Crop diversity Canada’s strength Logistics important | Canada has an export edge because of its complex and diverse handling abilities

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Amid the frustration, financial pain and fretting over Canada’s clogged grain transportation system, speakers at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium lauded its usual performance and structure.

They said it was key to what gives

Canadian crops an edge in world markets.

“All food and agriculture supply chains are complex, but Canada’s is even more so,” Cargill Inc. executive chair Greg Page told the conference April 15.

He said the average Cargill facility in the United States handles only two crops and its facilities in Brazil often

handle only one crop. However, the average Cargill Canada facility deals with five or six crops.

“This complexity and diversity is a challenge we have to work on together, but it’s an enormous strength for Canada,” said Page.

Mark Hemmes of federally appointed grain system monitor Quorum Corp. struck the same note

WAITING FOR SPRING TO ARRIVE

as he introduced a panel discussion on the future needs of grain logistics.

“Canada has one of the best if not the best and most advanced grain handling and transportation system in the world, but we have challenges like no other one has, and for that reason we have to be good,” said Hemmes.

Updated plant breeders’ rights act wins praise New legislation good for farmers, plant breeders says cereal breeder

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Proposed amendments to federal plant breeders’ rights legislation will benefit farmers, plant breeders and seed companies, says a respected cereal breeder from the University of Saskatchewan.

Bryan Harvey, who developed or co-developed more than 50 varieties of barley, said legislation aimed at modernizing the PBR Act is long overdue and should not be feared by producers.

He said an updated PBR Act will provide greater protections for intellectual property, generate more revenue for plant breeders and encourage investment by private and public breeding organizations.

For farmers, that will mean more new crop varieties and improved productivity.

MARKETS 6 “Being really good at this isn’t good enough. We have to be the best and be continually getting better.”

Speakers repeatedly noted the wide range of crops that Canadian far mers grow and the massive amount of on-farm storage that exists in Canada but not in key competitors such as the United States and Australia.

As a result, Canada has evolved a “just-in-time” grain handling system that is normally more efficient and creates more value than bulk storage systems based on giant elevators and terminals that can’t do as good a job separating crops, qualities and specific grades.

Rabobank managing director Bill Cordingley said Canada’s system “in a normal situation is a very efficient system.”

The problems in a year like this one were seen at the Port of Vancouver, where the number of grain ships at anchor swelled while ships for other commodities became less backlogged, even though all commodities were affected by slow rail service.

“That is an issue with the supply chain,” said Chris Wellstood of Port Metro Vancouver.

Terminal operators told the port that ships couldn’t be fully loaded because the clogged prairie elevator system and rail service were providing only enough for partial loading of various crops and grades. As a result, ships

would wait until they could be filled.

Cargill Canada chief executive officer Jeff Vassart said the Canadian system needs to build more capacity and develop an even more collaborative approach in the future. However, he also said the industry needs to realize that while this year has created uniquely bad luck for grain shippers and farmers, it is usually a great advantage.

“Complex, yes, but even more powerful because I think it gives us the opportunity as an industry to truly differentiate and serve the individual needs of customers here at home and all around the world,” said Vassart.

“We have an infrastructure and a supply chain unlike anywhere else in the world. We need to take full advantage of that in order to truly be that market leader.”

However, Vassart said system capacity needs to be built not just for a slow-but-steady growth in crop production but also to be able to handle way-above-trend growth as was seen last year.

“I think this past year is an indication, when the stars align, of what we’re truly capable of in terms of production,” said Vassart.

“To only use a long-term yield trend to predict what the size of our production and what our crops will be going forward, I’m not sure that positions ourselves to be successful in the future.”

RESEARCH | FROM PAGE ONE

Praise for PBR “Collecting royalties on our varieties is a very important source of revenue,” Harvey told an event that AgWest Bio hosted in Saskatoon April 17.

“The key thing of course is that we keep funding flowing to … (plant breeding) programs.”

Debate surrounding Canada’s PBR Act has increased over the past few months following the introduction of Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act. Bill C-18 was introduced in Parliament last December and is currently in second reading.

Passage of the bill is expected by August.

Among other things, Bill C-18 proposes amendments to Canada’s existing PBR Act to bring plant breeders rights in line with the 1991 convention of the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties, also known as UPOV 91.

Plant breeders and life science companies generally support the notion of updating Canada’s PBR provisions to conform with UPOV 91.

However, many growers and some farm groups see the changes as a loss of farmer control over Canada’s seed supply.

The National Farmers Union, for example, has strongly condemned Bill C-18, saying it will restrict farmers’ ability to save and replant seed and will result in higher seed prices.

“UPOV 91 isn’t about innovation,” the NFU said when Bill C-18 was introduced.

“It’s about restricting what farmers can do with seed and giving seed companies powerful new tools to extract money from farmers.”

Anthony Parker, commissioner of plant breeders’ rights with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, said many misconceptions surround UPOV 91.

One of the most common is that a UPOV 91 compliant PBR Act will eliminate a farmer’s right to save and reuse seed for the purpose of growing a crop in subsequent years.

Parker said UP OV 91 w ill not affect the right to save and reuse seed as long as the seed is not being sold as brown bagged seed to other producers.

This practice is already illegal in Canada and would remain illegal under UPOV 91.

Another common misconception is that updating Canada’s PBR legislation will automatically result in the introduction of an end point royalty system, in which farmers would be required to pay a royalty on every tonne of grain produced from a PBR protected variety.

Parker said a PBR Act that complies with UPOV 91 would not necessarily result in the implementation of end point royalties (EPR), but it could facilitate such a system in the future.

“We have some tools there that may facilitate (EPRs) in the future but … it’s going to require a very comprehensive dialogue between farmer organizations and breeders to discuss how we want to increase the levels of investment and innovation in plant breeding,” Parker said.

Some observers say Bill C-18 is best described as enabling legislation that, if passed, would allow Ottawa to make future regulatory changes that could affect the way plant breeders collect royalties on their new seed products.

Students tout new food source: flies Economical protein source? | Black soldier flies could be raised for livestock, human use

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Four University of Lethbridge agriculture and management students will be gratified if food product labels one day list hermetia illucens as an ingredient.

Hermetia illucens is the Latin name for the black soldier fly, and the students successfully defended the case for raising the flies as a protein source for animal feed and human food.

Monica Gorham, Rebecca Joseph, Phyllis MacCallum and Lara de Moissac won first place in the International Agribusiness Case Competition recently held at the University of Guelph.

The challenge requires university student teams to read a case they haven’t seen before, analyze it, determine its pros and cons and then present a five-year implemen-

tation plan to a panel of judges — all in the space of five hours.

In making their case, the women concluded that flies could be a protein source for livestock and people, given future limitations on global land resources and water supply.

“We really felt it was a viable source in reality,” Gorham said.

“We were really excited about the opportunity that that could actually happen in the world, and I think that’s what kind of helped us with moving forward and placing first.

We really believed in what we were telling people.”

Team members learned that several companies are considering using insects as protein, particularly in livestock feed and aquaculture, and they have identified the black soldier fly as a good candidate.

“We looked into the life cycle of the insect and it has a very quick reproduction cycle,” said MacCallum.

“Because they are cold blooded, you don’t really need a housing facility for them that’s really high tech, so the energy bill of producing them isn’t high.”

The flies can feed on waste from food already approved for human consumption, eliminating safety issues with food quality approvals.

“The nice thing with this specific insect that we chose is that it reproduces really fast. The larva is actually big in size so you can easily sift it out,” said Gorham.

The students found some judges less than enthused about their proposal to include ground insects in protein powders and spreads for human consumption. However, Gorham said the idea doesn’t bother her.

“We even said during our question period that I think if I ground up an insect, it wouldn’t bother me … and if you put its Latin name on

an ingredient package, nobody would even notice.”

Added MacCallum: “We already consume some percentage of insect. It might not be very much right now, but to move forward with this, it’s just so economical, really, that it would be beneficial for all of us, I think.”

The win in Guelph also won the team a berth in a similar competition to be held in Cape Town, South Africa, June 15-19.

Gorham and MacCallum said they intend to go and are now raising the estimated $5,000 each that the trip will require. They hope to get sponsors from the agriculture industry as part of their funding.

The South African competition is sponsored by the International Food and Agribusiness Management Association and is part of that group’s 25th anniversary. About 20 case teams are expected to compete.

CWB adds elevator capacity, buys Prairie West for $43 million

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

West-central Saskatchewan’s Prairie West Terminal network is being bought by CWB and added to the former export monopoly’s burgeoning grain-handling system.

CWB is paying $43 million for the company, which is owned by shareholders including many farmers. It operates grain elevators in Plenty, Dodsland, Luseland and Kindersley.

CWB chief executive officer Ian White said the purchase, which still

has to be approved by shareholders after receiving unanimous support from the PWT board of directors, adds crucial reach to the CWB. “We think it fits extremely well with us,” said White. “(They’re) all good positions that we would hope to be able to help the management build on over time and improve. We see those as all good locations for us and gives us much more presence in Saskatchewan, which we’re looking to have.”

PWT CEO Chad Campbell said he anticipated widespread farmershareholder support for the deal.

The CWB has a good name in the area.

“I think they’ve got their eye on the best interest of the farmer,” said Campbell. “Being an independent, producer-owned terminal we thought it fit well.”

PWT management will remain with C WB and White said the CWB’s ability to access capital will help PWT to expand and improve its abilities while its marketing connections will allow local farmers to move more through the facilities.

The transaction, which is not backed by government guarantee

but is being financed through CWB retained earnings and commercial borrowing, must be approved by two-thirds of PWT shareholders and is expected to close in June.

CWB already had a minority share in PWT, but if the transaction is approved it will own 100 percent of the shares.

When CWB bought its present stake in PWT, it signed a deal with PWT to examine whether a deal could be made for CWB to take over the rest of the company.

Since then the company hasn’t been talking to other potential buyers.

DIESEL FUEL | SUPPLY

Fuel in good supply despite explosion: FCL Production back to normal | Although supply is on track, the rising price is blamed on the refinery’s temporary shutdown

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Christmas Eve explosion at a major western Canadian refinery won’t curtail the supply of diesel fuel this spring.

“We believe that we’re in as good or better shape than we ever have been going into the spring seeding period,” said Cal Fichter, vice-president of energy with Federated Co-operatives Ltd. “We don’t see any issues whatsoever.”

An explosion at the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina temporarily reduced production to 60 to 65 percent of normal output.

FCL was forced to buy fuel from other suppliers for a couple of months while it resolved the problem at its refinery.

Diesel production at Regina had returned to normal by early March.

Gasoline output is still reduced, but the refinery had a surplus before the incident so supply of both fuels is now in balance with demand.

“We expect to be self-sufficient in supply from now on,” said Fichter.

Vic Huard, vice-president of corporate affairs with FCL, said diesel inventories are full at the refinery complex and at FCL’s bulk fuel plants dotting the countryside. The company has also been encouraging growers to fill their on-farm storage tanks.

“By all accounts that’s happening, so we’re pretty confident, frankly, in the supply chain,” he said.

“As will happen every year, our challenge won’t be supply; it will be logistics in terms of getting fuel out to those places that are running low.”

The price of farm diesel has been on the rise, according to statistics gathered by Alberta Agriculture.

The average price of marked farm fuel with the provincial allowance deducted was $117.15 per 100 litres in March, up 16 percent from a year ago. The price has been steadily increasing this year.

Diesel fuel is one of the top variable expenses for farmers, according to provincial crop production guides.

Jason Toews, co-founder of GasBuddy.com, said the average price at

The retail price for farm diesel has risen 11 to 14 percent in the three prairie provinces this spring. | retail pumps in Saskatchewan is up 14 percent from a year ago. Alberta’s price has risen 13 percent and Manitoba’s is up 11 percent. “(The increase) definitely is substantial,” he said.

Toews believes the price hike is directly related to the temporary production shortfall at the Co-op refinery, which is one of four major refineries operating in Western Canada.

“It has really pushed the price of diesel fuel up in particular,” he said.

“That’s one of the major reasons why we’re seeing diesel so high here right now.”

Huard said many variables go into fuel pricing, such as the U.S. econo-

my heating up, but he stressed there was never a shortage of the fuel.

“There was diesel on the market.

There was no diesel shortage in spite of our production challenges in the short-term,” he said.

“Because if there really had been a diesel shortage, we wouldn’t have been able to source any.”

Michael Ervin, president of MJ Ervin & Associates, a consulting firm specializing in the petroleum refining and marketing industries, can’t figure out why farm diesel prices have been increasing when the wholesale price has been flat this year.

“It’s a mystery to me because farm prices generally track the wholesale rack (price),” he said.

FILE PHOTO

MICHAEL ERVIN MJ ERVIN & ASSOCIATES

Ervin said there has been little volatility in the wholesale price of diesel, and he expected continued stability going forward. “(Prices) have been very stable since the beginning of the year, and there are no indications that that’s going to change,” he said.

The main factor in the price of diesel is the price of the raw material

used to make it, which is crude.

Crude prices are notoriously difficult to predict, but his best guess is that it won’t be fluctuating much.

“We have seen a lot of stability, and certainly barring any geopolitical events that by nature are hard to predict, there’s no reason to believe that they won’t continue to remain stable,” said Ervin.

The other big factor for diesel prices is the refiner crack spread, which is the difference between the price of the crude and the refined product.

Ervin said that spread has also been consistent.

“The market is well supplied, so I don’t see any likelihood of any particular volatility for diesel,” he said.

AGRONOMY | FIELD TO MARKET PROJECT

U.S. project targets sustainability to rate environmental footprint

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Steve Peterson, a farmer and General Mills employee, says there’s a wrong way and a right way to motivate farmers to change their agronomic practices.

The wrong way is to tell a farmer what to do and how to do it.

The right way is to tell the farmer it’s an opportunity to best his neighbour.

“I call it the Frank Lahr model of change,” said Peterson, director of sustainable sourcing at General Mills, who also runs a farm near Paynesville, Minnesota.

Lahr was Peterson’s neighbour and

was regarded as the best farmer around Paynesville.

“Any farmer, they’ll tell you they’re most motivated by having a better crop than their nearest and best farmer. That was Frank for us.”

With the Frank Lahr model in mind, General Mills and more than a dozen Fortune 500 companies have embarked on a project called Field To Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture.

McDonald’s, Walmart, Unilever, Kellogg’s, Coca-Cola, Cargill and Land of Lakes have worked with grower groups, including the National Association of Wheat Growers, National Corn Growers, the United

Soybean Board and the American Farm Bureau, to encourage farmers to adopt more sustainable practices.

Peterson said Field to Market doesn’t tell farmers what to do or how to do it.

“Field to Market is not about a prescriptive checklist…. It’s not about compliance, ” said Peterson, chair of Field to Market.

“This is about measuring your operation, looking through the sustainability lens and then looking for opportunities to be more effective in the application of your inputs….

Stewardship choices equal enhanced profitability…. We look at it as an innovation opportunity.”

Field to Market was formed in 2007, but the organization has spent most of the last seven years establishing a consensus around what is sustainable and what is not.

The result is the Fieldprint Calculator, an online program for potato, corn, cotton, rice, wheat, alfalfa and soybean growers in the United States.

The calculator evaluates the environmental footprint of a farm based on: • land use • soil erosion • soil carbon • irrigation water use • water quality • energy use

• greenhouse gas emissions Field to Market president Rod Snyder said it uses tillage, water use, variable rate fertilizer and other agronomic factors to establish an environmental footprint.

Field to Market is an American project based on U.S. Department of Agriculture science, so the Calculator doesn’t apply to distinctly Canadian crops such as canola and oats.

Snyder said the organization might soon make it available for Canadian growers.

“We have had a lot of interest from Canada,” he said. “We’ve heard from groups up there that would like to take a similar approach.”

Grain hauling targets imposed by the federal government might be keeping the major railways busy, but short-line railways say they have more difficulties getting cars because of it. | FILE PHOTO GRAIN MOVEMENT | RAIL MANDATE

Grain targets hurt service, says short line Waiting for cars | Major railways focus on quick hauls but hang others out to dry, says Great Western Railway

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest shipper of producer-filled grain cars says railway service across much of southern Saskatchewan has become worse since Ottawa imposed minimum weekly grain targets.

Doug Tallon, chair of Great Western Railway Ltd. in Shaunavon, Sask., said deliveries of empty grain cars to GWR in south-central and southwestern Saskatchewan are worse now than they were in early March when Ottawa imposed an order requiring Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to move a million tonnes of grain per week.

Transport Canada officials said April 17 that CN and CP are meeting their obligations under the federal order, meaning that fines as high as $100,000 per day have not been issued.

However, Tallon said car spotting on GWR track has deteriorated over the past month, and the number of undelivered rail cars continues to grow.

“I think it did,” said Tallon when asked if car spotting performance by CP has deteriorated.“I feel we’ve had really bad service since January, but I think it’s gotten worse (since Ottawa introduced the targets).”

GWR said the shortfall of rail cars to its shippers is more than 2,100.

CP indicated last fall that it would provide GWR with 134 cars per week.

“Our orders are coming in at a higher rate than that, so even if they did deliver on those 134 cars … we would just be falling further behind.”

GWR moves grain on its own track and on two other short lines in southern Saskatchewan: Fife Lake Railway and Red Coat Rail.

Tallon said 2013-14 was shaping up to be a record year for GWR in terms of overall grain movement, but a lack of empty rail cars has derailed the momentum.

“The biggest impact for our short line is that under this new marketing environment, we’ve had such great opportunities to open new relationships with new buyers, but unfortunately … we haven’t been able to

It’s frustrating for us because if we’d had cars, we would have had a huge season … but I don’t know now if we can even catch up, let alone get ahead of the game.

meet our commitments,” he said.

“They (new buyers) are sourcing grain on our line, but they can’t get it because we can’t get any cars…. It’s really hurt us. It’s frustrating for us because if we’d had cars, we would have had a huge season … but I don’t know now if we can even catch up, let alone get ahead of the game.”

When Ottawa imposed minimum weekly targets on CN and CP nearly seven weeks ago, some shippers predicted that short-line railway companies and elevators located on short lines and branch lines could suffer, at

least in the short term.

Observers suggested that CN and CP, in an effort to meet the federally imposed targets and avoid fines, would focus on hauling grain from main-line locations and from areas where car cycle times are relatively short.

Tallon’s comments suggest that those fears were not unfounded.

He said Canada’s major railways may be moving more grain on the whole, but they are doing it at the expense of smaller shippers.

“You can … (meet the targets) if you starve everyone that’s off the main line, I guess,” Tallon said.

Transport Canada officials said last week that CN and CP are meeting the weekly targets imposed by Ottawa but refused to share details about where grain is moving from and where it is being unloaded.

“CN and CP are reporting their grain movements on a weekly basis, as required by the order in council and have met the prescribed target for each specific week,” Transport Canada said in an April 17 email.

“The order requires railways themselves to produce a report indicating the weekly volume demand and the volumes of grain moved in each corridor, (but) this data is confidential based on provisions of the Canada Transportation Act.” Requests for an interview with Transport Canada were declined.

Tallon said his short line is now hoping that Ottawa’s proposed railway legislation, the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, will result in better rail service. That bill is likely to receive government approval when Parliament resumes sitting April 28.

Also last week, Weyburn Inland Terminal issued a statement confirming it would not accept deliveries until May. A message on the WIT website said the terminal is conducting a complete audit of grain inventories and will not take any deliveries between April 21 and May 2.

WIT is one of the largest terminals in southeastern Saskatchewan. It was recently purchased by Parrish & Heimbecker.

BIOFUEL | CANADIAN SUPPLY

Canadian biodiesel exports put mandate into question Tapping U.S. tax credits | While domestic fuel heads south, Canada imported 520 million litres to meet the biodiesel mandate

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Hardly any of Canada’s biodiesel mandate is being filled by domestically produced product.

“Last year we exported 100 percent of our production and then imported the equivalent to meet our mandate,” said Scott Thurlow, president of the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association (CRFA).

Canada’s two percent mandate, which requires diesel to contain two percent fuel from renewable sources, requires about 520 million litres of annual renewable diesel consumption. The vast majority of that is being

filled by imported biodiesel from the United States.

Meanwhile, the 300 million litres produced in Canada last year headed south.

“It was exported to the United States to take advantage of very rich tax credits,” said Thurlow.

The U.S. has a $1 per gallon blender’s tax credit that expired on Dec. 31. U.S. Congress is contemplating extending the tax credit, which would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2014, and last through Dec. 31, 2015.

John Bennett, executive director of Sierra Club Canada, said transporting Canadian biodiesel south and importing U.S. biodiesel to fill the void reduces

the fuel’s environmental benefits.

“This kind of thing brings the whole concept of trying to introduce renewable fuel into the mix into disrepute,” he said. “Environmentalists believe that we should do things as locally as possible because it reduces the emissions and pollution associated with transporting materials.”

Bennett believes there is a simple solution.

“This is clearly an argument why Canada should have at least as good incentive programs for the production of biofuels as the United States so that this anomaly wouldn’t take place,” he said.

Don O’Connor, president of S&T

Squared Consultants and developer of the GHGenius calculator that the federal government uses to determine the life cycle assessment of transportation fuels, said the situation isn’t as stark as portrayed by Thurlow.

Some Canadian biodiesel stays in the country to meet the federal mandate, but the vast majority is exported to the U.S. to collect the tax credit.

Canadian biofuel is also exported to the U.S. because it is a year-round market for biodiesel while in Canada most of the blending takes place between April and October.

O’Connor said the GHGenius calculator was recently updated to more accurately reflect the emissions asso-

ciated with growing canola. The updated calculator shows Alberta biodiesel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 90.5 percent compared to regular diesel.

However, that is for canola biodiesel that is produced and used in the province.

The number would be lower if the biofuel is shipped out-of-country and replaced with imported U.S. biodiesel, although there wouldn’t be a huge reduction be-cause fuel transportation isn’t a big factor in calculating greenhouse gas emissions.

“Rail is a pretty GHG efficient means of transporting products,” said O’Connor.

Grant Fehr, flaxseed position manager with Legumex Walker Inc., said North American production was low and demand has been strong.

Sales to the United States will exceed 200,000 tonnes, China is expected to buy another 200,000 tonnes, and then there is the return of a familiar customer.

“We’re going to see 200,000 tonnes moving to Europe,” he said.

It would be the largest sales program to the European Union since the 2009 Triffid scare, when an unapproved GM variety was found in Canadian flax shipments to Europe and shut down trade to the region.

