Clubroot in resistant canola?

Erosion of resistance? | Researchers don’t know if it is a new virulent phenotype of clubroot

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The discovery of a possible new strain of clubroot in two fields in the Edmonton area is raising concerns that resistance is already breaking down in new clubroot resistant canola varieties.

Stephen Strelkov, a plant pathologist with the University of Alberta, said clubroot galls collected from fields in the Edmonton area and regrown and tested in the greenhouse are raising concern about a new virulent phenotype of clubroot.

“There were a couple cases where there actually was increased infectivity by those strains in the greenhouse conditions. It did suggest it was a new

virulent phenotype,” said Strelkov.

“What we don’t know is if this was a naturally occurring strain that may have existed or whether it was in fact an erosion of the resistance.”

Strelkov said researchers have just finished their greenhouse experiments and are conducting a second phase of experiments to learn more conclusively if what they’ve found is a new strain of clubroot or resistance erosion.

“Right now, in this case, I can’t conclude one way or the other. I don’t think we have enough data to make such a conclusion. Right now I will call it a couple fields of concern.”

Clubroot was first detected in a canola field in 2003 and has slowly spread to other parts of the Prairies.

The soil-borne disease creates galls, or clubs, on the roots of canola plants, which dramatically decrease yields.

Researchers were quick to come up with new clubroot resistant varieties to allow farmers to grow canola in the clubroot hot spots.

Many municipalities and counties had implemented bylaws allowing canola to be grown on infected land only every five to seven years in an effort to reduce the clubroot spores in the soil.

However, the new resistant varieties allowed farmers to once again grow the valuable crop on infected fields.

Strelkov said it wouldn’t be a surprise if resistance has started to break

down. Clubroot resistance was relatively short lived in parts of the United States and Europe after growers grew resistant varieties year after year, he added.

Resistance breaks down when the same varieties are grown continually on the same field and new pathogens start to attack the resistant genotypes within the canola plant.

“Resistance is such an important management tool. It is our main management tool,” Strelkov said.

“It would be a shame if we started to lose resistance options because people are not rotating properly, particularly if they know they have heavy clubroot. It would be a shame.”

Clubroot in resistant canola?

Curtis Rempel of the Canola Council of Canada said the discovery of the new pathotype has become a red flag, and the organization wants to conduct field surveys this summer to determine the spread of the new pathogen.

Samples were taken from several fields, and the infected galls were found in two fields.

Rempel said it’s not known if the potential new pathotype is confined to a small area or if the findings are indicative of more fields potentially having the new pathotype.

Rempel wants government, growers and industry to put together a surveillance program this summer for a more detailed search for the pathogen in the Edmonton and Westlock areas.

“Let’s say you have a new pathotype. The best way to manage it is to look at vigilant scouting and sampling and see how broadly spread it is,” he said.

“You also have to treat it like a new disease and keep the soil from moving. Then you have contained it.”

The best way to reduce resistance is to not grow canola back to back, not grow canola on fields that already have a high clubroot infestation level, scout for clubroot, don’t plant the

same resistant canola variety in a rotation and try to limit soil movement between fields.

“With farm consolidation, some growers are managing a lot of acres.

What your ideals are and what reality happens when you have a late spring, you have to start making compromises,” said Rempel.

“I think among a segment of growers there is an understanding that resistance is a tool and one of an integrated pest management approach.

Those producers understand that to preserve that tool we need to use other practices if we want to preserve resistance.”

Rempel said spending the summer documenting any potential new pathotypes would help researchers know if it is a new pathotype, the environment or just a variety of factors that have come together to create a more aggressive strain for a single year.

“If we’re starting to find it in more fields that are spread out, then we can start saying it’s around and now we need a different approach,” he said.

“Now it’s contained in two to three fields and can we really work with these producers and really rally focus on keeping the soil in that field.”

This spring was shaping up to be the first time in a long time that Corey Loessin would be able to get a head start on planting.

However, that was before his farm near Radisson, Sask., received an estimated 100 millimetres of precipitation.

“We have gone from kind of a dry situation the last 10 days to now where it’s going to be wet again,” he said. “It really has changed.”

Seeding on the Loessin farm used to begin around May 5. However, the last two years have seen excessive delays, and once again it looks like he won’t be planting crops until midMay at the earliest.

“I was kind of hoping for a year where we could get an early start,” he said.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Even though it sets us back a little bit, what we’ve had so far is going to really be important moisture and will take care of whatever drier bias we might pick up on later in the year,” he said.

Lerner is still forecasting dry conditions by late summer, so this earlyseason moisture is probably a blessing. He recalculated his soil moisture maps using the recent precipitation amounts.

“It looks really nice,” he said.

There are still pockets of dryness, such as southeastern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan and a triangle between Calgary, Medicine Hat, Alta., and Kindersley, Sask.

“That area is still in need of significant moisture,” he said.

“Everybody else is looking pretty darn good.”

In fact, it’s getting too wet in a few areas. A corridor between Edmonton and the eastern side of the Peace River district is waterlogged after receiving as much as 65 mm of rain over the weekend. West-central Manitoba is also dealing with excess moisture.

“If we could warm it up, this (excess rain) wouldn’t be so bad,” said Lerner.

“But if we keep this coolness around, we’re going to have a real hard time getting to dry down in some areas.”

Unfortunately, his May forecast calls for a cooler-than-normal bias for Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Alberta should experience normal to slightly above normal temperatures.

The May forecast also calls for above average precipitation in southern Saskatchewan and a fair amount of rain in Manitoba.

“It tells me there’s going to be some (seeding) issues,” said Lerner.

“We’re going to be slow getting out there.”

It is dry enough in southwestern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta that farmers should be able to start seeding on time, but there could be delays in northern Alberta and western Manitoba.

“They’re going to need something a little more than just the average temperature in order to get out of the mess they’re in,” he said.

The soil needs to warm up to support planting and seed germination.

“We’re going to have a pretty slow start unless we get some significant warming to take place fairly quickly,” said Lerner.

Loessin hasn’t even bothered to m e a s u re h i s s o i l t e m p e rat u re because he knows it’s too cold for seeding.

He is anxious about the slow start, but recent experience has given him confidence that the good soil moisture levels should result in good emergence with healthy seedlings and plant stands.

“That goes a long ways to having a good crop start and helping it move along versus languish,” said Loessin.

The delay will likely prevent him from applying pre-emergent Edge herbicide on some fields or getting equipment in good working order.

“It’s difficult to do that unless you’re really determined to lay around in the mud,” he said.

However, whenever the frustration starts to set in, he thinks about farmers in Kansas watching their parched topsoil blow away in the wind.

“That is so much worse than this,” said Loessin.

“You’ve got to keep that in perspective. More moisture, at least in my experience, is always better than not enough moisture.”

CROP PRODUCTION COSTS | SASKATCHEWAN VERSUS MANITOBA

Cropping guides show huge cost spread Method of calculation | Producers reminded that each province uses different expense assumptions

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A cursory glance at provincial crop planning guides suggests farming becomes profitable this year only after crossing the border from Manitoba into Saskatchewan.

The Crop Production Costs 2014 Guidelines for Western Manitoba, which was prepared by Manitoba Agriculture, shows that farmers will experience a net loss for almost every crop they grow this year.

The only exceptions are winter wheat, Roundup Ready soybeans and confectionary sunflowers.

The outlook changes dramatically one province to the west.

Saskatchewan farmers will make money on every crop they grow in the black soil zone with the exception of large green lentils, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crop Planning Guide 2014.

So how can farms in the same soil zone have such dramatically different outlooks?

The answer lies in the variable expense assumptions used in the planning guides.

The fertilizer cost for spring wheat in Saskatchewan is estimated to be $46.80 per acre and for canola it is $54. In Manitoba, the numbers are $70.16 and $92.21, respectively. It is a huge difference for the most expensive crop input.

Glenn Payne, provincial agribusiness specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the two provinces use different assumptions when creating those cost estimates.

Saskatchewan’s guide was put

INSECTICIDE AND FUNGICIDE COST ESTIMATE FOR CANOLA: Saskatchewan

Manitoba

$1.58 $26.02 per acre

per acre

together in early December when the prevailing market price for fertilizer was much cheaper than it is today. It assumes farmers bought a lot of their fertilizer in the fall and early winter.

The Saskatchewan guide uses a urea price of $487 per tonne, while Manitoba’s price of $727 per tonne reflects current fertilizer values and is 49 percent higher.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s g u i d e a l s o assumes lower urea application rates of 70 pounds per acre in the black soil zone compared to 100 lb. per acre in Manitoba, which is a 43 percent difference.

“When they’re using a higher rate of fertilizer and a higher price, no doubt their total expenditure on fertilizer would be a higher value,” said Payne.

It’s a similar story for insecticides and fungicides. Saskatchewan is using $3.20 per acre for spring wheat and $1.58 for canola, while Manitoba uses $14.90 for wheat and $26.02 for canola.

Payne said it appears that Manitoba is including the cost for disease and insect control on every acre.

“That’s something we haven’t planned for in the guide,” he said.

Saskatchewan is budgeting for spot applications on the five to 10 percent

of a field that might be infected, which results in a big cost difference for another major input.

Payne said the important thing for growers to remember is that the spread sheets produced by the provinces are planning guides rather than budgets. It is critical that farmers plug in their own numbers when possible.

“The conditions they’re all facing are so variable even within regions, let alone across such a large region as the soil zones and across the province. So it’s tough to be all things to everyone,” he said.

Cherilyn Nagel, a farmer from Mossbank, Sask., isn’t familiar with the provincial planning guides.

“We have a really strong network of p ro d u c e r s t hat w e b a c k b e n c h against, but we also just typically try to rely as much as we can on our own numbers,” she said.

Nagel said the guides could be useful to a point, but in the final analysis every farm needs to create its own crop budget based on its own circumstances.

“We don’t typically find that our numbers fall in line that closely with a lot of those publications that come out,” she said.

“Like most farmers, you find a way to justify your own way of doing things anyways.”

Payne said thousands of copies of Saskatchewan’s guide are distributed by hard copy or downloaded online every year, so farmers must find them useful.

“The real value to me in the guide is the cost categories, the listing of items to consider to hopefully cover

the waterfront of things to consider to make sure you’re building a fairly complete budget for yourself,” he said.

Alberta’s 2014 guide hasn’t been published yet.

Ted Nibourg, business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, has seen some of the preliminary variable cost estimates, and they don’t look promising for canola.

He picked a random place in the province near Amisk, Alta., where crop insurance data indicates that 23 bushels per acre is the base coverage level for the crop.

A recent canola price of $9.77 per bu. would result in $225 per acre of gross revenue. Total variable costs for canola are expected to be $241 per acre, resulting in a gross margin of -$16.

“If you’re going to get those kind of yields, I wouldn’t be surprised if anybody would just forgo growing canola,” said Nibourg.

Increasing the average yield to 30 bu. per acre results in $293 in gross revenue and a small positive gross margin, but that’s before fixed costs.

“That’s a $52 contribution margin.

Better hope the guy is not paying $60 an acre for cash rent,” he said.

Nibourg’s gross margin calculations lead him to believe that growers will be cutting back on some of their canola inputs this year.

“I think fertilizer is going to be the big one.”

LABOUR | FOREIGN RECRUITMENT

Ag businesses say foreign workers needed Simplified process | Employers must advertise the job, then wait up to a year to hire foreigners

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Cal Penner noticed about a decade ago that it was getting harder to retain employees at his hog farm northwest of Winnipeg.

The young men who worked briefly for Penner left for a variety of reasons.

Some didn’t like the dust inside the barns. Others didn’t care for the smell.

One employee, though, had a memorable reason for quitting.

“I had one guy say he didn’t like to sweat when he worked,” Penner said.

“Well, good luck with that.”

Penner laughed while sharing that anecdote, but he said a lack of labour has become a serious issue for independent hog producers in Manitoba.

“It would be nice if we could fill the jobs with Canadians, but this next generation that has come along, it’s not for them,” said Penner, who farms near Argyle, Man. With the exception of Hutterite colonies, most Manitoba hog farmers now depend on foreign workers.

“I don’t have the stats, but I would say over 50 percent of the workers in hog barns in the province would be foreign workers of some type,” said Penner, who has two employees from the Philippines.

“Even the Maple Leaf barns, Hylife … I would think they’d be a very high (percentage) of foreign workers.”

The federal government imposed a moratorium last week on temporary foreign workers in the restaurant and food services industry, following highly publicized incidents in which McDonald’s allegedly abused the temporary foreign worker program.

CBC reported that three McDonald’s in Victoria hired temporary foreign workers from the Philippines and gave those workers more shifts than local employees.

In a separate incident, the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour said the Brothers Classic Grill and Pizza in Weyburn, Sask., also abused the program. The federation said the hotel fired two waitresses with a combined 42 years of service and replaced them with temporary foreign workers.

The federal government will not process any applications to the temporary foreign worker program from restaurant and food services industry until it reviews the program.

Foreign workers form integral parts of the agricultural labour force in Canada, whether they enter the country under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program or some other program. While misuse of the program has made headlines lately, many in the agricultural industry say they could not do without foreign workers. | FILE PHOTO Unions and the C.D. Howe Institute may claim the temporary foreign worker program increases Canadian unemployment, but hog producers and beekeepers in Western Canada say they couldn’t operate without foreign labour.

Paul Greidanus, a beekeeper from Morinville, Alta., relies heavily on foreign workers from the Philippines, Nicaragua and Mexico. He said beekeepers could be put in jeopardy if Ottawa’s new restrictions slow the flow of foreign workers.

“You hear one or two bad stories, but that’s one out of many, many foreign workers who are in (Alberta),” said Greidanus, who has hired foreign workers from Mexico and Nicaragua for 30 years.

“I’m getting 12 guys in this year (from Nicaragua)…. If we couldn’t get foreign workers we would have to downsize, a lot.”

Temporary foreign workers represent 50 to 60 percent of all apiary employees in Western Canada. The percentage is even higher in Alberta: 65 to 75 percent.

Beekeepers bring in foreign workers for six months because they can’t find locals to do the seasonal work.

“The farming families in the countryside are gone,” said Bruce Podolsky, a honey producer from Ethelbert, Man. “It’s all big farmers so there are very few young people around.”

Beekeepers and hog producers must post help wanted ads in local and regional publications, to prove there are no applicants before recruiting foreign workers.

“We have to advertise the job in three sources, for about half a year, before we can start applying (for temporary foreign workers),” said Greidanus, who is also chair of the Alberta Beekeepers Commission’s labour committee. “We have to show we’re doing our due diligence, trying to get Canadian workers to do the job.

Even with all the advertising we do, we rarely get a call about the job.”

Greidanus would hire Canadians if he could. He would even raise wages because recruiting foreign workers is expensive.

“One of the biggest misconceptions

that we get… is we (hire foreigners) because it’s cheaper. It really isn’t. We have to house these guys, we have to fly them in … and we’re still paying them $14.30 per hour,” he said.

“If you add up all those things, I’d pay $20 an hour for a Canadian guy.”

Beekeepers typically hire foreign workers for six months, but hog producers use a different program.

Penner recruited his employees from the Philippines, who came to Canada to stay.

“It’s an agreement that they work for us for a minimum of two years.

Then they’re free to pursue whatever their heart desires (in Canada).”

Penner said he had to wait nine months before the federal government approved the application for the first employee. The second application took 11 months.

“We were short-staffed through both those periods of time,” Penner said, adding a lack of employees has become a chronic problem for Manitoba’s independent hog farmers.

“Discussions I’ve had with producers, they’re just very, very tired of …

being short staffed for (extended) periods of time…. Each farm is only as strong as the people they have. If we have to go for months, or almost a year, short staffed, there’s a financial cost to that.”

Greidanus said the process is also torturous for beekeepers: applications must be submitted four or five months before workers arrive.

Penner is among the producers lobbying government to simplify the application process so that hog farmers don’t have to wait a year to hire a foreign worker. He would like to see a distinct program for agriculture that is separate from the temporary foreign workers employed at fast food restaurants and other occupations.

Beekeepers are also lobbying the government for a similar change so that long-time users of temporary foreign labour are placed in a different category.

Penner said politicians are concerned about the human resource challenges in the hog industry, but he doesn’t expect an immediate solution.

TEMPORARY VERSUS SEASONAL | RESTRICTION COSTLY

Beekeepers not pleased with changes to foreign worker program

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The federal government made it more difficult for beekeepers to retain experienced employees when it amended the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011.

Known as the four in and four out rule, a temporary foreign worker in certain streams of the program must

now leave the country after four years of accumulated service. After four years outside Canada, a worker is once again eligible for the program.

The government argued the new rule would encourage employers to sponsor qualified workers for permanent residency status.

Beekeepers were unhappy with the change because they could no longer rely on the same employees return-

ing year after year, which increased training and recruitment costs.

The four in, four out rule doesn’t apply to the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), which is distinct from other Temporary Foreign Worker Program streams in Canada.

Canadian agricultural businesses can hire temporary workers from Mexico and some Caribbean coun-

tries for up to eight months between Jan. 1 and Dec. 15.

Todd Giffin, who runs Mayfair Farms, a vegetable and strawberry operation in Portage la Prairie, Man., has used SAWP to hire Mexican workers for decades.

“Our program is an eight month contract. These guys come in, they have to go back. It’s a contract with the Mexican government,” he said.

“It (the program) has been run very well for many years…. It’s essential for our business. If we’d lost it, honestly, we’d probably pack up shop.”

Giffin said he’s spoken to his workers about immigrating to Canada, but some of them have businesses or farms in Mexico.

As well, many prefer the Mexican climate, Giffin said.

“Where would you go in the winter?”

Policy shift may curb B.C. land reserve reform

High-traffic sites in Manitoba test positive for deadly pig virus

Agricultural development | New council votes against proposal

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Efforts to reform agricultural land policy in British Columbia have hit a snag.

Paul Gevatkoff, chair of the Agricultural Land Reform Society, believed that proposed changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve were in sight when Bill 24 was introduced in the provincial legislature in March.

After four years of lobbying, Gevatkoff hoped farmers in northern B.C. would finally have the freedom to subdivide their land, carve a farm yard out of a home quarter or even start a business on the farm.

These are all things that aren’t allowed under the ALR, which was set up 40 years ago to protect agricultural land in B.C. “It’s just wrong, it’s not right,” said Gevatkoff.

“The Agricultural Land Reserve is very archaic.”

The changes would have allowed farmers in B.C.’s Interior and the north to split a half section into two quarter sections or allow a retired couple to carve out their farm site from the quarter section instead of moving to town to live.

“We’re in favour of all the changes,” said Gevatkoff, one of the founders of the Agricultural Land Reform Society, which was formed four years ago to lobby for changes to the ALR. Farms in the heavily populated

south would still face tough rules to protect the valuable farmland from development.

The B.C. Agriculture Council, which represents 14,000 farmers, supported Bill 24.

The bill proposed dividing the province into two zones: the north and Interior with a scattered population would follow different ALR rules than the densely populated southern part of the province.

“We’re looking forward to the changes,” Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Ag Council, told a news conference in mid-April.

Then Driediger retired, and two weeks later the new council voted unanimously to oppose the changes to the ALR. “Looking forward, Bill 24 has yet to pass. It is the position of the B.C. Agriculture Council that as currently written, Bill 24 threatens the sustainability of agriculture in B.C.,” Stan Vander Waal, the new chair of BCAC, said in a news release.

With that change of direction, Gevatkoff is worried urban voices in Vancouver will drown out their concerns.

“The Agricultural Land Reserve is an emotional issue especially for people that live in the city and they associate it with food production,” he said.

“They are predominantly down in the Fraser Valley and try to dictate what we do. We are very concerned.”

Norm Letnick, B.C.’s new agriculture minister, met with BCAC members about their concerns April 23.

“It was a good productive meeting,” said Letnick.

He said they worked through Bill 24 in detail to allow the BCAC members and himself to understand what was being proposed and why.

“There was good discussion, and we agreed to continue consultation,” he said.

“I have a clearer understanding of how it works and what it really means on the ground.”

Letnick said he plans to host a telephone town hall meeting to hear other opinions about the ALR. He will also be reviewing letters and emails about the proposed bill.

“My job as member for agriculture is to reflect on what I hear and see and collect information and make recommendations,” he said.

“I want to have a good handle on the bill before going to colleagues.

The Agricultural Land Reserve is something very important to British Columbians and to me as a minister.”

Gevatkoff said he understands the farming pressures are different in the province’s Lower Mainland than in the Peace River area and believes that’s why there needs to be different rules for different parts of the province.

“We recognize we are not the Fraser Valley. The high value agriculture land is really under pressure.”

Traces of PED virus have been found in areas of high pig traffic but not on farms

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Eight sites in Manitoba with high pig traffic have tested positive for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus as a result of ongoing surveillance for the deadly pig disease.

None of the sites are farms, according to Manitoba’s chief veterinary office, but the exact locations and types of sites affected are not being revealed.

High-traffic sites include livestock assembly yards, federal and provincial slaughter plants, truck wash stations and livestock trailers.

Mark Fynn, animal care specialist with Manitoba Pork, said April 28 that two of the eight positives were on pigs themselves.

“In all the cases where we’ve had positive pigs at these facilities, it would mean that they’ve been at the facility long enough to get the virus there,” said Fynn.

Tracing the infected pigs back to the originating farms have shown no PED at those farms.

“It would suggest that (the pigs) are becoming contaminated on the site, and the likelihood is that that site is just environmentally contaminated from being in touch with some of these trailers.”

The chief veterinary office said in a news release that the high traffic sites that tested positive are co-operating with an investigation “and have taken measures to reduce the possibility of further transmission.”

Fynn said hot, dry weather in sum-

mer could provide an opportunity to better combat PED, which is fatal to young piglets and reduces production in older animals.

The virus is no risk to human health or food safety.

Decontamination measures for sites that have tested positive will vary depending on type, said Fynn.

Closure in some cases would be too disruptive.

“If we can manage to keep it off farm, I think we’ll be in good standing to do a more effective cleanup in the summer, but in the spring conditions aren’t really that great for doing a cleanup.

“We just have to do a really good job of protecting our farms for now and then really think about a strategy for the summer time,” said Fynn.

CANOLA | PRICE OUTLOOK

Canola price has ground to make up $2 less than soybean oil | ‘It has been trading in its own little cloud of misery,’ says analyst

BY SEAN PRATT

CANOLA LAGS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola has considerable upside price potential based on the gap between it and other oilseeds and oilseed products, says an analyst.

“There is such a compelling argument for a substantially higher valuation of canola,” said Harold Davis, author of Prairie Crop Charts.

Ca n o l a’s u n d e r p e r f o r ma n c e against other oilseeds and oilseed products started last fall.

“If you actually look at where MATIF (European) rapeseed is in Canadian dollars, it suggests that there is stupefying upside potential for canola,” said Davis.

He prepared a chart last week showing that nearby European rapeseed futures were $14.50 per bushel compared to nearby canola futures, which were $10.23 per bu. as of April 22.

Canola was also trading at more than a $2 discount to U.S. soybean oil last week. Canola prices usually closely track soybean oil prices, except for rare occasions when the crop breaks that pattern and follows soybean prices instead.

“It hasn’t been trading like either the oil or the beans,” said Davis.

“It has been trading in its own little cloud of misery.”

The cloud formed when growers harvested a record-shattering 18 million tonnes last year and the grain handling system had trouble moving it over the winter months.

Davis expects canola futures prices will return to their normal relationships vis-à-vis other oilseeds and oilseed products as the logistical backlog is slowly resolved.

“As we move back towards a free functioning transportation system, arbitrage will force those price relationships back into line,” he said.

However, growers’ eagerness to clear bin space and generate cash flow may postpone the realignment.

Relative to the price six months ago in mid-November, the May canola contract has fallen 5.86 percent as of April 28 while the May soybean contract has risen 21.2 percent. Analysts believe that as the transportation backlog is addressed, this gap between soybeans and canola could narrow.

“It won’t snap back to normal. It will crawl back to normal,” he said.

Davis anticipates that the gaps will be closed by canola prices climbing rather than European rapeseed and U.S. soybean oil prices tumbling.

He believes the multi-year bull run for soybeans will remain intact. Palm oil has also been climbing out of a price bottom in recent months.

“On balance, the background environment for oilseed pricing is going to remain positive,” said Davis.

“Rather than all of those other oilseeds coming down to us, I think we will be coming up towards them.”

AgResource Co. president Dan Basse expects the opposite to happen. He said the United States has been an “island of supply tightness” in a world awash with record oilseed stocks.

The soybean oil market has been rallying in recent months because the market is convinced the U.S. government will reinstate a $1 per gallon biodiesel blender’s tax credit that

expired Dec. 31.

“That has helped underpin the soybean oil market,” said Basse.

The tightness in old crop soybean supplies has convinced analysts that the crush rate will fall in the second half of the crop year, resulting in less

soybean oil on the market.

“That is the main reason why bean oil is trading at a premium to canola,” he said.

However, Basse believes the soybean market will eventually be influenced by the global glut of oilseed supplies.

“I don’t think these relationships of soy staying at such a premium to canola will last much longer,” he said.

Basse thinks soybean oil prices will head down toward canola prices once the market has a handle on the availability of new crop soybeans.

RED LENTILS | DEMAND

Tight red lentil supply, good demand bodes well for prices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Red lentil prices have been on a steady ascent since January, and there is no let-up in sight, says an analyst.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, expects continued strong demand for the commodity from India and Turkey, Canada’s two biggest customers.

“We’re going to see the supply of reds continue to tighten up and sup-

port the market, so I’m friendly through the rest of this year and I think we’ll see good buying early in the 2014-15 year as well,” he said.

Turkey’s crop has been damaged by extreme drought, and Penner believes it will be smaller than the 401,750 tonne average of the last four years.

There have been reports that an April frost caused more damage to an already suffering crop, but Penner doesn’t believe that to be the case.

The frost occurred in the central

highlands rather than in the southeast where the lentils are grown.

Turkish lentil prices have come off their highs in the last two or three weeks.

“That tells me that the frost isn’t an issue,” said Penner.

Prices had been rising because of concerns about the drought, but strong imports of Canadian lentils eased the anticipated supply shortfall and caused prices to relax a bit.

India’s lentil prices have also been

on the rise because of late-February rain that damaged the country’s chickpea crop and increased demand for imported pulses.

The India Meteorological Department released its first 2014 southwest monsoon seasonal rainfall forecast last week.

It calls for 95 percent of normal rainfall for the critical June through September monsoon period compared to 106 percent of normal last year.

There is a 60 percent chance of an El

Nino developing during the monsoon season, which could lead to reduced rainfall.

A disappointing monsoon season could reduce production of pigeon peas, providing strength to green lentils, which are used as a substitute.

Penner doesn’t put much faith in weather forecasts, especially ones done this far in advance. The market appears to agree.

SOYBEANS | CHINESE IMPORTS

Chinese importers cancel soybean orders Up to two million tonnes | A drop in feed requirements has led to the cancellation of Brazilian shipments

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Cancelled Chinese soybean shipments are dramatically changing market dynamics for the oilseed.

Dan Basse, president of AgResource Co., estimates that Chinese importers have walked away from 1.5 to two million tonnes of soybean shipments, most of which originated from South America.

A sharp drop in hog prices and the reappearance of avian flu has led to a 13 to 15 percent decline in feed consumption in China compared to a year ago, which has reduced crush margins.

That started a backup in the system, which was exacerbated by Chinese importers double booking for the February-March delivery period with soybeans from the United States and Brazil.

Crushers were worried about Brazil having the same logistical problems as last year, so they also booked U.S. soybeans to cover them.

However, Brazil produced a big crop that came off the fields early, and the government’s new vessel loading and trucking protocols have greatly reduced port congestion.

As a result, Brazilian soybeans have been arriving in China at the same time as the double-booked U.S. product.

