200 QUICK FACTS

COYOTE

• This successfully adaptive animal can be found in all parts of North America except for southeastern Florida, western Alaska and the Arctic tundra.

CONTROL

• Main diet is small rodents, but coyotes also eat berries, grass and road kill.

They’re the bane of many sheep producers across the Prairies. These intelligent, territorial animals can be difficult to discourage but there are ways to prevent livestock loss.

Records are being broken across the Prairies as feeder cattle sell for prices that are up 75 percent from a year earlier.

A combination of the lower Canadian dollar, lower feed prices and lower overall cattle numbers has sent calf prices skyward.

“It seems like everything has gone right for the cattle industry this year,” said Brian Perillat, senior market analyst for Canfax.

Young 550-pound steers born in spring are selling for $3 per pound compared to $1.60 a year ago.

“It’s phenomenal,” said Perillat, who points to a series of changes that created the strong market.

Most significant is Canada’s link to the U.S. market.

American cattle numbers continue to shrink with the smallest calf crop in 60 years, while drought has dried up traditional cattle producing areas and cheap American corn is creating ideal cattle feeding conditions.

“A lot of feeder cattle are going straight to Nebraska,” said Perillat.

“It’s more fun selling than buying them,” he said.

It was a good day for cattle producer Brad Corbiell of Cluny, Alta., who sold his Hereford cattle Oct. 21 at Balog Auction in Lethbridge.

“It’s really promising to have such strong prices. Hopefully, some of these ranchers can get back on their feet and some younger guys will think, ‘you know, this is pretty good,’ ” he said.

“We’ve got to take it when we can get it. As a producer, it’s a little bit spooky in a way because never in history have we had this high a price before. I guess we’re all optimists, but you’ve got to wonder how long it’s going to last. Hopefully, a long time.”

Record prices for cattle vices for the Canadian Angus Association, said 2014 has been a remarkable year for calf prices.

It’s not unheard of for a 700-lb. calf born in the spring to bring almost $1,900, up $700 to $800 from last year.

Producers are “in awe,” said Good, who travels across Alberta to cattle sales, talking to producers and promoting Angus.

“They’ve never been this high before. Talking to some of the old timers and they’re plumb excited,” he said.

“They’re almost doing cartwheels down the street when they leave the auction mart.… It’s just one of those darn good years. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Brent Weiss, an owner and auctioneer at Cowtown Livestock Exchange in Maple Creek, Sask., said cattle producers are “unbelievably happy” with this fall’s prices.

Producers can’t help but smile when they pick up the cheque after selling their calves.

Weiss said one stern-looking rancher picked up his cheque with his typical grim expression and walked out of the office, but returned soon after.

“He said, ‘there’s a problem with the cheque.…’ He said, ‘it’s about twice as much as I expected.’ ” Weiss said the rancher then smiled.

“I have never, ever seen prices like this.”

The Oct. 23 sale at Maple Creek, Sask., with 3,950 head brought in slightly more than $5.5 million, but two other sales that week had equally strong prices.

Black steers weighing 550 lb. were sold for $2.85 to $2.99 per lb. Another group of black 600 lb. steers sold for $2.71 to $2.75 per lb.

“Prices are very, very strong,” said Weiss.

Despite the strong prices, there is little talk from producers who previously sold their herds wanting to get back into the business.

Weiss said some producers are holding back good heifers for replacements, but not all of their heifers.

“There might be a few more calves being kept back because they have more money in their jeans.”

John Williamson, manager of the Mankota Stockmen’s Weigh Co., said 400 to 500 lb. steers recently sold for $3.70 a lb. at a Black Angus pre-sort sale.

Another group of 1,353 steers sold for $3.25 per lb.

“They were an exceptional group of Black Angus cattle,” said Williamson.

About 1,000 head went to a local feedlot, but the rest scattered in every direction.

Williamson said there have been herd dispersals because of the high

prices, but more importantly he hopes some producers will expand their herds or be enticed to get back into the cattle business.

“It gets tough to hold that heifer back when you’re getting $1,400 for her.”

Williamson believes markets will be strong for a number of years unless there is another outbreak like the BSE crisis of 2003, which sent markets tumbling.

“If you were in it, it was pretty tough sledding for a while,” he said.

“It’s a gut feeling that it’s going to be strong for a few years. Everybody is happy. It’s a good environment to be in. It makes paying the bills a lot easier.”

Dyce Bolduc of Stavely, Alta., recently hosted a satellite sale of 2,500 calves born from bulls originating from his herd but now owned by different customers.

Prices were $2.90 to $3 per lb., which equates to about $600 to $700 p e r h e a d m o re t ha n w hat w a s received a year ago.

“It’s a little like having a third more cows,” said Bolduc.

“The guys were really happy.”

Bolduc doesn’t expect the Canadian cow herd to grow just yet.

“Cows are a 365 day a year commitment. Getting back into the cow business is not easy.”

It’s a sentiment shared by Bob Prestage, a cattle exporter from Camrose.

“A lot of producers destroyed most of their fences when they sold the cows, they were so down in the dumps. I don’t see any changes in the next three to five years. There is still some apprehension,” he said.

“The problem we have is there is too much gray hair sitting around the tables.”

High prices have their own issues.

More money rolling through the auction market forced Weiss to secure a larger line of credit to ensure there was enough money in the bank when all the buyers and sellers deposit and draw money.

Perillat said cattle buyers’ normal line of credit no longer stretches as far.

“It’s hard sourcing enough capital to fill out a feedlot,” he said.

TRANSPORTATION | RAIL SHIPMENTS

Short-line railways ask Ottawa to change regulations Million-tonne-per-week directive has had disastrous consequences for short lines: SSRA

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Short-line railways in Saskatchewan want Ottawa to change federal regulations that require Canada’s two largest railway companies to move a million tonnes of grain per week.

Con Johnson, president of the Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association, said Ottawa’s million-tonneper-week directive has had disastrous consequences for short lines in the province.

To meet the weekly quotas imposed

by Ottawa and avoid federal fines, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway have developed a predictable response: haul grain from the most efficient main-line elevator locations and reduce service to smaller, more remote shippers, including shortline railway companies. “ T h e re g u l a t i o n s h av e t o b e changed drastically or removed all together,” said Johnson, whose organization met in Saskatoon last week to discuss rail service issues.

“I guess in a way, the regulations were well intended by government.

They were getting a lot of flack because grain wasn’t moving last winter, but I think they could have been thought out a bit better.”

The association predicted that CN and CP were going to “pick the low lying fruit first and that’s exactly what they did,” Johnson said.

“They picked the most efficient (concrete terminals) and the big centres to draw out of and they’ve given us what’s left over. It’s cost us a lot of money.”

Ottawa implemented the milliontonne-per-week directive earlier this year, hoping to get grain moving after a horrendous winter that saw the movement of prairie grain slow to a trickle.

The directive was renewed later in the year and is scheduled to remain in place until the end of November, at which time Ottawa will consider another extension.

The directive requires CN and CP to each move 536,000 tonnes of prairie grain per week or face federal fines as high as $100,000 per incident for non-compliance.

In September, Ottawa issued its first fine against CN, claiming the railway had failed to meet its obligations.

In response, CN suggested that demand for rail service from the western Canadian grain industry is no longer high enough to warrant mandatory volume requirements.

That explanation doesn’t sit well with short-line operators.

Many members of the short-line railway association are still facing rail car backlogs that number in the thousands of cars.

Last week, some association members were receiving rail cars that were scheduled to be filled with grain and shipped to market in early May.

“The biggest problem that I see is that our reputation and our credibility is really being hurt by this,” said Doug Tallon, a director with Fife Lake Railway, which owns 100 kilometres of track in southern Saskatchewan.

“With the change in the (single desk) marketing environment, we saw the opportunity for short lines to really capitalize on this. And it would have happened if we’d had access to reliable railway service,” he said.

“Our business could have easily doubled, so it was really frustrating to see that we were just shut out of the rail car supply.”

Saskatchewan short lines entered the post single desk era hoping to increase revenues by shipping grain directly to buyers in Canada and the United States.

However, executing those sales has proven difficult.

Short lines still rely on the big railway carriers to deliver empty rail cars to interchange locations.

Delivery of empty rail cars to short line interchanges has been sporadic since Ottawa put its million-tonneper-week mandate in place, said Tallon.

Some short line operators are months behind in filling their sales orders. Others don’t know from one week to the next whether they will be receiving cars or waiting.

Car delays are also causing shortterm cash flow problems, with some short lines beginning to wonder how they will cover routine operating expenses.

Uncertainty over rail car availability has also made it difficult to schedule train crews and grain deliveries from farmers.

Farmers who have made arrangements with custom truckers are often left in the lurch.

“It’s just a logistical nightmare,” said Tallon. “And it’s been going on for months now. I don’t know how we’ll catch up or get any credibility back as a reliable supplier.”

He said grain that would normally be moved on Fife Lake’s track is instead trucked by farmers to mainline elevator locations where rail car supplies are abundant.

The biggest grain shipper on Fife Lake Railway is still filling rail cars that were supposed to be shipped in mid-May. Meanwhile, main-line terminal operators at the Fife Lake–CN interchange near Assiniboia, Sask., are up-to-date and clamouring for grain to fill cars that are empty and waiting.

Johnson, vice-chair with Great Western Railway at Shaunavon, Sask., said that is a common scenario for his short line.

He said lack of reliable service to short-line railways is a key factor behind the startling price differential between high quality durum sold in Canada and the prices offered at U.S. locations just south of the border.

Explosion damages Yorkton canola crushing plant

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Operations at LDM Foods in Yorkton, Sask., have temporarily stopped after an explosion and fire at the canola crushing plant destroyed part of the meal storage area Oct. 24.

Just how that will affect growers and customers will depend on how long the plant remains out of commission, said Louis Dreyfus Commodities Canada Ltd. president Brant Randles.

“I think the most significant thing is we only had one minor injury, so we’re relieved,” he said Oct. 27.

“Then, it’s just a matter of time and money, but that’s really secondary to the safety of everybody on the site and the town knowing that everything is fine.”

Witnesses several kilometres away reported hearing the explosion around 8:30 a.m., followed by seeing

a tall plume of smoke.

Yorkton mayor Bob Maloney has suggested grain dust ignited.

Randles said the Yorkton fire department is still investigating, and the plant will remain closed until the cause is determined and the length of shut down assessed. The load-out area was also affected.

“There will be impacts in terms of deliveries,” he said. “We’re working with our farmers to reschedule, and every circumstance is different.”

SaskCanola chair Franck Groeneweg said he expected most of the impact would be limited to individual farmers or contracts, and the inability to deliver will affect cash flow.

He said the fact the problem occurred in a storage area suggests it could probably be fixed sooner and easier than if it had been in the crush area.

“I think we have a smaller crop up

there in general compared to last year,” he said.

“And our rail problems, I wouldn’t say exactly they have got fixed, but they are not what they were last year.

It all depends how long it will be shut down.”

Randles said most of the plant’s meal customers are large feed distributors, while the list of oil customers is extensive, including almost every U.S. state.

A damage estimate is not yet available, nor could Randles say how much product was in the storage area and subsequently lost to the fire.

LDM opened five years ago with capacity to crush 850,000 tonnes of canola.

Richardson International opened its similarly sized plant in the same city about six months later. A $30 million expansion that boosted capacity by 25 percent opened earlier this year.

HERBICIDES | RESISTANCE

Chem fallow adds to weed issues, says researcher Weed management | Herbicides on bare ground increase risk of glyphosate resistance

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There is one thing growers can do immediately to stem the tide of herbicide resistant weeds, says a weed expert.

“I would like to see chem fallow eliminated because it is a breeding ground for glyphosate resistance,” said Hugh Beckie, Agriculture Canada’s herbicide resistance expert.

Bad things happen when growers apply herbicide to bare ground, he said during a presentation at the 2014 Canola Discovery Forum and in a later interview following his speech.

“Your risk of glyphosate resistance in whatever weed increases dramatically, mainly because there’s no crop competition,” said Beckie.

Growers who chem fallow use high rates of herbicide multiple times throughout the year, which is another sure-fire way to promote resistance.

The amount of land chem fallowed every year is declining, but significant acres are still idle every year in places like southern Alberta and west-central Saskatchewan.

Part of the problem is that farms have become so large that growers can’t cover all the ground that needs to be seeded in spring. As a result, chem fallow remains a regular farming practice for some growers. For others, it is an emergency measure for unexpected events such as spring flooding.

Beckie would much prefer farmers to seed idle land to annual or perennial cover crops that can be planted well into June, long after the spring seeding season.

“There is a lot of research going on in terms of cover crops that can selfdestruct before they compete for moisture or nutrients in the next crop,” he said.

Annual or perennial crops dramatically reduce weed seed banks.

“If you can drive down the weed seed bank without herbicides, you’re way ahead of the game,” said Beckie.

A lot of growers feel that crop rotation is the best line of defense against resistant weeds.

Surveys reveal farmers are rotating four or more crops a lot more than they did in the 1990s, but growers shouldn’t be too quick to pat themselves on the back.

“You have to ask yourself, is that real crop diversity?” he said.

Farmers are just switching from one spring-seeded, cool season crop to another. They’re all planted at the same time, sprayed at the same time and harvested at the same time.

“I would argue that is not diversity,” said Beckie.

“We still have very few fall-seeded and perennial crops.”

A long-term study on cropping systems at Agriculture Canada’s Scott Research Farm in Saskatchewan has demonstrated that a diversified rota-

tion that incorporates a perennial crop such as alfalfa significantly reduced the level of wild oat herbicide resistance.

In fact, there was barely any resistance, even in a system where six applications of Group 1 herbicides were applied over an 18-year period.

By comparison, 42 percent of the wild oat population was resistant in a diversified grain rotation that had 10 applications of Group 1 herbicide over an 18-year period.

“This just demonstrates the impact of real crop diversity on resistance management,” said Beckie.

He recognizes that growers are reluctant to incorporate three years of alfalfa in a six-year rotation, but there needs to be some new approach to weed management other than continued reliance on herbicides.

“Worldwide, we’re really at a tipping point in terms of resistant weed management because we have an explosion of weeds that are resistant to multiple modes of action,” said Beckie.

More than 70 weeds are resistant to two or more modes of action, including wild oats in Western Canada, which are resistant to Group 1 and Group 2 herbicides.

As well, a new mode of action hasn’t been made available to farmers since 1982.

Beckie said short-term help is coming in the form of new genetically modified crops containing stacked traits. For instance, Dow AgroScience recently received U.S. Department of Agriculture approval for its Enlist corn and soybeans, which are tolerant to glyphosate and a new form of 2,4-D. However, he believes the stacked trait crops will eventually exacerbate the problem with multiple resistance.

“It’s not a long-term solution,” said Beckie.

“The long-term solution is we have to start reducing our herbicide use.”

He believes governments have a role to play in providing financial incentives for growers to adopt best management practices.

One best management practice for soil conservation is having a negative effect on weed resistance.

The move to no-till systems has facilitated weed resistance because weed seeds are concentrated near the soil surface rather than buried deep in the profile where they may not germinate.

The turnover rate from seed to weed is much faster in no-till systems, which leads to increased resistance.

As well, Beckie said the crops grown on those no-till fields are also contributing to the problem. Contrary to what seed technology companies preach, today’s GM canola crops use more herbicides than the non-GM crops grown in the 1990s, he added.

HERBICIDES | EFFICACY

Wild oats resistance could become next quandary for prairie farmers

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers will have a tough time battling the next glyphosate resistant weed, says an expert.

Wild oats is the most likely candidate to follow resistant kochia, according to a risk assessment model developed by Hugh Beckie, a weed scientist with Agriculture Canada.

The same model successfully forecast kochia as Western Canada’s first glyphosate resistant weed.

The forecast came out in 2010, one year before the weed was discovered in a field in southern Alberta. It has since been detected in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Kochia is the only glyphosate tolerant weed in Western Canada, but the U.S. experience suggests others are sure to follow.

“Wild oats resistant to glyphosate would be a worst-case scenario,” Beckie said in an interview following his presentation at the 2014 Canola Discovery Forum.

“It’s really resistant to everything out there already. If you lose the efficacy of glyphosate, you really restrict your herbicide options to control that weed.”

Wild oats has a resistance risk assessment rating of 9.99 in the brown and dark brown soil zones (grassland region) and 7.83 in the black and grey soil zones (parkland region).

It is followed by green foxtail with a 6.54 rating in the grassland and 4.09 rating in the parkland.

Cleavers are expected to be a close third in the parkland with a 4.05 rating. Wild buckwheat is the fourth likeliest candidate in the parkland at 3.01 and the third likeliest in the grassland at 2.71.

Beckie said wild buckwheat’s risk rating will rise dramatically with the antici-

pated 2016 introduction of Monsanto’s TruFlex Roundup Ready canola.

Wild buckwheat is more tolerant to glyphosate than other annual weeds.

It is hard to control at today’s recommended application rates.

TruFlex canola will allow growers to use higher rates of the chemical over a wider window of application.

Monsanto’s new Roundup Ready trait will make the weed more susceptible to the most popular herbicide used in Western Canada, but it will also increase resistance selection pressure in weed populations.

“The risk rate is going to increase substantially, and it is our most abundant weed, so that’s one to watch,” said Beckie.

Joe Vink, weed management technical lead with Monsanto Canada, doesn’t think higher rates of herbicide and a longer window of application will result in glyphosate resistant buckwheat.

“I don’t think that necessarily drives the evolution of glyphosate resistance,” he said.

“For me, it’s more the frequency of application and just total over-reli-

ance on one herbicide mode of action.”

Vink said growers need to use best management practices such as crop diversification and tank mixing to combat the resistance problem.

“It would be really, really nice if we had other herbicides available in canola to tank mix with Roundup Ready, but there are very limited options at this point,” he said.