The Black Sea region had a disappointing crop, some of which is just now being harvested.

Most of the Black Sea crop will be sold to India, Eastern Europe and Belgium, leaving Canada and others to fill the void in Western Europe.

There has been a softening in Europe’s attitude toward Canadian flax.

“The stigma of Triffid is waning, although for the food market it’s not yet,” said Fehr.

The upshot is that Canada will have a strong 2013-14 sales program, which should chew away at the estimated 760,000 tonnes of Canadian total supply.

Fehr thinks 160,000 tonnes will be left, some of which will be used as

“We’ll have a carryout between 80,000 and 100,000 tonnes,” he said.

That’s a far cry from the 160,000 tonnes forecast by Agriculture Canada.

“It’s going to get relatively tight.”

As a result, he expects the oilseed will be a popular choice with farmers this year, forecasting 1.5 to 1.75 million acres. That is a lot more than the 1.24 million acres Agriculture Canada is projecting.

Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its seeding intentions survey April 24.

“Flax has a good return on investment compared to a lot of other crops,” said Fehr.

“It’s a good alternative at a lower risk than let’s say canola or even wheat.”

Flax typically fetches a $2 per bushel premium over canola. It wasn’t around for much of the winter but is starting to reappear.

Legumex Walker was paying $14 per bu. for old crop and $12 for new crop flax earlier this week. Fehr expects those prices to converge in the coming months.

“I think it’s going to converge closer to the new crop level than it will to the old crop level,” he said.

A lot depends on what happens to soybean prices. Soybeans have been on a bit of a bull run, but Fehr expects prices to drop as U.S. farmers begin planting this year’s crop.

U.S. growers are expected to plant 326,000 acres of flax, which is up 80 percent from last year but slightly below 2012 levels. Last year was an anomaly because many growers couldn’t plant flax due to the wet spring.

U.S. flax prices have been a lot higher than Canadian prices since last fall’s harvest.

“They’ve just had some good demand and an empty pipeline and they’ve been just trying to fill it up,” said Fehr.

He expected brown flax prices to remain stable for the rest of this year unless soybean markets go topsyturvy.

There could be some good pricing opportunities for organic and golden flax, but seed for planting will be hard to come by for those two types.

Market straddles complacency and worry

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Recent tempestuousness in crop markets underlines two crucial dynamics of the present world market, according to a leading Rabobank analyst: • World crop stocks and trends are more comfortable than they have been for years.

• Demand is growing, and any real challenge to production scares buyers.

“We do have growing stocks, but we’re not out of the woods yet,” Bill Cordingley, a managing director with Rabobank International of the Americas, told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium April 15.

Cordingley said the market mood keeps shifting as complacency based on increasing world grain stocks collides with worries about political upheavals in the Black Sea region and weather threats to crops.

The growing stocks have led to the generally bearish mood as a rebuilding of stocks replaces years of steadily declining stocks-to-use.

“We have seen a pivot to more bearish grains and oilseeds markets,” said Cordingley.

However, he said stocks are back to only average levels in many ways.

Feedgrains such as corn might be more than 20 percent more comfortably stocked than in 2010, with corn rebuilding by about 17 percent in the last year. However, wheat stocks are still slightly below the five-year average, and supplies have grown only six percent in the last year.

Oilseeds are also comfortable, with global production growing 6.3 percent in the past year while demand has grown only 3.9 percent.

AGRI-FOOD TRADE | GROWTH

Agri-food exports rising, transportation an issue Shipping unreliable | Canada’s reputation has come into question after persistent transportation problems

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s agri-food exports continue to expand at a good pace.

Agriculture Canada released a report last week showing export sales grew by 8.1 percent in 2012 to $43.6 billion.

“It’s a good number, a strong number and obviously one that our agricultural exporters would like to see growing,” said Lisa Skierka, president of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance (CAFTA).

She got her wish. An analysis of data that was not included in the report shows exports expanded another 5.6 percent in 2013 to reach $46 billion.

Exports have grown every year since 2007 with the exception of the global economic recession in 2009.

Skierka said the strong sales program is due to Canada’s reputation for providing quality agriculture and agri-food products and to Ottawa’s commitment to trade.

“Certainly on the national stage we have a very active pro-trade agenda with the current government,” she said. “The work being done to pro-

mote Canadian agriculture and agrifood products is seen in numbers like this.”

However, it’s not all rosy.

Canada is developing a reputation as an unreliable supplier because of logistics issues such as this winter’s disappointing rail service.

“We won’t know for a while what the harm has been to the Canadian marketplace because of the transportation issue, but we certainly are concerned about the hit our reputation has taken internationally,” said Skierka.

CAFTA members have lost key customers and are constantly questioned by those who remain about Canada’s persistent transportation problems.

“We’re all hearing about it,” she said.

Agriculture Canada estimates that half of the value of Canada’s primary agriculture production is exported in the form of raw product or processed goods.

E x p or ts of p r i ma r y p ro d u c t s increased in value by 10.3 percent in 2012 to a record $21.9 billion. Sales of processed products increased by six percent to $21.7 billion.

Oilseeds and oilseed products

U.S. REMAINS TOP IMPORTER OF CANADIAN AGRI-FOODS

Some exporters say they lost customers because rail service issues delayed shipping. | FILE PHOTO accounted for 28.6 percent of all exports, followed by grain and grain products with 24.1 percent and live animals, red meat and other animal products at 17.3 percent.

The biggest growth category in 2012 was oilseeds and oilseed products, which expanded by 18 percent to reach $12.5 billion.

Grain and grain products grew by seven percent to $10.5 billion while live animals, red meat and other animal products increased by 3.6 percent to $7.5 billion.

Canada overtook Argentina in 2012

to become the world’s fifth largest exporter behind the European Union, the United States, Brazil and China.

The United States is Canada’s top agri-food customer, accounting for 48 percent of sales in 2012 and 51 percent last year.

“It’s a simple matter of geography.

They have a large population and a hungry population and we’re able to meet the needs of that marketplace,” said Skierka.

China has vaulted past Japan to become Canada’s second most valu-

able customer, buying $5 billion of products in 2012 and $5.17 billion in 2013. Sales to Japan tailed off slightly last year, falling to $3.89 billion from $3.97 billion in 2012.

Skierka said there are no signs Chinese demand will slow anytime soon because of its expanding population and growing middle class. She hopes the Canadian government will continue negotiating free trade agreements with key trading partners.

“We look forward to finalizing both the deal with the European Union and with Korea in the coming months.”

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE However, demand growth is still considered strong.

“We certainly have not seen a drop in demand,” said Cordingley.

It means that threats to production still scare the markets, even with more comfortable supplies.

The unrest in Ukraine has done that recently, worrying buyers that a huge new supply factor could falter this year.

Its corn crop last year was about 31 million tonnes, up from about 10.5 milion five years before.

“Ukraine has been rapidly stepping up” in recent years with massively increasing production and exports, Cordingley said.

As a result, disruptions to operating cash or problems obtaining enough fertilizer and other essential inputs caused by the conflict this spring will undermine buyers’ confidence about 2014-15 supplies.

“We’re still coming from historically low stock levels, and it only needs one little bump in the road, and we’ve had a couple.”

CROP PREDICTIONS | INFORMATION

Railways need crop forecasting assistance to plan service HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

N

o one in the prairie grain industry relies on government departments and agencies to give them the true size of a crop.

However, that’s something Canadian National Railway admits doing.

I was surprised — shocked, actually — when I heard this from CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Jean-Jacques Ruest in both a speech and an interview at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium April 15.

I mean, everybody takes Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada’s best guesses seriously, but only as a starting point, a base line. They then do a lot of work coming up with refined estimates that are much more likely to be accurate.

Except, apparently, for railways such as CN, which happen to be the single most important link in the supply chain that takes crops from prairie farms to customers on the other side of the planet.

I’m not mentioning this as a way of trashing people like Ruest or CN, who were honest and open at the

grain symposium, but as an introduction to three things I think are necessary to prevent this present logistics nightmare from recurring: • To the railways: get into the business of producing your own crop production estimates.

• To government: don’t you dare cut back on the quality or quantity of official estimates.

• To industry: get much more proactive in helping the railways, ports and others figure out what’s coming their way now and in coming years.

Here’s what I mean: Railways I was surprised to hear how reliant companies such as CN are on government crop estimates.

Grain companies, marketing agencies and others have staff and put lots of resources into formulating their own concrete estimates of crop size and quality.

The CWB, for excellent example, has long had a sophisticated internal crop surveillance program that gives the grain industry much needed upto-date information.

Farm marketing advisories such as FarmLink Marketing and Agri-Trend develop a pretty good sense of what their prairie-wide farmer base is likely to produce, as do analytical companies such as Informa Economics.

Railways, which are far bigger than any Canadian grain company or

A collaborative effort is needed among industry, government and railways to provide necessary information for efficient service. | FILE PHOTO marketing company, can do as well, and should do better.

Federal government If organizations such as CN are utterly reliant upon Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada to develop their sense of what capacity and planning they will need, then the government has a moral obligation, at least for now, to supply it.

We have a vibrant private sector grain industry, but it relies far more than I imagined on the crucial estimates issued by Agriculture Canada’s production and market outlooks and by Statistics Canada’s crop production and stockpile surveys.

The government has cut some funding from agencies such as Statistics Canada, and that has already outraged the analysts who rely upon it for establishing their baseline estimates.

With CN highlighting how it relies even more than the independent analysts on those numbers, the government had better not reduce the amount or quality of data coming from those sources.

Industry I was glad to hear that Canada’s grain companies are providing internal estimates and information to companies such as CN. That’s a sacrifice for them because internal numbers are often prized proprietary secrets and they’re not easy to share.

It shows that the grain companies are trying to do what they can to help.

However, I think the overall industry needs to go well beyond that.

The Canola Council of Canada is an excellent example of a sector getting together to provide concrete numbers and targets, years out into

the future, so that that all its constituent elements can get their acts together.

However, Ruest told me and the grain symposium that companies such as CN need things made simpler. CN has to carry a dozen crops at least, plus potash, coal, lumber and manufacturer goods.

“We need this whole discussion to be translated into what it means in the world we’re in, which is the world of tonnage,” said Ruest in the interview. “When we take one crop at a time, we don’t get the full picture of the capacity needed, so we need a kind of grain export forecast.”

Well, there you have it, I say to grain industry people from farmers to exporters: CN wants better information so it can do a better job for you. Get together and provide it.

The grain symposium showed that the Canada Grains Council is serious about trying to expand its role to fill in for the loss of the CWB’s central place in grain organization. I can’t think of a more ideal organization than the council to take on that role of organizing information flow from the industry to CN and Canadian Pacific Railway. It should be considering doing that This nightmare winter shows that everyone needs to do a better job communicating, so it’s now up to the railways, government and industry to do it.

SEEDING | STATISTICS CANADA REPORT

’Tis the season for seeding surveys, production outlooks MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

M

ost of you will get this paper on April 24, the same day Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its survey on seeding intentions.

We’ll have same day coverage of the report in the daily news section at Producer.com and we’ll provide the numbers the instant we get them through our Twitter feeds.

The information from the report

Stats Canada seeding intentions data will be released this week. | FILE PHOTO will go into the mix of data that the market sorts through as it establishes prices.

The report on Rabobank’s outlook on page 6 sums up the current mar-

Weighted average steer prices were $145.65 per hundredweight, up 41 cents, in light trade, and heifers averaged $146.02, up $1.14.

There was better competition between Canadian buyers, but U.S. interest was light.

The show list was a mix of clean-up yearlings and a few terminal sort heavy calves.

The cash-to-futures basis weakened $3.75 to -$14.97.

Sale volume rose 18 percent to 12,246 head, which was up 32 percent over the same week last year.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to April 12 rose 15 percent to 38,161 head.

Weekly fed cattle exports to April 5 rose two percent to 12,075 head.

Cattle continued to be marketed a little early.

Packers have a comfortable supply, but few cattle are up to desirable specifications.

Packers will start bidding on a carcass basis as more calves enter the market, and landed feedlot prices are expected to soften.

COWS MIXED A few more calving culls were available on the butcher cow market, but volumes are generally manageable.

Butcher cows were mixed as D3 prices gained on D1, D2 values.

D1, D2 cows ranged $97-$111 per cwt. to average $103.88, down 62 cents from the week before. D3 cows ranged $87-$100 to average $93.50, up $1.50.

Alberta cows have been trading at a $5-$6 premium over the eastern Canadian market.

There has been some interest in young, feeder-type cows. They are trading at $95-$110 per cwt.

FEEDERS PUSH HIGHER Competition for bunk replacement and grass cattle is strong and prices moved to new record highs.

Some operations that would typically keep cattle on grass for sale in the fall are instead taking advantage of strong cash prices and marketing their feeders now.

Yearling supplies this fall could be snug if this trend continues.

Heifer marketings have increased as producers select their breeding

interfered with grain exports. Spring seeding of barley, spring wheat and corn is proceeding and there was rain recently to help the winter wheat. But farmers might not have the money for all necessary inputs.

The market expects Ukraine will produce less corn. Some forecasts see production falling to about 23 million tonnes from about 31 million last year. Much will depend on whether the crisis can be contained.

Diplomats from Ukraine, Russia, the European Union and the United States hammered out a deal to cool the conflict last week, but a clash in eastern Ukraine on the weekend that left three dead threatened to intensify the conflict.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE RISE

ket psychology of general comfort about grain supply but lingering nervousness, built up over several supply shocks in recent years.

Any threat to production generates

a quick rally. The two threats this spring have been the Ukraine crisis and the dry weather and frost in the U.S. plains threatening the hard red winter wheat crop.

Central and eastern parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma this week are expected to get 25 to 75 millimetres of rain, which should lessen worries about production, although some of the rain might come in intense storms.

The rain forecast hammered wheat futures three percent lower on Monday.

Warmer weather in the Midwest this week could jump start seeding.

As of April 20 only six percent of corn was seeded, ahead of last year’s four percent but behind the five-year average of 14 percent.

As for Ukraine, the turmoil has not

herd. Commercial auction facilities have reported that heifer volumes are more than double the number of steers.

The steer-heifer price spread appears to be narrowing, especially on calves and light stockers, even with larger heifer volumes.

Feeder export volumes have been significantly larger in the first quarter of this year than in recent years.

Exports last week reached 17,000 head for the third consecutive week, which has to be a concern for Canadian packers down the road.

These strong exports mean feeder basis levels will likely strengthen further in the weeks ahead.

BEEF PRICE TURNAROUND The wholesale Choice beef cutout April 17 rose to $225.88 US per cwt, while Select cutout was $215.43.

The cutout has likely bottomed.

Packers’ operating margins are negative, which means they will likely try to push wholesale prices higher as we move into the spring grilling season.

Canadian cut-out values for the week ending April 12 fell, with AAA down $1.89 at $236.07 Cdn per cwt. and AA down $4.25 at $232.23.

PRAIRIE CATTLE ON FEED There were 984,112 cattle on feed in Alberta and Saskatchewan feedlots April 1, up eight percent from the same time last year.

The feedlot number might have increased more if it was not for the large exports to the United States.

Placements into feedlots in March were 160,288, down nine percent from last year at the same time and down 16 percent from the five year average.

Marketings in March were 144,488, up 12 percent from last year but one percent less than the five year average.

Other disappearance was 12,363, less than half of last year’s total.

This cattle market information is selected from the weekly report from Canfax, a division of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association. More market information, analysis and statistics are available by becoming a Canfax subscriber by calling 403275-5110 or at www.canfax.ca.

HOGS FALL U.S. cash hog prices continued to fall as packers reduced slaughter to match the tight number of marketready hogs.

Also, packers had met most of the Easter ham demand and were preparing for a week made short by the Easter Monday holiday.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered to plants were $86 US per hundredweight April 17, down from $89 April 11.

The U.S. pork cutout fell to $120.08 per cwt. April 17, down from $124.76 April 11.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the four days to April 17 was 1.621 million, down from 1.627 the previous week in the same period and 1.72 million in the same period last year.

BISON STRONGER The Canadian Bison Association said tight supply, strong demand and the weak Canadian dollar are sup-

porting prices.

Grade A bulls w ith desirable weights rose to $4.10 Cdn per pound hot hanging weight. Grade A heifers sold up to $4. Cull cow and bull prices averaged $2.

Cull cow and bull prices were as high at $2.50 hot hanging weight in limited trade.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

Bulls and heifers were $2.10 at the farm in limited live trade.

LAMBS MIXED Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 876 sheep and 96 goats sold April 14.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $140-$190 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $146-$210, 70-85 lb. were $150-$192, 86-105 lb. were $143-$160 and 106 lb. and heavier were $140-$153.

Wool rams were $51-$109 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $40-$88 and bred ewes were $90-$200 per head.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were

$132-$160 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $142-$178, 70-85 lb. were $140-$172, 86-105 lb. were $135-$150 and 106 lb. and heavier were $130-$145.

Hair rams were $53-$100 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $42-$70 and ewelamb families were $150-$200 per unit.

Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $195-$225. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $200-$245. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $200-$240 per cwt. Nannies were $65-$90 per cwt. Billies were $85-$137.50.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 3,280 sheep and lambs and 173 goats traded April 14. All well-finished light lambs sold stronger for the entire sale, while under-finished lights sold under pressure.

Heavy lambs sold steady. Sheep sold barely steady to lower. Good kid goats sold at premium prices.

LABOUR | ATTRACTING WORKERS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Promotion, training necessary to attract agricultural workers

S

tatistics show that fewer than one-third of Canadian farmers use hired labour.

Statistics don’t show whether that’s because they don’t need help or they can’t find help.

Food and commodity producers across Canada say it is becoming increasingly difficult to find people willing to work on the farm, regardless of farm type. Hog producers can’t find barn workers. Grain farmers can’t find truck drivers. Feedlots can’t find cattle handlers. Fruit growers can’t find fruit pickers.

Statistically, total employment in agriculture has been declining since at least 1950, when 1.2 million people were employed in agriculture. Now the total is 315,000.

Technology use and ever-increasing farm efficiencies are largely the reason. Fewer people are needed, yet fewer people seem to be available to do the work.

Data shows Canada’s labour market as a whole is shrinking, with fewer people entering the workforce than leaving it, according to data compiled by agricultural economist Ray Bollman, formerly of Statistics Canada.

There are fewer labourers in general, ergo fewer agricultural labourers in general.

Yet from an economist’s point of view, there is little evidence of an agricultural labour shortage, said Bollman. So far as anyone can determine, every acre that was planted last year was harvested, every steer fattened went to slaughter and every apple grown was picked.

Bollman was not denying farmer difficulties in finding help. Rather, his point was that it is difficult if not impossible to gauge productivity losses that result from labour shortages.

That doesn’t mean they weren’t there, but without documented productivity losses, it’s harder to force action on the problem.

A crop that is seeded before timely spring rain can yield much more than one that is delayed because there weren’t enough people on the crew to get the job done.

A crop that is combined before a harvesthalting autumn rain may yield the same as a crop combined after said rain, but losses can occur in grade and profit.

And a steer that doesn’t get an accurate and timely vaccination against disease because there was no knowledgeable employee to administer it will still get to slaughter, but its weight and grade might be reduced, and so will profits.

Then there’s the physical toll that longer hours, necessitated by a labour shortage, can have on farmers. Health, safety and family relationships can suffer. All of which is to say that farm labour shortages can potentially have huge, though unmeasured, costs.

The catch-22 is that a combination of these costs limits farmers’ ability to pay more for labour, often cited for potential employees’ reluctance to take farm jobs.

The seasonality of many positions and the requirement for greater technical skills in many jobs are also major impediments. So is the notion that all farm jobs are mundane or physically difficult.

The solutions? Statistics don’t provide them.

Many farm groups are pressing for quicker and easier approvals for seasonal foreign farm workers. That may be the quickest remedy in the short term, but more effort must be made to train and employ Canadian farm workers on a permanent basis.

And that’s going to require better promotion of the opportunities available, improved human resource management on the part of farmers and creation of training programs for agriculture’s more technical jobs.

Those things, and other potential remedies, will take time to implement, and that means the employee squeeze is likely to get worse before it gets better.

BIG HARVEST | SIZING IT UP

Bruce Dyck, Terry Fries, Barb Glen, D’Arce McMillan and Joanne Paulson collaborate in the writing of Western Producer editorials.

For us to size-up those asset capacities and what we need to do, we need to get a signal from somewhere and we look by and large for the signal to come from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. When you miss it by that much, it’s very difficult to catch up.

ANIMAL WELFARE | POULTRY WELFARE CODES

Government hold on poultry code funding a disservice to industry CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

Delay in updating code leaves producers a target

I

f you’ve turned on your television or opened a newspaper lately, you’ll likely have seen yet another investigative report about animal welfare in Canada.

These days, it seems the latest slew of undercover footage shot by activists disguised as farm workers features poultry barns.

The most recent incident occurred in a hatchery owned by Maple Leaf Foods, which was accused in midApril of malpractice while euthanizing chicks.

Don’t get me wrong: there are two sides to every story. Undercover footage is always a slippery stone for any journalist. Context is key and verifying hidden camera video for accuracy can be tricky.

Still, these recent media reports are indicative of a surging trend: people care about how livestock is being treated in this country’s barns.

Animal welfare is a conversation that Canadians continue to have at the dinner table.

More and more, consumers are telling researchers, pollsters and big box restaurants and grocery stores that they need assurances the food on their plate was raised in “humane” and “sustainable” conditions.

That is why the lull in federal funding for the final two updates for the national animal welfare codes for poultry (meat birds and layers) is baffling.

The National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) has been around since 2005 and is responsible for developing animal welfare policy in Canada.

The partnership, which includes industry, government, academia and other stakeholders, has been re v i e w i n g a n d u p d at i n g e i g ht national animal welfare codes since 2010.

Six of those codes (pork, mink, equine, sheep, beef cattle, and farmed fox) are complete, detailing new mandatory care standards and recommended practices.

Several stakeholder groups have, or are considering, incorporating the modernized codes into their own onfarm industry standards.

The project is funded by Agriculture Canada, and therein lies the problem.

The first grant expired in March, before the poultry code updates were finalized.

The council applied for additional funding several months ago under Growing Forward 2, but those applications are still pending.

The lag in funding means both poultry codes are on hold until further notice, the council told members in its monthly newsletter earlier

this month.

Yet, news of alleged malpractice in Canadian barns continues to make headlines, infiltrating living rooms and water cooler chitchats across the country.