“This has just given the Chinese a real case of indigestion,” said Basse.

Importers wanted to walk away from U.S. shipments, but they made the tactical mistake of booking those sales on a cost, insurance and freight (CIF) basis, which made it too costly to cancel.

So they have been canceling shipments from Brazil instead.

Importers typically lose a $3 to $3.5 million performance bond for defaulting on a Panamax vessel, but it’s less costly than bringing in expensive imported product for crushing in an over supplied market.

Other shipments are washed out and resold to another buyer without penalty.

Basse said ships used to not set sail without the price of the commodity fixed and a letter of credit in place, but that isn’t the case anymore because of increased competition in the soybean business.

“Exporters, because of their willingness to cut deals and do things in back rooms and everything else,

A crane is loaded with sacks of soybeans at a port in Rizhao, in China’s Shandong province April 15. | have become rather lax in their contractual obligations,” he said.

Ships are leaving port without a fixed price or a letter of credit in place, and the terms surrounding the cargo may not be in place until a week before arriving at port.

“We’ve got some vessels that are sailing to China from Brazil and the United States that conceivably could be defaulted on in midstream,” he said.

A lot of the South American cargoes that China has cancelled are being rerouted to the United States, where

soybean supplies are extremely tight.

The U.S. has imported an estimated 50 million bushels of soybeans from Brazil, Argentina, Canada and other exporters.

“We think in total that the U.S. will import a record 80 million bu. of beans this crop year to avert the supply tightness we once feared,” said Basse.

That estimate is well above the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s estimate of 65 million bu. The imported product is expected to put downward pressure on U.S. soybean prices.

“Some of the commercial crowd fears that this is only the start of a deeper correction that could last into summer,” said Basse.

AgResource believes Brazil’s soybean exports will be one to 1.5 million tonnes lower than what the USDA is forecasting, despite the U.S. taking some of the cancelled shipments.

Argentina’s exports will also be reduced.

It isn’t good news for Canadian and U.S. soybean farmers, who are going to have export competition from South America lasting into the Sep-

tember-November period, which is typically the big shipment period for North American product. “(That) will diminish our demand for new crop going forward,” said Basse.

WE’RE BUYING

Feed Grains » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “I don’t think (the forecast) is having any impact on prices yet in India.”

India will issue an updated forecast in June.

The other recent development for lentil markets is Statistics Canada’s seeding intentions report, which forecast 2.86 million acres of the crop, up 20 percent from last year.

Many analysts and traders were forecasting a 30 percent increase resulting in more than three million acres of the crop. Penner wasn’t one

of them. He thinks the Statistics Canada estimate is bang on.

The market shrugged off the report.

“Overseas buyers don’t typically make big moves based on the acreage numbers,” said Penner.

They likely see the increase as a comfortable number that will offset a forecast 12 percent decrease in lentil plantings in the United States.

Penner said the real tale will be told in June when Statistics Canada breaks down the acreage estimate by class.

MALTING BARLEY | VARIETY IMPROVEMENTS

Japan looks to Canada for ideal malt barley types High enzyme activity | Japan and Canada worked together to develop CDC PolarStar

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Japanese brewers love Canadian malting barley.

They want to keep it that way, but the malt’s got to keep getting better.

“We need varieties with distinctive value, brand and positioning.… We can make it through good co-operation,” Kensuke Ogushi, beer ingredients director with Sapporo Breweries, told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

“Let us continue (to) work together in the future.”

Canada has been Japan’s biggest supplier of malting barley for the past 10 years, edging out Australia and European suppliers.

The Japanese are steady beer consumers and wealthy, premiumpaying drinkers, make it a muchvalued market in the eyes of barley marketers.

Sapporo is Japan’s oldest brewery

and has been directly involved in developing its own varieties since its birth in the 1870s.

It continues to be involved in development, helping create new varieties in Canada, Australia and Europe that meet its needs for specific malt characteristics.

It’s why Ogushi thinks Canada can remain a key supplier.

Ogushi said the development of CDC PolarStar is an example of Canada’s edge as a supplier. Crop breeding experts from Japan and Canada collaborated to produce an ideal variety for Japanese beer that can grow well in Western Canada. It is a combination of germplasm from an old Japanese variety and CDC Kendall.

It can produce malt that has certain compounds that avoid beer developing a “cardboard-like” taste after a long time in storage, which allows it to have long shelf life.

“We, the Japanese brewers, need

SEEDING INTENTIONS | PULSES, FLAX

Pulse and special crops expected to shine in 2014 MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he Statistics Canada seeding intentions survey’s surprisingly low canola acreage number helped lift the canola futures market.

The report, a snapshot of what farmers were planning when surveyed in the last week of March, reflects farmers’ experience this crop year.

The record breaking harvest and the inability of the railways to increase movement in step with the production increase means there will be lots of canola and wheat in farm storage at the end of the crop year.

The stocks-to-use ratio for wheat (excluding durum) at the end of the current crop year is expected to be 37 percent (up from 16.8 percent the year before) and canola is expected to be 21 percent (up from 4.3 percent).

As a result, there was no need to emphasize those crops in the seeding plan. Canola seeded area is

expected to fall 0.7 percent, compared to an increase that was expected earlier in the year. Spring wheat area is expected to fall 5.6 percent and durum 2.6 percent.

The stocks-to-use ratios in pulse crops appear to be much more manageable at 13 percent for peas and 10 percent for lentils.

Also, with nitrogen fertilizer prices up by one-third since last fall, the nitrogen-fixing attribute of pulses is appreciated.

Pulse acreage is concentrated in Saskatchewan, so farmers familiar with the crop in that province cut canola and wheat and went for pulses.

Saskatchewan farmers can also be distinguished by their refound interest in flax, which was one of the most profitable crops in the current crop year. Acreage is expected to soar 72 percent in that province, an increase of 620,000 acres. Manitoba area is expected to climb 41 percent and Alberta by 28 percent.

I hope all those acres are planted with certified seed proven to be free of any residue of the genetically modified CDC Triffid variety, which cost Canada the European market for several years.

The Canadian flax industry made a huge effort to eliminate Triffid from the seed supply, and it is paying off with improved sales to Europe.

However, that could be threatened again if a few growers opt to use old,

Triffid-contaminated saved seed.

In Manitoba, canola area was little changed, but the rising popularity of soybeans took acres away from wheat.

Manitoba soybean area is expected to reach 1.3 million acres, up 24 percent from last year and up 63 percent from two years ago.

Soybeans are also spreading into Saskatchewan. Growers intend to plant 300,000 acres this year, up from 180,000 last year.

However, the rising interest in corn on the Prairies is taking a breather, with Manitoba corn acres at 300,000, down from 380,000 in 2013.

Barley area is expected to be down sharply, with record small acreage in Alberta and Manitoba and a tie for the smallest area in Saskatchewan.

Alberta is taking a different path than its prairie sisters, with farmers planning to seed more canola, up 1.6 percent, and more oats, up 11 percent.

Overall, oat area is expected to be about steady, which is no surprise given the trouble transporting Canadian crop to American users.

Another notable development is the reduced outlook for summerfallow across the Prairies.

Farmers plan only 3.37 million acres in summerfallow, down 13 percent from the year before and a record low.

Summerfallow area has trended down since the move to continuous

cropping began in the 1980s, made possible by herbicides and minimum disturbance seeding.

Summerfallow peaked at almost 37 million acres in 1970, the year that the Lower Inventories for Tomorrow program was implemented to reduce seeded area to address burdensome

grain stocks.

The trend was broken in 2010 and 2011, when excess spring moisture prevented seeding and forced the number up over 10 million acres.

USDA REPORT | CATTLE ON FEED

Tight U.S. cattle supply trims feedlot placements March placements down five percent | The USDA reported almost one percent fewer cattle compared to April 2013 CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The number of cattle placed in U.S. feedlots last month unexpectedly fell five percent from March 2013, reflecting a small herd and potentially the start of herd rebuilding.

Most analysts had anticipated a modest bump in March cattle placements compared with a year ago, driven by record-high prices for market-ready cattle last month.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s cattle-on-feed report issued April 25 showed March placements at 1.795 million head, down five percent from 1.884 million a year earlier.

Analysts, on average, had expected a .8 percent increase.

The USDA report’s quarterly steers and heifers on-feed data showed steers as of April 1 rose 2.2 percent from a year ago, but heifers dropped 5.9 percent, said University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain.

“This suggests we’re keeping a lot of heifers back on farms for breeding, which helps pull down the placement number and tightens up supplies in feed yards,” he said.

Rich Nelson, chief strategist with Allendale Inc., said fewer cattle are available now following five consecutive months of larger placements, which was partly fueled by recordhigh cattle prices.

Bouts of harsh wintry weather in early March may have delayed the sale of animals at some auction barns, which might have kept numbers from going to feedlots, he added.

Don Roose, an analyst with U.S. Commodities, called the March

March marketings were the smallest since the USDA began keeping data in 1996. |

placement number “a bit of a surprise.” He pointed to sizable yearover-year placement shortfalls in Texas and Kansas compared to modest increases in Nebraska and Colorado.

“The big placement drop in the southern Plains, in the 700 to 799 weight category, was possibly due to expensive feeder cattle overall and higher feed values in the south compared to the north,” said Roose.

Analysts had been keeping a close

eye on cattle placements in California, where severe drought forced ranchers to downsize their herds or send them to other states to be fattened.

Although the USDA’s data showed that the number of cattle placed in California, Arizona and Texas was down from last year, all three states showed marked increases compared to the previous month.

“In California and Arizona, this is the time of year where they often get

increases in placements,” said Livestock Marketing Information Center director Jim Robb.

Analysts said high prices for steers pulled more cattle into Texas feedlots from Mexico.

The USDA put the feedlot cattle supply as of April 1 at 10.860 million head, down one percent from 10.924 million a year earlier. Analysts polled

by Reuters had expected an average increase of .2 percent.

Feedlot supplies reflect generally

tight cattle numbers and the fact that fewer animals were moved into feed yards last month, analysts said.

The government said the number of cattle sold to packers, called marketings, in March was down four percent from a year earlier to 1.660 million head. Analysts predicted of a drop of 3.6 percent from 1.724 million last year.

March marketings were the smallest since the government began the data series in 1996.

CANADIAN MARKET STRONG

COWS MIXED

Northern U.S. live fed prices have fallen $6 over the past four weeks, while Canadian fed prices continued to trade at historical highs.

This has caused the Alberta-Nebraska cash-to-cash basis to approach the strongest level this year.

U.S. interest in the cash market was limited.

Canadian producers are marketing the last of their yearlings, and calves have yet to come forward.

Feedlots say their focus is to deliver on contracts and have no additional cattle to sell on the grid or the cash market.

Fed steers were $146.25 per hundredweight in light trade, up 60 cents.

Heifer trade was too small to determine a price.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis strengthened to close at -$12.82. Weekly fed exports to April 12 totalled 12,299 head, the most in nearly a year.

Retailers should be in the midst of covering beef needs for Mother’s Day and Victoria Day. The cash-to-futures basis historically strengthens moving into May, and this year will be no different. The June live cattle contract is trading at a about a $7 discount compared to the spot contract.

Basis levels are anticipated to be slightly weaker in the first half of May than the five-year historical average of -$4.45.

D1, D2 cows ranged $98-$112 per hundredweight to average $104.75, up 88 cents, and D3s ranged $85$100 to average $91.83, down $1.67.

Rail bids were generally steady, ranging from $198-$203 delivered.

Butcher bull prices jumped $6 higher to average $112.61.

Weekly Alberta auction volumes fell 14 percent to 19,793 head.

The rally was primarily supported by strong North American demand for grass cattle.

These heated feeder prices have narrowed profit margins in the feedlot and on pasture, which could limit price upside.

The U.S. pork cutout fell to $116.13 per cwt. April 25, down from $120.08 April 17, but prices could pick up again as the grilling season approaches.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to April 26 was 1.999 million, down from 2.002 million the

previous week. Slaughter was 2.145 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range reached a high of $4.10 Cdn per lb. hot hanging weight.

Grade A heifers sold at prices up to $4.

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

Quality 2013 bull calves weighing 400-550 lb. averaged $2.40 per lb. live weight and heifers weighing 300-400 lb. averaged $2 per lb. live weight.

Bulls from 2012 weighing less than

800 lb. traded at 1.95 per lb. live weight, while heifers weighing less than 700 lb. averaged $1.55.

Some trades of 2013 bulls and heifers at $2.10 f.o.b. at the farm were reported. Quality animals continue to fetch a premium.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LAMBS STEADY Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,101 sheep and lambs and 44 goats traded April 21. All classes of well-finished lambs sold actively at good steady prices.

Goats sold steady. Sheep sold steady to $5 cwt. higher.

ECONOMY | AVOIDING BOOM-BUST CYCLE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Big cities vital for economy, but rural can’t be overlooked

A

report by the Institute of Certified Management Consultants of Saskatchewan with the title Think Big Saskatchewan makes interesting reading for anyone on the Canadian Prairies.

Its goal is to find ways to sustain the province’s economy beyond the current good times generated by a boom in commodity production and prices.

This boom in agricultural, petroleum and mineral commodities has allowed the three prairie provinces to prosper through what has been a difficult economic period in much of the rest of the developed world.

However, history shows that commodity booms turn to busts when new investment boosts production beyond demand.

The CMC paper suggests that the busts can be mitigated if an economy is diversified and includes processing and manufacturing.

It says diversification is easier when a region has a city of more than 500,000 people, which provides a self-sustaining economic engine offering the services, labour pool and infrastructure to attract processing and other businesses.

The paper suggests Alberta and Manitoba navigate through weak commodity markets better than Saskatchewan partly because they have big cities — Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg.

Also, a large city offers rural residents shopping and services, entertainment, medical services and airports. It provides a local consumer base for farmers markets, market gardens and rural tourism.

However, the road to a sustainable economy must go beyond establishing big cities.

The CMC paper emphasizes the choice is not urban or rural, but a partnership. The paper is only a first step. We suggest that future discussion include the following observations.

Cities might provide the infrastructure and labour pool that attracts industry, but the

recent history of Western Canada in agricultural processing is not an urban experience.

The biggest growth in processing has been in canola crushing. It has happened in smaller centres such as Yorkton, Sask., and Lethbridge and towns such as Fort Saskatchewan Alta., and Altona, Man. The meat business has the greatest labour needs, but it has largely abandoned large cities and located in such places as Brooks, Alta., Moose Jaw, Sask., and Brandon.

Efforts to foster processing must recognize that the decision to locate a plant depends on more than the labour resource.

The growth of a metropolis can also lead to an urban-rural political divide. Urban voters with little knowledge of what happens outside the perimeter highway can form majorities favouring policies that harm rural residents.

Unregulated low density urban growth paves over prime farmland. Misguided environmental regulation unfairly targets hog production or limits the use of pesticides that are safe and economically necessary.

To avoid conflict requires big thinking and urban-rural partnerships.

Members of provincial legislatures are elected to represent the interests of their ridings, but in their deliberations they must also consider the effect their legislation has on all people of the province.

Municipal politicians and civil servants also need to think beyond their boundaries.

Regional planning is a necessity.

The right mindset in legislating, planning and development will help cities and their citizens become rooted in, and reflective of, their regions.

For urban people, the countryside must not become a place they drive through or fly over to get to somewhere else “important.”

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

here’s another controversy brewing in Ottawa.

No, it doesn’t involve the Senate, and, no, it has nothing to do with the pending Fair Elections Act. The latest fire storm headed the federal government’s way is linked to the controversial Temporary Foreign Workers Program.

While federal employment minister Jason Kenney may have imposed a temporary, albeit sudden, moratorium on the use of the program in the food service sector, accusations of abuse continue.

Retail giants McDonald’s and Tim Hortons are both facing heightened scrutiny after multiple accusations of

program misuse in Western Canada.

Another handful of independent employers, including a restaurant in Weyburn, Sask., are under fire for favouring cheap, foreign workers over Canadian employees.

The news has triggered major public outrage with the tag line “they should have hired Canadians.”

Amidst the controversy, though, lurks a serious conversation Canadians have ignored for far too long.

We’re job snobs.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program was never supposed to be used to fill so called menial service positions. It was created as a survival tool for industries unable to find skilled workers and prevent severe spikes in labour costs.

For rural communities, the program had the added benefit of opening up a skilled labour pool willing to work in remote regions, away from major city centres.

This was especially true in Western Canada where labour shortages have plagued parts of the region for years and finding skilled workers can

sometimes be next to impossible.

The program flourished. By 2012, according to a recent C.D. Howe study (a respected non-partisan think-tank), Canada was home to some 338,000 temporary foreign workers employed by hundreds of companies nationwide.

Yet, unemployment numbers in Canada remained static, hovering around 7.2 percent. In some provinces (notably Alberta and British Columbia) the report found joblessness actually increased.

While some argue the logical explanation, and the one suggested by the report, is employer preference for foreign workers at the expense of Canadian employees, other factors are also at play.

We Canadians are picky about where we work and for whom we work.

Right or wrong, we snub our noses at the “tedious” service industry jobs.

Many of us believe that driving cabs, working at McDonald’s or pouring coffee doesn’t help us get ahead.

Those jobs don’t boost our resumes and fail to provide any measurable

experience that distinguishes us from everyone else in today’s competitive job market.

We’re choosy and most employers are too.

Minister Kenney and department staff have insisted repeatedly Canadian workers must be considered first. That’s all well and good, and in the political game, it’s the only comment they can make.

But, for that to work, Canadians must actually be interested in the jobs.

In Western Canada especially, employers are often competing against the affluent, roll-in-thedough wages of the oil industry.

Non-oil industry jobs can start as high as $22 per hour with full benefits. Yet, employers still can’t find Canadians willing to take the jobs.

Consider the meat packing industry. A staple employer in rural communities across the Prairies, the industry is heavily dependent on temporary foreign workers.

Along with major competition from the natural resources sector, working in a meat plant is physically demanding.

Nor is it the most pleasant kind of work.

A lot of Canadians, particularly city slickers like myself, are simply not physically fit enough to do the work, or are afflicted with weak stomachs.

Add in the rural challenge of convincing someone to move away from the city and the struggles can be enormous.

As the outcry over the Temporary Foreign Worker Program grows, calls for the program’s end are guaranteed to surface.

The federal Liberals and the NDP have raised concerns about the program. The NDP wants a complete federal review, while Liberal MP John McCallum has written the auditor general asking for an in-depth investigation into the program.

It’s easy to lament, “They should have hired a Canadian.”

The question we should really be asking ourselves, though, is this: Would a Canadian have been willing to do the job?

acts, figures and data are as essential to journalism as verbs, nouns and dangling participles. In fact, journalism without facts is a cup of tea without tea.

We also understand that erudite farm and food conversationalists — like you, for instance — are often on the prowl for convincing evidence and fresh facts to inform the unknowing and inspire the faithful.

For example, while New Zealand is but the world’s 75th largest country by size, it is the world’s fifth largest beef exporter.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, New Zealand exported 529,000 tonnes of the 620,000 tonnes of beef it produced in 2013. Forty-six percent of all those exports, or about 244,000 tonnes, went to the United States.

That’s 536.8 million pounds of New Zealand beef imported by the U.S., the world’s largest beef producer, when we grew 11.7 million tonnes of beef ourselves, or nearly 19 times the total production of New Zealand.

According to the USDA, America’s cattle numbers were so low last year that we also imported 989,406 head of cattle from Mexico and 1,038,584 head from Canada.

In fact, predicts the USDA, total American beef production will decline another 684,000 tonnes, or more than all of New Zealand’s 2014 production, as U.S. ranchers hold back young stock to rebuild breeding herds this year.

Declines are also forecast for American ethanol production as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Many analysts recommend buying bacon now as prices are likely to go up due to porcine epidemic diarrhea virus reducing pork supply. | FILE PHOTO works on new rules to balance today’s smaller American gasoline market with previously enacted mandates for increased use of biofuel. As might be expected, farmers who grow corn, the main feedstock of ethanol, aren’t happy.

At a recent Senate agriculture committee hearing on “advanced biofuels,” however, chair Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat, cited Iowa State University research to support expanding ethanol use rather than cutting it.

She said Iowa State found that “ethanol reduced the cost of gas by 89 cents (per gallon) across the country — and by as much as $1.37 in the Midwest” in 2010.

The average American family used 892 gallons of gasoline that year, which means it would have saved

$794 because of biofuel.

However, a May 2012 update by Iowa State put those dramatic numbers into a broader context. “(The report’s) results indicate that over the period of January 2000 to December 2011, the growth in ethanol production reduced wholesale gasoline prices by 29 cents per gallon on average across all regions.”

Stabenow’s numbers aren’t wrong; they just focus on the “marginal impacts on gasoline prices” that “are found to be substantially higher given the dramatic increase in ethanol production and higher crude oil prices” in recent years.

However, the most hog wild mixed message of the winter has been the impact of porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED), a pig-only virus that has infected hog herds in 28 states.

The virus, when it strikes, is deadly. Mid-winter estimates pegged baby pig losses nationwide since May at 2.7 million to six million head, or five to 10 percent of the U.S. herd.

USDA’s March 28 Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report saw the number closer to the low end of the low end, or about five percent.

That means, said extension economist Chris Hurt of Purdue University, that record high hog prices will rule for producers not heavily affected by PED, and 2014 will be “a record profit year.”

With that in mind, I suggest buying bacon for those summer BLTs now.

CROPPING OPTIONS | ACREAGE PROJECTIONS

Looking beyond soybeans and corn for profits HURSH ON AG

olour me skeptical, but I don’t see soybeans and grain corn hitting the aggressive targets set by the big seed companies.

Their investment in earlier maturing varieties is appreciated, but will there be sufficient economic incentive to propel acres dramatically higher?

Monsanto Canada is predicting eight to 10 million acres of corn and six to eight million acres of soybeans in Western Canada by 2024.

We’ve certainly seen huge changes in the past decade, and there’s certainly a lot of interest in soybeans and to a lesser extent corn, but the current acreage is not large.

Soybeans have become an important crop in Manitoba, with Statistics Canada predicting 1.3 million acres this year, an increase of 24 percent from last year. It’s the third largest crop in the province, and some believe it will soon overtake canola.

However, even though soybean acreage is expected to jump by 76 percent in Saskatchewan, it will still only be 300,000 acres, similar to some specialty crops.

Grain corn in Manitoba is projected to be down 24 percent to just 300,000 acres. Corn is going to be down everywhere, and Manitoba isn’t bucking the trend.

Grain corn in Saskatchewan and Alberta doesn’t warrant a Statistics Canada projection. There’s no soybean number for Alberta.

Neil Arbuckle of Monsanto says the experience in North Dakota is that corn displaces wheat when corn reaches the 110 bushel per acre threshold. Farmers will certainly gravitate to whatever provides the best returns, but Western Canada has a wide diversity of cropping options,

particularly in the southern and central grain belt.

For some, there seems to be a certain allure to growing the big two crops from south of the border, but do we really want to compete head to head with the Americans?

We grow crops they have all but abandoned such as oats and flax, and we are leaders in crops they have been slow to adopt, such as lentils and field peas.

Saskatchewan’s flax acreage is set for a big rebound, with Statistics Canada calling for a 72 percent increase to 1.48 million acres.

Sizable increases are also expected in Manitoba and Alberta, but the acreage in those provinces is small.

Manitoba once had more than a million acres of flax, but the projection is just 120,000 this year.

Field peas are expected to be up by 25 percent in Alberta to 1.255 million acres and up by 20 percent in Saskatchewan to 2.66 million acres.

Saskatchewan is the king of lentils: 2.8 million acres are expected this year, which is an increase of 21 per-

cent. It’s interesting how some crops virtually stop at provincial boundaries, with lentils being the prime example.

Manitoba used to be a significant grower of small green lentils, but the crop has all but disappeared. Many parts of southern Alberta should be viable for lentils, but the acreage there remains insignificant.

While corn and/or soybeans are no doubt poised to increase in the years ahead, we shouldn’t disregard other options.

The major seed companies will eagerly promote their new corn and soybean varieties and spend money to aid in their adoption.

However, there are many crops we already grow that can be profitable in a broader geography.

There are new cropping options such as fababeans and old cropping options such as rye and triticale.

There’s no use being fixated on soybeans and corn.

t is not every day one gets the chance to ask the governor of the Bank of Canada a direct question about agriculture.

In fact, the last time I got in front of a governor it was Gordon Thiessen, and holy cow, that’s a long time ago.

Stephen Poloz was in Saskatoon last week at an event organized by the Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership, and much of his speech was about exports, as well as, of course, inflation and interest rates.

Clearly, the Canadian economy has not entirely rebounded since the crisis of 2008. Indeed, many sectors, particularly manufacturing, have been hammered and companies have closed their doors.

Poloz had said he was puzzled by lagging exports, and recently directed his staff to prepare a discussion paper on Canadian non-energy exports.

The report noted that among the 31 subsectors of such exports, about 55 percent have been either performing as expected or outperforming their U.S. benchmarks.

Agriculture was among them. The report found that food, beverage and tobacco products, as well as farm and fishing products, have indeed grown in line with or exceeded their benchmarks.

However, the report says these products are not likely to help lead Canada’s export recovery.

“Farm and fishing products have seen strong growth that is not likely to be repeated going forward, owing to recent record farm yields,” the authors said.

That does not mean that Poloz has a negative view of ag exports, despite this year’s transportation mess.

“We expect exports to be stronger this year because the logistical constraints around that almost for sure have to ease up,” he said during a news conference.

The logistics represent “more of a mechanical thing in the forecast as opposed to whether they’ve been tracking.

“We have every reason to believe that as the U.S. market continues to gather momentum, so will those export categories.”

Poloz said there are many risks in exporting, not limited to transportation logistics. While it’s true that logistics could cause the loss of a contract, “it’s fundamentally a commodity business such that people need to buy the commodity. Relationships help you … relationships that have been built over the years, so that’s a positive which can then, if you like, be a mitigant to this problem.”

More on Poloz’s views next week.

The world knows that Canada is a source of safe, top quality agricultural products.

Now is not the time, nor will it ever be the time, for governments to restrict the farmers from doing their best to maintain this reputation and increase the industry.

Do not put the agriculture industry at risk but keep it free to grow. Making complicated laws will only put the whole industry at risk and tie up the court system.

Bill C-18 should be amended to give farmers the inalienable right to keep, clean, store, use and sell their own seed. If the seed developers want to restrict the seed that they have developed, that is up to them,

but leave heritage seeds alone and let the farmers choose which seeds they want to use.

Dale and Donna Pope, Ryley, Alta.

EVERYONE PAYS To the Editor: Behind the carefully crafted words of Richard Gray’s letter to the editor (WP, April 10) lay a fundamental truth. Farmers would be much better off with a single desk Canadian Wheat Board.

Through the board’s own referen-

dum, farmers showed support for the CWB as a single desk marketing agency. But they voted in droves for (prime minister) Stephen Harper, the man who has cost them billions of dollars. Why? That will be a question for the history books.

A major contribution of the CWB monopoly was orderly marketing: moving grain in such a way that everyone had a chance to sell it, co-ordinating loading at port, ensuring that our best customers were best served and holding the rail lines to account when they failed, even taking them to court on behalf of farmers.

Stephen Harper and his henchmen, (agriculture minister) Gerry Ritz and (MP) David Anderson, have

murdered orderly marketing. Especially galling is Anderson’s whining that in the new regime loaders of producer cars and users of short lines are being left behind.

I asked Gerry Ritz about his hurry to be rid of the single desk before the functions of the CWB could be carried on by someone else. There was no answer. There still isn’t.

Those who wanted to eliminate the CWB’s single desk are reaping what they sowed.

Sadly, they aren’t alone. Those who understood the role of the CWB and fought to save it are being equally short-changed, with rail lines and grain companies taking what once belonged to farmers.