Beckie said the last new herbicide mode of action was 32 years ago and a new one is at least another 10 years away.

Canola has been a key weapon in combatting weed resistance in Western Canada. Canola hybrids are good at fighting weeds, and the herbicides used on canola contain two modes of action that are not used widely in other crops: glyphosate and glufosinate.

Glyphosate resistance is a serious threat to western Canadian crop production because growers rely so heavily on the chemical. More glyphosate was sold in Western Canada in 2012 than the next 12 most popular active ingredients combined.

CWB PRIVATIZATION | FARMER EQUITY

CWB assures farmers of role in privatized firm Corporate partner | Company denies it is selling assets to the highest bidder

Science educators challenge activists Group aims to help educators find accurate sources

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

High school science teachers, university professors and researchers are starting to realize that it is probably up to them to defend genetically modified crops and other modern innovations.

Science educators and experts are taking the issue seriously after years of activists being allowed to dominate the public debates that rage around food and agriculture.

“Information is changing almost daily. It’s imperative that teachers are well-informed about where they’re getting their information,” said George Valentim, head of the Science Teachers Association of Manitoba.

“Too much information may be a problem in many cases.… You can look up all these things and you’re bombarded by all these websites and people who claim to understand what this all means.”

Valentim’s group, which is a volunteer association of science teachers, spent a recent in-service day discussing science education in Manitoba schools, including meeting with Kevin Folta, a University of Florida agriculture scientist who is a leading defender of GMOs and other modern innovations that have revolutionized agriculture.

Folta said activists and opponents often knowingly misrepresent the truth about science in agriculture and food, but face little resistance from informed educators and scientists.

This is partly because the science is complex and hard to explain.

“There’s a tremendous learning curve,” said Folta, who was brought to Manitoba by the Manitoba Canola Growers Association.

“This is a very dense literature. If you’re going to talk about anything in science, you have to go out and have a very strong background of understanding of the evidence, the literature that is underlying it.”

Anti-GMO activists don’t have that problem.

“You don’t have to have evidence and a lot of understanding of com-

prehensive data and explanation to make some of the claims that others are making,” he said.

“The anti side can say pretty much whatever they want.”

The evening before meeting with the science teachers, Folta spoke to dieticians and foodies at the University of Manitoba’s Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals about the challenges of combating false information about GMOs and other food and agriculture innovations.

Valentim said his organization helps the provincial education department ensure that the science curriculum is effectively delivered to students. That means helping teachers find online sources of accurate information rather than the mass of questionable sources on hot-button topics.

“It’s up to our Manitoba curriculums to find some positive websites that teachers can turn to,” he said.

Local experts can also be engaged when questions arise, he added.

“We look for useful sources like our own University of Manitoba agriculture faculty.”

Folta said few scientists like him are willing to wade into the furious disputes over GMOs and other sciencein-agriculture topics, but he thinks more will now that activists have created so much public fear.

“I think what you are seeing is an awakening of scientists who are disturbed by the misrepresentation of science by anti-GMO types, by the people who go out and say their food is poison,” said Folta.

“And it really does stir scientists in a bad way, and it’s getting us excited about going out and engaging activists about the truth, and you’ll see more and more people going out and doing it.”

Western Canadian farmers will have an ownership stake in CWB after it is privatized, regardless of which company is selected as the company’s preferred privatization partner.

CWB chief strategy officer Dayna Spiring said company executives are exploring all opportunities aimed at developing a strong grain company.

The owners of that company will include farmers who have acquired CWB equity through its $5 per tonne equity offer.

Spiring made the comments last week, just days before Farmers of North America announced that its bid to acquire an ownership stake in CWB had failed.

“We want farmers to have equity in the CWB,” Spiring said.

“Regardless of who our ultimate investor is, farmers are going to play a role in this organization.”

CWB executives are talking with a number of companies interested in partnering with the CWB, Spiring said.

Efforts aimed at identifying a corporate partner began in 2012, shortly after CWB learned it would be required to submit a privatization plan to the federal government.

By law, CWB officials must identify a corporate partner, submit a priva-

tization plan to Ottawa and, pending government approval, execute their plan before Aug. 1, 2017.

Spiring denied suggestions that CWB has fast-tracked the privatization process.

“There’s a lot of talk right now about how this process has been fast-tracked … and I know there are … certain parties out there that feel they don’t have enough time (to put a proposal together),” she said.

“I have trouble with that. There’s nothing new in this process. We knew with this legislation in August 2012 that we had to privatize … and we’ve also said for a number of years now that we intend to do that far in advance of those (legislated) timelines. Nothing has changed in that.”

FNA officials spoke with CWB about the privatization process in early 2013 and FNA officials then expressed their views that farmers should be given an opportunity to gain controlling interest in the privatized company, she said.

“I’m surprised that they now think there’s a new timetable and that they’re out of time.”

FNA issued a news release on Oct. 27 announcing that their bid to acquire CWB had been rejected by CWB management.

FNA president Jim Mann said his company still believes that farmers will build their own farmer-owned grain and fertilizer company.

CWB did not immediately respond to the FNA announcement but Spiring said last week that FNA had as much time as anyone to put a proposal together.

Spiring also said rumours suggesting that CWB is “selling off” its assets to the highest bidder are false.

She said the company is looking for a corporate partner that has complementary assets, relevant expertise and a pool of investment capital that will allow CWB to expand the company and contribute to a more competitive grain handling environment.

“Particularly, we’re looking at companies or investors that have some experience in grain handling because that has not historically been one of the skills of the CWB. We’re a great marketer. We know Canadian grain probably better than anyone else on the planet, but we don’t have the same experience operating grain handling facilities as a lot of our competitors do.”

Financial capability will also be key, she said.

The preferred partner must have the financial wherewithal to invest in CWB and build a competitive network of grain handling facilities.

“I think there’s a lot of concern and a lot of hangups — unnecessarily — around whether the investors are Canadian, or American, or multinationals or whatever they are,” she said.

Better wheat basis surprises analysts Milling wheat | Price rally for high quality grain is expected to continue following poor 2014 harvest

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The basis for top quality spring wheat has tightened in a big way and likely has further to go, say analysts.

“We’re seeing as high as $22 a tonne over Minneapolis futures,” said Derek Squair, president of Agri-Trend Marketing.

That is a far cry from the mid-winter lows for No. 1 Canada Western Red Spring 13 percent protein of $62 per tonne under the futures.

Squair said the dramatic turnaround in basis levels for top quality spring wheat is because of the poor quality of this year’s crop and strong

global demand for good quality milling wheat.

He believes basis levels will improve further in winter as harvest deliveries subside and there is less harvest pressure on the transportation system.

“They could probably go to $40 over,” said Squair.

“There needs to be an asterisk beside that (comment) because if futures go higher, then they don’t need to prop up the basis as much.”

The sudden improvement in basis levels caught CWB weather and crops specialist Bruce Burnett off guard.

“These basis levels have surprised me because I thought in the fall peri-

od we would still see some harvest pressure,” he said.

However, he agreed with Squair that basis levels are likely to continue strengthening.

“For high quality, high protein wheat, we probably have a way to go yet before this rally is done,” he said.

Rail transportation is the big wild card. The system is moving fluidly right now, but basis levels could soften if it bogs down again in winter.

Squair believes there is room for improvement in spring wheat futures values because of the shortfall of good quality crop.

“We feel that Chicago will stay lower, but there might be a little bit of a pre-

mium in the Minneapolis and Kansas City wheat futures because we’re so short in quality wheat in the world.”

However, he doesn’t expect a big rally in spring wheat futures because of the overabundance of global wheat, corn and soybean supplies, so the basis will likely do most of the heavy lifting.

The disparity with levels in the United States is another factor pointing to continued improvement in the basis levels in Western Canada.

“We’re still not as good as the U.S. market. Basis levels in the U.S. are $60 over,” said Squair.

Those values should arbitrage over time as long as there isn’t a repeat of

last year’s rail logistics logjam.

“We should see better basis levels as we go (forward) to even out the spread between Canada and the U.S.,” he said.

Squair said basis levels are not tightening up for all grades of spring wheat. The feed wheat basis has widened out quite a bit because of the plethora of downgrading factors with this year’s crop.

The basis for No. 3 wheat is pretty good because processors can still work with frost damaged product or crop with high levels of hard-vitreous kernels. However, the discounts widen if the No. 3 wheat has high levels of vomitoxin.

HARVEST | CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION

Lentil quality report misses mark Different numbers | Marketers say crop quality is lower than CGC data indicates

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Lentil processors say the Canadian Grain Commission is leaving international buyers with the mistaken impression that this year’s lentil crop is of normal quality.

The commission released a preliminary quality data report that indicates 90 percent of the lentil crop was No. 2 or better based on 145 harvest samples analyzed as of Oct. 15.

That isn’t even close to reality, said Greg Simpson, president of Simpson Seeds. He believes the proportion of the crop in the top two grades is even below Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Sept. 18 estimate of 39 percent.

He said it is reckless for the commission to release that kind of unrepresentative data.

“I just think it was wrong for them to come out with a stat so early without having a sufficient sampling,” he said.

“They just couldn’t have captured the real grade out there.”

His company has analyzed thousands of samples, which indicate there was a quality wreck with the 2014 lentil crop.

Simpson wasn’t willing to divulge how many of those samples were No. 1 or No. 2 quality for competitive reasons, but the company’s sales force

Traders dispute a Canadian Grain Commission lentil quality report, saying the sample size is too small to be representative. | FILE PHOTO was at a food exhibition in Paris last week warning buyers to lower their expectations.

Anthony Kulbacki, chief operating officer of Legumex Walker’s special crops division, estimates that only 25 to 30 percent of this year’s harvest will be No. 2 or better.

“The vast majority of the lentils that we’re seeing fall in that Extra 3 or 3 categories,” he said.

This year’s crop will require more processing than usual, but it is marketable, and there should be sufficient global demand for the product.

“We’ll get through this year. I don’t think it’s as challenging as 2010,” said Kulbacki.

He encouraged growers to deal with big processors that have the equipment and sales channels to

deal with poor quality product.

Daryl Beswitherick, quality program manager at the grain commission, acknowledged there are flaws with the volunteer harvest sampling program.

“Sometimes our numbers could be out,” he said.

Beswitherick said the Oct. 15 report was the commission’s first stab at assessing lentil quality. New data already suggests quality is dropping, with about 60 percent in the No. 2 or better categories.

That is still about twice as much as the trade estimate, which is based on much larger sample sizes. The grain commission isn’t disputing the trade findings.

“The number of (CGC) samples is low. We would like to see a lot more

samples, but it is what we’ve received to date,” said Beswitherick.

Simpson said the trade is increasingly distancing itself from the commission when it deals with buyers.

“They’ve lost a lot of credibility, especially when they come out with reports like that,” he said.

“At the end of the day, the grain commission doesn’t stroke a cheque.

We’re the ones that write the cheques to farmers and we’re the ones that have to take the risk of marketing what we buy from farmers internationally, and I tell you what, you better get it right.”

Simpson agreed with Kulbacki that crop quality isn’t as bad as it was in 2010. He feels the trade will be able to sell the entire 1.7 million tonne crop over the next 12 months.

Processors have a lot of experience marketing poor quality lentils from years like 2010, 2004 and 2002.

Grade specifications have been tightened for No. 2 or better red lentils, so there shouldn’t be any big surprises for buyers.

Kulbacki thinks more work needs to be done developing standards that deal with wrinkled seed coats on green lentils.

“I don’t think that the grading or the standards from the CGC are as well developed in that area as they should be,” he said.

Simpson expects growers holding good quality lentils will delay delivery as they wait for prices to rise. That can be a dangerous strategy, he added.

“In this time right now of discovery of price and quality, that’s the most volatile time, and that’s sometimes the best opportunity for people to market the product,” said Simpson.

He said he has noticed during his 35 years in the business that farmers don’t always respond to price signals the way he would expect.

“If you raise the bid, why do you buy less, and if you drop the price, you buy more? Typically that’s our experience,” he said.

Simpson said today’s prices are attractive. No. 2 or better red lentils were selling for 30 cents per pound last week, while No. 1 large green lentils were fetching 36 cents and No. 2s were in the 31 to 33 cent range.

“These values will probably stay pretty much in place through the season,” he said.

Buyers will switch to other sources of vegetable protein if lentils get too pricey.

Assumptions about food supply and demand challenged

T

his year’s Cereals North America conference, coverage of which you can get on our website at www.producer.com, was set to deal with lots of perennial grain industry issues: rail logistics, international trade, supply, demand and weather.

The conference was scheduled for Oct. 28-30 in Winnipeg.

There’s nothing new in these broad subject areas, but I’ll be listening for analysts’ takes on the crucial change that’s happened in the crop and com-

modity markets in the past year: the death of the long-term commodity bull market.

If it’s dead, what does that mean for the crop price outlook for the coming years? It’s pretty bad right now, creating financial losses for farmers who had enjoyed record returns for most years since 2006.

Our cherished notions of everexpanding food demand leading to always-high prices have been shattered by the sell off since late 2012.

The fear in the market has switched from buyers worrying about adequate supply to sellers worrying about their big crops drowning limited demand.

It’s a sea change.

Conference organizer Dan Basse of AgResource Co. titled his speech: “Too much, too soon,” and I’m guessing that this implies he’s going to say world demand for food will continue to grow, but the massive crops produced this year far outstrip the gradual increase.

Bloomberg News published a story Oct. 27 headlined: Commodities drop to five-year low led by gasoline, sugar.

That’s the backdrop for what we’re dealing with in western Canadian farming, providing a bearish outlook for at least a couple of years.

Canadian agriculture has its own problems: rail service issues and distortions of grain flow caused by new federal regulations; continuing realignment of the prairie grain trade in the wake of he CWB’s loss of marketing monopoly; and the challenges of adding large acreages of soybeans and corn in an industry not designed to deal with them.

SEEDING | ANALYSIS

Lack of rain hurts Russian wheat crop MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

W

h a t w i t h t h e t e r ro r i s t shootings in Canada, the Islamic State crisis in the Middle East and Ebola in West Africa dominating the headlines, the Ukraine-Russia conflict is getting little attention.

When the tensions there were soaring last spring, analysts predicted the financial disruptions would lead to reduced investment in seeding and smaller crops.

I pointed out that the winter wheat crops had already been seeded and the violence and financial problems would affect only spring-seeded crops, particularly corn.

Ukraine’s corn crop did fall, to about 25 million tonnes from almost 31 million the previous year, contributing almost all the reduction in the former Soviet Union region to 40.7 million tonnes, from 46.9 million the previous year.

However, the wheat crop in Ukraine

at 24.5 million was the second largest ever, and Russia produced its third largest harvest at 59 million tonnes.

Exports from Ukraine this crop year are brisk. Russia’s exports were limited for a short period because its prices were higher than France, but its prices are again in line with the world market.

Looking ahead, weather has become a bigger threat to the region’s crops than politics, violence and economic hardship.

Winter wheat seeding in both countries is wrapping up. Conditions this autumn are fine in Ukraine, but soil in large parts of Russia is dry.

Analyst SovEcon said late last week that the current condition is worse than in the fall of 2009, when continuing dry weather, particularly a hot, dry spring in 2010, led to a harvest that was, at 41.5 million tonnes, down about 30 percent from the previous year.

SovEcon is predicting that the crop to be harvested next year could be as much as 15 percent smaller than this year’s crop.

It said the dryness had led to weak plants that are more susceptible to winter kill. Also, frosts hit in some areas before wheat fields had moved into dormancy.

Overall grain production could fall

Russian winter wheat conditions appear worse than in 2009, which was the beginning of a year-long drought that slashed crop yields and sparked wildfires. | REUTERS PHOTO below 90 million tonnes from about 105 million this year, and the wheat crop could be less than 50 million tonnes, or about nine million tonnes less than this year.

The drought of 2009-10 lasted through winter into spring and summer.

Chicago wheat futures did not react until June 2010, jumping from about $4.50 per bushel to about $6.50.

Then on Aug. 5, the Russian government announced it would ban exports until the end of the calendar year. Chicago wheat futures in

August rallied as high as $8.40. Prices stayed around $7.50 for most of the crop year.

Canada and Australia also had crop problems in 2010, which also helped support the price. And corn was in short supply, which kept a solid foundation under prices.

Russia’s weather troubles this autumn are not a guarantee of a poor harvest next summer.

Wheat is resilient, and good spring weather could generate a strong crop.

But this is the first potentially seri-

ous global production problem to arise in more than a year. Weather this year has created quality problems, but overall yields have been strong.

The Russian situation is unlikely to have much impact while the crop is dormant.

We’ll have to wait until next spring when the crop comes out of winter d o r ma n c y a n d d a mag e c a n b e assessed and growing weather monitored.

BEIJING (Reuters) — China will strengthen control over grain imports and crack down on illegal activities such as smuggling in a bid to cut oversupply, China’s vice-premier said last week.

Record stockpiles are creating storage problems for the new harvest.

China’s stockpiling policy, under which it buys from farmers at inflated prices, has made cheaper overseas supplies more attractive for end users such as feed mills, forcing the government to take action to try to curb surging imports.

“We will strengthen import and export controls for grains while severely cracking down on irregularities like smuggling in order to stabilize the domestic market,” vicepremier Wang Yang said at a national conference.

China’s rejection of cheap U.S. corn cargoes on the grounds that it contained a genetically modified strain not permitted for import was also seen as part of Beijing’s efforts to curb cheap imports and support domestic corn prices.

However, buyers in the world’s second largest corn consumer have turned to non-traditional exporters, including Bulgaria and Ukraine, to fill the gap following the restrictions on U.S. supplies. There has also been an increase in smuggling. “ The wide price gap between domestic and overseas markets has spurred an increase in grains im-

ports,” said Wang.

“Stockpile of autumn grains face many difficulties and problems.”