Meanwhile, the industry is left pointing to animal welfare codes desperately out of date when confronted with video accusations of abuse and maltreatment of animals.

Neither poultr y code has been updated since 2003.

Farmers continue to face heightened criticism from consumers severely disconnected from the farm, and the delay in funding now means these codes are an easy target for activists who insist government and agriculture don’t care about Canadian livestock.

Yes, there are disputes about whether the codes are actually effective and enforceable, and debate continues over whether more provinces should reference them in their animal cruelty legislation. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland already do.

Despite this, one thing is clear: Canadians want, and love, to talk about food.

With the gap between the farm and their forks widening by the day, the NFACC codes give industry a voice at the consumer table.

Government stalling on the poultry codes leaves industry in the lurch, while politicians and bureaucrats risk fueling an emotional debate on what is already a sensitive topic.

Government, too, benefits from modern codes. Provincial and federal officials can use the NFACC to educate and converse with consumers about where their food comes from, all the while learning a few lessons in farm operations from those on the ground.

Rational conversation about animal welfare in this country is possible, but only if every player is at the table. Otherwise, the result is a blame game with no winners, only losers.

Rural parishes: behind closed doors

Young firebrand joins Producer as columnist

BY PATRICIA GENDREAU

M

any church buildings in southeastern Manitoba are closing their doors one by one under the direction of the SaintBoniface Archdiocese.

The distinguished steeples crowned with a metal cross and nesting a bell chamber are slowly disappearing from our prairie horizons.

These Roman or gothic styled architectural gems were built on the area’s highest elevation and were once the heartbeat of the community.

However, the large bronze bells are falling into silence. No longer will they toll three times a day for the Angelus or to announce a marriage, a baptism, a funeral or even imminent danger such as a prairie fire.

How is the suppression of a parish decided? What criteria do we have for the permanent closing of church doors?

What are the implications of such a closure and what are the rights of the parishioners? What consequences are suffered by the existing parishioners? Is there an outlined protocol for the suppression of a parish? Is there a followup with the parishioners who are left behind after the closure takes place?

Under canon law, the bishop has full authority to erect or suppress a parish. When a parish is created, land titles and ownership of all assets are ultimately given to the diocese.

In reality, the parishioners who donated the land and built, maintained and preserved these historic church buildings and cemeteries for more than a century do not have legal ownership.

The electricity is turned off and the doors are permanently locked when the churches are closed. There is usually little dialogue between parishioners and the diocese, and little information is provided. No written protocol is available.

Financial accounts, documents, assets and responsibilities are transferred to the neighbouring parish, which creates a merger of the two parishes.

Liturgical objects and vestments are transported to the guardian par-

ish with no inventory taken. Cemetery grounds are sometimes maintained by local volunteer residents or left to the neighbouring parish, which may take on the responsibility.

A community committee may be able to buy the former parish buildings and land from the diocese for a nominal fee, except for the cemetery grounds, which are retained by the diocese. Such ventures have given rise to community buildings housing museums and archive centres throughout the area.

The missions or parishes of Arondale, Bissett, Ladywood, Gretna, Sainte-Geneviève, Sainte Elisabeth, Saint Lupicin, Aubigny, Richer, Tolstoy, Vita, Sprague, Sainte Rita, Ross have been closed in the past 40 years, and Whitemouth is now being suppressed.

Still others, such as Woodridge and Saint Labre, have priests that either alternate every second Sunday for Eucharistic celebration or serve two parishes, as in the cases of Anola and Beausejour.

When canonical suppression is imminent, should the diocese and parishioners not discuss the procedures and negotiate a plan of action that recognizes the uniqueness and needs of the parish or committee in a respectful and collaborative manner?

We, as devoted parishioners, need to be informed and question the hierarchal, autocratic power and protocol that is sometimes unjust and overbearing.

We need to arise and take a proactive approach. We must not only be responsible for our spiritual wellbeing but also care for our financial assets.

Suppressed and active parishes have the right to be heard and understood. Suppressed parishes are not only buildings and cemetery grounds but represent many generations who remain as the guardians of the spiritual legacy of our ancestors.

Let justice be heard and let’s restore the property and possessions to their rightful owner, the parishioners.

CWB | MONOPOLY PHILOSOPHY

Will wheat board politics hinder industry progress?

HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

he CWB monopoly may be long gone, but the issue is still dividing farmers and impeding progress on a bunch of other issues.

The greatest evidence is the new Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission. Voter participation in last year’s mail-in ballot was meagre, but the farmers who did vote in the inaugural election chose a list of directors almost entirely composed of rabid monopoly supporters, disciples of the National Farmers Union.

Farmers, like the rest of the population, have viewpoints across the range of the political spectrum. This range of opinions is evident on the

boards of many levy deducting organizations, but common sense prevails and the boards are productive.

In the current political environment, government-funded variety development is being curtailed and even eliminated, plant breeders’ rights are being strengthened and the private sector is gearing up to take the lead. These are not happy times for the left wing crowd.

The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission is supposed to spend levy dollars on wise research and market development projects. It is not supposed to seek ways to thwart government direction or turn back the clock in an effort to recreate some sort of CWB monopoly.

The commission was all but invisible at last week’s Canadian Global Crops Symposium and industrygovernment Grains Roundtable in Winnipeg, save for private conversations where the other participants would gather and shake their heads.

The symposium was organized by the Canada Grains Council, which includes farm organizations, grain companies, crop input manufactur-

ers and the railways. A large contingent of farmers was in attendance, representing groups from Alberta to Atlantic Canada. A few farmers even paid to attend and represent their own businesses.

Perhaps the gathering was too probusiness or too insensitive to the loss of the monopoly for the wheat commission to send representatives. At the ver y least, the commission should have had a seat at the Grains Roundtable later in the week, which dealt with a range of topics including UPOV 91 and research funding.

The Alberta Wheat Commission was well represented with both farmer directors and staff in attendance.

In Manitoba, wheat and barley are being organized into one commission, and prominent producers are serving on an interim board. Those producers could be readily identified at last week’s Winnipeg events.

To be fair, the Saskatchewan commission probably has other things to worry about, not the least of which is choosing a new general manager.

The government-appointed, pro-

business, interim board had hired Tom Steve, who was a good fit with the interim board but not with the pro-monopoly crowd that farmers elected. His recently announced departure isn’t a big surprise.

Steve has been serving both the wheat commission and the new Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission. Barley and wheat have now decided to go their separate ways. Barley is looking for its own executive director and will operate from a different office.

Unlike wheat, the barley commission has farmer directors with a range of philosophies, which is a healthy mix for decision making. It appears they no longer want to be so closely tied to their wheat comrades.

Maybe the worry is for naught and the wheat commission will end up making balanced funding decisions and stay largely out of the politics. I hope so, but the track record to date doesn’t look promising.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

JOANNE PAULSON, EDITOR

Kelsey Johnson will write weekly column as well as online stories and blog

I

first heard about Kelsey Johnson from Barry Wilson. When Barry has high praise for someone, you should listen. So I did.

Kelsey is the new bright light on Parliament Hill. She is a rare Ottawa journalist with fire in the belly for agriculture, and I really, really wanted her in the pages of The Western Producer.

When Barry’s retirement party took me out to Ottawa, there she was. I met her face to face at the party, and then again the next day at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting.

I was impressed. Here was a young journalist with the writing skills, the analytic smarts, the curiosity and touch of cynicism we jaded editors look for, and rejoice in.

But she has a couple of extra things going on.

For one, considering her relatively young career, Kelsey has an instinct for how to cover news. She knows when to use social media, and many western farmers follow her every word when she is tweeting live from an ag committee meeting. As well, she knows when to hold back on a scoop and when to speed something onto a website. That sure-footedness is just remarkable.

Kelsey also appears to be fearless.

Sometimes you have to really persuade young journalists to get out there, to pick up the phone, to dig out the answers. It seems to come naturally to Kelsey.

So, I called her editor. James Baxter, editor and publisher of iPolitics.ca, is an incredibly generous and intelligent human being. When I told him we wanted Kelsey, too, he agreed. There was no mucking around, just “sure.”

It took us a while to hammer out the details, but you can see the results on the opposite page. Kelsey is now writing a column for us. You will also see some of her stories and her blog on our website, once we iron out the technicalities.

Kelsey graduated from Carleton University’s School of Journalism not long ago, with highest honours.

James hired her before she had the scroll in hand.

Kelsey hails from Alberta, and as her bio says, she “credits her western roots for sparking her interest in all things related to the Canadian agriculture industry.”

We are pretty glad that spark happened. Welcome to page 10, Kelsey. I hope you will be happy there.

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

We don’t have to romanticize the pre-2011 wheat board, the real Canadian Wheat Board. All we have to do is look at the facts.

When the real CWB was in place, farmers received about 85 percent of the value of the grain sales. Only 15 percent of the total sale was used to cover all of the handling, freight, overhead, risk and other expenses. Eightyfive percent back to farmers — that’s where the real CWB set the bar.

Over the past couple of months, some grain has been sold for over $11 per bushel, with less than half of that

making its way back to the farmer — 45 percent. And the railways are only taking about the same share as they usually do. The railways always have a lot to answer for, but they are currently being scapegoated by the federal government.

Make no mistake, this is a marketing problem. Governments that would work with the CWB (pre-2006) fully understood the potential of the current marketing nightmare.

Since 2006, though, the (prime minister Stephen) Harper government refused to let farmers vote, refused to hold public hearings, refused to let the (House of Commons’) agriculture committee or the transportation committee hold hear-

ings on the proposed legislation, and refused to hear from anyone that actually understood western transportation issues.

After lost sales are included, along with grain companies pocketing an extra 40 percent from a bushel of wheat, some are saying this is a $5 billion loss to Canada and its farmers in just this year alone.

Reckless is as reckless does. A series of reckless policy changes by the Harper government — destroying the CWB, undermining the Canadian Grain Commission, decimating public variety development, weakening varietal registration, charging farmers more for seed by increasing plant breeder powers, and tearing

NO SIMILARITIES To the Editor: The terms Canadian Wheat Board and CWB have been synonymous for 75 years.

CWB was a recognized brand name around the world signifying a consistent and reliable supplier of high quality grain which added value for farmers. (Agriculture minister Gerry) Ritz took that all away.

Without far mer approval, he destroyed the single desk CWB and confiscated all the assets that belonged to farmers.

He then grabbed the money from the farmers’ CWB contingency fund, added taxpayers’ money to the mix and created what is best described as the “Gerry Ritz Grain Company.” He invariably calls his new grain company the “cwb,” which sounds and looks a lot like CWB. This identical acronym is not a coincidence. Ritz has steadfastly insisted that the CWB is still there for those farmers that want to use his “cwb.” He has fooled the public, but farmers see through his charade.

He has even been trying to convince the courts that the CWB has not been destroyed, which is crucial to his smokescreen defence in the lawsuits.

The fact is, only the real CWB added value. Its brand earned premiums for farmers on grain sales. It defended farmers against railway abuses. Its integrity and reliability was recognized worldwide. It added efficiency to grain handling and transportation.

It advocated for farmers. All profits went back to farmers.

That is all gone now. The Gerry Ritz Grain Company, called “cwb,” does none of the above. It does not add value for farmers. Ritz’s “cwb” is not the real CWB because it is just a grain company.

So really, the CWB no longer exists.

If Ritz were being honest he would stop calling his new grain company the “cwb” because it’s not even remotely similar to what he took away from farmers.

BILL C-30 WORKS To the Editor: Recognizing the rail logistics challenges facing all shippers across the Prairies, our government took needed and appropriate action.

Two weeks ago, our government tabled legislation (Bill C-30) that will improve rail logistics for all commodities.

Bill C-30 will expand oversight of grain movements by requiring additional, more timely and accurate data from the railways to increase the transparency of railway, port and terminal performance across the supply chain, corridor by corridor.

This bill will also mandate grain volume requirements at a minimum of one million metric tonnes per week. While some groups have arbi-

OPINION trarily called for a higher figure, our government is taking the responsible, rational approach. The one million metric tonnes figure will ensure a record volume of grain is moved while not hampering the flow of other commodities. Our government understands that a strong Canadian economy relies on timely rail service for all commodities.

Should the railways not meet this ambitious but achievable target, they face fines of up to $100,000 a day. While some have called for larger fines, the reality is that fines don’t move grain. Our government believes a well-functioning rail logistics system will serve Canada’s economy far better than collecting fines.

Bill C-30 will also increase the interswitching distances from 30 kilometres to 160 km for all commodities on the Prairies, allowing for practical access to more than one railway to 150

prairie grain elevators, compared to just 14 with that access today.

This legislation will amend the Canada Grain Act to strengthen delivery contracts between producers and elevators. This bill will also add greater clarity to Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as requested by all shippers across Canada.

Based on feedback at numerous roundtables across the Prairies and at parliamentary committee, this bill now includes the ability for the Canadian Transportation Agency to order compensation from railways to shippers for failure to meet service standards as outlined in SLAs. We are also expediting the review of the Canada Transportation Act with an early focus on rail transportation.

Our efforts will continue to concentrate on improving logistics across the supply chain for all commodities.

Our economy needs a system that

Five-year-old Tommy and twoyear-old Nathan helped me collect worms from the garden and the sidewalk on rainy mornings.

Later that summer, the boys’ mother asked if I knew that the family was being transferred out of the community. “I thought not,� she replied when I shook my head. “Tommy is upset and doesn’t want to talk about it. Would you see what you can do to help him?� “I just thought I’d mention,� I told the boys the next day. “You’ve been such a help, I don’t think I could take care of this worm farm without you.�

It took a few more days of hinting and suggesting before Tommy asked, “what would happen if you couldn’t take care of things?� “Probably it would be best to put them back in the garden.�

That’s when the tears flowed as words and hugs were exchanged. We dug a trench so our little buddies could be released to make worm condos.

Just before the family moved, the little one and I dug potatoes for their supper. Believe it or not, we’d gotten to know our crawlers so well that Nathan spotted “The King.� Worms can become pets.

EU wheat survives dry spell Agricultural drones More rain needed | Soft wheat crop expected to increase two percent HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — Wheat crops in the European Union’s top four producing countries have survived a dry start to the spring, but more rain is still needed, traders and analysts said.

“The outlook is overall positive for the new crop this year, and good export supplies are nearing,” one German trader said.

French analyst Strategie Grains forecast the EU’s 2014 soft wheat crop will rise two percent or 2.1 million tonnes on the year to 137.2 million tonnes.

“Crops are weeks in advance of their normal growth stage at this time of year in several countries because of the mild winter,” another trader said. “Recent rain was just about enough to prevent major damage after dr yness in early spring, but more rain is urgently needed in coming weeks.”

In France, the largest EU wheat producer, the 2014 harvest will be 36.71 million tonnes, hardly changed from last year’s 36.75 million tonnes, Strategie Grains forecast.

Some wheat, mainly in eastern

France, is starting to feel the impact of several weeks of dryness, but good water reserves thanks to a wet winter and forecasts for rain next week could limit the damage.

Some 10 percent of winter crops have been hit by dry weather, said Pascal Prot, the head of Vivescia, one of one of France’s largest grain cooperatives.

“We need rain,” he added.

In Germany, the second-largest producer, a slightly smaller crop is expected, but recent rain helped crops after a prolonged dry period.

tested in United States

The test in North Dakota will use a tiny helicopter to check soil quality and the status of crops WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The first of six test sites chosen to perform unmanned aircraft systems research will start flight operations during the week of May 5, says the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

The site in North Dakota will begin using a Draganflyer X4ES small UAS, which is essentially a tiny helicopter, with the initial goal to aid agricultural research, includ-

ing checking soil quality and the status of crops.

Precision agriculture is one of many industries that are thought to represent areas for significant econ o m i c o p p o r t u n i t y f o r d ro n e flights.

The North Dakota site will also collect operational data on safety and maintenance issues related to drones as the FAA works toward integrating the unmanned craft into the national airspace over the next several years.

Flights in North Dakota will get under way more than two months ahead of a deadline specified by Congress to start the drone research program. The tests are slated to continue for two years.

“These data will lay the groundwork for reducing risks and ensuring continued safe operations of UAS,” FAA administrator Michael Huerta said.

Other test sites, chosen from 25 applicants, are in Alaska, Nevada, New York, Texas and Virginia.

BERLIN (Reuters) — Germany’s federal states, which oppose the cultivation of genetically modified crops, voted earlier this month to urge the national government to seek an opt-out clause for individual European Union states.

The EU has the power to approve GM crops for Europe-wide cultivation but is moving toward an opt-out policy that would allow individual countries to ban GM crops.

Germany’s national government has blocked this till now, alongside Britain, France and Belgium, because of internal divisions over GM policy.

In a separate vote in February, 19 of 28 EU countries voted against granting approval for the cultivation of a GM corn variety, Pioneer 1507, developed by DuPont and Dow Chemical.

However, that was not enough to reject the crop under the bloc’s weighted voting system, leaving the way open for the European Commission to clear it.

Germany abstained from that vote.

The issue of GM crops has divided G ermany’s right-left coalition between Angela Merkel’s conservatives and the Social Democrats.

Merkel’s Christian Democrats favour GMOs, but the Christian Social Union and the SPD oppose biotechnology crops.

GM crops are widely grown in the Americas and Asia, but they are generally unpopular in Europe, where public opposition is strong and environmentalists have raised concerns about the impact on biodiversity.

LIVESTOCK | GROWING HEALTH PROBLEM

Pneumonia now a key concern in calf health Cause isn’t known | Pneumonia is a leading cause of sickness and death in the North American cattle industry

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA, Neb. — Pneumonia is one of the key health problems facing young calves in Canada and the United States.

“Respiratory disease is now a big deal and we have to do something about calves that have BRD,” said epidemiologist David Smith from Mississippi State University’s veterinary college.

It is hard to know if bovine respiratory disease is an emerging problem or whether producers and their veterinarians are just more aware of it, he told the National Institute for Animal Agriculture convention held in Omaha April 1-4.

“There may be emergence of a novel agent, something that has gained a new set of virulence factors,” he said.

“It might be an agent that we thought we had control and now it is not controlled. Bovine tuberculosis is an example of that.”

He said pneumonia is a leading cause of sickness and death and probably costs the U.S. beef industry $200 million a year.

Research shows sickness occurs at different stages of a calf’s life.

Calves that get sick before 20 days of age do so because they did not receive adequate colostrum. Those in the 70 to 100 day range may have sickened because the maternal antibodies wore off and their vaccines had not kicked in.

Canadian producers are experiencing similar outbreaks, but prevalence is hard to measure, said Dr. John Campbell of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon.

As well, sick calves may also be afflicted with viral and bacterial infections.

“It is usually a mixed bag,” Campbell said in an interview. “By the time they die they have bacterial infections, but it probably starts as a pure viral infection and then gets secondary bacterial infections.”

Scours was once considered the plague of young calves, but poor immunity means any number of diseases can happen under the right circumstances.

Campbell said the key is making sure newborns receive adequate colostrum from their mothers, and new research is showing early vaccination does not cancel out the benefits of maternal antibodies.

A number of products on the market work well, and more producers are using intranasal vaccines that give local immunity to young calves.

Boosters are required, which means calves that were vaccinated early in life should receive another dose when they enter the pasture and perhaps again at weaning. Time between shots depends on the product, he added.

They should be better protected in theory, but scientists are not sure how much immunity these calves have. There is no firm evidence to show that calves that were ill on the farm continue to be sickly once they go to the feedlot.

Three or four pathogens are commonly associated with BRD in calves. Cows may carry them in their

It is unknown if pneumonia is increasing or if veterinarians are just more aware of it. | nasal cavities, and calves with poor immunity may get sick.

“Cows have those viruses and bacteria in their systems and even normal calves will have those viruses, but if we stress them or they have poor immunity, we can create respiratory disease outbreaks,” Campbell said.

Smith said management can contribute to sickness.

Cold, wet, unpredictable weather can stress youngsters and allow the ever present viruses and bacteria to catch up with them.

Some blame supplemental feed, which encourages calves to huddle around and stick their noses in the creep feeder and share germs.

“It is not the creep feed. It is the system that allows the calves to get together,” Smith said.

Others have reported that more calves seem to get sick when cows were estrus synchronized for artificial insemination.

It is stressful for calves to be separated from their mothers and commingle with strangers, which probably leads to more sickness during breeding.

“All these management practices that we would consider are components of the cause,” he said.

Building herd immunity is another way to protect young calves. This is done by protecting the majority of the population and keeping the pathogen from spreading within the group.

Vaccination achieves some level of herd immunity because all the cattle get sick when the group is suddenly susceptible.

Smith said a study of more than 5,000 calf records showed bulls are more likely to get respiratory disease than heifers and steers.

Also, a two-year-old heifer with its first calf is more at risk than a mature cow that knows how to get the baby up and nursing right away to get a good dose of colostrum.

Ag trade delegation visit to South Korea, Japan nets deals in wheat, pork, seafood

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and more than 30 agricultural associations and companies have completed a trade mission to South Korea and Japan to build upon recent trade negotiations.

The Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement negotiations concluded in March, and the trade trip included meetings with key importers. It also included a cooking demonstration and a venue for exporters to meet with importers.

According to a news release, the

trip resulted in commitments to increased sales of wheat, pork and processed foods to Korea.

In Japan, Ritz met with the agriculture minister Yoshimasa Hayashi to discuss progress of the Canada-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

He assured Hayashi and importers that Canada was working to fix transportation issues and timely grain exports.

Both countries are key markets for Canada.

Exports of agri-food products and seafood to Korea are worth an average $691 million per year, and Cana-

da is that country’s 12th largest supplier of such products.

Canada is Japan’s third largest supplier, with exports of $4.1 billion in 2013. Trade negotiations continued last month with a fifth round of talks.

Ritz said the government is happy to help agricultural exporters secure ties to importers in the two Asian markets.

“With the recent conclusion of negotiations towards a CanadaKorea free trade agreement, our visit successfully set the stage for our exporters looking to increase their competitiveness in this lucrative market,” Ritz said.

“Give us the signal,” CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer Jean-Jacques Ruest told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium April 16.

“Give us the signal early.”

Ruest said CN relies on government bodies such as Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada to give it the heads up on the size of both current and future crops.

He said the railroads’ flat-footedness in dealing with last year’s suddenly larger prairie crop was mostly due to the complete surprise everyone had with its true size, which was first predicted to be 60 million tonnes.

Ruest said being 17 million tonnes off target left railways and transportation systems unprepared to handle much more than the 60 million tonnes or less that were produced in the years immediately preceding 2013.