ANOTHER TRADE OFFER To the Editor: I was planning to make an offer to the people of Saskatchewan to trade our premier for Brad Wall, but I see that an Alberta resident beat me to the punch.

A few years ago, Saskatchewan went from one of the worst governments in Canada to one of the best.

Here in B.C., we’ve gone far the other way. Alberta offered an old used “liberal” former premier and a few well-worn politicians, so I realize I will have to up the ante.

I am offering a much younger liberal premier, at least six cabinet ministers, and as an added bonus I will throw in the Vancouver Canucks. If that’s not sufficient, we could maybe throw in a couple of Gulf Islands, a good place for retired farmers to keep warm in winter. In football, sometimes when a team is not performing they trade quarterbacks. Maybe it will work in politics.

Roger Brandl, Fort St. John, B.C.

PRIVILEGE VS. RIGHT

WHAT MATTERS MOST?

Farming is not just putting seed in the ground. Everything before and after, from new technology to timing, is crucial to a successful crop. And my Syngenta Reps give me the advice I need every step of the way.

Clayton Gellner, 3rd generation farmer and Syngenta seed grower near Southey, SK

To the Editor: Re: Bill C-18 Why should there be a law giving us a privilege now when for thousands of years this was a right that no one questioned? That is downgrading that right and the first step to taking it away.

Will the next omnibus bill grant us the privilege to eat breakfast and the one after that grant the privilege to breathe?

Bill C-18 uses the word “privilege” (section 5.3) for farmers to save and clean their own seed. Privilege is the wrong word to use as a privilege is easily revoked.

A right, however, is not so easily taken away. We do not see the grain developers getting any privileges.

They are to be given rights.

It should be the right of all Canadians to grow, keep, store, clean, sell and trade their own seed.

For many years now, the large seed companies have been trying to control all of the world’s seed, the ones they have developed and common seed. This is very wrong.

The first people to come to Canada came with small bags of seed to grow and to share with other farmers.

These first settlers with their small bags of seed have given Canada one of its biggest industries. Canada exports grain all around the world.

Duane Filson, Woodrow, Sask.

MAKE SYSTEM STRONGER To the Editor: As a 46-year-old grain producer, I have seen all types of ups and downs with transportation in the ongoing grain industry.

I would like to thank all levels of government from the RMs up to the federal government, along with the opposition parties, for legislation that has been put in place for grain

movement by the rails to port.

This, I believe, is one step to help protect our long-term customers that depend on us for a steady supply of products that move out of the west.

On that note … other grain producers and other exporting industries, whether potash (or) lumber, and other rail users within Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all depend on the use of this rail to move freight out of Western Canada because it is the only way we have to move freight out of the Prairies to water.

As we grow and export more from the western provinces to our customers, we need to look at other ways to increase the speed and delivery of our freight, whether it be allowing other independent rail companies to run freight on the existing rail or building more pipelines for oil and maybe building another rail line

from Regina to the West Coast and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

I realize there is a cost, but it isn’t going to get better or any cheaper in the future as our exports grow, and we should keep building our transport system stronger not poor, and the reason I say this is look at Brazil’s transport problems.

I have travelled to Germany different times to the Hanover ag show and other parts of the country, and when people find out that you are a Canadian farmer, they have lots of good to say about us and our advancements in the agriculture sector, and this doesn’t matter if they are a farmer or equipment salesman or the common person. They do lots of reading and follow the oil industry along with potash and the ag side.

CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL To the Editor: Recent letters in The Western Producer highlight some of the problems that grain producers are presently encountering, all in the name of choice and free enterprise.

Would things be any different with the single desk wheat board?

Some opinions suggest yes. Forward planning, expert experience and dedication were the backbone of the single desk CWB. Although it’s old, there’s a saying that goes something like this: The

Conservative government, along with agriculture minister (Gerry) Ritz, and not necessarily the majority of western farmers, have made their bed, and the entire western grain crop producing industry have to sleep in it.

emember the hymn that begins, “when long before time and the world was begun … the silence was broken when God sang the song … and the rhythm began”?

Peter Davidson described how God’s grand overture became a living entity.

Those words bring to mind a clipping found in a deceased friend’s scrapbook.

“Gracious, loving God, you are the great Composer. From your creative energy comes the great Symphony of Creation.… Your divine song is sung by the sparrows, the mountain streams, the rushing wind and countless human voices … Awesome, mysterious God, dancing through time and space, you choreograph the path of the stars and the flight of the snow geese.… We rejoice to be part of your world and lift your voice in praise.”

The composer, the source of creation, gifts us with a grand musical score. Singers give voice and expression to that score that is written into the DNA of our lives and all that is living around us. The church plays the role of the accompanist: supporting and enhancing the offering.

When I listen to the thunder and watch the lightening dance across the sky, I am witness to the composition.

When I’m asked to preside over one of the rituals of the church, it is an honour and a privilege to be an accompanist to the congregants.

I, for one, have little ability when it comes to singing, but the Great Composer encourages us to give expression to this chorus in unique ways: with our pens, with our builder’s tools, with our care-giving skills, with the sincerity of our smile.

The essence of this “awesome, mysterious God” flows through us into the world around. “Our cups overflow.”

Railway revenue cap to increase Agency approves new rate | Adjusted price index to increase cost of moving grain

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Transportation Agency has approved a 4.2 percent increase to the volume related composite price index. | FILE PHOTO

Canada’s major railways have been given a green light to charge more for moving prairie grain during the 2014-15 crop year.

The Canadian Transportation Agency announced April 28 that a 4.2 percent increase has been approved for the volume related composite price index (VRCPI), which is an inflation-related factor used to determine annual railway revenue caps for grain.

Beginning Aug. 1, the VRCPI will increase to 1.3219 from 1.2691.

INCREASED SPEED AND DURABILITY NOW THAT’S SMART. Two new center-pivot Discbine® disc mower-conditioner models—13’ and 16’3” models—use larger discs to speed through tough crop conditions and the new, best-in-class WideDry™ 125-inch-wide conditioning system is 22% wider than previous models for more uniform conditioning and faster drydown. The smartest feature of all? The peace-of-mind protection you get with the exclusive three-year MowMax™ II cutterbar warranty.

The higher rate will allow Canada’s major railway companies to increase by as much as 4.2 percent the amount of revenue that they derive from moving a tonne of prairie grain through regulated railway corridors, including Thunder Bay, Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

The VRCPI limits the amount of revenue that Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway can charge for moving a unit of prairie grain, but it does not limit how much grain a railway can move.

VRCPI assesses inflationary pressures on a variety of railway costs, such as labour, fuel, maintenance, capital costs and pension liabilities.

The CTA said the 2014-15 increase in VRCPI stems from two main sources: • a 1.2 percent increase resulting from forecasted price changes for railway inputs • a three percent increase that was approved by CTA to compensate for inaccurate price forecasts used to calculate last year’s VRCPI The CTA said the three percent correction is largely attributable to the agency having under-forecasted the change in railway fuel prices for the 2013-14 crop year.

“The agency’s forecasting models for railway fuel prices rely heavily on expert, third-party forecasts for the price of crude oil and the CanadaU.S. exchange rate,” the agency said.

“In addition, the 2013 forecasts for the Canadian dollar were higher than

actually experienced and a lower dollar makes the cost of crude oil more expensive as it is purchased in U.S. dollars.”

The higher VRCPI will be applied in December 2015 when the CTA calculates CN’s and CP’s railway revenue entitlements for the 2014-15 crop year.

The CTA rejected an application by CP seeking additional VRCPI adjustments based on the cost of replacing leased hopper cars.

In 2013, CP informed the CTA that it was ending a leasing agreement with CWB and would return all leased CWB hopper cars to CWB by Aug. 1, 2013.

CP said the CWB cars removed from the fleet would be partially replaced by cars obtained through other agreements.

CP had asked that the 2014-15 VRCPI be adjusted higher to reflect the costs associated with acquiring non-CWB cars.

However, the CTA ruled that the methodology used by CP to calculate the number of replacement cars that were needed and the costs associated with obtaining those cars was “highly speculative.”

Canada’s major railways earned more than $1.1 billion moving western Canadian grain in 2012-13.

Both companies reported record revenues in 2012-13.

CP reported year-end 2013 revenues, from all sources, of $6.1 billion, up eight percent from 2012.

CN reported record full-year revenues of nearly $10.6 billion.

Seven years after the original complaint, a farmer from Lestock, Sask., who illegally drained water was convicted and fined under the province’s Water Security Agency Act. Gerald Faye and his company, GMJK Farms, were fined $11,200 in Wynyard provincial court for failing to comply with an order.

Agency spokesperson Patrick Boyle said Faye was fined $6,000 and his company, $2,000. A 40 percent victim surcharge was also applied.

Boyle said a formal complaint was made against Faye in 2007. After investigation, the agency ordered Faye to build and maintain 14 ditch blocks to close off ditches that were draining water off his land and onto adjacent land.

Faye appealed to the Water Appeal Board, which upheld the order.

The agency eventually installed the ditch blocks in the fall of 2011, and in 2013 agency staff and conservation officers from the environment ministry found another problem.

“One of the blocks was breached and seven required repair,” Boyle said.

He said the case highlights what happens when landowners drain w i t h o u t o b t a i n i n g t h e p ro p e r approvals.

However, complaints don’t usually go to the courts, he added.

“This is the last resort for us,” he said.

“Usually we get them solved at the first stages.”

The first stage is a request for assistance from a landowner concerned about someone else’s actions. The complainant must demonstrate that reasonable effort was made to resolve the problem. A written request to the agency can be filed if that didn’t happen.

The agency will investigate and either make recommendations or dismiss the complaint.

Boyle said the vast majority of concerns are addressed at this point. However, a formal complaint process is available if a resolution can’t be found.

In the Faye case, the agency went through all possible steps and ultimately ended up in court.

Boyle said this was only the second fine levied under the current legislation. The first was for $3,500.

He said about 100 complaints at various stages of completion are currently before the agency.

New agricultural drainage regulations and policy are in the works. An online consultation ended March 31, and more detailed stakeholder discussions will now take place.

Draft legislation is expected to be ready for 2015.

Ergot threat grows with brome grass discovery Reports of poisoning rise | Producers urged to take and test feed samples to ensure quality and safety

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Ergot has moved into brome grass, which is causing concern for those watching the spread of the toxic fungus and dealing with the fallout.

Barry Blakley, a toxicologist and head of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s veterinary biomedical sciences department, said he used to receive one or two calls a year about ergot poisoning. Now he gets four or five a day.

“It is the number one problem right today in livestock,” he said.

There have been several wrecks in feedlots, dairies, sheep operations and to a lesser extent cow-calf operations, he added.

Blakley has several theories about the increasing number of poisonings but said the fact that the fungus has been able to find new hosts is significant.

Ergot was historically found in rye.

“We’re seeing it in wheat, and in barley, and in oats and the really bad news is that we’re seeing it in brome grass,” Blakley said.

“That’s where I think the real problem is.”

He said ergot will actually replace the seed in the head of grass or grain.

Brome grass that isn’t cut is a good host and distributor.

“The ergot is implanting in the brome grass, and it’s a fungus, so it slowly spreads into the field,” he said.

“The brome grass has to be brought under control.”

Anecdotal data from Alberta shows that ergot spread is minimal in counties that cut ditches, which doesn’t allow brome grass to head out. Counties that don’t cut have problems.

The wetter springs of the past several years have contributed to the problem. Blakley said conditions in June, when the grasses are flowering, affect the spread. A hot, dry June would limit that ability.

Another factor is the move to no-till or low-till, which means the ergot isn’t ground into the soil and eaten by bugs as it would be in a summerfallow or tillage situation.

Cattle that eat feed contaminated with high levels of ergot suffer gangrene and lose limbs. Euthanasia is the only option.

Ergot poisoning also shuts down milk production. Blakley said one of the cases he investigated this year saw a flock of ewes unable to feed their lambs.

“My advice to the dairy farmers is really you shouldn’t feed any crop that contains any level of ergot in it or you’re asking for trouble,” he said.

Blakley said the biggest problem he has seen in rations is in pellets with

weed screenings. Ergot can’t be easily separated from the screenings, and he said there is some suggestion the pelleting process enhances ergot’s viability.

Producers who are concerned about what they are feeding their livestock should have their feed tested, and Blakley said a proper sample is required because ergot doesn’t present uniformly. Samples that were supposed to be uniform have shown a 10-fold range in levels, he added.

He advised producers to take 20 or 30 samples from a bin, mix them

together well and then submit a sample of that for testing.

Testing is also finding that the concentration of the actual harmful chemical varies widely, even within ergot particles. It’s why counting particles in a feed sample isn’t a good way to determine safety.

Weighing the ergot isn’t ideal either because it won’t indicate how much chemical is present.

“Chemical analysis is the real indication of what’s there.”

Blakley said producers shouldn’t be too quick to blame pellets for ergot poisoning.

He uses an acceptable range of 100 to 200 parts per billion when analyzing samples.

In one case this year, a sheep producer who was feeding pellets, green feed and silage blamed the pellets for his sick sheep.

Testing showed the pellets had ergot up to 250 p.p.b., but Blakley said he believed the sheep were sicker than they should be for that amount and asked for samples of the other feed.

The silage showed no ergot contamination.

“The green feed had 15,000 p.p.b. in it,” Blakley said.

“That’s your problem right there.”

Prairie Diagnostic Services is able to analyze feed samples for ergot.

Blakley said promising work in Europe, where ergot is a big problem, suggests that binders in pellets can render the ergot unavailable.

“Some producers here are putting activated charcoal in their pellets,” he said.

“That is binding the ergot. What I don’t know is does that bind the vitamins and a few other things that are needed.”

O t h e r re s e a rc h i s l o o k i n g a t enzymes in pellets to break down the ergot.

Blakley said this is not yet approved in Canada.

Heavy ice delays start of shipping season Shipping underway | Grain terminals near capacity at Port of Thunder Bay as shipping season starts almost a month late

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The 2014 shipping season at the Port of Thunder Bay is officially underway.

The first grain ship of the season arrived at Thunder Bay, Ont., April 22, three or four weeks later than normal, said Tim Heney, the port’s chief executive officer.

MV Algoma Enterprise docked at Richardson’s Current River Terminal and was loaded with 26,000 tonnes of prairie wheat. The shipment, now en route to Port Cartier, Que., was the first grain to leave Thunder Bay since the close of the 2013 shipping season more than three months ago.

“It (ship traffic) is starting to build up now,” Heney said April 25.

“There’s two other ships in port right now and about 20 more on the way, so it’s going to be quite a surge. A lot of ships have been waiting to get in for some time now so it’ll be busy for the foreseeable future.”

Heney said Thunder Bay’s first boat normally arrives around March 25.

This year, heavy ice delayed ship traffic on Lake Superior, creating a backlog of grain at the port.

It was the coldest March ever recorded at Thunder Bay. There is still two-thirds ice cover on Lake Superior.

The Algoma Enterprise took more than two weeks to travel from Port Colborne, Ont., to Thunder Bay, a voyage that takes three days in ideal conditions.

As of April 25, ice breakers were still escorting ships along some parts of the route.

Incoming ships are making the trip to Thunder Bay in convoys of two to four.

“It’s been a stubborn year,” Heney said.

The opening of shipping lanes did

The first shipment of prairie grain at Port of Thunder Bay was loaded April 22. | not come a moment too soon for the port’s terminal operators.

Grain terminals were at or near capacity by the time the first boat arrived.

“I think there was some concern before the season opened that (terminals weren’t going) to be able to

receive any more cars, but I think, now that the ships are here, that fear has passed,” Heney said.

Rail service to the port has been increasing consistently over the past few weeks, from 870 cars a week in late March to 1,200 cars a week by mid-to-late April.

Despite the late start, Heney said the port should have no problem surpassing last year’s grain volumes.

With a record backlog of prairie grain still waiting to be moved, shippers are anticipating a busy year.

“I think we’ll have a better year than last year, that’s for sure.”

About 5.5 million tonnes of grain were shipped through Thunder Bay in 2013, down a million tonnes from 2012.

Heney said 20 lake-sized vessels are currently lined up to move grain out of Thunder Bay. Larger salt water vessels will also begin arriving in early May.

Corn, soybean expansion projected Short season varieties | Monsanto expects crop to cut into wheat and barley acres

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

If Monsanto’s calculations are right, prairie farmers could be growing eight to 10 million acres of corn and six to eight million acres of soybeans a year once short season varieties are available.

Such a change would significantly reduce wheat and barley acreage in most of Manitoba and much of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“If farmers could average 110 bushels per acre, corn is king, canola is second and soybeans are third,” Monsanto Canada vice-president for strategy Neil Arbuckle told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

“Wheat, barley and others (fall) behind by a substantial margin.”

Arbuckle said prairie farmers should begin seeing new short-season corn hybrids by the late 2010s or early 2020s, while with soybeans “the march westward has commenced.”

Monsanto’s recent $100 million

investment in Western Canada friendly corn variety breeding was based on its analysis of how farmers in Ontario and North Dakota reacted once they could achieve 110 bushel per acre yields.

“Growers began increasing their corn acres and reducing their wheat acres,” said Arbuckle.

“Corn, canola and soybeans all increased in acres, mostly at the expense of wheat and barley.”

Relative maturity must be reduced to a maximum value of 70, or about 20,000 heat units, if corn and soybean acres are to spread beyond the tiny pockets of production now possible. Arbuckle said Monsanto hopes relative maturity of 67 to 69 is possible.

Twenty-six million acres in Western Canada could host corn and soybean crops, but Arbuckle said Monsanto doesn’t expect to see that acreage develop quickly, even when the first good hybrids are available for the new areas.

“We expect it is going to take a while for the breeders to deliver and a while for farmers to warm up to the idea and a while for the industry to warm up to the idea and make the investments to handle this crop,” said Arbuckle.

All competing crops will lose acreage in the new corn and soybean z o n e a s t h e n e w c ro p s a r r i v e.

Monsanto estimates that wheat acreage will fall 30 percent and canola 25 percent, while other smaller acreage crops will all lose some of their share.

Canola, while losing acres, will still be an attractive crop for farmers based on returns.

“We also think that canola acres can be maintained in that geography as well, in the five and a half to six million acre range,” said Arbuckle.

The six to eight million acres of soybeans and eight to 10 million acres of corn will fit well into prairie farmers’ rotation, he added, which will allow improved weed control because of the new diversity of choices.

EXPANSION AHEAD FOR SOYBEANS, CORN? Monsanto believes that crop breeding advancements could create a 26 million acre zone in Western Canada that could grow corn and soybeans.

If varieties are good enough, Monsanto thinks prairie farmers could annually grow eight to 10 million acres of corn and six to eight million acres of soybeans, or more than half that total acreage. The orange area is the likely corn-soybean zone, while the green areas represent where corn is grown today. The grey areas show all cultivated crop areas.

RAIL HAULING | SAFETY

New rail safety rules introduced

Moving more grain in what are considered slow periods would use rail capacity more efficiently and may prevent winter congestion. |

GRAIN MOVEMENT | IMPROVING SERVICE

DRIVING ON THE SHOULDERS

Year round grain sales needed for optimal service Slow season sales | Trying to move a glut of grain during winter makes farmers vulnerable

Rail car shipments of grain tend to have their greatest annual volume during winter, but it’s actually easier to haul more grain in the warmer spring and summer months. Canadian National Railway and grain companies hope more grain can be moved in the slack, easier months so that epic bottlenecks like this year’s won’t be as devastating. This graphic shows how in a year like 2011-12, there are two shoulder-like periods beside the head of peak grain shipments. The shoulders could be levelled up to move more grain. In 2011-12, CN moved 205,000 hopper cars with an average payload of 88.4 tonnes per car.

Farmers will see something this spring and summer that almost never happens in the prairie grain business: rail car shipments running at a record pace.

It’s good for moving the present backlog, but grain company and railway executives also think it exposes an annual missed opportunity to reduce farmer vulnerability and potential system breakdowns.

“It’s an opportunity going forward,” Cargill Canada president Jeff Vassart said April 16 in an interview during the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

“I think that’s one of the reasons we feel so confidently that we can do more. How do you utilize that back half of the year?”

year, when relatively few cars are hauling grain. And then there is a big bulge in the middle months of September to March, when all the grain that grain companies can ship is shipped.

Canadian National Railways executive vice president Jean-Jacques Ruest said moving more grain in those “shoulder” periods is key to reducing vulnerability to winter congestion and system breakdown.

“One needs to take that risk (of winter breakdown or slowdown) into account.”

Ruest said CN wants to be “running flat-out” for the rest of this crop year and into the early weeks of next crop

year. However, it also hopes grain companies are able to move more grain in the traditionally slow months of future years.

Vassart said Cargill shares that vision and hopes large farmer investments in state-of-the-art storage can give grain companies better options for spring and summer sales.

“We see farmers making significant investments to be able to continue to utilize the supply chain through that (spring and summer window), and we have the infrastructure too.”

He said farmers now have good, aerated bin systems that are located where trucks can reach them in spring, when road bans and other problems make it difficult to move grain off the farm.

The challenge now is to get it all connected for late crop year deliveries so that slower periods can provide an outlet for the busy winter season, he added.

“Historically, what we’ve seen is that we get to February forward and we’re not fully utilizing all the capacity that we have,” said Vassart.

Transport Canada has introduced new railway safety regulations aimed at reducing the risks associated with the transportation of dangerous goods such as gasoline, diesel fuel and crude oil.

Federal transport minister Lisa Raitt announced the measures April 23.

The regulations, which include reduced speeds for trains carrying dangerous goods, stem from a Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigation into a July 2013 train derailment and explosion that killed 47 people in Lac Megantic, Que. “The measures … improve the safety of the railway and transportation of dangerous goods systems from coast to coast to coast,” Raitt said in a news release.

These are among requirements: • All trains hauling dangerous goods must reduce speeds to 50 miles per hour or less when moving through populated or high-risk areas.

• All Dot-111 tanker cars used to transport crude oil and other dangerous goods must be retrofitted or removed from railway fleets within three years.

• Railway companies must develop emergency response assistance plans for trains that haul dangerous goods.

• A task force including municipalities, first responders, railways and shippers must be created to discuss and strengthen emergency response efforts.

Canadian Pacific Railway welcomed the announcement that Dot111 cars will be phased out but expressed disappointment with other parts of the regulations.

CP chief executive officer Hunter Harrison said in a news release that the company supports increased tank car safety standards, but reducing train speeds is not a solution to rail safety because it is does not address accident causes.

CP has said the use of cameras in locomotives to monitor employees and the introduction of programs aimed at reducing grade crossings would be more effective ways to enhance rail safety.

PLANT PATHOLOGY | RON HOWARD

Retiring pathologist has full calendar

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There will be no easy chair and fuzzy slippers for Alberta Agriculture plant pathologist Ron Howard as he begins official retirement May 1.

In fact, it sounds as if retirement will look a lot like his regular job, albeit with shorter hours and greater freedom to choose his tasks.

Howard has worked for 39 years at the Brooks Crop Diversification Centre, where he has studied an estimated four dozen crops ranging from canola to tomatoes.

The scientist and researcher is a frequent presenter at crop field days

and has worked with researchers in other parts of Canada as well as China.

Howard admits there is a list of home and yard renovations awaiting him, but he has also established his own company through which he will continue research work.

“There’s a real shortage of plant pathologists in Alberta, and the folks that have the regular jobs, like Mike Harding, my successor, are carrying a heavy load on their shoulders,” said Howard.

“I’m not going to set up a laboratory in my basement and turn myself into a research station. I don’t want to make that sort of investment. I’m

going to be working with people who have field plots and labs and greenhouses, where I can come in and assist with the work.”

He is already planning alfalfa fungicide trials and has been booked for crop disease presentations this summer.

The seemingly tireless researcher said he won’t miss 60-hour work weeks or the daily barrage of emails and phone calls.

However, activity is part of his personal makeup because even his leisure pursuits, as a dance instructor and a black belt in karate and judo, ensure he is constantly on the move.

The one thing that hasn’t moved in 39 years is his workplace. He obtained his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin after earning bachelor a n d ma s t e r ’s d e g re e s i n p l a nt pathology at the University of Saskatchewan.

“When I graduated, there was a job open at Brooks here for a plant pathologist and I got the job and 39 years later, here we are,” he said.

“A lot of people ask, ‘how could you possibly stay in one spot for 39 years when people usually stay three or four years and then they move?’ I just felt that I had everything I needed here, so why venture off elsewhere?”

Howard said he was glad of the

opportunity to train his successor and ensure that plant pathology research and extension carry on from the Brooks base.

Harding, who began working with Howard in 2004, speaks of his mentor’s encyclopedic knowledge, experience and work ethic.

“I soon learned why Ron is a national and international authority on many topics,” said Harding.

“He is a perpetual learner with a photographic memory, and keeps a work pace that few could match. I also discovered that his scientific and educational excellence was balanced with patience, humility and compassion.”

Ken Coles, head of the Farming Smarter applied research organization, agreed.

“He has been wonderful to work with,” he said.

“No matter what it was when we were working on a trial, if we ever needed help, he was always there.

Every extension event that we invited him to, I don’t think he’s ever said no.

He’s the epitome of professional.”

Howard speaks highly of his scientific colleagues and staff in Brooks but also of the many farmers he has met and worked with.

The diverse crop mix of southern Alberta provided a variety of subjects for study and disease diagnosis.

“No two days were the same,” he said. “And if you ever had any doubts who you were working for, just look out the front window.”

Howard’s list of academic achievements, professional organization memberships and awards is extensive. He has published more than 1,000 articles and edited a book on diseases and pests of vegetable crops that has sold thousands of copies worldwide.

He developed a computer retrieval system allowing searches of fungicides and fumigants, which researchers and pesticide companies use across Canada.

He led the design team for two major expansions of the Brooks research centre, the most recent a $16 million greenhouse project.

Howard is an adjunct professor at the University of Alberta, and in 2008 he won the Dow AgroSciences Innovation in Agriculture award.

He has been recognized at various times, and for various aspects of his work, by Agriculture Canada, Alberta Agriculture, Alberta Pulse Growers, the Plant Pathology Society of Alberta, the Canadian Phytopathological Society, the Alberta Greenhouse Growers Association, the Canadian Seed Growers Association and Potato Growers of Alberta.

“It’s been quite a busy career, I must say,” Howard said.

“As I look back on my time in agricultural research, it’s been a wonderful experience.”

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

Is a dress made out of chicken wire scratchy?

Artist Jolene Dusyk said the answer is no, as long as it’s lined with window screen.

“Window screen turns out to be really soft if you roll the edges,” she said of her wearable art dress.

The chicken wire creation flew out of Dusyk’s imagination while she was reading a Saskatchewan Craft Council bulletin calling for entries to the province’s first Wearable Art Gala.

The longtime Saskatchewan glass jewelry designer saw the Saskatoon

fundraising gala as an opportunity to spread her wings.

“I happened to be driving by the Co-op Agro Centre and I thought, ‘I’ll give myself a $100 budget and I’ll see what I can come up with using only things that I can buy at the Co-op,’ ” she said.

The Montmartre artist began experimenting with chicken wire.

She twisted it, sewed it and painted it white, eventually coming up with a dress shape she liked. With the addition of ruched and pleated window screen as a lining, the dress took shape.

“At one point, I was concerned that it was beginning to look like a kinder-

garten craft project, but once I started adding the glass, I started to see the real potential,” said Dusyk.

The glass included 195 individual pieces handmade by Dusyk. She uses a flame to heat coloured glass rods and turn them into flowers, leaves and nests. With about $2,000 worth of glass embellishments, half of which glowed in the dark, Dusyk gained confidence that her creation was worthy of the contest.

The piece de resistance was an old piece of baler twine that Dusyk got from an area farmer.

“It was greasy and smelly and dirty and awesome,” she said.

