FNA reveals plans to buy control of CWB Farmers to regain stake in sector | Newly built Genesis Grain & Fertilizer could use CWB assets SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatoon-based organization is hoping prairie farmers will open their wallets and throw their support behind a plan to acquire a controlling share in CWB. Representatives from Farmers of North America used town hall meetings last week to share details of how they plan to acquire a controlling share in CWB. FNA chief operating officer Barrie Mann told about 20 producers attending an Oct. 3 meeting in Davidson, Sask., that his organization has established a new company, Genesis Grain & Fertilizer, that will buy and sell grain and give farmers a muchneeded ownership stake in Western

TIRED OF EXCESS GRAIN HANDLING MARGINS DISGUISED AS “BASIS”?

Canada’s highly profitable grain handling sector.

Genesis will also distribute fertilizer produced at a manufacturing plant that FNA is planning to build at Belle Plaine, Sask.

Construction of the fertilizer plant is also being financed by farmer investments, but it would operate as a stand-alone company.

Genesis will be involved in fertilizer distribution, grain origination and at some sites, farm input sales.

For the purpose of grain origination, CWB’s existing assets would be an ideal fit for Genesis.

In essence, farmers who invest in Genesis would be buying into a multi-facetted company with a grain handling component that is tied to the acquisition of CWB assets.

Farmer ownership is a key element of the Genesis proposal.

To get the new venture off the ground, FNA plans to sell shares to qualified farmers for $1,000 per unit.

Investors must be farmers and would be required to meet pre-established investment criteria.

Shares will be sold in blocks of 10, meaning a minimum investment of $10,000.

Mann said FNA is hoping to raise as much as $380 million through the offering.

Ideally, $20 million will be in place by mid-October, although Mann said that target date could be moved back if necessary.

FNA has organized 90 meetings in farming communities across the West.

The meetings, which continue this week and next, are aimed at sharing information about Genesis and gauging investor interest.

Producers who attend the meetings are asked to submit non-binding expressions of interest, giving promoters an idea of how much money they might be willing to invest.

A full list of meeting dates and locations is available on FNA’s website at www.FNA.ca.

I n D av i d s o n , m u c h o f F NA’s pitch was focused on the value of CWB assets, the merits of farmer ownership and the steps that might be involved in acquiring a controlling share in the former wheat board.

GRAIN MARKETING | FROM PAGE ONE

FNA bids on CWB However, Mann acknowledged that there are many unanswered questions surrounding C WB’s finances.

FNA does not know how much grain CWB handled in 2013-14, nor does it know how CWB is financing current efforts to develop a prairiewide grain handling network.

Mann said FNA’s team of experts has valued CWB’s assets at $200 to $300 million, but in an interview after the meeting, he said CWB has not disclosed its finances to FNA. “Our numbers are strictly based on public documents (that are) out there and knowing what transactions have occurred and from public files,” he said.

The value of CWB’s assets is a topic of increasing interest.

The company’s assets include Mission Terminal at Thunder Bay, Ont., Prairie West Terminal at Plenty, Sask., Great Sandhills Terminal at Leader, Sask., a corporate office building in downtown Winnipeg, a fleet of hopper cars, two laker-sized ships that will soon be hauling cargo on the Great Lakes and other smaller grain handling and railway assets across the country.

The company has also announced four new elevator construction projects in Western Canada, the latest near Glenlea, Man. The construction of four new elevators is expected to cost $50 to $100

million, although CWB officials have declined to share details on costs.

There are also lingering unanswered questions about the ownership of the CWB assets that would be involved in any deal to sell or privatize CWB. Ownership of the former assets, including the money in a contingency fund worth more than $125 million, is at the centre of an ongoing legal battle between the federal government and a group that represents aggrieved farmers.

Claimants in that case argue that assets in CWB’s contingency fund were generated through the sale of farmers’ grain and therefore should be returned to producers.

It is widely assumed that money contained in the former contingency fund was leveraged and now serves as the primary source of investment capital behind CWB’s current efforts to build a western Canadian grainhandling network.

Legal battles aside, CWB has been offering farmers $5 worth of CWB equity for each tonne of grain they commit to CWB’s various marketing programs.

Mann gave no indication of how much CWB equity has already been handed back to farmers through the farmer equity plan.

Since Aug. 1, 2012, CWB has not publicly shared details of its annual sales programs.

Fifth PED case found in Manitoba Investigators search for source | Biosecurity lapses can have deadly consequences for barns

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Manitoba has confirmed its fifth case of porcine epidemic diarrhea, this one in southeastern Manitoba beyond the five-kilometre buffer zone of the last two farms with positive diagnoses.

Investigators are trying to determine the source of the disease at each of the three new sites.

“The producers that are affected are really doing nothing much worse as far as biosecurity goes from what we see everywhere else in the industry,” Mark Fynn, an animal care specialist with Manitoba Pork Council, said during a conference call Oct. 3.

Tight biosecurity measures have become critical to controlling the disease.

Awareness is growing about the devastating effects of the virus, but not all farms and service providers are following the guidelines. Mil-

lions of pigs have died in the United States in more than 30 hog producing states.

Canada has had 70 positive cases in Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba.

“In our disease investigations, we are starting to identify some serious lapses in biosecurity,” Fynn said.

“Almost everyone we have talked to had at least one or two minor lapses of biosecurity on their site.”

He said producers have the responsibility to protect their farms.

“Trust me, you don’t want to get the disease,” he said. “The emotional toll is huge on the affected producers. If you are looking at a sow site, you are killing piglets for four weeks. It is really tough on the staff and workers.”

The virus more commonly strikes in cooler weather, so increases were anticipated during this fall and winter.

“As winter comes along and the presence of more PED virus in the

environment in Manitoba, we have to continue to be very diligent, especially with our transport biosecurity,” Fynn said.

Clinical signs of PED include diarrhea, fever, vomiting and newborn deaths.

Alberta swine veterinarian Egan Brockhoff of Red Deer said it is almost certain death for piglets, but mature animals have also been stricken.

“In adult pigs, this disease is very subtle,” he said.

“A lot of time is going by before people are identifying it.”

Often, hogs have been moved off the farm and new ones brought in by the time the disease is diagnosed in sows and late finishers, which increases the risk of spread.

“We really need to be paying close attention to any loose stools in your grow-finishing and mature breeding herd population,” he said.

Alberta has collected nearly 4,500 samples, and all were negative.

Swabs were taken at farms and high risk areas, such as transfer sites, assembly yards and truck washes.

Zoetis just received a conditional licence for a two dose, killed vaccine for sows in the U.S. The treatment is similar to an earlier registered vaccine and is labelled only for control in endemic herds.

It will not prevent infection but can help control the disease and stop a complete disaster.

Other preventive measures include avoiding feed containing dried blood plasma, which has not been definitively cleared as a cause in spreading of the disease.

“Grossly contaminated feedstuffs can serve as a vehicle for PED infection in pigs,” said veterinarian Frank Marshall.

Feed treatments are also under scrutiny.

70 cases

OF PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED IN CANADA

Statistics Canada might not be calling 9,300 Canadian farmers next September to find out the size of their crops.

T h e f e d e ra l a g e n c y h o p e s t o replace its annual fall phone survey with a mathematical model that estimates production of principal field crops.

“The goal is to make the decision in December whether we use this approach for next year,” said Frederic Bedard, geomatics analyst with Statistics Canada.

The decision will be based on how closely the mathematical model reflects the numbers contained in the survey.

“I was pretty pleased this year,” said Bedard.

“We’re still crunching numbers but we’ve done a few crops and so far I’m happy.”

The results will be forwarded later this fall to senior Statistics Canada managers, who will make the decision after consulting with a committee comprising officials from Agriculture Canada, the provinces and industry.

The model produces the estimates using historical crop survey yields, weather data from climate stations and data compiled from low resolution satellite images of vegetative growth.

However, it isn’t foolproof.

“Last year wasn’t as successful because of the record yields,” said Bedard.

It is hard to estimate production for a once-in-a-lifetime event with a model that uses historical yields, he said.

“We were something like 15 percent below, which is not that good. We’re more aiming for maybe five to 10 percent maximum deviation.”

Canada’s railways complained they were blindsided by the size of last year’s harvest and were unable to marshal the proper resources to handle the crop, so there may be some skepticism about a model that tends to underestimate big production years.

However, Bedard said the September production report isn’t the only estimate of the year. The July survey will remain intact, as will the one conducted in November.

The November survey is considered the most accurate estimate because it has the highest sample size and is conducted after harvest is complete.

“The industry will still have time to react,” said Bedard.

The big benefit of replacing the September survey with the mathematical model is there will be no need to bother 9,300 farmers during a busy time of the year.

There will also be considerable cost savings because there is a lot of work gathering, compiling and analyzing survey responses.

FUEL IN THE FIELD

Canadians wary of U.S. farm plans

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farm groups are wary about two new safety net programs made available to growers in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently unveiled the Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs, which are the business risk management cornerstones of the 2014 farm bill.

Farmers have until early spring of next year to select which program will work best for their operation until the end of the 2018 crop year.

The PLC program covers growers when the price of a covered commodity is less than a reference price.

The ARC program covers growers when the revenue of a covered commodity is less than an ARC benchmark.

Blair Rutter, executive director of the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association, said both programs have the potential to be market distorting because they are price-based.

“It seems a bit of a throwback. I thought we had moved beyond these types of price support programs,” he said.

“I would say these new programs are very much a concern, especially given the low market prices that we’re seeing.”

Scott Ross, director of business risk management and farm policy with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, shares Rutter’s fears about the programs’ market-distorting nature.

“Certainly the potential is there, there’s no question,” he said.

“They’ve moved from something that was delinked from production to a set of programs that is intimately related to where prices are moving.”

It remains to be seen if the new programs will trigger more farm safety net dollars than the old direct payment regime. It will depend on what happens to crop prices and in the case of the ARC program, prices and yields.

Examples of some of the reference prices for the PLC program are $5.50 per bushel for wheat and $10.08 per bu. for canola. Today’s market prices are close to those subsidized floor prices.

Rutter is particularly concerned about the impact on small market crops. The PLC reference price for lentils is 20 cents per pound and for small calibre chickpeas it is 19 cents per pound.

“If market prices were well above the support prices, it wouldn’t have any bearing, but that’s not the case,” he said.

“Prices have gone down and they look like they’ll stay down for a while.”

The ARC program uses an Olympic average of national farm prices from 2009-13. Rutter worries that the average includes three years of pretty high prices, making it easier for growers to trigger payments at today’s values.

“That can lead to distortions in terms of cropping patterns and also leads to greater production than might otherwise be the case because if farmers are shielded from the true market price, they put on more fertilizer than they might otherwise,” he said.

TRADE | REGULATIONS

EU pledges smoother approvals for GM Canada-Europe trade deal | European Union has been slow in approving GM products in the past

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The European Union has given Canada a written commitment to expedite the approval of genetically modified crops.

The promise is contained in the text of the recently concluded CanadaEurope Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).

It states that both parties agree to promote efficient science-based approval processes for GM traits, with the key word being “efficient.”

“I think this is vitally important,” said Jim Everson, vice-president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada.

The council was pleased tariffs on canola oil will be eliminated upon implementation of the agreement, which is expected in early 2016.

However, equally important is what is being done to remove a significant non-tariff trade barrier, which is the lengthy and unpredictable approval process for GM traits.

“Unless there is serious commitment to addressing this issue around biotechnology approvals, then the agreement is not going to be that helpful,” said Everson.

It takes on average four years for a GM trait to receive import approval

in Europe, which is roughly twice as long as other comparable jurisdictions, according to EuropaBio, which promotes biotechnology in Europe.

Everson said the cumbersome approval process delays Canadian growers’ access to new traits because the industry has to respect the import requirements of important trade partners such as the EU. A biotechnology working group will be established under CETA to improve approval times and develop low level presence policies.

Monsanto Canada welcomed the development. In 2013, the company pulled all of its pending approval requests to grow GM crops in the EU. “Possibly a new working group will help the existing process and provide the opportunity for future import approvals,” Monsanto spokesperson Trish Jordan said in an email.

Everson expects the working group will include officials from Agriculture Canada, the Canadian Fo o d I n s p e c t i o n A g e n c y , t h e Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development and their European counterparts.

It will not tamper with the EU’s existing approval process.

“It doesn’t entail any change to the

process or any reduction in the standards that get applied by the Europeans in the approval of GM traits,” he said.

The European Food Safety Authority will still complete environmental, human and animal health safety assessments, which is the sciencebased evaluation portion of the approval process.

The working group will focus on streamlining the political aspect of the approval process, which can take six months to years.

Commodity groups have pushed for years for similar changes but have little to show for it. Everson believes CETA brings a new level of commitment to the issue.

The National Farmers Union does not share his optimism.

“CETA changes nothing regarding Europe’s commitment to avoiding food made from genetically modified crops,” said Ann Slater, the NFU’s vice-president of policy.

“It’s fine to put something in a trade agreement and say we’ll talk about it,” said Slater.

“It’s still a whole other thing to have a population change their mind as to what they will purchase and eat.”

Slater said if anything, the trade agreement will bolster the resolve of Europe’s anti-GM forces.

CETA IN NUMBERS • In 2013, Canada was the European Union’s 12th most important trading partner, accounting for 1.7 percent of the EU’s total external trade.

• In the same year, the EU was Canada’s second most important trading partner, after the U.S., with around 9.8 percent of Canada’s total external trade.

• The value of bilateral trade in goods between the EU and Canada was C$830 billion in 2013.

Machinery, transport equipment and chemicals dominate the EU’s exports of goods to Canada, and form an important part of the EU’s imports of goods from Canada.

• The value of bilateral trade in services between Canada and the EU amounted to $38 billion in 2012.

• Most commonly traded services between Canada and the EU include those in the transportation, travel, insurance and communication fields.

• In 2011, European investors held investments worth $365 billion in Canada, while Canadian direct investment stocks in the EU amounted to about $200 billion.

CETA negotations started in 2009.

Long harvest keeps winter wheat out of fields 1.13 million acres forecast | CWB analyst Bruce Burnett cuts winter wheat forecast by almost 900,000 acres

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Winter wheat seeding prospects for 2014-15 have taken a big hit.

“We were thinking it was going to be record breaking, given the amount of unplanted acreage that we had this year in the prime winter wheat growing area,” said Bruce Burnett, the CWB’s weather and crops specialist.

Two months ago he was forecasting two million acres would be planted on the Prairies this fall, which would have shattered the previous record of 1.5 million acres set in 2008.

His revised estimate calls for a crop no bigger than last year’s 1.13 million acres.

Two factors are conspiring against winter wheat: the quality problems of the 2013-14 crop and excessive harvesting delays.

Winter wheat in the main growing areas of eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba is a disaster with high levels of fusarium and sprouting, low falling numbers and poor protein levels, said Burnett.

He estimates more than half of this year’s crop will either be feed wheat or “toxic waste,” his term for sample grade wheat.

Most of what remains will make the No. 2 grade, which is unusual given winter wheat has more relaxed grading standards than spring wheat.

There is usually a much higher proportion of No. 1 grade.

Rain in late August and early September caused extensive quality damage.

“It was in a very critical stage right when we received those heavy, heavy rains that hit the bulk of the winter wheat area,” said Burnett.

“It’s just a matter of timing. The timing this year was just extremely unfortunate for the winter wheat crop.”

If spring planting had been on time, the winter wheat would have been fine and the spring wheat would have suffered, he said.

Late harvest has also restricted winter wheat acreage. Farmers are too busy taking off summer crops to think about planting winter crops.

“In a har vest that has been as

Delayed harvest operations this fall have also cut into his projections for the 2015 crop. | FILE PHOTO severely delayed as this one, it makes it extremely difficult,” said Burnett.

Ken Gross, a Manitoba agronomist with the Western Winter Wheat Initiative, said some acres were seeded in the southwest corner of his province.

“Outside of that, I’ll tell you it’s been a tough go almost everywhere else,” he said.

It was too wet to seed during the first two weeks of September and when the weather finally turned warm, farmers were more concerned about harvesting than seeding.

He believes Manitoba acreage will be well below the 400,000 acres planted last fall.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re down to a quarter of a million, to tell you the truth. I’ve got some key guys that have been growing it every year, and they just couldn’t get it into the ground,” said Gross.

Paul Thoroughgood, a Saskatchewan agronomist with the Western Winter Wheat Initiative, said there was a lot of promise this fall.

“I know from speaking to seed growers that seed sales were very brisk, demand was really high,” he said.

“I suspect a lot of that was targeted towards unseeded acreage, and that is going to be a real challenge.”

Thoroughgood said it’s a shame growers had trouble planting the crop because seeding conditions were ideal.

“My own winter wheat has just jumped out of the ground because the ground was warm and moist and away it went,” he said.

Thoroughgood said it is unfortunate crop insurance guidelines persuaded growers to avoid seeding in mid to late August because crops

planted in that time frame would have fared well.

He doesn’t think fusarium was a big problem in Saskatchewan.

“That is pretty much a Manitoba thing that probably got overblown,” said Thoroughgood.

“It was a big deal in Manitoba, but the growers I’ve talked to, in Saskatchewan anyway, myself included, fusarium levels were low, really low.”

He looks forward to Statistics Canada’s first acreage estimate in early December, noting that sometimes growers are full of surprises.

Mustard yields expected to decline as season progresses First yield reports positive | Mustard buyer expects average Canadian yields to fall below last year’s total

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A mustard buyer in southern Alberta says he expects the effects of a wet and cool year will be evident when the final harvest numbers are tallied, which could give prices a boost.

However, the earliest harvested fields are showing signs of another successful season.

“Those samples are just starting to come in. For the samples that have arrived, the yields are really quite good,” said Walter Dyck with Olds Products in Lethbridge.

The company, which contracts

acres in Alberta, Saskatchewan and some northern U.S. states, is beginning to receive harvest samples from its growers.

Dyck said last week that his first samples are in the 1,000 pounds per acre range.

Saskatchewan Agriculture projected yields of 1,044 lb. per acre in late September.

“There’s still, I think, more to the story to be told,” said Dyck.

“I would say for that average, that projection, that to me is definitely on the high side.”

Statistics Canada’s most recent forecast is for higher yields this year

from 465,000 acres, most of which are in Saskatchewan. Acreage is up 100,000 acres from last year.

Canadian farmers averaged yields of 947 lb. per acre during last year’s record growing season, although Saskatchewan Agriculture data showed that many growers saw yields exceed 1,200 lb. per acre.

Mustard officials said in July that most of the crop had escaped the worst of the weather and flooding issues that had already started to dampen production estimates on the Prairies.

However, Dyck said more weather woes across most regions and the appearance of frost will affect later

seeded and harvested mustard fields.

Baine Fritzler, vice-chair of the Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission, said in an email that most mustard acres in his area near Govan, Sask., were hailed out. He’s also heard of poor quality and lost acres in Manitoba because of flooding.

“The drop in the yield below last year, I think, was something that I saw as coming down the pipeline,” said Dyck.

Saskatchewan’s most recent provincial crop report pegged the mustard harvest at 81 percent complete Sept. 29.

“That last 20 percent, boy, there’s

probably some significant issues with green (seed),” said Dyck.

He said the samples he’s seen are cleaner than last year, showing signs of effective herbicide use.

He said growers with contracts are protected from a decline in spot prices for mustard, which are down from the 38 to 39 cents per lb. for yellow and 33 to 34 cents per lb. for brown in this season’s contracts.

“As we see more samples come in and I think more the yields come down a little bit off the projections by StatsCan or (Saskatchewan Agriculture), I think … maybe we’ll see those prices go up a little bit again,” he said.

India’s winter pulse crop could be in trouble even before it is planted.

Soil moisture conditions are far from ideal in key pulse crop states because of a disappointing summer monsoon.

The Indian government estimates the kharif (summer) pulse harvest will be six million tonnes, 14 percent less than last year’s output and 26 percent less than the government’s target.

Harvest for the summer crop and seeding for the winter crop happens during the same stretch, in the October through December period.

Pulses that Canadian farmers produce are grown during India’s winter, or rabi season.

Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are two of the most important states for rabi pulse production.

They accounted for 46 percent of India’s chickpeas, 71 percent of its lentils and 78 percent of its peas in the three-year period between 200809 and 2010-11, according to Indian government statistics.