“For us to size up those asset capacities and what we need to do, we need to get a signal from somewhere and we look by and large for the signal to come from Agriculture and AgriFood Canada,” said Ruest.

As a farmer, I expect… i 10-section automatic overlap control that saves money by eliminating double seed and fertilizer application.

“When you miss it by that much, it’s very difficult to catch up.”

The massive size of last year’s crop was a shock to everyone in the prairie grain industry, with the first solid signs of a bigger-than-expected crop appearing in late August.

However, those signs were late coming because the prairie crop was generally delayed by the late spring and cool summer growing conditions.

Ruest said in an interview during the conference that CN is now attempting to assess whether last year’s incorrect estimate was just an aberration or the sign of things to come.

“Maybe what happened last winter was a one-time miss in the forecast,” said Ruest.

“In years past, (official forecasts have) been OK, (but) we are in a time when things are changing.”

Ruest said grain companies have offered to provide CN with their own private information to help it better assess the size of coming crops, but added they are restrained by commercial concerns with internal information.

He said CN relies heavily on Agriculture Canada and Statistics Canada.

“I’d like them to be as good as they can be,” said Ruest.

PRODUCER SECURITY PROGRAM | PAYMENT PROTECTION

Insurance-based program for grain firms still in works

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Work is continuing on a new producer security program aimed at protecting farmers from insolvent grain companies.

The Canadian Grain Commission said earlier this month that it is still hammering out details of the program but it is not clear when it will be implemented.

The commission has been working for months on an insurance-based program to replace the current bondbased system.

“We had hoped to have … that new program in (place) in early 2014,” assistant commissioner Jim Smolik recently told grain producers in Nipawin, Sask. “Obviously that didn’t happen. It certainly has been a little bit more complicated than we first envisioned.”

The producer security program is intended to protect farmers against financial losses that arise when a grain company is unable to pay for grain

that has already been delivered.

The new system will be an insurance-based program that requires licensed grain companies to pay insurance premiums, Smolik said.

The existing bond-based system requires grain companies to post bonds or other financial guarantees to ensure that their outstanding debts to producers are covered in the event of a financial meltdown.

The system will assess the risk profile of individual grain companies and determine premiums accordingly. Companies with acceptable risk profiles would be endorsed for coverage under a master policy that provides coverage up to $100 million.

The commission is currently conducting risk assessments.

Atradius, which is providing the coverage, will determine the premiums.

Grain companies with higher risk profiles, poor histories, large grain handling volumes or limited track records in the grain industry can expect to pay higher premiums.

Atradius is based in Amsterdam but has offices in 45 countries.

Smolik said details of the new security program are still being worked out, but producers can ex-pect a program that offers comparable coverage at a lower cost.

Producers who are owed money will likely be covered for 45 days from the date of delivery, down from 90 days under the current bond-based system.

The decision to shorten the claim period was aimed at keeping premiums low while still maintaining a reasonable level of protection for producers.

Coverage for eligible deliveries will be capped at 95 percent, with the remaining five percent retained as a deductible.

Smolik said the commission will act as the producer’s beneficiary.

“If an entity or grain company fails to pay you or goes into receivership, and if you are an eligible claimant, then you will send that information into us, we will do our due diligence

… and will then pass that information on to the insurance company,” he said.

Payments on eligible claims will be submitted first to the commission and then forwarded to affected producers.

Licensed grain companies will be listed on the commission’s website.

Smolik said the new system will be easier and less expensive to administer than the existing bond-based system.

The current system requires grain companies to submit monthly liability reports to the commission to ensure that the financial guarantees put in place are large enough to cover current liabilities to farmers.

In some cases, coverage has been well below potential liabilities.

For example, the near collapse of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool a few years ago could have resulted in huge producer losses, potentially in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Switching to the proposed insurance-based system will also free up

significant amounts of grain industry capital that are now tied up as collateral.

“In our current security program … we’re holding about $1 billion right now, whether it’s letters of credit or bonds … or whatever type of instrument the companies are using,” Smolik said.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has instructed the grain commission to ensure that feed mills and feed buyers are covered under the new system.

Insolvencies at high profile feed companies, including Puratone, have highlighted the need for better coverage in the feed grain sector.

The grain commission will likely have to determine whether all feed buyers, including small privately owned feedlots and Hutterite colonies, are required to take part in the insurance-based program.

“The minister has asked us to look into that,” Smolik said. “As you know, the issue is going to be, where do you draw the line?”

Torch River Rail set to load from $1 million facility The short-line chair says cars can be loaded in half the time

www.fmccrop.ca

A short-line railway in northeastern Saskatchewan is putting the finishing touches on a car loading facility that can store 56,000 bushels of grain.

It is enough to load 16 hopper cars at a time.

The $1 million dollar facility at

Choiceland, Sask., includes four 14,000 bushel steel storage bins, a 30-metre scale and two legs that will allow it to receive and elevate grain while rail cars are being loaded.

Torch River Rail chair Ron Shymanski said the new facility should be ready to receive its first load of grain this month.

The new loading site will nearly

double the short-line’s existing storage capacity.

“It was a fairly easy decision for us to make in that we were getting a lot of commitment from producers,” said Shymanski.

“We were confident that our volumes were going to be sufficient to support this … and we were in a fairly good cash position when we started.… Right now, we’re looking forward to getting it going and making use of it.”

Torch River Rail is one of 13 shortline railway companies in Saskatchewan. It operates 45 kilometres of track between Nipawin and Choiceland.

Local investors acquired the line in late 2007 after Canadian Pacific Railway announced its intention to discontinue operations on the line.

After several failed attempts to negotiate a deal, a group of 46 shareholders comprising farmers and local governments from Nipawin, Choiceland, White Fox and the Rural Municipality of Torch River raised enough capital to buy the line and equipment for $1.2 million.

The company shipped its first grain train in July 2008.

Since then, shipments have been increasing steadily.

TRR’s initial business plan suggested the company would need to ship 150 to 200 cars per year to stay afloat.

Last year, the company shipped nearly 600 cars, delivering locally produced crops to a core of major buyers including Quaker, CWB, Bunge and The Andersons Inc., an American grain merchant in Ohio.

Torch River shipments in the 201314 crop year were on track to set a record, but car supply has been an ongoing challenge.

Shymanski said the new loading facility will allow the short line to ship grain more quickly and efficiently.

“We should be able to do the same amount of work in half the time or less,” he said.

“But we are still dependent on producers choosing to ship through us and hopefully, they will continue to support us as they have in the past.”

Plans to build the new facility started two years ago and construction began early last year.

The company initially loaded hopper cars with a grain auger, but it eventually built an eight-car loading facility with 30,000 bu. of storage and a short-axle scale.

“We had eight cars of storage in that facility, but there were many train runs where we put 14 cars through it in a day and a half,” Shymanski said.

“The big terminals talk about having to turn (terminal capacity) 10 times to make it pay. In the first year, we turned (ours) 16 times.”

Supply agreements with large buyers have assured grain volumes at TRR and added financial stability.

“We stress the fact that we are a railroad … but we also connect the local growers with buyers and it certainly has opened up markets for our local people,” Shymanski said.

HEALTH | MEDICARE

Bad medicine

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It’s the apology tour.

Wendell Potter, former head of communications for one of the largest health insurance companies in the United States, is telling Canadians he deliberately misled Americans about the Canadian health system to protect the U.S. status quo.

Potter was part of an April 14 stop in Lethbridge on the National Medicare Tour co-ordinated by the Canadian Health Coalition.

As a communicator first for medical insurance company Humana and then for Cigna, Potter said misleading Americans was key to a strategy that protected company profits.

“We felt that if more Americans really did understand the Canadian system, they’d want what Canadians have and that would mean that the private insurance companies, over time, just would go out of business.

“I’m doing what I’m doing on this tour as somewhat of a tour of apology and making amends,” he said in an interview before his speech.

Potter said he is aware of suggestions in Canada that a more privatized health system would improve quality of care or reduce costs and waiting times. But in his view, that is a sure way to escalate costs.

“Don’t fall for that,” he said. “There’s this misunderstanding about how the so-called free market works in health

WENDELL POTTER CHC SPEAKER

care and it works, quite frankly, just the opposite of the way it works in most sectors of the economy.”

He said U.S. hospitals, which operate in the free market, spend millions on advertising to attract patients and duplicate ser vices in efforts to increase their market share. The result is a virtual “arms race” among health-care facilities.

Along with that, health insurance companies focus on shareholder returns rather than patient care.

When he entered the health insurance business, Potter said he believed companies could control medical costs and improve access.

But the opposite occurred.

“I’m also here to disabuse folks of the notion that the free market, the private sector, can work wonders in health care. I know from experience that it is not a silver bullet but it can be a bullet that can really do a great deal of damage to the health-care system, because the free market does not work in health care like it does in

other sectors of the economy. It actually operates the exact opposite.”

Michael McBane, CHC national coordinator, said the Canadian system is under threat particularly since the March 31 expiry of the national health accord.

The federal government’s apparent plans to withdraw leadership and give more health-care responsibilities to provinces will damage the system, he said.

“We’re really worried with the withdrawal of federal leadership in health care that we’ll see the system further fragment into basically 13 different pieces.”

Though some rural residents may think health-care service is poor, McBane said they should consider the alternatives.

“They don’t know what’s coming yet. They don’t know how good they have it if they think it’s bad now. It’s going to get a lot worse if we lose the federal government, we lose national standards, if we lose co-operation and co-ordination of care.”

The CHC is advocating for a national drug plan that would provide coverage for a wider range of drugs. Such a plan would allow bulk purchasing that would reduce costs by billions of dollars, said McBane.

Additionally, the CHS wants a national home-care plan and federal government commitment to cover 25 percent of national health-care costs.

“We have time to change the direction. We either get the government

to change course, or we change governments.”

McBane told the meeting that health-care system changes proposed by the federal government are slated to be implemented only after the next election.

“Quite frankly, politicians are afraid to be seen to be attacking medicare, so they do it by stealth.

“They are making decisions which, over the long haul, will threaten our access to universal quality health care, regardless of where we live and regardless of our ability to pay.”

In a question and answer period, L e t h b r i d g e a re a re s i d e n t B e v Muendel-Atherstone commended Potter for his apology, noting a member of her family who lives in California had “drunk the Kool-Aid” and now believes Canada’s system is in chaos.

Same active as:

Potter said his apology is based on a “crisis of conscience” experienced when he visited a Tennessee “healthcare expedition” at which Americans lined up by the thousands, in pouring rain, to get free care from doctors, nurses and dentists who volunteered their time over one weekend.

“I made a pledge that day that I would have to figure out some other way to earn a living because I knew what I was doing was not right.”

He recalled market research designed to persuade Americans against massive health-care system changes, among them the oft-repeated “slippery slope toward socialism” campaign.

“We knew how to craft very brief phrases like that, to scare the bejesus out of them. And it worked. Many Americans just have no idea what your system is like, except what people like me told them.”

Potter said he and his insurance company colleagues got many of their talking points from the Vancouverbased Fraser Institute think-tank.

Changes to the U.S. health-care system, dubbed Obamacare, represent “the end of the beginning” of positive changes to the system, said Potter.

Now insurance companies can no longer charge more to cover the sick, or cancel existing coverage when people become sick. Recent studies show average medical care premiums for an American family are $16,351.

“Who has that kind of money?” he asked.

Oats: fibre-filled superfood

DOROTHY SANDERCOCK

M

y dad starts every day with a bowl of oatmeal.

I used to think it boring but now I have begrudgingly come to realize there is a lot of wisdom in his actions.

Oats are a superfood because of the fibre content. As a whole grain, oats are high in both insoluble and soluble fibre and both are needed for a healthy diet.

Insoluble fibre is the bulky fibre found in vegetables, bran and whole grains like oats. It helps prevent constipation.

Soluble fibre is the sticky fibre found in pulses, nuts, flax, barley and oats that helps lower blood cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease.

Oats have also been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels and promote a healthy blood pressure. They are also an excellent source of iron and a good source of plant protein.

Confirming oats superfood status is a health claim from Health Canada based on research findings that the soluble fibre in oats called beta glucan helps reduce cholesterol.

Beta glucan is found in all cereal grains but is particularly rich in oats and barley.

For those with celiac disease, oats are naturally gluten free.

However, they are often harvested and processed using the same equipment as gluten containing grains like wheat, barley and rye.

There are now several farmers and processors that are implementing practices to ensure cross-contamination with cereals containing gluten does not occur.

These pure oats are safe for most people following a gluten free diet, providing dietary fibre, B vitamins and iron, which are often hard to get on this diet.

Oat groat: It is the whole oat grain with the hull removed.

I think oat groats conjure visions of bowls of gruel served on dark wintery days and that the term should be changed to oat pearls. Oat pearls are great in salads and pilafs.

Steel cut oats: They are made by cutting oat groats into two or three pieces using a sharp steel blade. Steel cut oats have risen in popularity.

They take longer to cook than rolled oats and have a fuller flavour and texture than rolled oats.

Rolled oats or old-fashioned oats: They are made by steaming whole oat groats and then rolling them. This process shortens cooking time compared to steel cut oats.

Quick oats or oat flakes: They are made by steaming and rolling steel cut oats. They are considered the least healthy of the oatmeal family but are made from the whole oat. They are simply processed into smaller pieces to shorten the cooking time.

Oat flour and oat bran: This is made from grinding oat pearls. The resulting flour is then sold as whole oat flour or it can be further refined by sieving out the oat bran. The bran is sold separately and the flour without the bran is sold as oat flour. Pure oat flour is often used in gluten free baking.

It pays to Help son with grieving over death of companion listen to SPEAKING OF LIFE A: your PETS | LOSS AND GRIEVING

What do you think?

AIR SEEDER.

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Last year, my husband and I bought a puppy for our sixyear-old son. The two became inseparable, especially these past couple of months.

Unfortunately the dog died last week. It was one of those freak accidents. Our son is devastated. He has been crying, moping around the house and not interested in doing much of anything. This is breaking my heart. I would like to get another dog to help our boy settle down.

My husband is less inclined to do that. He says that we should let the boy work his way through this sad moment. That seems cruel.

Sometimes roughing it out on the field of emotions can seem cruel. The problem is that I am not sure that you can get around it. Buying another dog to replace the pooch that was the love of his life will not necessarily ease the pain.

Pets give our children opportunities to learn about the responsibility of caring for others, provide kids with emotional attachments not to be duplicated elsewhere and teach all of us about the miracle of commitment.

Sometimes they teach us that the hurt felt in the face of our own mortality is perfectly acceptable.

It brings neither shame nor guilt and is perhaps the greatest gift puppies can bring into our homes.

EAR, EYE DROPS | APPLICATION

Administering eye, ear drops HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I have been told several different ways of putting eye drops into the eyes. Some people say the inner corner and others say the outer corner. Also, which is the best way to use ear drops so they get into the ear without getting them all over you?

COOKING CONTEST | AMATEUR, HOME COOKS

Youth whip up local food dishes TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

T

he popularity of reality cooking shows is spilling over into locally produced events. At the Sunshine Skillet cooking contest in Medicine Hat, Alta., amateurs and home cooks were judged against each other.

That’s a great time to showcase locally produced food. The secret ingredient box included bison rouladen, berry wine, honey mead and brassica mustard.

TV cooking shows have existed since the 1940s. They seem to be timeless and tap into our desire to experience good food without breaking the bank.

Today the focus is on local, nutri-

tious and ethical food.

Growing up on a Saskatchewan farm, I was rapt by The Galloping Gourmet. Chef Graham Kerr made cooking interesting while Madame Jehane Benoit was a food icon and showed us how to cook with the microwave oven.

In 1973, she became an Officer of the Order of Canada for her contributions.

I am heartened to find youth equally passionate about food and cooking. In the Sunshine Skillet competition, there were two male high school students competing against seasoned home cooks.

Kenaniah Schnare, 16, loves to cook and is currently enrolled in cooking classes at his school.

He received a mystery box in the competition that contained a brined and lightly smoked pork chop, local barbecue sauce and microgreens.

“The microgreens were new but they looked like they would work in a salad,” he said.

In Round 4, Grade 9 student Billy Smith competed. The night before the competition he was so worried

that fish, his least favourite food, might be in the mystery box that he and his mentor, Grandpa Bruce, made fish.

Instead of fish, Smith received quick cooking barley, lamb sausage and honey mead. Unfortunately time ran out before he could finish getting his creations on the plate.

“When I realized the potatoes wouldn’t be done in time, I just took them off and got on with the lamb meatballs. I have never seen barley before and I just thought, oh this isn’t going to be good, and just put them on the plate anyway,” he said.

Another boy who hopes to compete next year said he prefers the adult competition to the children’s one because it involved cooking from scratch, not just from packages.

Medicine Hat could be on to something with this event.

There are several ways of inserting eye drops, so I am not surprised that you are confused.

First, make sure you follow the doctor’s orders as to how often and how many drops you need.

Let your doctor know if you have allergies or are taking other medications because some may disagree with eye drops.

Wash your hands before using them. Try not to let the eye dropper touch your eye or any part of your skin because the dropper bottle could get contaminated and bacteria or viruses could grow in the liquid.

The easiest way is to tilt your head back, gently pull back the lower lid and drop the liquid into the pocket made by that lid.

Doctors sometimes use another method, which is a more effective way of covering the whole eye with the medicated liquid. It is easier to perform the task on another person than yourself.

Tilt the head back and away from the side you are working on.

Approach the person’s eye from the side so he does not automatically blink.

With one hand, pull the upper lid taught, and with the other hand, insert the drops into the upper, outer corner of the eye.

When the person straightens his head again, the drops will roll across

Keep the dropper from touching your eye as you tilt your head back and drop in the liquid. | FILE PHOTO the eye from one corner to the other, covering the whole eye.

With either method, the patient should keep the eye or eyes closed for two or three minutes afterward.

Some people also gently press on the inside corner of their closed eye during that time period to keep the drops from draining into the throat too quickly.

Ear drops are much easier to use.

Pull the top of your ear upward and outward before inserting drops. This straightens out the ear canal and helps drops get inside without having to negotiate a bend.

Tip your head to one side or lie on your side so that the affected ear is facing upward. Hold the bottle or dropper over the ear opening and gently squeeze the correct number of drops into your ear.

Hold the position for a minute or two to allow the drops to spread into the right place. Certain ear drops are not recommended if you have perforated ear drums.

Do not keep prescription eye or ear drops once you have finished the course of treatment. Once the bottles are opened, they do not stay fresh for long. Eyedrops available on store shelves have an expiry date.

AG PROMOTION | CONSUMER RELATIONS

Farmers told to share stories, not preach Don’t set out to educate | Tell consumers about farming methods and reasons for on-farm decisions: consultant

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

WETASKIWIN, Alta. — Forget about preaching to consumers about great farm products.

Instead, farmers should invite consumers to pull up a chair and sit at the kitchen table and tell them their story.

Nobody likes being lectured to, but everyone likes a good story, said Kim McConnell, founder of AdFarm, an agricultural marketing company.

“Let’s not be in the educating busi-

ness, let’s be in the story business,” said McConnell.

The industry is often under fire for using pesticides or genetically modified crops, and McConnell said it’s time producers started talking openly about why they make the decisions they do.

“Take the opportunities to start telling stories about the life you live,” he said during an ag-ducation meeting hosted by Parkland Fertilizer in Wetaskiwin.

Farmers who are asked if they plant GM canola shouldn’t preach about

its safety or the science behind it.

Rather, they should talk about why they use it and the difference it has made on their farms, he said.

“Tell them why you use it, talk about the family farm and how it has changed and that farmers can no longer survive on a quarter section.

Tell them in your words.”

Patti Ganske, one of the event organizers, said farmers often find it hard to broach tough topics in agriculture when confronted by non-farmers.

Controversial A & W commercials promoting hamburgers made with no added hormones raised the ire of farmers when they were aired this winter, but few people knew how to tackle the topic.

Ganske hoped farmers and community members at the event would realize they work in a great industry and gain the skills to talk about the tough topics.

“I want people to be proud of what they do and proud to be in agriculture,” she said. “I want to be able to talk freely about it.”

Ganske, who works for Parkland Fertilizer, hopes the company’s model for a positive agriculture conference can be repeated across the Prairies.

McConnell said he helped create Ag More Than Ever, a farm promo-

2014 *5$,1

tion event, partly to give farmers the skills to deal with tough topics. The project has facts, figures and stories to help farmers feel confident about their industry.

“We need to be proud of the great industry we have,” he said. “In this province we talk a lot about the energy business, but we don’t talk enough about the agriculture business.”

Trish Jordan, director of public affairs with Monsanto Canada, said agriculture has given her the opportunity to travel the world and meet interesting and hard working people.

“Agriculture is a really, really great place to be.”

Jordan recommended farmers join the conversation about agriculture on social media, talk to school teachers, volunteer for agriculture in the classroom or write letters to the editor.

Farmers shouldn’t defend the industry, said Jordan. They should simply share their stories and tell people why they make the decision they do.

Farmers who don’t feel comfortable debating can point people to websites that have a balanced approach to agriculture.

Anti-GMO activists spend billions of dollars on well-funded public relations campaigns to tell consumers

&+$//(1*( HOCKEY

about the dangers of modern food.

Their goal is simply to muddy the waters and confuse people, she said.

“Some of them want you to go back to farming the way your parents and grandfather farmed.”

Jordan said farmers shouldn’t bother fighting with the people on the extreme edges of reason, but rather concentrate on talking to people who are curious about agriculture and want to know more about it.

“Have we shared our story and done so in a positive way, or in that void others have stepped in and told your story?” she said.

Ashley Glover grew up on the farm as part of a 4-H family. She no longer lives on the farm, but still works in agriculture as an agronomist with Parrish & Heimbecker in Mossleigh, Alta.

She may not be able to take her child out to the fields every day, but she still wants her daughter to learn the joy of watching plants grow.

Together they started corn in small pots on the kitchen counter as an introduction to agriculture.

“It’s extremely rewarding and exciting for them.”

Letting children learn about the joys of digging in the dirt is just one more way to keep the connection to agriculture, she added.

ON THE FARM | FAMILY PARTICIPATION

Family run approach key to farm’s success Grain Growers of Canada president | Father’s position in grain group gives farming kids the inside scoop on issues and concerns

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MAGRATH, Alta. — When the boss is travelling the world, it helps to have an agronomist and a heavy-duty mechanic at home to look after farm operations.