It resulted in a strapless ball gown

Exhibition curator Les Potter called it an astounding piece.

“Because of the use of materials, found materials, that you wouldn’t associate at all with apparel. I mean,

chicken wire?” he said.

With one win under her chickenwire belt, Dusyk is now working on a whole line of wearable art that will be made from Montmartre Co-op Agro Centre goods.

HEALTH | NURSE PRACTITIONERS

Sask. program keeps nurses working while upgrading

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A new strategy is expected to encourage more nurse practitioners to practise in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan.

Leland Sommer, president elect of the Saskatchewan Association of Nu r s e P r a c t i t i o n e r s, s a i d t h e recruitment program includes four initiatives to be phased in over two years.

The program was recently announced by the provincial government and designed largely by nurse practitioners.

A critical component, called Grow Your Own, will pay registered nurses’ wages and benefits for up to two years while they take nurse practitioner training, as long as they work for the next five years in the sponsoring health region.

Sommer said this addresses a flaw in the province’s student loan forgiveness program and helps established residents stay in their communities while providing primary care.

“We have to be registered nurses for a minimum of two years before we can train and educate as nurse practitioners,” he said.

“So none of the nurses that were taking that education would be able to even get a student loan.”

He said many nurses working in rural or remote areas can’t afford the time off or the money to take the extra training.

“What this allows is for those nurse practitioners to concentrate on their education, be provided a salary in their home communities, take their education and complete the education quickly.”

Sommer, who practices in Cupar, Southey and Regina Beach, worked full-time weekend rotations for five years while obtaining his master’s degree as a nurse practitioner.

Cupar has visiting physician service one day a week. Southey did not have a doctor for six years before Sommer arrived in May 2012, and Regina Beach has never had primary service.

Nurse practitioners are able to assess and diagnose patients, order medications and diagnostics and do minor in-office surgical procedures.

The strategy will cost the province $250,000 per year and applies in communities with populations of less than 10,000.

Other aspects of the program include establishing a locum pool for nurse practitioners, allowing health regions to move vacant nursing positions within the region to communities with a need for a nurse practitioner, and relocation grants of up to $40,000 over five years for those who practice in hard-to-recruit positions or locations.

There is no particular target, but the number of nurse practitioners has grown by 70 percent to 170, indicating a need and a demand.

“Our numbers show that we have 24 vacancies and over the next five years we’re going to need 40 more nurse practitioners so we’re certainly working towards that,” Weekes said.

HEALTH CARE COSTS RISE DISPROPORTIONALLY

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadians in the lowest income brackets saw the greatest increase i n o u t o f p o c k e t h e a l t h - c a re expenses, according to a 12 year survey.

The study, based on Statistics Canada data on household spending from 1997 to 2009, found that costs increased for all Canadians for insurance plans, dental care and prescriptions, but the lowest 20 percent of income earners had the greatest increases.

Study co-author Michael Law of the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Health Services and Policy Research said costs for this group jumped by 63 percent to more than $1,000 from $600, after adjustments were made for inflation.

“That’s growth in expenditures in the group that’s least likely to afford them,” he said.

“Canadians often talk of health care being free, but this study highlights that significant portions of health care are not free.”

He said the increased costs can significantly affect self-employed

workers such as farmers or those who don’t have access to workplace health plans.

“If someone working in agriculture needs vision and dental care, it’s out of pocket,” he said.

Law said it could mean reducing use of health-care services or skipping a dose of medicine to extend its run or not filling it at all.

He said the implication is that access to services that fall outside of hospital and doctor visits are be-

coming less equal across different income brackets.

Reasons for the rise could include: • increased demand for health services as Canadians age • health-care costs rising beyond the level of inflation • costs being transferred or delisted by government or private insurance plans Law is currently studying Canadians who cannot afford prescription drugs, the types of drugs they are

taking, tradeoffs they’re making to access their medicines and the long-term effects on costs in the health-care system.

“As a country that pays for hospital care, you might think of paying for prescriptions if it would stop them from using other types of care we do pay for,” he said.

“We’re squeezing the balloon at one end by not paying for prescription drugs only to have it blow up on the other end.”

ON THE FARM | CATTLE AND COMPUTERS

Couple combines careers with farm lifestyle Juggling job and kids | City folk pleased to join cattle operation

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BIRTLE, Man. — Dorelle and Tyler Fulton are urban professionals who live nowhere near a city.

Their jobs are based in Winnipeg and Calgary, but they both live and work on a family cattle operation just east of the Saskatchewan border in beautiful parkland south of Riding Mountain National Park.

The park and family history plucked them from a chic downtown Winnipeg loft apartment with 23 foot high ceilings and placed them beside the family herd of commercial cattle.

They couldn’t be happier.

“We thought that it might work for a year, but here we are seven years into it,” said Dorelle, marvelling at how well farm and professional life have meshed due to the miracles of the internet and progressive employers.

Dorelle is an accountant and financial manager who now works for Parks Canada. Tyler is the director of risk management for Hams Marketing, which markets hogs for farmers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Both perform their professional jobs via phone and computer, something that was not possible 10 or 15 years ago in distant rural locations like this.

They moved to the farm because Dorelle was able to find an accountancy job with Parks Canada in the national park. Tyler was able to move his job with Hams from the office in Winnipeg to Birtle.

Only a couple of months after applying for the Parks Canada job, Dorelle found out she was pregnant.

She was offered the job a month later.

She thought her pregnancy might ruin that opportunity because she would soon need to go off on leave.

“They said, ‘no, we still want you,’ ” said Dorelle.

They moved to western Manitoba as soon as she got the job. She worked two months and then was off on maternity leave with twins: a boy and a girl.

Dorelle and Tyler Fulton have home-based professional careers and contribute to the family cattle operation near Birtle, Man. | After two years off work with Evan and Mae, Dorelle went back to work for Parks Canada two days a week.

Then the Calgary job with Parks Canada came up and she decided to apply.

The Calgary manager in charge of hiring already had one staff member telecommuting from Montreal, so having Dorelle work by computer from rural Manitoba was no big deal to him. She got the job.

Tyler loves his risk management job, having studied agricultural economics at the University of Manitoba and getting student jobs with the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange before arriving at the Manitoba Pork Marketing Co-operative — the precursor to Hams — 15 years ago.

Being able to move the position to Birtle helped him with his goal of getting back to the family farm.

Tyler and Dorelle were experiencing as downtown a life as is possible in Winnipeg, living in the centre of the Exchange District at the top of a heritage building.

However, Tyler wanted to move back home and get involved in the

family cattle business. Dorelle is a city girl with few rural connections, but she wanted the farm life too.

“We started spending a lot of weekends out here, and I really enjoyed it,” said Dorelle.

“Wide open spaces, riding a little 50 (all-terrain vehicle) around to check the corn crop, playing with the dogs: I liked it all.”

Moving to Birtle put them into the middle of the family cattle operation, which has grown to 450 calves.

Tyler and Dorelle share the management, resources and revenues for the cattle with Tyler’s parents, although all assets are owned separately and revenues are divided

according to each family’s contribution to production, both in terms of resources and labour.

The herd produces commercial cattle, with the family doing most of its own backgrounding and selling most of the calves at about 900 pounds.

The animals are pastured and hayfed from a base of 4,400 acres.

Tyler’s father, David, has exported hay to high-priced U.S. markets for most of the past few decades, shipping small square bales. The business was helped by his master’s degree in animal nutrition.

The export business continued for a few years after Tyler returned to the farm, with about one-third of the farm’s hay crop going to “Florida for racehorse markets, Colorado for the mule train market, Minnesota and Wisconsin dairies.”

Hay exports were lucrative in 2012 as the U.S. Midwest drought devastated supplies and feed prices soared. Tyler found his market analysis skills pushing the farm in the opposite direction from building the cow herd because feed grain prices were rising and feeder cattle prices

were softening.

“You wanted to be long on hay and short on cattle,” said Tyler.

Taking advantage of sky-high hay prices was worth reducing the herd, even though the ranch hedged its calves against price declines.

They sold many of their calves earlier than planned to be able to export more hay. However, the feed grain market has since peaked and livestock prices began to soar. As a result, the Fultons have gone the other way, reducing hay sales to almost zero and keeping calves longer.

“We really want to be able to maximize our own production for our own purposes,” said Tyler.

Apart from a handful of small sales to local buyers, the family now keeps all their hay and feeds it to their cattle.

Balancing professional careers and children is stressful for many young couples. For the Fultons, it’s been the opposite, bringing together all the things they love in their lives.

“I love the job I have because I wake up on the farm, I get to see my kids go off to school, then my job starts,” said Dorelle.

MENOPAUSE | DRUG SIDE-EFFECTS

Replacement hormone therapy has risks, side-effects HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I am in my fifties. To deal with hot flashes and night sweats, my doctor suggested I try a shortterm course of Premarin. After 2 1/2 weeks, those inconvenient symptoms did subside, but then horrific painful headaches (migraines, nausea) swiftly arrived with a vengeance.

The advice was to stop the Premarin as soon as possible and, within the span of one missed dose, vaginal bleeding began and has continued since, as have the headaches. What should I do?

A:

Premarin is often prescribed to help women cope with the unpleasant symptoms of menopause.

Hot flashes can be upsetting. Poor sleep can account for the irritability and moodiness that some women experience during menopause.

However, replacement hormone therapy is not without risks and sideeffects. Estrogens increase the chance of getting cancer of the uterus, but taking a progestin type of

hormone such as Provera can help reduce this risk.

You do not state whether you are taking Provera as well as Premarin, but it is contraindicated in people who are prone to migraine headaches because it can act as a trigger.

Perhaps this was the cause of your problem, rather than estrogen.

Vaginal bleeding or spotting can be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus, but in your case, it is most likely caused by sudden estrogen withdrawal. It is similar to stopping the birth control pill once a month to precipitate a monthly period.

It should stop in a few days. If not, check with your doctor. Other commonly reported side-effects of Pre-

marin are nausea, loss of appetite, stomach cramps and leg cramps.

Using estrogens, with or without progestins, may increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer and blood clots. Estrogens, with or without progestins, may also increase your chance of getting dementia over the age of 65.

Because of these risks, Premarin should be only used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration required to control your symptoms. You were on the lowest dose.

Premarin should not be used if you have had breast or uterine cancer, a stroke or heart attack, blood clots or liver problems or are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medication.

Interactions may occur with blood thinners such as Coumadin, thyroid medications, insulin, oral diabetes medicine, Rifampin, Ketoconazole or Itraconazole, seizure medicines, barbiturates or anti-depressants.

Make sure to tell the doctor all medications you use and make sure to have a checkup once or twice a year while taking the hormone replacement therapy.

If you are not able to tolerate Premarin, there are other estrogen medications available. A commonly used alternative is called Estrace (Estradiol).

DINNER FOR ONE | COOKING SUGGESTIONS

WEDDINGS | PLANNING

Variety is the spice of life when cooking for one Wedding decisions TEAM RESOURCES SPEAKING OF LIFE

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

C

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

ooking for one person is challenging and requires an open mind and an adventurous palate to make mealtime interesting.

A routine is important because it not only prepares your body to expect food at a certain time but it tells you when to start cooking. Regular meals are best but also plan adequate snacks.

Variety is key. Don’t get caught making the same thing all the time.

Take advantage of finding that freshly caught pickerel at the grocery store to break the tedium of everyday meals.

Make use of leftovers. Plan a second meal or a bonus dinner when you cook. Incorporate the main ingredient into your meal for the next day with different vegetables.

Don’t hoard the good stuff. Time passes and freezer burn happens.

Don’t waste the food or the opportunity to make a nice meal for yourself.

Freeze leftovers in individual meal sized containers.

Grilling is another opportunity to create a special meal. Grill an extra steak and slice leftovers for a Caesar salad the next day. While the grill is hot, cook up extra vegetables.

Two of my favourites when cooking for myself are chicken paillards and pork tenderloin. A paillard is a thinly sliced piece of boneless meat that has been pounded thin and cooks quickly without losing moisture.

A chicken breast can be sliced in half horizontally and pounded to make a thin piece. Versatile pork tenderloin also cooks quickly and is smaller than a roast. Be sure to remove the silver skin to avoid toughness.

CHICKEN PAILLARDS WITH CLEMENTINE SALSA 1 chicken breast 1 clementine or orange, peeled, diced 1/4 c. cherry tomatoes, 125 mL quartered 2 tbsp. finely diced red 30 mL onion 2 tbsp. finely diced celery 30 mL 1 tbsp. coarsely chopped 15 mL fresh cilantro 2 tsp. extra-virgin 10 mL olive oil 2 tsp. fresh lime juice 10 mL 1 serrano or jalapeno chili, seeded, minced 2 tsp. olive oil 10 mL 2 tbsp. fresh clementine 30 mL or orange juice Place chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or heavy pan, pound chicken to 1/4inch thickness. It can be made a day ahead. Cover and chill.

Q:

My boyfriend and I are getting married in about a year. That gives us plenty of time to plan the wedding. The biggest problem for us is that people are telling us what to do. We feel torn. We want our families and friends to celebrate with us.

The last thing we want to do is disappoint or hurt anyone.

How can we do this with so many people pulling us in so many different directions?

A:

Serve bourbon and apple marinated pork, top, or tenderloin chicken paillards with clementine salsa, left, with a wedge of iceberg salad. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTOS slightly browned and cooked through, about three minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Add clementine juice to skillet, boil until reduced to 1/4 cup (60 mL), stirring often, about two minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken.

Spoon salsa over it and serve.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH MADEIRA SAUCE Soak two tablespoons (30 mL) dried mushrooms for half an hour in boiling water. Finely chop the mushrooms and saute them with a tablespoon (15 mL) of shallots. Add a smashed clove of garlic. Saute for another minute and add a splash of Madeira wine. Reduce until almost dry, then add the reserved mushroom soaking liquid with chicken broth to equal one cup (250 mL) and a pinch of dried rosemary.

Reduce to a moderately thick sauce by gently simmering. Meanwhile, quickly fry the medallions of pork.

Serve the medallions with stir-fried green peppers and grape tomatoes.

BOURBON AND APPLE MARINATED PORK TENDERLOIN 1 c.

Mix marinade ingredients in a small saucepan and heat for approximately 20 minutes until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Place tenderloin in a sealed plastic bag with the marinade and refrigerate overnight to absorb the flavours.

When ready to prepare, remove tenderloin from the marinade, pat dry and set aside. Grill or pan grill until done, approximately 45 minutes. Turn periodically until an internal temperature of approximately 155 F (70 C) is reached. The marinade can be cooked down until it is half the volume and used as a sauce.

Remove, loosely cover with foil and let meat rest for 10 minutes, slice and serve with a drizzle of the reduced sauce and baked sweet potatoes.

1/2 c. mayonnaise 125 mL 1/2 c. blue cheese, 125 mL crumbled 1/4 c. plain non-fat yogurt 60 mL

2 tbsp. buttermilk 30 mL 1 1/2 tbsp. white wine vinegar 20 mL freshly cracked black pepper 1 large head of iceberg lettuce, each cut into quarters 1 green onion, chopped 4 slices pancetta, prosciutto or bacon This salad is best if the lettuce is washed the previous day. Wash iceberg lettuce by removing the stem, run cold water through the head and invert to drain. Wrap in a clean tea towel and refrigerate.

Whisk mayonnaise, 1/4 cup (60 mL) blue cheese, yogurt, buttermilk and vinegar in medium bowl until almost smooth. Mix in remaining blue cheese.

Season dressing with cracked black pepper. It can be kept refrigerated for one week.

Cut the pancetta, prosciutto or bacon into bite-sized pieces and saute until crispy.

Cut head of lettuce into quarters and place one-quarter on a plate.

Spoon dressing over lettuce. Garnish with green onions, crispy bacon and serve.

Traditionally, a wedding was a time when families and friends could come together to celebrate and support the loving and caring relationship two people shared. Apparently getting that harmony and support from families and friends is a little more difficult these days.

Families are scattered, friends are following career paths that may distract them from celebrating your relationship and parents may be struggling with the pains of their own divorces to support you fully.

If you are trying to please everyone on your list, you are setting an impossible task that will add unnecessary stress.

Your best bet is to take a weekend as a couple and figure out what you want for your wedding. The clearer the two of you are in what you expect your wedding to be, the less vulnerable you will be to the countless suggestions that well-meaning friends and family invariably make.

Don’t forget that this is your day and you are the ones who will live with whatever you plan for the day.

Your key to good planning is your comfort level. If you are not at ease wearing that spectacular bridal gown, it will not look good on you.

This is the same for the entire wedding day.

You need to have some comfort with your guest list, the music you choose should be what you would normally enjoy and the ceremony needs to reflect what you and your fiance see as the strength of your relationship.

Spiritual people will want to commit strongly to the church through their wedding vows, while others may prefer to highlight their love for each other in their presence of family and friends.

Others see the ritual in the ceremony as a simple step, giving them permission to later reaffirm the strength of their commitments to one other.

Once you have decided your comfort level, the rest is easy. You can talk to your families and friends and pore over the many wedding resources.

As long as you do not get caught pleasing others, you could and should have a lot of fun figuring it out.

GRASSES | HOW TO USE

Ornamental grasses add texture, depth to containers, garden IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

Warm season grasses do not emerge until the heat of summer and look their best in the fall

O

rnamental grasses have grown in popularity, and whether hardy perennial grasses, tender tropical grasses or both are used, they will create interesting features.

Grasses are great in containers because they combine well with other plants but can stand on their own. Purple fountain grass will give height and texture to a mixed container, while fibre optic grass creates interest in containers by themselves.

When you use grasses exclusively, consider those with unusual colour or texture in coloured containers.

Clumps of grasses planted here and there in borders add interest and texture, and their grassy foliage contrasts with the mounded forms of nearby plants.

Use grasses with an upright growth habit, such as Karl Forrester feather reed grass, to give a vertical dimension to a border or use clumps of softly textured grasses, such as blue fescue, to soften the front edge of a bed.

Ornamental grasses will help to soften areas such as driveways, patios and pool decks. Grasses are good choices because they create less litter than other plants.

Create a formal feel in part of the garden by planting a clump of tall

grass in each of two matching and equally stunning containers and use them as gateposts to a garden room or entranceway.

Clumps of medium height and tall grasses such as variegated Overdam feather reed grass and ribbon grass make great focal points when placed further back in a border.

No plant performs as well as grasses to create autumn and winter accents.

Left intact, clumps of ornamental grasses will provide vivid accents in the fall and winter landscape.

Grasses can also accentuate garden art. A clump of upright grass situated beside a garden sculpture acts as a foil for the art piece, creating a perfect tableau.

Ornamental grasses attract birds to the garden. Birds will feed on the seed heads and perch on the stalks, particularly in the winter.

Tall grasses create a screen to separate a utilitarian area of the garden, such as a vegetable patch, from the rest of the landscape. A few wellplaced clumps will stop the eye from focusing beyond the grass clumps.

Many shorter grasses, such as variegated oat grass, have tawny, blue or even variegated foliage and make excellent ground covers.

In some situations, a mass planting of a medium height grass, such as ribbon grass, makes a good ground cover that is easy care and drought tolerant.

Xeriscapes are perfect settings for clumping grasses. They add texture, colour and interest to a xeriscape in combination with decorative rocks and objects.

If interested in creating a natural meadow garden, choose native grasses to accompany the indigenous flowering plants to add authenticity to the meadow.

SASKATCHEWAN WHEAT DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION | PERSONNEL CHANGES

Sask. wheat, barley groups on hunt for managers Top official moves to Alta. | Barley group has decided to hire its own manager after a year of sharing with the wheat commission

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The top executive at the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission is moving west, where pastures are a different shade of green.

Tom Steve, who was hired as the commission’s general manager less than a year ago, will be the new general manager of the Alberta Wheat Commission.

Steve, a former Viterra employee, joined the Saskatchewan commission last fall and was its first employee.

He organized the commission’s inaugural director elections last fall, which resulted in a board with several directors who support the concept of single desk grain marketing.

Steve is expected to assume his new position with AWC in early June.

In Alberta, he will replace former AWC general manager Doug Cornell.

Cornell’s tenure as AWC’s top executive was also short lived.

He was hired by the AWC last summer but spent less than a year in that position before leaving in early February.

AWC board chair Kent Erickson said Steve’s experience and connections in the grain industry made him an ideal candidate for the AWC’s top managerial position.

Erickson said Steve is leaving the Saskatchewan commission on good terms. The Saskatchewan and Alberta commissions will continue to work together on key issues.

“We went through this whole process (as well) and you never always get things right the first time,” Erickson said.

Steve was hired in Saskatchewan by

an interim board of directors led by Cherilyn Nagel.

The new board is led by chair Bill Gehl, who also serves as chair of the Canadian Wheat Board Alliance, which strongly opposed the elimination of single desk marketing in Western Canada.

Other SWD C board members include former CWB farmer elected director Rod Flaman and single desk advocate Glenn Tait, who is also a director with the pro-board National Farmers Union.

Gehl said he didn’t want to com-

ment on Steve’s compatibility with the SWDC board.

“I don’t really want to get into those types of things,” he said. “We’re leaving on excellent … conditions. I would say you couldn’t get any better.

And we have no complaint at all in what Tom has done for us.”

Gehl said personnel changes are never unexpected in the grain industry, especially when so many organizations are in the midst of transition.

“There is always movement within this industry, so we accept that and look for ward to the challenges (ahead),” he said.

“We certainly harbour no resentment … and I think it’s safe to say that we look forward to working with Tom and the Alberta Wheat Commission into the future.”

Steve’s departure has also prompted the newly formed Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission to begin looking for its own general manager.

Saskatchewan’s wheat and barley commissions had initially agreed to share a general manager, office space and administrative personnel to keep costs in check.

Gehl said the model did not work as well as expected.

The demands of handling duties for both commissions were too great, he added.

Cam Goff, chair of the Saskatchewan barley group, said it wasn’t in either group’s best interests to have one person serving both commissions.

In addition to an unmanageable workload and other operational challenges, the two commissions have different priorities and different budgetary constraints. “(Initially) I thought it was a good idea … yet when we actually started to do it, it really became apparent that there were too many differences between the two,” Goff said.

“Some things worked out well … but there just wasn’t enough overlap to really make it a good fit for doing everything together.”

The wheat and barley commissions hope to have new managers in place by mid-May.

FIREARMS | SHOTGUN

Mossberg 500 good for new shooter buying first shotgun OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

T

he Mossberg 500 is a pump shotgun assembled in the United States.

The forearm, stock, and trigger guard on our test model were made from synthetic material. Wood is available on other models.

The chamber in the test shotgun could handle either 2.75 or three inch l o n g 1 2 - g a u g e s h e l l s, t h o u g h 20-gauge and .410 bore are available in other models.

They have capacity of up to six shells, though an easily removable magazine tube plug limits them to two when purchased new.

The combo package came with an 18.5 inch barrel with a fixed cylinder choke and a 28 inch vent rib barrel with a fixed modified choke.

Both were smoothbore barrels.

Changing between barrels is a simple matter of releasing the forearm, sliding it midway and undoing the barrel screw cap at the front of the magazine tube. The barrel is ready to be removed when the screw cap is fully undone.

Operating the Mossberg 500 is straightforward. The tang safety allows for easy left- and right-handed use. The release for the forearm is behind the trigger guard. Sliding the forearm completely forward allows the magazine tube to be loaded through the underside loading port.

Alternatively, a single shell can be loaded through the right side ejection port when the forearm is fully in the rear position.

There are excellent bird and target shotguns on the market, but they can be expensive. The Mossberg 500 allows a newcomer to own a basic but reliable shotgun without spending a lot of money.

The shotgun is one of the most versatile firearms. There is a shot load for almost every situation, and a shotgun and shell load can be easily adapted to accommodate small to large shooters.

Having two barrels in the Mossberg 500 combo package adds to its flexibility. The longer barrel gets a shooter started in game and target shooting, while the shorter barrel makes the firearm accessible and manoeuvreable for close encounters.

The Mossberg 500 performed dependably on the range. I think of our test model like a quality made shovel: easy to use, reliable, simple and strong. It withstood quite a bit of abuse without problems and was easy to maintain.

The Mossberg 500 platform has many aftermarket parts available, so owners can easily customize their firearms.

The only drawback to this particular model is that the forearm often needs to be replaced when doing aftermarket modifications. However, the cost to do so is inexpensive.

New shooters looking at buying their first big bore firearm may want to seriously consider the Mossberg 500 combo for the money. The versatility of the shotgun platform cannot be overstated, especially when this package comes with two barrels.

U OF A APPOINTMENT | STAN BLADE

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY | U.S. AG SECTOR

New U of A official has farm background

EPA eager to soothe friction with ag sector

Faculty of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences dean has plant science degree

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Stan Blade has been named dean of the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences.

Blade, who is currently chief executive officer of Alberta InnovatesBioSolutions, will replace John Kennelly Aug. 1.

Kennelly has been dean since 2004.

Blade grew up on a farm in Alberta’s Leduc County and has been involved in it for 25 years.

“We have all these great people

within the faculty addressing key issues of importance to Alberta and the world,” he said in a news release.

“For me, the role of dean will provide a great opportunity to position our work, to articulate the importance of generating new knowledge and the potential it has to solve not only some of the problems that Alberta is facing, but also problems that exist across the globe.”

Blade graduated from the U of A with a bachelor of science degree before taking a two-year volunteer teaching position in Cameroon.

“It was there that all of a sudden this idea of the role of agriculture in

international development and not just agriculture as a driver of social development all just came together for me,” he said.

Blade completed his master of science degree in plant science at the University of Saskatchewan and earned his PhD at McGill University.

He returned to Alberta, where he worked as a research scientist and executive director of the Alberta Agricultural Research Institute. He also helped create Alberta InnovatesBioSolutions, the government agency focused on research and innovation in agriculture.

Agency administrator discusses biofuel and water issues

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — It’s the part of the U.S. government that governs water and biofuel regulations, but it’s not the agriculture department.

It’s a situation that has always encouraged a suspicious and often caustic relationship between U.S. farmers and the Environmental Protection Agency.

However, it is also something EPA administrator Gina McCarthy is trying to change.

“The ag sector is an incredibly important community that EPA needs to do a better job communicating with and engaging in a positive way,” McCarthy told the North American Agricultural Journalists annual conference in early April.

“My goal is to build a strong relationship between EPA and the ag community. It is in essence one of my largest priorities.”

McCarthy is believed to be the first EPA administrator to attend the NAAJ conference, something she said she was doing as a deliberate attempt to build bridges.

The EPA oversees the U.S. government’s Renewable Fuel Standard, which has created the demand that has supported the development of the enormous U.S. ethanol industry.

More than one-third of the U.S. corn crop has been going into ethanol production, so what affects ethanol demand immediately affects U.S. farmers.

Attempts to push ethanol consumption higher have run into the “blend wall,” with gasoline providers fighting against higher rates and having to provide different pumps to supply it.

Many farm groups have suspected that the EPA doesn’t like biofuel production and is reluctant to use its power to expand consumption.

McCarthy said she accepts the laws that Congress has passed and argues that the EPA’s recent lowering of targets for future annual biofuel inclusion rates is not a reversal of support for biofuel.

Moving away from aggressive targets is an attempt to create a “trajectory that supports the continued achievable, realistic growth in renewable fuels,” she added.

McCarthy also portrayed the Waters of the U.S. proposal as an attempt to not only protect fresh water supplies but also to directly protect many U.S. farming practices. It is a proposed rule that would help clarify acceptable practices allowed under the Clean Water Act and lists dozens of farming practices as OK. Farmers often worry that rules governing drainage, wetlands, sloughs and on-field production practices will hurt farming, but McCarthy and U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack later said the proposed rule is not an attempt to ban farming practices. Instead, it will make many practices safer to use.

McCarthy said the rule would not regulate tile drainage or ground water.