Monsoon rain between June 1 and Sept. 30 was dismal in those two states, according to India’s Meteorological Department.

Rains were 12 percent deficit in west Madhya Pradesh, 29 below normal in the east, 42 percent deficit in east Uttar Pradesh and 56 below average in the west of that state.

It doesn’t bode well for the coming rabi crop, which is heavily reliant on soil reserves and reservoirs left over

from the monsoon rains, said G. Chandrashekhar, associate editor of the Hindu Business Line.

“Prospects currently look precarious as the southwest monsoon started to withdraw earlier in September. This has left limited subsoil moisture,” he said in an email.

“Unless there is sufficient precipitation in November-December, rabi planting may suffer, yields will vary and harvest will be short of the target of 12.5 million tonnes.”

India is coming off two huge chickpea crops of 9.9 million tonnes in 2014 and 8.8 million tonnes in 2013.

It pushed prices in India below the minimum support price of $550 per tonne for an extended period.

Chandrashekhar said the low prices could discourage growers from planting chickpeas. Prices perked up recently, but it may be too late.

“All-in-all, India’s shortage is likely to widen in 2014-15 and will have to be met through additional imports,” he said.

The country already has commitments in place to import one million tonnes of pulses, mainly yellow peas and lentils from Canada and other pulses from Myanmar and Africa.

Jon Driedger, an analyst with FarmLink Marketing Solutions, said pulses are already the bright light in agriculture markets, with top quality lentil prices “going through the roof” and lots of support for yellow peas.

The dry conditions in key rabi states could further bolster prices this winter.

“It’s for sure going to be a bit of a

concern. Maybe it’s going to help provide some support for pulse prices going forward,” he said.

In the meantime, Canada’s crop is shrinking.

Statistics Canada pegged the lentil crop at 1.76 million tonnes in its September estimate, down nine percent from its July estimate. The pea crop is pegged at 3.5 million tonnes, which is close to where it was in the July estimate.

Driedger said the lentil story is about quality rather than quantity.

Little of this year’s crop will grade No. 2 or better.

Greg Kostal, president of Kostal Ag Consulting, agreed that users’ ability to adapt to Canada’s poor quality crop is the key issue in pulse markets this year.

“I’m optimistic because we’ve dealt with this in 2010, and importers and the trade have experience with wrinkles,” he said.

Buyers don’t have a lot of other import options when it comes to red lentils because Turkey and India both had short crops.

Kostal said it’s a good sign that India recently extended its duty exemption on imported peas, beans and lentils until March 31. The exemption was set to expire Sept. 30.

It shows that the government is nervous about domestic supplies.

However, Kostal believes it is too early to be downgrading India’s rabi crop production prospects.

“All you need there is a few timely rains to keep things going. More importantly is what happens December through February.”

Crop market searching for seasonal bottom Production data | No big surprises seen in Statistics Canada report

SEPTEMBER PRODUCTION ESTIMATE OF PRINCIPAL FIELD CROPS

BY ED WHITE

Statistics Canada’s September crop production report made modest adjustments from its July numbers but generally the market was not surprised.

Production of major crops is down from 2013 but there are more pulse and special crops.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

All eyes are on the Oct. 10 U.S. Department of Agriculture report to see if it ends the string of bearish news that has brought crop markets low.

If the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report doesn’t worsen the bearish situation, the mood could become more positive and mark the end of harvest pressure. Early signs of bouncing off the bottom might have been seen in recent days, with a number of crops rallying sharply off multiyear lows.

“I think we need to see Friday’s actual corn and wheat production estimates, and see how the market reacts, before we can safely say corn and wheat have put a low in,” said Mike Krueger of the Money Farm in Fargo, North Dakota.

“I think the (soy)bean market … maybe has one more leg down, depending on what the government tells us.”

Austin Damiani of Frontier Futures in Minneapolis thinks the market lows for grain are already in, but no big rally is likely.

“We’ve been telling customers that for wheat, we’ve seen a harvest low,” said Damiani Oct. 6.

“There hasn’t been anything, any change to supply and demand fundamentals, that are bullish. It’s simply that we’ve traded the negative balance sheet. It was an argument for covering the short positions. It’s not really an argument for going long and saying wheat has to go higher.”

U.S. markets are lumbering under the weight of big corn and soybean crops and ample supplies of wheat and have sold off greatly since spring.

Corn and soybean crops have appeared to grow bigger as the year progresses.

However, Krueger said most of the negative story is already priced into the markets, so the USDA might have to find surprisingly good yields, beyond the record yields already expected, to justify a further reduction.

Krueger said soybeans have the greatest downside potential because of soybean meal fundamentals, but he thinks canola and sunflowers could gain in relative strength because of the improvement in world vegetable oil dynamics.

“That should give the high oil crops an edge; it just might not be much of

An abundance of soybeans in the U.S. has pushed down prices. | FILE PHOTO an edge,” said Krueger.

Statistics Canada’s newest production estimate didn’t faze markets when it was released Oct. 3.

Canola production at 14.1 million tonnes was slightly less than the average of analyst expectations, but many expect Statistics Canada’s number would rise in the final report.

That has been the pattern for a few years.

“They are almost notorious for underestimating in the October report and walking it higher in December,” said analyst Jon Driedger of FarmLink Marketing.

“The number’s simply too low.”

FarmLink estimates 15 million tonnes of final canola production.

The Statistics Canada wheat numbers didn’t surprise markets either, but Brian Voth of Agri-Trend Marketing said that’s because the raw volume of the crop isn’t the most important factor.

“One thing that report doesn’t say is the quality side of it. That’s a bigger issue than anything this year,” said Voth.

Bear sentiment has been so strong in recent weeks that otherwise bullish stories have not played much of a role in the markets, Damiani said.

Australian wheat production estimates are being reduced now, and much of the U.S. hard red winter wheat area appears to be back in drought conditions.

Neither situation has sparked mar-

MARKETS

PRICE BOOM AND BUST | SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Will crops follow commodity market?

HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

Can the crop market rally independently of a commodity market that’s in the doldrums?

H

ere’s an uncomfor table question: how much of those 2006-13 profits came from inadequate crop supplies and booming demand and how much from lofty oil, copper and other commodity prices?

The answer to that question hasn’t really mattered to growers for the past few years. It was just an academic concern.

However, it’s now a more pressing question because crop prices are down, as are almost all commodity prices.

If overall commodity prices stay down, how high can crop prices rise based only on their own sup-

ply and demand?

This has become a serious issue because many analysts believe the era of high commodity prices is past.

I did a Google search on the subject of “the long-term commodity bull market” and got a flood of results.

Many heavyweight analytical firms back the “bull market is dead” idea and have done so for a couple of years.

As Ruchir Sharma of Morgan Stanley wrote in a commentary in May 2013: “Certainly, the world is no longer terrified of running out of important commodities.”

A year later, the bull market doesn’t seem to have any more life.

A stunning similarity leaps off the charts as I look at 25-year corn, soybean, canola, copper and crude oil futures prices.

There are differences in the slope and scale of individual peaks but extremely loud echoes.

For instance, spring wheat, canola, corn and soybeans peaked in 2008 and 2012, but wheat and canola peaked higher in 2008 than 2012, while corn and soybeans peaked higher in 2012.

So what does the loss of underlying commodity market strength, if that in fact remains the case, mean for the low, median and high prices of the crop market for the next

few years?

As always, the markets aren’t making it easy for us to figure it out.

Students of the long-term commodity bull market, which began around 2000, will recall that crop prices took a few years to catch up with rising commodities such as copper and oil. Agricultural commodities initially seemed to have missed the boat.

Then prices took off in 2007-08, rising to unbelievable levels. Anyone remember the futures price peak of $24 per bushel spring wheat?

That was a year of damaged global production and projections for bottom-of-the-barrel ending stocks, which could be said to be the cause of the super-high prices.

However, it was also the year when oil futures prices hit record highs of more than $140 per barrel and copper hit an all-time high that lasted four years, until it peaked higher in 2012.

That rally coincided with the other great peak in crop prices, when the Midwest drought demolished yields and sent prices soaring again.

How do you disentangle the crop market peaks in 2008 and 2012 from the accompanying commodity complex peaks of those years?

How do you know what crop prices would have been in 2008 and 2012 if oil, copper and other commodities had been low?

This matters because if indeed the overall commodity bull market is dead, as so many analysts say, then farmers will need crop prices to rally independently of general, years-long commodity strength to get better long-term profitability.

Like many debates, this one has minimalists, maximalists and ones who think the question is a misunderstanding.

Minimalists say the behaviour of other commodity markets is almost irrelevant because ending stocks are 95 percent responsible for crop price moves.

Maximalists say overall commodity strength provides most of the underlying crop values, with weather and other supply-affecting elements providing only marginal changes in relative commodity-tocommodity values.

The ones who think the question is a misunderstanding argue that the commodity boom was caused by demand surging, falling and then surging again.

Every commodity roughly rose and fell together because people everywhere were demanding more of everything.

There’s lots of fodder here for agricultural economists to work on for decades, but farmers get to do their own research.

They’ll do that by simply living through the coming years and seeing what happens.

And that’s not an academic situation.

Growers are advised to sell feed quality oats before the harvest picture is clear and a glut pushes prices even lower. | FILE PHOTO OAT PRICES | KEEP OR SELL?

Oat buyers scout for quality crop Growers should learn what millers need

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Deciding what to do with 3CW oats is a tough call for farmers and marketers, who aren’t sure how prices will evolve this year.

“A No. 3? That’s anyone’s guess,” said Jared Seitz, director of the Agfinity online prairie grain brokerage.

Grain marketers say the most obvious approach to marketing this season is to sell and move moist, lowquality crops as soon as possible and hang on tightly to high quality crops.

It’s because the Prairies are overflowing with damp, damaged crops that are likely to degrade in storage, while top-quality crops are hard to find.

However, it is uncertain what to do with oats that are neither good nor bad. Marketers say farmers need to understand that the oats grading 3CW can, because of subtle differences, either go into the strong milling market or the low value feed market.

Analysts see both upside and downside for 3CW oats, depending on these differences.

It depends on how the market develops once the harvest glut is past and more is known about supplies.

Randy Strychar of Ag Commodity Research said farmers need to understand what matters in the milling market. Stained and discoloured oats are OK for milling, but sprouted oats aren’t. There’s no reason to hang onto anything sprouted.

“It’s the groat that’s the issue,” said Strychar.

Added Seitz: “Anything under 40 pounds, there are no benefits to storing it. Might as well get it out there before everyone else.”

However, year end oat stocks will likely be a razor thin 500,000 tonnes.

Many millers and grain companies will be aggressively looking for 3CW oats for the milling market, making stained grain a non issue this year.

“Anything that’s 40 pounds or better, and it’s decent-looking and fairly clean, there will be buyers for that,” said Seitz.

Buyers are already looking for acceptable oat crops, even if they can’t take delivery now.

“Farmers don’t have to do too much. The buyers are coming to them,” he said. “Quite a few are on the road right now, heading all the way up to La Crete, Alta.”

Strychar said anything that’s not sprouted has a good chance of being categorized as milling quality, at least by later in the winter when stocks are disappearing.

“Anything you can dry down, anything that’s not overly sprouted.… If you have a 3CW that’s stained? On the whole it’s a good oat,” said Strychar.

“It’ll find a market down the road.”

Seitz said the oats feed discount will probably grow with time, especially because oats have recently been relatively stronger than corn and other feed crops. Being on the wrong side of the border will be a problem.

“My concern is that the (feed) price could trend down and the (milling) price trend higher,” said Seitz.

That’s what Brian Voth of AgriTrend Marketing is telling his clients: the spread will get worse for feedquality oats.

“Move low quality grain early, just in case the discounts widen out later on, once harvest is done and once quality is known overall,” said Voth.

Sampling and assessing oats quickly is key this year, with a huge spread at stake.

Strychar said farmers will almost certainly be rewarded for holding high quality oats, but that’s an academic concern at the moment because grain companies and millers aren’t taking new crop anyway.

That will change once the grain companies and railways clear the remainder of the 2013-14 crop and find markets for the 2014-15 crop and its varied quality.

“Grain companies are going to be scrambling for elevations come spring,” said Strychar.

“The railways are going to be looking for business down the road.”

However, until then, farmers need to move feed oats by whatever means possible, many marketers say.

Seitz said local feed users will likely offer the best price because freight isn’t a big cost.

The few cattle offered on the cash market were priced well above packer bids, and a trade standoff developed.

Chicago live cattle futures posted new record highs and the loonie weakened, which meant feedlot asking prices were well supported. However, packers have negative processing margins, making them unwilling to bid higher.

A few live sales were reported Sept. 1 with prices $4-$6 per hundredweight higher than the previous week.

However, total trade volumes were too light to establish a reliable weekly price trend.

CWB | PRIVATIZATION GOALS

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

Time for CWB to outline goals of privatized marketing system

I

t would be good to know what the federal government and the managers of CWB see as the mission of a privatized CWB. Is it simply to have a sustainable business plan and operate in the Canadian grain marketing sector, or should it bring a new business attitude to stand out from the competition?

The Canadian grain marketing sector needs a new dose of competition to deliver on the promise contained in the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act. Eliminating the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly was to cause grain prices to “respond better to market demand, giving farmers the opportunity to achieve the premium prices they deserve,” according to a government backgrounder on the legislation.

But for more than a year the Canadian market has offered nothing close to premium prices.

The rail transportation problem last year caused grain companies to post extra-wide basis levels, dropping Canadian prices well below world levels. The wide basis discouraged delivering into a clogged system but also generated a profit windfall for grain companies.

The rail crisis is now over, but prairie grain prices still lag. American grain elevators offer shockingly high premiums for durum over prices at elevators in Canada.

The marketing freedom act allows farmers to access the U.S. market directly, and some have been able to take advantage of that freedom.

Indeed, the United States, with its higher prices, is increasingly an important market for western Canadian farmers. Seventeen percent of Canadian wheat exports went to the U.S. last crop year, up from 10 percent in 2011-12.

A good portion of that business was farmers selling directly to American buyers.

However, the volume was not enough to arbitrage the two markets, as market freedom proponents anticipated.

Independent analysts can’t identify a reason for Western Canada’s lagging prices today

except for lack of competition and grain companies padding their profits.

The government expected that its marketing freedom act would spark investment and innovation, which would lead to a more competitive Canadian grain market.

There is some investment, in country terminals and port facilities, but not the level of competition that would cause most farmers to call the marketing freedom law a full success.

The government has staked its reputation on addressing competition shortfalls in another sector of the Canadian economy — wireless service — but has failed to encourage a new player to enter the mobile service market.

In the grain sector, through the CWB, the government already has a tool to shake up the status quo.

However, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is mum on his vision of a privatized CWB, preferring to wait for CWB management to present a plan.

CWB has said only that it wants to be a company with some farmer equity operating a network of grain handing facilities.

The Farmers of North America campaign to buy CWB creates the impression of an urgent need to act lest an opportunity be lost.

It is hard to evaluate the FNA proposal as long the CWB’s own plans are so amorphous.

Granted, the CWB’s plan is a work in progress and it can’t be expected to conduct commercial negotiations in public.

As well, it would be best for the federal government to avoid meddling and remain at arm’s length.

However, a broad mission statement about CWB’s goals, its reason for existing, preferably identifying it with service to customers, building its own success through enhancing farmer profits, would provide welcome illumination.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND | LABOUR CRUNCH

P.E.I.’s shortage of young workers bound to worsen as more retire CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

C

HARLOTTETOWN — Drive the red clay roads of rural Prince Edward Island and one cannot help but notice a reoccurring trend.

Everyone you meet in these small communities is in their 50s, at least.

Many are in their 60s, 70s and 80s, their wrinkled hands roughened by years of hard work.

Islanders are aging. It’s a characteristic that’s hard to miss in this quaint collection of villages featuring whitewashed houses surrounded by dusty red fields filled with acres of lush soybean, corn and potato crops.

In the past several years the average age of an islander has jumped to 43.1.

That’s including the young families,

most of whom live in and around Charlottetown, which means the median age in rural communities is even higher.

The rapidly aging population is proving to be both a political and economic challenge. For government it means more strains on provincial resources such as health care and other social services.

Economically, it’s meant a huge labour crunch, an issue that has dominated headlines for years thanks to federal cuts to Employment Insurance and recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Agriculture is P.E.I.’s largest industry, contributing $500 million in farmgate sales annually.

However, finding people to work in the fields, processing plants and other parts of the supply chain isn’t easy, despite an 11 percent unemployment rate.

“Labour is our biggest issue,” John Jamieson, executive director of the P.E.I. Federation of Agriculture, tells a bus full of farm writers as it zips through the countryside.

He said workers are in short supply

for everything from extra hands at harvest time to those needed to work in the processing plants and crop storage facilities year round.

Finding extra workers, or even essential labour, is a mounting challenge for farmers and other stakeholders across the country. P.E.I.’s aging population and the fact most of the work on the island is seasonal only adds to the problem.

Like much of the Maritimes, most of the province’s young people are heading west, drawn to the lucrative wages of the Alberta oilsands.

Jamieson said the lack of young people means older residents are left trying to pick up the slack, often doing jobs that would have been done by younger folks in years past.

For example, he tells me, as we stand in the middle of local cheese shop surrounded by mountains of golden gouda, that last week he got a call about cows that had escaped from their pasture. Everyone chasing them was older than 60.

Then there’s the fact that most work in P.E.I. — be it in tourism, fisheries or agriculture — is seasonal. The short-

age of full-time jobs was heightened recently with the news that McCain’s will close its potato processing plant in Borden at the end of this month with a loss of 121 jobs.

Residents tell me that folks are constantly looking for work.

In recent years, residents had depended on Employment Insurance or the Temporary Foreign Workers Program to fill the voids. However, recent changes by the federal government have made it more difficult to rely on these programs.

Some employees on the island are grateful for the changes to EI because it forces people to look for work on the island year round, which is an attitude shift some admit has been difficult for some folks to accept.

However, most say the EI changes make it hard to retain the same people year after year.

Others say islanders are finding it more difficult to fill the number of weeks they need to qualify for EI, leaving many with no income at all.

As for the Temporar y Foreign Worker Program, the federal government has promised that the Seasonal

Agriculture Worker Program will not be affected. However, fish farms and packing plants that depend on the program for staff are clearly worried.

The staff of at least one operation on the island is made up of 52 percent foreign workers, many of whom, a resident tells me, eventually stay as permanent residents.

Many more have staff lists where 20 to 25 percent of their labour force are temporary foreign workers. This reliance is repeatedly linked to the nature of the work. Much of it is labour intensive, with lots of heavy lifting.

With fewer young people on the island, it is next to impossible to find able-bodied folks willing to do the work, which in a potato packing plant often starts around $11 an hour.

However, increasing those wages isn’t always possible as company margins shrink thanks to soaring freight and other operational costs.

And with more workers taking their retirement, islanders say the labour crunch is only going to get worse.

Peace farmers fight to stop dam project

Are farmers ready for farmer-owned?

BY EMMA GILCHRIST

R

enee Ardill’s grandparents arrived in the Peace River Valley in 1920 with nothing more than a milk cow, saddle horse and team and wagon. They chose a piece of land on the banks of the Peace River, built a cabin, hunted moose and grew what they could.

“They built everything from the ground up,” Ardill said.

“Imagine being able to pick your piece of land and make what you wanted out of it.”

The Ardill family has been here ever since, running a cattle ranch on the banks of the Peace.

However, their days could be numbered if BC Hydro’s Site C hydroelectric dam gets the go-ahead this fall from the provincial and federal governments.

The panel tasked with reviewing the project found BC Hydro failed to prove that the energy from Site C would be needed within the time frame set out in the proposal. The panel’s report, released in May, also found that there are cost-effective alternatives to building a new dam, but the province has failed to adequately investigate options such as geothermal.

If built, the dam will flood 107 kilometres of the Peace River and its tributaries. It will affect 32,000 acres of agricultural land, including flooding 9,400 acres of farmland in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The flooding would put the Ardill’s ranch underwater. Thirty-three other farm operations would also be affected by the project, according to the panel’s report.

“This is the best piece of land in the world. My grandpa picked a good spot, ad I’m damned if I’m going give

British Columbia farmers on this stretch of the Peace River oppose the government’s Site C hydroelectric project. | FILE PHOTO it up,” Ardill said.