That’s the enviable position of Gary Stanford, president of the Grain Growers of Canada, who farms near Magrath, Alta., with his wife, Diane, and two sons, Matthew and Sean.

The Stanfords also have two other children, Adam and Megan, who have chosen non-farming careers, and four grandchildren.

The Stanfords seed 5,000 acres of land, some of which is rented, and also do custom farm work. They grow alfalfa, canola, malting barley, winter and spring wheat.

Gary has been on the GGC executive for six years and was vice-president for three before taking over as president last year.

He took the position just when contentious issues surrounding the shipping of last year’s bumper prairie crop arose.

Meetings with government, rail officials and farmers, coupled with international travel on trade missions, have cut drastically into the time he has spent on the farm.

“I couldn’t do it without the boys and family,” Gary said during a rare day spent on the farm.

“Once in awhile they’ll say, ‘you’re gone quite a bit.’ I think that’s why I’m here right now,” he added with a smile.

Nevertheless, Gary said he feels it’s vital for farmer members of the GGC to have their voice heard on transportation issues and contribute to potential improvements.

“In 10 years, as we have better crops, better farming methods, better plant breeding and better tech-

In 10 years, how are we going to get rid of it?”

The issue has taken up more time than he anticipated, with trips to Asia, Singapore and other regions taking a toll.

“In the beginning, (travel) was a

real attraction. But over the winter, I travelled so much, I’m OK with somebody else doing it,” he said.

Gary grew up on the family farm near Cardston, Alta., and after meeting Diane, who also grew up on a farm, he moved to the Magrath property.

Diane jokes that she never got far in life, at least geographically, but farm-

ing has always been her chosen job and lifestyle.

“I could not think of living anywhere else but on the farm,” she said.

“It’s just a wonderful lifestyle. I would hate to live in the city.”

Diane is the bookkeeper and the designated combine operator in harvest season, allowing Gary and the

boys to drive trucks and keep commodities moving.

Matthew, their oldest son, took seed and grain technology training at Olds College and worked for the Canola Council of Canada as an agronomy specialist before switching full time to farming.

He and his wife, Melissa, and their three children live on a farm site near his parents.

“I like being my own boss and the freedom to have control over the direction you’re going,” Matthew said about farming. Agronomics and marketing are its other appeals.

Matthew said he sees benefits in Gary’s involvement in national grain group policy.

“He’s up to date on everything so you get a better appreciation for the things going on, on the periphery,” he said.

Farming full time has also been a life-long dream for Sean. He and his wife, Amberly, have one son, Huxley. “(Farming) is what Dad did and it seemed like a fun thing to do,” he said. Though he works full-time in Lethbridge, he wants to buy land one day and have enough farm income to support his family.

“I’m trying to make my own way, but it’s tough,” he said.

Acquiring land is the dream and the challenge for every young farmer, said Gary. He remembers those same feelings.

“Once you’re over 50, you want to know how much money you made.

Before that, it’s how much land you farm,” he said.

With the day’s farm work complete, he was set to begin answering emails from farmers and keeping up with his Twitter account. Fourteen hours after starting the day, he might have time to rest — and dream of trains pulling Canadian grain to port and ships carrying it overseas.

CODE OF PRACTICE | COMPLIANCE

RECYCLING | COLLECTION SITES

Assessment to ensure livestock code compliance

Sask. expands grain bag, twine collection sites

Consumers, retailers want code assessment program

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Livestock producers may be following the national codes of practice for animal handling and welfare, but how can they prove it?

That’s the question behind development of animal care assessments, a process of farm inspection that checks compliance with the codes of practice and can provide proof to anyone who asks.

Dr. Ed Pajor, a professor in the University of Calgary’s veterinary program, has served on scientific committees for three codes of practice.

He told an April 11 dairy workshop that Dairy Farmers of Canada is first out of the gate in piloting an assessment process. The dairy code of practice was updated in 2009.

“Wonderful. You’ve got a code.

You’ve got standards, scientifically informed standards. You have criteria that make a lot of sense,” he said.

“But what do you have? You’ve got a piece of paper that says ‘here’s our standards.’ You have no evidence, you have no way of demonstrating to somebody that you’re following the code. And ‘just trust me’ doesn’t cut it anymore.”

Pajor said retailers want proof to offer customers when they ask about animal welfare practices. It means farms will have to be assessed for their compliance with the codes’ requirements and recommendations.

Pajor said the National Farm Animal Care Council has developed an assessment framework that can be adapted for any type of livestock.

“The goal of this is to have a Canadian based standard on how to develop animal care codes and how to develop animal care assessment programs for all commodity groups so that when people go to the international marketplace, they can say everybody’s followed this process.

“If we have a label on it that says, ‘animal care assessed,’ everybody’s going to know what that means.”

Pajor said it would make Canadian assurance superior to what is found in the United States, where there are many different assessment programs that can confuse rather than instill confidence.

During a pilot of the assessment process last year, Dairy Farmers of Canada found that producers unders t o o d t hat a n a s s e s s m e nt a n d accompanying proof of compliance would be useful but were also weary of scrutiny.

“They heard things like, ‘how many times do I have to be judged? Do we really need to have another program in place?’ And I can understand the frustration,” Pajor said.

DFC plans to revise training materials and do another pilot this year and take the project national next year.

By 2016, it hopes to have formal assessments for all dairy farms in Canada and a system of penalties for those who do not meet code requirements.

Fourteen collection sites will accept plastic grain bags and twine for recycling this year as Saskatchewan works toward an industry-led permanent recycling program for 2015.

The federal and provincial governments announced last week that the pilot project will receive $100,000 in funding through Growing Forward 2 for another year.

The program began with six sites in March 2011, and has since then recycled 325,800 kilograms of plastic (2,172 bags) and 6,600 kg of twine.

Last year’s huge crop will result in

more used grain bags, said agriculture minister Lyle Stewart.

“We want farmers to continue to have an option to responsibly dispose of their bags,” he said.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the high level of participation in the program indicates farmers want to do just that.

Saskatchewan’s environment ministry is developing regulations that should result in a permanent recycling program by next year.

Until then, Simply Agriculture Solutions, known until April 1 as the Provincial Council of Agriculture Development and Diversification Boards, will continue to administer the program.

Bag rollers are available that producers can use to roll bags before transporting them to the collection sites.

Simply Ag co-ordinates transportation from the site to recycling facilities.

Travis Quirk, agricultural plastic recycling co-ordinator, said other products such as silage plastic and net wrap will be added to the pilot.

Where recycling isn’t available, producers should check with their nearest landfills to find out if grain bags can be taken there.

The search for the Breakthroughs in science are usually the result of labour over a lifetime or longer. Most crop research is devoted to incremental improvements, but some are devoted to transformative change. One such search is for a way to allow cereals to fix nitrogen as pulse crops do. Such a breakthrough would free producers, particularly poor farmers in the developing world, from the crushing expense of commercial fertilizers.

The Gates Foundation funds research on nitrogen fixation. As Western Producer reporter Robert Arnason found in this second part of a special report on crop research, the foundation’s support gives security for scientists who pursue a goal that will likely take decades to achieve.

A

NUMBER OF WORDS could be used to describe Giles Oldroyd’s research: visionary, mind boggling, revolutionary, fanciful and downright impossible.

The British plant biologist appreciates the praise but understands the skepticism because he also has reservations about his research: trying to turn corn into a legume.

Oldroyd is attempting to transfer the nitrogen-fixing ability of peas and soybeans into cereal crops.

The allure of nitrogen fixing cereals has enticed hundreds of plant scientists for more than a century. Who wouldn’t want to solve a problem regarded as the ultimate riddle in plant science?

Oldroyd, however, is a realist who recognizes what he’s up against.

“With the technologies we have right now, this is hard work…. I don’t think we have all the knowledge to do it right now. I don’t think we know sufficiently … the process in legumes to transfer that capability,” said Oldroyd, who works at the John Innes Centre, an independent plant science and microbiology lab in Norwich, England.

German scientists Hermann Hellriegel and Hermann Wilfarth discovered in 1886 that legumes use atmospheric nitrogen for their growth.

They didn’t know precisely how it worked but they concluded, correctly, that legumes performed the trick in tumour-like structures on their roots called nodules, where bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia.

Scientists have advanced their knowledge of this process in the 128

years since Hellriegel’s and Wilfarth’s eureka moment and have attempted to transfer the trait to other crops, with minimal to modest success.

Plant scientists who study nitrogen fixation caught a break in 2011 when Microsoft founder Bill Gates became intrigued by the concept.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds agricultural development around the globe, particularly research to boost production in subSaharan Africa.

Allen Good, a University of Alberta plant scientist, pitched nitrogen fixing cereals to the Gates Foundation several years ago, arguing they could transform agriculture in Africa and parts of the world where farmers can’t afford fertilizer.

Good’s pitch must have resonated because it led to a meeting between foremost scientists in the field and the Gates Foundation in 2011. Gates didn’t participate in the meeting, but his employees said the billionaire is “quite interested in nitrogen.”

“You know why it’s interesting … because potentially it’s a solvable problem,” said Good, speculating on Gates’ interest.

“There are no other big problems in agriculture that have the air of possibly being solvable, other than the simple ones like … continuing to boost yields.”

Good followed up on the meeting by writing a paper that summarized potential methods to engineer nitrogen-fixing cereals.

“The question was simply: if you had to tackle this problem, how would you do it?” said Good, who studies nitrogen use efficiency and biological

e holy grail: nitrogen fixation in cereal crops nitrogen fixation at the U of A. In a paper published in Science, Future Prospects for Cereals that Fix Nitrogen, Good identified three approaches to the problem: • Inoculate seeds with micro-organisms called endophytes, which live between plant cells. These bacteria already exist in cereals and some have the ability to fix nitrogen.

• Re-engineer the biology of a cereal plant so it mimics the nitrogen fixing ability of legumes.

• Use an enzyme known as nitrogenase, which can break the triple bond that holds atmospheric nitrogen together The Gates Foundation publicly backed its interest in nitrogen fixing cereals in 2012 by announcing $10 million US in funding for the second option.

“We need innovation for farmers to increase their productivity in a sustainable way so that they can lift themselves and their families out of poverty,” Katherine Kahn, the Gates Foundation’s senior programs officer, said in 2012.

“Improving access to nitrogen could dramatically boost the crop yields of farmers in Africa.”

The research focuses on corn, and Oldroyd leads the John Innes Centre team tackling the problem.

Oldroyd and his colleagues are concentrating on the communication between legumes and soil bacteria known as rhizobia, which co-operate with plants to fix nitrogen. “(The plant) has to find the rhi-

zobia in the soil and it does (it) through this chemical communication,” said Oldroyd, who studied at Stanford University and the University of California.

Oldroyd described the communication channel between soil fungi and legumes as a “signalling pathway.”

Oldroyd has to biologically construct a similar pathway in corn to duplicate legumes’ ability to fix nitrogen.

“That mycorrhizal symbiosis is ubiquitous within the plant kingdom,” he said.

“The signalling pathway is there in cereals and allows recognition of mycorrhizal fungi. What we’re attempting to do in cereals is to engineer that pathway to also allow recognition of the nitrogen fixing bacteria…. We (don’t) have to recreate a whole new signalling capability.

We’re engineering a pre-existing signalling pathway.”

Good said the signalling pathway exists in corn and other cereals, but key components are missing.

“Imagine you have an old-fashioned car … and you’re missing a carburetor. If you can put the carburetor on to get the fuel in, all of a sudden you’ve got an engine that works.”

The plant may begin fixing nitrogen if scientists can convince the soil bacteria and cereals to communicate and form nodules on the roots.

“The argument is once you have a nodule, maybe you don’t need to do anything more than that,” Good said.

Unfortunately, engineering a communication pathway that stimulates nodule formation is much more

complicated than installing a carburetor in a 1969 Camaro.

Manish Raizada, a University of Guelph plant scientist, has confidence in the John Innes Centre, but he questions the basic premise of Oldroyd’s research.

“The folks at John Innes … these guys are really, really good. They’re among the best scientists in the world in this area,” said Raizada, who studies nitrogen fixation and nitrogen use efficiency. “(But) In terms of their final objective, yes, I am very skeptical.”

Raizada said dozens of genes play a role in the pathway, and how are scientists going to figure out how to make nodules on corn roots if Mother Nature couldn’t do it?

“If you look at the plants that form nodules … it’s a very narrow group.…

Other plants really don’t seem to be able to do this,” he said.

“Nitrogen is the limiting factor for growth of all plants on the planet. That means for millions and millions of years, there would have been strong natural selection for microbes that could do this…. If nature couldn’t do it after 100 million years, that’s a lot of generations (of plants). Then we have to be very, very skeptical.”

Sugar cane model holds promise Raizada is pursuing a different approach to achieve the same goal.

He’s following a model based on successes with sugar cane in Brazil, where growers inoculate the soil with bacteria that fix nitrogen for the cane.

“It’s estimated today that Brazil saves $1 billion in nitrogen fertilizer costs (annually) because of these bacteria,” Raizada said.

“It’s one of the reasons why ethanol from sugar cane is actually financially viable … because they don’t have to dump on nitrogen.”

Figures vary widely on how much nitrogen the bacteria, known as endophytes, fix for sugar cane. Estimates range from five to 50 pounds per acre.

Raizada and his team want to replicate the sugar cane model in corn.

They have identified 30 endophytes in corn capable of fixing nitrogen.

“We looked at ancestral corn that grows in the wild, all the way from Central America to (Canada),” he said.

“We suspect they fix at a very low level, but the next number of years we’ll be doing systemic testing on it.”

If they can isolate bacteria suitable

WHAT IS AN ENDOPHYTE? • Endophytes are organisms, typically fungi and bacteria, that live between plant cells.

• They often have a symbiotic relationship with the plant, occasionally pathogenic.

• Brazilian scientists have used a type of endophyte, diazotrophic endophytic bacteria, to promote nitrogen fixation in sugar cane.

• Scientists believe endophytes could be sources of new chemistries to address human, plant and animal health.

• Biologists understand the complete set of endophytes in only a few of the world’s plants.

• Taxol, a powerful cancer drug, was derived from endophytes found in a pacific yew tree. for modern corn varieties, the idea is to apply the bacteria to corn seed, much like inoculants on soybeans.

Several challenges are associated with this approach. For one, some scientists wonder if the endophytes are actually producing nitrogen for sugar cane. They might be acting more like plant growth hormones.

Raizada said the endophytes might fix nitrogen for sugar cane but not other crops.

“It’s sugar for nitrogen,” he said.

“The plant, through photosynthesis, feeds the bacteria sugar and it fixes in return. In sugar cane it’s easy to imagine how this happens because the cane is very high in sugar. That might be why this seems to work in sugar cane.”

Oldroyd and Raizada may be tackling the problem from different perspectives, but they agree on a broader topic: engineering nitrogen fixing cereals is exceptionally complex and anyone promising to deliver it in few years is a charlatan.

“When I talk to the press, I always get asked: how long is it going to take?

There is no answer to that. We are working in the unknown,” Oldroyd said.

“It could take years. It could take 50 years…. I don’t know whether it’s possible to achieve it within my career. It might not be.”

Scientists made comments in the 1990s suggesting nitrogen fixing cereals were just around the corner.

“Overstatements from scientists and from the press don’t help at all,”

Oldroyd said.

Raizada was more specific in his criticism. Researchers at the University of Nottingham said last year that they had discovered a specific strain of bacteria that could colonize the roots of dozens of crops, thus permitting those crops to fix nitrogen.

Raizada said the claim is unsubstantiated.

“I have tried to chase down the scientific literature on this. I could only find one paper from a very long time ago,” he said.

“They’re claiming this bacteria can colonize, I think, 60 different species of crops. That is a remarkable claim…. We have hundreds of species of bacteria … in my lab…. Most of those bacteria will only infect, or colonize, a few species.”

He said it’s maddening to see headlines claiming researchers have solved the nitrogen fixation riddle because the science simply isn’t there.

“What this does … it creates false hope. Funders and grower groups start investing, they get their hopes up and then it’s going to be dashed,” he said.

“And when it gets dashed, a lot of other researchers, who are doing long, painful, very difficult serious work, they’re the ones who suffer.”

Oldroyd said scientists should promote modest goals. If it is possible to engineer corn that works in symbiosis with rhizobia, it’s not going to replace 200 lb. of applied nitrogen.

“You can probably get primitive, more rudimentary structures on the cereal root that will fix nitrogen at some level, but they won’t fix nitrogen at the level to replace fertilizers,” he said.

Still, 25 to 50 lb. of nitrogen could dramatically improve yields for farmers in Africa.

Private companies, with the exception of Monsanto, aren’t publicly pursuing the technology because the research is too risky and the return on investment may take decades, Good said.

Oldroyd hopes the technology is developed during his lifetime, but his primary task is charting a path for future scientists.

“I don’t feel it’s my role to deliver nitrogen fixing cereals to farmers,” he said.

“I feel it is my role in the public sector to show what is possible, and to essentially lower the risk (for) the companies.”

FUNGICIDE | APPLICATION

Critical time for cereal spraying all about leaf stage Ideal time for spraying fungicides varies according to a crop’s leaf development

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Farmers shouldn’t be afraid to spray fungicide on young crops if the disease pressure warrants it, says a researcher from New Zealand.

“A foliar fungicide applied at flag leaf will give some protection to the two leaves below the flag leaf,” said Nick Poole, director for research and extension at the Foundation for Arable Research in Templeton, N.Z. “But this will only be effective if the crop hasn’t been subject to disease infection up to that point in time.”

It’s important to keep the rest of the leaves disease free to set the foundations for yield formation.

However, the leaves tend to be smaller and their importance to final grain fill is less than the top three leaves, which are larger and photosynthesize when the cereal is in the grain fill stage.

The leaf that develops just before the top three leaves tend to be more important in barley than in wheat because it is bigger and subject to relatively more light.

“So, spring barley foliar fungicide programs tend to start slightly earlier than in wheat to protect this leaf as it emerges,” said Poole.

“The critical time to start foliar fungicide programs in both wheat and barley, assuming the crop is at risk of infection, is at the start of stem elongation. Where crops are subject to earlier infection, our research indicates a foliar spray applied at the start of stem elongation and again at flag leaf is very effective at preventing disease build up in the crop canopy.”

Spraying at the start of stem elongation protects the leaves, which will be in the bottom of the crop canopy at ear emergence. That’s because the fungicide will not penetrate the crop canopy effectively and won’t work as well when applied to established infection. There is no substitute for spraying earlier when the lower leaves emerge, which is the start of stem elongation.

The economics may be questionable, but it is probably more effective to protect those leaves with seed treatments if the first leaves to emerge also need protection.

Pool said farmers may need to find ways to treat those bottom leaves from the bottom up with a fungicide drench applied on or near the soil.

He said another option is to apply a top dress application of 25 pounds nitrogen with the fungicide to help boost the crop’s vigour. This is particularly useful in wheat grown in a short rotation with other cereals.

The timing of this application needs to take into account the time needed for the nitrogen to convert and become available to the plants before the critical stem elongation stage.

“The cereal crops’ demand for nitrogen increases greatly at the start of stem elongation when, in order to develop a large crop canopy to harness the sun’s energy, the crop produces longer stems and large leaves to capture light to fill the developing

grain in the head,” said Poole.

“In drier environments, the flag’s importance to final grain fill can be reduced, as the leaf is not as active after flowering as it would be in a wetter environment. It is also important to understand that the leaf sheaths surrounding the stem and the head itself are important solar panels in terms of photosynthesis, accounting for between 20 and 25 percent of the yield in assessments.”

RESEARCH | BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Scientists make ethanol using electricity instead of crops WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Scientists have developed an efficient way to make ethanol without using crops.

They said their process turns carbon monoxide gas into liquid ethanol with the help of an electrode made of a form of copper.

The new technique may be more environmentally friendly and efficient than the current method, they added.

Critics say growing crops for biofuel is energy intensive, takes up vast tracts of nonagricultural land and uses too much water and fertilizer.

They also say diverting corn and sugar to make biofuel pushes up food prices.

The United States leads the world in

ethanol production, with 13.3 billion gallons in 2013, followed by Brazil’s 6.3 billion gallons, according to the Renewable Fuels Association.

Scientists led by Stanford University chemist Matthew Kanan described the new method in research published in the journal Nature.

Kanan said a prototype device could be ready in two to three years, enabling an assessment on whether the process can become commercially viable.

“I emphasize that these are just laboratory experiments today. We haven’t built a device,” Kanan said.

“But it demonstrates the feasibility of using electricity that you could get from a renewable energy source to

power fuel synthesis, in this case ethanol. There are some real advantages to doing that relative to using biomass to produce ethanol.”

Ethanol fuel is usually produced at high-temperature fermentation facilities that chemically transform corn, sugar cane and other plants into liquid fuel.

Kanan and his colleagues built an electrochemical cell, which consists of two electrodes put in water and saturated with carbon monoxide gas.

One of the electrodes was made of a material they call “oxide-derived copper.”

The scientists said the carbon monoxide gas was converted into ethanol when voltage was applied across the

electrodes. They hope to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it to carbon monoxide, which would then be fed into the copperoxide catalyst.

The researchers hope the catalytic cell would be powered by a renewable energy source such as solar or wind.

Chemist Aaron Appel of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory said the research demonstrates “a remarkable improvement in selectivity and energy efficiency” for the production of ethanol from carbon monoxide. Appel was not part of the study but wrote a commentary in Nature on the findings.

Advocates call ethanol a green energy source that, compared to gasoline, reduces greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.

The Renewable Fuels Association said ethanol directly supported more than 86,000 U.S. jobs in fuel production and agriculture in 2013.

Last November, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed cutting the amount of ethanol required to be mixed with the gasoline supply, responding to pressure from the petroleum industry.

It marked the first planned cut to the renewable fuel targets that were written into a 2007 U.S. law.

CHICAGO (Reuters) — The United States is considering rules that would require outbreaks of a deadly pig virus to be reported to the government.

The move is an effort to improve tracking of the disease, which has already spread to 30 states.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus has killed millions of baby pigs since it was first detected in the U.S. a year ago. It has crimped the country’s hog supplies and sent prices to record highs.

It remains unclear how the virus entered the country, and farmers have struggled to find ways to contain it.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has discussed the option of mandatory reporting with the American Association of Swine Veterinarians, said association executive director Tom Burkgren.

PED, which is nearly always fatal in piglets, has been difficult to track partly because veterinarians are not required to alert government officials of its presence. “(The USDA is) currently evaluating additional options for addressing this virus,” a spokesperson said in an email.