BOTANY | PLANT IDENTIFICATION

Digital image book of flora aims to answer ‘what is that?’

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A hiker sees an unfamiliar plant while walking on native prairie and pulls out her smartphone, on which she has downloaded Common Coulee Plants of Southern Alberta, to quickly identify it.

This is what the authors of a new book envision with the release of a free electronic version suitable for use on tablets and smartphones.

University of Lethbridge biology professor John Bain and botanist and photographer June Flanagan have updated seminal work done by former U of L professor Job Kuijt.

Kuijt, an expert botanist, published a book by the same name in 1972, featuring line drawings of native prairie plants.

The new version, released earlier this month, features Kuijt’s line drawings and Flanagan’s colour photographs of 124 species of flowers, grasses and woody plants.

Southern Alberta is in the title, but many of the plants can also be found across the prairie provinces, said Flanagan.

“It was John’s idea to re-release the book as a digital book,” Flanagan said about Bain, who is a plant taxonomist and botanist, as well as director of the U of L’s digital herbarium.

“We knew many of the plant guide books that are done on flora, done by professional botanists, they’re quite expensive, so (Bain) thought it would be great if some of these guide books could be digitized so they could be more affordable and accessible for students,” Flanagan said.

“And in this case, this book is very popular with the general public.”

The book features smooth blue beardtongue (penstemon nitidus) on the cover, the same wildflower that was featured on Kuijt’s original cover.

Flanagan said descriptions are written in “friendly language” rather than technical references.

“When you read the descriptions, it’s just as if Job Kuijt was with you, out in the coulees looking at the plants and describing the differences between them and describing what they look like.”

Flanagan spent months taking photographs for the book, a process that took her across southern Alberta. Finding the plants and photographing them at their most visible growth stage is a challenge, she said.

Some bloom in early morning, like blue flax, some bloom in late afternoon, like the prickly pear and pincushion cacti, and some bloom after sundown, like the 10-petalled evening star.

As well, some were best photographed when bearing fruit or seed pods.

Flanagan said she wanted the photographs to reflect what was contained in Kuijt’s drawings.

“He had a great knack for recognizing when you and I would be most likely to recognize the plant.”

RECREATION | NATIONAL TRAIL NETWORK

Push on to complete Trans Canada Trail by 2017 Ready for Canada’s 150th? | Saskatchewan only 34 percent done; Manitoba is 92 percent and Alberta is 58 percent

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Valerie Pringle can already picture the evening of July 1, 2017.

She sees Canadians lined from coast to coast to coast on the Trans Canada Trail, torches and flashlights in hand, while a camera in space records the moment.

She just has to convince the provinces, particularly Saskatchewan, to play their part.

Pringle, the well-known broadcaster and former host of Canada AM, is co-chair of the foundation raising money to connect the trail through the provinces in time for Canada’s 150th birthday. Her cochair is Hartley Richardson of Winnipeg.

“I first heard about it like many people did, with a little ad in Maclean’s magazine showing this red line connecting the country, and I went, ‘I think that’s the greatest idea ever,’ ” she said.

Pringle said she pitched so many stories about the trail while at Canada AM that co-workers began to mock her. When she left the show, they bought a small portion of the trail in her name and gave it to her as a gift.

The project, which first started to mark Canada’s 125th birthday in 1992, is so important to her that she has served as a volunteer and board member, including a five-year term as board chair beginning in 2001.

Her work now focuses on fundraising.

Pringle uses words like amazing, audacious, big, bold and iconic to describe the trail, which she said represents fitness, getting outdoors and experiencing nature.

“To see the country at human speed, sort of the final link: first the railroad, then a highway and now a

Trans Canada Trail supporters hope to have the coast to coast link complete by Canada’s 150th birthday, although some areas, particularly in Saskatchewan, lag. | KEN DYCK/FLICKR.COM PHOTO recreational trail.”

The trail is 72 percent connected and includes 17,000 kilometres.

Newfoundland and Labrador had the best connection record as of March 31, 2013, at 100 percent, while Saskatchewan had the worst at 34 percent. Manitoba was at 92 percent and Alberta was 58 percent. The three northern territories were well more than 90 percent.

“It’s counterintuitive because it’s the most community driven province,” Pringle said about Saskatchewan’s low rate.

“So we just have to fix that. I think we have to do a better job of inspiring

people in Saskatchewan to get out there and build their trail.”

Only 500 km of the 1,500 km trail through the province is done. It enters east-central Saskatchewan and is expected to head south through the Qu’Appelle Valley and b a c k u p a l o n g a w a t e r t ra i l t o Saskatoon and North Battleford.

An estimated 39 projects are required to fill the 19 gaps in the trail.

The estimated cost is $15 million, which Pringle hopes to come onethird from the province, one-third from private donations and onethird from the federal government.

Ottawa matches all donations 50

cents on the dollar.

“It’s a hard project to do. It’s huge, complex,” Pringle said.

However, she said her involvement over the past 13 years has cemented her commitment.

“I’ve been on the trail all over the country. I’ve seen the people who build the trail and I think this is such a gift to Canadians.”

The trail is designed to accommodate walking-hiking, cycling, paddling, horseback riding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Communities decide what type of use they want, but all-terrain vehicles are not on the preferred list.

She said snowmobilers and crosscountry skiers happily co-exist, and the latter appreciate being able to use the trail after the former have packed it down.

Local acceptance is critical, and Pringle said many residents are thrilled to be part of the larger project.

“You can do your local trail, walk with your grandchildren or get your exercise with your friends, or you can get big and walk to the next community. Or walk to Vancouver, or to Cape Breton.”

She believes many local trails will be added to the main route over time.

When fully connected, the main Trans Canada Trail will be nearly 24,000 km long, which compares to the famous 3,500 km long Appalachian Trail in the eastern United States.

“I’m trying to encourage all the rural municipalities along our route, in addition to all the rural municipalities who aren’t necessarily touched by the trail, to say this is a valuable and worthwhile endeavour,” said Pringle, who earlier this year spoke to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention about the trail and why RMs should support it.

There are opportunities to change the route, and proponents are talking to RMs as the clock ticks toward 2017.

Pringle is confident a nighttime photo from space will show light along the trail in Saskatchewan.

“Saskatchewan will be there,” she said.

“We’ve had great response from the (provincial government) caucus, and I really do believe that the rural municipalities will respond with the community spirit that is typical of Saskatchewan and say, ‘yeah, we want to be there.’ ” For more information, visit tctrail.ca.

The truth about mechanical drive sprayers.

When considering a self-propelled sprayer purchase, a buyer has a choice between mechanical drive or hydrostat. Here at Equipment Technologies, we are successful because of our mechanical drive sprayer, and our competitors are taking notice. They’ll even try to tell you that you need a four-wheel drive or 50/50 weight distribution, or that you need to spend more for a great piece of equipment.

The Apache difference: • Industry-best fuel economy: Less weight = less fuel • Industry-best 5-year warranty: Includes Guardian first year inspection • 98% power-to-the-ground • Better weight distribution • Lower service costs • Lower replacement parts cost • Ergonomic cab design

Simplicity breeds dependability.

Apache’s mechanical drive is much simpler versus the complexity of a hydrostatic sprayer. Many farmers get frustrated with hydrostats because of the down time and expense of failed wheel motors. In addition, a hydrostat has a tangle of hoses, wires and electrical circuits to all four wheels, which are susceptible to problems. Apache’s simple design means if you have to make a repair, it’s much easier and you’re back in the field faster.

Power-to-the-Ground.™ With our patented Power-to-the-Ground™ technology. A full 98% of the Apache’s horsepower is delivered to the ground. Most hydrostat machines deliver only about 70%.

Better weight distribution. We put the majority of the sprayer’s weight over the back two wheels that drive the Apache.

When an Apache gets into the same soft ground as a hydrostat, the front two wheels stay on top of the ground. When the back two wheels get into softer ground, the torque converter locks in to provide more power to the rear wheels. And, the Apache is, on average, 3,000-9,500 pounds lighter than comparable sprayers.

Precision. We are the only company that factory installs two of the leading precision solutions for application, Raven and Trimble. In addition, with our new “plug and play” ISOBUS technology, you can use the field computer system of your choice.

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.

“It’s the first self-propelled sprayer I’ve owned. I’ve been impressed with it. It works all right and seems to have a nice ride. I’m a John Deere man but the price difference made me go with the Apache.

Everyone I talked to said it has a lot better fuel economy and that’s part of the reason I went with Apache. It seems to have everything Deere has. Everything you need is on it. I had concerns about the hydrostat and wheel motors going out.”

RAW MILK SYMPOSIUM | HEALTH

Raw milk: weighing risks and benefits Pasteurization kills bacteria | Raw milk supporters claim pasteurization reduces nutrition

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GUELPH, Ont. — Much is known about the risk of consuming raw milk and raw milk products, but far less is known about their health benefits.

Both were discussed at the Science to Policy: Raw Milk Case Study symposium held in Guelph April 22.

“We need to establish some sort of legislative framework around it so the risks are minimized,” said Jeroen Douwes of the Centre for Health Research in New Zealand.

“The majority of studies show that there is a protection (against asthma and allergies), but there are simply not enough studies to show that’s conclusive.”

Sylvie Turgeon, a professor of food science with Université Laval, brought what may be considered the conventional view on raw milk: it’s not all that different from its pasteurized cousin.

“From a scientific view, pasteurization has a very minor impact on nutritional properties … but still, we cannot say that there is no change at all,” Turgeon said.

That falls in line with the position of the Centre for Disease Control in the United States: “There are no health benefits from drinking raw milk that cannot be

JEROEN DOUWES NEW ZEALAND CENTRE FOR HEALTH RESEARCH

obtained from drinking pasteurized milk that is free of disease-causing bacteria. The process of pasteurization of milk has never been found to be the cause of chronic diseases, allergies or the developmental or behavioural problems.”

However, Douwes, pointed to about 12 studies that show raw milk may well have benefits.

“Studies in farm children suggest that raw milk may be protective against allergies and asthma independent of other farm exposures, although evidence has not always been consistent,” Douwes said.

“One study also suggests that raw milk may be protective in non-farmers’ children and adults, but the effects were limited only to atopy and rhinitis.”

Nadine Ijaz, a University of Toronto grad student, has come to similar conclusions through her personal interest in the potential for raw milk health benefits.

She said the suggestion that raw milk prevents asthma and allergies in school-aged children is “well evidenced” while enhanced immunity in newborn children, whether raw milk is consumed by the infant or the mother, is “moderately evidenced.”

Ijaz also talked about raw milk from a risk assessment perspective. She said there is evidence that demonstrates a greater risk from eating home-cooked chicken or leafy green vegetables.

“In a lot of North American literature, there seems to be an emphasis to produce zero risk with raw milk,” she said. “Pathogen prevalence data is actually not a good way to assess risk, although it is a good starting point. There have indeed been hospitalizations associated with raw milk, but to my knowledge there have been no deaths.”

She said raw milk does contain pathogens, but the accumulation is not great enough to cause illness when properly managed.

However, risk may well increase with storage and transport, she added. The maxim, “the further from the farm, the greater the risk,” was something with which others at the symposium also agreed.

Wendie Claeys of Belgium’s Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain said the background flora in raw milk pro-

vides a buffering effect against pathogenic organisms.

Like Ijaz, she said today’s biggest concerns are salmonella, campylobacter and human pathogenic E. coli. Contracting brucellosis or tuberculosis from raw milk, which was the main danger a century ago, is remote, she added.

“These milk-borne diseases have been eradicated in most developed countries.”

Raw milk is sold legally in Belgium, including through a small number of vending machines.

Claeys said pasteurization results in a commercial sterile product without a substantial loss of nutritional value or other benefits. Her agency recommended heating raw milk to the point of boiling before drinking it.

The Canadian government’s position on raw milk is similar to Belgium’s, other than the fact that raw milk sales are allowed in Belgium and most other EU countries.

Jeff Farber, Health Canada’s director of the Bureau of Microbial Hazards, cited a statement made last year

by Food Standards Australia New Zealand: “FSANZ completed an extensive risk assessment of raw cow’s milk and concluded that the risk to the public is too high to change current processing requirements.

The evidence shows that even extremely good hygiene procedures cannot ensure the absence of dangerous pathogens in raw milk.”

Farber also referred to the Centre for Disease Control study, which concluded that the rate of outbreaks caused by unpasteurized milk and milk products was 150 times greater than outbreaks linked to pasteurized milk.

As the only Group 27 and the first new mode of action in cereals for over 25 years, powerful, one of a kind Infinity® herbicide controls the toughest broadleaf weeds from across the Canadian prairies, even if they are resistant to other herbicide classes.

RAW MILK | HEALTH RISKS

RAW MILK | RESEARCH

Federal government ponders raw milk sales

New Zealand trial hopes to determine raw milk benefits

Underground market continues | Ottawa urged to develop policy to protect consumers

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GUELPH, Ont. — The door may be opening to lawful raw milk sales in Canada, according to a senior official with Health Canada.

“We see possible venues in the future of producing a safe product,” said Jeff Farber, director of the bureau of microbial hazards.

It could involve a regulator y approach at the provincial and/or federal level, he added.

However, Health Canada’s official position maintains that the risk of drinking milk that has not been pasteurized outweighs possible benefits.

Raw milk sales were prohibited in Canada in 1991, but there’s no restriction on drinking it. In fact, statistics show that it is consumed by families on close to 90 percent of Canada’s dairy farms.

Farber said consumer interest in raw milk was low in 1991 and rejected the argument that the decision to prohibit sales was an arbitrary one.

“It’s the food industry’s responsibility to produce safe food, not the government’s. The government provides oversight and verification,” he said April 22 during the Science to Policy: Raw Milk Case Study symposium hosted by the University of

Guelph’s food science department.

“We did look at just leaving the status quo (in 1991), but we got a lot of pushback from health organizat i o n s a n d d a i r y f a r m e r s. … In today’s environment, it would be very different in moving forward and in looking at a lot of different options.”

Expressing a personal view, he said other food poses a risk for Canadians that is as great or greater. The risks can be minimized through labelling, education, hazard analysis critical control point protocols and shorter travel distances for raw milk, he added.

Farber was responding to comments about raw milk sales’ current black market status in Canada.

“The raw milk industry isn’t going to go away in Canada, no matter how many farmers go to jail, so why can’t we find a way to integrate it,” raw milk consumer Margo McIntosh said.

Added Dr. Catherine Donnelly, a nutritionist with the University of Vermont: “Putting raw milk sales underground is totally counter to protecting consumers.”

Ontario dairy farmer and raw milk advocate Michael Schmidt questioned the premise of the conference, which organizers had introduced as an examination of how science is

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

Michael Schmidt, right, said Ottawa’s position on raw milk consumption may be policy driven rather than science-based. He was one of the speakers at the raw milk symposium. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO developed into policy.

“What I’ve experienced is that there’s a policy, and the science comes to support that policy,” Schmidt said.

“The issue here is, can we develop a policy of making governing of this country easier by easing off the control factor and increasing the education factor?”

Schmidt said raw milk can be marketed in many American states and the European Union and cited health professionals from Germany and Switzerland who have said raw milk provides health benefits for children and pregnant women. He also said raw milk is routinely pro-

vided in some German hospitals.

Schmidt said he has developed a list of protocols on his farm that include: • maintaining a closed herd that is free of bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis and Johne’s disease • regularly testing his milk for quality and the presence of pathogens • having his premises evaluated annually by an independent dairy inspector Schmidt continues to produce raw milk for distribution on his farm near Durham, Ont., despite recently losing a decision at the Court of Appeal for Ontario concerning his cow-share marketing arrangement.

A New Zealand study could shed new light on the benefits of drinking unpasteurized milk.

Jeroen Douwes with the Centre for Food Safety at Massey University said there is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a small number of peerreviewed studies suggesting raw milk provides protection against allergies and asthma. What’s missing is causal evidence.

“If we can identify something that provides the protection, then that would be a big deal,” he said.

Raw milk is sold legally in New Zealand.

The study will involve 450 families: 300 non-farming raw milk drinkers and 150 pasteurized milk drinkers.

The families will answer a questionnaire and undergo a battery of tests.

Most raw milk studies have involved farm families who are exposed to a wide range of organisms through their lifestyle. Douwes hopes studying an urban population will provide a better understanding of health benefits specific to raw milk.

RAW MILK | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Dairy group fails to show for raw milk discussion

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GUELPH, Ont. —Dairy Farmers of Ontario was a no show at a raw milk symposium held in Guelph April 21.

Two members of the organizing committee, Art Hill and Mansel Griffiths of the University of Guelph’s food science department, had the same response to the absence.

“They had their reasons.”

Ontario dairy farmer Michael Schmidt said he was pleasantly surprised with the symposium but disappointed at the dair y group’s absence.

The raw milk advocate has been attempting to find a legal means to market unpasteurized milk in the province for years.

Sylvain Charlebois, an economist at the University of Guelph, said Canada’s dairy industry suffers from a lack of flexibility.

“Supply management needs to be reformed and one reason is raw milk.

It’s such a rigid regime that there’s no room for innovation,” he said.

“By not showing up today is really disappointing, but they didn’t come because it got political.”

Charlebois, who was raised on Quebec dairy farm, doesn’t view raw milk as a hazardous food. Having heard the various presentations during the symposium, he said there’s enough science to move toward sales in Canada.

The DFO did not respond to calls

concerning its absence .

Catherine Donnelly, a nutritionist at the University of Vermont, said state legislators view the raw milk market as an opportunity for young farmers, local food production and economic stimulus.

However, she said the Vermont dairy farmers who supply the pasteurized milk market have a different view.

“They actually feel threatened by raw milk for cheese production and raw milk for direction consumption,” she said.

Donnelly said raw milk sales were banned in Vermont in 1987 when the Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about disease pathogens.

The decision was reversed in 2008, and quality and safety standards and marketing limits were introduced the following year.

Ben Chapman of North Carolina State University said the United States has no consistent policy about raw milk sales.

Direct farmer to consumer sales are allowed in 30 states, some states have cow and goat share agreements and raw milk is carried in retail stores in 12 states.

He said he has heard of situations in which raw milk is sold as pet food to get around prohibitions.

Chapman said a recent survey in the U.S. found that 3.5 percent, about 10 million people, reported they had drunk raw milk over the past week.

“How are you meeting the nitrogen requirements on your farm?”

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MAY 1, 2014

Demystifying Nitrogen Fertilizer Application 10 simple facts every producer should know before making decisions on spring nitrogen management Nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most expensive crop inputs you invest in and can have a measurable effect on yield.

Typically, nitrogen-use efficiency on fields is about 50 per cent. Increasing that efficiency will directly affect your bottom line. An understanding of the following spring nitrogen management essentials should set you on your way to maximizing nitrogen-use efficiency – and profits – on your farm.

5. Broadcast and top-dress applications are considered to be less efficient than banding because the nutrients are not as readily available to the roots.

1. Nitrogen fertilizer applications are susceptible to many forms of loss, including volatilization, denitrification and leaching.

7. In some instances, shallow-banded urea can also be susceptible to volatilization losses.

6. Top-dressed fertilizer relies on rainfall to move it into the root zone. In the absence of rainfall, the fertilizer is susceptible to volatilization losses. Incorporation can help minimize these losses.

2. Seed safety is paramount. A crop’s entire nitrogen requirement can’t be placed in the seed row as seed will be vulnerable to salt and ammonia toxicity.

8. Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) can improve inefficient practices by delaying the conversion of nitrogen into forms susceptible to loss. Two common forms of EEFs include urease inhibitor products and polymer-coated urea.

3. Several options exist for meeting nitrogen requirements, such as broadcast or side/mid-row band applications.

9. Polymer-coated urea is often used to increase the amount of seed row-placed nitrogen.

4. Side banding with adequate separation between the seed row and the fertilizer band minimizes the adverse effects of ammonia toxicity on germinating seedlings.

10. Urease inhibitors are a viable option to minimize volatilization losses in top-dress applications.

Calculator helps assess ecological footprint Farmers get environmental report and compare agronomic practices that might improve profits

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The phrase “ecological footprint” was all the rage a few years ago as people attempted to reduce their impact on the earth’s air, water and land.

With that concept in mind, a consortium of grower associations and industry groups has developed a software tool to help Canadian farmers measure and minimize their footprint.

The group doesn’t have a name, but its online tool is available for interested growers.

“The calculator itself is called the Canadian On-Farm Sustainability Calculator,” said Denis Tremorin, Pulse Canada’s director of sustainability.

Pulse Canada, the Canadian Canola Growers Association, Ducks Unlimited, Prairie Oat Growers, General Mills and Crop Life Canada joined forces to develop the software, which is based on research into sustainable agronomic practices.

“Ag Canada has been developing these (sustainability) indicators and metrics for agriculture as a whole,” Tremorin said.

“What we’re doing is taking those indicators and applying them to individual crops. Now we’re refining it to where you can apply those indicators at an on-farm level.”

Only nine farmers in Alberta and Manitoba have used the software, but many “have expressed an interest but have not filled out the calculator yet,” Tremorin said.

Producers can find the calculator at www.serecon.com/calculator.

The program evaluates a farm’s footprint when it comes to: • greenhouse gas emissions • energy use • soil erosion • soil organic carbon • land use efficiency Farmers enter data on fertilizer use,

pesticide applications, field size, types of equipment and horsepower and tillage practices.

In return they receive a report detailing their environmental performance relative to other farmers.

“As we capture more information, what we want to do is regionalize the data set. If you’ve got 25 growers in the Red River Valley … you can present information to the public and back to the growers,” Tremorin said.

“This is how this region looks like, this is how the best (growers) are performing and this is why they are (successful).”

The consortium is similar to an American project called Field to Market, in which McDonald’s, Walmart, Unilever, Kellogg’s, CocaCola, Cargill and General Mills work with 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.

Field to Market president Rod Snyder said growers use the Fieldprint Calculator to establish a sustainability benchmark. They can then adopt practices to move above that base line.

Snyder said Field to Market doesn’t prescribe a path to sustainability.

“Field to Market and its members are not dictating practices…. It’s all designed to be outcomes based. A farmer makes (his) own practices and decisions,” he said.

Steve Peterson, General Mills director of sustainable sourcing, said

Field to Market members work with growers to spread the sustainable agriculture message.

For instance, Field to Market is working with more than 30 Idaho farmers who were overwatering crops with central pivot irrigation.

The growers have adopted variable rate irrigation, which has boosted yields and conserved water.

Peterson said stories of reduced input costs and increased profitability can quickly spread.

“By proving this value proposition, then it will spread naturally and organically at the coffee shop,” Peterson said.

“It’s a verification scheme based on regional engagement with progressive growers.”

Tremorin said the Canadian group has adopted a similar philosophy.

“Showcase the leaders so others realize they can adopt some practic-

es that make them more profitable and more efficient. That’s really the role of this calculator, is to highlight (leaders).”

Tremorin said Unilever, Nestle and Walmart regularly send questionnaires to Canadian grain companies to find out how prairie farmers grow crops. The grain companies pass the forms onto farmers.

Many Canadian growers think the questionnaires are ridiculous and have refused to participate.

“It’s not a very friendly process some times,” Tremorin said.

“There’s pushback (from growers) in terms of why are they asking me these questions because some of them are related to child labour?

They’re assessments that are meant for the globe.”

Tremorin said the sustainability calculator could help shift the process from a “check the box” approach to a system based on measurable results.

The Canadian group is also working with crop advisory companies such as Farmers Edge and AgriTrend to imbed the sustainability program into their software so that sustainability data can be collected indirectly.

The Canadian group is considering the name Field to Market Canada, but hasn’t decided yet.

CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY GOALS: • Unilever has committed to buy 100 percent of its agricultural products from sustainable sources by 2020, including canola oil, soybeans, sunflower oil, pulses and dairy products.

• By 2020, General Mills plans to sustainably source 100 percent of its 10 priority ingredients, such as oats and wheat.

• Walmart requires suppliers of commodity grains, including corn, wheat and soybeans, to develop a fertilizer optimization plan and improve performance. Through this program, the company hopes to reduce fertilizer use on 14 million acres of U.S. farmland by 2020.

Compared to Europe, North American consumers aren’t particularly interested in sustainable agriculture, says Steve Peterson, General Mills director of sustainable sourcing.

Only 15 to 20 percent of Americans and Canadians care about sustainability and not everyone in that group is willing to pay more for sustainable food, Peterson said.

“In Europe, it’s more of a consumer led thing. In North America… it’s more of a brand led effort,” Peterson said.

General Mills announced last year that it would buy 10 percent of its 10 priority ingredients, including wheat and oats, from sustainable sources by 2020.

Unilever has also announced it

would sustainably source 100 percent of its canola, soybeans and many other commodities by 2020.

In North America, companies are promoting sustainable agriculture partly because it’s right, but also because they need reliable sources of food ingredients, Peterson said.

“In our (General Mills) business model for the future, we need to protect these key, raw material markets we depend on for our products,” he said.

The Multibib’s broad, flat tread and large footprint help ensure exceptional traction while improving production efficiency. With a larger air chamber and bigger footprint, the Multibib radial carries significantly heavier loads with the same or lower air pressure than standard profile radials.

We understand the pressure of keeping you moving on the farm.

That’s why our Ag locations carry the tires that fit your needs—and we have the highly-trained people in place to get the job done quickly.

BOVINE TB | BREEDING FOR RESISTANCE

Some cattle genetically resistant to bovine TB: study Research shows multiple genes could carry an immunity trait

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Recent research in Scotland has identified genetic traits in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle that have the potential, through breeding, to increase their resistance to bovine tuberculosis.

The study, published in the journal Heredity, compared the genetic code of TB infected animals with that of disease-free cattle.

“Our study focused on the major dairy breed the Holstein-Friesian,

and the genetics we have uncovered relates to that specific breed,” said lead researcher Liz Glass, chair of veterinary immunogenetics at the University of Edinburgh’s Roslin Institute.

Several factors influence why some cattle become infected and others do not, such as age, level of infection in the environment, herd size, animal density, management practices, previous exposure and variation in the pathogen’s genetic makeup.

But the inherent genetic variation of the animal plays a key role, Glass said.

“We think that the resistance trait relates to genetic variation in genes that control innate immunity, and their effect is to prevent or eliminate infection. Our evidence would suggest that it is not a single gene but multiple genes.”

Glass’s research team worked with colleagues from the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute and Queen’s University, both in Belfast.

Bovine TB is caused by the bacterium mycobacterium bovis and is characterized by granulomas in infected tissue. It is a serious disease

We hope by combining all the data together that we will be able to come up with SNP patterns that accurately predict whether a sire will have daughters that are most or least likely to become infected with M. bovis.

the developing world and is believed to be the fourth most significant livestock disease in terms of human health and economic impacts.

A cow with lung lesions spreads the disease through a herd by coughing tiny infected droplets into the air, which other cattle inhale. They also gain exposure from contaminated feed and water.

The greatest threat is when infected animals are moved from one herd to another with extended close contact.

The research team conducted a genome-wide association study of female Holstein–Friesian cattle with 592 disease-affected cows and 559 age-matched unaffected cows that matched the diseased cows with regard to their environment and their genetic background.

Cattle from 146 dairy herds in Northern Ireland were also studied.

The team genotyped the animals and used computer analysis and mapping to identify two novel resistance locations.

Glass said the genetic signatures are determined by SNP patterns, or variations between the affected and unaffected cattle at many regions across the genome.

SNP, or single nucleotide polymorphisms, is a change in a single location in the DNA structure, and each one provides a measure of genetic variants.

“Mycobacterium bovis is a very successful pathogen because it can infect many different species.”

Glass said some studies have suggested that temperature and altitude may play a role in the bacteria’s survival, but more studies are needed.

Bovine TB is a reportable disease in Canada, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency follows a strict testing and eradication program.