However, the joint review panel’s report found that loss of agricultural land would not be significant in the context of British Columbia and western Canadian agricultural production, while acknowledging “this loss would be highly significant to the farmers who would bear the loss, and that financial compensation would not make up for the loss of a highly valued place and way of life.”

Eveline Wolterson, a soil scientist who gave expert testimony during the review process, said the panel missed the point in its analysis by looking at the current use of land, which is largely forage production, instead of land’s potential.

“The reality is that the reason that land is in forage production is because most of it is owned by BC Hydro or it’s in the flood reserve, which means that at any time BC Hydro could expropriate those lands,” Wolterson said. “That has discounted the value of that land, as well as discounted the

amount of money landowners are willing to invest in a piece of property.”

The productivity of the agricultural land in the Peace River Valley is unique not only in the region but in B.C. and Western Canada, Wolterson added.

The David Suzuki Foundation recently released a report looking at the economic benefits of keeping the Peace River region’s remaining farmland and nature intact beyond the market value of agriculture in the region.

The Peace Dividend report found that the ecosystem services, such as providing clean air, clean water, carbon storage and habitat for wildlife, that the Peace River Watershed provides are worth an estimated $7.9 to $8.6 billion a year.

Ken and Arlene Boon, owners of Bear Flats Farm and log home builders, know the value of the valley all too well. They regularly see mule deer, moose, elk, wolves and black and grizzly bears on their land.

The Boons host the annual Paddle for the Peace on their farm, where

they can grow crops as varied as corn and cantaloupes because of the valley’s unique microclimate. If the dam is built, they will lose their best farmland and their home.

In their submission to the panel, the Boons wrote: “As we write this submission, we feel like a prisoner trying to save his life by writing a statement that will hopefully save him from the death penalty.”

The 1,100-megawatt Site C dam has been on the books for 30 years and was turned down by the B.C. Utilities Commission in the 1980s. This time around, the B.C. government has exempted the project from a utilities’ commission review, despite calls from local politicians and the joint review panel for the independent regulator to review the project.

Esther and Poul Pedersen’s 160 acre property is above where the Site C dam would be built and is within the zone that could slough into the reservoir.

Located just five minutes outside of Fort St. John, it’s the perfect place to raise horses and give riding lessons.

“It’s really hard to replace,” Esther said.

“We feel that the valley is precious.”

BC Hydro has proposed a $20 million agricultural compensation program to support projects in the region, in addition to farm mitigation plans for directly affected agricultural operations.

However, as Esther looks out over the Peace River Valley, she, like so many others, said what her family has is irreplaceable.

FINANCING | UNIQUE OPTIONS

Investment financing sparks imaginative thinking HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

H

ere’s an interesting idea for obtaining medium-term financing for farm expan-

sion.

One of the tour stops during the recent Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation conference in Prince Edward Island was at Glasgow Glen Farm, an artisanal cheese business. To raise capital for his business, chef and cookbook author Jeff McCourt has sold cheese futures.

For $1,000, investors receive $1,500 worth of cheese over five years. This comes in two shipments per year, each weighing six kilograms.

The cheese is shipped across Canada and into the United States to about

50 investors, who receive a 50 percent return on their money, which is a lot better than a GIC. Naturally, these are cheese lovers, so most of them also want the satisfaction of helping out a new specialty cheese business. There is always a risk that the business won’t succeed and they won’t receive their cheese repayment, but if you can afford artisan cheese, you can probably afford to risk $1,000.

For Glasgow Glen Farm, it may seem like an expensive source of financing with loans available at such low rates.

However, there’s a limit to how much a new business can borrow.

Plus, the $1,500 worth of cheese has a built-in profit margin, so the actual cost should be considerably less.

McCourt said another benefit is that many of the investors find that they want more than 12 kilograms of cheese per year and buy extra. Plus, after the cheese futures deal has expired, they’ll probably remain loyal customers.

Might this approach be viable for

other types of farm businesses?

Input Capital Corp. of Regina has been offering a similar deal to canola producers for the last couple years.

The specific terms are rather involved and may vary from one producer to the next or at least one year to the next.

However, the premise of the deal is money up front for a set amount of canola going to Input Capital Corp. in subsequent years. A key requirement is professional agronomic advice for the farm operation.

For most producers, regular loans are probably a lower-cost source of financing than this canola streaming deal. However, this deal may be attractive for producers who are rapidly expanding and need money for input costs.

It’s interesting to note that with cheese futures, McCourt has established the terms. With the canola streaming deal, Input Capital Corp. makes the rules.

An individual farmer would probably have little success in getting money up front for the offer of future

grain deliveries. Wide price swings would make it difficult to come up with a reasonable formula, even if you could find an interested buyer.

But it could work in the livestock and forage sector. For example, hay futures might work if the payback from a set investment could be a certain tonnage of hay in future years.

This might also work with replacement heifers or bred heifers, and there might not need to be any money involved. For example, producers looking to expand could take possession of 50 bred heifers with the promise to return 75 bred heifers of similar quality and genetics over the next five years. In this way, an established beef producer could give a helping hand to a young operator. The motivation would go beyond pure business considerations.

Debt financing is typically the first option that comes to mind. With a bit of creativity, other options are possible.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

Taking charge also means taking risks

I

t is all starting to sound like history repeating itself as prairie farmers examine their options to buy the CWB and build fertilizer plants.

In the news recently have been stories of farmer meetings, options to join in collective efforts to market and buy commodities, and questions about the future of grain handling and transportation and what priority the public gives to a grain production system with few competing interests.

I’m not suggesting that Canada got its co-ops and pooling wrong in the first place. Farmers likely should be interested and invested in their logistics and price discovery systems.

Grain pooling, whether through the prairie pools, United Grain Growers or the Canadian Wheat Board, was a way to ensure that farmers were able to access a greater proportion of the margin between cost of production and world price. And the co-ops offered bulk buying-production and price discovery.

The reality was that grain margins were often slim, which made it easy to point fingers or imagine that farmers in the United States or Ontario were being paid more for their crops.

This year it appears they are.

It was often suggested that better, larger or more efficiently located farmers must always have been penalized when it came to pooling, despite the obvious advantages that pooling’s economies of scale were delivering for them. Some things are more apparent than real.

When margins were especially tight, in the 13 years leading up to 2008, it was easy to point fingers at the government-run CWB. That helped make it a target for some politicians, like the publicly held railways before them.

The fact was that the grain companies, including the wheat pools, were making a small but predictable profit on handling and larger margins on non-board crops, fertilizer and other inputs.

It reduced a lot of the risk for grain companies.

Now, those corporations have all the risk and with it any profits they can squeeze from the margins.

Prairie farmers have a long history of working together to improve their economic fortunes and can see where their bread is buttered.

The question is, do they want butter and the risks that come with it?

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

Re: (Agriculture minister) Mr. Gerry Ritz’ letter to the editor, “Looking forward,” July 31, where he thumps his chest and promotes the open market benefits he claims are there. He claims the majority of farmers are looking ahead and not stuck in the past.

However, we remember the past before the Canadian Wheat Board, when the grain companies paid as little as they could get away with and many grain handlers making fortunes from farmers’ efforts and sweat. We see the same thing happening again with no shame shown by the multinational grain brokers.

Mr. Ritz claims the Conservative government had a mandate to eliminate the Canadian Wheat Board with the 2011 election. However, the farming population on the Prairies is only three percent. To the other 97 percent, the Canadian Wheat Board wasn’t even on the table. If they had listened to the farmer vote taken earlier, they would have to admit it was 67 percent in favour of retaining the CWB. The Canadian government stole the assets of western farmers and is continuing to steal more. Every time a farmer sells wheat to the Ritz Board and buys a $5 share per tonne, he is making a donation to the federal government. We know that when the Ritz Board gets sold to the private trade the farmer shares will have no voice

and will go the same way as the original wheat pool shares went when Sask Pool went private.

He claims we get paid faster through the open market. True, but we are getting only a percentage of what we received from the CWB because they gave everything back less operating expenses, and that took a year to play out. However, after the first year the farmers were getting paid for a year’s production every year.

Open marketing is transferring a big part of the Prairies’ economy to multinationals that are international. The wealth isn’t staying on the Prairies.

The Conservative government is made up of non-farmers, Gerry Ritz excepted, who is an ex-ostrich farmer, that have no stake in farming and

ADDRESS VOTER APATHY To the Editor: The first thing people managing elections need to do is change the way they think from “what ought to be” to “what is.”

They want instant information at their fingertips, instant communications, fast forwarding, fast food, phoneahead take out, remote controls, quick cash, high-speed lanes, GPS and microwaved meals.

They want to immediately know what their choices are and if they vote, they want to vote immediately.

That’s reality.

Saying something like, “it’s your responsibility to vote,” when that implies an out-of-touch time-consuming bothersome process, just doesn’t cut it. Saying “voting is quick and easy,” will certainly help. Maybe we need drive-through polls?

W. C. Fields’ line, “never give a sucker an even break, or smarten up a chump” has never been better executed than by the Conservative government and their farmer-disenfranchisement policies.

Their first move upon election in 2006 was to tear up the farmer-rail car agreement. This agreement would have given farmers a place at the grain transportation table, and while it wouldn’t have solved all the marketing problems from last year, it would have at least given farmers a look behind the curtain.

This move was followed by taking away the community pasture network that farmers have relied on for decades, destroying the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) and the tree nursery, vaporizing the support that farmers had through the margin based Agristability program and weakening the Canadian Grain Commission.

In parallel was the defunding and destruction of the grain varietal development and research capacity, and this at a time when the world’s population has never been higher and the climate has increasing variability.

Decimation of the Canadian Wheat Board was next: farmers were disenfranchised and not allowed to vote on the matter according to the existing law, taxpayers were billed an unnecessary $349 million in 2011 and the $16 billion world leading exporter was reduced from a business to a political maneuver with a few hundred million in assets.

OPINION

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

Predictably, the destruction of orderly marketing through the real CWB cost farmers $4 billion in lost income for the 2013 crop, money that ended up in grain company pockets, lost sales and demurrage charges, and the government now refuses to publish any financial reports for the Ritz-run CWB since 2012.

With financial cover-ups and fasttracking the give-away of farmerpaid CWB assets, it looks like the government is trying to bury a dead skunk as fast as they can.

An agriculture minister from Ontario or B.C. could not have accomplished this much destruction. No, the minister had to be a short-term thinker from the Prairies where Conservative votes could be taken for granted.

Somewhere, W. C. Fields is feeling warm and fuzzy all over again.

LOGISTICS | NORTHGATE, SASK.

$70M needed for Sask. transportation project Investors sought | Toronto-based Ceres Global Ag Corp. has already set up a temporary grain handling facility

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Toronto company that plans to build a $90 million transportation and logistics hub at Northgate, Sask., near the U.S. border is looking for investors’ help to pay for the project.

Ceres Global Ag Corp. announced Sept. 29 that it intends to raise $70 million through a rights offering.

It is open to investors who already hold shares in the company and, according to Ceres, is backstopped by a pair of investors that will ensure

the $70 million offer is fully subscribed.

Ceres officials said the financing plan, which still requires regulatory approval, will offer Ceres shares at $5.98 per unit, a 15 percent discount on the Sept. 26 closing price of $7.04 per share.

In addition, an existing bridge loan valued at US$20 million will be replaced with a new five-year senior secured loan valued at $30 million.

Together, the rights offering and the loan will allow the company to proceed with construction of the transportation

hub, which will include grain handling facilities, oils transloading infrastructure and a 120 car train loop.

“These financing proposals are critical milestones for Ceres as it ramps up the construction and development of Northgate,” Ceres president Patrick Bracken said in a news release.

“They will provide the needed capital for the construction of the remaining rail infrastructure as well as the temporary and permanent grain transload facilities at Northgate.”

Ceres announced plans to build the

Northgate facility early last year.

It initially said it would build the facility in partnership with U.S. grain company Scoular, which owns grain handling facilities and has commodity sales programs worth more than $6 billion per year.

However, Ceres announced early this year that it had terminated its partnership agreement with Scoular and would build the facility on its own, in consultation with Ceres’ subsidiary company Riverland Ag Corp.

Riverland owns and operates 10 grain storage and handling facilities

in Minnesota, New York, Wisconsin and Ontario, and has total storage capacity of 51 million bushels.

Ceres board chair Doug Speers said the company has already completed the rail loop at Northgate and has connected it with a spur line owned by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway.

The BNSF connection provides a direct rail link to American markets.

BNSF operates in 28 American states and has a 50,000 kilometre rail network with access to Pacific and Gulf of Mexico port facilities.

Ceres has also set up a temporary grain handling facility at Northgate.

The temporary facility, which consists of two 2,000 bu. steel storage bins, will begin taking grain deliveries later this month, Speers said.

Northgate’s first shipments of Canadian grain will likely be moved to the U.S. in late October, he added.

The temporary facility will allow the company to transport grain while a permanent grain elevator is built.

The permanent facility, which is a high-throughput concrete facility, will cost $42 million to build and should be operational in 2016, Speers said.

Contracts for construction of that facility are already in place and groundwork has begun.

“The board of Ceres has approved construction of a $42 million grain elevator that will allow us to load shuttle trains of 110 or 120 cars,” Speers said.

“Obviously, that’s going to take a while to build … so in the meantime, we started a number of months ago to build a temporary grain loading facility and … that facility will be ready to load grain by mid-October.”

Speers said a general manager has been hired to oversee operation at the temporary facility. Offers to buy grain should be in place shortly.

He said Ceres has an agreement with BNSF to supply up to 72 rail cars per week once the grain program at Northgate hits full stride.

Strong U.S. dollar, buyer complacency weigh on grain prices MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Importers are waiting for the American dollar to drop

A

s much as 100 millimetres of rain in the southern U.S. Midwest this week are delaying harvest and providing the

f i r s t s i g n i f i c a nt ma rk e t l i f t i n months. If the weather continues wet — and the U.S. weather service predicts more moisture than normal in October in the Midwest — it might shake complacent buyers from their expectation that prices will continue to fall.

We’ve noted before on these pages that the strong U.S. dollar is, along with the expectation of a record large crop, keeping downward pressure on U.S. grain prices.

An expensive dollar encourages buyers to avoid the United States and turn to suppliers that have weak currencies.

The positive U.S. monthly jobs report Oct. 3, which dropped the

unemployment rate .2 of a percentage point to 5.9 percent, which is the lowest level in six years, gave more support to the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. Federal Reserve closely watches employment metrics as it times its transition from a stimulus policy to a more neutral stance.

A continuing drop in unemployment supports the idea that the Fed will increase interest rates next year to prevent the economy from overheating.

Meanwhile, central banks in Europe and Japan are moving toward stimulus to spark life in their moribund economies.

The prospect of better interest returns in the U.S. attracts capital to the

American buck and lifts its value.

We’ve seen the Canadian dollar fall below US 90 cents, and it will likely stay there well into next year.

The weakness of the loonie against the U.S. buck is good news for Canadian livestock producers.

Cattle and hog prices are at or near record highs already, and the strong U.S. buck makes Canadian livestock seem cheap for American buyers.

Sales made in U.S. currency net more loonies in Canadian producers’ pockets.

But on the grain side, the weak loonie isn’t fully offsetting the damage the strong U.S. currency has on grain prices.

Canola has been falling almost in

lock step with soybeans and soy oil, even as the loonie weakened.

Strong demand is needed to really get grain prices off these lows.

Importers have not been aggressive because of the strong American dollar and because there was no point buying when the price would likely be cheaper the following week.

There is no sign that the U.S. buck will ease off, but this week’s price bump from the harvest delay might shake buyers from their complacency.

Let’s hope that triggers larger exports.

Most consumers willing to accept irradiated food, says advocate

A SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH IN EVERY SEED When it comes to trait technology, you’re looking for leadership and innovation. Hyland™ Seeds is powered by Dow AgroSciences outstanding research and development. Balance that with exemplary customer service and you have a combination of performance and profitability that is pure genius.

Four products have waited 15 years for approval

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Irradiated food should be a matter of consumer choice, says an advocate for the technology.

Ruth Brinston has spent her career studying and promoting the benefits of radiation processing for food and sterilizing medical supplies. As president of Biovive Consulting, which specializes in irradiation technology, she believes using a controlled amount of energy called ionizing radiation to kill food pathogens could have huge benefits to society.

It is a well established process that could kill all the E. coli 0157:H7 found in ground beef, but she understands some people will not accept it.

“There is a core group of 10 or 12 percent that will never, ever accept irradiated food,” she told a Canadian Meat Council symposium on food safety held in Toronto Oct. 2-3.

“Food has an emotional attachment for people,” she said.

Irradiation is a cold process and does not make food radioactive.

Research shows it does not alter food appearance, taste or texture.

Groups such as the meat council and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Assoc i a t i o n h av e l o b b i e d t o g e t i t approved with discussions going back to 1998.

The most recent round of submissions for approval went to Health Canada in the spring of 2013. The department said it was reviewing scientific information, and its website said it had completed reviewing four products.

Mangoes, poultry, shrimp and ground beef were being considered, but no approval is forthcoming.

“At this point we are not certain, and it may be that the timeline for approval, which already exceeds 15 years, will be further extended,” said Mark Klassen of the CC A in an email.

EGG PRODUCTION RESEARCH | IMPACT OF MUSIC

Mellow music puts hens in the mood for laying Happy Egg Co. creates CD | Research shows that hens prefer to lay eggs in nests where classical music is playing

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Bristol found that hens seem to prefer classical music when laying eggs.

The study was commissioned on a whim, says Alex Sheehan from Happy Egg Co., just to see if there were any positive benefits.

“We wanted to see if it would help them feel more comfortable or produce more eggs.”

Isabelle Pettersson from the University of Bristol said the impact

music has on farm animals has been noted, but not specifically about hens and their musical tastes.

“We decided to investigate this further and find out whether music has a positive impact on hens, whether they have a preference for certain types of music, and also how it affects their laying habits.”

Classical, pop and rock were selected for the nest boxes, while the fourth had no music so researchers could see the hens’ behaviour and compare the reactions.

The music was played at varying periods during the day. Researchers

visited the farm weekly over an eightweek period to collect data and ensure the investigation was running smoothly.

The hens did not lay more eggs overall, but they made more frequent visits to nest boxes where classical music was playing . Results revealed six percent more eggs laid in those boxes compared to the nest boxes playing songs by One Direction.

“Hens are sensitive to noise,” said Sheehan. “I don’t want to bash the artists, I like some of them, but classical music is just more soothing. It’s not as disruptive or loud.”

Added Pettersson: “We are keen to research in more detail about whether this finding continues to be seen over time and what exactly the hens were doing in these prolonged visits in the nest boxes playing music.”

The results prompted Happy Egg Co. to make a CD just for hens. Top of the Flocks was composed by British composer Jack Ketch and has three tracks. The CD is available on SoundCloud to download, but it will mainly be used by Happy Egg Co. “We don’t think there are many egg producers that are doing this or are interested in using it, but we’ve put it

Diane Riding was planning to check her hayland on the weekend, but just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“You get a little discouraged when you get out and look,” said Riding, a rancher who owns and rents land beside Lake Francis, which is attached to Lake Manitoba.

“I kept telling myself that the weather might get nice again and we might get out there, but I think we’re done for the year.”

As Riding spoke, 70 km-h winds whipped the lakes’ surface, causing surges that flooded land along the shoreline while taking water away from others.

The lake is still at flood level after huge amounts were transferred into it via the Portage Diversion from the Assiniboine River.

Massive amounts of water shift from one side to the other when sustained high winds hit the lake, exacerbating the situation for already flood-weary farmers.

That’s what Riding has faced since 2011, when the diversion caused the first big flooding of the lake.

The quarter section of pasture she owned on the lake as well a rented quarter were flooded and saturated that year and produced no hay.

The crown land would normally have produced 200 to 250 bales.

Production was OK on her owned pasture the following year, but the crown land yielded only 17 bales.

Yields increased to 34 last year, and her neighbours joked that production might increase to 100 bales this year.

Everything looked good until the diversion started pumping water into Lake Manitoba after the late Juneearly July rainstorm. Water levels rose and delayed and killed the vegetative growth on the pastures.

“Now there’s nothing,” said Riding.

Farther north along the shoreline, Siglunes farmer Arnthor Jonasson is luckier. The high winds are forcing the water south, away from his flooded pasture and hayland.