The veterinarians’ association has been publishing weekly outbreak data based on voluntary reports since PED was first discovered in the U. S. T h e v i r u s d o e s n o t a f f e c t humans.

Burkgren said it may be too late for mandatory reporting to have significant benefits to the livestock industry.

“You’ve got a very widely distributed disease,” he said.

“At this point in the outbreak, I think we’d have to see some really good reasons to start reporting it.”

Mandatory reporting is already used for viruses such as African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease.

The USDA can quarantine animals with African swine fever and restrict the movement of infected animals.

WORLD IN BRIEF GENETIC MODIFICATION

France bans GM corn PARIS, France (Reuters) — France’s lower house of parliament has adopted a law that prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified corn, saying it poses a risk to the environment.

France adopted a decree last month to halt the planting of Monsanto’s insect-resistant MON810 corn, the only GM crop allowed for cultivation in the European Union.

The law also applies to any strain adopted at the EU level in the future, including another GM variety, Pioneer 1507, which was developed jointly by DuPont and Dow Chemical.

The EU executive could approve it later this year after 19 out of 28

member states failed to gather enough votes to block it.

The law adopted by the French National Assembly is similar to one rejected by the Senate in February when it was deemed unconstitutional.

The French government has opposed the growing of GM crops, citing public suspicion and protests by environmentalists.

greenhouse gases from the air, it added.

The study, drawing on the work of more than 1,000 experts, said a shift from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy such as wind, solar and nuclear power was affordable and would shave only .06 of a percentage point per year off world economic growth.

imports could fall below 15 million tones in the third quarter from 18.25 million in the same period last year, traders and industry officials said.

It would likely cap a rally in global prices because it would coincide with bumper supplies from Brazil and Argentina hitting the market.

They compete with European species for food and disrupt their habitats. Some, such as Japanese knotweed, damage buildings. Others are a threat to human health.

The co-operatives predict that the country’s winter rapeseed crop will fall 3.9 percent on the year to 5.54 million tonnes, slightly down from 5.57 million tonnes previously forecast.

Germany is the European Union’s second largest wheat producer after France and the EU’s largest producer of rapeseed, which is the EU’s main oilseed for edible oil, margarine and biodiesel.

Live hog prices were expected to increase as a result of the pig virus, the report said.

The U.S. hog herd was at 57.048 million head March 1, 3.7 percent lower than a year ago with losses largely attributed to PED, the USDA said.

PED was first confirmed in the United States last May. The virus has since spread to hog farms in 30 U.S. states, and industry analysts estimate six to seven million pigs have died in the country because of the virus.

The virus is also present on hog farms in four Canadian provinces and several areas in Mexico.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

WINNIPEG — Keeping and further developing the “Canadian Advantage” is key to future prairie grain value, said speakers at a recent conference.

The advantage comes from a combination of factors involving politics, environment, farm and industry structure and changes in world crop demand, they told the inaugural Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

Bill Cordingley, managing director with Rabobank International of the Americas, said the world’s premium crop buyers believe they can get top quality supplies from Canada.

“Having that reputation for consistency and reliability is critical,” he said.

GREGORY PAGE CARGILL INC.

Gregory Page, executive chair of Cargill Inc., said he thinks Canada not only has an agricultural advantage now but will have an increasing one in the future with its rain-fed prairie cropping system.

“This is going to be a huge positive for the reputation of Canadian crops as we go forward,” said Page, noting that countries such as the United States rely more on irrigation.

Speakers, both foreign and Canadian, said Canada’s advantage comes from several factors: • an unusual multitude of small acreage crops • a cold environment • political stability • skilled farmers • an efficient grain storage handling and transportation system

Canada is extremely well-placed. Not only quality, but also ease of doing business.…

A reliable, trustworthy trading partner is a critical element in an era of … volatile global commodities.

BILL CORDINGLEY RABOBANK INTERNATIONAL

Pulse Canada chair Nick Sekulic said farmers should focus on boosting returns by meeting growing world demand rather than just maximizing production for the sake of doing more.

“We know it’s growing. Our key focus in our strategic plan is profitability,” said Sekulic.

“We need to focus on strategically going after markets where we can optimize our profitability.”

Henry Van Ankum, chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario, agreed.

“We need to continue to build off our strengths, supplying high quality niche markets,” he said. “We need to differentiate ourselves, figure out what our niche is and tap into a higher value with that.”

Page said Canada has become one of Cargill’s top five countries in which to invest, putting it in a club with global agriculture giants such as the U.S. and Brazil.

He said Canada is politically stable, which isn’t true of many nations. Its rain-fed advantage is increased by northern environment, which reduces pest threats and allows farmers to produce with fewer inputs.

“Canada, with its cold climate and much more modest use of crop protection products, is going to fare very well in comparisons about sustainability in the agricultural system,” said Page.

Customers are increasingly asking about pesticides and fertilizers, he added.Being able to source rare crops from Canada is an advantage for Cargill.

“Western Canada has an incredibly diverse set of crops,” Page said.

“While some of these may be small commodities in the total global scheme, they are important in the sense that Canada often makes up a significant percentage of global trade in these crops.”

However, seed and biotechnology companies talked about one of the threats to Canada’s crop diversity.

Monsanto believes short-season, hardy corn and soybean varieties could be developed for 26 million acres of prairie land, supporting an annual crop of eight to 10 million acres of corn and six to eight million acres of soybeans.

However, it would come at other crops’ expense, and panelists debated which ones it would be.

As well, Sekulic said the current crisis in prairie grain transportation is damaging Canada’s reputation for reliability. The expectation of bigger crops in the future means Canada will need to ensure it can remain a trusted source for premium-priced crops.

Prairie farmers should have a great future if it can do that.

“Canada is extremely well-placed,” said Cordingley. “Not only quality, but also ease of doing business.… A reliable, trustworthy trading partner is a critical element in an era of … volatile global commodities.”

Van Ankum said Canadian farm and agriculture commodity organizations need to unite to promote Canada’s strengths as a supplier of commodities for which buyers should be willing to pay premium prices.

“We need to promote our Canadian advantage,” said Van Ankum.

Iconic prairie scenes of blue sky and cattle on the range are abundant in a video released this fall by Operation Grassland Community.

Focused on grassland stewardship, the OGC has 300 members, five of whom explain their grasslands philosophy in the short video.

Some of them, as well as others interested in prairie grassland habitat, gathered in Lethbridge April 15 to see the video and discuss the role ranching and beef production play in habitat preservation, biodiversity and food production.

Mara Erickson of OGC said it is part of a plan to improve public awareness. Youth education initiatives are part of it, but those details are still being developed.

Erickson said the public tends to think little about ranching’s role in environmental stewardship.

“Very generally, when people think of a pristine ecosystem, they think of something that is devoid of any human influence. So if they think

about ranching on a landscape, even without any reasoning, they may think that’s probably not good for the grasses and the wildlife.”

Information provided in the video is contrary to that view. It features Dylan and Colleen Biggs of TK Ranch near Coronation, Alta., John and Kelsey Beasley of Integrity Ranching near Youngstown, Alta., Calvin Raessler of Top Grass Beef near Drumheller, Alta., Jerry Holtman of Holtman Farms near Taber, Alta., and Max Tateson of Three Triangle Ranch near Tilley, Alta.

In the video, they talk about various aspects of ranching, grasslands and ecosystems.

Erickson said OGC wants to engage the public in conversations about grassland stewardship to educate and dispel misconceptions.

“They either think of ranching as neutral, or something that just happens or they might have those negative connotations with it, unless they hear some of the good.”

The newest soybean breeder in Ontario understands the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our program is using different strategies to improve traits and introduce new ones,â&#x20AC;? said Milad Eskandari, who recently took over the late Gary Ablettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breeding program at the University of Guelphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ridgetown campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to have good varieties in regard to yield and agronomics and at the same time, because more than 70 percent of our soybeans in Ontario are for export, to make our customers a lot happier.â&#x20AC;?

He said a particular trait wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily result in a premium for growers, but international buyers are more likely to buy from Ontario if growers can supply soybeans with an enhanced level of nutrition, improved oil and protein content or some other special attribute.

Eskandari and his team have a variety of objectives. One project uses mutagenesis, which involves inducing a mutation in part of the genome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m introducing 10,000 seeds from a single variety from the University of Minnesota that have been randomly mutated,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Some will fail to germinate or thrive, while the remaining plants will be visually evaluated for agronomic performance.

The seed from likely candidates,

BUILDING YOUR GETAWAY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

perhaps 2,000 to 3,000 plants in all, will then be tested for seed quality traits including oil, protein and fatty acid profile.

He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack. The aim is to identify a plant, or hopefully a number of plants, with a novel trait that has value for the industry.

The next step is to make a cross with an elite variety in the hope that the trait will be carried forward and eventually become part of a new variety.

One specific goal is to develop a variety with â&#x20AC;&#x153;sulfur-containing amino acids,â&#x20AC;? which would make it more valuable for feed purposes.

Other program objectives include breeding for resistance to the soybean cyst nematode, a soil-borne disease spreading through the province, and developing soybeans with higher levels of isoflavones.

Eskandari said a key consideration is the introduction of varieties with strong agronomic benefits, including better yields.

Murray Insley of the Hensall District Co-operative said yield lag is no longer much of a consideration with identity preserved soybeans, even with food grade varieties, which means growers interested in IP opportunities often receive the full benefit from the premiums offered.

These add up to about $3 a bushel for food grade varieties, on top of the $13 per bu. the marketplace has been offering for new crop beans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The premium is as high as or higher than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been,â&#x20AC;? Insley said.

KOCHIA | GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE

BNSF, CP ordered to report fertilizer delivery plans

Manitoba growers on alert for kochia Till or hand weed | Glyphosate resistant kochia found in all three prairie provinces

BY ROBERT ARNASON

(Reuters) — U.S. officials have ordered BNSF Railway Co. and Canadian Pacific Railway to report their plans to ensure timely fertilizer deliveries to the U.S. farm belt ahead of the spring planting season.

The U.S. Surface Transportation Board decision, which was filed April 15, followed a hearing in Washington where U.S. agriculture leaders reported that rail service problems have stalled grain shipments and threatened to deprive farmers of the rail-delivered fertilizers they need this spring.

Railroads have blamed uncommonly harsh winter weather and heavy demand for shipping crude oil by rail for the shipping woes, but say that service is improving with warmer weather.

The rail dispute arbiter also asked BNSF and CP to provide it with detailed weekly status reports about fertilizer shipments for six weeks beginning April 25, including the number of cars shipped or received at agricultural destinations and data on actual performance compared with trip plans.

BNSF said it would submit its plans as requested. The railroad announced it had assigned more locomotives and train crews to expedite fertilizer deliveries.

“We understand the shortness of the season and the necessity of timely delivery in order to safeguard that producers can get this year’s crops planted with the proper plant nutrients,” the railroad said in a statement.

BNSF, a unit of investor Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., is one of the largest U.S. railroads and is concentrated largely in the western United States. CP’s network stretches across Canada and into the northern U.S. Midwest and Plains.

GLYPHOSATE RESISTANCE SURVEY

BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba weed experts are stepping up efforts to control the spread of glyphosate resistant kochia now that it has officially arrived in the province.

Manitoba Agriculture announced in mid-April that it had found glyphosate resistant kochia in two fields in the province’s Red River Valley.

Ag reps found the gly-phosate resistant kochia last fall during a weed survey of agricultural land in Manitoba but couldn’t confirm the finding until laboratory tests verified their suspicion.

Provincial weed specialist Nasir Shaikh said glyphosate resistant kochia has been found in Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Minnesota, so a Manitoba case was inevitable.

The Red River Valley discovery is peculiar because kochia is more prevalent in southwestern Manitoba.

“We have a lot of glyphosate resistant kochia just south of the border in North Dakota and Minnesota,” Shaikh said.

“There may be a chance it (the weed) moved with the flood waters, or moved from (there) up north.”

The glyphosate resistant weeds were found on a soybean field and a corn field in the Red River Valley.

The soybean producer applied glyphosate three times to the field during the growing season, but a number of kochia plants persisted, Shaikh said.

“When it (kochia) was not controlled, he was concerned and called up (Manitoba Agriculture).”

Shaikh and others will work with the affected growers and neighbouring landowners to limit the weed’s spread.

The soybean grower removed weeds by hand that showed signs of glyphosate resistance. Shaikh is

Manitoba Agriculture staff conducted a kochia survey last fall with help from Agriculture Canada and the University of Manitoba.

Plants from 283 different kochia populations were harvested, threshed and planted over the winter. The resulting seedlings were tested for glyphosate resistance.

Plants collected from two fields came back positive: a soybean field and a corn field, both in the Red River Valley. These are the first confirmed cases of glyphosate resistant weeds in Manitoba.

Growers are urged to till or remove weeds by hand to limit the spread of glyphosate resistance. | FILE PHOTO encouraging other producers to do the same.

“Be very watchful,” he said.

“If you can identify it early in the season and if (a grower) suspects it may be glyphosate resistant kochia, then a (farmer) can go out and do some tillage or hand weeding.”

Shaikh plans to hold sessions this summer to educate growers about herbicide resistance and appropriate tactics, such as tank mixing and other aspects of integrated weed management.

Glyphosate resistant kochia is present in all three prairie provinces. Scientists first detected resistant kochia in southern Alberta in 2011 and near Swift Current, Sask., in 2012.

Kent Fraser, vice-president of Stratus Ag Research, said prairie farmers recognize that glyphosate resistance is a serious issue.

Stratus conducted an online poll of 802 western Canadian farmers in December to gauge the severity of the problem and farmer attitudes regarding glyphosate resistance.

“Even those who don’t have any glyphosate resistance … about 50 percent are concerned or very concerned about the problem,” Fraser said.

“The awareness and interest is there.”

But are they altering weed management strategies to mitigate herbicide resistance?

Weed scientists occasionally become frustrated because some growers rely solely on glyphosate and are unwilling to adopt more sophisticated tactics.

The Stratus survey suggests farmers are willing to take action to combat glyphosate resistant weeds.

The survey asked growers if they agree, disagree, strongly agree with 10 statements.

One of them was: “Me or my family will continue to farm this land for many years to come, therefore it is important to prevent resistant weeds.”

Fraser said nearly every farmer agreed with that statement.

“So, these (farmers) are good stewards.”

HOG DISEASE | PREPARATION

Sask. creates fund to help prevent, cope with PED SaskPork, gov’t support | The $400,000 fund will be used to help producers offset losses if the disease is discovered in the province

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

O t t aw a a n d R e g i na hav e a n nounced $200,000 in funding to help the Saskatchewan hog industry deal with potential cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea.

SaskPork will match that to establish a $400,000 contingency fund.

No cases have been confirmed in the province, but the fund will be in place to help offset costs of disease containment, mortality management, welfare and marketing should the disease be found.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said vigilance is key to reducing the impact of PED. “This investment will help the Saskatchewan pork industry take proactive measures to stay in front of this disease,” he said in a news release.

Provincial agriculture minister Lyle

The emergency fund will be used for prevention measures and containment costs if the PED is found in the province. | USDA PHOTO Stewart said on-farm biosecurity is critical.

“This funding will enable producers to work with their local veterinarian and marketing agencies to contain PED, locate alternate markets for PED positive pigs and ultimately minimize the spread of the disease in Saskatchewan,” he said.

Saskatchewan has 119 producers who produce 2.2 million market hogs a year from 91,000 sows.

PED is a notifiable disease in Saskatchewan. Laboratories must report positive tests within 24 hours to the province’s chief veterinary officer.

The provincial government also has a biosecurity program, which

offers $150,000 to producers to improve biosecurity, including $300 for on-site veterinary assessments and $1,000 for changes to improve biosecurity measures.

Trucking companies are also able to access $500 for biosecurity audits of wash facilities.

In addition, the province has committed $90,000 for PED surveillance at high-risk sites such as assembly yards, abattoirs, renderers and truck facilities.

SaskPork general manager Neil Ketilson said the entire industry has been working to prevent PED from becoming an issue in the province and is pleased to see the government match its funding.

Land worthless for ag, priceless for wildlife

BY BILL STILWELL FREELANCE WRITER

Western Manitoba’s sandhill region attracts some strange residents.

The Drinkwalter property in the Oak Lake Sandhills and Wetlands Natural Area southeast of Virden is d o t t e d w i t h o p e n s a n d y a re a s known as blowouts, where rare and endangered plants and animals flourish.

Protecting this habitat has become a priority for one family.

Landowner Jon Drinkwalter said the land is virtually worthless from an agricultural perspective. However, it is priceless when considering its recreational and biological diversity value.

Drinkwalter and his wife, Angie, feel that protecting habitat is more important than the economic returns they might get from the land, so they placed a conservation easement on it, which covers parts of three quarter-sections.

“It’s all wild with big rolling hills,” he said.

“When a study was done, they found endangered species and species at risk.”

Josh Dillabough, natural area coordinator with Nature Conservancy Canada in Manitoba, said the property is a stabilized sand dunes system with a mix of sandhill woodlands and sandhill grasslands habitats.

“The sandhill slopes alongside are host to a suite of rare plants such as sand bluestem, spinystar (a cactus) and silky prairie clover.”

It is also well suited to sand beetles.

Bob Wrigley, chair of the conser-

vancy’s volunteer scientific advisory committee for Manitoba, said 19 species of sand beetles live in the province.

He said they have highly specific habitat requirements and tend to live in isolated colonies.

“Several species are currently at risk, with small populations found at only one or a couple of localities.

Manitoba’s largest species, the big sand tiger beetle, inhabits the sandy blowouts of the Drinkwalter property,” he said.

“Due to its relatively undisturbed nature, the property no doubt provides essential habitat for literally thousands of wildlife species.”

The Drinkwalters use the property for campfires, picnics and hiking. In fall, hunters can receive permission to the use the land.

The Drinkwalters enjoy the peace the place offers.

“The only noise you hear is from the road. It’s so peaceful, no noise, no light, just the stars, and there’s a million of them. It is quiet, peaceful recreation land. We don’t want it for farming. It is our hobby land,” he said.

“Everybody is happy: the conservancy got a big slab of protected land and we paid off our mortgage, so it is good for everybody.”

Drinkwalter said the land also has larger wildlife, including bear, coyotes, deer and bald eagles.

A conservation easement is a voluntary, legal agreement between a landowner and conservation organization that permanently limits the uses of the land to protect it from development or harmful infringements.

“Great sprayer made even better with a luxury cab.

Well thought out cab streamlined into the new Apache.”

-Bill Hoffman, Hays, Kansas

Announcing the new 2014 Apache Sprayer – Now, you can surround yourself with luxury while you spray.

We have taken the experience of spraying with an Apache to a new universe. It still costs less to own an Apache.

Now the Apache offers an exhilarating operator experience.

Our new cab comes equipped with: • ET Pilot System - 7" interactive color touch screen (swipe or stylist) - Track transmission, fuel economy, engine torque - Adjust automatic side mirrors, rear view camera and two different cruise control speeds • New joystick offers easier handling • Premium leather, heated seat • Four high performance Jensen® speakers with Polk™ audio system (including 6 free months of SiriusXM™) • Premium buddy seat with portable cooler • Automated climate control with improved cooling and venting • Foot throttle

Every sprayer we build still delivers the high standard of excellence our customers expect.

The Apache’s lighter weight is easier on compaction compared to other best selling machines. The Apache weighs a lot less- at least 20%, as much as 42% lighter. In fact, it has our competitor’s attention, so they’ll try to spin less weight, but customers who rely on Apache know all about our impressive traction. Simply put, we can go where others will not (including 4wd with automatic traction control) — see video: www.etsprayers.com/tractiontest Simple. We have remembered that this is a sprayer, not a space ship, so we design it so it is actually easy to use. Efficient. Most sprayers deliver about 70% of the engine’s power to the ground. We deliver 98%.

Horsepower costs a lot of money.

On average our 1,000 gallon unit uses

3.3 gallons of fuel per hour, and our 750 gallon unit uses 2.8 gallons per hour.

Apache’s warranty is unrivaled.

Every Apache comes with a 5-year limited warranty including 1st year bumper-to-bumper (same coverage available in year two for $2,000) and includes a free end-of-first-season inspection through our Guardian™ plan.

Quiet smooth ride. Our flex-frame with patented hydraulic suspension includes a c-channel and pivoting front axle for lower wear and tear.

Our double paned glass, extra-thick sound deadening floor mats and special cab mounting system translate to about 70 dB’s at 2300 RPM’s.

About ET. We are a private company engaged solely in the manufacture of sprayers based in Mooresville, Indiana. No one has stock options, so we are focused on what matters — you, the customer, instead of quarterly earnings and the stock price. When you call us you will get a real person who can answer your question.

Act now.

We are careful and conservative and normally sell out all of our production capacity soon after the launch. The best time to buy to get best price and availability is now.

NEW PRODUCT | BIOMASS

Better biomass burner inventor’s latest idea Efficient combustion units | The natural gas unit produces three million BTUs — enough to heat 50 homes

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — A two-stage patented process is behind the better biomass burn at Triple Green Energy, according to Manitoba inventor Raymond Dueck.

An initial combustion temperature of close to 500 C occurs in an enclosed area during the drying, pyrolysing and oxidizing stage. Ash is collected and automatically removed by an auger.

A secondary combustion of the gases collected from the initial burn reaches 1,000 C — hot enough to melt the silica in wheat straw, switchgrass and similar biomass feed stocks.

“The second burn is sometimes called a gasifier. We call it a closecoupled combustion,” Dueck said.

The after-burner meets standards

RAYMOND DUECK MANITOBA INVENTOR

set out by Ontario’s Ministry of Environment for burning hazardous and municipal waste and similar standards in other jurisdictions.

The silica and potassium settle into a removable tray that requires periodic cleaning. Once cooled, the material looks like obsidian — the rock made by volcanic action.

“As far as we know, we’re the only ones who have a silica collection system,” Dueck said.

His combustion units are large. The TGE3000 kicks out three million

BTUs, enough to heat 50 homes or 300,000 sq. feet of shop space. The TGE6000 has twice the capacity.

There’s also the smaller TGE1000 available.

He said one of the units has been installed in Estonia, one of the Balkan states. A second unit is going to an Alberta greenhouse.

While natural gas prices are currently low, the units do make sense in locations where only propane or fuel oil is available or when heating bills are $30,000 and higher, Dueck said.

“There are quite a few people who are interested. We have one customer who wants to combine our system with an electricity generator. We estimate it will pay for itself in about 24 months.”