“Some studies suggest there is a negative correlation between breeding for production traits and disease susceptibility,” Glass said.

“However, there are studies showing the opposite. I think it probably depends on the breed and the traits being measured. Sometimes it can seem there is a trend at the phenotypic level but not at the genetic level.

One study so far indicates that there is no adverse relationship between production traits and resistance to bovine TB” Further research is planned.

“We hope by combining all the data together that we will be able to come up with SNP patterns that accurately predict whether a sire will have daughters that are most or least likely to become infected with M. bovis. Currently we have a paper in press that suggests that using our first set of data is feasible, but we do not think it is accurate enough for the breeders.”

She hopes choosing animals with better genotypes for TB resistance can help develop new breeding programs and other control strategies.

ANIMAL HEALTH PRODUCTS | ACQUISITION

Elanco climbs ladder in animal health sector Number two in revenue | Purchase of Novartis will see move into aquaculture and less reliance on livestock sector sales PARIS/NEW YORK (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eli Lilly says buying Novartisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; animal health business will strengthen its hand in emerging markets, tapping into growing demand there for protein-rich diets and household treatments for pets.

As part of a multibillion-dollar revamp, Novartis said it would sell its animal health arm to Lilly for $5.4 billion, while also swapping assets with GlaxoSmithKline.

Lilly said the deal would move its Elanco unit from the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 4 animal health group by revenue to No. 2 in a sector that supplies medicines, vaccines and feed additives for farm and domestic animals. The sectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest operator is Zoetis, spun off by Pfizer last year.

The Lilly unit posted sales of $2.15 billion last year, up six percent on the year, compared with $1.1 billion for Novartisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; animal health activities. Eli Lillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total sales were $23.1 billion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elanco has doubled its sales and tripled its profits between 2007 and today, and this acquisition really brings it into the top tier of companies,â&#x20AC;? Lilly chief executive officer John Lechtleiter said.

Other top players include Merck & Co. and Sanofi.

Thanks to vaccines and anti-parasite medicines from the Novartis deal, Lechtleiter said Elanco will now be able to provide products for aquaculture, which he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a different type of animal protein that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to get into.â&#x20AC;?

Elanco is also expanding its presence in eggs through its planned acquisition of Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lohmann Animal Health. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This (Novartis) deal really allows us to get a significant increase in our footprint in emerging markets, and in our protein business on the food animal side this will be very important for us,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Simmons, Eli Lillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior-vice president and

CORN | PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Rain boosts corn in South Africa JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; South Africa is likely to raise its corn production forecast for this year after late season rain boosted yields.

It likely puts the country on track for its biggest harvest in more than three decades.

The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) is likely to raise the forecast to 13.1 million tonnes from a previous estimate of 12.955 million tonnes, according to an average estimate of four trading houses polled by Reuters.

The estimates ranged between 13 million tonnes and 13.333 million tonnes.

The CEC said last month a harvest of about 13 million tonnes or higher will be the largest since 1981, when the corn crop was 14.4 million tonnes.

Corn is a staple crop in South Africa and a bigger crop will be a relief for the country after large export commitments depleted last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stocks.

president of Elanco.

Elancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products include its Elector PSP to kill flies and beetles in cattle sheds and the Rumensin feed supplement to boost productivity of dairy and beef cows.

Novartisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; products include its Atopica treatment for dermatitis in dogs and cats and its Denagard antibiotic for pigs and poultry.

Simmons said Lilly sees the dairy, fish and egg sectors as products that emerging market consumers turn to for protein before shifting toward meat.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe these emerging markets and these emerging diets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eggs, fish, dairy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are key.â&#x20AC;?

Elanco has been seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;high single-digitâ&#x20AC;? growth rates in emerging markets, and the Novartis deal would make it the No. 3 player in these countries, up from its current No. 5 position, he added.

The deal could also ease Elancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic reliance on livestock commodities markets such as cattle and hogs, which have roiled in recent years amid volatile grain prices, extreme weather patterns and

shrinking herd sizes in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes us away from the meat cycles, where every four to five years, we ride the same (economic) rollercoaster that the meat producers do,â&#x20AC;?

Simmons said.

The Novartis deal crowns a period of fast expansion for Elanco, whose operating profit margins rose to 26 percent last year, which Lechtleiter said were comparable to margins from human prescription drugs.

Simmons said emerging market demand in animal health also

reflected a growing trend for keeping pets, which has helped make Elancoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flea and heartworm brands big growth drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cities like Sao Paulo and Hong Kong are becoming more of a pet opportunity, and that will continue to grow and expand,â&#x20AC;? Simmons said.

Pets represent 40 percent of the global animal health market, compared to 60 percent for farm animals, and Elanco would become the No. 3 player in the pet health segment following the Novartis acquisition, he said.

RESEARCH | WHEAT

Wheat research pressured as soybeans, corn expand Research continues at slow pace | Syngenta says work on new wheat varieties is slowed by poor intellectual property rights

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Syngenta and prairie growers hope wheat can fight an aggressive rearguard action as Monsanto sets its corn and soybean sights on Western Canada, where the crop is still king.

However, nothing life saving is coming quickly, says Syngenta Canada president Jay Bradshaw, and that is a problem for prairie farmers.

“I think there’s a short-term gap,” said Alberta Wheat Commission chair Kent Erickson, who worries

that wheat is having trouble fending off acreage gains made by other crops.

Bradshaw said Syngenta has been investing money into wheat breeding across the world for decades, especially in recent years with hybrid cereal development.

However, Canadian hybrid wheat development is lagging because of variety registration complications and questions about whether companies can make enough money for their breeding efforts.

“My biggest competitor, I’ll say at

global Syngenta, is not my colleagues (from other giant seed companies like Dow, Monsanto and Bayer), it’s actually inside of Syngenta,” said Bradshaw, noting better plant breeders’ rights and other forms of intellectual property protection within variety registration systems in other parts of the world.

“What’s really working against us is time. As we figure variety registration out in cereals and value capture in a collaborative way as we do in Canada … the rest of the world is not standing by. They’re actually

getting ahead of us.”

Bradshaw said Syngenta’s wheat hybrids are marching toward reality, but there is a lot more work to do. The company has been losing money and is happy to keep doing so, as long as seed rules eventually offer years of profit potential to compensate for the losses.

“We can afford to perpetuate what we’re doing for a very long period of time. It’s a part of doing business,” said Bradshaw.

“We’ve got a lot of runway ahead of us, but we’ve got a lot of patience and

we’ll continue to subsidize it until we get a breakthrough.”

Bradshaw said his and other companies will invest more money into wheat variety development once they are guaranteed that they will be able to protect the investment in breeding.

However, he said that guarantee is not there at the moment.

“We’ve got to figure out that value capture mechanism,” said Bradshaw.

“That will just pop the investment in breeding. In the meantime, we’re going to go slow.”

Louis Dreyfus changes CEO after one year PARIS, France (Reuters) — Louis Dreyfus’s chief executive officer is stepping down in a surprise move after just one year.

The move forces the firm to seek a new CEO as it overhauls corporate structure to more closely resemble a public company.

Ciro Echesortu is to leave the position June 1, with chief financial officer Claude Ehlinger becoming interim CEO. The company is concentrating on finding an external candidate, and an outside recruitment firm is advising the board, company sources said.

There is no fixed timetable for the appointment.

A new CEO from outside Louis Dreyfus would reinforce its shift toward a public-style corporate structure, which it sees as necessary to sustain its growth.

Dreyfus last month reported a sharp fall in annual profits, citing the effects on grain markets from a severe U.S. drought. However, it stuck to its plans to spend $4 billion over the next five years as it attempts to double in size.

The change in CEOs is part of a previously planned transition, the company said.

“One year ago, we agreed with Ciro Echesortu to begin a transition under his leadership, aiming to adapt our strategy and accelerate the group’s transformation, in order to reinforce our leading position in the industry,” said Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, chair of the company’s holding firm and its main shareholder.

INLAND TERMINAL ASSOCIATION OF CANADA | MANDATE REVIEWED

Farmer-owned terminal group fears voice lost Losing membership | The terminal association is considering reducing its farmer-owned minimum requirement

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Inland Terminal Association of Canada is discussing ways to expand its membership.

The recently announced sale of the Prairie West Terminal at Plenty, Sask., to CWB marks the third sale of a farmer-owned ITAC terminal in the past four months.

In January, Viterra acquired the Lethbridge Inland Terminal for an undisclosed amount.

And in early March, shareholders at the Weyburn Inland Terminal at Weyburn, Sask., voted to sell WIT to Parrish & Heimbecker for $95 million.

CWB announced in April that it had reached an agreement to buy Prairie West Terminal for $43 million pending shareholder endorsement and necessary court approvals.

CWB said it expects the PWT transaction to be completed in June.

ITAC, which represents farmerowned and directed terminals, will have six members, down from 11 a few years ago, if all pending sales are approved.

ITAC chair Eric Ponath said the potential loss of three members in a few months is concerning.

“We’re always sorry to see when a farmer-owned terminal goes to a main line … company,” said Ponath.

“I believe we have a unique voice that we bring forward as farmerowned terminals and obviously, the fewer members you have, the smaller

Cargill linked to waste water charges LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Cargill and one person have been charged for contravening Alberta’s environmental laws relating to waste water near High River, Alta.

The matter is scheduled for court May 27 in Okotoks, Alta., according to an Alberta government news release.

Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resources Development spokesperson Sarah Jackson said she could not reveal whether the individual charged, Pushp Pal Singh of Calgary, was a Cargill employee.

Nor would Jackson provide additional details on the nature of the alleged offence because the matter is before the courts.

According to the release, the charges arise from contravention of a requirement that the department be informed by telephone of any failure to meet terms and conditions surrounding its approvals.

Singh has been charged with three counts under environmental legislation for alleged contravention of approvals that appear to involve waste water control systems, industrial waste water and provision of accurate information to the department.

a voice you have.”

The western Canadian grain industry has seen a flurry of investments and takeovers since single desk grain marketing was eliminated.

Viterra, P&H, Cargill and Richardson have all announced significant investments in export terminals and country facilities.

CWB, which is scheduled for privatization within the next three years, has acquired export terminals and inland elevators.

It has also announced new terminal construction at Colonsay, Sask.,

and Bloom, Man., in the past two months Some observers say farmer-owned assets are significantly undervalued based on current share valuations.

In addition, CWB’s privatization strategy hinges on the acquisition of its own network of prairie grain collection facilities. Right now, CWB depends primarily on grain handling agreements with competitors.

Ponath said the investment climate in Western Canada’s grain handling industry is different now than it was a couple of years ago.

“Obviously something has changed in the last while,” he said. “It could be the loss of the wheat board monopoly or it could be the opportunity that the line companies see and the appetite for risk that they have. But with three (ITAC terminals) going in such a short amount of time, there‘s clearly some change in the industry.”

Ponath said ITAC members will look at strategies aimed at maintaining the organization’s operations and ensuring that it still serves as a voice for independent facilities.

“We may have to change our man-

date somewhat because right now … (our members must be) 50 percent farmer-owned, minimum,” he said.

“We are always in discussions and looking for way to grow and to expand our base.”

Excluding PWT, ITAC’s current membership includes the CMI Terminal at Naicam, Sask., Gardiner Dam Terminal at Strongfield, Sask., Great Sandhills Terminal at Leader, Sask., Northwest Terminal at Unity, Sask., Providence Grain Solutions at Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., and South West Terminal at Gull Lake, Sask.

INSECT PESTS | WHEAT MIDGE

Wheat midge poses big risk for eastern Sask.

Increased moisture to blame | Cabbage seed pod weevil in canola is also expected to cause major problems this year

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Wheat growers in eastern Saskatchewan will likely face significant wheat midge infestation this year, according to the provincial forecast.

Surveys done last fall found that the regions of greatest risk will be the black and dark brown soil zones in east-central and southeastern areas.

Wheat midge is commonly a problem in these regions but is expected to be found in significant numbers this year.

The soil sampling, which looked for viable midge larvae and cocoons, also found increased populations in the brown soil zone of south-central and southwestern Saskatchewan, where the pest typically isn’t as big a problem. There is also a pocket around Prince Albert.

S cott Har tley, the provincial insect specialist, said the increased moisture in those areas is likely the reason.

“If you look at previous maps, it will go southeast to northwest following along the dark brown and black soil zones,” he said.

“Because moisture favours (midge), the good moisture in the southwest is something that’s brought it up higher than most years.”

Moisture conditions are usually better in eastern Saskatchewan, and that’s where midge is a perennial problem.

This year, the size of the affected area is expected to be bigger than last year, Hartley said.

However, he said the forecast map is based on cocoons.

“We know that population is there, but will it materialize will depend on conditions,” he said.

The forecast was based on 420 soil samples collected last fall.

Most of the province is expected to see midge in numbers less than 600 per sq. metre, but the regions expecting large numbers are looking at more than 1,800 per sq. metre.

PRIMING your seed prior to planting improves access to the key nutritional elements needed for germination, strong root growth, vigorous emergence and early-season plant health.

to budget for it than be caught off guard, he said.

Also, significant damage and yield loss can still occur at lower numbers of midge.

Hartley said weather conditions will be a factor in midge emergence and the ability to spray.

“If you don’t get 20 millimetres of precipitation by the end of May, it’ll delay (midge emergence) and then sometimes your crop staging isn’t going to fit in with when the midge is a problem,” he said.

“You might not have the populations there, just depending on when spring precipitation was. It needs that in order to go into a pupal stage and then emerge.”

Farmers concerned about midge could consider growing a different crop or seeding a midge-tolerant variety.

Midge typically become a problem in late June and early July.

Hartley said farmers should also be watching for cabbage seed pod weevil in canola this year. It has been steadily moving eastward through southern Saskatchewan for the last 14 years but is now north of the South Saskatchewan River and heading into more traditional canola-growing country.

The pest will likely expand more rapidly once it reaches more canola fields.

“Where we think it’s going to end up doing really well is southern Manitoba,” Hartley said.

He also said grasshopper numbers look low, but there will be some problem areas.

“If we keep getting 20 mm of rain every couple of days, that’s not going to help them but will help the midge,” he said.

SHELTER BELTS | TREE DELIVERIES

Tree shortage shocks new shelter belt operator Indian Head centre | Temporary operator of the former federal facility says work will focus on re-establishing tree varieties

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Deliveries of trees from the former federal shelter belt centre in Indian Head, Sask., will begin next week, even though the lessee says fewer varieties than expected were found on site.

HELP International chief executive officer Rodney Sidloski said he was shocked to find only eight of 35 varieties of trees available for harvest.

“Decommissioning was going on absolutely full scale, non stop,” he said last week about what he found upon assuming the lease.

“Bolts and nuts were taken apart on major equipment, tilting tables and such. The processing centre looked like an empty Quonset. It was really quiet alarming.”

He said he discovered the lack of varieties only last week because he didn’t have access to field records

before then.

Pre-orders are coming in regularly and some for early pickup have already been filled from the organization’s Weyburn nursery.

HELP has a seven-month lease to operate the centre until October while the federal government negotiates a potential purchase of the former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration operation by the nearby Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation.

Sidloski said 80 percent of the work to be done this year will be to re-establish the centre as a going concern.

He said HELP knew the willows and poplars hadn’t been planted but was surprised to find even fewer trees than expected.

“We’ve already harvested somewhere up to a quarter million or so of poplar stock to start re-establishing the fields,” Sidloski said.

HELP intends to harvest 1.5 million poplar and willow cuttings for rooted seedlings available for fall planting.

Sp r i n g s t o c k i s c o m i n g f ro m Weyburn, other nurseries and other provinces to supplement the eight species found at Indian Head.

Sidloski said HELP added its 300,000 trees, including 13 varieties of poplars, willows and green ash, to the shelter belt centre stock to boost inventory.

Evergreen, caragana, lilac, chokecherry, buffalo berry, hawthorn and dogwood seedlings are also available.

The shelter belt centre offered its trees at no cost during its 110-year history, but there is a price under the new model.

Orders of 300 trees or more cost $1.50 per seedling. A seedling is 25 to 50 centimetres tall depending on the variety. Smaller orders are more, at $2.50 per tree.

Sidloski said orders are averaging 300 trees, and he hasn’t seen much resistance from customers who likely would prefer free trees.

However, he thinks the orders are probably half the size of normal.

Seventy percent of the orders have come from Saskatchewan, 25 percent from Manitoba and only a handful from Alberta.

Three delivery routes have been scheduled from May 10-15 to major centres where pre-paid orders can be picked up. A technician will accompany each order to provide advice to customers.

HELP hopes to launch a fall planting program as well.

“We’re very, very excited we’re going to be launching a big prairiewide fall forestry program that’s never been done before, except for the fact that HELP International has been contract planting since 2000 up to 60,000 trees each fall very success-

fully,” he said.

The centre’s programs are targeted at rural landowners and small communities.

Sidloski said trees benefit everyone, no matter where they are planted. They produce oxygen and make windy Saskatchewan more hospitable.

HELP is a not-for-profit organization that uses a lot of volunteer labour to deliver its programs, including international and Canadian interns from agricultural and environmental programs.

Sidloski said HELP is pleased that it can re-establish operations at the centre while Ottawa negotiates with the First Nations council.

“We have an agreement in principle with them to continue the management of the centre,” he said of Carry the Kettle band. “It’s more complex than that, but we would have a longterm stake in the centre.”

ORGANIC FOOD | PRICE REDUCTION

Walmart trims organic food prices Seeking to boost sales | Some worry farmer premiums will disappear, others anticipate a demand increase

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The world’s largest retailer is taking steps to substantially reduce the price of organic food.

Walmart recently announced it will be carrying the less expensive Wild Oats line in about half of its more than 4,000 stores in the United States.

Customers will save 25 percent or more on the nearly 100 Wild Oats products compared to competing national brand organic products.

“We know our customers are interested in purchasing organic products and, traditionally, those customers have had to pay more,” said Jack Sinclair, executive vice-president of grocery at Walmart U.S. “We know our customers count on us to provide them with affordable access to all of the groceries they are looking for. Organics are no exception.”

Sinclair told reporters that Walmart is “removing the premium associated with organic groceries” in an attempt to boost grocery sales.

Some people have speculated that Walmart’s announcement is the death knell for organics because other retailers will follow suit, eliminating the price premiums that make organic farming a viable option for growers.

Matthew Holmes, executive director of the Canada Organic Trade Association, doesn’t see it that way.

He believes Walmart is expanding its

Walmart plans to reduce the prices of organic products available on its shelves. Some people fear it will mean lower prices for organic farmers, but others say it will attract more consumers and have little effect on the farmgate price. | FILE PHOTO product line and diversifying the price point to appeal to a broader spectrum of consumers.

“Ultimately, in our opinion, that’s a really good thing. It gives more consumers the ability to choose organic

products,” he said. “There is just a tremendous demand out there and it’s growing every year.”

Holmes said the Target chain recently announced that it is expanding its organic product offerings in

the U.S. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if the two mega-retailers make similar announcements in Canada in the near future.

Mainstream retailers like Loblaws, Sobeys, Costco, Walmart and Target

account for nearly half of organic food sales in Canada, so they can have considerable clout when setting prices paid to growers.

However, Holmes isn’t overly concerned about the organic premium eroding. He said demand is far outstripping supply in North America, and that won’t change soon.

Wally Hamm, general manager of Pro-Cert Organic Systems, said there is no financial basis to reduce the premium that organic growers receive for crops used in processed food products.

The corn in a box of Cornflakes accounts for eight cents of the $4.08 price tag, he said, which means there are plenty of ways to reduce the price without slashing what farmers are paid.

He is more concerned about what might happen to the premium for fresh produce because the price of fruits and vegetables on grocery store shelves are more closely related to the farm price.

Hamm agreed with Holmes that the premium for organic crops will remain intact because of the chronic North American supply shortfall. In fact, he thinks it would be there even if supply and demand were in balance.

“The premiums for organic crops will stay there regardless of what Walmart or Target does,” he said.

“That would be my gut feeling because it’s not that easy to grow a bushel of organic wheat or a bushel of organic corn.”

PRICE GAP WIDENS FOR ORGANIC CROPS

Profit reaped in organics: report

A survey of 2014 price expectations for prairie crops shows organic crops command a substantial premium over conventional crops.

While statistics show good returns, some growers wonder if premiums will continue

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wally Hamm says he can’t understand why farmers aren’t converting to organics in droves, given today’s farm economics.

The general manager of Pro-Cert Organic Systems recently produced a widely distributed document called The Organic Advantage, which detailed the financial benefits of organic farming in 2014.

The report shows that organic prices for most crops grown in Western Canada are expected to be two to three times more than conventional prices this year.

It will result in similar or slightly higher gross returns per acre for organic farms after taking into account lower organic yields.

However, net returns for organic farms should be 75 percent higher than conventional operations because of vastly lower variable costs.

Hamm’s numbers show the variable costs on a typical organic farm would be $70 per acre compared to $158 on a conventional operation.

“An organic producer can spend half as much per acre and earn almost twice as much on a net basis

before fixed costs than his conventional neighbour,” he said.

Hamm said there has been a muted response to his 16-page document.

He was expecting his phone to be ringing off the hook, and while there has been some increased interest from farmers wanting to become certified, it has been far from the response he was anticipating.

“Why are those statistics not taking root?” he said.

Blair Rutter, executive director of Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said many growers are content with the returns they’ve been generating in conventional farming and are not thrilled by the idea of converting their land to organic production.

“It takes a bit of a commitment, and if what you’re doing is working for you, some farmers see little reason to change,” he said.

Rutter said conventional growers also worry about the weed pressure if they convert to organics.

While the economics look promising this year, farmers wonder what they will look like once they have completed the three-year transition. “ The premiums may be there today, but will they be there tomor-

row?” he said.

WCWGA director Cherilyn Nagel said Hamm’s sales pitch isn’t resonating with her despite the appealing economics.

“I’m a really strong supporter of science,” she said.

She doesn’t want to forego the use of crop protection products that have become such an integral part of her farm near Mossbank, Sask.

“There is such benefits using fungicide on chickpeas. The plant is healthy, it’s vibrant,” said Nagel.

She also embraces genetic modification and doesn’t want to close the door on future benefits that the technology can deliver.

“The idea that I would shun the science in return for a certification that is based on an economic benefit just doesn’t work for us,” she said.

Hamm said growers should consider making the transition to organic agriculture because that’s where food demand is gravitating.

North American supply falls far short of the demand, which means premiums will be around for a long time.

“We feel that the premiums that are there right now for organic (crops) maybe even aren’t high enough.”

Hamm said he read a newspaper article recently forecasting negative gross margins for most crops grown

in Manitoba. He said those crops are expected to generate positive gross margins under organic production.

CME tweaks daily grain price limit system

Vermont moves closer to GM food labelling law

Limits reset twice a year | The new system will offer trades more flexibility and transparency, says CME official CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — CME Group Inc. plans to overhaul the system for setting daily price limits for U.S. grain and oilseed futures to reflect fluctuations in crop prices.

CME, which owns the Chicago Board of Trade and other exchanges, will apply limits to markets, including corn, soybeans and wheat, that reset twice a year based on underlying price levels, according to a notice from the exchange operator.

The change was expected to start May 1.

CME, which is the world’s largest

futures market operator, said it also will remove price limits for all grain and oilseed options.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission approved both changes, according to the notice.

The revised system for futures limits offers traders more flexibility and transparency by allowing price limits to expand under higher prices or retract when prices fall, CME spokesperson Chris Grams said.

The limits will be reset on the first trading day in May and the first trading day in November.

On May 1, the initial daily limit for

corn will drop to 35 cents a bushel from 40 cents. The initial daily limit will rise to $1 from 70 cents for soybeans and drop to 45 cents a bu. from 60 cents for CBOT wheat, the notice said.

To determine the adjusted limits, CME collected daily settlement prices for July futures contracts over 45 consecutive trading days before April 16.

Average prices for each contract were calculated based on the collected settlement prices and then multiplied by seven percent.

The November limit will be deter-

mined in a similar fashion.

The markets currently have daily price limits that remain unchanged throughout the year. CME had sought feedback from market participants on the changes.

The new system could hurt participation in the markets by exposing traders to greater risks when crop prices are high and by sedating lowpriced markets when risk is already muted, said Terry Linn, broker for the Linn Group.

“It seems counterintuitive,” he said.

“I personally just wish they would set it and leave it.”

‘The issue is disclosure of a technology that people have real concerns about,’ says a health official (Reuters) — The Vermont Senate has passed a bill that would make it the first U.S. state to enact mandatory labelling of foods made with genetically modified organisms.

Unlike bills passed last year in Maine and Connecticut, which require other states to pass GMO labelling laws before they can be enacted, Vermont’s contains no such trigger clause.

Vermont’s effort comes as the developers of GM crops and the packaged food industry push for passage of an opposing bill introduced in Congress that would nullify any law that would require labelling of foods made with genetically modified crops.

GMO labelling is just one front raging in the United States, where consumers increasingly are demanding to know where their food comes from and how it was produced.

“We have a growing food movement in which people are demanding more transparency,” said Michele Simon, a public health attorney and president of Eat Drink Politics.

When it comes to GMO labelling, “the issue is disclosure of a technology that people have real concerns about,” Simon said.

But GM crop developers and their backers say the products have been proven safe.

“This debate isn’t about food safety,” said Karen Batra, spokesperson for the Biotechnoloy Industry Organization. “Our science experts ... point to more than 1,700 credible peer-reviewed studies that find no legitimate concern.”

Batra said mandatory labelling creates needless extra costs and complications for farmers and the food industry.

Vermont’s bill, approved 28-2 by the senate, has already passed the state house of representatives. It now goes back to the house to see whether members will approve changes made by the senate. If passed, the law would take effect July 1, 2016.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, there are GMO labelling bills under consideration in 29 states.

The Vermont bill passed by the senate would require GMO-containing foods sold at retail outlets to be labelled as having been produced or partially produced with “genetic engineering.”

Last October, a group of 93 international scientists issued a statement saying there was a lack of empirical and scientific evidence to support what they said were false claims the biotech industry was making about a “consensus” on safety.

The group said there needed to be more independent research as studies showing safety tend to be funded and backed by the biotech industry.

Trades programs receive funding at Saskatchewan technical school Seven trades and apprenticeships will receive new equipment SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Students and apprentices enrolled in the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology’s agricultural machinery technician program w ill benefit from improved access to new industrial equipment and computer diagnostic technology.

Funding worth $1.4 million from Western Economic Diversification Canada will help address the high demand for skilled workers in Western Canada as well as the increasing requirement from employers to introduce leading edge technologies.

The money will go to seven training programs at SIAST’s four campuses.

It will buy a new tractor, two fork lifts, engines, hoists, computer diagnostic equipment, welders, digital meters, sanders, and other specialized equipment.

Other trades to receive funding include carpentry, electrical, plumbing, welding, automotive service technician and heavy equipment truck and transport.

The new equipment and funding could boost enrolment at SIAST and train an additional 490 skilled workers over two years in these seven trades, which are experiencing shortages of skilled workers.

ment of Agriculture is mandating reporting of outbreaks.

Farmers used to be penalized for overweight pigs, but some processors will now pay extra for record hogs to make up for lost numbers.

Increased weight added the equivalent of 67,000 hogs in last week’s slaughter from a year ago.

Hog prices have risen nearly 27 percent since PED first appeared on farms last May and hit a record of $83.82 per hundredweight in March.

Farmers will switch packers if one docks them for pigs outside their

weight limits.

“If (packers) raise the weights at which they won’t impose discounts, that gives producers the green light, especially those who lost baby pigs,” said Brown.

One Minnesota hog farmer said he switched to a packer who offered him a premium for pigs around 285 lb. from a buyer who docked $11 to $12 per cwt. for pigs heavier than 265 lb.

“We’re tired of leaving that $11 or $12 on the table just because we have to sell a 265 lb. pig to fit the matrix.”