However, it’s too late for grass to start growing on his wrecked land.

“We’re done for the year,” he said.

he world continues to move onto smartphones, and the i Hu n t e r a p p i s o n e s u c h advancement that has impressed me.

The app, which is available for Android, Apple and BlackBerry cellphones, is an excellent tool that helps a hunter understand wildlife management zones and hunting seasons and navigate and manage waypoints.

IHunter updates its data annually from official government sources from British Columbia to New Brunswick. New provinces and states also seem to be in development.

The app provides updated borders for wildlife zones and their individual hunting seasons. Hunters can easily plan their next trip with a few taps of their smartphone screen.

IHunter can also be used in the field to help navigate, as long as the mobile device can obtain a GPS signal. It provides overhead mapping of your position, creates and manages waypoints and emails or texts your exact location to your contacts.

Creating waypoints in the app is an excellent way to track camp and vehicle locations, game sign, bait and trail cameras and successful kills.

The ability to share your location with your emergency contacts at any time is a good security measure in case of a problem in the field.

The sunrise-sunset calculator is a useful feature because some hunting periods are regulated by when the sun will rise or set. Knowing to the minute when you can legally hunt maximizes your time in the field.

Hunters who prefer to keep their secrets to themselves will be happy to know that iHunter does not share information without your permission.

A marked waypoint remains private to your mobile device unless you decide share it.

A GPS is not a replacement for a good compass and map, but it is a good tool to bring into the wilderness. A GPS enhanced by the iHunter app is even better.

HUNTING SEASON | ACROSS THE PRAIRIES

Fewer hunting licences, shorter season as deer populations decline Weather, disease take toll | Chronic wasting disease reduced deer numbers in some areas of Alberta

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

White-tailed and mule deer populations are declining across much of the Prairies.

An estimated 49 percent decrease in white-tailed deer numbers in Sask-

atchewan has prompted the government to change the length of the hunting season, while mule deer numbers have dropped to 22,000 from 43,000 in 2001.

Several severe winters in the province have been blamed for the dwindling numbers.

Hunting season dates vary between prairie provinces, depending on the area, type of deer and weapon being used. | FILE PHOTO Alberta’s deer populations remain normal, but the numbers vary by region. White-tailed deer populations remain lower north and east of Edmonton because of bad winters. As a result, the number of licenses in that area is different than in other zones.

Chronic wasting disease has also affected deer populations in Alberta, particularly in parts of eastern Alberta, such as Cold Lake and Drumheller.

Hunters in those regions are asked to submit deer heads to Alberta Fish and Wildlife for testing.

Manitoba has also seen a whitetailed deer decrease because of harsh winters. Exact numbers aren’t known, but the estimate is around 100,000. An aerial survey will be conducted this winter to determine the exact status.

The population decreases will affect this year’s hunting season.

In Saskatchewan, the season dates, harvest structure, quotas and bag limits have been changed.

Hunters may kill white-tailed deer of either sex, but the seasons for archery, crossbow, muzzleloader, shotgun and rifle hunting in the farmland zones have been shortened. Seasons in the provincial forest and forest fringe areas remain unchanged.

Open seasons for antlerless whitetailed deer will be offered in the city zones of Saskatoon and Prince Albert for Saskatchewan residents.

Mule deer quotas have been reduced. Regular archery hunting seasons continue in those zones with an either-sex quota greater than 50 licenses, but the season will be short-

ened to align it with the white-tailed deer archery season.

Antlerless mule deer quotas have also been lowered. Zones with quotas of 50 or fewer will now have a bag limit of one antlerless deer to allow the opportunity for more hunters while maintaining a similar harvest.

Zones with a quota of more than 50 will remain at a bag limit of two.

Hunters who are selected for a zone with a bag limit of two will be able to buy both a first antlerless mule deer license and a second antlerless deer license for $19.62.

Alberta’s hunting seasons remain similar to past seasons except for closures in the area north and east of Edmonton. The big changes this year are mainly focused around elk.

There are draws for antlered and antlerless mule and white-tailed deer. There are also special draws for bow hunters, which are an increasing presence in Alberta.

Approximately 11,470 special licenses are available for antlered mule deer and 16,968 for antlerless.

Antlerless white-tailed deer have around 5,197 licenses available and 360 for antlered.

In Manitoba, hunters can buy one only general deer license. The bag limit is one antlered deer.

A resident may buy only one license, which is valid during the archery, muzzleloader, shotgun and rifle seasons. Second and third deer licenses are available in certain areas.

After the license is used for its one deer, the hunter can go hunting again only in a two-person hunting party.

MULE DEER OR WHITE-TAILED? • A mule deer’s rump has a very large patch of white, partly covered by a thin, white tail with a black tip.

• White-tailed deer have a narrow white patch on the rump. They alert others of danger by raising their tails so their thick, dark tail acts as a warning flag.

The limit had previously been for parties of four, but this is no longer considered possible because of the population drop.

Hunting season dates for all three provinces vary depending on the zone, type of deer and weapon. In Saskatchewan, the first official date was Sept. 1 for both white-tailed and mule deer. White-tailed hunting season ends Dec. 2 and mule deer can be hunted until Dec. 7.

Alberta’s start date was Sept. 17 and goes until late November with a few seasons going until Dec. 20.

The earliest start date for Manitoba was Aug. 25 for white-tailed deer. The final date for hunting is Dec. 21.

A second deer season lasts only until Dec. 1 and is only available in some areas where the government is trying to reduce deer numbers.

A third deer season is only for three zones with the bag limit being one antlerless deer. It ends Dec. 21 and is mainly being done in areas where the government is trying to increase the moose population.

CLIMATE CHANGE | GREENHOUSE GAS

California drought linked to greenhouse gases When you recycle used oil, filters and antifreeze you keep our water, my water safe. Used antifreeze is toxic and just one litre of used oil can contaminate one million litres of water.

And when you recycle their containers, plus DEF containers, you keep tonnes of unwanted waste out of our backyards and landfills.

So I thank you, my wife and two thousand kids thank you, as does Mother Nature.

usedoilrecyclingsk.com Saskatchewan Association for Resource Recovery Corp.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (Reuters) — California’s catastrophic drought has most likely been made worse by man-made climate change, according to a report released by Stanford University.

However, scientists are still hesitant to fully blame the lack of rain on climate change.

The research, published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society as part of a collection of reports on extreme weather events last year, is one of the most comprehensive studies linking climate change and California’s ongoing drought, which has caused billions of dollars in economic damage.

The report found that high-pressure ridges like the one that stubbornly parked itself over the Pacific Ocean for the past two winters and blocked storms from hitting California, are much more likely to form in

the presence of man-made greenhouse gases.

The ridge, dubbed the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge by researchers, or “Triple R,” parched the state during the past two rainy seasons.

“You can visualize it as a fairly large boulder in a small stream,” said Daniel Swain, a lead author on the report, which said the phenomenon has caused storms to bypass not only California but also Oregon and Washington, pushing rain as far north as the Arctic Circle.

Using climate model simulations, researchers found “Triple-R” events are three times more likely to occur today than in preindustrial climates.

Scientists also determined that severe droughts could become more frequent as long as high levels of greenhouse gases remain.

“California is more likely to see these episodes in the near term,” said

environmental scientist Noah Diffenbaugh, who led the study.

Despite the findings, Thomas Peterson, principal scientist at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climactic Data Center and one of the report’s editors, said it is still hard to definitively link rainfall to climate change.

“There is so much variability in rainfall,” Peterson said. “Finding a signal and attributing how much of the signal is climate change is difficult.”

Marty Hoerling, a NOAA research meteorologist, said atmospheric pressure has increased everywhere because of global warming, so systems need to be studied in that context.

“It’s not the pressure, per se, that determines which way the storms will move,” he said. “But it’s the difference of how the pressure changes from one location relative to another.”

UKRAINIAN CHURCHES | ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

Parishioners don paint for heavenly results Dedicated volunteers | The 75-year-old Ukrainian church in Vilna, Alta., was one of three in the area given a facelift

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

VILNA, Alta. — The Vilna Ukrainian Catholic Church is getting a fresh coat of paint for its 75th birthday.

The 19 parishioners, with only five living near this Alberta village, have pooled their money and are seeking donations to help pay the $17,000 painting bill that they hope will keep the church from falling into disrepair.

Parishioner Alec Barabash, 73, said the anniversary of the church was a good excuse to paint the faded exterior.

“The 75th is coming up so we figured we better do something about it,” said Barabash.

Several years ago, the parishioners hired a contractor to re-side the church. The contractor tacked wide boards over the narrow cedar siding.

The wide boards disqualified the church from being designated as a heritage building and access to grants to help pay for the repairs.

Unknown to the parishioners, the boards were only primed and quickly began to weather. By the time the parishioners noticed, the contractor had disappeared.

Painter Toby Neuendorf of Wetaskiwin, Alta., said the siding is in remarkable shape for never having been painted.

The boards must be scraped, repaired, primed and painted, including the metal domed roof, a common architectural feature of Ukrainian churches.

“With only five parishioners, keeping up the church is a whole financial burden,” said Neuendorf.

Built in 1939, the church was originally the Vilna Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and later became the Vilna Ukrainian Catholic Church. It’s one of three active and two closed churches in Vilna, population 290.

Barabash said there are five services held each year at the church. There hasn’t been a wedding for some time, but there is the occasional baptism, he said.

A service to mark the anniversary will be held in the church Oct. 25 with a service at 10 a.m. and a banquet at nearby Stry Catholic Hall.

Neuendorf has spent several weeks in the area painting the Vilna church, the Ukrainian Catholic Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in nearby Spedden, Alta.

“These parishioners must be so dedicated,” said Neuendorf.

Fred Matwychuk of Spedden said they are also trying to fix up their church. Some windows and trim have not been painted since it was built.

The original church was built in 1941

and burned in 1958, likely from candles burning in the church. Construction of the existing church began in 1958 and was completed in 1962.

“We’re sprucing it up so it looks a little better,” said Matwychuk.

Services are held about 10 times a year, he said.

PERFECTIONIST | ATTITUDE

Borderline Perfectionism based on illusion, excellence on reality A: SPEAKING OF LIFE diabetes HEALTH CLINIC JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

What is borderline diabetes?

Should I be concerned? I am slightly overweight for my height, but most people would not consider me fat. The doctor says I do not need to take pills or insulin as long as I watch my diet and lose some weight. I walk the dog every day, but I do have high blood pressure controlled with pills and diabetes does run in my family. I am 55 years old and female.

Q:

My mother was a perfectionist, my grandmother was a perfectionist and I am a perfectionist. We seem to have some kind of genetic code running through our family.

Are we and our offspring stuck here or can we do something about it to change the cycle powering its way through our entire family?

A:

Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

Perfectionism is not generally recognized as an inherited trait. It is a learned phenomenon. If it runs in the women in the family, it means they are terrific teachers.

Unfortunately, they are teaching the wrong things.

What could be inherited is a propensity toward anxiety. All of us have our moments of anxiety, but some people seem to live in anxiety. They are so worried about what might happen in the future they are unable to appreciate whatever is going on in the present.

Some people choose to resolve anxiety by trying to make the world perfect, removing any chance for surprises or the unexpected. That is impossible. We survive by struggling

through catastrophes, not by eliminating them.

If members of your family are driven toward perfectionism because of anxiety, it should be tackled head on.

Talk to your physician about appropriate medication and referrals to a mental health counsellor. That may help resolve the cycle in which your family appears to be caught.

Before you get too concerned, be sure that it is perfectionism you are dealing with. Some people strive for excellence. Others struggle for perfectionism. They are not the same.

People who are reaching for excellence have clear goals. Their goals might be high but they are at least concrete.

People in search of perfectionism

do not have the same clarity guiding them. Perfection is an illusion. We are imperfect beings living in an imperfect world.

To suggest that you are struggling to build a perfect world is to suggest that you do not have realistic or reasonable goals. If indeed you are a perfectionist, one suggestion is to write out some realistic, clearly defined goals for yourself.

You might want to include your mom and grandmother in this exercise and to make some real steps forward in removing perfectionism from your family.

Borderline diabetes or prediabetes, as it is known in the medical world, is almost always a precursor to the development of Type 2 diabetes. It is defined by higher than normal blood sugar levels, but not quite high enough to be considered full-blown diabetes.

Your fasting blood sugar test results are probably between 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L, your oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) result is between 7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L two hours after the beginning of the test or your hemoglobin A1c is six to 6.4 percent.

Most cases of pre-diabetes are a result of obesity, a condition becoming increasingly common in Canada and the U.S. Recent estimates indicate that as many as one in three British people may have this problem.

In your case, heredity may be the main factor, compounded by being slightly overweight for your height.

Hypertension is also a risk factor.

Are you taking cholesterol lowering medications? Higher dosages of drugs such as Lipitor or Crestor can increase a person’s risk of diabetes.

You are diagnosed as having fullblown diabetes if your fasting blood sugar levels are higher than seven mmol/L on two consecutive occasions and if you also have symptoms of the disease.

You may also have a random,not fasting, blood glucose level of more than 11 mmol/L twice in a row. The common symptoms of diabetes are unexplained weight loss, being thirsty all the time, urinating frequently and being prone to infections affecting skin or bladder infections. You may also have blurred vision.

Despite these signs and symptoms, many people are unaware that they may have diabetes and it is only discovered on a routine checkup.

Treatment of pre-diabetes aims to prevent it from becoming Type 2 diabetes while lowering your risk of an associated heart attack and stroke.

It involves eating healthy foods, losing five to 10 percent of your current weight and exercising regularly.

Keep a food diary so that you are aware of exactly how much you are eating and drinking.

For most people, cutting out 500 calories a day will lead to a weight loss of one pound each week.

FALL CLEANUP | WATERING, MAINTENANCE

Mulch, styrofoam protect plants from winter kill, disease IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

O

ctober is here so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put the garden to bed for the long winter ahead. Besides last minute watering, weeding and cleanup and storing tools and accessories, attention must be given to adequately protect plants so that they come through the winter well.

It is a good idea to protect both hardy plants and more tender specimens.

Although many gardeners clean off their perennial borders and cut back hardy roses in the fall, if you have experienced a lot of winter kill in the past, you might consider postponing this task until spring.

The old foliage will add protection to the plant roots and catch snow to ensure good snow cover.

The old stems will also trap leaves as they blow about in the fall, adding more protection. Some gardeners mulch their perennial borders with six centimetres of dead leaves each fall.

Just before freeze-up, water perennials, trees and shrubs well. Plants will survive the winter better if their

root balls are moist instead of dry.

This is particularly important for evergreens, which continue to transpire moisture all winter and need a good supply of moisture at their roots.

Try to add mulches after you water, not before, because wet mulch has far less insulating value than dry mulch. Mulches often can be kept dry by applying them late enough in the fall that precipitation falls as snow rather than rain. Early snow, however, often melts on a sunny autumn day and soaks the mulch.

Mulches such as dry leaves and peat moss can be kept dry by covering them with a waterproof cover such as plastic or Styrofoam. When applying the cover, ensure that there is some air circulation by leaving a gap around the bottom to let air in but keep rain out.

Tea roses, hydrangeas and other tender plants can be covered with mulch and then Styrofoam cones.

They offer insulating value and keep the mulch inside them dry.

Before applying mulch, many gardeners pour dry soil over the plants.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make the mistake of simply raking surrounding soil up onto the plants as this will decrease the soil cover over the plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots and lessen their chance of survival.

If you have evergreen shrubs with a southern exposure or planted against a wall that reflects a lot of sunlight, consider erecting burlap barriers to block the rays of the sun.

Compost is spread and the vegetable garden is ready for tilling. The top growth on the perennial bed will be left until spring. Oriental lilies will be covered with soil and leaves closer to freeze-up. | ALBERT PARSON PHOTOS The burlap should be fastened securely to sturdy stakes and not touch the foliage.

Make sure the barriers are high enough to protect the tops of the shrubs from the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays. Keep them in place until after the snow has melted and the soil has thawed.

To protect my Oriental lilies, which are planted in a square patch to facilitate easy protection, I put on

about 15 centimetres of dry soil (I use compost) and then I cover that with about 40 cm of dry leaves. Over this, I place a piece of heavy plastic tied down around the edge to allow some air to get under it to prevent moisture buildup.

Last year, I streamlined the process by putting the leaves inside a large plastic mattress bag and placing the bag on top of the compost.

I guessed enough air could get under the bag to prevent moisture buildup. You too will devise methods of protecting your plants that are both simple and effective, but be sure to do this job before freeze-up and before the snow comes to stay.

Mickey Ireland of Stormy Acres Ranch near Swanson, Sask., says it is important to match a rider’s experience with the quality of bull so the rider doesn’t get discouraged. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTOS Mickey,left, Cassidy, Brody and Shelley watch as a miniature bull is trained using a bucking dummy attached to its back.

ON FARM | MINIATURES

Farm’s small bulls give new riders stepping stone Confidence builder | Inexperienced bull riders gain skills on miniature bulls before moving up to bigger animals

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SWANSON, Sask. — Going small has been a going concern for Mickey and Shelley Ireland.

For more than eight years, the husband and wife team have contracted their miniature bucking bulls at rodeo events throughout Western Canada.

Their goal is to help fill what they see as a growing void at amateur rodeos: smaller bulls for young bull riders build their skills and confidence.

The Irelands say too often many junior riders’ only choice has been the much heavier, more powerful bred-to-buck rank bulls.

“It’s getting on the stock to suit the rider, not just running whatever’s in the chute underneath him and lets hope this kid makes out good,” said Shelley.

At the Stormy Acre Ranch Mini Cattle Co. near Swanson, they carefully breed miniature bucking stock that now number 125 animals. They also have a herd of miniature commercial cattle along with regular commercial cattle and bucking stock.

As well, Mickey operates his own commercial truck hauling business and Shelley drives school bus in Delisle. Their children are Levi, 25, Lindsey, 22, Santana, 21, Shayanne, 20, Cassidy, 6 and Brody, 4.

The couple’s main concern is trying to match the rider’s level of experience to the quality of bull so that young riders want to continue to perform another day, even after being bucked off.

“If they don’t learn from the start to ride properly on the smaller stuff that is the weaker calibre, then we’re Xing all these kids out. Your bull riders are going to diminish immensely,” said Shelley.

Added Mickey: “You don’t want to take it out of these guys (bull riders), and this is what’s happening. There’s no control at that end. They’re (contractors) throwing them on what they shouldn’t be getting on.”

Mickey said there’s a growing awareness in the industry about the lack of up-and-coming riders to take on the high quality bulls. Like other sports, advancing as a bull rider to tougher stock needs to be gradual.

“The stock is providing the stepping stone to the next level,” he said.

Mickey should know, having spent many years riding bulls in the United States and Canada with the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association.

He said there were many years when he competed in more than 100 rodeos a year before retiring at 40.

“I wanted to go until I was 50, that was my goal. Didn’t quite make it.

Part of it was the body. I was tired of being sore. I went 25 years of being sore,” he said.

The Irelands met at rodeos in Alberta and Saskatchewan as teenagers. Mickey rode steers while Shelley barrel raced.

Her grandfather, Richard Smith, entertained for many years as a rodeo clown, while her father, Corey Smith of High Five Rodeo, managed stock.

“She was the contractor’s daughter,” Mickey said. “Rodeos back then used to be a family thing. We rode every weekend.”

Added Shelley: “That’s all we’ve ever known.”

Mickey saw his first miniature bull at a PBR rodeo in Billings, Montana, in 2003 “When I saw that, I thought that was just the coolest thing. There were about half a dozen kids that came out and got on these things during intermission. The crowd loved it,” he said.

“The original thought in my mind was: ‘man, if I could have had these when I was young.’ ” Building skills and self-confidence for the next generation of bull riders comes with its own rewards. The Irelands were recently contracted by Cliff Willick for a Kakeyow Cowboys Rodeo Association event in Martensville, Sask. They took 24 miniature bulls.

“We had one fellow this weekend.

He got bucked off twice and he come to me afterwards and said, ‘even though I got bucked off, that was the

best feeling in the world because I was getting on stuff that I know I should be able to ride,’ ” said Shelley.

“Another parent came up to me.

Their son actually rides CCA (Cana-

dian Cowboy Association). He has been getting thrown off. He hasn’t made the (eight second) whistle and they came up to me and gave me a big hug and said, ‘thank you, that was his

confidence builder.’ That’s the satisfaction of it for us. It’s not about the money. It’s seeing the positive feedback that you get from those kids and those parents.”