Dueck also markets anaerobic digestion systems for dead stock.

Most of the steel, cylindrical vessels,

which develop an internal temperature from 70 to 80 C, have gone to swine operations.

Now he’s expanding into the medical marijuana industry. One of his smaller four-by-12 foot BioRoters is being shipped to WeedMD at Aylmer, Ont. It’s to be housed in a ventilated location at the former Imperial Tobacco factory that Dueck owns.

“There is another operator who’s interested. He’s looking at a fourby-40 foot unit.”

Waste plant material is to be composted by mixing it a nitrogen source, such as a small amount of manure.

The idea is to complete denature the waste.

Dueck’s creative nature runs in his family. His father, Willie Dueck, 91, held patents. So did his grandparents.

So there is little wonder that Dueck invented a handy, household shop-

ping list system at the age of eight.

“I tried to get my dad to underwrite the patent but he wouldn’t do it.”

The pair would later join forces.

Both hold patents on the carpet carousel and cutting system used by Home Depot locations and Dueck has the patent for the bike racks used

by Wal-Mart.

“When I joined my dad’s machine shop there were 16 employees and 10 years later there were 160.”

Dueck said he often gets ideas late at night, sometimes waking up with a solution to a problem.

“Some people would say it is inspiration; that God is talking to me at night. I don’t know if that’s a good answer but it is one answer.”

Dueck and his wife and business partner Martha and his father live in St. Adolphe, Man. Dueck also makes grain bins at Vivanue Manufacturing at Aylmer.

U.S. CORN | UNAPPROVED GM STRAIN

China’s corn rejections cost companies $427 million, says industry group LONDON (Reuters) — China has rejected nearly 1.45 million tonnes of U.S. corn shipments since late last year, according to a U.S. grain industry association.

The National Grain and Feed Association estimates that China’s rejection of genetically modified corn has cost grain companies $427 million in lost sales and re-routed shipments.

China began rejecting cargoes in November after detecting Syngenta’s unapproved MIR162 strain in incoming shipments.

The industry group, which bases its number on data from exporting companies, says exports of corn and related products from the United States to China since January are down 85 percent from the same

period last year.

China is the third-largest buyer of U.S. corn and has approved 15 GM corn varieties for import.

Syngenta’s MIR162 has been awaiting approval since an application was submitted in March 2010, although it has been mixed in with other varieties since China started to import U.S. corn in 2011.

Rejections of the Syngenta strand have affected the price of corn and soybeans on the global market, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for farmers, the report says.

Grain companies have been frustrated by what they say is an opaque process of approving and rejecting GM crop strains in the world’s fastest

growing corn market.

Soybean prices have been under pressure after news April 10 that Chinese importers have defaulted on at least 500,000 tonnes of U.S. and Brazilian soybean cargoes worth around $300 million, the biggest in a decade, as buyers struggle to get credit amid losses in processing beans.

ALBERTA WATER | MILK RIVER WATERSHED

SOYBEANS | ORGANIZATION

Watershed councils fear plan lacks details

Soybean industry plans national organization

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MILK RIVER, Alta. — The South Saskatchewan Regional Plan is in its final stages of development, but some Alberta watershed councils have concerns about what it may contain.

The Milk River Watershed Council is in the process of finalizing its own integrated watershed management plan, which it expects will be integrated into the SSRP. However, council chair John Ross said the broad scope of the SSRP makes him wonder how all regional concerns and requirements will be addressed.

“They are covering everything from Calgary right down to the (U.S.) border. It’s huge and there is a lot of variation,” he told the council’s April 10 annual meeting.

“We have 80 percent of the endangered species in the province in our watershed.”

The latter point is a concern because the SSRP draft plan lacks specifics on protecting biodiversity. Ferruginous hawks, Sprague’s pipits, loggerhead shrikes, sage grouse, western silvery minnow and east slopes sculpin are among the endangered species found in the Milk River watershed.

“In the SSRP, they’re lumping the Bow, the Oldman, the southeast

watershed and us all together in one plan, so unless they can come up with regions, it’s definitely not going to be fair from one region to the next,” said Ross.

“I’m not sure how they’re going to deal with that, but we see it as a real problem and a real shortcoming of the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan. All we can do is put forward what we think is best for our area and hopefully they will take that into account.”

The Oldman Watershed Council has also expressed concerns about the broad scope of the SSRP. At its annual meeting earlier this year, executive director Shannon Frank said the plan lacks details in its priorities.

The SSRP is the second regional land use plan in a provincial government process designed to set out an approach for managing land and natural resources.

Challenges identified in the South Saskatchewan watershed include: • water security • expanding communities • sensitive habitats and species at risk • infrastructure needs • maintaining agricultural land base • tourism growth • managing recreation • resource development • sustainable forests

Soy Canada in works | The time is right for researchers, exporters, crushers and grower groups to collaborate and develop a unified voice, says export official

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canada’s soybean industry could have a new national organization by this fall.

Grower associations, exporters and crushers are developing the mandate and role of Soy Canada, which will become the industry’s national and international voice.

“We’re looking at soybean acres (and) the potential to expand right across the country,” said Dave Buttenham, secretary-manager of the Canadian Soybean Exporters’ Association.

“We feel the time is right to create this organization that can adequately represent all segments of the industry and all geographical areas.”

A soybean industry steering committee has been working on a template for the new organization for the past several months. Soy Canada will begin recruiting members once the document is finalized.

“The goal is to get people to start committing to sign on to this fledgling group starting in the very near future, in the next 30 days,” said

Francois Labelle, interim executive director of the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association.

Labelle said exporters, life science companies, soybean crushers and grower organizations are collaborating on Soy Canada.

“There’s a lot of people at the table, at the moment,” he said.

“We’ve been talking with the Grain Farmers of Ontario, we’ve been talking with Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Association … the producers in Quebec and the producers in the Atlantic provinces. Alberta is involved as well.”

Canadian soybean acres have increased dramatically over the last decade as farmers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan embrace the crop: from 2.9 million in 2005 to 4.5 million last year.

Buttenham said Soy Canada will likely have four primary roles: • government relations and market access • building the profile of the industry, within Canada and internationally • co-ordination of research and innovation • market development

“Compared to other crops that have a national voice … soybeans don’t have that,” Labelle said.

“There’s no one addressing, in any organized way, issues with market access or MRLs (maximum residue limits),” he said.

“Even some of the funding (for) research projects that are done under things like Growing Forward 2 are not done in an organized fashion by one group.”

Buttenham said Soy Canada isn’t based on the Canola Council of Canada model.

“I wouldn’t say we’re paralleling anything. We’re building something we feel fits the soybean industry,” he said.

“There comes some synergy with pulling all segments of the industry together, from across Canada, to look at issues related to soybeans both domestically and internationally.”

He said the new organization could be operational in six months.

“Should this proceed and we get adequate buy in from all segments of the industry, we would be looking at the fall of 2014 to try and get the new Soy Canada up and running.”

Bad winter weather dampens DuPont farm sales Three percent overall revenue drop | Agriculture business fell six percent, which is the first decline in 10 quarters (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; DuPont has reported a steeper-than-expected three percent fall in quarterly revenue as severe winter in North America delayed seeding.

Sales in the agriculture business, which is DuPontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest, fell six percent, the first decline in 10 quarters, because of lower demand for seeds and herbicides in North America and lower corn plantings in Brazil and North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Impact of the weather pushed a lot of the agriculture demand out of the quarter and into the second quarter,â&#x20AC;?

lyst James Sheehan said.

Operating earnings fell five percent to $1.44 billion in the agriculture business.

However, DuPont backed its fullyear 2014 operating earnings of $4.20 to $4.45 per share.

Operating earnings in the first quarter increased in five of DuPontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven units, including industrial biosciences, nutrition and health and performance materials businesses.

DuPont is hiving off its performance chemicals unit as part of a strategy to move into less volatile

valued but did not spell out how he seeks to increase value. DuPont unveiled a $5 billion share repurchase program earlier this year.

A number of chemical companies, including rival Dow Chemical Co., have come under investor pressure to separate less stable businesses and raise shareholder returns.

Hedge fund titan Daniel Loebâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Third Point LLC has urged Dow Chemical to spin off its lucrative but slow-growing petrochemical unit and focus on specialty materials.

Smaller rival Chemtura Corp. has

said it would sell its agrichemicals business to Platform Specialty Products Corp. for $1 billion to focus on specialty chemicals.

Net income attributable to DuPont dropped to $1.44 billion, or $1.54 per share, in the quarter ended March 31, from $3.35 billion, or $3.58 per share, a year earlier.

Operating earnings were $1.58 per share, in line with analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; estimates, according to Thomson Reuters.

Revenue fell nearly three percent to $10.13 billion, missing market estimates of $10.45 billion.

World Trade Organization expecting growth in global goods trade to increase 4.7 percent this year GENEVA (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The World Trade Organization has raised its 2014 forecast for growth in global goods trade to 4.7 percent.

It does not expect a return to the historical trend level of 5.3 percent until 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If GDP (gross domestic product) forecasts hold true, we expect a broad-based but modest upturn in the volume of world trade in 2014 and further consolidation of this growth in 2015,â&#x20AC;? WTO director general Roberto Azevedo said.

The 2014 forecast represents a brighter picture than the 4.5 percent growth that the WTO expected when it made its last forecast in September.

However, it is still gloomier than its predictions a year ago because the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic recovery took longer to materialize than expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;EU demand has been weighing on world imports for the past couple of years but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to turn around,â&#x20AC;? said WTO economist Coleman Nee. Added Azevedo: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be watching very closely to see if the recovery in the EU disappoints.â&#x20AC;?

He said it was unclear if trade had permanently stopped growing at twice the speed of gross domestic product, which had been the trend until the global economic crisis.

He said 80 percent of the protectionist policies implemented since 2008 were still in place but he hoped they would be removed as economic growth improved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on the level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not even nearly close to the level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that we had after the 1929 crisis. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s measurable and regrettable.â&#x20AC;?

The WTO does not forecast trade in services, but said that the dollar value of global services exports grew six percent to $4.6 trillion in 2013, against two percent growth in 2012.

businesses. The unit has weighed on results since 2012 because of weak prices for a white pigment used in toothpastes, sunscreens and a host of other products.

Operating earnings in the business, which also makes materials used in non-stick cookware and refrigerants, fell 20 percent in the quarter.

Analysts have speculated that the sale of the unit was at the behest of Nelson Peltz, whose Trian Fund Management disclosed a stake in DuPont last summer.

MACHINERY | PLANTERS

Individual rate and row control for older planters Replacing mechanical drives | Dial in the exact prescription with electric motors

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Corn growers who want individual row control without the expense of a new planter can make it happen with an aftermarket electric motor drive.

The Graham Electric Planter Drive (EPD) is available as a retrofit for all brands and model years of planters sold in North America, including finger type and vacuum type.

The modification was invented by Jerry Graham and his son, Toby, who farm 2,000 acres of irrigated corn in eastern Colorado. They plant the crop with a Monosem twin row planter, which they modified six years ago for electric drive.

The family also sells the Graham Command rate controller, which is designed specifically for the electric motor drive system.

Corn planters are built in multi-

ples of four row units, so the Graham system is ordered in multiples of four.

Each EPD kit includes four weatherproof electric drive motors, one control board and the wire harness necessary to tie it all together. A control board is built to manage four rows.

The kit also includes the interface between the electric motor and seed plate shaft. Each four-row kit is custom assembled to fit the customer’s specific planter.

One kit sells for $4,000 and the Graham Command rate controller is an additional $1,300.

The Graham EPD is available for single or double row planters. Most single row planters require no drive chains or sprockets in the upgrade.

An additional alternator may be required for larger planters.

“Individual row control with elec-

tric drive lets you do very precise variable rate fertilizer and plant population,” said Toby Graham.

Each row is configured by the Graham Command rate controller, he added.

“Basically, each row in our system is its own individual planter, based on its geographical position on your prescription map.

You can write a prescription map with different plant populations, even on a row by row basis if you want,” he said.

“It’s really handy for guys planting male and female rows at the same time. You don’t have to change sprockets or mess around changing seed plates. If you have our rate controller, you just change the population on the prescription map.”

Graham said the EPD will work with any rate controller that has section controls and a PWL style

outlet. The interface boards that he builds work only with PWL plugs, he added.

“We designed it so our interface board fools the rate controller into thinking there’s a hydraulic drive and clutches all hooked up,” he said.

“We calculate how fast the rate controller will spin the hydraulic drive, and that’s the r.p.m. we make the electric motor spin. And it’s an instant response.”

There are two levels of controllers: GrahamCommandLight only does plant population management, while GrahamCommandPro does plant population plus turn compensation and individual row prescription planting.

For more information, contact Toby Graham at 303-885-7428 or visit www.grahamelectricplanter. com.

Graham EPD kits use the same components for every planter sold in North America. The interface board and wiring harness are designed specifically for each planter. Left to right, CaseIH, John Deere and White planters use the same motor, shown at right. The kits are sold in sets of four row units for $4,000 including the interface board. | JERRY GRAHAM PHOTOS.

Before returning to the farm to settle down, Toby Graham was chief electronics engineer on the 400 m.p.h. Team Winston, a top fuel dragster that has won three National Hot Rod Association championships.

Graham is no stranger to fast and accurate data collections.

When designing the electronics package on the Graham Electric Planter Drive, he made sure that everything happens in nanoseconds.

“On Team Winston, we had developed some astounding advanced data collection systems for the race car, and I was able to incorporate some of that technology into our rate controller,” he said.

“Our control algorithm is completely close-loop, meaning extreme accuracy and instant adjustment to population rate changes. It has an error of 0.4 percent and reacts to rate changes in less than 0.2 of a second.

At that speed, it’s pretty much instantaneous.”

Graham recalls the day he and his father, Jerry, first thought about electric drive metering for their Monosem. His said his father had wanted to install variable rate, and they agreed that electric motors would be the best way to do it because of their accuracy and quick response. The added benefit would be control on a row-by-row basis rather than section control.

“But then we figured there was no way electric motors would survive the rain, the sun, fertilizers and diesel fuel, dust and everything else. So we dropped the subject,” he said.

“Later that day, we were out checking irrigation sprinklers. And there they were. Ten electric motors on each sprinkler, year round, and they almost never needed service. So now we’ve had Electric Planter Drive for six years and it’s been virtually trouble free.

“I attribute the reliability to the fact that we only buy components made in the United States. You don’t see any parts from China or the Pacific Rim on our kits. These weatherproof electric motors are rated for 5,000 hours and I have no doubt they’ll last that long and longer.”

AGRONOMICS | WEED CONTROL

Best registered herbicides for dandelion suppression PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR

W

e are starting to see the result of a couple of growing seasons in which dandelions have been poorly dealt with in cropland.

A large number of calls to agronomists this spring have been about dandelions and what to do ahead of seeding. Producers are now asking what they can do about in-crop solutions.

Let’s take a step back and talk about dandelions in general.

They are long-lived perennials, which form a crown that divides to form numerous branches. Each plant can produce 50 to 175 seeds per head, and a single plant can produce up to 20,000 viable seeds. The seeds are easily blown in the wind.

Dandelions are among the toughest weeds to control in a direct seeding system. Seedlings can quickly establish with the good soil moisture conditions characteristic of low soil disturbance planting systems.

Dandelion seeds germinate on the soil surface at 10 to 20 C, usually in June or July. The seeds germinate best in full light on a bare soil surface.

Seedlings quickly develop a taproot and they can have a well developed crown by fall or early spring.

They are especially troublesome in a direct seeding system. Without tillage, producers have to rely on good crop competition and the timely application of systemic herbicides.

Options are available for controlling dandelion seedlings, but mature dandelions are much harder to control. Remember, a mature dandelion didn’t get there in one season and it will probably take more than one season to control.

Farmers have four opportunities to control dandelions during the year: pre-seeding, in-crop, pre-harvest and post-harvest.

A variety of products can control dandelions, depending on the crop.

The fall is the best time to control dandelions.

Glyphosate, alone or in combination with products such as Express, Express PRO, florasulam (PrePass) or 2,4-D, will provide good control.

Rates will depend on the size of the dandelion plants.

Cropping restrictions may exist for next spring, depending on the product used and when it was applied.

The spring ahead of seeding is the next best time.

Products such as glyphosate alone or in combination with Express, Express PRO, Inferno DUO or florasulam (PrePass) will provide control in good growing conditions.

Time will have to be allowed for

some spring growth of the plants.

Saflufenacil (Heat) and carfentazone (Aim/Cleanstart) are also labelled for spring germinating dandelions. They add to the control of overwintered plants, but the rate of glyphosate will be the major determining factor on the success. Again, the rate required and the control will depend on the size of the dandelion plants.

Pre-harvest is the third best time.

However, dandelions seem to go through a period of dormancy that lasts from early July to the end of August. This is especially true in a dry July and August.

usually do a good job on smaller dandelions.

Dicamba-containing Dyvel, Dyvel DSp and Tracker XP (Target) as well as Dichlorprop – D and Express Pack do not list dandelions on their labels, but they provide good top growth control of large dandelions.

These products will do a reasonable job on dandelions in good growing conditions like we have this year.

Pre-harvest applications seem to be more effective on dandelions if done in September. This is the exact opposite to controlling perennial sowthistle, which appears to be more effective in early August.

In-crop is the least effective timing for control.

Most products control only seedlings germinating in the spring. The only exception to this is Spectrum, which lists control of over-wintering rosettes up to 15 centimetres in diameter and suppression of larger dandelions.

Propane injection gives turbo boost Propane burns better | More power translates into less diesel fuel and cleaner burning equipment

Using fuel injection components that Maxquip originally designed for propane powered cars, the DieselFlex system designed for ag implements is capable of propane injection proportional to turbocharger pressures up to 70 p.s.i. | MAXQUIP PHOTO

Conventional engineering uses the turbocharger to help the engine produce extra power.

However, Maxquip from Alberta has developed technology to enhance the turbo boost with propane.

DieselFlex, its diesel-propane injection system, injects propane vapour into the incoming fresh air stream after the air cleaner and before the turbo intake. The original diesel pump and injectors continue to function as usual, whether or not propane is blended into the combustion chamber.

MaxQuip said its propane injection system increases available horsepower by 20 to 25 percent while reducing overall fuel consumption by 10 to 15 percent.

The company said pumping propane into a diesel engine works because diesel fuel generally does not burn completely in the combustion chamber.

As a result, oxygen and unburned diesel particulate go up the stack as smoke, which represents wasted energy.

The smoke is also a visual indication that pollutants are going into the atmosphere.

Propane molecules are smaller than diesel molecules so they burn more efficiently, causing the diesel molecules in the combustion flash to also burn more efficiently.

Injecting the right volume of propane into the combustion chamber at the right time causes the combustion process to create more power.

More power translates into a reduced need for diesel fuel.

The side effect is lower particulate emissions in the exhaust, said Maxquip representative Lance Hartman.

“We’re seeing the biggest DieselFlex benefit in the ag sector because these engines are running so close to full load for extended periods,” said Hartman.

“Our tests show that engine oil stays cleaner with the addition of propane, simply because the blended fuel burns more efficiently. There are fewer hydrocarbons left in the combustion chamber. That should translate into lower maintenance costs and longer engine life.

“We hear comments from farmers that it’s hard for them to see their equipment out in big fields if it’s got DieselFlex. When the propane is running, the particulate matter and black smoke disappear. There’s no visible trace of where the machine might be.”

He said working the engine harder does not push it to the point of black smoke. When the engine works harder, the turbo also works harder, which signals the DieselFlex controller to increase the propane flow.

Hartman said adding propane to a diesel engine is no easy feat because propane is difficult to ignite unless the propane-air ratio is perfect.

The ignition point is also touchy.

LANCE HARTMAN MAXIQUIP

Propane won’t self ignite under extreme pressure, such as the 20:1 compression ratio typically found in a diesel combustion chamber. Propane needs a spark or an external source of ignition to get it going.

The propane is injected into the airstream before the intercooler, where it is cooled. It’s then forced into the combustion chamber on the intake stroke.

The diesel fuel ignites as usual on the combustion stroke, and the propane vapour molecules ignite slightly after the diesel.

“We often have guys ask us if we can compress the propane vapour so it can be injected into the com-

bustion chamber instead of into the airflow,” he said.

“But that would defeat the purpose.

If you compress propane, it turns back into a liquid. We need the propane to be a vapour if it’s going to burn all unused diesel in the combustion chamber.”

Hartman said new diesel engines have a lot of low-end torque. They don’t use much of the turbocharger if they’re not under load. If they don’t use it, then the DieselFlex sensors will not trigger the propane injection system.

“That’s especially true in highway rigs,” he said.

“If a truck is running empty, the engines today have enough torque to propel themselves down the road without the turbo. So if they’re running our DieselFlex system, that also means they’re not getting the benefit of propane when the engine isn’t pulling hard. Our alternative fuels division is trying to put just a little propane into the airflow, even when an engine isn’t under load, so the owner can benefit from having the DieselFlex in all conditions.”

Maxquip was one of the first companies to introduce multi-fuel systems so that gasoline-powered cars

could run on either gasoline or propane.

However, those vehicles ran on either one or the other. They could not blend gasoline with propane.

Hartman said automobile technology allowed Maxquip to move into a true blended fuel system with propane and diesel.

In fact, the special injectors that the company developed for gasoline engines are the same injectors now used in the DieselFlex system to pump propane into the fresh air flow.

“All the DieselFlex kits we have now are for pre-DEF engines, but it’s obvious that DieselFlex can do some of the work of DEF,” he said.

“We don’t know for sure yet if DieselFlex can totally replace DEF, but it certainly can reduce the amount of DEF that’s needed.”

Hartman said the retail price of DieselFlex kits varies, depending on the vehicle. Highway tractors are considerably more expensive than farm machines because of their complexity. Most kits start at about $6,000.

By the time Uli Gehrer pencilled out the economic benefit of his DieselFlex prototype, he knew the propane kits would go on his combine and next tractor.

The farmer from Niverville, Man., installed the kit on his John Deere 8400T five years ago, shortly after Maxquip started installing its prototype kits on highway tractors.

Maxquip had not equipped a farm tractor at that point, but wanted to try it, and Gehrer happened to be in the right place at the right time.

The only condition was that he had to put together a detailed economic analysis. Not a problem for Gehrer.

Before propane, his John Deere tractor consumed 12 gallons per hour of diesel while pulling a 37 foot Salford

tillage unit with an anhydrous ammonia nurse tank at 7.5 m.p.h.