The gap between U.S. and Chinese corn prices is at a record high as a huge American crop pushes down prices there while China’s support for corn growers remains un-changed.

Beijing pays farmers US$362.9 to $369.5 per tonne for corn. U.S. corn is now at $143 per tonne.

Commercial storage facilities should be used and more companies will be encouraged to stockpile grains to ensure that farmers are able to sell their crop, Wang said.

China does not reveal details of its total grain stockpiles, but analysts estimate the country was sitting on close to 100 million tonnes of corn stocks before the current harvest began. That is equivalent to about half of annual domestic consumption.

Industry analysts expect Beijing to stockpile a big volume of corn for a third year in a row in the marketing year to September 2015.

Wang said China is facing new challenges boosting rural income and production amid an economic slowdown and sliding fiscal revenue. Rising production costs has forced the government to continue increasing subsidies to keep farming profitable.

Overuse of resources and environmental pollution have also threatened sustainable development, he said.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS DOWN Falling pork prices and ample market-ready hog supply drove hog prices sharply lower.

Cooler weather leads to a larger supply of market-ready hogs at heavier carcass weights.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US $69 per cwt. per hundredweight Oct. 24, down from $75-$75 Oct. 17.

On a carcass basis, U.S. hogs averaged $89.45 Oct. 24, down from $98.04 Oct. 17.

The U.S. pork cutout dropped to

$98.25 per cwt., down from $111.01 Oct. 17.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Oct. 25 was 2.141 million, down from 2.187 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.26 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were as high as C$4.55 per lb. hot hanging weight.

Grade A heifers sold up to $4.35.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LAMBS MOSTLY STEADY Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,808 sheep and 158 goats sold Oct. 20.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $211-$249 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $220-$255, 70-85 lb. were $200-$239, 86-105 lb. were $183-$226 and 106 lb. and heavier were $171-$183.

Wool rams were $56-$95 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $48-$81.

and heavier were $166-$177.

Hair rams were $60-$150 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $45-$147.

Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $150-$190. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $190-$230. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $190-$220 per cwt. Nannies were $62.50$132.50 per cwt. Billies were $120$150.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 1,296 sheep and lambs and 79 goats traded Oct. 20.

Well-fed light lambs sold higher, with all other classes of lambs, sheep and goats steady.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE SET RECORD The Canfax fed cattle average set a new record high with steers at $169.66 per hundredweight, thanks to new records set in the U.S. cash and Chicago futures markets.

American cash prices rose to US$170 per cwt., up $6.

Most sales in Canada went to one Alberta packer, but U.S. packers were buying a few head at a slight premium over local sales.

The trade south might have been larger if not for a shortage of trucking.

Packers are not discounting heavy carcasses, which combined with a low cost of gain because of cheap feedgrains is prompting feedlots to feed cattle longer.

Weekly Canadian steer carcass weights to Oct. 18 were 909 pounds, the second heaviest weight ever reported. It is a similar story in the United States.

Cattle bought last week were scheduled for slaughter in the first and second weeks of November.

The Chicago nearby futures price rose to $166.90 per cwt., or C$187.

The Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis weakened, closing the week at about -$20, which is an unusually wide basis for this time of year.

Weekly fed slaughter over the past two months has been consistent at

35,000 to 36,000 head a week.

Production hours and slaughter rates are being maintained, indicating that Canadian packer processing margins are in decent shape.

Weaker pork cut-out values over the past couple of weeks will work against wholesale beef prices.

U.S. packers were unable to push carcass values higher last week, with retailers able to turn to cheaper pork and chicken.

COWS MIXED Volume at auction increased, but D1, D2 cow prices were mostly steady. D3 cows fell about $1.

D1, D2 ranged $115-$133 to average $125.50, and D3s ranged $102$119 to average $110.50.

Dressed cows were $237-$242 per cwt. delivered, steady with the previous week.

Butcher bulls slipped $1.69 to average $139.81.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter rose seven percent Oct. 18 to 6,429 head. Weekly exports to Oct. 11 rose nine percent to 7,407.

GRAIN MOVEMENT | RAILWAY MANDATE REPERCUSSIONS

CRAIG’S VIEW

Short-line railways get shunted by ramp-up on main lines

I

t is clear that Ottawa had good intentions in March when it imposed regulations requiring Canada’s Class 1 railway carriers — Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway — to move a million tonnes of western Canadian grain each week to market or export position.

But now that the regulations have been in place for the better part of a year, it is also clear they have had many unintended negative repercussions, that are costing some stakeholders in the grain industry millions of dollars a week.

Ottawa’s million-tonne-per-week directive was effective in that it compelled CN and CP to move a specified amount of prairie grain to market or pay monetary fines for non-compliance.

The directive was put in place after a long, cold winter that impeded grain shipments and left most prairie elevators filled to capacity. To its credit, the directive helped get grain moving. Fluidity was returned quickly to a prairie elevator system that was severely constipated.

However, the directive also created winners and losers in the western Canadian grain industry. Short-line railway operators, particularly those in Saskatchewan, are clearly among the losers.

At a recent meeting of the Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association, short-line operators were unanimous in denouncing the million-tonne-per-week regulations.

SSRA members who spoke to The Western Producer said the regulations — predictably — have prompted CN and CP to move more grain than ever from centralized or main-line locations.

Indeed, business has never been better for grain companies that have elevators on centralized main-line railway locations.

Grain volumes are up, rail cars are plentiful and farmers are hauling grain farther than ever for a delivery opportunity.

Little wonder that basis levels and main-line

elevator profits have risen to such unimaginable levels.

Short-line operators have not been so lucky.

They have seen a steady erosion of business since Ottawa’s directive was put in place.

Delivery of empty rail cars to short-line locations by CN and CP has been sporadic and unpredictable at best.

Business opportunities are being lost, and in many cases, sales programs are half a year behind. With no empty cars to fill, short lines and the grain buyers that depend on them are defaulting on delivery commitments, losing revenues and ultimately losing customers.

Local grain producers, desperate for a delivery opportunity, are looking further afield for a chance to sell their grain.

More often than not, a farmer’s long drive to a main line elevator location does not result in the best grain price, but it does result in a sale.

How much revenue have farmers, short lines and independent grain buyers lost this year?

That number may never be known.

What seems clear, however, is that Ottawa’s regulations need to be reworked or replaced with a system that provides equal opportunities for all stakeholders.

Shortly after Ottawa’s regulations were put in place, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz acknowledged publicly that the milliontonne-per-week regulation was a “blunt instrument,” meant to revive a rail system that had flat-lined during the winter.

The patient has been revived, Mr. Ritz, but unfortunately, there were limbs and appendages sacrificed in the process.

It’s high time for Ottawa to bring out the scalpel and do some detail work, lest Western Canada’s short lines and the farmers they serve die a slow and painful death.

TRAGEDY IN OTTAWA | RECOVERY

Canadians unite to defend democracy after shooting in Ottawa CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

N

erves and emotions here in Ottawa are still raw, days after a lone gunman shot and killed a reservist standing on guard at the National War Memorial and then stormed his way into Parliament’s iconic Centre Block.

The deadly shooting, which took the life of 24-year old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a reservist from Hamilton, and injured three others, has left the nation’s capital reeling.

Emotions range from grief to sorrow, edged with shock, anger and utter bafflement.

On a typical Wednesday morning, I arrive at Parliament around 9:50 a.m., in time for the usual caucus outs

(reporter jargon for interviews with MPs and cabinet ministers coming out of their weekly caucus meetings).

It is the busiest day on the Hill, with everyone milling about and sprinting down the marble hallways chasing this story or that.

That Oct. 22 morning, though, I was running late. A CTV news alert, combined with a frantic text from my brother as I headed out the door, told me at least one shooter was on the loose.

Time stood still.

Panic, fear and near paralyzing worry set in as I hurried out the door.

Several of my colleagues were already on the Hill. I had no idea if they were safe.

Adrenalin took over as I drove to the office, the eight-minute drive a blur and unmemorable apart from a frantic phone call to my mother to reassure her I was unharmed.

Having worked on Parliament Hill in various capacities for nearly five years, I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that the thought of a shooting on Parliament Hill had previously

crossed my mind.

After all, Parliament Hill, with its symbolic Peace Tower, marbled hallways and intricate carvings, is one of the most recognized buildings in the country. It is the heart of this country’s democracy, where legislation is crafted, moral issues debated and the Canadian identity solidified.

It’s not the first time the building has come under attack.

For example, in the 1960s a man died during an explosion in a parliamentary bathroom while trying to prepare a bomb.

Nor will Parliament be immune in the future from incidents like the one last week.

In the aftermath of the Oct. 22 shooting, many in Ottawa and around the world argued Canada had lost its innocence.

The country had changed forever, they said. Parliament Hill would never be the same.

There is no question the date will be remembered as a dark day in Canada’s history books, when innocent blood was inexplicably shed for rea-

sons that may never be fully understood.

The grief is only compounded by the senseless murder of another unsuspecting solider, warrant officer Patrice Vincent, in Quebec just days earlier.

Nor will Parliament Hill let her new scars, reflected in the broken windows, bullet markings and chipped wooden benches along her hallowed Hall of Honour, hold her back from fulfilling her democratic duty.

The tragedy last week must not be used as an excuse to make decisions out of fear and contempt, especially with so many questions about the gunman, his motives, and the gathered evidence left to be answered.

Instead, consolation must come from each other.

As those both on and off the Hill struggle to regain some sense of normalcy, we as a nation have all been comforted by countless acts of human kindness.

Partisanship and politics, for the most part, have been replaced with genuine compassion and expres-

sions of concern. Hushed conversations dominated with questions of “how are you holding up?” or “how are you doing?,” backed with bipartisan handshakes, hugs and claps on the back still echo throughout Parliament’s halls.

Down the street, the mountain of flowers at the War Memorial — lilies, red and white carnations, roses and daisies, most accompanied with handwritten sympathy notes dotted with tear stains — serve as a sweet smelling reminder of this country’s pain.

Hundreds have gathered there in the days since, many dressed in Canada sweaters, hats and mitts and other Canadiana. The heavy silence is broken only by a child’s cries and weighted with a collective determination to move forward.

United in grief, our resolve remains: Canada has not lost its innocence.

The country, and its people, simply won’t let it.

hat a great time to have cattle to sell. Record smashing prices continue to appear, and even the most pessimistic producers are smiling.

With the strong market providing continued profits and market signals continuing to fuel optimism, I wonder how the optimism will be translated into action?

Will we forget the lessons learned in the last several years, or can we make ourselves stronger and in turn make the Canadian cattle and beef production system more resilient in preparation for future challenges?

As an individual within the collection of individuals that is the Canadian cattle and beef production system, I need to stay focused on the fundamentals of production, which hopefully allow me profit in high and low markets.

This concept was well described in several recent articles highlighting the impending re-opening of the beef packing plant near Balzac, Alta.

A recent Beef Illustrated profile on Harmony Beef highlighted the importance of recognizing the market opportunities while keeping an eye on the costs of expanding to supply those markets.

The plant appears to have an exciting future ahead, not only because of the plant’s innovative design and

This combination will hopefully yield profits and strengthen Canada’s long-term ability to produce premium beef.

The same combination of recognizing market opportunity while staying focused on production costs is fundamental for success of all cattle and beef producers.

Some of the value of the current market may not be fully realized if we don’t strive to improve our ability to efficiently produce cattle.

Our individual sustainability will be challenged when lower market prices cycle back. Now is the time to

objectively evaluate opportunities to reduce Canadian producer vulnerability, even while in the glow of a hot market.

Such an initiative has recently been launched in the form of the Canadian Beef Industry Sustainability Assessment. It is being conducted under the direction of the newly minted Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

The CRSB document outlines the approach as “a fundamental step in ensuring our domestic and international consumers have confidence in the Canadian beef brand and that Canada remains a competitive global leader in sustainable beef production.”

The desire for continuous improvement within cattle and beef produc-

tion models is a key assumption on which the assessment will be based.

I, for one, am excited to see the results of the assessment.

It will be important for all producers to review the assessment and understand the implications because I suspect the opportunity to craft research and policy for a stronger future will follow.

Make sure the cattle organization that represents your interests communicates the information from this assessment, and be ready to provide your feedback.

Let’s make the most of these exciting times.

Significant price hike catches analysts off guard HURSH ON AG

ore market analysis is available than ever before. Some of it needs to be paid for, but lots of it is free.

The world has become smaller as communication becomes better, but there are still more surprises and unanswered questions than ever.

No one accurately predicted the big run-up we’ve seen in durum and lentil prices.

Yes, the terrible harvest weather and the massive downgrading of quality was a surprise no one could have anticipated. The top two grades are in short supply, which goes a long way to explaining why high quality durum and lentils are selling at the

top of their historical price ranges.

However, low quality durum and lentils have also been dragged dramatically higher. No. 3 quality of both grains is worth more than what top quality product was worth in the summer.

How do we explain this development? More importantly, why didn’t market analysts see it coming?

Durum has not only re-established a premium over spring wheat but has eclipsed it. The crop is scarcely profitable this year when considering average grades and production, while durum will be among the most profitable crops for anyone who is able to grow half decent quality.

Crops aren’t the only sector where predictions have been suspect. Most market analysts never imagined that cattle prices could climb to the record high levels we’ve seen in recent months.

Conventional wisdom was that North American consumers wouldn’t pay such high prices for beef. Demand would drop off as hamburger and steak became more

expensive, and that would cap the price of slaughter animals, thereby capping the price of feeder animals.

Instead, consumer demand has remained strong, partly because of price strength in competing protein sources. As well, feed grain prices have fallen lower than most analysts ever predicted, which has helped support calf prices. Not long ago, analysts were saying the days of $3 a bushel corn were gone forever.

With corn prices depressed, many analysts now predict that American farmers will turn in a major way to soybeans next year. In fact, soybean acreage could be greater than corn acreage next year, which hasn’t happened for decades.

You would think this projection would have nitrogen prices dropping like a rock.

In most years, nitrogen fertilizer is much cheaper in the late summer and fall than it is the following spring.

While some analysts are advising farmers to stock up on nitrogen now, others believe the price should drop in the months ahead based on slack-

ening demand.

At least one side or the other will ultimately turn out to be correct, but in the case of durum and lentils, it’s hard to find anyone who had an accurate prediction.

I sit through more market outlook presentations in a year than most people and I have a great deal of respect for the men and women who crunch the numbers and try to make sense of where prices are heading.

But sometimes we don’t see the forest for the trees. We get excited by canola going up $8 a tonne one day and down $10 the next day because moves on the futures market are easy to quantify. While the small fluctuations matter, it’s the major market trends that are really important, and they often get second billing.

Market watching can be addictive, but you can often listen to or read a lot of analysis and wonder what you’ve really learned.

have an addiction. Well, the farmer in me has an addiction. To some extent, it is suffered by most farmers I know. And, starting around Halloween, it ends for a few months.

I am in the final days of harvest.

After rolling the dice in May, I finally get to see them stop tumbling.

But that isn’t the addiction. It isn’t a risk and reward type of issue. It is a seasonal pattern of behaviour.

From April to November, the first thing I do every morning, once I have checked my email to make sure the daily WP newsletters we send out to you are functioning properly, is to check the weather. OK, maybe the email is an issue too, but luckily it never stops.

Many folks like to hear a weather forecast. “Do I need an umbrella, a sweater, a coat?” Or, if you are in transportation or construction, “what are my daily needs for work?”

My farm addiction to weather involves something a little more.

On the internet I check the local forecast, often with two weather services. Then I turn to the North American jet stream map, followed by a look at weather radar for Western Canada.

I make a trip to the prairie regional weather satellite map, which is visual from mid-May to September and otherwise is infrared. Then I visit U.S. maps showing weather predictions for grain growing areas in the parts of the world that most directly affect our markets.

And here is where the addiction really takes hold. I already know what the day is going to be like, and the likelihood that the rain I want or don’t want will reach the farm. I now want to know what is happening on other farms, including South America and Australia. A few times each week I feel the need to look at Eastern Europe and Russia.

And once the crop is off, I stop, cold turkey. Is it cold in Turkey? Don’t care.

We have a weather page in the back of this paper. Do you use it? Either way, let me know if it still serves you.

I check my email year around at mike.raine@producer.com.

The beheading of western journalists from the U.S. and Britain working in Iraq is a horrific act of violence.

However, it cannot be separated from the invasions and wars in the Middle East by the U.S. and their allies, including Canada.

The basis of the formation of ISIS was initiated by the 1990-91 American invasion of Iraq during the presidency of the elder Bush. It was named the Gulf War. Then in 2003, the second invasion of Iraq was titled — George W. Bush’s “Shock and Awe” war.

The number of American soldiers,

and soldiers from countries that did contribute to the attacks on Iraq and Afghanistan that were killed, is over 6,000. To that number we have to add the thousands of Americans and their NATO military allies who w e re p hy s i c a l l y a n d m e nt a l l y wounded, and some maimed for life. All at a cost of about $6 trillion.

Profits (were) reaped by the manufacturers of the sophisticated weapons of war.

The human costs of those wars to the citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan are estimated at 1.3 million killed, wounded or displaced. And, of course, that includes civilians, involving women and children.

There has never been a figure stated on the collateral damage to

Iraqi and Afghan property. Trillions? And we did all this to bring our form of democracy to the Middle East?

STATE OF GRAIN MARKETING To the Editor: It was refreshing to see Stewart Wells tell it like it is in his recent letter regarding the state of grain marketing in Western Canada. In (agriculture minister) Gerry Ritz’s response, it is clear he has no real argument other than to attack the messenger.

Farmers are growing tired of him telling us how well off we are under marketing freedom and how we are making record profits.

Is he not aware prices have fallen to four-year lows or below and that the agricultural grain economy is slowing?

How can Mr. Ritz be proud of the situation he and his government have instigated? We have no effective futures price discovery, record basis deductions, recent poor co-ordination of grain stocks at port and high demurrage charges.