WEST AFRICA | DISEASE THREAT

Hunger threat wreaks havoc on farming, shadows ebola FREETOWN/DAKAR (Reuters) — The threat of hunger is tracking ebola across affected West African nations as the disease kills farmers and their families, drives workers from the fields and creates food shortages.

In the worst-hit countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, ebola is ravaging their food-producing regions, preventing planting and harvesting and disrupting supply routes and markets.

“Hunger will kill us where ebola failed,” said Pa Sorie, a rice and cassava farmer in Port Loko in northern Sierra Leone.

A father of six with four grandchildren, he said he has already lost three close relatives to ebola.

The United Nations’ World Food Programme and Food and Agriculture Organization say border and market closures, quarantines and movement restrictions and widespread fear of ebola have led to food scarcity, panic buying and price increases, especially in Sierra Leone and Liberia.

The hemorrhagic fever has killed 3,338 people since it was first reported in the forest region of Guinea in March.

It crossed into Liberia and Sierra Leone and has triggered smaller outbreaks and cases in Nigeria, Senegal and even the United States, prompting the World Health Organization to declare an international public health emergency Aug. 8.

Foreign governments are sending troops and medics to Africa in an attempt to contain the epidemic, while relief agencies scramble to ward off the humanitarian crisis threatening hundreds of thousands along with the health disaster.

“The country will starve,” warned Mary Hawa John-Sao, vice-president of Sierra Leone’s National Farmers’ Federation and an award-winning grower.

Her own fields were lying unattended and spoiling in the quarantined Kailahun district, which along with neighbouring Kenema in the east and Port Loko and Bombali in the north are the country’s traditional food-growing areas.

John-Sao said 75 percent of those killed by ebola in Kailahun and Kenema were farmers and hunger was imminent.

The World Food Programme is trying to provide food to one million people in the three worst-affected countries. As of Sept. 14, it had distributed 3,300 tonnes of food to more than 180,000 people in the three nations in a race against hunger.

Sierra Leone agriculture minister Sam Sesay said entire farming communities in some parts of his country had been wiped out by ebola, with farms abandoned and crops left rotting.

His Liberian counterpart, Florence Chenoweth, described a similar situation in rural Lofa county.

UN officials have heeded the warning, saying governments must focus not just on containing ebola but also on the social and developmental damage the disease is inflicting on some of the world’s poorest states, still recovering from civil wars.

“The fertile fields of Lofa county, once Liberia’s breadbasket, are now fallow. In that county alone, nearly 170 farmers and their family members have died from ebola,” WHO director general Margaret Chan told

the UN Security Council last month.

Ironically, the measures taken by the Sierra Leone and Liberian governments to try to halt the spread of ebola, which is passed on by contact with the bodily fluids of infected persons, have worsened the disruption to farming.

Both countries placed military-

enforced quarantines on their worstaffected rural areas, restricting movement in and out.

Five of Sierra Leone’s 14 districts were quarantined as of early October and the government last month shut down the entire country for three days, restricting all movements in a bid to staunch the relentless pace of

ebola infection.

Ahmed Nanoh, head of Sierra Leone’s agribusiness chamber, urged the government to loosen the quarantines because they prevented farmers from reaching outlying fields to till and harvest staple crops of rice, cassava, corn and millet.

hectares (25 acres) can no longer cultivate even two hectares due to the impact of ebola,” Nanoh said.

About 65 percent of Sierra Leone’s six million people depend on agriculture, which represents about 40 percent of the national economy, so the ebola emergency and its impact on farming are already dragging

climb because of shortages.

Liberia could experience an even worse decline, with the International Monetary Fund forecasting a fall in GDP to 2.1 percent from six percent projected earlier.

The ebola impact is wrecking rural farming areas in Liberia and Sierra Leone, which are still recuperating

from the civil wars of the 1990s that also drove farmers from the fields and devastated rural communities.

Liberian commerce minister Axel Addy said the government was negotiating with importers to try to ensure the country had three months’ supply of rice.

Six million tonnes of rice are con-

sumed annually, but importers were also complaining of rising costs because insurance premiums on vessels bringing cargo to Liberian ports had increased due to fears of ebola.

And for many, the food aid may not arrive in time to stave off shortages that are growing by the day.

Wheat group hopes USDA report calms GM concerns (Reuters) — Japan and South Korea continue to test the U.S. wheat they buy to make sure it is not contaminated with an experimental version developed by Monsanto, says U.S. Wheat Associates.

However, it said the countries could soon stop the practice.

The two countries, which are among the top buyers of U.S. wheat, have been sampling and testing all the U.S. wheat they have bought since last year, when news broke that a farmer in Oregon had found Monsanto’s unapproved genetically modified wheat growing in his field, according to U.S. Wheat Associates, which markets American wheat to international buyers.

All of their test results on more than five million tonnes of wheat have been negative, it said.

The testing requirements are a competitive disadvantage for U.S. wheat, said president Alan Tracy, but both countries now should be able to stop the testing after recent assurances from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that the Oregon event was isolated and no GM wheat had made its way into commercial supplies.

“We’re hopeful that they’ll be able to suspend the testing. It is not something they really want to keep doing indefinitely,” Tracy said.

“They approach things cautiously.

They felt they had no choice until this report (from USDA) was out.”

U.S. Wheat Associates will meet representatives from Japan, Taiwan and South Korea later this month, he said.

According to U.S. export sales data, Japan bought three million tonnes of U.S. wheat in the 2013-14 marketing year, which ended May 31, making it the fourth-largest buyer of U.S. wheat for that period after Brazil, China and Mexico. Japan has bought 1.4 million tonnes so far this year.

The sampling and testing is done in the United States before the wheat is shipped, Tracy said.

South Korea bought 1.3 million tonnes during the last marketing year, making it the seventh largest buyer. It has bought 749,000 tonnes this year.

There is no commercially approved GM wheat, but Monsanto’s herbicide-tolerant Roundup Ready wheat was near commercialization a decade ago before the company shelved the project amid fears that export sales would be hurt.

The fact that experimental wheat was found growing uncontrolled in Oregon last year led to fears the GM wheat might be in commercial supplies. The unapproved wheat was also found this summer in Montana, growing in a research plot where field trials of the GM wheat were conducted from 2000-03.

The USDA said it was investigating the Montana situation, but like Oregon, there are no indications the unapproved wheat entered commercial supplies.

Tracy said Asian markets remain very cautious about GM grain.

“It’s not up to us to tell them what to do,” he added.

Ontario leads in food-grade bean exports Premiums for quality | Ontario companies are targeting the growing South Asian market

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Food-grade, non-genetically modified soybeans have propelled the Hensall District Co-operative into the No. 1 export position.

“We are the biggest exporter of food-grade beans (soybeans and edible beans) in North America and in food-grade soybeans. There’s no one in the states that does more than us,” said Jason McNaughton, the coop’s identity preservation soybean marketing manager.

national Corp., and Jackson Seed Services in Dresden.

They and a handful of smaller companies compete for growers. This year, those growers are enjoying premiums of $2 to $5 per bushel.

Frank Backx at Hensall and Dennis Jackson at Jackson Seeds said foodgrade, non-GM varieties tend to yield as well as their glyphosate-tolerant cousins, despite claims to the contrary.

The notable exceptions are varieties with the highest protein levels, which fetch the highest premium to make up for any yield lag.

“The Roundup Ready gene does not make soybeans yield more.

That’s fictitious,” Backx said.

Growers can expect to take a hit on their premiums next year, perhaps by 25 to 50 cents in Backx’s estimation.

As Chicago Board of Trade prices soften, so do premiums.

“Growers want to get so much money per acre,” Backx said.

“If beans are $15 a bu., they’re happy to grow Roundup Ready. It’s easy.

But if beans are $9, many of them need that extra premium to make ends meet,” he said.

Demand for food-grade exports from Ontario and Quebec is expected to increase as the price of commodity beans drops. McNaughton said the increased demand is from South Asian countries outside of Japan, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong.

McNaughton said the market in Japan for non-GM, food-grade beans is slowly softening as the Japanese adopt western eating habits.

Still, Japan remains the world’s premium market for food-grade soybeans. Ontario and Quebec hold the biggest share of that market.

There’s also enormous export potential for food-grade soybeans in China.

In the past, most Canadian foodgrade soybeans reached China through Hong Kong, McNaughton said.

However, Hensall now ships direct to a buyer in mainland China through a special arrangement that deals with any containers that may contain GMOs. McNaughton said China has an official zero-tolerance policy for GM soybeans. All soybeans grown in the country are said to be GM free, though he doubts the claim.

This year, a record three million acres are expected to be harvested in the province.

Prices were strong earlier this year and adverse planting conditions led Ontario farmers to switch to soybeans from corn.

Average yields are expected.

Hensall Co-op is headquartered in Hensall, a hamlet in Ontario’s Huron County. Edible beans are shipped to the co-op from Ontario, Manitoba, Michigan, Minnesota and North Dakota. Most of its non-GM, foodgrade soybeans are grown in Ontario.

It specializes in food-grade and seed soybeans.

Jackson said the business began as a one-man operation and today includes three processing plants, the latest going online this fall.

Trees provide inside story What grows where? | Researchers study old shelter belts in Saskatchewan

A Saskatchewan researcher hopes shelter belts can help determine the future of trees on the Prairies.

Professor Colin Laroque from the University of Saskatchewan’s soil sciences department has been part of the Agricultural Greenhouse Gas project for the past four years.

He and his team of undergraduate students have explored farms across Saskatchewan, looking at shelter belts that were planted by the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.

“My aspect is looking at shelter belt trees planted since the early 1900s,” said Laroque.

“We look into the past and say we’ve planted all these trees in various areas in Saskatchewan. Which ones are growing well, which aren’t, and why? We can project into the future climate scenarios, which ones are going to grow better.”

Laroque, who has set up the first on-campus tree ring lab at the U of S, has been interested in trees since his undergraduate days when his class explored melting glaciers.

“I got really interested in the glaciers and melting water that came to the trees. I wondered how the environment changed because of that.”

Ever since, Laroque has centered his career on analyzing trees. His recent work with shelter belts has raised the issue of economic benefits but also the aesthetic pleasure.

“There are lots of studies that show how shelter belts break wind, stop snow, bring and trap moisture and stop a lot of surface erosion. It’s not easy to put a dollar figure onto these things.”

Trees sequester carbon and are seen as an important way to reduce carbon emissions.

Laroque’s team comprises not only tree analysts but also researchers who count and measure every shelter belt in Saskatchewan from space.

“There are different types and kinds of trees, and each tree or shrub will sequester carbon differently,” he said.

“Some are growing better or will grow better in the future. We’re trying to gather all this information and give it back to the farm owners by

next spring.”

Laroque said it’s not easy determining why farmers are getting rid of their shelter belts. He said older farmers are often the ones who see the benefits because they have lived through events in which shelter belts were useful. However, he also acknowledged that shelter belts can cause trouble for farmers.

“Often they get in the way of equipment when they have to turn, especially in a field, or the trees get carried away and require too much maintenance.”

Often it’s the trees near homes or in farmyards that stick around, which is because of their aesthetic value.

“They almost end up being like their children. When we ask how much they are worth, farmers say, ‘everything.’ It’s really difficult to put an economic value on them. Sometimes that aesthetic value is just worth everything.”

Alta. oilsands making trees sick: expert Researchers tested trees east of the oil project

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatchewan researcher says Alberta is affecting the development of prairie trees.

Colin Laroque, a professor in the University of Saskatchewan’s soil sciences department, said Saskatchewan’s trees are seeing higher levels of reduced growth because of oilsands production in Fort McMurray, Alta.

“With most of the trees here, we don’t think of the oilsands, but the westerly winds blow all the material over towards and into Saskatchewan.”

Laroque and his team tested trees on the Clearwater River Dene Nation in northern Saskatchewan.

“We floated down Clearwater River and sampled trees on our way,” said Laroque.

The trees weren’t doing well, he added.

Laroque looked into production records of the oilsands and discovered that emissions would increase and blow into Saskatchewan every time production rose. There was little change in the trees before the oilsands were developed, he added.

Laroque said he was surprised that his team could measure the “slow sickness rising in Saskatchewan trees.”

He said the effect on trees could be fixed, but it would mean implementing cleaner production methods and reducing emissions.

“The ability to actually do something is very difficult,” he said. “You’re dealing with two different industries, two different governments, the federal government, and policies that might lean one way or another.”

Pat Cowman believes that identification can play a key role in reducing farm equipment theft.

Cowman’s Property Identification Program, which is part of Operation Hands Off, stores specific ID numbers for a variety of items, including agriculture equipment, on an online directory.

“What we do that’s different than other groups is we have a database that is available to a limited extension of the public,” he said.

However, it doesn’t give the public limitless access to information about who owns what.

“You have to have a specific number,” Cowman said.

Police have more access to the information so that they can return stolen items, he said.

People who find an item with an identification number can use the database as a lost and found system.

“The warning decals on the items have a return-if-found option,” Cowman said. “Use your cell phone with an app to take a picture of the bar code and send a message to the owner to return the item.”

Cowman and his team act as coordinators to return items to their owners.

The program is available to farmers and business owners in Canada.

Cowman said the program is effective when used properly. However, he said it is difficult to say exactly how effective because the RCMP doesn’t keep annual statistics on farm equipment theft.

“The police tend to operate independently from private businesses,” he said.

SecurTek, a security monitoring company in Saskatchewan, reports that farm equipment theft has increased 25 percent based on industry statistics. Vandalism is part of this statistic.

Cowman, who is also president of MicroDot DNA, said thousands of customers in Saskatchewan use the firm’s farm product programs.

He works with a variety of companies, which send spreadsheets of their products to him. He then enters the products into a database with their manufacturer’s identification numbers.

“A big component of this program is a combination of doing the registration and getting warning signs up,” he said.

“That has the biggest impact to reduce theft.”

Awareness also plays a significant role.

“Most people don’t want to take a chance if there’s a potential risk of getting caught.”

Cowman said this type of program can pay off.

“We have done projects with police departments across the country, and we have seen a 70 to 80 percent reduction of theft.”

BOARS | ERADICATION

Conservation group wants boar annihilated Eradication plan sought | The animals destroy pastures, eat crops and can injure livestock

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan conservationists are the latest group to put the wild boar in their crosshairs.

The destructive animal made the agenda at a Nature Saskatchewan meeting for the first time in Regina in September.

“The nature of their character is the rooting behaviour. One particular place that they can be really bad is in wetlands, so they’re rooting out the cattails to eat the tubers,” said Jordan Ignatiuk, executive director of Nature Saskatchewan.

“So they can devastate a wetland in pretty short order if suddenly you get a group of 12, 15, 20 pigs in there.”

Nature Saskatchewan has 900 members, mostly individual naturalists and bird watchers.

Wild boars are a frequent topic of discussion in agricultural circles, where they’re noted for both their destruction and evasiveness — quickly consuming crops, destroying pastures and spooking livestock. In the United States, the invasive animals, which multiply quickly, are linked to more than a $1 billion in damages every year with millions spent to control them.

Some areas of the province, most notably near Moose Mountain Provincial Park, already have a long history of damage.

Officials can’t put a number to the population in Saskatchewan, but a survey published earlier this year found wild boars have been spotted in 70 percent of the province’s rural municipalities, with researcher Ryan Brook of the University of Saskatchewan warning about the looming threat of population growth and calling for a co-ordinate eradication effort.

Wild boars were first introduced to the province as livestock in the 1990s, and animals that run loose from farms can complicate local control efforts.

At Nature Saskatchewan’s meeting, a resolution was put forward to call for a ban on wild boar game farms.

However, Ignatiuk said the language changed by the time the motion came to a vote.

“It talked about banning them completely and then phasing them out and compensating over two years,” he said.

“Like (somebody) said, there will be no appetite for government to do that. If we start asking for too much, we’re going to get nothing.”

The motion was eventually split into two separate resolutions: one calling for tighter regulation and monitoring of wild boar farms and one calling for an eradication plan with co-operation from the province, municipal governments and conser-

ALBERTA PAYS A

$50 BOUNTY FOR A PAIR OF BOAR’S EARS vation organizations.

A similar motion to ban wild boar farming was raised at Alberta’s Agricultural Service Board a few years ago.

“It was defeated because farmers didn’t want to tell farmers what to do,” said Art Preachuk, an agricultural fieldman in Red Deer County.

Since being declared a pest in Alberta in 2008, Alberta officials have introduced tighter restrictions on wild boar fencing systems — to be in place by 2018 — and a bounty on animals in the wild.

That bounty, which provides $50 for a pair of wild boar ears, has seen hundreds of animals killed and has been extended through 2017.

“The bounty is there, but a lot of the feedback from that might be that it’s just scattering them around and making them go nocturnal, right?” said Preachuk.

“There’s ways of hunting them that are more effective, but it needs to have a plan behind it — just not randomly going out and scattering them around the countryside.”

Preachuk said wild boars haven’t been a problem in his area since 2008, following a successful eradication effort.

However, the animals remain a concern in the province, with Lac Ste. Anne County frequently cited as a hotspot.

“With that short experience, we realized how devastating they can be … and that’s why we’ve been advocating to get rid of them all before they end up three million strong like they are in Texas,” said Preachuk.

He said he’s aware of farmer-led efforts to co-ordinate and control problematic populations.

“But there’s no master plan. It’s a provincial thing. They should have a provincial plan,” said Preachuk.

Similar efforts led by farmers and rural leaders exist in Saskatchewan, where funds are available through a wild boar program operated by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

Ignatiuk said Nature Saskatchewan members discussed working with other organizations who may be making similar resolutions.

“Then it’s not just sort of one group that’s lobbying on them or advocating on them or if there’s more than one it makes more sense for the government to listen.”

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan have discovered high levels of arsenic in minerals that are commonly used as natural fertilizers.

Professor Yuanming Pan of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geological sciences department said working with synthetic compounds led to the discovery that struvite and newberyite sequestered significant amounts of arsenic 3+ and 5+.

Arensic 3+ is especially prominent in newberyite and is the more toxic of the two arsenic types.

Pan said natural struvite and newberyite are major compounds of guano, which is used as a fertilizer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we decided to look at the natural guano deposits, it turns out they contain quite high arsenic levels and various other heavy metals.â&#x20AC;?

Byproducts from the waste-water treatment process that are used as fertilizer also contain struvite.

Jeff Schoenau of the U of Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil sciences department said struvite from waste water isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much different from some of the phosphorus bearing materials found in soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even some of the rock phosphate sources used in manufacturers of common fertilizers contain trace amounts of some metals.â&#x20AC;?

Schoenau said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in natural fertilizers and ensure they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed the natural guidelines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a strong believer that nutrients in the environment, if you can capture and recycle them, you can solve and help prevent a lot of problems down the road,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water treatment plant has the first struvite recovery plan in Canada.

Anthony Boone of Ostara said the technology it has developed recovers polluting nutrients, phosphorus and nitrogen and transforms them into a slow release, eco-friendly fertilizer.

The British Columbia company has six plants in North America, but the one in Saskatoon produces fertilizer with arsenic levels below detectable limits.

At less than .2 milligrams per kilogram, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is up to 1,000 times below acceptable limit as established by food and agricultural authorities,â&#x20AC;?

Boone said.

POTATO SECTOR | CONSUMPTION

Industry seeks to counter potato’s negative reputation

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Potato consumption is falling in Canada, but it’s not clear if it’s because consumers no longer see the vegetable as a healthy option.

“There’s no question,” said Keystone Potato Growers Association manager Dan Sawatzky.

“We’ve had an acreage cut, volume cut, here in Manitoba ... but I think we’re turning that corner.”

Potato acreage has fluctuated in

Manitoba over the past eight years.

“We lose some volume one year and generally get it back one or two years down the road,” he said.

“We’re down slightly from where we were in the last seven or eight years.”

The last two years have been particularly challenging, Sawatzky said.

“The peak was in 2003. I expect we’ll see some volume return next year.”

The high dollar has been hurting the industry over the past eight years,

but that is changing.

“Over the last year, we’re now down to about a 92-cent dollar … so that’s in our favour.”

The 2008 recession was particularly hard on potato consumption.

“I think eating out, certainly the traffic into fast food restaurants, slowed down during that time,” said Sawatzky.