Once the propane kit was installed, the same tractor pulled the same tillage unit and the anhydrous tank, but now the ground speed was 10 m.p.h.

Diesel consumption dropped to 8.1 gallons per hour. Propane consumption was slightly less than two gallons per hour.

Gehrer saved 3.9 gallons of diesel per hour but burned 1.9 gallons of propane per hour, for a net fuel saving of two gallons per hour. Gehrer figured he saved $10.26 per hour in fuel, which was a 23 percent fuel saving.

However, the extra power was what really stood out.

“Oh, you really feel that extra power.

I’m guessing we got about a 20 percent increase in horsepower, probably an extra 70 horsepower,” Gehrer said.

“When they sized the propane injectors, it was for a highway tractor.

I told them that was too much horsepower for my tractor. You couldn’t run an engine like that day in and day out. So we put in some smaller injectors and that was just about right.

“I find the higher load you run, the more fuel you save percentage wise.

It’s a linear relationship. As you get more boost pressure, you get more propane. My most significant fuel savings are when I run it at the upper end of the power range, like in a tillage operation.”

Gehrer said he had a problem with one of the electronic controls on the prototype in the first week after installation.

However, there were no further issues once it was replaced.

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA, Neb. — New livestock codes of practice recommend pain relief for castration and tail docking, but few approved products are available.

More pain relief medications are likely to be approved in the future, but in the meantime veterinarians may have to rely on non steroidal anti inflammatories (NSAIDS) or extra label use.

“If you keep the inflammation down, the pain isn’t going to be there,” said Dr. Roy Lewis, an Alberta veterinarian and part-time technical services vet for Merck Animal Health.

“As a vet I am all for it, but there is also a limit,” he said.

Products such as Metacam and Banamine are available, but in some cases products may have to be administered differently than what the label prescribes and different withdrawal periods observed. More research is coming, but the science of pain management is a new field.

“The pharmaceutical companies could come up with these things, but who is going to pay for them?” he said.

New voluntary codes of practice recommend pain relief for various procedures. For example, the hog code of practice recommends that castration performed after 10 days of age be done with anesthetic and analgesic to help control pain. By 2016, all castration will have to be done with analgesics.

Scientists know animals feel pain and that analgesics provide relief, said Donald Lay of the U.S. department of Agriculture. Neurology, etiology, immunology, epidemiology and stress physiology specialists from the department’s livestock behaviour unit are looking at improved animal welfare and current practices.

“We know giving analgesics is beneficial and the public says, ‘why don’t you just do it,’ ” he told a pain management session held during the National Institute of Animal Agriculture held in Omaha April 1-4.

“That really puts the producer in the middle because they don’t have options for pain mitigation because there are no analgesics approved,” Lay said.

Dr. Frank Lewis, a veterinarian with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, said regulators question the safety and effectiveness of these drugs.

They are unsure of withdrawal periods or if there are unsafe residue levels.

“If there is an unknown safety concern, we can’t vouch for it,” he said.

Lewis agreed that products are needed to alleviate suffering. Some extra label use of analgesics and anesthetics is permitted under U.S. rules.

He said producers need a strong relationship with their veterinarians, who must oversee the use of the product and withdrawal times and minimize risk of unsafe residues.

“Technically, it is a vet-client relationship. As far as the legal authority, it gets a little bit tricky,” Lewis said.

“Any food that contains residue or any animal that was treated in an illegal way is considered adulterated under our law.”

Pain is a complex reflex because individuals feel things differently. It is hard to understand how an animal feels pain, so researchers have to depend on other external factors such as behaviour.

Lay said certain procedures leave lingering effects that could be compared to phantom pain experienced by human amputees. A neuroma, which is a collection or swelling of nerves, can form at the end of the injury and be painful even after healing takes places.

Neuromas are sensitive to heat and cold, and Lay said chickens with trimmed beaks or pigs and dairy cattle with docked tails may have chronic pain.

It is a balance. Cannibalism among chickens is common so beak trimming is done to keep them from pecking one another to death.

“This is especially a concern in an open housing situation where they are altogether,” he said.

Beak trimming is painful no matter how it is done. United Egg Producers adopted infrared laser beak trimming in 2010 because it was deemed the best of a painful list of options.

Performance of laying hens is the same whether beaks were trimmed or not. People say birds are all right if they are laying eggs, but it has been documented that hens with broken keel bones still lay eggs.

Birds may fracture their keel bones when they jump down from perches after moving into aviaries.

which are often culled when they struggle to walk.

Lay said loose sow housing will likely exacerbate the lameness problem. A USDA project theorized that exercised sows would have fewer incidences of lameness because their bone density and muscular weight would increase compared to control sows.

This was not the case because many sows have premature osteo-arthritis. Researchers e speculate they are growing so fast they are not remodelling bone and cartilage correctly.

Newborn piglets undergo routine but stressful procedures such as castration, teeth clipping, tail docking, ear notching or ear tagging.

Research shows that these procedures are less stressful if they are done quickly and accurately.

Researchers are also studying humane euthanization.

Tyson Foods banned killing young pigs with blunt force trauma in January.

An alternative is carbon dioxide in a chamber, but it appears to be painful.

A two stage system that sedates the piglets first and then exposes them to the toxic gas is better.

Lameness is another common problem among dairy cows and sows,

Administering painkillers before disbudding benefits calf, producer, public relations

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The first video shows three people disbudding the vestigial horns on a young dairy calf. The calf struggles against the handlers, tries to throw its head and then sags to the floor.

The second video shows one person doing the same procedure. The calf stands still, docile and calm.

The difference between the two

videos was administration of the painkiller lidocaine before the disbudding took place.

Dr. Ed Pajor, a University of Calgary professor in veterinary medicine, showed the videos to a group of Lethbridge area dairy producers April 11 at a calf management workshop.

“I think the idea that animals don’t experience pain is something that we really need to just discard,” he said.

“It’s clear animals experience pain.

The issue is what you do about it.

How do you do it effectively, efficiently and in a cost effective way?”

Pajor is recognized internationally for his work on animal welfare and served on the scientific review committee in developing three of the livestock codes.

The dairy code requires that pain control be used when dehorning or disbudding dairy animals.

Pajor said a recent survey of 84

Alberta dairy producers showed 34 percent use pain relief on animals when dehorning or disbudding.

Injecting a painkiller around the horn bud before disbudding can change a three-person job into a oneperson job.

“Painful procedures do not need to be so much of a pain for you or for the animal,” said Pajor.

“That’s a three-way win. It’s a win for the producers in terms of the

amount of work that they have to do and how hard they have to struggle to get that process done. It’s a win for the animal in terms of what they experience.”

Pajor said the third win is producers’ ability to tell people how they dehorn or disbud animals with pain control and animal welfare in mind.

The dairy code recommends that disbudding occur before calves reach three weeks of age.

LIVESTOCK DISEASES | CONTROL MEASURES

PED virus demonstrates importance of biosecurity ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

Good biosecurity in all livestock sectors can limit disease impacts

T

he spread of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus through Canadian hog farms demonstrates the importance of strong biosecurity protocols for all livestock operations.

Hog producers have some of the strictest biosecurity protocols of any livestock sector in Canada and they are trying to continue improving their biosecurity practices and emergency response planning in an effort to control the spread of PED. The disease was first diagnosed last May in the United States, and it continues to pave a path of destruction through the country’s pig operations.

Now it is spreading in Canada.

The virus poses no risk to human health or food safety, but it is a devastating disease that causes severe acute diarrhea in all ages of pigs and high death rates.

Huge numbers of virus particles are shed in feces. A cross contamination of feed ingredients and livestock trucks is likely involved.

Collaborations between industry and provincial and federal authorities are attempting to control the spread of the disease through enhanced biosecurity practices.

Biosecurity can be described as all of the management practices that prevent the movement of diseasecausing agents between and within livestock operations.

It involves almost all aspects of farm management, including environmental and manure management.

We can develop biosecurity plans for countries, regions or individual farms to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

Imagine if a virus such as PED emerged within the beef or dairy cattle population in North America.

The results could be catastrophic, and cattle producers’ biosecurity practices would be severely challenged.

The structure of the cattle industry and the greater exposure to the environment makes biosecurity more challenging to implement in cattle herds, but it does not make it any less important.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has worked with producer organizations, provincial-territorial governments and academia to establish national biosecurity standards for most of the country’s livestock industries.

The beef and dairy industries have documents describing how to implement biosecurity practices on individual farms.

Farm workers, family members, service providers and anyone who conducts business with or visits your farm should be made aware of the importance of biosecurity.

Some of the major management

areas that the cattle biosecurity standards focus on include: • animal health management • animal additions and movement • premises management and sanitation, which is a focus of the dairy document • management of the movement of people, vehicles, equipment and tools • education, planning and record keeping The documents are well worth reading for all cattle producers. They can be found online on the CFIA website.

Good biosecurity practices are just as important for cattle producers as they are for hog and poultry produc-

ers. We rely on biosecurity to protect our animals and our livelihood.

Biosecurity protocols are usually fairly simple practices that need to be done right every day of the year. It is always difficult to ascertain the benefits of biosecurity when there are no major outbreaks occurring, but good biosecurity will usually result in less disease and healthier, more productive livestock.

If a new disease emerges, we will be more prepared to deal with limiting its impact.

DISEASE | RISK AND PREVENTION

Virus survival time unknown factor in risk assessment Method of travel | Viruses can be airborne or travel on farm equipment, in food and livestock feed, or in live animals or insects

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA , Neb. — U.S. officials admit they were not prepared for the devastation of porcine endemic diarrhea, which has killed millions of baby pigs since last May. Several viruses are circulating, and how they got to North America is a puzzle.

“We don’t know how they got into the country, but we do know these are Chinese related viruses,” said veterinarian Dr. Paul Sundberg, vicepresident of science and technology

for the National Pork Board.

Other hog and poultry viruses have also originated in Southeast Asia and caused significant losses in North America.

“Let’s learn from history. If we got these others, what else might be coming?” he told the National Institute of Animal Agriculture conference held in Omaha April 1-4.

“If we know we are at risk from viruses coming into the country in some manner, let’s try to do an assessment of our risks for that and our preparation.”

Task forces comprising govern-

ment, industry, producers and commodity groups need to collaborate on surveillance and responses to reportable and non-regulatory diseases. Officials know the procedures for outbreaks such as foot-andmouth disease, but there is no framework for dealing with a virus like PED. A pork industry strategy group has been formed and weekly conference calls are held to share information for control.

No one is sure how some devastating animal diseases enter a country, but there are known pathways for

viruses to travel, said Lisa Ferguson, national director for policy and permitting services with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

A series of steps are used to track a disease’s travel itinerary.

The first thing to do when dealing with trading partners is to find out if a virus is present in a region. Next, determine if an infected or contaminated product is selected for export to the United States. Finally, learn if a virus can survive processing or long trips in a container.

U.S. inspectors look for certification or permits when a product arrives, which can be checked further if something seems amiss.

The standard practice is to rate risk of transmission.

Negligible risk means it is so rare that it does not merit consideration.

Low risk is rare, medium means the event occurs regularly, and high risk indicates it occurs often.

There are also specific pathways that a disease can use to travel around the world.

It could be airborne or hitch a ride on animal tissues and fluid, conveyances and containers, farm equipment, food and feed and garbage.

Live animals may act as vectors, including livestock or germplasm, humans, micro-organisms, insects and rodents.

Feed ingredients could carry disease, although many products are processed or rendered, such as blood meal and plasma, other protein meals and fats. The origin of these can be hard to trace, and APHIS does not test them for disease “In general, the rendering process is going to inactivate viruses,” Ferguson said.

Trade data shows the U.S. has not imported blood products, she added.

Rendered products for feed preparations may come from Canada, Mexico and Germany. Fats primarily come from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Some ingredients are imported from China and India.

Forages, grain, byproducts, fats, oil and vitamins arrive primarily from Canada, Mexico and Argentina.

There are some restrictions on plant products because of the possibility of transmitting foot-and-mouth disease on straw and hay.

“It is unknown with many of these other viruses what is the virus survival time on a plant meal or pellets,” Ferguson said.

Small amounts of milk and milk derivatives also come in, but they are considered of negligible risk because of the processing that is required.

Animal manure as a feed ingredient is a potential route, but the U.S. does not allow it in for the purpose of feeding. For example, processed manure is used as a feed ingredient in Chinese aquaculture.

Microbial cultures such as amino acids, minerals, vitamins, probiotics and B vitamins are manufactured through an industrial process, and it is considered to be a production failure if there is contamination.

Chemical synthesis or mined materials, vitamins, anticaking agents, colourants and minerals are of negligible risk. Viruses cannot propagate without living animal cells, so contamination is unlikely to survive industrial processing.

Coggins tests help horse owners detect the disease early and prevent owners from taking sick horses to events where the disease can be spread further. |

Equine infectious anemia cases in Saskatchewan 2013 • Beaver River - 6

Horse owners struggle to contain deadly illness

• Loon Lake - 1 • Meadow Lake - 32

All horses racing in Saskatchewan’s Northwest Pony Chuckwagon and Chariot Association must be tested for the deadly equine infectious anemia before they will be allowed to race.

Darren Dyck, the association’s new president, said Coggins tests have been made mandatory for racehorses in an effort to halt spread of the disease.

“This is a deadly disease that needs controlling. We’re trying to be a leader in it,” said Dyck, who hopes other chuck wagon groups will make Coggins testing mandatory to help get rid of the disease.

Last year 89 horses tested positive for the disease in Saskatchewan and 27 in Alberta. Eighteen horses have already tested positive in Saskatchewan this year and three in Alberta. All horses testing positive must be euthanized or kept in permanent quarantine.

“It’s a real problem,” Dyck said.

The Eastern Pony Chuckwagon and Chariot Association made Coggins testing mandatory in 2012, which helped reduce the number of cases.

Betty Althouse, Saskatchewan’s chief veterinary officer, said mandatory testing helps catch the early cases before it spreads. The disease can infect up to 70 percent of the herd if left untreated.

Althouse said it’s not the first time horse groups have made Coggins

testing mandatory, but the challenge is keeping the momentum and continuing with the testing.

“It happens for a year of two and it dies. It does require more of a sustained effort,” she said.

The number of cases last year was up from 82 in 2012 but down from 102 in 2011.

There is no cure for EIA, and no vaccine is available.

Transmission occurs mainly through contaminated blood spread by horse flies, stable flies and deer flies. It can also be transferred through contaminated needles and the semen of an infected stallion.

Dyck said he lost two of his horses in the past three years to the disease and knows other racehorse owners who have lost up to 30 horses.

Northwestern Saskatchewan and northeastern Alberta are hot spots for the disease as well as parts of northern parts of British Columbia and the Yukon.

“People have got some really expensive horses that have got this disease,” Dyck said.

The horses are called pony chuck wagon and chariot horses but can be up to 15 hands high and usually have thoroughbred bloodlines.

“We all love our horses. No one wants to lose a good horse.”

One of the biggest barriers to eradicating the disease seems to be the cost of Coggins tests, which can range from $24 to $150 per head depending on the vet clinic, he said.

The Canadian Renewable Fuels Association has 2020 vision.

The association released its 19 page Evolution and Growth document last week, which sets out a plan that will take the industry through the end of the decade.

It includes six recommendations for provincial and federal governments on how they can support the biofuel sector.

“These are the pivot points that we think will be important for establishing a green energy superpower here in Canada,” said CRFA president Scott Thurlow.

One of the recommendations calls on Ottawa to raise the federal renewable diesel mandate by 0.5 percentage points a year until it reaches five percent by 2020, up from two percent today.

“We believe there is no technical impediment to increasing that level to five percent,” said Thurlow.

“There is no technical barrier, and anyone who says otherwise just needs to visit the great state of Minnesota just south of Manitoba, where they run five percent renewable diesel all year round.”

Bill Simpkins, spokesperson for the Canadian Fuels Association, representing Canada’s petroleum refiners, doesn’t understand what has changed since the federal government conducted an analysis a few years ago that determined two percent was the appropriate mandate.

“I’m not sure how they would justify (increasing the mandate) against what the federal government is saying,” he said.

Thurlow believes this is an ideal year to twist the arms of politicians because growers are expected to carry over 3.3 million tonnes of canola. A larger mandate would provide a nice home for some of that surplus.

The CRFA isn’t pushing for a boost in the ethanol mandate. In its previ-

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS ous vision document, which was released in 2010, the group said it would like to see a 10 percent national mandate, up from the five percent in place today. There is no mention of that in the new document.

Instead, the group is calling for increased investment in E20 and E30 infrastructure at the pumps. It wants government programs that would encourage the installation of equipment at gas stations capable of dispensing blends containing 20 or 30 percent ethanol.

“If a government proposes a 10 percent mandate, I would certainly support it, but I am dedicating my energy to ensure consumer choice for higher blends at the pumps rather than across the entire fuel pool,” said Thurlow.

Starting in 2017, North American automakers will be required to

improve their fuel economy under Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards. By 2025, they will be required to meet an average fuel economy standard of 54 miles per gallon across their entire fleet.

Thurlow said the best way to meet those fuel economy standards is to use high octane fuel in small compression engines, and E20 and E30 ethanol blends are the cheapest and cleanest way to boost octane levels in fuel.

He said ethanol is consistently cheaper than gasoline, so the higher blends would lower prices for consumers.

Simpkins said that is an overly simplistic analysis.

“Ethanol has about 30 percent less energy density than gasoline, so you have to fill up more often the more ethanol that you put into a vehicle,”

he said. “That has always been one of the big issues with ethanol. You just don’t go as far.”

Other elements of the CRFA’s action plan include supporting government policies that put a price on carbon, bridging the funding gap between biofuel innovation and development and exempting cellulosic ethanol from federal and provincial excise taxes of 25 to 30 cents per litre.

The group would also like to find an ally in Ottawa dedicated to building Canada’s bioeconomy.

“Right now, we have five or six departments that are all touching (the file). They all have their toe in, but there are none that are diving right into it,” said Thurlow.

“We need a champion in cabinet who can act as the driver for all of these industries.”

TRADE | SHIPMENT DEFAULTS

Massive soybean defaults loom as China buyers play hard ball RIZHAO, China (Reuters) — Chinese buyers may default on a further 1.2 million tonnes of soybeans worth $900 million that are being shipped from the United States and South America to avoid huge losses in a depressed local market.

Buyers have already walked away from at least 500,000 tonnes in recent weeks.

Trading firms have refused to make payments for about 20 shipments, said Shao Guorui, general manager of Shandong Sunrise Group, the country’s top buyer.

“Most of the cargoes were delivered by the seller before receiving letters of credit, and buyers are unwilling to pay now because they will suffer

massive losses,” said Shao.

The problem is weak demand for soymeal used in poultry feed due to bird flu outbreaks.

Shao said soymeal demand could fall 15 percent from year ago because farms are reluctant to restock poultry after heavy losses.

So many shipments at risk of a

default means Chinese buyers now have bargaining power.

“Most of the cargoes will eventually be sold to China. This will force sellers to renegotiate prices, which will benefit buyers,” said Gao Yanbin of Shanghai Shenkai Investment Co. Ltd. “If buyers cannot resolve the issue, they may also cancel future shipments.”

Shao estimated that the companies behind the 20 shipments had booked 80 to100 cargoes for delivery between April to July, most of which were sold

by Marubeni.

Some Chinese commodity buyers have previously threatened to default, or cancel cargoes, to force sellers to take lower prices.

CHARITABLE DONATIONS | TAX RELIEF

Tax benefits of donating life insurance policies, annuities MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

Rules surrounding donations of life insurance polices have changed

M

ore than 86,000 registered charities operate in Canada, which offers residents

opportunities to give back to society while also providing the benefits of tax relief.

But recently, the federal government and Canada Revenue Agency have become more vigilant in removing the registered status from organizations they feel are merely posing as charities and not fulfilling the requirements of registration.

Donating a life insurance policy used to qualify for a deduction in computing taxable income.

However, the government changed the Income Tax Act 15 years ago to provide relief in the form of a non-refundable tax credit.

To qualify for such relief, the life insurance policy must be absolutely

assigned to the registered charity and the charity must be the registered beneficiary of the policy.

The donor cannot have any continuing advantage from the policy except for the allowed tax advantage.

The amount of the gift is determined by calculating the fair market value of the policy, including cash

surrender value, policy loans and the state of health and life expectancy of the donor.

Accumulated dividends and interest that are also assigned to the charity add to the value of the donation.

Loans against the policy that the donor repays after assignment will also provide a tax credit, as will any premiums on the policy if the donor continues to pay them.

A donor can also structure a charitable gift to benefit the charity while at the same time providing an income stream for the donor.

For example, the donor provides a gift of $100,000 to a charity. The charity gets some of the money right away but uses the rest to buy an annuity

that pays the donor a guaranteed predetermined annual income.

The donor gets a charitable donation tax receipt for a portion of the lump sum gift in the year of the gift.

The donor also gets favourable tax treatment on the income from the annuity because it is a mix of principal and interest.

I recommend that potential donors consult with their financial or tax adviser on the best path for them before making a decision to donate to ensure that they and the charity receive the most benefit.

New app helps with cattle marketing

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Keeping track of livestock markets, prices and insurance got easier with a new smartphone app.

Canfax has released a free CFX Pro app to help livestock producers manage the increasing information needed to sell cattle.

Senior market analyst Brian Perillat said the free app has been downloaded 500 times since its release.

“The guys are certainly using it. The fact that people are wanting it is certainly positive for us,” said Perillat.

“It’s a pretty select crowd. We’re not going to have millions of them out there.”

The app allows producers to check the markets for live cattle futures, the Canadian dollar, basis levels, cattle price insurance and historic cost of production data.

The app is specially designed for the Canadian cattle industry, he said.

“It is hard for some people to relate to U.S markets and futures market and market information and make it useful to their Canadian operation.”

The app also has break-even calculators for buying calves, background or finishing animals. Producers can even project prices on newborn calves or feeders that will be sold months into the future.

Perillat said not everyone uses all the features of the new app. It’s a good introduction to a combination of market signals for people not used to following markets closely, he added.

“It’s designed to help them make decisions and have better and more timely market information.”

The app took three years to develop from an initial idea to its launch with good support from government and industry groups. The app is available for iPhone and older models of Blackberrys. It is not yet available for the latest Blackberry or Android phones.

Perillat said not every cattle producer will download the app because some still want market information in more traditional forms.

“We have a few that still get it by mail and others who keep pushing to get it faster and better.”