Grain company quotes are widely variable and there is often little idea of how much will be discounted for protein and grade shortcomings. The buyers are not beating a path to our door trying to outdo one another. We are simply weaker price takers spending excessive amounts of time calling for elusive quotes.

As a farmer, it feels like we have no marketing freedom, only the opportunity to contribute to those company profits involved with handling our product.

Re: “Price disparity sparks anger” (WP Oct. 2).

In this article, Larry Weber, an analyst with Weber Commodities, said “the price for No. 1 CWAD 13 percent durum was as high as $14.80 in Montana and North Dakota last week, which was $7 per bu. higher than the Canadian price.”

“We’ve still got the same disparity in prices that we did when the (Canadian) Wheat Board was there,” he said.

In my opinion, this last sentence cannot be supported by facts. It has been well established that the single desk Canadian Wheat Board received a premium from sales to end-users of milling wheat and durum on both sides of the border.

John Miller, president of Miller Milling Co. and a spokesperson for the North American Miller’s Association, testifying before the International Trade Commission said: “If the Canadians are selling durum at less than market prices or better than market terms, I’m not getting any of it.”

If the single desk CWB were alive and well today, Canadian durum growers would be capturing $14.80 per bu. plus a premium, from sales on both sides of the boarder.

Leave of absence | Government relations minister Jim Reiter will temporarily take over ag portfolio

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart is taking a break from his duties to undergo treatment for prostate cancer.

He told his caucus colleagues and reporters today that he had been diagnosed this summer and that the best treatment could be obtained in Ottawa.

“I’m very confident in the course of treatment,” Stewart told reporters.

“I don’t think this is a life threatening thing.”

He expects to be back in the legisla-

ture after the Remembrance Day break.

On the advice of an oncologist, he will undergo an intense two-week radiation treatment called CyberKnife, which, despite its name, is non-invasive.

“Mine was fairly advanced and so treatments that are available in Saskatchewan weren’t a particularly good fit,” Stewart said.

“Surgery is always an option, but it wasn’t the best option for me as far as side effects and lingering issues.”

He said he feels fine but discomfort prompted him to be checked.

Their parents have just died from Ebola, and suddenly these children, brought up by a loving, caring family, are possible disease carriers. The only ones who dare touch them must be dressed in astronaut styled sanitation suits.

Scenes like this are common in West Africa today. Even children who have survived the disease are looked on with suspicion and fear.

People won’t believe they are disease-free.

Hundreds and thousands of children are shunned, this in a society that had previously been so affectionate with each other. Adrian Arsenault of the CBC reports that “if you love someone enough to wipe their sweat and care for them, you are in trouble.”

What amazes me is that no matter how insurmountable the problem appears to be, compassionate people will find positive ways to respond.

In this case, UNICEF workers have turned to those adults who have survived the sickness. They are being recruited and trained to be the children’s caregivers.

James Lowell wrote: “Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide, … for the good or evil side.

Some great cause, some great decision … twixt that darkness and the light.”

He goes on: “New occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth. They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth.”

“I must confess that I got a little lax on that,” he said.

Big harvest spurs U.S. farmers to keep bugs at bay in bins

Irrational resistance to GM hurts ag sector: expert

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — With record harvests depressing prices, U.S. farmers are holding tight to their corn and soybeans and binging on chemicals that protect stored grain from insects.

Farmers have resources to store grain rather than sell into a down market because they are still flush with cash after years of record income. As well, shipping rates are near record highs.

“The last several years we have not held on very long,” said Mike Brzon, who grows corn, soybeans and wheat on his farm in Courtland, Kansas.

“This year we might be in a little different situation.”

Many farmers and grain elevators are pre-treating storage bins with

insecticides capable of keeping grain bug-free for 18 month, knowing they may store their grain well into next year.

“We treat the bins before we ever put a kernel of grain in it,” said Kent Moore, a farmer from Iuka, Kansas.

A record U.S. harvest of 14.5 billion bushels recently had corn trading around US$3.50 a bushel, down 56 percent from record highs set in August 2012. Soybeans have fallen more than $8 per bu. to around $9.65 on a record harvest of 3.9 billion bu.

Paul Drache, regional manager at insecticide maker Central Life Sciences, said some producers are delaying the decision by planning to treat their grain later if need arises.

“In an environment where the

commodity prices are down, they will typically try do a rescue rather than a preventative because they don’t want to spend the money now,” Drache said.

Central Life’s Centynal is applied to grain as it is put in storage bins.

Increased sales could be a boon Central Garden & Pet Co., which owns Central Life, as well as Dow AgroSciences, which sells another leading insect regulator, ProFume.

Applications of the pesticides are carefully calibrated to fall within government standards to keep the grain safe for human and animal use.

Elevators and farmers who store grain in bins and on the ground need to prioritize which will move out first.

Grain stored in bags will be the first to

go. The bags are believed susceptible to insect invasions.

“That is the first thing that gets shipped,” said Wes O’Bannon, chief operations officer at FarmWay Co-op in Beloit, Kansas.

Some farmers are leaving their corn standing in fields, hoping higher spring prices will make it worth harvesting. However, they risk seeing winter storms destroy its value.

“Even though you are going to encounter some yield loss, it still might not end up being a bad economic play at the end of the day,” said Tregg Cronin, a market analyst at Halo Commodities, who also works on his family farm in Gettysburg, South Dakota.

“You can store it in the field for free.”

It’s an atrocity that we can’t use this technology to help people, says scientist

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Onerous approval regulations and activist opposition are keeping beneficial GMO developments off the shelf, says noted fruit industr y research scientist Kevin Folta of the University of Florida.

Folta wants the public to understand the costs of what he considers irrational resistance to genetic modification.

“An industry will likely be gone before the solution can be implemented,” he said during a presentation at the University of Manitoba’s Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals Oct. 23.

Folta was referring to genes that can be inserted into orange trees to make them resistant to the effects of citrus greening, which is presently ravaging Florida’s citrus fruit industries.

Regulations that delay GM crop approvals for years and prevent many GMO innovations from going forward will hold back the development of resistant orange trees until at least 2019, he said.

He said it’s just one example of stymied crop development caused by GMO regulations and activist campaigns to stop GMO crop commercialization.

Others include: • allergen-free peanuts • wheat that wouldn’t provoke gluten intolerance • disease resistant tomatoes that would allow organic farmers to eschew heavy copper use • disease resistant grapes that would help California growers and all Florida farmers to grow the crop • golden rice that could eliminate vitamin A deficiency in millions of children in developing nations • disease resistant strawberries that would no longer need heavy fungicide treatments Folta said his laboratory has developed the disease-resistant strawberries but is nowhere near commercializing the crop because of the regulatory challenges.

“We can’t even do the test,” he said about field trials.

Folta described the resistance to GMO crop development but the acceptance of mutation breeding as “the Frankenfood Paradox.”

He said growers’ inability to grow something that solves critical human problems is absurd, especially with crops like Golden Rice and allergenfree peanuts.

“It’s really an atrocity that we can’t use this kind of technology to help people,” said Folta.

“It’s (Golden Rice) been done.

(Allergen-free peanuts are) done. It already exists. So why do we have kids walking around with EpiPens and people freaking out about peanut dust on Southwest Airlines?”

GRAIN | TRANSPORTATION

Producer car owners continue to see service shortfalls Frustration building | Railway targets are being met, but producer car orders are still months behind schedule

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie grain is flowing to export position at a near-record pace, and Canada’s major railways are consistently meeting the million-tonneper-week targets that Ottawa put in place earlier this year.

However, that is cold comfort for Saskatchewan grain grower Glynis Oliver, who farms with her husband, Chris, near Speers, Sask.

Earlier this year, the Olivers contracted three rail cars of wheat to CWB. The couple were told that their producer cars would be delivered in mid-June to a loading site at Hamlin, Sask..

However, the cars still haven’t arrived, almost five months later and more than a year after the Olivers harvested the grain.

Farmer frustration is mounting.

“It’s a gong show,” said Oliver.

“Nobody can tell you when the cars are coming. And when cars do arrive, nobody seems to know who they belong to. Nobody can tell you anything.”

Sensing a breakdown in the producer car delivery system, the Olivers have since attempted to deliver some of their CWB-contracted grain to elevator companies with facilities in North Battleford, Sask.

No luck.

Despite the fact that CWB has — or at least had — commercial grain handling agreements with competing elevator companies such as Cargill, Viterra, P&H and Pioneer, none of the companies would agree to take delivery of the Olivers’ grain.

Each company offered a slightly different explanation, but the end result was the same: no delivery opportunities for CWB grain.

CWB is now allowing some producers to back out of delivery contracts and sell their grain to competing grain companies.

It’s the best option available in a bad situation, but it’s not ideal for farmers or for CWB. Many farmers are attracted to the prices offered through CWB’s pooling programs, but they simply can’t take advantage of the opportunity.

For CWB, the result of each broken contract is another lost sale and another frustrated farmer.

That’s a big deal for a company that is navigating its way through a government-imposed privatization process.

The Olivers are not alone in their frustration.

Oliver knows one farmer near Hafford, Sask., who is still waiting for cars that were supposed to be delivered in late February.

Remi Gosselin, a spokesperson for the Canadian Grain Commission, said his organization is working with Canada’s major railway companies to ensure the timely delivery of producer cars.

Gosselin said the demand for producer cars increased dramatically in early 2014.

“Last year, I think we had 21,000 producer car orders, the likes of which had not been seen in recent memory,” he said.

Of those 21,000, approximately 16,000 orders were sent to Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. However, it is not

clear how many of those cars have been delivered.

Gosselin said the grain commission has no control over when producer cars are spotted in the countryside.

It is responsible for processing producer car applications and sending orders to the major railway companies, which is known as allocation.

However, it has no say in when allocated cars are delivered to producer cars sites.

As well, there is no reliable way to track the difference between the number of cars allocated or ordered and the number of cars delivered to producers.

“We only track the number of cars that … are ordered,” Gosselin said.

“CGC is not responsible for spotting. What I can certainly say, though, is that we’re working with the railways to address the backlog and that means improving the allocation process and seeking information on (the status) of producer cars. But in terms of spotting, again, the CGC is not in control of those cars.”

CN declined to comment about the backlog of undelivered producer cars.

Oliver said CN’s automated system for tracking the status of individual producer cars has been of little help.

“We’re told to check the CN website every Friday … and type in the platform ID number and the order reference number that we’ve been provided for each car,” Oliver said.

“Every week it tells you the same thing: shortfall.”

Inquiries to CN’s producer car hotline have also failed to provide useful information on the status of her cars.

“I’ve been told so many times that we’re next on the list … I just don’t believe it any more,” she said.

“Two or three producer cars don’t matter to CN. Obviously, they’re going to want to deliver 100-car trains to main-line locations because

it’s … the easiest way to make money off moving that grain.

“I don’t know what kind of a carrot or a stick you’d have to use to get them to come out to our more remote locations.”

Statistics provided by the grain commission show that it has handled nearly 11,600 producer car applications since Aug. 1.

That number includes nearly 3,500 car orders submitted to major railway companies, 6,700 car orders that have been processed but have yet to be sent to railways and 1,400 applications that have been cancelled, rejected or are pending acceptance.

Alberta MLA objects to AltaLink sale Overpayment questioned | Berkshire Hathaway bid under consideration

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An Alberta MLA warns that Berkshire Hathaway’s offer for AltaLink could affect farmers and agricultural businesses already concerned about high electrical rates. | FILE PHOTO

An Alberta MLA has filed an objection to the proposed sale of electrical transmission company AltaLink to Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway.

Joe Anglin said many questions surround the $3.2 billion deal, including the legalities of potential Berkshire Hathaway price increases in both Alberta and the United States.

Anglin raised his concerns at an Oct. 23 meeting of the Southern Alberta Council of Public Affairs.

The province’s electrical system

has long been an interest for Anglin, who spearheaded the Lavesta Area Group objections to a southern Alberta transmission line from 200610 before he was elected as a Wildrose Party MLA. “There’s so many questions and so few answers,” said Anglin.

“Then the overriding question is, should we continue with this sale?

And I have filed an objection with the Alberta Utilities Commission that we should not.

“I’m not even necessarily opposed to Berkshire Hathaway owning AltaLink.

What I’m opposed to is the way we’re going about it and all the unanswered

questions moving forward.”

AltaLink is the former transmission arm of TransAlta Utilities, which was separated and sold when the province restructured the electrical system. It was purchased by SNC-Lavalin of Montréal for $800 million.

Anglin said the price was 33 percent more than book value at the time.

“That’s an odd purchase if you know anything about utilities. Utilities generally sell for book value,” he said. “So why would a company with lawyers and accountants pay 33 percent more for an asset? Nobody knows.”

Berkshire Hathaway has now offered $3.2 billion for AltaLink, and Anglin estimates it is worth roughly $2.6 billion.

“They’re overspending by $600 million for this asset,” he said.

“We don’t know how you’re going to pay for it, but you will pay for this somehow. They just haven’t told us how they plan on making that money back, but I can guarantee you Warren Buffet has no intention of leaving $600 million on the table up in Alberta. He has every intention of making that money back.”

In an interview after his talk, Anglin said the pending deal has implications for farmers and agricultural businesses, who are already concerned about high electrical rates.

“They are directly and adversely affected, without a doubt,” he said.

LeRon Torrie, a farmer from Grassy Lake, Alta., who served on an advisory council when Alberta deregulated its system in 2003, has monitored electrical rates for years, partly because it is a major irrigation cost.

He analyzes his bills for charges related to energy, transmission and distribution.

Torrie said his 2013 figures show the combined transmission and distribution costs on his bills were 148 percent of the energy cost. In 2012 they were 162 percent.

However, in 2003, those two combined charges were only 79 percent of the cost of energy.

Evidence that delivering electricity to the user costs more than the energy itself is a major concern in terms of potentially rising costs, Torrie said.

AltaLink’s possible sale to Berkshire Hathaway is another concern.

“Anytime we start selling essential services to an out-of-Canada, out-ofAlberta group, I’m very concerned just on general principle.”

In his talk, Anglin said Albertans are major investors in the province’s electrical system but they won’t see any returns from the AltaLink sale.

He plans to introduce Bill 201, the public interest amendment act, at the next legislative session. It would include a system in which funds from the sale of such assets could in part be reallocated to Albertans.

Anglin also said AltaLink was initially separated from TransAlta to eliminate the possibility of price manipulation in cases where one company had generation, transmission and distribution capability.

AltaLink was prohibited from involvement in power generation, but Berkshire Hathaway has considerable assets in American power generation.

“You have a regulated monopoly that would have certain market control that I think is detrimental to you, the consumers,” said Anglin.

CROP PERFORMANCE | HARVEST

Soybean yields catching up Good yields in Manitoba | Despite conditions, yield reports are positive

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Manitoba’s crop production guide says soybeans yield 10 bushels per acre less than canola in western Manitoba.

That’s not the case this year.

Elmer Kaskiw, a Manitoba Agriculture crop production adviser in Minnedosa, said farmers in southwestern Manitoba are reporting soybean yields comparable to canola.

“The comment is their soybean crop is yielding fairly close to what their yields is on their canola crop,” Kaskiw said, adding soybean yields are 30 to 45 bu. per acre.

“The average is probably going to be in that 35 to 38 range.”

The above average yields are surprising, considering the challenging growing conditions in western Manitoba this year.

A cool spring delayed planting, and 150 to 200 millimetres of rain soaked fields in late June. As well, a frost in the second week of September damaged part of the soybean crop in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan.

In the face of all that, soybeans still performed.

“Our finding is that soybeans are extremely tough,” said Marnie McLean, who runs a 6,000 acre farm and pedigreed seed business near Oak River, Man., with her husband and parents.

“They just kind of roll with it.”

McLean said they have grown soybeans for several years so they weren’t surprised when their 600 acres yielded 35 to 40 bu. per acre.

“We were ver y pleased…. Our beans yielded about the same, on average, as our canola.”

Sheila Heide, district sales manager for NorthStar Genetics in Saskatchewan, said soybean yields aren’t quite as strong in her province.

Growers are reporting yields of 25 to 43 bu. per acre in eastern Saskatchewan.

However, she said those yields are respectable, considering the extreme rainfall in June and the early frost in September.

“Fields were sitting under water for a week to 10 days,” she said.

“I’ve had growers tell me if it would’ve been any other crop, they wouldn’t have got a crop.”

Soybeans don’t mind wet conditions, and that trait was evident this summer.

“If you do have a drowned out spot, there are beans right up to the edge of the spot,” Mclean said.

“Whereas with canola, you won’t have a plant for 10 feet back (from the spot).”

Kaskiw agreed, saying many canola fields in the region had drowned out patches with no plants.

“Whereas in the soybean crop, the vast majority of the acres still produced yield.”

Our finding is that soybeans are extremely tough.

McLean said some farmers will always remain skeptical about soybeans in western Manitoba, but this year might change a few minds.

“Given a year like this year, where we had a tough spring, we had tough harvest and … it works, again. Even

with an early frost, guys are still doing well (with) beans,” said McLean, who intends to seed 1,000 acres of soybeans next spring.

“I don’t think there will be a stampede (to beans), but I think there will be a steady march.”

OTTAWA | SHOOTING

Farm group leaders caught in mayhem of Ottawa attack Parliament Hill | Officials in lock down for hours following shooting

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24, was shot dead as he and a colleague stood guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa last week. The gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was killed after he burst into the Centre Block on Parliament Hill. This photo was taken from a group photo of the Canadian Army Contingent in front of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa on Oct. 19. | REUTERS/CORPORAL MELANI GIRARD/THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES

Like so many others, Martin Harry first thought the noise he heard in Parliament Hill’s Centre Block Oct. 22 was from construction.

But when a security guard told his group to get down, he realized it was much worse.