However, the trend is beginning to rebound, he added.

“Potatoes were targeted with that whole obsession with obesity and

It has good carbs, so, pound for pound it’s one of your healthier vegetables ... and, it’s also healthy for your wallet.

that kind of thing,” said Sawatzky.

“Some of the oils that were being used — the trans fat and that kind of

thing — a lot of that (consumer perceptions) takes time to change. It takes education to change people’s views. Healthy oil was introduced 10 years ago. Fries are being cooked in canola oil, so some of those concerns have been addressed. It takes a while just to get that message out. The health benefits of potatoes are beginning to get out there, too.”

Potatoes have more potassium than bananas or broccoli and are high in dietary fibre and vitamin C. The Alliance for Potato Research & Education (APRE) website at www. apre.org includes information about the nutritional value of potatoes. The industry supports the site as a way to educate the nutritional community with science-based information about the benefits of potatoes.

Terence M. Hochstein, executive director of Potato Growers of Alberta, said North American consumers are buying less french fries.

“Here, in Alberta, we’re somewhat different from Manitoba and Eastern Canada,” said Hochstein.

“So far, we’ve lost some acres over the last few years, but we’re not nearly as impacted as eastern provinces are. We’ve been able to maintain our acres, as far as our processed potatoes, and are pretty much at status quo. For whatever reason, Alberta did not have a decline. In fact, our acres went up a little this year.”

Hochstein said potato chip and fry acres in Alberta break down as follows: • 2009: 37,665 • 2010: 35,408 • 2011: 40,785 • 2012: 43,304 • 2013: 39,932 • 2014: 40,604 “So, we’ve been very consistent over the last six years,” he said.

“There is some variation from year to year, but I wouldn’t attribute this to a decrease in the consumption of fries. Fries have been on a declining trend over the last number of years, but through the work of APRE, I think we’ve slowed that drastic decline, and now it’s looking positive.”

Hochstein said it’s unfair to target potatoes as unhealthy, particular french fries.

“It’s a consumer choice, health issue or whatever,” he said. “It’s always been viewed as an unhealthy vegetable ... but on the contrary, it’s very healthy. It has good carbs, so, pound for pound it’s one of your healthier vegetables ... and, it’s also healthy for your wallet.”

Hochstein said 82 percent of the frozen products made in Canada are sold in the United States. Addressing potato education in the U.S. will have the greatest possible impact on western Canadian potato growers.

FREE TRADE | RESTRICTIONS

GM TECHNOLOGY | CONSUMER DISAPPROVAL

EU food safety nominee talks tough on U.S. food imports

China launches media campaign to back GM crops

BRUSSELS (Reuters) — The European Union’s nominee for health chief has pledged to oppose the import of some U.S. food, which Washington hopes to be able to sell to Europe under a planned trade deal.

In comments at his confirmation hearing in the European Parliament that will delight EU heavyweights France and Germany, Vytenis Andriukaitis singled out chemically treated meat and genetically modified crops, which he said posed a “philosophical problem” that threatened Europe’s biodiversity.

The United States, now in negotiations with the EU on a free trade pact that would create a joint market of 800 million people, wants the 28-nation bloc to take a more science-based approach to GM crops and hormonetreated meat.

“I cannot make any compromises on this issue, whether it is hormones in meat or chlorine baths for poultry,” Andriukaitis told EU lawmakers in the hearing on his nomination to be head of health and food safety policy in the next European Commission.

The Lithuanian nominee urged caution when EU lawmakers from across the political spectrum repeatedly asked where he stood on GM crops, which are widely grown in the Americas and Asia.

“Cultivation of GMOs is a huge problem from a philosophical point of view,” said Andriukaitis, a doctor by training. “If we want to interfere with biodiversity, we have to be very vigilant and cautious.”

There is strong opposition in a number of EU member states, including France and Germany, to GM food, growth hormones in cattle and chicken that is disinfected with chemicals.

Andriukaitis’s stance signals further tension in the talks to clinch the trade deal, which proponents say must also break down farm trade barriers to deliver the greatest benefits.

An accord would allow the EU to sell more of its luxury cars, trains and chemicals in the United States, an attractive prospect for an economy whose slow recovery from the euro zone debt crisis is faltering.

Selling the benefits of a deal, which could generate $100 billion a year in economic growth for both the EU and the U.S., has also been complicated by concerns about U.S. companies becoming too powerful.

The EU’s designated trade commissioner, Cecilia Malmstrom of Sweden, told EU lawmakers that provisions for investor arbitration — the investor-state dispute settlement — could be dropped from the free trade deal.

Andriukaitis also promised to review the EU’s GM approval process in the first six months of his mandate.

The EU decided in May to make approval of GM crops easier but to allow some countries to ban them.

In the case of GM crops, the EU has cleared 50 of 450 commercial strains for import. The EU imports 30 million tonnes a year of GM grain for its cattle, pigs and poultry, but EU retaile r s ha rd l y s t o c k a n y G M f o o d because of stiff consumer resistance.

Consumer education | The government sees GM technology as safe but consumer opposition has halted introduction BEIJING, China (Reuters) — The Chinese government has kicked off a media campaign in support of genetically modified crops as it battles a wave of negative publicity over a technology it hopes will play a major role in boosting its food security.

The agriculture ministry recently announced it would try to educate the public about genetic modification via television, newspapers and the internet.

It hopes to stifle anti-GMO sentiment that has gathered momentum in the wake of incidents such as reports that GM rice had been illegally sold at a supermarket in the

centre of the country.

Beijing has been a long-time proponent of GMOs, which it sees as safe and as potentially key in helping feed the world’s largest population.

However, critics have alleged the technology could pose health risks, and while China allows imports of some GM crops, it hasn’t yet permitted domestic cultivation.

China has imported millions of tonnes of GM soybeans a year for the past decade to feed the world’s largest pig herd and produce 40 percent of the county’s vegetable oil needs.

China consumes one-third of the world’s soybeans and snaps up 65

percent of all imports. “(We will create) a social atmosphere which is beneficial for the healthy development of the genetically modified industry,” the agriculture ministry said in a statement.

Several negative reports this year on specific GM food has slowed progress toward domestic cultivation and may have played a role in curbing imports of some crops.

The discovery of an unapproved strain of GM corn in U.S. shipments to China wreaked havoc in the grain market, with Cargill estimating losses of more than $90 million. The discoveries also triggered lawsuits

against Syngenta, which developed the corn variety.

The country has also suspended the import approval process for a GM soybean variety, citing “low public acceptance” of GM food, according to officials familiar with the issue.

China has spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing its own GM crops and approved two pestresistant varieties of rice and a GM corn for commercialization in 2009.

However, wary of strong opposition to GM technology, it never proceeded to cultivation. The safety certificates on the products expired this summer.

SMART?

PROVE IT.

Specialist says integrated approach using mowing, grazing and herbicides is required

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Grazing can be an effective way to control Canada thistle, even though beef cattle prefer not to eat the weed.

Sarah Sommerfeld, a regional forage specialist in Outlook, Sask., says livestock will eat it under intensive rotational grazing conditions that reduce animal selectivity.

Animals will also trample the weeds and make them less competitive, which provides the opportunity for other forages to re-grow and potentially become more vigorous.

Cattle prefer to graze on grasses and legumes, while sheep like to graze shrubs, woody species and brows.

Goats enjoy the brows species and woody plants over grass.

“When you have thistles, you can use sheep and goats to graze those more mature plants,” said Sommerfeld.

“They will leave that more desirable forage behind, which you could then come back and utilize with beef cattle. So, a farm with sheep, goats and cattle would probably benefit from having many different species of herbivores grazing the same pasture.”

Producers don’t need to own all types of livestock.

“There are opportunities for producers who’ll bring the sheep or goats to your land or to an area for a period of time to graze or browse those specific types of plants,” she said.

“They come in for a short period of time. Then the shepherd and his/her herd will move onto a different area to do more grazing. So, for multispecies grazing, you certainly don’t need to own all those species.”

Mowing can effectively prevent seed set, but only if repeated several times in each growing season over a number of years. This consistently weakens the top of the plant and does not provide adequate recovery time.

Grazing can replace mowing when pastures are unsuitable for mowing

because of limited access, topography, or terrain that is unsuitable for such equipment.

“Over time, if you continue to utilize the intensive grazing approach, the thistle population will decline and the desirable forage yield will increase.”

Mowing or grazing can severely weaken the plant, but it is still possible for plants to send up new shoots and re-grow from their root system.

Sommerfeld advised also using control mechanisms to target the root system.

Herbicide is one way to do that.

“You can either use a broadcaster or blanket application over a large area, or you can do more selective applications through spot spraying or weed wipers.”

Broad leaf herbicides are registered for use, but it is important to use products that provide long-term residual control.

“Herbicides registered for use on pastures and range can be very expensive to use, but they provide excellent soil residual activity,” said Sommerfeld.

“Those active ingredients are effective in killing the plant. You want that herbicide activity to stay in the soil for two or three growing seasons, not just being effective in the year of application.”

She said an integrated approach, in which herbicides are used along with intensive rotational grazing or multispecies grazing, gives the best chance of success in controlling Canada thistle.

A small patch of Canada thistle can be baled separately, but a larger area requires a different approach.

“What happens is you’re cutting those weeds off and putting them in a bale ... and if you’re moving those bales to other sites, you’re transporting those weeds from one area to another, spreading that weed invasion around, proliferating the problem even more.”Less and less desir-

MANAGING CANADA THISTLE IN PASTURES Canada thistle has probably been around since the time of the European settlers, says Sarah Sommerfeld, regional forage specialist in Outlook, Sask.

• Formally known as cirsium arvense, it is an aggressive creeping-rooted perennial weed with irregular lobe shaped leaves with spines on the leaf margins.

Visit your New Holland Dealer by November 30 to take advantage of great offers on tractors and equipment during Value Bonanza.

• It can be found in hay fields and pastures across the Prairies.

• Saskatchewan’s Weed Control Act lists Canada thistle as a noxious weed, which requires landowners and occupants to eradicate, control, or prevent the weed’s spread.

• It is important to control Canada thistle because it can dramatically decrease the forage yield of desirable species in pastures as the weed population increases and becomes more dense and robust.

• Canada thistle dies down to the ground in winter, but it is still problematic because of its competitiveness. The plant can be cut off, but it spreads aggressively through a creeping root system.

able forage yield will be available if this weed invasion area continues to grow.

“In a hay situation, the thistle would decrease the amount of hay harvested off the field, resulting in fewer bales sold and fewer dollars per acre earned,” said Sommerfeld.

“So, it may not affect the overall price the hay sells for, but if you’re selling fewer bales, you’re earning fewer dollars. As a hay seller, you shouldn’t be looking to transport that hay to other areas. Producers are good stewards of the land. They don’t want to be moving these invasive weeds from one area to another.”

Through the expansion of maize cultivation in the past few years in particular, the plough has regained its importance as a primary cultivator. The reduction of plant diseases, mechanical pest control due to increasing chemical resistance, and the fight against new pests, are among the most important tasks facing a plough today. Recent research has shown that loosening and aerating the root zone, with a plough, can improve the formation of rape roots, for example, thus laying the foundation for high and guaranteed yields.

BIOTECHNOLOGY AGREEMENT | ROYALTIES

Brazil soy exporters to police Monsanto GM seed Companies compensated | Grain merchants want to be paid for collecting royalties on patent protected technology SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — At least one soybean exporter in Brazil has agreed with Monsanto to collect royalties, in exchange for a fee, from farmers who planted the company’s genetically modified crops.

The landmark deal, already finalized by a firm that declined to be identified, highlights an increasingly complex relationship between global grain merchants and biotech firms.

Other bigger merchants such as ADM and Bunge will finalize agreements soon, industry sources said, which resolves a months-long dis-

pute that had threatened to disrupt as much as a quarter of all soy shipments from the world’s second-largest grower.

The trading firms are wary of serving as biotechnology police in Brazil, a role they have not had to play in the United States because biotech company’s patents are protected by laws that do not allow farmers to reuse seeds year after year.

In Brazil, where GM seeds have been legal only since 2005, reusing seeds is more common and it is easier for farmers to skip out on Mon-

santo’s fees after buying the seeds the first season.

Soy-crushing group Abiove, which represents global firms such as ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, spent months negotiating to ensure companies are compensated for collecting and monitoring payments on Monsanto’s new Intacta RR2 Pro strain of GM soybeans.

“Now the question is for Monsanto and each company to work out payments,” said Ricardo Tomczyk, president of the soy farmer lobby Aprosoja in Brazil’s top-growing state Mato

Grosso, after meeting with Abiove representatives.

Some merchants have been collecting royalties on Monsanto’s first generation Roundup Ready soybeans in Brazil for as long as a decade, but the arrangement was a source of deep frustration because it required merchants to accept legal liability for their shipments without any compensation from Monsanto.

The industry has been determined to avoid a similar arrangement with Intacta. The variety includes a gene

CARGILL ESTIMATES IT SUFFERED LOSSES OF MORE THAN

$90 million ON GM SHIPMENTS TO CHINA to ward off pests, which was first planted in South America last year.

The local firm that has already accepted the compensation said it did so reluctantly.

“We assume the risk of not receiving royalties from producers,” said a manager at the firm.

“They (Monsanto) offered comp e n s a t i o n f o r t h e c o m p a n y ,” although she declined to say what that was.

Concerns remain that Monsanto might force firms to halt soybean shipments without proof of royalty payments on cargos containing the strain.

Brazil is Monsanto’s second-largest market, making up about a tenth of its $15 billion in net sales last year.

Monsanto has blamed a downturn in royalty payments on its Roundup Ready products for a drop in net sales of soybean seeds last year.

The spat bubbled under the surface until an Abiove statement in July said the association had failed to reach an agreement after six months of negotiations, potentially stalling soy sales in Brazil.

An Abiove representative confirmed Monsanto is negotiating with individual companies.

Monsanto said in an e-mail that negotiations with Abiove companies “are ongoing and progressing.”

Tensions are growing between the merchants who dominate the world’s grain trade, buying from farmers and shipping to importers, and the makers of GM crops, whose products have become deeply embedded in the global supply chain.

Brazil’s Intacta saga is part of a broad trade, copyright, environment and food safety debate about genetic modification in agriculture that is far from resolved.

Intacta was not planted in Brazil until after China approved it last year.

China buys the vast majority of Brazilian soybeans. However, farmers are worried that the trading dispute could limit buyers.

“If this hadn’t been resolved, the companies affiliated with Abiove were unlikely to trade Intacta soy,” said Tomczyk.

Early this year, China rejected 1.25 million tonnes of U.S. corn and byproducts containing Syngenta’s GM strain MIR-162, which China has not yet approved.

Cargill last month sued Syngenta for marketing the seeds in the United States, even though it lacked Beijing’s approval. Cargill estimated it suffered losses of more than $90 million.

Brazil’s foreign ministry said the same MIR-162 corn, which has been sold in small amounts in the country since 2012, is preventing the sale of more Brazilian corn to China after the two countries signed a bilateral agreement earlier this year.

PHOTO BOOK | RURAL CANADA

Photographs reveal stories of the past Pioneers recall early days of farming and agriculture

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Dion Manastyrski says he’s fascinated by the things that used to be on the Prairies but actually never left.

The west coast photographer with an interest in abandoned spaces spent the past decade building a portfolio of images of farmhouses and long forgotten equipment.

The aging buildings and rusty antiques are common sites from prairie roadways, and Manastyrski is no stranger to them.

His visits hearken back to his days growing up on a small farm near Rose Valley, Sask.

“I remember when I was seven years old, we would get on our bikes and we would disappear for the whole day, exploring all over the place,” said Manastyrski, whose grandparents came to Saskatchewan as homesteaders.

“We would go to some of these old places. Even back then, I just thought it was fascinating.”

Manastyrski, who now lives in Victoria, left the province following high school, but said he retained a connection to the Prairies. Over the years, he’d return to his family farm and observe how farming was changing and rural communities evolving from a time when small family farms covered the landscape.

“I saw enough to know how rich that whole rural life was and still is,” he said. “It’s just changed a lot.”

Beginning in 2003, he began making trips back to Western Canada with

“I enjoy the subject matter. I find a lot of people do as well. I don’t know exactly why,” he said.

“I think there’s mystery in it and there’s a nostalgia to it.”

Manastyrski’s earliest trips were made with a photo book in mind, but the idea eventually began to expand.

He interviewed 70 rural residents, mostly senior citizens and retired farmers, about their lifestyle and aspirations growing up: farming before modern machinery, attending one room schools and adapting to new technology.

He also asked them how they felt about changes in rural Canada.

Manastyrski hopes the book he is working on will blend his photos, archival images and the words of his interviewees.

“It’s really intended to be the beautiful story that it is. What happened in

the last 100 years on the Prairies was incredible,” he said.

“You had people coming in from all over the world with huge hopes and dreams to start new lives. They had an opportunity to have something you could never have back in their home countries: their own

land and a farm.”

Manastyrski is raising money to self-publish his hardcover photo book, Prairie Sunset : A Story of Change, on the crowd-funding website Indiegogo.

“Who were these people? What were their lives like and why did they

leave everything behind,” says Manastyrski in a video on his website.

Customers who pledge to Manastyrski’s campaign are buying a copy of the book before it’s published.

“Most of the work here is trying to get people to believe in crowdfunding,” he said.

CRYSTAL GREEN FROM OSTARA PEARL

MANURE | NUTRIENT RECOVERY

The Ostara Pearl system is designed to inject waste water from municipal and agricultural sources and clean that water to the extent that it can return directly to the public waterways. Pearl removes 80 percent of the phosphorus and 25 percent of the nitrogen from liquid manure or municipal waste and converts it into Crystal Green fertilizer prills with a chemical expression of 5.28.0+10. Ostara just opened its seventh facility, with the newest one already operating at Portage La Prairie.

More than half the waste water comes from the food processing industry.

Isolating and transporting phosphorus and nitrogen has always been the Holy Grail for scientists trying to develop better manure management technologies.

If those two elements could be economically extracted and exported beyond the point of origin, pollution from manure could be nearly eliminated and commercial grade fertilizer could be sold at a profit far past the farmgate.

There was no problem incorporating manure into adjacent fields when

PHILLIP ABRARY OSTARA PRESIDENT

livestock were raised on small farms scattered around the countryside.

However, an economic ring formed around each farm as the livestock sector intensified and animal numbers became concentrated in specialized facilities.

Hauling manure beyond that strict radius was economically prohibitive, regardless of what animals the manure came from or what form it was in.

The weight and volume of manure, in combination with its nutrient value, usually limits livestock producers to a transportation radius of less than three kilometres.

However, a Vancouver company says it can break out of that restrictive ring with a new process that removes 85 percent of phosphorus and 25 percent of nitrogen from waste water.

The nutrients are converted into 5.28.0+10% prills and sold in one-ton tote bags.

Ostara’s patented Pearl process uses a naturally occurring chemical reaction to convert nutrients into hard fertilizer pellets called Crystal Green.

The company has five operational Crystal Green facilities in the United States and one in Europe. Its first Canadian plant recently went into operation processing waste water at Portage la Prairie, Man. More than half the 15 million litres of waste water that are treated daily at this site originates from local food processors such as Simplot and McCain. It contains high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen.

Portage is studying the Ostara Pearl system as one option for treating its nutrient-laden waste water. The pilot program is significant because waste water from the facility runs into the massive Lake Winnipeg watershed, which has been in the spotlight for the past two decades because high phosphorus levels are damaging aquatic systems.

The Crystal Green system has the potential to recover 100 tonnes of phosphorus a year, according to

Ostara president Phillip Abrary.

“It provides a proven and affordable means of helping cities become better stewards of their environment through sound nutrient management practices,” he said Abrary said Portage is also evaluating technology to remove ammonia from its waste-water streams, marking the first time the Pearl process has been deployed in conjunction with an ammonia removal process.

Veolia uses its ANITA Mox technology to remove more than 80 percent of the ammonia in wastewater treatment plants. The system combines an aerobic and an anoxic process into one reactor with both conventional nitrite producing bacteria and a specific Anammox biomass.

The Ostara Pearl system has been applied only to municipal waste treatment plants, but Abrary said the same technology works just as well with livestock manure.

“As long as an organic waste or manure can be pre-processed into a liquid form, our system can remove over 80 percent phosphorus and 25 percent of the nitrogen,” said Abrary.