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Porkier pigs are commanding premiums in the United States as packers and producers look to mitigate the effects of a PED-reduced herd by increasing weights to record highs.

However, leaner times may be ahead.

Plumper hogs are helping offset a 10 percent drop in the national herd as piglets die from porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

John Ginzel, an analyst with the Chicago-based brokerage firm Linn Group, said weight was being pushed “to the outside of the envelope compared to what we’ve ever seen.

“They’re elephants,” Ginzel said.

Latest figures released April 23 put average hogs at 286.4 pounds, the fifth record in a row and up 9.3 lb. from a year ago. It adds up to 15 million lb. of extra pork on the market for the week, said Bob Brown, an independent market analyst in Edmond, Oklahoma.

PED has swept through 30 states, and analysts estimate it has killed up to seven million pigs out of a total herd of 62.899 million. More information on the virus’ stretch may emerge now that the U.S. Depart-

offset lower herd numbers, but there are limits to how big these pigs can get, and the onset of extreme heat in the summer slows down weight gains.

For starters, shoppers are already squeezed by record pork prices of $3.83 per lb. Despite the approaching peak grilling and bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich season, high prices might crimp demand from consumers, especially as bigger pigs yield bigger chops and hams.

Heavier hogs present problems for processors because of larger cuts and

packing plant equipment that is made for a specific size of animal, said University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain.

As well, farmers must weigh the benefit of keeping pigs for an extra four days to add 10 lb. of weight against the delay in bringing in a new cycle of piglets.

Ultimately, it comes down to economics, said Plain.

“It takes more amount of feed the bigger the hog gets, so when profit margins are tight, producers won’t feed the hogs as big,” he said.

Rating soybeans based on region: heat units or day length?

An Agriculture Canada soybean breeder says days to maturity is the key number to observe

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Kevin Elmy planted soybeans June 15 last year, which was much later than normal on his farm.

Elmy, an experienced bean grower from Saltcoats, Sask., knows that date is too late for soybeans, but he was conducting a plot experiment on his farm.

Elmy seeded six varieties sold in Saskatchewan with similar company heat unit ratings. They were seeded in 20-inch rows using liquid and granular inoculant and the CruiserMaxx

seed treatment. The same seeding rates were used in all the trials, and the plots were replicated four times.

Four varieties didn’t reach physiological maturity by Sept. 21.

“Even though those varieties were very close for corn heat unit ratings, maturity-wise there was a two and a half week spread between them,” said Elmy.

“Two of the varieties were probably six or seven days away. (The other) two varieties, thank goodness it froze, otherwise (they) would still be green.”

Other agronomic variables were the same, which prompted Elmy to conclude that the varieties that reached maturity Sept. 21 must have responded to shortening day lengths, thus accelerating their progress toward maturity.

soybean breeder in Ottawa, said Elmy’s results are interesting but growers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan shouldn’t rely on day length sensitivity to advance the maturity of their soybeans.

He said farmers don’t need to fret about heat unit ratings or day length sensitivity.

“You should be relying on the actual values for the days to maturity.

Regardless of how it gets (to maturity), when it matures in your region is what’s important,” he said.

“What (growers) have to do is look at multi location trials that are in their area. The most important thing to look at is actual days to maturity.”

Manitoba is moving away from rating beans based on company heat units and is instead adopting the approach used in the rest of North

MPOWER MP O ER® He OW erbbicciddes:

America: maturity groups that range from 00 to IX. Manitoba and Saskatchewan are a 00 region, and there are subgroups within that group: 00.1, 00.2, 00.3 and so forth.

“Within 00 area, each .1 is equal (to) a day (till maturity), approximately,” Cober said. “If it’s two days earlier than a bench-mark, then yours is 00.1 instead of 00.3.”

Cober said maturity groupings are more useful than corn heat units, but the groupings aren’t always accurate.

“Some company could be rating (a variety) a 00.1, another 00.3.… Those ratings aren’t concrete. The real (critical) number is the days to maturity.”

Elmy’s experiment was similar to an Agriculture Canada study in Manitoba, in which Aaron Glenn grew three varieties at multiple loca-

Company heat unit ratings were 2,325 to 2,525 and locations stretched from Morden, the warmest spot in the experiment, to Roblin, in the northern grainbelt, along the Saskatchewan border.

“We (also) had a pretty good range from Morden to Roblin, in terms of what the day length is. Morden just gets above 16 hours (of sunlight) for a few days in June…. Roblin has over 16 hours of day length until mid July,” Glenn said.

“Besides Morden and Portage, where all three of these varieties have been grown no problem … all the other sites, the varieties were expected to vary in their ability to mature and yield… based on their heat units alone.”

PRODUCTION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Two of the varieties, 00s, performed equally well at Roblin and Morden, despite the variability in heat and latitude.

“Days after emergence were just as good at predicting when these different stages of flowering would occur than heat units or day lengths.”

The conditions in Roblin did affect the third variety, which was from the 0 maturity group.

“Every stage was longer to reach at Roblin than at Morden for that third variety,” Glenn said. “It’s a difference of … about 14 to 15 days (to reach) R7.”

Glenn said the results demonstrate that heat units aren’t a good indicator of soybean success because the two 00 varieties differed by 150 in company heat units.

“This confirms the previous and parallel findings … that we can get reasonable yields and adequate quality under what would be suboptimal heat units (compared to) the companies ratings,” he said.

“It strengthens and validates the recent moves (in Manitoba) from using the heat units and towards using the U.S. style maturing groups.”

Horst Bohner, a soybean specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry, said the province abandoned heat units three years ago because it “doesn’t work.”

“The crop heat unit rating is not a good indicator of how a soybean variety will respond in a given area,” he said. “The only way you know how a soybean variety will perform in a given area is to do experimentation…. You come up with a map of which areas can handle which varieties and you have to go to the relative maturity rating.”

The challenge for growers in western Manitoba and Saskatchewan is that soybeans have a brief history in those regions. Sufficient data isn’t available on the performance of benchmark varieties and how newer varieties compare to the benchmarks.

Claude Durand, product development manager with Northstar Genetics, said Saskatchewan lacks specific information for growing regions.

“What you see in the Saskatchewan Seed Guide, they just combine all the locations, whether it’s from Redvers or from Rosthern, and just have an average of all those sites.”

Cober said more collaboration is needed between companies and public soybean breeders.

They need to pool their “resources and agree on relative maturities for benchmark varieties” and how they perform in particular regions.

He said the industry and growers should support extensive trials so that accurate data is available on benchmark varieties and newer genetics.

“The only way you get that is in big variety trials, where you’re growing everything together, so you can get days to maturity, comparing everything.”

Breeder questions lack of focus on heat units in maturity rating Manitoba Seed Guide will adopt U.S. system next year

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Heat units may not be a perfect way to rate soybean maturity, but heat is crucial when growing beans on the northern Plains, a soybean breeder says.

Day length, specifically hours of darkness, determines when soybeans flower and mature in Illinois and other parts of the U.S. Midwest, said Ted Helms from North Dakota State University.

“Up here in (North Dakota), the tendency for the soybeans we grow … they’re controlled both by hours of darkness and also heat units. But they’re more influenced by heat units than by day length.”

The United States categorizes soybeans by maturity groupings and breeds them for the day length of a particular latitude so that they flower and reach maturity at an appropriate time.

Manitoba’s Seed Guide will use company heat units and maturity groups to rate soybeans this year.

However, the plan is to abandon heat units next year and fully adopt the U.S. system.

Helms said that’s fine, but heat is essential to growing beans in North Dakota, Manitoba and Sas-

“Heat units in my area of the world and your area of the world really are the most meaningful measure,” he said.

“In the U.S., we never did use heat units, although we probably should have up here.”

A recent Agriculture Canada study found that two 00 soybean varieties, with company heat unit ratings 150 apart, both performed well in Morden, Man., and Roblin, Man. Roblin receives less heat on average than Morden, which means the results could suggest that it’s possible to successfully grow a variety in an area that doesn’t typically receive the desired heat units.

However, Helms said that conclusion isn’t justified.

Reliance on shorter days ‘less predominant’

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Soybean growers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan often say certain varieties are more sensitive to changes in day length, which hastens their development and progress toward maturity.

Scientists and soybean breeders take the opposite perspective, saying varieties that mature more rapidly in northern latitudes are insensitive to shortening day lengths.

Soybeans mature more quickly under hot and dry conditions, but they also respond to day length. They don’t transition from vegetative to the reproductive stage until a critical day length arrives.

“Soybean maturity genes func-

tion to delay flowering and maturity with long days,” said Elroy Cober, a soybean breeder with Agriculture Canada.

“Moving from the Midwest to Manitoba, you’re getting longer days. If you have late genes, those longer days will really delay flowering and maturity even more.”

Put another way, long days on the Prairies retard soybean development. A variety appropriate for southern Illinois might not flower in Russell, Man., until late August.

Early maturing varieties suitable for Western Canada, known as the 00 group, are less sensitive to day length, which is why they can be

grown above the 49th parallel.

“The day length question, in some of these varieties, has been bred out of soybeans,” said Horst Bohner, a soybean specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry. “Not bred out, but (it’s less) predominant than it was.”

Aaron Glenn, an Agriculture Canada scientist in Brandon, said growers and scientists don’t agree on the terminology.

“The language is different. I’ll say something is photoperiod sensitive if it takes those shortening days to flower,” Glenn said, while growers often describe beans that mature more quickly as day length sensitive.

“Scientifically, that’s incorrect.”

The scientific term is photoperiod insensitive, meaning beans are less dependent on shortening summer days to flower and progress toward maturity.

Advances change composition, expand uses for wallboard ENERGY FIELD

WILL ODDIE

I

t is hard to imagine anything exciting about wallboard.

After all, it has been many years since much of the world settled on some type of wall paneling because

of its ease of installation.

Of course, it wasn’t always that easy to finish walls, and many decades ago there was really only one choice.

Stud walls (2 x 4s in those days) were strapped with rough material known as lath, which was covered with a lime-based plaster using hand tools.

Sometimes the plaster was reinforced with horsehair.

At some point, a clever person decided to replace the lath with sheet material, similar to current drywall, and install plaster over the whole board.

Then an even smarter person said, “hey, let’s put plaster only on the joints, saving time and materials.” And so for

many years, that’s the way it has been.

The sheet material we know as drywall is also called sheetroc or gyproc, after the gypsum from which it is made. Drywall can be made thinner and thicker and can be bent around curves.

It can also be an effective fire retardant barrier. The wood within the wall will eventually burn, but drywall slows the process enough to allow occupants to escape the building.

Drywall also serves to reduce noise transfer using double layers, which is particularly useful in buildings with common walls such as duplexes and apartments.

Regular drywall doesn’t handle moisture well because the paper layers will mould.

A board in which the paper is impregnated with an oil can be used in high humidity situations. This product is called greenboard, not because it is more environmentally friendly but because it has a green coloured paper layer.

Cement board is used instead of drywall where moisture is really a potential problem, such as around a shower. It uses Portland cement instead of gypsum.

Drywall is considered a material of mass. It can slowly absorb heat for later release, similar to stone, concrete and masonry products. This enables excess heat in a building to be moderated during the heat of the day and available for release later when the building starts to cool.

Home builders sometimes place discarded pieces of drywall in the interior wall cavities before they are enclosed to add mass and heat absorption capacity to their walls.

So beyond all those good characteristics, what can possibly be new about wallboards?

There is lightweight drywall-gyproc that is handy, particularly for ceilings where installers bear the full brunt of the weight of the panels.

The lightweight panels are 30 percent lighter and still meet all fire and impact resistance and thermal barrier requirements.

Drywall is not always gyproc. A new panel material, already popular in Europe and Asia, is coming to North America. It is made of magnesium oxide rather gypsum.

MgO does not support mould, is insect and moisture resistant and has good impact resistance. It can be used on exterior walls with a coating and has good fire resistance.

It is considered “greener” because it is an abundant naturally occurring material and is less energy-intensive than gyproc to manufacture. It is also free of toxins such as formaldehyde, silica, asbestos, heavy metals and organic compounds.

Synthetic gypsum is created from a byproduct of flue-gas desulfurization in coal-fired power plants called fly ash. It seems to be a clever way to use what would otherwise be a waste product, but there are concerns about heavy metal contamination, such as mercury.

This may not be a problem when it’s used in wallboard, but drywall represents 15 percent of construction waste, which means there is concern that leaching of the material will

occur when it ends up in the landfill.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has said it is comfortable with the product, but others are not so sure.

Let’s just say that the jury is still out as to whether it is an advancement.

Air Renew, a new drywall product from CertainTeed, claims an ability to clean the interior air of formaldehyde, which is found in common modern products such as glue, paint, cleaning products, cosmetics, furniture, cabinetry, flooring and carpets.

It is a known carcinogen that can also cause headaches, respiratory problems, depression and other health issues.

The company claims Air Renew may absorb and secure formaldehyde for as long as 75 years. It also says the formaldehyde is inert, even in a landfill situation.

Drywall is certainly the most common material used for wallboard, but there are others. Some are even bio-based, which means they are made of natural materials other than wood.

Many of the products have been straw based and mostly from China, but Chlorofill of San Diego has developed an interior panel called DurahStyle, which is based on droughtresistant sorghum and manufactured in Missouri.

Sorghum is a grass-like crop that grows three to four metres high in only four months with little rain. It’s seed is used for sugar (molasses-like syrup or ethanol) or grain (glutenfree flour or animal feed).

Its use in wallboard prevents the stalks from being burned and provides additional income for farmers.

As well, being straw rather than wood means reduced pressure on beleaguered forests.

Sorghum has long fibres, which is important for manufacturing. When layered, they make a strong and durable panel that is formaldehyde-free and made from a renewable resource.

The manufacturer claims DurahStyle will not chip, has low water absorption and will not warp or deform. The panels can accept paint or stain and have a unique look, more like bamboo, so they are likely to be used for architectural purposes.

If you want to finally vanquish that old 1960s basement rec room characterized by ugly and dark faux wood grain with vertical grooves, you now have some newer interesting alternatives. Some of them are even green.

TRACTORS | TRANSMISSIONS

High horsepower, automatic transmission unite in Genesis T8

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Marrying high horsepower to automatic transmissions is becoming more popular with tractor makers, but a non-articulated 435 h.p. CVT is pushing the boundaries.

A few companies, such as Fendt with its 900 series, have been pairing high power with slicker transmission offerings, but the tendency was limited to sub-300 h.p. machines.

New Holland’s new Genesis T8 435 is the biggest mechanical front-wheel assist tractor in North America. With the company’s new version of its continuously variable transmission, it might also be one of the most efficient and easiest to operate that way.

Managing power efficiently in the field has long been done by shifting up and throttling down. The result allows an engine to be at its most efficient when under load, while not going so far as to dangerously lug the tractor or see it power out or spin out in tough conditions.

It’s a skill to find that sweet spot between where the machine uses its fuel well and wastes it, while juggling all the other needs of field operations, such as ideal operating speed and ensuring there is adequate hydraulic flow. It’s also a job that is easy to mess up, especially as the horsepower rises.

The new T8 tractors have married New Holland’s nine litre, Fiat Powertrain, selective catalytic reduction engine to a new version of the CVT, which it has used for several years in its T6 and T7 tractors.

“Producers can call for a five m.p.h. speed and get it,” Nathan Graham of New Holland said during a dealer meeting in Bakersfield.

“The Auto Command lets me run the engine at a speed decoupled from the speed of the tractor, and it will allow me to run it at its most efficient or its most aggressive, for heavy, high speed operations, such as transporting from field to field and hauling loads like big grain carts.”

The CVT has four points of complete mechanical efficiency: three for fieldwork and one for transport.

The computer system that manages the tractor can get it to use as much mechanical and as little hydrostatic drive as possible while balancing the machine’s load and engine speed.

“It’s not like you feel the tractor shifting between those four points, but they exist none the less,” Graham said.

The CVT is made up of three major parts: The hydrostatic pump and motor, a four-gear power shift transmission and a compound planetary coupling the first two together.

The engine directly drives the transmission’s planetary sun gear, while a ring gear is run from the hydrostatic motor.

The sun gear and the ring gear jointly drive a four speed, clutchedtype, power shift transmission.

The ring gear, driven by the hydrostatic motor, stops turning and powering the machine’s movement when the tractor is in a fully mechanical mode. The hydrostatic motor handles variable amounts of the load at driven speeds that are between the four locked-up phases of the transmission.

The higher the amount of hydrostatic loading that takes place, the less efficient the tractor becomes. However, the machine also has the advan-

tage of running the engine in its most efficient power regions, reducing overall fuel use at any speed.

The components of the Auto Command transmissions found in the T6 and T7 tractors are also in the T8, but the T8’s units are set up and arranged differently, Graham said.

“These are older concepts that farmers understand well,” he said.

“We have had the hydrostatic transmissions since the 1940s and 1950s.

This power shift transmission is from the 8970 tractor (model), and the compound planetaries are still found in tractor axles. We just put them together to build something unique.”

From a stop, operators press in the clutch, set the switches on the shuttle control to forward or reverse and release the clutch. The tractor still does not move until the control arm or the floor pedal are pressed.

A thumb wheel on the handgrip sets the target ground speed. Three target speeds can be set into memory and selected. As a result, a target speed becomes the terminal velocity no matter how hard the pedal or arm is pushed.

The computer system will generally try to maximize fuel efficiency while maintaining target speeds.

The units have a manual engine droop control that sets a limit on the lower or upper engine r.p.m. The upper r.p.m. is limited when the droop is being operated normally, and the lower is set when in power take-off mode.

There are four main modes of operation: • Automatic is the most efficient.

• Cruise mode allows some operator influence over the loading and efficiency.

• Manual mode allows the driver to set both engine and tractor speed.

• P.t.o. mode guarantees a constant p.t.o. output speed.

There is also an aggressiveness setting that lets the operator decide how much power should be applied and how rapidly.

A middle setting is available for baling or other tasks that require smooth, constant speeds.

A slow to speed up, efficient mode allows for heavy draft tillage and seeding tools and where heavy loads need to achieve speed gradually.

The most aggressive setting is used for road transport.

The power shift transmission is still available on the big New Holland, with the CVT being an option.

U.S. WEATHER | CALIFORNIA HERD REDUCTION

Drought forces California cattle to greener pastures Migration brings consolidation | Texas has taken in more than 47,400 cattle and ‘the sell-off is not over yet,’ says official (Reuters) — For decades, ranchers from the east have brought their livestock to California, where mild winters and lush natural pastures created prime conditions for fattening beef cattle.

No more.

The grass is stunted and some creeks are dry in the midst of the worst California drought in decades.

Ranchers in the Golden State are loading tens of thousands of heifers and steers onto trucks and hauling them eastward to Nevada, Texas, Nebraska and beyond.

“If there’s no water and no feed, you move the cows,” said Gaylord Wright, owner of California Fats and Feeders Inc. “You move them or they die.”

The exact head count for livestock on this cattle drive is not known, but a Reuters review of state agriculture department records filed when livestock cross state borders indicates that up to 100,000 California cattle have left the state in the past four months.

California has shipped out cattle before, but the current migration is far bigger and includes more of the

state’s breeding stock, said Jack Cowley, a rancher and past president of the California Beef Cattle Improve-

ment Association.

It could be doing outsized damage to the nation’s 18th-largest cattle herd because California ranchers will have difficulty rebuilding once the drought breaks, said cattle ranchers and area livestock auctioneers.

“We spend a lifetime building the herd the way we want,” said Cowley.

“Now, we’ve lost all that.”

Two weeks ago, he sold 18 percent of his breeding herd, or 200 cattle, to an operation in Nevada because he did not have enough water.

another 200 cattle.

Beef prices are already are at record highs, and increased transportation costs and rising uncertainty about where and how many future cattle will be raised and processed are adding upward pressure, industry analysts say.

The national cattle herd is at a 63-year low because high grain prices and drought during the past several years have encouraged producers to send animals to slaughter early and reduce herd sizes.

There are some signs of change.

Producers have started holding back breeding heifers and female calves from the slaughterhouses in places where the drought has eased or where ranchers are willing to gamble that rain will fall, according to government data. However, they are also buying California cows.

The California exodus underscores a little-noticed development in the U.S. beef industry: the evolution of an increasingly mobile livestock herd, which must travel ever-greater distances to feedlots and slaughterhouses as the industry consolidates.

The last major slaughterhouse near the California-Mexico border, National Beef Packing Co.’s plant in Brawley, Calif., plans to close May 23.

The company said the drop in available cattle sparked the move, and some ranchers in southern California say they will need to cross state lines to reach the next-closest packing house.

The Brawley plant could process 1,900 head of cattle a day, or about two percent of U.S. slaughter capacity, according to industry analysts.

However, feedlots are closing in the region, and the plant couldn’t be assured of a steady supply of livestock.

“The fact is, this migration cycle is going to bring about even more consolidation,” said Curt Covington, senior vice-president for the agricultural and rural banking division at Bank of the West.

“Unless you see Noah come out to California with a boat, you’re not going to see these cattle come back here any time soon,” Covington added.

State government paperwork provides insight for tracking cattle trailers as they cross state lines.

The top destination appears to be Texas, long the nation’s largest cattle producing state. Buyers this year have hauled in more than 47,400 California cattle, a 71 percent jump over the previous year’s first quarter, according to state agriculture department data.

“Some of our California cows are going to be Texans. There’s no way around it,” said cow-calf producer Tim Koopman, president of the California Cattlemen’s Association.

“The sell-off is not over yet.”

Nebraska, home to more cattle in feedlots than any other state, has also joined in. More than 14,000 California cattle arrived in the first quarter of this year, compared to just 542 cattle that made the trek in the same period last year, according to state records.

Many of the cattle crossing state lines are doing so at lighter weights than normal because of scarce water and high feed prices.

PLANT HEALTH | COSMETIC PESTICIDE BAN

Manitoba pesticide ban misguided: toxicologist Legislation would ban cosmetic use | Leading toxicologist says the Manitoba government plan shows a lack of expertise

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The Manitoba government announcement to ban cosmetic pesticides provided several quotes in a news release that included comments from doctors, parents and anti-pesticide activists.

It even included a comment from a well known children’s entertainer.

“Congratulations Manitoba for your new pesticide ban. Your children and families will thank you for this, for generations to come,” said Raffi in the release.

However, the release failed to include comments from toxicologists or a toxicology society, even though toxicologists study the adverse affects of chemicals on living organisms, like humans.

James Bus, a U.S. toxicologist who has studied pesticides for 35 years, said the Manitoba ban demonstrates an absence of expertise.

“The level of sophistication in terms of understanding the science and appropriately making judgments about the science, usually diminishes as you (become more local),” said Bus, former president of the U.S. Society of Toxicology and the American Board of Toxicology, a member of scientific advisory boards for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration and the author of dozens of publications, books and scientific reviews on the toxicity of pesticides “You would expect, at your federal level, to have your most sophisticated scientific expertise…. When you’re making decisions at the community level, you often find zero expertise.”

The Manitoba legislation will allow property owners to use pesticides on their lawns, but only provincially approved bio-pesticides.

The regulations do not apply to farms and forestry operations. The province said there would also be exemptions for certain practices and conditions, such as for gardens, golf courses and to control noxious weeds, poisonous or invasive plants Manitoba farm groups have criticized the pesticide ban, called the science inconclusive and the rhetoric inflammatory.

“MBP (Manitoba Beef Producers) has concerns regarding the artificial distinction being made between so called cosmetic use of pesticides and agricultural use,” the Manitoba Beef Producers said in a letter to the province.

“We do not believe that products can be considered safe in one environment and toxic in another. It is our view that this distinction between different uses of products sends an unfortunate (and ultimately dangerous) mixed message to the public at large.”

Bus, who has received multiple awards during his scientific career with Dow Chemical, Michigan State University and the Upjohn Company, said there is no evidence that common lawn herbicides like 2,4-D cause cancer or any health problems in children.

“There is no regulatory agency in

the world… that regards 2,4-D as a human carcinogen or as a threat to children’s health.”

Bus said Health Canada through the Pest Management Regulatory Agency establishes exposure limits based on “extremely conservative” evaluation of the science.

For 2,4-D for example, agency scientists review data from experiments where mice and rats are fed a diet containing 2,4-D for a two-year period. The animals are monitored for adverse health outcomes, including cancer.

“Those studies (identify) what we call a no observed effect level,” Bus said. “In those studies the overall no observed effect level… was five milligrams per kilogram of body weight, per day. That’s the dose (of 2,4-D) by which the regulators use to make their judgments.”

The PMRA then divides the five mg per kg figure by 100, to build a generous safety factor into the exposure standard for humans, which is 0.05 mg per kg.

Exposure experiments demons t rat e h o m e ow n e r s a re ra re l y

exposed to 0.05 mg of 2,4-D per kg of body weight, when label instructions are followed.

Keith Solomon, a University of Guelph toxicologist, published a study in 1992 on human exposure to 2,4-D. Solomon and Shelley Harris recruited 10 volunteers to sit, stand and roll on a plot of grass 24 hours after a 2,4-D application. Five volunteers wore long sleeves and pants and five volunteers wore shorts and bare feet.

“No detectable residues were found in urine samples supplied by

volunteers exposed to sprayed turf 24 hours following application,” Solomon wrote.

In the same experiment Solomon had volunteers go on the grass one hour after 2,4-D was applied. The scientists detected 2,4-D in the urine of volunteers who were barefoot and wore shorts, but the levels were well below the no effect level from rat experiments. “ Th e d o s e t h o s e i n d i v i d u a l s received was still 1,000 times lower than the five mg per kg of body weight,” Bus said.

ANIMAL WELFARE | GENOMICS

Breeding for productivity or animal welfare?

Ethical questions also an issue | Cattle scientist says producers may have to consider welfare in selecting genetic traits

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

CALGARY — Should animal welfare trump productivity when it comes to trait selection in livestock?

Dr. Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein says yes.

Speaking at an April 23 Genome Alberta meeting, the Agriculture Canada beef cattle welfare research scientist said knowledge of genomics allows breeders to select for specific productivity traits, such as carcass quality, feed conversion and milk production.

However, selection for those specific traits could come at the cost of animal health and welfare.

For example, selecting and breeding dairy cattle that produce more milk resulted in the unintended consequences of higher incidence of mastitis, lameness and fertility problems.

“Successful livestock production will only be accomplished through welfare-conscious management, and I’m going to stick my neck out and say that health and welfare traits should take precedence over production traits,” Schwartzkopf-Genswein told her audience of animal researchers, geneticists and economists.

They were gathered to explore the ethical, environmental, economic, legal and social implications of livestock genomics.

The technology has the potential to produce animals with better resistance to disease and stress, for example, but that also has implications for welfare.

The researcher posed a hypothetical situation in which chickens genomically selected to be blind

That might be better for the bird and for the producer in one sense, but there are ethical questions.

“How far do we go, and who decides?”

Similarly, animals could be selected to thrive in sub-optimal conditions or to be more docile and less sentient. They could then be raised

under poor conditions at less financial cost, though the ethical question also comes to bear.

Schwartzkopf-Genswein said in a later interview that she introduced the welfare-over-production debate to generate discussion.

“I did it to be a bit controversial, actually. Honestly, do I think that we’re going to forgo production for

welfare? It hasn’t happened in 100 years, so is it going to happen now?

No.” However, she also said animal welfare concerns are gaining prominence, forcing retailers to set animal management policies for suppliers on areas such as open sow housing and free-run chickens.

Livestock producers might one

day have to consider how to apply genomics technology so that welfare is also a consideration, she said.

Producers might be willing to select for optimal animal health if they could do so with minimal reduction in productivity, she added.

“I think you have to look at a sliding scale on either side, where there is some balance between optimal welfare and optimal production that both fit together, and it’s not good welfare at the cost of production,” she said.