The entire SeCan staff, along with

several spouses, spent 12 hours locked down in the Conservative par ty’s lounge after a gunman stormed the building.

Harry, the company’s eastern marketing manager, said they had met on Parliament Hill for breakfast and were on a tour with Ontario MP Bev Shipley, who is also chair of the House of Commons’ agriculture committee, when the incident happened.

“He said, ‘I’ll show you the lounge,’ ” Harry said while still under lock down.

A lounge likely isn’t a highlight on parliamentary tours, but it turned out to be a sanctuary for more than 20 people.

“Fifteen minutes earlier we had toured the library,” he said.

The gunman, identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, of Montreal, was near the parliamentary library’s entrance when he was shot and killed by sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers.

“We heard it all, the first four shots,” Harry said.

“We thought it was construction and then the security guard was shouting to get down. Then people were nervous.”

The guard instructed them to pile furniture against the door to keep anyone else out, and then they waited.

“Locked in and on the floor,” Harry tweeted at the time.

They had access to water and some candy, but had to create their own porta-potty, Harry said. Later, when the building was declared clear but the lock down was still in place, they were able to use nearby washrooms.

At a downtown hotel, members of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture board also waited.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said the board was meeting about a 10-minute walk from Parliament Hill when the downtown area was locked down.

Some meetings were delayed while others went ahead.

He said the sound of sirens made people jumpy.

Both the Conservative and NDP caucuses were meeting when the shootings occurred, and photographs the following day showed bullet holes in the doors to the meeting rooms.

Some MPs, including prime minister Stephen Harper, were taken out of the building by security guards while others were included in the lengthy lock down.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was in a safe location, according to his office.

Michelle Rempel of Calgary, minister responsible for Western Economic Diversification, hid under a desk for an hour and at one point tweeted, “Mom im okay Im in hiding.”

Several media outlets reported Oct. 23 that the gunman had hijacked her ministerial car to get close to the building.

That happened after he fatally shot cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 24-year-old reservist from Hamilton standing guard at the National War Memorial.

It was the second fatal attack on a Canadian soldier last week, raising security concerns across the country.

Ghost train story haunts small Saskatchewan community St. Louis, Sask. | Local residents are still sharing stories of the famous train

BY TARYN RIEMER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ghost light, phantom light, ghost train or phantom train, regardless of what it’s called, it’s an eerie phenomenon in St. Louis, Sask.

Just outside the small village of 450 people is a legend that dates back a century.

The story involves a train conductor, either in the front or caboose car, who was decapitated by the train one night.

Some speculate he either fell or was checking the tracks when the train reversed over him.

Many locals believe that led to the mysterious ghost train that has long haunted the old tracks and stories of the conductor roaming the tracks looking for his head.

Edward Lussier of St. Louis has witnessed the ghost light.

“When I was growing up in my teens … we used to go there quite a bit on weekends and if you sat on the track and looked south down the train track, the light would appear periodically,” said Lussier.

He recalled one night in particular.

His father, mother, aunt and uncle wanted to see the light and he and his cousin wanted to follow in his own vehicle and scare them.

Lussier’s father and uncle were walking the tracks while his mother and aunt waited in the parked car and Lussier and his cousin walked behind them.

“The light came behind us and lit us up and the silhouettes and the tracks and they kind of recognized us.... Dad come running ’cause he thought we’d be scared and we hadn’t even noticed, we didn’t see the light ourselves, so that was kind of a eerie thing,” said Lussier.

Les Rancout, St. Louis’s mayor, has also seen the light.

“It basically looks like a street light from a distance that’s a little brighter and gets a little dimmer and

The ghost train is depicted in Canada Post’s Haunted Canada series. | there’s a little red light that’s sometimes seen on either side of it,” said Rancourt.

The small red light is believed to be the lantern of the headless conductor.

This mysterious sight has been featured on an Unsolved Mysteries, a U.S. TV show, and was immortalized in a Canada Post stamp earlier this year.

Many have tried to explain the

CANADA POST PHOTO

ghost train phenomenon, including universities and the army.

Two La Ronge teens received first place in their science fair when they thought they solved the mystery.

In their experiment, they found a road that lined up with the site.

When one girl’s father flashed his car lights, the ghost train appeared.

When he flashed his rear taillights, the small red lights appeared.

Rancourt said others have tried to

duplicate their experiment but without the same results.

Locals doubt the girls’ theory because the lights were seen long before the advent of cars in the district.

The ghost train was once a popular draw for people, with shirts made and a diner named after it.

They are gone now from the community but people are still drawn to the light.

Safety program targets young farmers

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A farm safety program is focusing on younger producers.

Carolyn Sheridan, the clinical director of AgriSafe, told the Safety and Health in Agricultural and Rural Populations (SHARP) conference in Saskatoon Oct. 20 that the AgriSafe network’s overall goal is to support the growing network of trained healthcare providers and safety workers.

“It’s so that people will be incented to get good access to preventive health care,” she said.

Rural health professionals, primarily based in Iowa, founded AgriSafe in 2003. It separated from the University of Iowa and became a national non-profit organization with international affiliation in Australia.

Programs include clinical resources, outreach sources, distance education and agricultural health risk assessment.

The college health curriculum is of most relevance for younger farmers.

Sheridan said it began when an Iowa Lakes Community College professor approached her in 1995.

“He said, ‘we have ag students who are going to go out on a farm and we want them to have more information about health and safety.’ ” The initiative has been altered over the years, but the original concept is still at the core of the college program.

For instance, Sheridan still begins every new class with a base line survey and screening. Hearing tests, lung function tests, BMI and blood pressure monitoring help get the students in tune with their health.

Sheridan said she tries to make the program interactive, by conducting fit tests in front of classmates.

“Safety isn’t sexy, but we can have some fun.”

One demonstration involves personal protective equipment. Students ask questions and learn how to properly use the gear. 3M, one of the program’s sponsors, provides every student with a package of protective equipment.

“We will show them how to use it, what it is used for and how to get more if they need it.”

P.E.I. company reaches out to community groups

Bulb sales | Seed company looks for certain traits before importing bulbs to Canada

YORK, P.E.I. — Venturing into the U.S. fundraising market has been a risk worth taking for Veseys Seeds.

Business has been strong enough since the seed and gardening supply company acquired Flower Power Fundraising last year to support new office and call centre staff.

“It’s good for business and good for local people wanting jobs,” said Shaun Patterson, Veseys’ online marketing co-ordinator.

“It’s growing alongside of everything else, but not at the expense of anything else,” he said, citing Veseys’ business in seeds, bulbs, accessories and equipment for gardens and golf courses.

Patterson said Flower Power is similar to the Canadian fundraising arm of Veseys, which has offered catalogue sales of seeds and bulbs to groups for 30 seasons and is the largest flower fundraiser in Canada.

Deanna Derbyshire of the United Church board in Kelvington, Sask., said the church has used Veseys’ campaigns for two years to support its operating expenses.

“We’re always looking for ways to add some pennies to the coffers,” she said.

The charity keeps 50 percent of total sales, with Veseys offering spring and fall catalogues, support, resources and deliveries to customers.

“A school would never have to get a big order in, sort it out and deliver it,” said Patterson.

“We are a one stop shop for them.”

YORK, P.E.I. — A job with a seed company is a dream come true for an avid gardener like Glenn Holmes.

“It never crosses my mind I’m at work, it’s very grounded when working in the earth,” he said.

Meeting and working with plant breeders and growers overseas are just icing on the cake for the bulb m a n a g e r w i t h P r i n c e E d w a rd Island’s Veseys Seeds.

“Before I worked at Veseys, I just bought them because they were pretty. Now I realize what’s involved,” he said.

Holmes said Dutch growers spend years creating new varieties for backyard gardeners and commercial growers.

“It’s like giving birth to a child,” said Holmes, who lists astilbe and tulips among his own favourites.

Holmes said the growers are excited to cultivate even the smallest changes in flowers.

“They are taking something that never existed and now it does,” he said.

Veseys bulbs have seen steady sales increases since they became part of the company’s catalogue business in 1999.

Veseys, which now employs a parttime worker in Holland, is the largest importer of Dutch bulbs in Canada and owns a major U.S. bulb company.

Holmes said the economic climate plays a role in the gardening business.

Bev Simpson, Veseys’ president, bought the seed company from Arthur Vesey, who died in 1999.

“When the economy is tight, people aren’t putting in swimming pools or re-doing landscaping,” he said.

However, he said the Canadian market is healthy and gardening interest is strong, noting the constantly evolving nature of gardens and people’s desire to try new varieties.

“For our size of population, we’re fairly in love with gardening in Canada. We’ve seen some nice increases.

It shows people are willing to spend money on gardening.”

Imported bulbs, which are subject to regulations and must be clean and free of soil, are inspected either overseas or at port in Halifax, he said.

When buying, Holmes looks for

various traits, such as mould resistance or trendy colours.

Markets are currently hot for purple and exclusive selections.

Veseys had exclusive North American distribution and naming rights for the new Dragon’s Breath dahlia, with a naming contest that attracted 9,000 suggestions from customers.

“People like the fact that it’s new, it’s a different colour and they can only get it from Veseys, so maybe the neighbour won’t have it,” Holmes said.

Sales for bulbs and perennials from Veseys’ spring catalogues have always been strong, but fall catalogue sales are quickly catching up,

said Holmes.

“You don’t need to have a green thumb to make a tulip or daffodil grow, it’s pretty easy. You put it in the ground and wait for it to come up in spring,” he said.

He said the company tests as many as 800 seed varieties, and is currently working to determine the best planting dates for German iris.

Garden seeds and bulbs remain the 75-year-old company’s mainstay, but today it also offers equipment sales for golf courses and landscaping.

The company is named for Arthur Vesey, who died in 1999. Current president Bev Simpson bought the company, which today employs up to 100 people during the busy season.

ON THE FARM | GOAT FARM

Alta. couple takes an unexpected journey with goats Goat dairy | Former ranchers take on a growing goat herd and organic milk processing

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — When Patrick Bos graduated from college, the last thing he expected to do in the future was own a goat dairy.

He would have been even more shocked to see a goat and cow milk processing plant in his future.

“I would have said they were crazy,” he said.

Today, Patrick and Cherylynn Bos operate Rock Ridge Dairies, one of the largest goat dairies in Alberta, and one of the largest on-farm milk and cheese processing plants.

The couple milks 900 goats and hopes to be milking 1,200 in their new rotary milking parlour by spring.

They process 18,000 litres of goat milk and 10,000 to 12,000 litres of organic cow milk each month at the plant.

The young couple started their farming career with 50 beef heifers, but it didn’t take much math to recognize that the heifers wouldn’t pay the farm bills.

Instead, the couple began milking goats and shipping the milk to a new goat milk dairy, Nutricia Dairy, in nearby Ponoka. However, payments were sporadic and the Boses were forced to keep their day jobs to pay the farm bills.

“It was frustrating to get up at four before work and maybe not get paid for that work,” Cherylynn said.

“It was a tough place for us to be, but we felt we were meant to stay in.”

The deal with Nutricia ended after four years when the plant closed, and the couple began shipping their goat milk to another plant. The owner wanted to retire and encouraged the Boses to start their own plant.

“We didn’t know what we were getting into. We were very young and naive,” she said.

They slowly learned to make chevre and feta cheese with their goat’s milk and establish a market for their fluid goat’s milk.

Saxby, an organic cow milk proces-

sor, went out of business a few years ago and the Boses took on the production of organic milk production as well. It was one more revenue stream and another use for their expensive, stainless steel processing equipment.

“It gave us some legs,” Cherylynn said.

The cow milk is organic, but the goat milk isn’t.

“It’s already a very niche market. If we were organic on top of that, we could never get the returns,” she said.

They also bring milk from other goat dairies for processing.

The cow milk is pasteurized and separated into skim, one percent, two percent and 3.25 percent. Coffee creamer and whipping cream are produced before bottling.

They have four children, aged three to 11.

“Time is precious.”

It hasn’t been easy establishing a processing plant with complicated food production. The stainless steel equipment is expensive, and it is tricky making sure the milk is pasteurized and processed correctly.

“We couldn’t have picked any more high-risk, low-return industry to get into,” she said.

The machine that washes the cheese bags cost $14,000. A grant from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, helped pay part of the bill.

“I’m not ready to dish over more money for a dryer just yet,” Cherylynn said.

“The money does come in, but it goes out just as fast.”

The family might have a family vacation for the first time in 17 years.

It’s not just finding workers to milk the goats and work in the barns; it takes another skill set to process the milk, she said.

“Our knowledge is slow and progressive.”

The work week begins on Sunday at 8 p.m. when Cherylynn starts pasteurizing milk and preparing the machines for processing or cheese making.

Cherylynn and Patrick Bos of Rock Ridge Dairy milk about 750 goats. They process the milk for human use and also make cheese. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTOS She finishes her shift at 1:30 a.m. and Patrick takes over bottling the milk until 5 a.m. The other employees join the shift ,and Patrick heads to the barn to start feeding animals and milking.

Cherylynn gets the kids ready for school and then returns to the processing plant to clean, make cheese and separate the organic cow milk The rest of the week is similar with

both Cherylynn and Patrick working long days.

Friday afternoons are dedicated to marketing, returning emails and other paperwork.

Cherylynn knows more could be done marketing and selling their product, but marketing is not her strong suit.

“I’m not generally good at selling stuff. For me to go to the city and meet

someone I have never met before, it is hard.”

Patrick hopes a new 90 goat rotary milker, large enough to milk 900 goats an hour, will help reduce the workload in the milking parlour.

“We think it will be the most automated and user friendly milking system in the world,” said Patrick, who travelled to Holland to get ideas for the new parlour.

F

or busy parents running out of time as Halloween approaches, there are some last minute ideas that may help.

For pumpkin carving, try traceable stencils. Many are available online and are fun to do. Here are some alternatives to sugary treats:

• sugar-free chewing gum.

• chilled water bottles or sparkling fruit juices.

• food that contains less than four grams of saturated fat, less than four grams of sugar and more than four grams of fibre (eg. whole grain chips or snack sized pop corn.) Fibre will help to stabilize blood sugar after consuming sugar.

• mandarin oranges.

The trick is not to make a big deal about the junk kids have in their bag. The excitement soon fades and they turn their attention away from the candy.

MARRIAGE | DIVORCE

Established relationships require maintenance Q:

Three years ago, we celebrated with my younger sister and her husband as they marked their 25th wedding anniversary. Today we are grieving.

For whatever reasons, they have decided to pack it in. They are getting a divorce.

This makes no sense to me. You would think that after 25 years of marriage, they would know each other well enough to keep it going. I do not understand this. Do you? If so, perhaps you could explain it to me.

A:

I am not sure I fully understand what is happening to your

younger sister and her husband either, but it seems to me that their divorce is carrying a number of messages for the rest of us.

The first and most obvious is that you can never take a marriage for granted.

Sometimes people think that they do not need to work on their relation-

ship as much as they had previously done once they have passed the test of time. That is not true.

A marriage is an ongoing process. If you look at those who have great relationships within their marriage, you will find that they are always checking each other out, asking how they feel and not usually taking for granted that they know all that there is to know about their partners.

My guess is that while your sister and her husband were celebrating those first 25 years together, they put their diligence to their relationship on the back burner, where it withered and ultimately died.

The second most profound message we are getting from your sister and her husband is that marriages change over time.

The marriage that once worked as two people raised their families together might not be as rewarding once the children have left home.

They may have co-operated well while raising their children but left behind their intimacy in the process. Intimacy between Mom and Dad can become more of an issue once the children leave home.

The third message we can get from your sister and her husband is that people change over time.

Men tend to be goal orientated when they are younger, driven to success and wanting to build good homes for their families.

Younger women tend to be nurtur-

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW ing, sharing their love and sensitivity with their children when they are most in need of comfort.

But everyone ages.

Men tend to be more sensitive and caring as they get older, while women often find an intense interest in the dynamics of either political or entrepreneurial projects.

Individual change, other wise known as growth and development, is a given within every marriage.

However, it is something with which Mom and Dad have to resolve if they are going to find the intimacy they need to carry on.

Sad as it is that your family is struggling with the proposed divorce of your sister and her husband, let us not forget that breaking out of old habits and forging new relationships opens opportunities for many people that they may not have otherwise had.

Q:

I have been diagnosed with low thyroid function or hypothyroidism.

I am taking the yellow thyroid pills, which are 0.1 milligram, but recent blood tests have shown that this is not enough. I have also been gaining weight without eating more than usual, and I feel tired all the time.

If I take the next higher dosage, then my thyroid blood tests show that it is too much. What should I do?

A:

I am guessing that you have been getting the TSH blood test, which measures the level of thyroid stimulating hormone in your blood.

This level is higher when your thyroid is not working properly and you h av e hy p o t h y ro i d i s m. T h i s i s because the pituitary gland in your brain is working overtime to try stimulating your thyroid gland in the neck to work better.

In Canada, doctors recommend that TSH levels should be between .05 and five milli-international units per litre (mIU/L). Levels below 0.1 units indicate an overactive thyroid gland, or hyperthyroidism.

The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists suggested in

2003 that doctors “consider treatment for patients who test outside the boundaries of a narrower margin based on a target TSH level of 0.3 to three.”

This was backed up by National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry research and presented in its Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Thyroid Disease.

“In the future, it is likely that the upper limit of the serum TSH euthyroid normal reference range will be reduced to 2.5 mIU/L because more t h a n 9 5 p e rc e n t o f r i g o ro u s l y screened normal volunteers have serum TSH values between .4 and 2.5 mIU/L,” the academy report.

As you can see, there is a big difference between the U.S and Canadian figures. You may wish to discuss this with your family doctor.

You do seem to be getting symptoms of having too little L. thyroxine because you are gaining weight and feeling tired. You may need to increase your dosage of Synthyroid or Eltroxin a little.