“Physically, the way you do that is simply put the manure into a biodigester to capture the bio-gas.

There’s nothing new about that, and there are numerous ways to turn biogas into energy.

“What’s left in the bio-digester is liquid containing phosphorus because it does not evaporate. It remains in the liquid until we run it through our Pearl system. That’s why our technology is a good complement to any operation using a biodigester. It creates one more source of income.”

Abrary said the more a livestock operation expands, the more sense it makes to install the Pearl. Larger operations have a bigger concentration of manure so their distribution radius becomes even more restrictive, whether they move manure by tanker or drag hose.

It becomes even more important to deal with phosphorus transportation when the economic ring of one livestock producer overlaps that of another.

He said the Pearl process relies on natural chemical reactions that take place when magnesium is added to waste organic liquid. Phosphorus molecules and some nitrogen molecules attach themselves to the magnesium.

PRODUCTION CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

These tiny particles continue to grow, layer by layer, as long as the liquid circulates or new waste water is added. The process is best compared to the creation of a pearl inside an oyster.

Chemists call the compound “struvite,” and it’s the worst enemy of engineers who manage waste-water treatment plants. There, the mineral struvite forms a concrete-like crust on pumps, valves, pipes and other components in the plants. It’s the cause of high maintenance costs in many plants.

“Researchers at UBC (University of British Columbia) were looking for a way to dissolve or eliminate this struvite,” he said.

They came up with the idea of using magnesium to draw the phosphorus out of the liquid. That was really the main purpose of their research.”

Abrary said the fluid bed is the key to Ostara’s adaptation of UBC’s technology.

It is a large vertical funnel-shaped cylindrical tank, really more like three cylinders stacked on top of one another with the smallest at the bottom and the biggest at the top.

Waste water is pumped in and circulated, along with a measured amount of magnesium.

The presence of magnesium forces the phosphorus and ammonia to crystallize into small pellets that float to the top chamber where the water is calmer.

The prills remain suspended in the liquid as long as they remain small and light weight. Eventually they become heavy enough to sink to the bottom of the fluid bed, from where t h e y a re c o l l e c t e d , d r i e d a n d bagged.

“When you cut a prill open, you can actually see the layers or the growth rings like you’d see in a tree.

What we have at this point is an extremely pure crystallized product,” he said.

“A granule ranges in size from one

millimetre to 3.5 mm and is 99.9 percent pure. We control the exact size by manipulating the fluid bed. The product is not water soluble, so you can apply it to water-logged soil and it will not start to release.

“Crystal Green is plant-activated when organic acids given off by the crop roots contact the granules. It only releases when a root system needs the nutrients. That means lower application rates and much less risk of loss from leaching and runoff.”

Abrary said phosphorus bonding to magnesium gives Crystal Green that extra 10 percent on the chemical expression.

The product is a highly stable, hard crystal that’s dust-free and easy to ship, he added.

“One thing we’ve seen is that Crystal Green is very consistent, regardless of what waste-water source we run through the system,” he said.

“It always comes out precisely as 5.28.0+10%.”

Ostara sells the fertilizer in one ton bags, by the truckload, mainly to vegetable and turf customers. The price is two to three times higher than conventional phosphorus products, but Abrary said the number is deceiving because it’s totally plant available. It’s never tied up in the soil, so farmers apply fewer units.

“We know the turf and vegetable people see the economic benefit.

Our next step is to test Crystal Green in broad acre crops like corn, winter wheat and barley. So right now, we have field trials taking place with those kinds of crops.”

Prairie farmers have joked about putting down 100 pounds per acre of phosphorus when they’re 30 years old but not living long enough to see it taken up by their crops.

“Instead, he has to keep applying more phosphorus every year if he expects to grow a crop. Not so with Crystal Green. You put down 100 lb. and it’s taken up by your crop.”

Trials testing efficacy of new fertilizer Crystal Green | Company testing phosphorus prills in canola, spring wheat, corn and soybean crops

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Like any technological innovation, Crystal Green does not enter the market as the lowest cost option.

However, like so many agricultural innovations, the higher efficiency might justify the higher cost.

In the case of Ostara Crystal Green, field trials are essential in demonstrating that the economic benefit of the company’s pearlized phosphorus prills merits a price tag two or three times higher than conventional fertilizer products.

Ostara is conducting 100 trials in alfalfa, canola, winter wheat, spring barley, corn, potatoes and vegetable crops, says Ostara chief agronomist Dan Froechlich.

“We’re testing to make sure it works in an on-farm context with some of the main broad acre crops,” he said.

“Next year we’ll be doing more canola, spring wheat, corn and soybeans.”

He said side-by-side on-farm trials

are the best way to show whether a product is economically beneficial.

For example, Crystal Green might not be viable in a year when corn prices are down and phosphate is cheap. In other years, it might be the only logical choice.

“So far, we’ve proven (a return on investment) of 3:1 and 4:1 and even higher, but let’s face it, even if the farmer sees a yield increase and an economic benefit, it still has to get past his banker,” he said.

“The banker controls a lot of what a farmer gets to do. He has to be shown that Crystal Green limits the risk of the investment disappearing down a hole.”

Froechlich said farmers and bankers need to examine what happens to the fertilizer they apply. If it’s gone forever, it was probably a bad investment.

However, if the unused fertilizer remains stable and in place for the next crop, then maybe it was a good idea.

“I’m originally from a farm in

northern Iowa. We used to joke that by the time we finished applying fertilizer on a 160 acre field, the phosphorus was already all tied up in the soil,” he said.

“That’s what Crystal Green prevents. It only releases phosphorus when organic acids from the plant call for it. When the plant stops growing, it stops giving off organic acids so Crystal Green stops releasing phosphorus.

“If you put Crystal Green down in a corn field on 30 inch centres, it’s not likely the roots will access it down the row centres in the first year. The organic acids will not have reached the prills to trigger a phos-

phorus release. That means all the Crystal Green down the middle between the rows is still there the following year.”

A lot of vegetable crops and irrigated crops are grown on sandy soils.

Froechlich said Ostara’s experience in sandy soil shows that the product does not wash down below the root zone.

“On the Canadian Prairies, where calcium can be an issue, a lot of phosphorus normally get tied up right away. Crystal Green helps in two ways,” he said.

“First, as we said, phosphorus is only released when it’s called for by the roots. It’s not freely available for

the calcium to get it. Second, our slow release magnesium helps improve the calcium-magnesium ratio that causes problems in some of your higher pH soils.

“We’ve also found reducing the overall P2O5 rate by 25 percent gives us higher yields. If the recommendation calls for 100 pounds of P2O5 for a 250 bushel corn crop, we drop that to 75 lb. total P2O5.”

In that situation, he said the company would typically use 70 lb. Crystal Green along with 108 lb. MAP to obtain the required 75 lb. phosphorus.

Froechlich said Ostara always put a small amount of conventional water soluble phosphorus in the blend with Crystal Green to give the plants an immediate boost.

The plants will not exude the required organic acids to trigger a phosphorus release unless they are established with a healthy root system.

The conventional phosphorus provides that kick start.

MACHINERY | COMBINES

Agco upgrades Gleaner, Massey harvesters Lighter weight, increased capacity | Gradual changes in the components and design result in new combines, over time

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Rather than going back to the drawing board every few years, Agco believes in the gradual evolution of its combines, focusing each new enhancement on the weakest link in the chain.

This year, the company used the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, and Big Iron in Fargo, North Dakota, to introduce major upgrades to its Gleaner and Massey combines.

Engine selection is one example of Agco’s gradual approach.

As of last January, every Agco product is now powered by an Agco engine. The only exception is the compact tractor line.

Agco bought the Finnish engine company Sisu in 1994, which was recently renamed Agco Power. Sisu engines immediately began powering Agco implements, and the full line of Agco-built implements now has Agco Power.

All 2015 model year combines are Tier 4 compliant, with diesel exhaust fluid, selective catalytic reduction and dual turbochargers with external-cooling ECR. The engines do not use diesel particulate filters.

The Class 6 combines in the Gleaner and Massey lineup are powered by the 8.4 litre, six-cylinder engine rated at 322 horsepower with maximum 398 h.p. boost.

The Class 7 machines have the 9.8 litre, seven-cylinder engine rated at 375 h.p. and 451 h.p. maximum boost.

The Class 8 Massey also has the 9.8 litre, seven-cylinder engine, but the rating is 460 h.p. with maximum 490 h.p. boost.

The Class 8 Gleaner is a lighter weight combine and has a straight through gearbox, which means the same 9.8 litre engine only has 430 h.p. with maximum 471 h.p. boost.

All Gleaner and Massey combines can be equipped ready for Ag Leader as a factory option, which allows for yield monitoring with a live yield map.

The option includes an elevator mount unit, yield sensor, moisture sensor, speed module and harness.

Farmers need only add the Ag Leader display of their choice.

GLEANER S8 SUPER SERIES The 32,000 pound transverse rotary Gleaner S8 is still at the bottom of the class when it comes to weight.

“Gleaner is the lightest combine platform in the world,” says Agco combine specialist Kevin Bien.

“The S88 is nearly eight tons lighter than competitive Class 8 combines.

We save weight because the natural flow rotor design requires fewer components.”

Bien said the straight-through gearbox gives Gleaner an automatic energy advantage over combines with a 90 degree gearbox because the 90 degree change in power direction is inherently inefficient.

“There are greater parasitic losses with any 90 degree gearbox than with a straight-through gearbox. That goes without saying. The more power you tr y pulling through that 90

degree gearbox, because of the engine location, the more power you lose.

“The 90 degree gearbox is also more difficult to service. If I’ve got a New Holland CR and I have to service the gearboxes that drive the twin rotors, I have to get inside the cleaning shoe. Now that’s a major job.

“Whereas, if I’ve got a Gleaner with a straight-through shaft, the power requirement is less, the combine weighs less and I’m servicing it from the outside.”

Concave filler plates are now available to boost threshing performance in wheat and other small grains. New

separator blanking is available, with three blanks for maximum performance in grass seed, sunflowers and specialty crops.

A perforated elevator door makes harvesting soybeans and edible beans in sandy conditions a much cleaner operation. The clean grain elevator drive is six percent faster and handles more than 5,000 bushels per hour of dry corn.

The S8 has increased capacity for farmers wanting to get out early and harvest high-moisture crops. A perforated cascade pan for the cleaning shoe provides a 12.8 percent increase in pneumatic cleaning area to pro-

vide cleaner grain in the tank and lower losses in the field.

“This area used to be solid, so grain would come up the rotor,” Bien said.

“If I was threshing high moisture grain, it would stick for quite a while before it fell down to chaffer and the sieve.

“Now that we have a perforated pan, the high moisture grain falls down to the cross auger very easily.

Also, the show used to be 7,729 sq. inches. Now it 8,721 sq. inches.

“It’s a huge improvement in capacity. If I had been running 4,000 bu. per hour high moisture corn before, now I can run 4,400 bu. per hour.”

For farmers interested in conservation tillage, the straw spreader motor was moved two inches to the rear for better straw and residue discharge.

Other changes are designed to reduce spreader curtain and paddle wear by 50 percent.

The new Gleaners get a highercapacity rear-wheel assist steering control unit, with a larger cylinder to help in fully loaded conditions.

The combines keep their unitized, welded main frame, which provides a low centre of gravity and true centerline design for better handling in adverse field conditions.

PRODUCTION

MASSEY 9505 SERIES Bien said the Massey 9505 axial weighs 39,000 to 40,000 lb. and is simple design compared to many other combines.

The 9505 couples the Trident processor with a new variable-speed hydraulic-drive fan that’s adjustable from 100 to 1,350 r.p.m.

Extending the r.p.m. fan-speed range eliminates the need to switch pulleys for different crops.

Massey also added perforated panels at the bottom of the shoe for soybeans, edible beans and other harvest conditions in which sand and dirt get into the combine.

“The bottom of the shoe has the capability to run these perforated panels down below the auger trough to take out the fines,” he said.

“They give the cleaning shoe area a chance to clean out when you’re cutting low and bringing dirt into the combine.”

Agco said the panels allow better control of material distribution on the shoe to improve rotor and shoe performance and improve material distribution in the separation and threshing areas.

There’s more to bumping up the power on a combine than simply turning the screw on the software.

C o m p o n e n t s m u s t b e s t ro n g enough to survive and take full advantage of the new-found power when running those large headers in tough conditions.

The new 9505 provides 28 percent more power to the variable-speed header drive, which has been upgraded to take the extra torque.

Massey uses the same V-Cool system, which places the radiator, hydraulic-cooling heat exchangers a n d air-to-a ir int ercoo l e r i n a V-shape below a variable-speed, hydraulically driven fan, which draws only as much power from the engine as needed.

It still includes the purge reverse cycle to clear off chaff and other debris.

Bien said a new grain-saver option on the unloader auger is designed to prevent grain from falling to the ground when the auger is shut off while it’s full of grain.

“We have a grain car t type of unloader tube that swings out. Normally, when you shut off the auger to swing it back in, you tend to lose some grain at the end of the tube.

“Now we have a power driven rotating spout at the end. It rotates to the top side and lets you swing the tube back in with the spout pointing to the inside so you don’t lose clean grain. It rotates whether the unloading auger is engaged or disengaged.”

The cab has a new layout, new steering column and enhanced ergonomic control placement. Agco said the changes provide the operator with

better visibility.

Transportation points key to PED control Porcine epidemic diarrhea | While Canada has successfully managed the virus so far, fall brings increased risk of infection

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus can travel on its own in the air for 15 kilometres, but human transport is the more likely carrier.

Manure application companies and trucks that deliver feed and haul hogs to market can carry the potentially fatal disease from farm to farm.

“Transportation is a high risk for us,” said Ontario veterinarian Cathy Templeton.

She has 1,250 sows on her farm and has seen cases first hand in her practice.

Ontario has had 63 positive sites, and the disease has been contained this summer. Manitoba has reported three new cases within the last two weeks.

“We have so far managed to largely keep it out. We are more at risk this fall,” she told a Canadian Meat Coun-

cil food safety symposium in Toronto Oct. 2.

A keener focus on PED in the last 12 months has also brought a reduction in salmonella and PRRS because veterinarians are testing more and people are carefully following biosecurity measures.

Diligent sanitation is the key, starting with correct truck washing.

In Europe, truck washing is mandatory before vehicles leave abattoirs.

Canada may have to follow that protocol.

“We may need to consider that as trade opens between our country and the EU,” Templeton said.

Ontario does not have enough truck washing facilities, she added.

Many Ontario transport companies operate truck wash systems, but they are not close to slaughter plants.

Templeton said that even if more stations were built, they would not be ready for this PED season.

She also said she has noticed that

rules and regulations are being interpreted and enforced differently across the country.

The bottom line is that truckers need to know how to wash a vehicle and trailer properly.

Two people need two hours to wash a truck and trailer.

A proper wash takes 6,000 litres of hot water and cleans trucks front to back to remove all organic material.

Disinfectant must be applied to a clean surface, and the vehicles must dry properly.

Vehicles need to be inspected by people other than wash bay staff.

Swabbing may be done to see what is left after cleaning.

Mark Fynn of Manitoba Pork said the process needs to be repeated if the truck still has visible signs of manure.

“We can’t take a half-assed approach to washing these trailers,” he said in a conference call Oct. 3.

Farmers also need to get stricter

about who enters their property.

Service providers such as feed deliveries, meter readers, semen deliveries, garbage collectors and dead animal pickup should call before coming and should tell the farmer where they have been.

They should stay out if it is not necessary to enter the yard.

Fynn suggested setting up a collection point at the end of the driveway.

Those coming on the farm must wear disposable boots so they do not bring in infection or take it elsewhere. Manure poses a major threat, and many farms use custom applicators to remove it.

However, more producers are providing their own liquid manure agitators, pumps and hoses which stay on the farm, said John Carney, executive director of the Manitoba Livestock Manure Management Initiative.

A recent survey found companies have changed their practices because of the seriousness of PED by

WALKING THE COWS

providing more education for employees and more communication with farmers and stepping up biosecurity practices.

“We are seeing a lot more time and consideration going into planning the route that the manure applicator, equipment and staff are going to follow before coming to the site,” Carney said.

That plan includes finding an alternate farmgate.

Most farms have only one entrance, which makes it difficult to avoid other farm traffic such as employee vehicles, hog trucks, feed deliveries and service people all using the same driveway.

Carney said farms need separate entrances to the lagoon and a clearly marked line of separation where they may not pass in the farmyard.

Farmers could consider marking this with yellow tape or pylons so that operators can see where they may not go.

Manitoba Pork wants to know how long the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus can survive adverse conditions.

It is working with the Manitoba Livestock Manure Initiative and the provincial agriculture ministry to collect manure samples and assess how long the virus can survive in a lagoon and if it is capable of infecting pigs.

About 600 sites have participated, but smaller farms have not become as involved, said Mark Fynn of Manitoba Pork.

Most of the testing involves lagoon tests to gauge the presence of the virus.

Manure samples are collected at different depths from 12 locations where the virus was discovered in May. Manure temperature, ambient air temperature and pH levels are measured to see if they affect the virus.

Virus has been found but the researchers do not know if it is still capable of causing disease.

Farmers are also being encouraged to collect swabs from their pigs and send them for testing. This could potentially cover all pigs in the province.

Clinical signs for mature pigs are subtle and could be easily missed. A broad survey of this type could look for a wider range of stock in the province.

BEEF GRADING | U.S. REVISIONS

U.S. plans revisions to beef grading system The computerized system can better measure marbling and yield on today’s bigger cattle carcasses

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — Significant changes in the beef industry have prompted the United States to consider revising its grading system, but Canada is not following suit.

“Often there are suggestions for different improvements. Currently there is nothing proposed,” said Dave Solverson, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

“Our grading system is more specific than the U.S. system.”

Canada is monitoring the U.S. proposals because both countries want similar systems, said Graeme Hedley, chair of the Canada Beef Grading Agency.

“We are harmonized on marbling and we are in the process of harmonizing on yield,” he said.

“It doesn’t have a lot of bearing on consumers, but it affects how producers get paid.”

The changes will take modern cattle types into account, but sweeping changes are unlikely, he said.

Canada offers a private service that is federally regulated through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

“We deliver according to the regulations and the CFIA employs a national grades officer,” Hedley said.

Canada’s grading regulations are embedded in the new food safety act.

Some regulatory changes will be published for comment later this year with implementation the middle of next year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Aug. 14 it was seeking public comment on revisions that would include a review of beef instrument grading.

The computerized system measures qualities such as fat depth and deposition. It can also more accurately determine marbling and yield when a carcass appears to be borderline.

The U.S. standards were developed nearly 100 years ago and were last changed in 1997.

Cattle have grown larger and their physical makeup has changed since the last review. Carcasses were 500 to 600 pounds when the yield grade standard was developed 50 years ago but have since grown to 800 to 900 lb.

The U.S. grades are Prime, Choice, Select and Standard and are based on quality and yield grades.

The quality grades refer to marbling and maturity while yield determines the percentage of a carcass that should yield boneless, closely trimmed retail cuts.

TORONTO — A glass of wine served with a savoury steak at a high class resort has turned into a winning partnership.

Karisma Resorts, Air Canada Vacations, Jackson Family Wines and Canada Beef have worked together for the last year to create special vacation experiences.

Karisma Resorts, which owns allinclusive properties in Mexico, Latin America and Europe, works with the other companies to offer week long culinary experiences to guests. They can sample fine wines, eat Canadian beef, learn from chefs and become more sophisticated epicureans.

Canada Beef Inc. considers this alliance as a huge coup, especially when the California based winery came on board. The publicity generated was worth its weight in gold.

“The exposure with Jackson is huge,” said Chuck McLean, pastchair of Canada Beef.

There was no problem getting Canadian beef into Mexico, where restrictions continue because of BSE. “Having enough supply was the problem. We actually ran out in the middle of it all,” McLean told the Canada Beef forum held in Toronto Sept. 18.

The partners hope to build brand loyalty among customers so they will continue to stay at the resorts and buy beef and wine.

“It is all about marketing and getting the word out there,” said Jereon Hanlo, food and beverage vice-president for Karisma, which entertains 350,000 guests a year at 21 properties.

Jackson Wines considered it a fresh opportunity to promote its portfolio of 500 wines.