“If you have optimal health and welfare, how can you not have better productivity, at least overall?”

Dr. Joe Stookey, who studies and lectures on animal behaviour at the University of Saskatchewan, rejected the idea of choosing welfare over productivity in trait selection.

“I really do believe selection can improve and sort of address welfare issues,” he said.

For example, the need for dehorning, which is a painful procedure for cattle, could be addressed through selection for polled traits.

Tail docking, a painful procedure done to pigs to prevent tail biting, could be eliminated if animals were genetically selected against such behaviour.

In her presentation, SchwartzkopfGenswein said animal health and welfare can be hard to measure, such as fear, boredom and depression.

That, in turn, makes it difficult to select for certain traits with confidence that results will not increase animals’ non-physical experience.

Andrew Kernohan, a philosophy professor at Dalhousie University, said he embraces the notion that animals should not be worse off as a result of genetic selection.

VENEREAL DISEASE | PREVALENCE

Trichomoniasis prevalence low but exposure can be disastrous

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA, Neb. — The prevalence of trichomoniasis is probably low, but the results are disastrous if this venereal disease appears in a cow herd.

“I can assure you if you or your neighbours have it, prevalence doesn’t matter. It is a big deal,” said Jeff Ondrak, a bovine veterinarian at the University of Nebraska’s Great Plains Veterinary Educational Centre.

“If you have cows, and 50 percent of your cows are open, trich is a pretty important disease to you.… It is assumed somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of cows exposed to trich positive bulls get infected.”

JEFF ONDRAK BOVINE VETERINARIAN

Recently published research in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation estimated prevalence at 5.5 percent in Texas herds but probably as high as 30 percent in Florida.

Bulls carrying the protozoa in their genital tract spread disease when they breed. The cows lose the fetus at 50 to 80 days, but late term abortions have also been reported.

The cow clears the infection and cycles again, but chronic and persistently infected cows can be a problem.

The disease has been known since 1888, when fertility problems were noted in France. It had spread worldwide by 1920 and first appeared in the United States in 1932.

“Most vets will say trich is a problem that pops up every 10 years or 15 years,” Ondrak said at a trichomoniasis meeting held during the National Institute for Animal Agriculture convention in Omaha April 1-4.

“They don’t get excited about it and it dies down.”

The male shows no clinical signs.

Researchers believe bulls develop

crypts in the prepuce as they age, which allows the infection to live on and continue the infection.

The tip of the penis has the highest amount of the parasite, according to Ondrak’s most recent research.

Chronic carriers are usually bulls three years or older.

There is no treatment, so positive bulls need to be slaughtered. Vaccines have been developed with limited success.

“It will reduce pregnancy loss related to the disease. For people in high risk areas or they have a neighbour who is unwilling to deal with trich, the vaccine may be useful,” he said.

Bulls need to be tested, but there have been complaints with poor test-

ing technique, information misread at laboratories and false positive or negative results.

Testing requires collecting and culturing smegma from bulls and then examining it in a laboratory. Smegma is a cheesy collection of cells gathered from around the prepuce.

Chances of detecting the parasite increase if the bull is separated from cows for at least two weeks before testing.

Trichomoniasis is a notifiable disease in Canada, where its presence is acknowledged but no immediate actions are taken.

TRICHOMONIASIS | U.S. PREVENTION PROGRAMS

Trichomoniasis precautions can save herd Rules, programs vary | In some states trich must be reported to officials

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA, Neb. — Brent Tanner learned the lesson of buyer beware the hard way when trichomoniasis was found on his Utah ranch 35 years ago.

He had never heard of the venereal disease until a new bull he bought from a reputable purebred breeder was turned loose with 20 heifers.

He got the bad news when it came time for pregnancy checking.

“Over half of them came up open,” he said in an interview during a special meeting on trichomoniasis held in Omaha during the National Institute of Animal Agriculture convention April 1-4.

He contacted the breeder and had the bull semen checked. At the same time, his veterinarian checked for trichomoniasis.

“We didn’t know trich existed. We had never heard of it before. Our vet was smart enough to look for all kinds of things,” he said.

The breeder told him the twoyear-old was a virgin but later admitted it was used as a yearling on a few cows.

“Fortunately he hadn’t been out with our general herd,” Tanner said.

He runs 1,000 cows and 100 bulls, which are turned out into large public grazing areas. It could have been a disaster for his herd and other producers using the pasture.

The bull was destroyed, and Tanner has become a cautious bull buyer who insists on testing and does not believe claims about previous sexual experience.

“I won’t purchase a bull that hasn’t been tested. When they talk about certifying a virgin bull, they will never sell one to me,” he said.

The Utah Cattlemen’s Association started a voluntary testing program, which requires bulls be tested before they can enter a common breeding pasture.

Bulls that test negative wear a colour coded dangle ear tag. They must have a health certificate if the tag is missing.

“In our valley we have been clean for years. In our state we still have incidences of trich, even though we have been testing longer than most of the states,” he said.

Tanner said on his ranch open cows are culled and he won’t try reb re e d i n g w h e n b u l l s m ay b e spreading the infection.

“This year-round calving thing is just perpetuating these diseases,” he said.

“Let’s get into a 90 to 120 day calving period because there is something good to be said about pulling those bulls out of the herd.”

Tanner buys bulls from purebred breeders or consignment sales and does not buy animals from public auctions or animals that may have been used before unless they have been tested.

“If I am going to lose 50 percent of my profit in a year, I am going to be a bit picky,” he said.

The regulations surrounding

Trichomoniasis can be devastating if an infected bull is introduced to a herd. Producers should have incoming bulls tested before they are bred to heifers. These yearling heifers on the Robert Anderson ranch near Hanna Alta., are healthy and ready for their first summer. | LINDA ANDERSON PHOTO

Standardization for interstate movement of bulls was proposed at the trichomoniasis session. The NIAA agreed on the following: • Bull exposure to females should not be allowed for 60 days after the trichomoniasis test.

• Acceptable diagnostic methods such as PCR, pooling or other new tests should be defined.

• A producer affidavit for virgin bulls should be available at sale time.

• Trichomoniasis should be made a reportable disease. Laboratory reporting of positive cases should go to state veterinarians.

• Cow management and tests are needed because non-pregnant females are a potential source of infection. trichomoniasis vary from state to state in the U.S. Texas receives breeding cattle from out of state, as well as from Canada and Mexico. It started a state-wide trichomoniasis program in 2010.

“There are no international entry requirements for trich, so we had to put a state rule in there and said a breeding animal has to be tested shortly after arrival,” said state veterinarian Dee Ellis.

It is listed as a reportable disease in Texas. Vets must be educated about the disease and certified to collect samples.

“Our premise is a control program, not an eradication program,” Ellis said.

“Maybe in 20 years it will be an eradication program with technology changes.”

Kansas also made trichomoniasis a reportable disease, which includes veterinarian training, as well as herd biosecurity plans, said Bill Brown, the state’s animal health commissioner.

Kansas has tracked prevalence since 2011, and last year found 25 positive herds.

Seed stock producers were asked

• Out of state cows for sale should have a calf at side or be 120 days pregnant. to provide herd management plans, and they are allowed to sell virgin bulls up to the age of 24 months without testing.

Kansas also added a female component to regulate interstate movement of cows.

Wyoming has also found a high incidence of the disease in the southwestern part of the state, so it stepped up testing requirements.

Common grazing areas are a major issue.

Bulls going into public or private grazing leases have to be tested because trichomoniasis is a management disease, said Colorado state veterinarian Carl Heckendorf.

Colorado relies on state regulators and brand inspectors to check for negative trich tests. He is not sure about certified-free herds.

“Trich certified-free herds may exist but did not work if the neighbour’s bull jumped the fence,” he said. “You still should trich test your bulls every year to be on top of things.”

Dealing with females is also important, although most states pay less attention because there are too many of them to make testing feasible.

TRICHOMONIASIS | TESTING

Standard trich test urged

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OMAHA, Neb. — U.S. veterinarians want standardized testing and sampling procedures for trichomoniasis.

“Different diagnostic labs want their samples prepared differently so we need to know that before we do the sampling,” said Jeremy Van Boening, who runs a private practice in Nebraska.

Some states require that bulls be tested to make sure they are not carrying the venereal disease, but varying laboratory requirements confuse practitioners in the field.

The first national meeting of its kind to discuss trichomoniasis was held at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture conference in Omaha April 1-4.

Anthony Smith of BioMed Diagnostics in White City, Oregon, said he understands the need for standardization, but until that happens, local labs should be consulted on their requirements for sample submission.

Samples are often collected in the field in less than sanitary conditions and arrive in varying conditions through the mail or couriers.

“Ninety percent of diagnostic errors are not from the laboratory technical procedures,” Smith said. “They happen between collecting the animal and getting it to the laboratory.”

His lab works with university veterinary schools, other laboratories, government regulators and seed stock producers.

Most labs use polymerase chain reaction tests, which are sensitive in

synthesizing the DNA in the sample.

Collection and shipping of samples must be done properly to protect them against heat, cold and contaminants.

The sample includes material called smegma, which is collected from around the preputial fornix area of the penis by inserting a slim pipette attached to a 12 cc syringe. The sample then goes into a special tube or pouch, which should be sent to a lab as soon as possible.

The samples may be pooled with others once they arrive at the lab. The tests are so sensitive that they can still detect the infected individuals. Pooling a batch makes the tests more affordable.

A good sample needs 50 to140 living trichomoniasis cells to be effective.

False positive results may occur if similar organisms are present.

The sample may also contain somatic cells, blood, urine, pus, bacteria and yeast. Some labs will reject cloudy samples with blood, urine or other contaminants because they might consume trich cells.

Tiffany Brigner of the Colorado agriculture department’s Rocky Mountain Regional Animal Health Laboratory said a new test released this year can provide results with just a few trich cells present.

“We are able to detect extremely small amounts of DNA,” she said.

Results could take five or six days in 2000, but the new technology can yield a positive scan in 25 minutes.

HOGS | PED PREVENTION

Alberta Pork welcomes funds for biosecurity Hog industry will work with truck wash facilities, abattoirs and slaughter plants to reduce risks

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Frank Novak said if he was a gambling man, he would bet that the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus will show up in Alberta.

“When you have as many moving parts as we have in the livestock industry in Western Canada, there are so many opportunities, literally hundreds and hundreds every day, for someone to make one small mistake and let this bug get into our province,” the chair of Alberta Pork said during an announcement of funding to help keep the virus out of the province.

“It’s a bug that is so easy to move and there is so much trade back and forth across the Canada-U.S. border. It is inevitable there will be times when the bug will make it across the border.… We’re trying our very best. This money allows us to do a bit better.”

Alberta Pork received $1.35 million from the federal and provincial governments to boost its biosecurity programs.

The money will be used to update the organization’s swine risk assessment, train veterinarians to perform on-farm biosecurity audits and develop educational materials for producers and industry officials about best biosecurity practices.

PED has been confirmed in 30 U.S.

The mortality rate for baby pigs suffering from porcine epidemic diarrhea is almost 100 percent. | states and has killed more than five million piglets. In Canada, it has been found on 54 farms in Ontario, two farms in Manitoba, one in Quebec and one in Prince Edward Island.

“It is a very virulent bug. Our veterinarian calls it angry virus. It is very easy to spread,” said Novak, who credits Western Canada’s excellent biosecurity system on hog farms as the reason it hasn’t arrived in Alberta barns.

Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said the money is intended to help Alberta’s 380 pork producers prevent the disease from entering the province.

“We want to make sure the industry stays sustainable, healthy and

vibrant,” said Olson.

Alberta produces 2.3 million market hogs a year.

“We are working very hard to prevent the entry of that disease into Alberta … and have a plan to react if anything untoward should happen.”

Novak said the funding comes at a critical time. Few producers could withstand the financial and psychological stress of finding the disease in their barn after years of tough financial times.

“There is a sense of guarded optimism about the future after a series of very challenging years,” he said.

Hog transportation has been identified as one of the biggest ways in which PED is spread. The funding

MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO

will help the industry work with truck wash facilities, abattoirs and slaughter plants to reduce the risk of the disease spreading.

PED mostly affects baby pigs, and the mortality rate is almost 100 percent for at least four weeks after the virus enters a farrowing barn until there is a buildup of antibodies.

“You can imagine the devastation both financially but psychology of the people whose livelihood is taking care of animals, and they sit there on the farm, once that bug has been confirmed, knowing that every single baby born on that farm will die. That’s devastating,” Novak said.

Producers have stepped up securi-

ty since the North American outbreak started, including ensuring all trucks are washed, disinfected and dried before loading other pigs.

It’s estimated 25,000 to 30,000 trucks a year move pigs in Alberta.

They must now all be washed, dried and disinfected. It costs $500 to $800 to wash a truck thoroughly.

The new rules mean trucks sometimes must wait eight hours for their turn at the truck wash, said Novak, who has boosted biosecurity at his pork operation.

“Every single vehicle that comes near any one of our farms now has to be certified as being washed, disinfected, dried and tested by a third party auditor,” he said.

BACTERIAL INFECTION | CONTROL

Tiny mycoplasma bovis bacteria major cause of pneumonia ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

T

he bacterium mycoplasma bovis is responsible for significant illness and death in beef and dairy cattle.

They are the smallest of all known bacteria and lack a cell wall, which is an important target for many antibiotics.

Several clinical diseases are associated with infection, including pneumonia and less commonly, arthritis, udder and inner ear infections.

Airways in the front lung lobes fill with dead cells, pus and bacteria, which prevents normal air movements and leads to impaired breathing and clinical pneumonia.

Mycoplasma is transmitted through infected milk from cow to calf. Weaned calves acquire infection through direct contact and possibly aerosolized means.

Half of the healthy calves that arrive in feedlots are infected with M. bovis, and almost all become infected after two weeks.

However, a tricky feature of this bacterium is that cattle can be infected without any illness. Simply giving calves mycoplasma will not induce the disease. They have to be affected by other factors to get the disease.

Healthy calves that stay on their home turf are much less likely to develop pneumonia compared to calves that are shipped, mixed and put in feedlot pens.

The reasons why feedlot calves develop mycoplasma pneumonia are poorly understood.

Some researchers have identified associations between mixing different aged cattle, which might increase social stress as the pecking orders are worked out.

Prophylactic antibiotic treatment may also increase the risk.

Mycoplasma pneumonia is a relatively new player to the bovine respiratory disease game, having been first described in 1961.

Perhaps a more deadly strain emerged or maybe producers, feedlot staff, veterinarians and pathologists have just become better at recognizing it.

Acute cases of mycoplasma pneumonia are indistinguishable from other bacteria and viruses that cause pneumonia in feedlot calves.

Signs of illness include coughing, weight loss, fever, flared nostrils,

increased respiratory rate and effort.

O n e maj o r d i f f e re n c e i s t hat mycoplasma also infects joints, leading to lameness and arthritis.

Calves with mycoplasma pneumonia do not respond to antibiotic treatment and go on to develop chronic pneumonia.

Not only are these calves repeatedly treated, but many are euthanized for welfare reasons. As a result, mycoplasma pneumonia hurts the bottom line.

One study has estimated that the disease results in $32 million in annual losses in the United States.

Mycoplasma can be eradicated from herds, but this may not be practical in most settings because a large percentage of animals may be carriers.

However, some dairy herds have successfully eliminated mycoplasma, so it can be done.

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization are developing a new type of vaccine.

While traditional vaccines have used killed virus, it is questionable whether or not these vaccines are effective.

In the first stage of their work, the researchers found a way to reliably recreate the disease for experiments. They discovered that infection with bovine herpes virus, which

This is a lung from a feedlot steer. Multiple airways are filled with tan debris (arrows). | JAMIE ROTHENBURGER PHOTO is the causative virus of IBR, followed by inoculation with mycoplasma, reliably created a chronic, progressive pneumonia that is similar to mycoplasma pneumonia in feedlots.

In the same study, they found that BVD infection does not lead to mycoplasma pneumonia.

This work is important because it sets the stage for future vaccine trials

in which mycoplasma pneumonia can be reliably induced and the protective effects of vaccine evaluated.

With no effective treatments, efficacious vaccines may be our best hope at controlling this significant cause of disease in calves.

EDUCATION | PARENTAL PRIDE

Meeting time with teachers and kids COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

like being a parent.

It ain’t all roses, that’s for sure, but the good feelings seem to make up for any frustrations. Kind of like the Peace Corps slogan: “the toughest job you’ll ever love.”

My wife and I just finished the season’s round of “student led conferences.” They’re one of the good parts of the parenting job, at least so far.

We used to call them parent and teacher conferences, where, I guess, parents and teachers would hash things out about their invisible student-child.

I think it’s good to let the student have the responsibility of telling their parents and their teacher how things are going and for the process to have a new moniker.

Responsibility is a good thing. They rise up to meet the challenge as we stoop down to sit in those ridiculously small chairs in the kindergarten and first grade classroom.

I guess that’s why we generally have children when we’re young because there’s no way a six foot two cowboy much older than I am would ever be able to get back up after sitting in that little chair for the 15 minutes of conference time.

More often than not, my wife and I make it a priority to both attend the student conferences. That way, one of us can give the other a hand and extract ourselves from those teeny tike chairs.

It’s funny how these children, who will talk your ear off about what happened on the playground, or tell you knock knock jokes until you can hardly bring yourself to say “who’s there?” again, get kind of shy and need a little coaxing under the spotlight of leading their conference with their teacher and parents.

I reckon that’s not unusual, especially if you’re a kindergartener who “got in the yellow” a time or two on the green-yellow-red traffic light behaviour ratings, or if you have to break it to your folks that the lunch money account is overdrawn again.

Luckily, our school doesn’t have overdraft charges like the bank, and

they do let the kids keep eating until we remember to send a cheque to school.

I like being in our school building.

Everyone in the community takes a lot of pride in it: how well it’s kept up and having it available as a community centre of sorts.

I like knowing our teachers, seeing them around town or in church or at a meeting, and knowing who our children are with for a good chunk of each day.

The conferences went well, but the part that stood out most for me was a single piece of artwork and writing that came from our first grader’s folder as he led us through his conference.

They had read a children’s book in class called The Important Book, a 1949 classic by Margaret Wise Brown.

The assignment was to draw a picture and to write and complete the phrase, “I am important because....”

Our first grader is important and special for 100 or more reasons in my mind, but the one he picked out t o w r i t e w a s, “ I a m i m p o r t a nt because ... I am a rancher.” Then he drew a cowboy roping a steer by the horns.

I swelled up with pride when I saw that, especially since it just so happened to be National Agriculture Week during the conferences. Our son did not hang his head one bit about what we do for a living. No use

It’s nice to discover your children are as proud of being a rancher as you are. | FILE PHOTO of the word “just” in describing his fifth generation vocation.

We produce food. We take care of the land. We raise strong families. We can draw a pretty good horse and cowboy and steer. And we have nice penmanship.

It was well worth our time in the little chairs with our knees up to our chin to see that.

Industry applauds agreements | Bilateral deals are becoming more important, says minister

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian farmers and agribusinesses as well as foreign players praised Canada’s aggressive trade deal campaign during the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

Getting more and better deals was seen as key to allowing prairie farm production to expand without running out of demand, whether that’s through bilateral, regional or global agreements.

“More direct access, more opportunity, it has to be a good thing,” said Canola Council of Canada chair Terry Youzwa.

Cereals Canada chair Greg Porozni agreed.

“I think any time that you can lower or eliminate trade barriers … is a good thing, especially for Canada because exports are so important.”

Federal international trade minister Ed Fast heralded the government’s commitment to trade deals, laying out the differences between current deals and explaining why country-to-coun-

try deals and regional deals are both necessary.

Fast said the new free trade deal with South Korea was defensively focused, attempting to regain market share that Canada began losing when the United States and other exporters achieved free trade deals first.

“We’ve seen our market erode in South Korea,” Fast said.

“We needed to play catch-up.…

This agreement will level the playing field with our major competitors in this market.”

Fast said the free trade deal with Europe, also proposed but not yet finalized, was not driven by the same need. He said the intention there was to get access to a market now largely blocked to Canadians.

“It was an effort to take advantage of a huge opportunity,” he said about the European Union, which has a population of 500 million people.

“And that was to get a leg-up, firstmover advantage over the United States. We have achieved that.”

Cargill Inc. executive chair Greg Page said in an interview that Canada achieved a lot by getting its EU deal done before the U.S. “I think having an agreement with the Europeans, who are seen as difficult counterparties, I think it’s a feather in the hat of Canada,” said Page.

“I think just being in the (news) paper and being seen as people that can make meaningful compromises that lead to an actual change in trade relationships, it just builds your brand as a country that’s open for business and willing to (work) with other people.”

Fast said Canada needs deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership, which is still being negotiated, because Canadian businesses become difficult for foreign partners to trade with if Canada’s competitors form a deal between themselves.

“The reason we want to engage in the regional context is because of supply chains,” said Fast.

“If we simply stick to a bilateral trade agenda, and others around the

world are starting to put into place regional trade agreements that strengthen their own supply chains, Canada will be on the outside looking in.”

Fast said regional and bilateral deals are more important than ever because the World Trade Organization isn’t working well. Trade disputes can be successfully resolved, but it can take years.

“At the multilateral level … things have slowed down dramatically,” he said.

“Because that process is so slow, many countries in the world have now seen bilateral, regional and plural-lateral negotiations as the interim way forward until the WTO re-energizes.”

Pulse Canada chair Nick Sekulic supported the government’s attempt to reach more trade deals.

“We are obviously big supporters of approving any kind of free trade and bilateral trade agreements to level the playing field with other suppliers of our commodities into the market.”

RAILWAYS | FINANCIAL RESULTS

Railways report higher earnings in first quarter

BY BRIAN CROSS & REUTERS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest railway companies reported higher than expected earnings April 22.

They also took another opportunity to criticize Ottawa for imposing new regulations that are likely to affect railway profits.

Canadian Pacific Railway, the country’s second largest railway company, reported record first quarter net income of $254 million, or $1.44 per share. It’s up from $217 million, or $1.24 per share, in the first quarter of 2013, a 16 percent increase per share.

Canadian National Railway reported a 12 percent increase in first quarter net income. It was $623 million, up from $555 million in the same

period last year.

First quarter revenues at CN were just shy of $2.7 billion, up nine percent from the first quarter of 2013.

During conference calls to investors, executives from both railway companies expressed their disappointment at Ottawa’s “knee-jerk” response to supply chain constraints that have limited the movement of prairie grain to export position this winter.

“With due respect to regulators …

I’m not sure they understood really what they were dealing with,” said CP chief executive officer Hunter Harrison.

He criticized Ottawa’s move to expand railway interswitching provisions to 160 kilometres from 30 km.

“It makes very little sense to me,

and it has political syrup all over it,” he said. “If you look at (the three prairie provinces) … the only other carrier that could come into our territory is Burlington Northern. I’ve talked to them several times and they’ve got their hands full trying to handle U.S. grain, so it’ll be a long time before they reach into our territory.

“Will it (interswitching) be less efficient? Yes. Did the regulators understand that? No. But once again, we had very little if any dialogue or feedback or interplay (with government) as far as suggestions of anything that should have been done to fine tune the system.”

CN president Claude Monee said Ottawa’s decision to introduce new legislation and tougher regulations “will do little to help move grain.”

“I think it is highly unfortunate that the Canadian government decided, in the heat of the moment, to react to the 100 year crop for grain … and introduce legislation that I think will do little to help move grain and sets us back in terms of sound transportation policy in Canada,” Mongeau said. “But Parliament is stubborn.”

News of record profits at CP and stronger-than projected profits at CN have evoked a predictable response among prairie farmers, who are sitting on millions of tonnes of undelivered grain and staring down a record year end stocks forecast. “(It ) rubs me a little bit,” said Jim Wickett, a farmer from Rosetown, Sask., who served as chair of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association.

“Western Canada had a bumper

crop and we didn’t really get to reap the benefits of that,” he told Reuters April 22. “(Railways) only ran trains when they could gain the maximum amount of profit. And as farmers we just have to sit and take it.”

CN chief financial officer Luc Jobin said business prospects remain strong based on steady demand in several key business sectors.

“We’re coming back strong from the extreme weather conditions experienced in the first quarter… Our network is quickly catching up with demand and we’re optimistic with our prospects for the balance of the year.”

The company reaffirmed its 2014 guidance aiming for double digit earnings-per-share growth from last year.

MISSION STATEMENT | DOCUMENTING VALUES

Power of a mission statement — and why to put it in writing THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

I

s a mission statement just a bunch of nice-sounding words or could it be useful on your farm?

Ontario farmers Dale and Marianne Donaldson have one, and six “values” to go with it. Here’s the tale behind the one that states: Recognize the truth even if it is difficult to accept.

Dale Donaldson was 24 when he and Marianne started Everspring Farms in 1985, and the plan was to find a niche in ducks and geese.

One particular goose, a low-fat breed slaughtered at a young age, seemed especially promising. It was a popular Chinese food not raised in Canada, and the couple had a distributor eager to serve this untapped market. It seemed perfect.

“We expanded way too much and way too quickly,” Donaldson said.

“To make a long story short, we had thousands of these birds that were the wrong breed and processed at the wrong age. They all ended up in the Toronto food bank. Obviously no money was made that year. It was a very bitter lesson and now we stick to a ‘crawl, walk, run’ approach.”

Here’s another life lesson distilled to just a few words: listen to others and recognize that everyone has a need.

The value is the reason why Everspring has a line of products that appeal to consumers who aren’t exactly fans of duck l’orange: barley grass juice, sprouted grains and seeds and a product called SmartGrain.

“A lot of people who buy these products are vegetarians or vegan,” said Donaldson.

“We have a poultry processing plant, so certainly that’s not our thing at all.”

The couple first grew barley grass when a vet told them of its nutritional

benefits and recommended it as a feed ingredient.

“All we knew was that our animals just loved this stuff,” said Donaldson.

“Then we started getting calls from people.”

It would have been easy to brush off those callers. They had worked with a feed company on a process that turned the whole plant (roots and all) into a liquid, which was then dried into a powder and fed to their geese and Muscovy and Pekin ducks .

Making juice meant processing just the blades of grass as well as developing food safety protocols and special packaging. It was a whole other game and a good reason to say, “sorry, we can’t help you.”

But they didn’t.

“When people believe in something and come to you, it’s a mistake if you don’t at least sit down and listen to them,” said Donaldson.

“It goes back to that value: everyone has a need. And if fulfilling it fits with your business and your goals, why not try to fill that need?”

So Everspring Farms began making barley grass juice. They’ve since added a range of sea buckthorn products, sprouted grains and the SmartGrain line, which uses a patented “ingraining process” and fish oils to boost omega 3 levels.

Every product has at least one partner connected with it: the feed ingredient company, a host of farmers who raise ducks and geese for them, their sea buckthorn supplier and the university professor who developed the ingraining process.

So it’s no surprise that another of Everspring’s values is: everything is a win-win situation. There is plenty for everyone.

It’s been a dozen years since the couple wrote out their vision, mission and values. It’s not a document they look at every day, but Donaldson said it makes a real difference.

Those words come to mind when contemplating a new venture or hiring someone and wondering if they’d be a good fit.

Of course, the couple’s values — listening, looking for win-wins and facing the facts — were deeply ingrained before they were written down. But even then, it was hard to

capture them on paper.

“It can take years to put into words what you’re trying to do,” he said.

“If you can articulate it and then look at those words from time to time, it reminds you of what you’re trying to accomplish. Sometimes we have to stop and take a few minutes

1DWLRQDO (QHUJ\ %RDUG

away from the busyness of our lives and ask, ‘why are we doing this?’ ” A mission statement and list of values can be nothing more than nicesounding words. It depends on how you use them.

For the Donaldsons and many other farmers, they are a way to ensure

the things that brought success in the past continue to do so in the future.