Your doctor is waiting three months to test you again because it takes this long for any changes to show up in the blood test.

Perhaps taking one extra pill a week might be all you need, but ask your doctor first.

Some research has indicated that coffee might prevent the absorption of the thyroid medication from 25 to 55 percent. Wait at least an hour before having your first cup of coffee.

REVIEW | SHARPENER

Easier way to sharpen knives OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

A

common problem for outdoor enthusiasts is the inability to maintain a respectable edge on their knives while on the trail.

Work Sharp has introduced the Guided Field Sharpener to help address this problem.

The tool is less than seven inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and one inch tall, which makes it a suitable size for a backpack, glove compartment or fishing tackle box. It comprises coarse and fine diamond sharpening plates, two ceramic rods and a leather strop conditioned with a microabrasive.

The diamond plates give the cutting bevel its basic shape. Once a plain knife edge has been set with the plates, it is honed into a proper edge with the fine setting on the main ceramic rod. You may then polish the honed edge with the leather strop, refining things even further.

The sharpener has a course setting on its main ceramic rod for basic sharpening of the cutting bevel for working with a knife that has significant curves to its edge. The small and main ceramic rods can sharpen the edge scallops on knives with serrations.

The guides on the sharpening system are set to 20 degrees on a single bevel, or 40 degrees inclusive on an edge with bevels on both sides. This

angle is similar to most western kitchen knives.

Work Sharp’s decision to use a 20 degree bevel means the tool can maintain most outdoors knives well.

Some specialty blades require different bevel angles, so bear this in mind when considering how to maintain these less common tools.

The diamond sharpening plates are held onto the body of the tool with rare earth magnets. The user manual and wrenches for bow hunters are stored inside the body.

The sharpener is easy to use even for a novice sharpener. The guides make positioning a knife intuitive and repeatable for each step. Almost anyone can work a small to medium

sized outdoors knife to a good functioning edge with only a short period of practice.

The tool can maintain other outdoors tools in the field such as axes, broad heads for hunting arrows, fishhooks, hatchets and machetes. Some of the larger items would require some effort, but getting them into good working form is definitely possible.

I am impressed with this sharpener and will be putting one in the family camper. It costs about $35.

PULSES | BRAZIL

Dry conditions slow soy planting SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — The absence of rain in the middle of October is threatening crop potential in Mato Grosso, Brazil’s top soybeangrowing state, as producers struggle to plant on schedule.

Ricardo Tomczyk, head of the state’s Aprosoja farm lobby, said planting in Mato Grosso, which accounts for 30 percent of Brazil’s soybean crop, has been stalled at around eight percent of the total planned area since mid-month.

“We should have reached 20 or 30 percent of the area at this point,” he said Oct. 15.

“Dry weather is disrupting our planning, and it could reduce yields.”

Brazil should harvest a record soybean crop of 94 million tonnes this season, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates published before the latest dry period. If confirmed, USDA figures indicate Brazil will once more be the world’s largest soybean exporter, slightly ahead of the United States.

Soybean seeding starts in midSeptember in the country’s centrewest grain belt, as soon as spring rain arrives and provides enough soil moisture. Harvesting usually begins as early as January and speeds up in February and March.

If you’ve been anywhere within earshot of a grower who’s used Ares™ herbicide for Clearfield® canola, you’ve already heard all about it. A lot. Because only Ares controls the toughest flushing weeds and keeps them from coming back. Which means you save time and money in the process. So try it for yourself. Once you see the result, we doubt you’ll be able to keep it to yourself.

(Reuters) — A coalition of U.S. farm and environmental groups has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn regulatory approval granted for an herbicide developed by Dow AgroSciences.

Jeffrey & Stephanie Gosselin get a visit from their Affinity ag specialist, Tricia Bell, on their farm just outside Shellbrook.

California, argues that the Environmental Protection Agency did not adequately analyze the impact of one of the new herbicide’s active ingredients, 2,4-D, before granting approval Oct. 15 to Dow’s Enlist Duo herbicide.

The groups are asking the court to set aside the EPA’s approval.

Widespread use of 2,4-D carries risks to human health, animals and the environment, the groups allege.

They claim the EPA’s approval violated the Endangered Species Act and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. “They did not do an adequate job,” said Andrew Kimbrell, an attorney with the Center for Food Safety, which is a plaintiff in the case.

“This was a rubber stamp. They acted illegally in approving this.”

The National Resource Defense Council filed a similar action Oct. 16 against the EPA to block Enlist Duo, saying the new weed killer will damage monarch butterfly populations and pose risks to humans.

The herbicide developed by Dow AgroSciences is to be used with new genetically modified corn and soybean crops developed by Dow to tolerate treatments of the herbicide.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the Enlist crops last month.

When used in combination with the new herbicide, the Dow products should help farmers combat severe weed problems hurting U.S. crop production, according to Dow and government officials.

Millions of acres of U.S. farmland have been infested with weeds resistant to glyphosate-based Roundup, which was developed by Monsanto and used widely by canola, cotton, corn and soybean farmers. Critics say use of Enlist will make weed problems worse.

However, the EPA said it had thoroughly evaluated the risks and was requiring many restrictions on the herbicide’s use.

Dow AgroSciences said it is “confident that EPA thoroughly reviewed” Enlist Duo and that the EPA will prevail in court.

The EPA has been inundated with calls for the agency to deny approval of Enlist Duo, including warnings from a group of physicians and scientists who said 2,4-D can be linked to health problems that include suppressed immune function and greater risk of Parkinson’s disease.

The lawsuit was filed by the Center for Food Safety and Earthjustice, a nonprofit environmental law firm, on behalf of Beyond Pesticides, Center for Biological Diversity, the Environmental Working Group, the National Family Farm Coalition and Pesticide Action Network North America.

EPA initially approved Enlist Duo only for Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. It is considering approving it for use in 10 more states.

Earth-Shattering, Shatter Reduction Technology The First-Ever Pod Shatter Reduction Canola Hybrid With its patented pod shatter reduction technology, InVigor® L140P provides growers with the flexibility to delay swathing or straight cut their canola, knowing that they have less risk because of the hybrid’s built-in genetic protection.

Save time, money and yield Considering the significant reductions in labour and fuel costs with less wear and tear on machinery, the benefits of straight cutting are numerous; but the biggest advantage of pod shatter reduction technology is the increased harvest flexibility you gain. With the enhanced yield protection of the InVigor pod shatter reduction hybrid, you have more freedom and flexibility in making your most crucial harvest management decisions.

The ability to delay swathing or straight cut canola with minimal yield variance is what the InVigor pod shatter reduction hybrid is all about.

Straight cutting and delayed swathing allows the pods to mature for a longer period of time, resulting in larger seeds, a greater pod fill and lower green seed counts.

How does L140P work?

The genetic researchers at Bayer CropScience found a way to select for genotypes which silence the dehiscence gene, creating a firmer pod seal/ seam. This significantly increases the hybrid’s tolerance to in-field pod shatter, while still allowing for normal seed extraction during harvest.

In addition to the built-in pod shatter reduction technology, InVigor L140P also exhibits lower levels of naturally occurring pod drop, ensuring all seeds end up in the bin – minimizing volunteer canola in following seasons.

The result is considerably lower shelling levels due to pod shattering and a substantial decrease in overall pod drop. Simply put, this hybrid has greater pod adherence to the stem and a much stronger pod seal. InVigor L140P lets your canola ripen safely within the pod, firmly connected to the plant until you’re ready to harvest.

Yield protection you need Heavy moisture and increasingly common prairie wind events can prematurely split pods and shell seeds before harvest time, resulting in massive seed bank deposits and subsequent volunteer canola management issues. However, with the pod shatter reduction technology built into InVigor L140P, seeds remain safely intact inside the pod. Pod shatter technology is not 100% risk-free and growers could still expect losses under extreme weather conditions, but clearly the associated environmental risks with straight cutting are minimized with this technology.

The patented pod shatter reduction technology of InVigor L140P provides stronger adherence of the seed valve and greatly reduces the effects of pod shatter. The results are increased yield protection and greater harvest management flexibility, including the ability to delay swathing or try straight cutting. In the 2013 DSTs (Demonstration Strip Trials), straight cut InVigor L140P showed a 7% yield advantage over InVigor 5440 at normal swath timing.

AGRONOMY | SEEDING

Planting delays threaten U.S. soft winter wheat prospects Weather woes | Wheat class usually accounts for 20 percent of U.S. production; hard red winter wheat expected to fare better CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Rainy weather that slowed harvesting in the U.S. Midwest this month also stalled the planting of winter wheat, which experts say could threaten crop yields.

The effects have been most noticeable in midwestern states such as Illinois and Indiana, where farmers grow the wheat used in cookies and snack foods.

Soft red winter wheat typically accounts for 20 percent of all U.S. wheat production.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said the Illinois wheat crop was 22 percent seeded by Oct. 19, far

behind the five-year average of 59 percent and the second-lowest percentage for this time of year since 1982.

“It’s certainly a concern. According to our best practices, we ought to be finishing up by now,” said Emerson Nafziger, an extension agronomist with the University of Illinois.

The delays helped lift July 2015 wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade Oct. 21 to their highest level in more than a month, at US$5.51 per bushel.

Prospects are brighter for hard red winter wheat, the largest U.S. wheat class, with a typical 40 percent share

of production.

Though a slow soybean harvest delayed planting in Kansas, seeding was 78 percent complete by Oct. 19.

Seeding was nearly complete in neighbouring Nebraska, as well as Montana.

Farmers in many areas immediately plant wheat into the same fields after harvesting soybeans or corn.

Agronomists advise Midwest farmers to sow wheat by late October so the plants have time to produce tillers, or stems, before going dormant for winter.

“If it’s planted late, then the trend is

for somewhat reduced yield,” said Chuck Mansfield, an extension agronomist with Purdue University in Indiana.

Forecasts called for mostly clear skies across the Midwest last week, offering a chance to make up for lost seeding time.

“It doesn’t cost a tremendous amount to put wheat out, so it’s something someone might gamble with,” said Jim Gerlach, president of A/C Trading in Fowler, Ind. Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures have not fallen as sharply this summer as have soybeans and corn.

For 2014, front-month wheat is down

FALL INTERNET 2014 AUCTION

14 percent at around $5.20 a bu., while corn is down 16 percent at $3.56 a bu. and soybeans are down 26 percent to $9.63 a bu.

Kansas city hard red winter wheat futures are trading near $6 a bu. after hitting a four-year low this month at $5.50.

Questions remain about demand for softer red winter wheat, which is not as competitive globally as hard wheat, especially after farmers saw discounts at local elevators because of quality problems with this year’s soft wheat harvest.

“There’s nothing that sends a strong signal that we need to have more of this,” Nafziger said of soft wheat.

Private analytics firm Informa Economics last week projected that U.S. soft red wheat seeding for next year would drop to eight million acre, from 8.5 million a year ago.

A provincial court judge has fined a former Cargill employee $7,500 for tampering with three waste-water samples in 2012 from the High River meat slaughter plant.

An agreed statement of facts said Pushp Pal Singh tampered with three treated waste-water samples containing phosphorus by adding a substance to the samples that reduced the amount of phosphorus in the samples before they were sent for laboratory analysis.

The water from the beef processing plant is treated before it is discharged into nearby Frank Lake. Phosphorus has the potential to cause environmental harm by creating conditions that can reduce oxygen required for aquatic life.

Alberta Environment limits the amount of phosphorus that can be discharged from the plant to the lake.

Earlier this year, Cargill was fined $80,000 for failing to immediately report the incidents.

One of Singh’s jobs at the plant was to conduct a waste-water treatment study project in an effort to improve the efficacy of the phosphorus removal process.

“Mr. Singh knew that Cargill was required to monitor phosphorus in its waste water and was familiar with the monitoring process,” according to a letter between Singh’s lawyer and the crown prosecutor.

In February and March of 2012, Singh added alum directly into the samples. The samples were then sent to a laboratory for analysis as if they were untampered samples.

In April of 2012, Singh admitted to Cargill managers he had tampered with the samples and resigned.

There is no evidence that the phosphorus levels exceeded the approval limits in February, said the statement of facts.

CROP PRODUCTION | WESTERN GRAINS RESEARCH FOUNDATION

New research program focuses on agronomic practices Systems Approach to Crop Sustainability | Five-year, $4.32 million program will study crop rotations and soil fertility

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Western Grains Research Foundation has launched a new research program aimed at increasing crop production and farm profitability through the promotion of improved agronomic practices.

The Systems Approach to Crop Sustainability program (SACS) will focus on crop risk management, crop rotations and soil fertility.

The five-year program has a budget of $4.32 million.

Participating researchers will be based at Agriculture Canada research facilities as well as Canadian universities, including the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Alberta, the University of British Columbia and the University of Guelph.

The research foundation spearheaded the program after consulting with producer organizations involved in promoting and producing cereal grains, oilseeds and pulse crops.

“Research in agronomy is vital to fully realize genetic gain and increase crop productivity,” said board chair Dave Sefton.

“The research activities involved in the SACS proposal will generate practical information that farmers can apply to their operations and increase profitability.”

Executive director Garth Patterson said the new program will include research in various areas of crop agronomy.

“It’s a chance to get some questions answered in areas of interest, such as the impact of high frequency canola rotations, the impact of micronutrients on crop fertility … soybean crop agronomy and so on,” he said.

Crop risk management will be a major theme with emphasis on fusarium management and the development of new agronomic strategies aimed at reducing diseaserelated crop losses.

Patterson said the foundation consulted with producer organizations that have first-hand knowledge of the agronomic challenges facing western Canadian farmers.

Funding will be split equally between the federal government and the foundation, whose share will come from its endowment fund.

Patterson said the SACS initiative is part of a larger WGRF effort to invest more money in agronomic research and ultimately to increases profits at the farm level.

The foundation has also commissioned a report aimed at assessing

the current capacity for agronomic research.

It is expected to be complete in the next month or two and will be used to identify structural gaps in Western Canada’s agronomic research capacity, Patterson said.

“I think it’s well documented in research that productive potential of crops is impacted by a number of factors,” he said.

“The genetic potential (of crops) is one factor … the breeding is a factor and of course we all know that weather is a factor, but another factor is producer management that can be applied through agronomy. I think

CETA lifts bison tariff

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Bison producers were among the farm groups that welcomed the end of negotiations for the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union in September.

But for them, the agreement represents a market expansion of major proportions: a potential 25-fold increase over current levels.

A 20 percent tariff is now placed on bison shipped to Europe, but CETA would allow producers to fill 3,000 tonnes of tariff-free quota.

“Ever y year, there’ll be 3,000 tonnes of quota available to bison producers on a first come, first served basis,” said Canadian Bison Producers executive director Terry Kremeniuk.

“It will be years before we’re able to move to that 3,000 tonnes, so that level was established with a longerterm vision in mind.”

Those 3,000 tonnes may sound small compared to the 50,000 tonnes of tariff-free access negotiated for Canadian beef and 80,000 tonnes of pork.

However, the bison tonnage is the equivalent of 10,000 to 12,000 animals, depending on size.

“That’s pretty significant,” said Kremeniuk.

Canada ships bison to the EU, but the process can be onerous, he added. The tariff will be dropped once CETA is established.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was in Saskatoon Oct. 17 to announce Ottawa’s support for the SACS initiative.

He said agronomic research into crop rotations, disease management, fungicide use and soil fertility will benefit producers and the environment.

“The future of Canadian agriculture depends on a solid foundation of scientific research and adoption of the best crop production methods,” Ritz said.

CROP PRODUCTION | SUSTAINABILITY

Australia eyes dam project to boost agriculture Water infrastructure | Australian officials explore irrigation projects to mitigate effects of future droughts SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — The Australian government is looking at investing in nearly 30 irrigation schemes and reigniting a longstalled program of dam building to combat growing water shortages that constrain agricultural production.

The country is a leading producer and exporter of crops such as wheat, sugar and cotton, but production faces risks from prolonged drought across much of the Australian east coast.

Australia had previously floated

ambitious plans to use dams and irrigation to develop marginal land in the outback, but financial and environmental constraints mean it has not built a major new dam in decades.

According to a government policy paper, the amount of water available per capita from dams has fallen more than 20 percent since 1980 and is set to drop further.

Agriculture minister Barnaby Joyce said investment in water infrastructure must be prioritized, but the paper did not say how the new proj-

ects might be funded or give financial detail.

“Effective water infrastructure will be critical to the profitability and productivity of Australian agriculture into the future,” Joyce.

Australia is considering some level of investment in 28 potential projects, with six irrigation projects in Tasmania and Victoria seen as the most feasible within the next 12 months.

Longer term, the paper highlighted two potential dams in Queensland, which has suffered the biggest

impact from recent dry weather, and sites in Western Australia and Victoria as possibilities, though less advanced than those further south.

“We had a big rise in the building of dams and that slowed because we basically built them in the areas that were feasible and we ran out of places that it was economically and hydrologically sensible to do so,” said Joshua Larsen, a hydrology expert at the University of Queensland.

Some of the new sites under consideration were previously considered marginal.

Pulse Raising.

Tony Abbott promised to be the “infrastructure prime minister” when he was elected last year, but the government has also pledged to control spending as public finances have suffered from a slowdown in the mining sector.

“As a government, we will be putting some money on the table, and using that to shore -up some of these (dam) proposals,” Joyce said.

Some of the investment shortfall in agriculture has historically been met by foreign investment, but ownership of farmland by foreign investors is a sensitive issue in Australia.

For example, a Chinese-owned company has leased nearly 20,000 acres of land in Western Australia’s Kimberley area to grow sugar and plans to expand production following the development a dam.

The policy paper proposed greater scr utiny of foreign ow nership through a register of land and water assets owned by non-Australian citizens.

Joyce, who was a leading critic of last year’s proposed acquisition of the country’s largest listed agribusiness GrainCorp by U.S. grain handler Archer Daniels Midland, defended the tougher scrutiny.