“Our basis is luxury and quality. It is the No. 1 attribute that our company believes in,” said Gayle Bartscherer, vice-president of international marketing. “You want to impress the heck out of them so they will keep coming back.”

The Jackson company was persuaded to join partly because Canada Beef and Karisma Resorts shared a similar philosophy about promoting quality.

“You want a company that is relatable to your industry but not in your industry. Both partners have to get something out of it,” she said.

The culinary package pairs different cabernets with a variety of beef products, as well as locally grown food to round out the week long event.

Canada Beef is also working with other companies to further build the brand.

Reinhart Food Service, the fourth

largest food distribution chain in the United States, has added Canadian beef to its product line using the brand name Eagle Ridge.

Reinhart has 31 food distribution outlets east of the Mississippi River, and in 2013 the company exceeded $6.5 billion in sales with plans to expand. It is owned by Chicago based Reyes Holdings, one of the largest privately held food and beverage distributors in the U.S. with annual sales of $23 billion.

Reinhart distributes food to restaurants, health-care institutions, schools, universities and the military, said John Dvorak, corporate manager of meat marketing.

“We service the full spectrum of food service,” he said.

The company was attracted to Canadian beef because it promotes a high quality and humane treatment of livestock and honest business dealings. It also educates chefs and other meat buyers because food knowledge is often lost when distribution becomes such a major industry. Those preparing the food do not know where it comes from or how to prepare it properly.

The company is working with Canada Beef to introduce marketing information and training in the hopes that meat buyers will develop brand loyalty.

MCF | AWARENESS

Deadly bison virus lacks research: veterinarian Lambs considered main source | Studies show the virus can be transmitted from sheep feedlots up to 10 kilometres away

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A Saskatchewan veterinarian says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time industry and government took a closer look at a disease carried by sheep that is fatal in bison.

Laboratory tests have confirmed that malignant catarrhal fever has claimed at least 19 animals in the RJ Game Farm herd near Fairlight, Sask., in the last few years.

Co-owner Robert Johnson suspects MCF in at least 20 more suspicious deaths.

Dr. Clarke Hill, the veterinarian for both the bison herd and a neighbouring sheep flock, disputes the cited literature that suggests only three or four cases of MCF are found a year in Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had more than that last month off RJ Game Farms,â&#x20AC;? he said.

MCF is a herpes virus carried by sheep and shed through respiratory secretions. Sheep carry the virus for life but are unaffected. Six- to eightmonth-old lambs are thought to be the main source of MCF because they shed large amounts of the virus.

The problem at the bison farm began several years ago and is compounded by personality conflicts of the people involved.

However, Hill said both the bison

Sheep and lambs can carry MCF without showing effects, but the disease can be transmitted to bison with deadly results. | and sheep industries have to address it.

A recently released video produced to educate producers says there are

only a handful of cases each year, and Hill said that might make producers think they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have to worry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bigger problem than

what Saskatchewan livestock and some of these producers think there is,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to the provincial agriculture ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s livestock branch.

Research on MCF is not extensive, and no one really knows how far apart the two species should be to keep the bison safe.

The sheep near RJ Game Farm are two to three kilometres away.

Johnson and his father-in-law, Ryan Clark, have unsuccessfully tried to force the provincial Agricultural Operations Review Board to hear his concerns.

In 2011, then agriculture minister Bob Bjornerud appointed a task force to examine the issue. It recommended the province establish a notifiable disease list, conduct research into how far apart bison and sheep should be and undertake an education and awareness program.

The ministry said last week it continues to consult on the notifiable disease list.

In 2012, it announced $300,000 in research funding over three years and said $50,000 per year goes to the Western College of Veterinary Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease investigation unit.

It also provided money for education and awareness as well as the video.

Hill said he finds himself between a rock and a hard place because while at times Johnson and Clark might have exaggerated the problem to get their point across, the deaths really are occurring.

The more post mortems he does, and the more lab samples taken, the more positives show up.

He said he takes precautions and carefully documents when he has been on the sheep farm so that the bison producers are aware.

However, he really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether that matters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a whole lot of solutions for them because the disease itself is not that well known,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moving the sheep far away would definitely decrease the chance of the problem, but how far nobody knows.â&#x20AC;?

DR. CLARKE HILL VETERINARIAN

Research has shown that MCF can be transmitted about 10 km in feedlot situations where the sheep would shed the disease at higher rates.

However, Hill said the sheep farm at Fairlight is a 200-lamb operation.

He said veterinarians and others assumed that two to three km would be far enough when the sheep were first placed in the area, but bison still died.

Hill said it is known that animals under stress can cause and contract MCF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Number one, bison is a wild animal, so when are they not stressed?â&#x20AC;? he said.

Sheep are stressed when lambing, at weaning and if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been sheared or sheared properly.

RJ Game Farm is a fairly intensive bison operation, which could also be a factor.

Hill said the number of cases has recently gone up, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if the cause was the heat, the moisture or nothing different at all.

He said some bison and sheep producers have been known to happily co-exist fairly close by, but the sheep may not be carriers or the stocking rates of both species might be the deciding factor.

In any event, he said the industries and government canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push MCF aside.

The government has said it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell people they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t farm their land, but Hill said something has to be done if what one farmer does costs a neigbour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a multifaceted issue here,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I knew the cause (of losses) and that it could be prevented, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want something done about it.â&#x20AC;?

ANIMAL WELFARE | PUBLIC IMAGE

Would your farm portray a positive image on YouTube?

ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

If it is not something you want others seeing, it shouldn’t be happening

A

n animal rights group recently released a video taken with a hidden camera on a dairy farm in New Mexico.

The images from Mercy for Animals showed workers beating cows with chains, using electric prods on the genitals of cattle and dragging cattle that couldn’t walk behind a tractor.

The images were shown on every television news show that night and authorities quickly closed the farm, stopped milk shipments and moved the cows to other farms.

The actions of the employees on this dairy farm could not be condoned by any reasonable person.

These were actions of outright animal cruelty and cannot be justified for any reason.

I believe these cases are not widespread, but they do occur and they paint a terrible picture of the livestock industry for the public.

As a livestock industry, we need to be proactive in preventing these problems from occurring.

This does not mean we shouldn’t allow cameras on our farms. On the contrary, we should be comfortable having anything that happens on our farm, ranch or feedlot recorded on

video. This means making animal welfare a priority with everyone on the farm, including all of our employees.

I know that many of the larger feedlots in Western Canada already have animal welfare protocols in place and work with their veterinarians to train staff in appropriate animal welfare practices.

We have an updated code of practice for beef and dairy cattle that can serve as a great starting point for having these conversations with employees and helping veterinarians and producers design animal welfare protocols.

Non-ambulatory or downer cows are among the most common problems seen on these animal abuse videos.

Occasionally, animals that are injured or unable to rise need to be dealt with in a humane manner.

They need to be in a well-bedded environment and have feed and water within reach. It is extremely difficult to move these animals in a humane fashion. Never drag them, but if they need to be moved, use a sled or sling or roll them gently into the large bucket of a front-end loader.

Downer animals should also be provided shelter or protection from weather. They should be assessed by a veterinarian and a decision made on the prognosis of that animal.

Humane euthanasia may be necessary and should be carried out in a timely manner.

The most common cause of downer animals are when lame, thin or sick animals are sent to market for slaughter.

In some cases, these animals arrive at an auction market, are sold and may spend another week wait-

Dr. Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein of Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge research centre showed in the October 2012 edition of the Journal of Animal Science that Canadian market cows are 13 times as likely to become downers or die in transit than fat cattle.

Extremely thin cows are also at a

major risk of becoming downers, especially during transport.

Maintain body condition on your cows with good nutrition and management. Body condition score your cows regularly, divide the herd into management groups based on age or body condition score and test your feed quality so that you can design an appropriate ration for each group.

Cattle should be culled before they

become too thin to travel humanely.

We need to continually work together to demonstrate that most producers truly care about the animals in their care.

In a world where nothing can be hidden, we’d better have nothing to hide.

CWB to begin construction on 34,000 tonne elevator in Manitoba CGC reminds

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CWB is building another new elevator, this one at Ste Adolphe, Man., about 30 kilometres south of Winnipeg.

The elevator will be a 34,000 tonne facility located a kilometre off Highway 75. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Red River Valley includes some of the most fertile, high-producing lands on the Prairies,â&#x20AC;? said CWB president Ian White. â&#x20AC;&#x153;CWB is looking forward to putting down roots in the community with another modern, efficient and easily accessible elevator. We are excited to bring our world-class customer service and international brand to the

area, while at the same time providing more choice to farmers.â&#x20AC;?

CWB has amassed an impressive collection of grain handling assets over the past year.

Facilities now under the CWB banner include: â&#x20AC;˘ Mission Terminal at Thunder Bay and its associated assets, purchased from Upper Lakes Group Inc. for an undisclosed amount â&#x20AC;˘ Prairie West Terminal and its associated assets, purchased for $43 million â&#x20AC;˘ Great Sandhills Terminal and its associated assets, purchased for $17.6 million â&#x20AC;˘ elevators under construction at Colonsay, Sask., Bloom, Man., and Pasqua, Sask.

THE FACILITY WILL LOAD UP TO

160,000 TONNES PER HOUR The facility at Ste. Adolphe is the fourth construction project that CWB has announced in the past year. It is scheduled to open in early 2016. The geotechnical survey has been completed, and construction is scheduled to begin in mid-October.

The facility will feature a 134-car loop track and will have a loading rate of up to 1,600 tonnes per hour.

The elevator will have access to

Canadian National Railway and BNSF Railway, providing CWB with rail access to its Thunder Bay terminal as well as to western ports and U.S. and Mexican destinations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we continue to build a strong and integrated position in the grain handling supply chain, we create a stronger value proposition for farmers that choose CWB as their marketing partner, a partnership that includes an opportunity for an ongoing farmer ownership stake in CWB through our Farmer Equity Plan,â&#x20AC;? said White in a news release.

By law, the CWB must submit a commercialization plan to the federal agriculture minister by July 31, 2016. If the plan is approved, it must be executed by July 31, 2017.

farmers of grading review service

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian Grain Commission is reminding farmers that disputes over grain grades offered at the elevator can be settled quickly and inexpensively through the Subject to Inspectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grade and Dockage service.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late harvest, combined with variable weather conditions across much of the West, means grades for most crop types are all over the map.

Disputes over grade are usually more common in years when crop quality is variable, says the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Daryl Beswitherick.

Farmers who disagree with the grades they receive at the elevator can ask the commission to review them. The commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade rulings are binding and are usually returned in a few days.

The service costs around $50. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If producers go to deliver a load of grain into a primary elevator â&#x20AC;Ś and they disagree with the grade, dockage, protein or moisture on that sample, they can request that the primary elevator send a sample to the Canadian Grain Commission for an official grade or an official ruling,â&#x20AC;?

Beswitherick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only thing is that they (the producer and the elevator agent) have to agree on is that the sample they take is representative of that load.â&#x20AC;?

Producers should have their loads sampled before they unload to ensure the sample is accurate.

Growers should also ensure that the elevator examines every sample and offers a grade before the load is dumped.

If time permits, growers should consider sending samples to a third party lab before they make deliveries.

Waiting until the last minute for grain to be graded can be frustrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This time of year, somehow, they (the elevators) always seem to grade hard,â&#x20AC;? said Earl Kovach, a grain grower at Kipling, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost expected that way.â&#x20AC;?

Beswitherick said samples sent by courier to a CGC service centre normally arrive the following day.

Commission inspectors will normally issue their rulings on grade, dockage, moisture and protein content within a couple of days.

CGCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official ruling is returned to the elevator and the producer.

Land sales have slowed in Saskatchewan, but farmland in Alberta is still a hot commodity and prices continue to rise. | FILE PHOTO FARMLAND | PRICES

Cheaper grain hurts land demand Saskatchewan first affected | Alberta and Ontario prices remain strong and are expected to rise

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Despite the explosion in farmland values in recent years, Saskatchewan remains home to some of the cheapest prices in Western Canada.

It’s also the first province to feel the effects of softening commodity markets and tighter bottom lines on Prairie farms this year, according to a new report published by a real estate company operating in Canada.

“The sellers know that the prices aren’t crawling up like they were for the last couple of years,” said Wally Lorenz of Remax in the Battlefords, Sask.

Remax published the farmland price report, which surveys 20 Canadian communities, Sept. 30. Prices generally rose across the country, but gains were smaller than in recent years.

“Now (prices) are starting to level off and even starting to come back down a little as well. You don’t have as many buyers and you definitely don’t have as many sellers as we had a year ago,” said Lorenz.

Saskatchewan led all provinces in Farm Credit Canada’s most recent report on farmland values, rising 28.5 percent last year.

Total farm debt has also climbed in recent years, with Statistics Canada reporting the number at $78 billion across Canada in 2013, up $5 billion from the previous year.

In Lorenz’s region, what the report calls northwest and central west Saskatchewan, the market has shifted this year.

According to the report, prices have risen just $150 per acre in northwestern Saskatchewan with the number of sales declining and fewer owners looking to sell.

Lorenz said the market was pushed up by optimistic producers and outof-province investors when commodity prices were high. The advent of $9 per bushel canola or less has seen interest wane.

“Commodity prices (are) coming down, and if there is more land that comes onto the market, it’s going to be pretty limiting as to how many buyers can be out there,” he said. “ You’re seeing buyers buying smaller parcels, not the big parcels of land, too. They’re not capable of

doing that anymore. They’re adding on two, three quarters of land onto their … operation, not two or three sections that was happening there for two or three years.”

Farmland prices were cheapest in east-central Saskatchewan, where some pastures listed at $950 per acre and farmland at $1,150 to $1,350 per acre.

The report pegs Alberta and a few locations in Ontario as the only regions of the country where farmland prices are expected to grow significantly over the next year. Stable prices or moderate growth are forecast everywhere else.

“It didn’t (affect sales in our area).

We are having a problem here with a shortage of land for sale, not a shortage of buyers,” said Allan Fox, an agent in Lethbridge whose region has seen similar dynamics over the

past several years.

In southern Alberta, land prices vary from $1,000 to $10,000 per acre, according to the report, up from $800 to $8,500 the previous year. Premium prices are paid for irrigated and tile drained land, but the greatest demand is for dry land.

Prices were not that high in central Alberta but still higher than what’s seen elsewhere on the Prairies. The report links the demand to expanding farms and interest from buyers looking for recreational land.

“If I get a quarter (section), I can sell it. If I get a half, I can sell it. If I can get bigger acres, I can sell it,” said Fox. “Right now, the price of grain is starting to fall, so therefore you’d think that’d slow things down, but it hasn’t.”

A rebounding cattle sector has also seen renewed interest in grassland, with prices spanning $1,000 to $1,500 per acre.

Lorenz said falling commodity prices could squeeze farmers’ bottom lines and force some of them to sell land to free up some cash.

“Right now, anybody that’s moving ahead and doing buying, they’re very astute managers that have got their operation in order,” he said.

“They know, day to day, where they’re at with their business.…

You’ve got to run it like a real hardcore business.”

Agrium falls short (Reuters) — Canadian fertilizer producer Agrium Inc. expects thirdquarter earnings from continuing operations of 45 cents to 55 cents per share, falling short of Wall Street expectations of 68 cents.

Two of Agrium’s major production facilities are offline, but the company said stronger results from nitrogen sales would offset the impact.

The Vanscoy, Sask., potash mine has halted production, so the company can tie in an expansion project.

Agrium’s Redwater, Alta., nitrogen plant is down for replacement of a major piece of equipment.

SASKATCHEWAN TRADE | ASIA

Sask. eager to boost Asian trade, investment Less reliant on U.S. | The government wants to promote value-added agriculture and open doors to partnerships

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan should triple its exports to Asia by 2020, says a report presented to premier Brad Wall Sept. 30.

The eight-member SaskatchewanAsia Advisory Council released 45 recommendations as part of its mandate to advise the province on how best to meet trade expansion goals.

In 2013, Saskatchewan exported a record $6.6 billion of products to Asia.

However, the council said there is still a lot of untapped potential in the region.

Agricultural products are a significant part of the current trade. One recommendation is to increase the value-added sector at home to position Saskatchewan as a leader in food security and innovation and attract more investment from Asia.

The council said the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre and similar facilities should be enhanced to increase value-added capacity.

It said the government should “fully understand” the impact of its current municipal tax rates, fees, levies and regulatory burdens on competitiveness and aim to be the best at attracting investment.

Council co-chair Grant Kook said Asian companies open up trade opportunities when they invest in Saskatchewan. “ The best way to interact and increase trade for small and medium sized businesses in Saskatchewan, which we know has to become less dependent on the United States in terms of broadening our export sales, is about the doors that they’d open in terms of moving commodities,” Kook said at a news conference.

“And the quickest way to do that is to have them invest in your company because then they have extreme alignment and motivation to find those buyers of our products in Asian

BRAD WALL SASKATCHEWAN PREMIER

countries, which we know is growing exponentially.”

Wall noted companies such as Agrocorp International of Singapore, which built a plant in Moose Jaw after a trade trip by Saskatchewan officials.

He said he has asked the agriculture minister and officials to be on the lookout for similar opportunities.

“We want to improve our presence sort of upstream on the value-added part of agriculture,” Wall said.

It isn’t good enough to ask others to come and invest, he added. They need specific details about opportunities.

The council also recommended identifying and developing project proposals for at least 10 major investment opportunities, increasing Asian awareness in Saskatchewan schools and better promoting immigrant populations and their contributions.

The premier said the government will issue a more formal response to the recommendations within four months.

WEATHERING THE STORM | TAKING STEPS TO COPE WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH

Managing through difficult times requires goals and vision PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

W

e had an excellent discussion recently in a class I’m teaching at the University of Manitoba when I asked students what could be done to help manage through difficult situations.

Good times are generally not a problem, not because problems don’t exist then but because good times tend to mask the underlying issues.

Problems and challenges arise when things become difficult.

Management experts say that working toward a defined future helps work through difficult situations.

The power of having a common goal or shared vision cannot be overstated. I’ve witnessed families successfully manage through extremely difficult situations because they had a common understanding of what they were working toward.

In the absence of having a common understanding, human nature causes people to work toward what they individually think the purpose is or the outcomes should be. It is not effective for more than one person to work toward what they think the future should be.

In the worst-case scenario it can be destructive to the business and personal relationships.

The problems associated with individual agendas are compounded when dealing with difficult situations. Stress, anger, conflict, confrontation generally rise to the surface.

There can be no guarantees of success or exact recipes for working through difficult situations, but it clearly helps to have everybody on the same page.

There are three complementary and effective things that can be done to get people on the same page.

SET GOALS

specific actions to work toward.

This is one of the simplest and yet most effective things that can be done to get people working together.

The goals need to be written down to make them more valid. They need to be discussed and shared with others in the family and in the business.

By knowing what people hope to achieve, and when, you know better where to concentrate efforts.

Each individual should set specific goals for themselves, the family and the farm business. Goals can have different timelines for achievement: current (one year), short term (five years) and longer term (10 years). There are no right or wrong goals. Goals should be reviewed annually.

USE GOALS AND VISION WHEN MAKING DECISIONS Goals and vision are worth defining because it involves discussing them within the family and referring to

them as the business is managed. It includes setting specific actions that are designed to accomplish goals and work toward the vision.

Having articulated goals and vision is beneficial in all circumstances, not just when times are tough.

However, a common understand-

ing that comes from having established goals and a vision can clearly be helpful when facing challenging situations.

WINTER...IT’S TIME FOR A SUBARU NO OTHER 4X4 or AWD CAN MATCH US ALL NEW 2015 OUTBACK & LEGACY

ESTABLISH A VISION A vision should state what the business owners and family want the farm to be like in the future. It provides meaning to the people in the business and in the work that they are doing.

There are technical and practical approaches to writing vision statements.

Technically, a vision statement should include three aspects, ideally in one or two short paragraphs: • a comment about the values that are the basis for the business • an envisioned future describing what the business will be like if it achieves its goals • an understanding of how the business serves its stakeholders, which could be family and community Practically, a vision statement can simply be: • where people see the farm and family in the future (usually five years) • how big will the farm be • what will be going on in the farm business • who will be involved • major accomplishments I think most families find writing a technically correct vision statement to be an abstract exercise. I find the practical approach is the most straightforward vision for families to define and is the easiest to develop