“As a nation, people want the overwhelming majority of farms to be held by Australian farming families,” he said.

“It is what makes us a nation and something that I am very passionate about.”

The government also proposed plans to unlock investment from pensions by exchanging money for partial equity in farms.

The focus on water security comes as Australia suffered the hottest year on record last year, and there have been forecasts for longer and more intense periods of hot weather.

The government paper also proposed giving farmers grants to help with the cost of expensive insurance protection against the effects of drought.

SOYBEANS | MARKET DEVELOPMENT

New markets a priority for Soy Canada chair Ontario farmer heads new organization | He says soybeans may some day rival canola acreage in Western Canada

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

THAMESVILLE, Ont. — The recently named chair of Soy Canada hopes his interest in market development will prove helpful as Canadian acreage of the oilseed crop increases.

Mark Huston, who farms near Thamsville with his father, uncle and cousin, said some industry players feel soybeans could one day rival canola as Canada’s No. 1 oilseed crop. Close to six million acres were planted this year, according to Statistics Canada.

“They think it could be much higher than that in the next five to 10 years, possibly even doubling,” Huston said.

“Saskatchewan and Alberta (and Manitoba) is where a lot of the growth potential is.… As you get different varieties that are adapted to the climate, you’ll start seeing more and more acres there.”

The Hustons farm in a region where soybeans have been grown for decades, and at three million acres is the largest crop in Ontario.

Manitoba follows with 1.3 million acres, while Quebec, the former No. 2 province, has close to 900,000 acres.

Saskatchewan is fourth with 300,000 acres.

Huston said the acreage potential in Ontario and Quebec has been reached.

He said growing soybeans on the same ground two years in a row is a poor choice from an agronomic perspective because increased disease and insect pressure reduces yield potential.

The Hustons lean toward a fiveyear, corn-soybean-corn-soybeanwheat rotation on their 1,300-acre farm, but sometimes soybeans are doubled up.

Two factors encourage farmers to grow soybeans on soybeans.

• Corn or soybeans are the most likely alternatives if winter wheat can’t be planted in fall in a timely manner because of the weather.

• The marketplace has favoured the oilseed crop in recent years.

Huston said his family weighs their own marketing options carefully.

With corn, there’s a choice between Greenfield Ethanol at Chatham, Ont., the sweetener and industry processor Ingredion Canada at London, whisky-maker Hiram Walker in Windsor and other buyers.

With soybeans, the family has opted for glyphosate-tolerant varieties, but every year they weigh the premium potential of non-genetically modified food-grade production.

Marketing soybeans overseas is even more challenging. Huston said working through trade barriers is a big part of Soy Canada’s work.

For example, Malaysia is proposing phytosanitary restrictions.

Gord Pugh from the council’s Ottawa office said two weed seeds, one fungus and several bacteria have been cited as concerns.

“The weeds are lambs quarters and jimson weed. The fungus is downy mildew,” Pugh said.

“We certainly believe that these are unnecessary requirements since, as we understand it, there is no significant soybean production in Malaysia.”

Other challenges include gaining access to the European Union for soybeans with new traits and moving more soybeans into to mainland China. China is a top destination for Canadian soybean.

“The problem with trade is it’s turning into a lot of games rather than being about actual figures and reason,” Huston said.

Soy Canada has an 11-member board, of which six are farmers. Other members represent processors, seed companies and food-grade soybean exporters.

The organization should soon be fully operational. It replaces the former Canadian Soybean Council.

Huston said his farming partners do not mind him being away from home because he brings back information that often benefits the farm.

The Hustons also have space for 1,100 finishing hogs.

PROVINCIAL POLITICS | GOVERNMENT AGENDA

Throne speech contains no ag, but government satisfied Transportation summit planned | Saskatchewan sets agriculture export record for third straight year

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Even Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart admitted there weren’t any specific agricultural initiatives in last week’s throne speech, but he said that’s because things are going pretty well.

“I think the main message is that this government supports agriculture,” he said.

“The throne speech sets out new directions, and I think producers can probably take from this throne speech that the government is reasonably satisfied with the direction

that we have been taking and that we believe most producers are.”

The speech, read by Lt.-G ov.

Vaughn Solomon Schofield Oct. 22 to open the fall sitting of the legislature, said the government will continue to be a strong advocate for agriculture.

The province will host a New West Partnership transportation summit in early November to discuss with Alberta and British Columbia how to improve the region’s system, particularly after last year’s grain backlog.

“We need an efficient transportation system because the success of our agriculture industry depends on our ability to export,” the speech said.

The province set a third consecutive record last year for agriculture exports at $11.7 billion.

The speech said improved cellular and Internet service is critical to the sector. SaskTel is doubling available internet speed in 220 rural communities and improving cellphone service in 111 communities by adding to its 4G network.

Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president David Marit said he was happy to hear that.

“Farmers are trading their grain on the combine now so it’s important,” he said.

Doug Gillespie, president of the

Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, said he was pleased to hear the government reiterate its support for free trade agreements and reduction of barriers such as country-oforigin labelling in the United States.

Infrastructure upgrades are great for everybody, he said.

The government also repeated its intention to use public private partnerships to undertake those upgrades.

“My government is also evaluating an innovative proposal from the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities that would use federal, provincial and municipal funding to leverage private sector investment in rural roads,” said the speech.

Marit declined to reveal too many details other than to say SARM believed new funding models had to be found.

The board took a proposal to the highways ministry several months ago after consulting with members.

“Now we hear it’s in the throne speech, so we will wait to see in the budget of 2015 how far the province is ready to go with our proposal,” he said.

“We’re pretty sure it’s going to work out well for all parties.”

The government also identified rail

capacity as a priority and said strengthening short-line railways is part of that commitment. A spokesperson said that refers to the Canadian Transportation Act review and ensuring the provincial railways’ concerns and needs are met during that process.

Stewart said agricultural companies will benefit from a new growth tax incentive announced in the speech. The incentive will be tied to new jobs created by manufacturers and exporters working to expand sales outside Saskatchewan.

Meanwhile, the speech did not set out a timeline for new agricultural drainage regulations, which are expected next spring.

Environment minister Scott Moe said further consultations are going on after nearly 500 online submissions were received earlier this year.

“It’s been 30 years since they’ve been updated and I think it’s important that we do the full consultation prior to bringing out the regs,” Moe said.

The NDP opposition said it was disappointed there was nothing in the speech to address illegal drainage, flooding and grain transportation.

BIG MACHINE | MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL MUSEUM

Manitoba’s Big Roy still stands tall Tourist attraction | Famous 600 horsepower tractor has received hundreds of thousands of views online

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

AUSTIN, Man. — Of all the tourist attractions in Western Canada, from wildlife in Banff to polar bears in Manitoba, Jeremy Progein of Switzerland travelled to Canada to see a different beast.

In October, he and his wife Karin came to Canada to see Big Roy, a 600 horsepower Versatile tractor at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in Austin.

Following his two-hour visit, Progein summed up his impression of Big Roy in two words.

“It’s big.”

Progein is one of dozens of international tourists who stop at the agricultural museum every year to look the Versatile 1080, a one of a kind machine with four axles and the engine at the back. It weighs nearly 30 tonnes.

Versatile made only one of the tractors at its Winnipeg manufacturing plant.

“We usually ask (visitors), ‘how did you hear about us (the museum)?’

Big Roy,” said Georgette Hutlet, chief museum officer.

“They’ve read about him in some farm publication, years ago or recently, and they’ve always kept it in mind and wanted to come and see Big Roy.” Progein, who owns a 150 h.p.

Massey and competes in tractor pulls in Switzerland as a hobby, saw the Versatile tractor in a book.

Other museum visitors have seen the tractor in a YouTube video show-

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BIG ROY • Versatile built the Model 1080 in 1977, possibly as part of a “horsepower warâ€? with other tractor manufacturers. • Its design is unusual. The tractor has four axles and eight wheel drive. The 600 h.p. Cummins diesel engine is located behind the cab, and the fuel tank is in front of the cab. • The tractor articulates between the second and third axles so that it can be steered. • It’s impossible to see behind the tractor with the engine and two axles behind the cab. Versatile installed a camera on the back and a TV monitor in the cab so that the

Big Roy drives most of the traffic to the museum’s website, she added. “The breakdown of visitors to our website, you can tell what they looked at and where they’re from. A lot of Germans like (Big Roy).�

The tractor also generates souvenir sales. Progein bought $179 worth of Big Roy mugs, T-shirts and scale models on his way out of the museum.

Hutlet and curator Tanya Wiegand, who both began working at the museum this year, realize they have something special in Big Roy. They are developing a plan to capitalize on the tractor’s notoriety, which will include restoration, promotion and a proper display building.

Versatile built the 1080 as a prototype in 1977, and the museum would like to have all its plans in place by 2017 in time for Big Roy’s 40th birthday.

Glenn Lennox, a museum board member, said the tractor’s 600 h.p. engine is in good shape, but there are other mechanical issues. “Some gears they can’t get it into right now because of the shifting cables (are corroded),� he said.

The tractor has non-standard parts that could be difficult to replace or fix because Versatile built only one, Campbell said.

A bigger concern is building an appropriate home for Big Roy. The tractor is now stored outdoors in a wooden shed with no walls. It’s difficult to get a good look at the tractor or take a proper photograph because it is parked next to other antique tractors and there is no

operator could see the tractor’s hitch. • The tractor’s downfall was likely its weight, which is nearly 30 tonnes. A single set of tires caused severe soil compaction. • Versatile experimented with triple tires, for a total of 24 tires, but the tractor was difficult to manoeuvre.

Apparently, Versatile had to knock down the fence surrounding its manufacturing plant in Winnipeg to turn the tractor around with triple tires. • The company donated it to the Manitoba Agricultural Museum in the 1980s.

Campbell said an Australian visited the museum in January this year to see Big Roy. Despite -30 C temperatures, he walked 500 metres through the snow to get a look at the tractor.

Museum staff and directors would prefer to have a more humane setting to display Big Roy and other showcase tractor, but the museum operates on a limited budget. “For these tractors, we’re going to need something like a double-long machinery shed ‌ built with insulation so it can be heated,â€? Lennox said. “That’s going to be pretty expensive. But the flipside is, we have irreplaceable artifacts here we almost have to protect.â€?

The museum continues to actively promote the tractor. Visitors paid $20 to drive Big Roy during Manitoba’s Open Farm Day Sept. 21.

About 40 people took it for a spin, including two dogs that went along for the ride.

Hutlet doesn’t envision a future where visitors can drive Big Roy any day of the week, but she wants to create a memorable experience around

BIG ROY BY THE NUMBERS • Length: 30.5 feet • Weight: 57,580 lb. (with fuel)

Officials at the Manitoba Agricultural Museum have plans to restore Big Roy and promote the big machine as a feature attraction. it and other historic tractors at the museum. “We have so many unique items here: to make them interactive, where people can come and experience them, as opposed to looking up and taking a picture,� she said. “(Maybe) there will be a certificate

(for driving the tractor) ‌ or a photo, to give it a more of a quality experience‌. It brings the museum to life.

It’s not just a place where you go look at old things and nothing runs and nothing moves.�

The museum may want to duplicate the hype and promotion of Big

Bud 747, the most powerful tractor in the world. The tractor, built in 1977 in Montana, had a 760 h.p. diesel engine and has since been upgraded to 900 h.p.

GM DEBATE | SEED USE PAYMENTS

Royalty debate rages on in Brazil over GM crops Who collects royalties? | Biotech firms attempt to force grain merchants to collect; some haven’t agreed SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Some soybean exporting companies in Brazil have still not agreed to collect royalties for Monsanto varieties, which could prevent farmers from selling a portion of this year’s crop.

However, Monsanto said 500 companies that purchase soybeans from farmers have agreed to police royalty payments at more than 3,000 points across Brazil, an arrangement that highlights the increasingly complex relationship between global grain merchants and biotech firms.

One exporter said earlier this

month it would collect payments on Monsanto’s new Intacta RR2 Pro seeds in exchange for a fee.

As well, Abiove, which represents global grain merchants and smaller Brazilian firms, told soy growers group Aprosoja in September that other companies were in the process of settling on compensation amounts.

However, Abiove said last week that a broader deal had stalled, citing lingering legal concerns that Monsanto could halt shipments on cargoes that contain soy for which the company

has not received royalties.

“The risks of possible future embarrassment to the soy industry from Monsanto ... may prevent crushing and trading firms from receiving that (Intacta) soy,” Abiove said in a statement.

Trading firms have not had to oversee royalty payments in the United States because farmers are not allowed to reuse seeds.

In Brazil, where genetically modified varieties have been legal only since 2005, it is easier for farmers to skip out on Monsanto’s fees and

reuse the seeds. Brazil is Monsanto’s second-largest market.

While some merchants in Brazil have been collecting royalties on Monsanto’s first-generation Roundup Ready soybeans in Brazil for a decade, the arrangement was deeply frustrating for them because they had to accept additional work and liability without compensation.

The industry has been determined to avoid a similar situation with Intacta, which includes a gene to ward off pests and was first planted in South America last year.

Farm groups believe 15 to 25 percent of Brazil’s current crop, which is now more than 10 percent planted, was seeded with Monsanto’s Intacta seeds.

Monsanto said farmers would have plenty of companies to sell their Intacta soybeans to as it continues to negotiate with Abiove members.

Brazil’s Intacta saga is part of a global trade, copyright, environment and food safety debate about genetic modification in agriculture that is far from resolved.

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 sued Syngenta last month for marketing the seeds in the United States, even though it lacked Beijing’s approval, estimating it suffered losses of more than US $90 million.

Courts revive Syngenta suit against Bunge over GM corn Case launched after Bunge refused to market variety CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — A federal appeals court has opened the door for Syngenta Seeds to revive a lawsuit it brought against Bunge North America in 2011.

The lawsuit is over the agribusiness company’s refusal to accept a variety of genetically modified corn.

An opinion in the case came Oct. 19 as Syngenta Seeds and its parent c o m p a n y , S y n g e n t a A G, h av e become the target of lawsuits over the same variety of corn, Agrisure Viptera.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a district court to review whether Syngenta had standing to bring a claim of false advertising against Bunge in 2011 after Bunge began refusing to accept Viptera corn because it was not approved for export to China.

Syngenta sued Bunge over the decision, and a district court in 2012 ruled in Bunge’s favour.

The appeals court sent Syngenta’s false advertising claim back to the lower court for review, while affirming the lower court’s rulings in favour of Bunge on two other claims.

Viptera corn has become controversial because China last year began rejecting boatloads of U.S. corn containing the trait, known as MIR 162. Cargill and farmers have separately sued Syngenta, claiming they lost money from the trade disruptions.

Bunge expects to prevail on the false advertising claim in district court, spokesperson Deb Seidel said, adding the opinion was a clarification of a ruling the appeals court made in August.

RAILWAYS | MERGERS

CP’s Harrison carries on rail consolidation dream Railway consolidation | Canadian Pacific Railway boss has had talks with American railway operator CSX Corp.

TORONTO/CHICAGO (Reuters) — Veteran railroad boss Hunter Harrison has won over many critics since taking over as chief executive officer of Canadian Pacific Railway, but he still has unfinished business: creating a consolidated North American railway.

However, he is running out of time.

That might explain why CP, Canada’s No. 2 railway with extensive operations in the United States, and the No. 3 U.S. railway, CSX Corp., have been talking about combining, even though such a deal would face tough regulatory barriers and alarm customers.

The two have held exploratory talks, which broke off last week with no significant headway reported.

Both companies declined to comment, but CSX CEO Michael Ward said Oct. 15 that more big U.S. rail mergers could hurt service.

Harrison, however, made it clear during a conference with analysts last week that CP would entertain offers.

Harrison, 69, the former CEO of Canadian National Railway, has touted the value of consolidation for years. He said creation of a new transcontinental railroad could improve congestion around Chicago, where east- and west-based railways meet and hand off cargo, a process that can take days. “ There is a point, and we are approaching that point right now in Chicago during winter, when you can’t handle all the business. Now what are we going to do in 10 years?” Harrison said at a CP investor event Oct. 1.

“Do we wait to get in solid gridlock and then address it?”

Harrison has spent his career preaching the benefits of tightly scheduled systems at railways across North America, first at Illinois Central, then at CN and now at CP. A deal with CSX would add scale to the dream.

T h e ma n w h o h o s t s “ Hu nt e r camps” to personally train workers has never been shy about making sure his script is followed. At CN, a screen installed in his office let him monitor every train in the network, and he was known for calling workers directly to ask why a train was not moving.

“I think it’s always been in the back of his mind, when he said mergers were good — it wasn’t just that mergers in general were good. It was that mergers and thereby extending his system was good,” said rails analyst Anthony Hatch.

Combining CP and CSX to create a transcontinental railway could inspire copycat deals among other Class I railways, transforming the U.S. system. The U.S. Surface Transp o r t a t i o n B o a rd , w h i c h m u s t approve any deal, might balk.

Hatch said the time is wrong to propose a deal, given shippers’ frustration with railways, perhaps especially with CP, and he sees integrating CSX as complex and risky.

Rodney Kreunen, who was Wisconsin’s state railroad commissioner from 1996 to 2008, recalls a meeting a decade ago at which Harrison said that railroads must combine to be truly efficient: “I’m not surprised that he would be interested in CSX,” Kreunen said.

When Harrison was at CN but

before he became CEO, its 1999-2000 bid to buy Burlington Northern Santa Fe was blocked by U.S. regulators.

Any new deal could kick off years of regulatory wrangling. And with a successor in the wings, Harrison, who has said he will likely not be around by 2018, must get moving.

Harrison, who took his first railway job — greasing bearings on rail cars — more than 50 years ago, seemed to be finished his career in 2009 when he ended a six-year stint as CEO of CN. But when billionaire investor William Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management prepared an activist campaign to re-energize CP

Do we wait to get in solid gridlock and then address it?

HUNTER HARRISON CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY

in 2011, Ackman went looking for Harrison to be his champion. He found him raising show horses in Connecticut.

Harrison makes the trains run on time, moving more cargo with less equipment, and that makes his rail-

ways profitable. That was the pitch that convinced CP’s investors to vote in Pershing’s slate of directors, and that made Harrison boss of another Class I railway in 2012.

“If you can apply some of their (CP management’s) precision scheduling railroad techniques to other rails, you’d have a much more efficient system,” Ackman said. “I defer to Hunter ... but I think he believes that there are combinations that will need to happen.”

CP’s operations have improved under Harrison, but the railway, like most of its rivals, has been plagued by problems in Chicago.

“Chicago is a cesspool of North

American railroads. It’s a roach motel — anything can go in, nothing can leave,” said Trains Magazine’s Fred Frailey, who has covered the industry for three decades.

Much of the cargo has to switch railroads in the busy interchange, changing crews. Delays ripple out across the continent.

Harrison said CP has offered to buy, lease or at least operate the small switching lines that knit together North America’s major railways at Chicago.

“We think we’re pretty good at operating terminals, and we could do a better job.”

PEST CONTROL | SOUTH AMERICAN THREAT

Coffee-threatening bug breaks out in Colombia Coffee borer affects only a few regions | Country’s producers have become experienced in controlling the insect BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) — An insect that eats only coffee beans has multiplied rapidly in a small number of Colombian farming regions this year because of warmer weather.

However, the infestation is limited and there is no major threat to the crop, a coffee official said.

Carlos Uribe, the top agronomist at the farmer-funded National Coffee Federation, said specific coffee areas had reported infestation rates as high as eight percent compared to a nationwide level of two percent, but few areas were hit overall.

“It’s only a minimal amount of the country,” he said.

“The problem is that its food is the part that’s worth money.

The insect was first detected in Colombia in 1988 and had infected one-quarter of the crop by the early 1990s.

The coffee borer, a small beetle-like insect, lays eggs in the coffee cherry, which mature into larvae that devour the bean growing inside.

Infestations can spread rapidly and slash production, but farmers can control it.

The pest has appeared recently in small areas of Caldas, Quindio, Antioquia and Valle provinces.

The arabica coffee market, already roiled by a drought-hit Brazilian crop this year, has seen huge volatility in the last year.

ICE arabica coffee futures are trading at the highest for the spot contract since January 2012.

However, this year ’s war mer weather has given the coffee borer an advantage, shortening its reproductive cycle to around 25 days instead of 30 and boosting its food supply

because coffee beans usually decompose more slowly in dryness and warmth.

The chance of drier-than-usual weather in the next few months has prompted the federation’s agronomists to emphasize control of the pest by taking care not to leave ripe fruit on the branches or on the ground, where borers lay in wait for the next crop.

“If it doesn’t rain, the coffee fruit (won’t rot) and will continue to feed the insects, which could enable them to go on to damage the next

Bragging Rights.

crop,” Uribe said.

“That’s why it’s important to clear ripe cherries away.”

The critical period for sweeping up will be from the late stages of the current harvest around November until around February, when coffee pickers star t to abandon their fields.

Coffee borers also exist in the world’s top coffee grower, Brazil, and a surge this year amid drought and heat prompted its government to fast track the licensing of a new pesticide to control it.

AGRICULTURE, LIFE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE | ANNIVERSARY

University celebrates soil Ag at the University of Alberta | School opened in 1915 with 16 students

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — It was billed as a 100th anniversary celebration for the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences but turned into a love-in about soil and water.

What connected the panelists was a love and respect for soil.

Former Alberta premier and agriculture minister Ed Stelmach said he is still disturbed about driving to Beaumont, just south of Edmonton, when he was premier and watching construction workers bury a culvert for a new subdivision.

“I looked where they were placing the culvert, in six feet of black soil, and they were going to cover it up with concrete. It hurts,” said Stelmach, one of the panelists in the ALES celebration, along with greenhouse owner Jim Hole, economist Janet Fast and soil and water expert Bill Shotyk.

“My grandparents came here in 1898 in search of good soil that they could own. There is something, as you know Jim (Hole), to put your hands in that black soil and just the odour and scent,” said Stelmach.

Hole, who grew up in the family greenhouse and market garden busi-

ness, understands the importance of soil, especially the rich black soil near Edmonton.

“Soil is an absolutely fundamental aspect of growing in Alberta, and we have great soils in Alberta,” he said.

“We are in the black soil zone and have high quality soils that aren’t common throughout the world so we’re fortunate to have black soils.”

Former prime minister Kim Campbell, who moderated the panel, said creating a greater understanding of soil might be a role for the department or its extension division.

“A lot of people don’t realize that soil is not something that is easy to make,” she said.

“We think of dirt and everyone gets covered in dirt, but there is a difference between dirt and soil.

This is something our ALES faculty can make more understood by the public.”

Shotyk said he was surprised by the invitation to sit on the anniversary celebration panel, considering he grew up near Toronto and isn’t a U of A grad. However, he is now a water and soil specialist at the faculty.

Shotyk grew up hearing stories about farming from his father, who emigrated from Ukraine and was curious about farming.

“At some point I asked him to buy us one and he did. It’s not every dad

that goes out and buys a farm. He bought this little farm and I fell in love,” said Shotyk.

“Not every father is in a position to buy a farm for his kids, but if you don’t have your own farm, not to worry, the University of Alberta has several. These are wonderful opportunities for people to go out there and dig a hole and get their hands dirty.

That is when you begin to understand what soil is and plant roots are and water flow.”

The university faculty plans to spend the next year celebrating the faculty’s 100 years from 1915 to 2015.

It evolved from two professors and 16 students during the First World War to 1,600 undergraduates and 500 graduate students today.

Sask. seed company promises growers higher wheat yields FP Genetics program will compensate growers if its CWRS varieties don’t generate more revenue

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatchewan-based seed company has come up with a novel way to boost seed sales in Western Canada.

FP Genetics is guaranteeing commercial wheat growers that fields seeded with any one of FP Genetics’s new CWRS wheat varieties will generate greater profits than fields seeded with bin-run CWRS seed.

Rod Merryweather, chief executive officer of FP Genetics, said the program allows commercial wheat growers in Western Canada to buy new seed without taking on financial risk.

“We’ve developed a program that allows a grower to upgrade their wheat genetics at no risk to them,” Merryweather said.

“The grower simply has to register … (and plant) … our variety side-byside with their current variety and use the same agronomic package.”

“If our variety doesn’t net out more on the bottom line, we’ll pay the grower the difference.”

FP Genetics is a six-year-old company based in Regina. It is owned by more than 150 seed growers across the Prairies who grow and sell certified seed.

The company owns the rights to 60 seed varieties.

Only the company’s newer CWRS offerings are eligible for the promotion.

Those var ieties include CD C Utmost, AC Muchmore and CDC Plentiful.

Merryweather said 80 percent of the wheat planted in Saskatchewan is seeded with bin run seed.

FP Genetics shareholders believe commercial grain farmers are leaving money on the table by not upgrading their wheat varieties more frequently.

Farmers can get more details on the guarantee by contacting a FP Genetics seed grower.

Farmers who participate in the program can sell the harvested seed at any elevator and are also free to save their harvested seed for use as binrun seed the following year.

Merryweather said FP Genetics shareholders are confident their new CWRS varieties will outperform other older wheat varieties in the same wheat class.

“We know what the outcome will be,” Merryweather said.

“We’re confident that our certified seed will beat the current (bin run) seed being used by the farmer.”

Growers who sign up for the program will have their production monitored by FP Genetics field staff to ensure accuracy.

Groups want return of wild buffalo Northern Tribes Buffalo Treaty | First Nations groups, with more than six million acres of land, sign agreement

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It is said that buffalo herds on North America’s Great Plains were once so large that it could take seven hours for one of them to pass.

Today there are about 20,000 wild buffalo, but a multi-nation treaty signed by Canadian and U.S. Indian bands last month affirms First Nations’ desire to restore free-range buffalo to reserves under native control.

Collectively, the tribes control more than six million acres of land.

Signatories to the Northern Tribes Buffalo Treaty included Alberta’s Blood Tribe, Siksika Nation, Piikani Nation and Tsuu T’ina Nation, as well as Montana’s Blackfeet Nation and other American tribes including Assiniboine, Gros Ventre, Sioux, Salish and Kootenai.

The goal is to return buffalo to native lands, restore grassland habitat and renew the cultural and spiritual relationships tribes had with the animals.

Har vey Locke, a driving force behind an effort to locate a wild buffalo herd in Banff National Park, attended the treaty-signing near Browning, Montana.

“It was very powerful. It was a very calm and warm and positive experience,” he said.

“Among other things, it was the first time in 150 years that Blackfoot people from Canada, Blackfeet people from Montana, Assiniboine people from eastern Montana, Sarcee people from Canada and … Salish people have all gathered in the same place to do a treaty among themselves.”

The Wildlife Conservation Society helped work out treaty details, which include commitments to

A buffalo hunt re-enactment was held as part of the ceremonies leading up to the multi-nation treaty signing near Browning, Montana. In it, First Nations people have affirmed their desire to work toward restoration of bison herds on First Nation land. | HARVEY LOCKE PHOTO hold ongoing tr ibal meetings, advance an international call for buffalo restoration, engage tribal youth in the process and strengthen ties between tribes, their lands and the buffalo.

The next steps have not yet been articulated.

“I think the importance of the treaty doesn’t lie in what it’s causing tomorrow but rather the idea that restoring bison will help restore the relationship these people have with their land and also fix one of the things that we got wrong in the 19th century, which was the near extinction of that animal,” said Locke.

Leroy Little Bear of southern Alberta’s Blood Tribe was among the proponents of the treaty.

Little Bear, a professor emeritus at

the University of Lethbridge, did not return calls for comment, but in an opinion piece he and other elders wrote for LiveScience.com, h e d e s c r i b e d t h e t re a t y a s a n important step in preserving native culture.

“More than any other species, the buffalo, or iiniiwa in Blackfoot, linked native people to the land, provided food and shelter and became a central figure in our ancient cultures,” he wrote.

“There is growing recognition that the absence of buffalo has led to deterioration of the ecological integrity of grasslands, diminished the health of our people and led to an incalculable cultural loss.”

First Nations maintain their deep relationship with land and wildlife,

but Little Bear said they are unable to fully express it in the absence of buffalo.

Paulette Fox, a Blood tribe liaison with the Alberta government, said discussions about the concept among elders began in 2008 and progressed to engage with non-First Nations who may be opposed to reintroduction of buffalo on reserves.

The livestock industry in particular has concerns about grazing and potential disease transmission with domestic livestock.

By 2012, partnerships had been established with colleges, non-profit organizations and various donors and philanthropists, and the plan for a treaty was formed.

“The buffalo provided a sense of self-sufficiency for many, many

tribes,” said Fox. “This is a really important step.”

She said there are no wild buffalo o n Cana d i a n In d i a n res e r ve s, although there is one commercial producer.

Terry Kremeniuk, executive director of the Canadian Bison Association, said his group is aware of the treaty.

“Based on my understanding, it’s at the conceptual state right now.

There’s a lot of work to be done to realize the vision created by that understanding,” he said.

“The industry has always been supportive of strategies that will grow the bison herd, and if this contributes to that strategy, I couldn’t see any reason why we wouldn’t support it. But it’s too early to tell.”

Hog waste treatment system looks for test site in Manitoba

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Vancouver entrepreneur may have the solution to Manitoba’s hog manure dilemma.

ATD Waste Systems, which has developed a process to convert pig manure into fertilizer pellets and water, is looking for a demonstration site to test the technology.

Victor Van Slyke, one of the owners of ATD, said Manitoba would be an ideal location.

“We have graduated to the point of commercialization … and we’re looking for a host for a test site,” Van Slyke said from his home in Vancouver.

Manitoba’s hog industry is at a standstill because producers and corporations are frustrated by the province’s stringent manure management regulations.

New pig barns are required to have an anaerobic digester or equivalent technology to treat manure, which may cost $1 million or more.

Maple Leaf Foods needs more pigs for its processing plant in Brandon, but Manitoba producers, Hutterite colonies and companies are not building new barns because they claim the regulations are excessive and too costly.

ATD Waste, which has 10 patents on its technology and eight pending patents, is talking with the University of Wisconsin about a demonstration site.

Van Slyke said Manitoba has some of the largest hog barns in Canada and the industry needs manure management solutions.

“We think there are people in Manitoba who would actually be quite happy to be part of a demonstration site, but they don’t (know) about us,” he said.

ATD owners, scientists at the University of British Columbia’s chemical engineering department and Hipp-Anvil Engineering Ltd. have spent the last decade developing the hog manure treatment system.

According to ATD’s website, the technology eliminates the need for lagoons. The process uses an ammonium stripper and scrubber to remove nutrients from the manure.

The water from that process is sterilized with ultraviolet light and the solids go into a biomass dryer and are pelletized.

Bert Monesmith, who sits on an advisory board for ATD Waste, said the science behind the process is proven, but the company has to demonstrate it works at a commercial scale to attract investors and customers.

“We have put this (concept) to our group of people looking for (investment) opportunities. They like it, but they come back with, ‘come see us when you’re further down the road,’ ” said Monesmith, who is a senior business development director with Tetra Tech, an environmental engineering firm.

“Once this has been field tested and all the bugs have been worked out… those funding opportunities

will then appear.”

One obstacle will be the cost of the technology, which Van Slyke estimated at $4 million. However, the capital cost can be recovered by selling fertilizer pellets.

“There certainly is an up-front cost, on the surface, that looks pretty onerous, but if you look at the overall return on that investment, it’s an attractive (option),” Monesmith said.

Van Slyke said the system is suited for a large hog operation because there must be enough manure and fertilizer pellets to recover the upfront costs.

“We did some estimating … and it seems that it would take about 60 cubic metres of manure a day to pay back within five years.”

Van Slyke said the closed loop system also recovers water in the manure and recycles it back to the hog barn.

“We can claim (the system) saves 80 percent of the current water consumption,” he said.

“Which, I think, is a huge benefit for most hog farms.”

Van Slyke said people in the hog industry are intrigued by the technology. He’s had inquiries from 30 countries, including China.

“There are 950 million hogs in the world and half of them are in China.

Their environmental problems are worse than ours,” he said.

“But they’re like anybody else.

They’ll buy it as soon as we can prove we know what we’re doing.”

Van Slyke, who is semi-retired from a career in accounting and data processing, said he’s confident the technology will eventually catch on. In the meantime, he’s enjoying the challenge of launching a new and unique enterprise.

“In the end, there is an element of satisfaction that we’ve succeeded,” he said.

“The other thing is … hey, here’s a guy that’s 85 years of age and he seems to be having fun.”

DAVID MARIT | RESIGNATION

SASKATCHEWAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS

SARM head eyes MLA seat

BY KAREN BRIERE

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

David Marit has stepped down as president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities following his nomination as a candidate in the next provincial election.

Marit won a contested nomination last weekend to run for the Saskatchewan Party in Wood River.

Yogi Huyghebaert, who has represented the riding since 2000, won’t seek re-election.

Well known for his work with SARM, Marit also farms with his brother in the Fife Lake area and has been involved with short-line rail development and transportation planning.

He was first elected to council in the RM of Willow Bunch in 1993 and to the SARM board as a director for Division 2 in 1999. He has been president since 2006.

He said he leaves SARM with mixed emotions, although he was considering staying out of the race for the leadership at the annual convention in March.

“I thought it was probably time to move on,” he said.

It will be up to the remainder of the SARM board to decide how to proceed without an elected president, he said.

Marit said his work advocating for rural Saskatchewan led him to provincial politics.

Campaign urges local shopping

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Small local businesses take the biggest hit as more consumers shop online or travel to the United States for deals.

A new online campaign called Shop the Neighbourhood from the Yellow Pages company offers free digital advertising space and mobile marketing to encourage shoppers to support local, small businesses. The target shopping day is Nov. 29.

Yellow Pages invites local businesses to enter their basic information online, which will be updated and syndicated to all major search engines. The program was launched in Calgary Oct. 24.

Julien Biliot, chief executive officer of Yellow Pages, said prosperous local businesses lead to prosperous neighbourhoods.

“The growth of online and cross border shopping affects local businesses and communities. Dollars leave the community,” he said.

The concept was launched last year in Toronto with plans to expand the campaign across the country.

A Statistics Canada report found cross border shopping by Canadians in the U.S. rose 72 percent between 2006-12. Canadians spent an estimated $8 billion in the U.S. in 2012.

Another report found three-quarters of Canadians research purchases online but less than half of local businesses have updated websites.

Fewer Saskatchewan cattle producers asked for check-off refunds this past year: seven fewer, to be precise.

Information presented at Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association district meetings last week showed that 177 producers wanted their $2 per head levy back, compared to 184 in 2012-13.

Producers actually pay $3 per head.

The $2 provincial checkoff is refundable but the $1 national checkoff is not.

The SCA administers the provincial money, allocating it to projects and promotional activities for the industry.

The checkoff raised $3.9 million

this past year compared to almost $3.5 million the previous year.

Refunds totalled $88,599 on 42,190 head, while last year the total was $92,125 on 43,870 head.

Arnold Balicki takes over from Ryan Sommerfeld.

The new terms begin at the SCA annual general meeting, scheduled for Jan. 22 in Regina.

ELECTIONS HELD

SUSTAINABLE BEEF

Only two elections were scheduled in SCA districts this fall after two incumbents were re-elected by acclamation and another spot was filled with one nomination.

In District 2, Philip Lynn defeated incumbent Ken Demyen at a vote in Regina.

In Swift Current, incumbent Larry Grant stays on in District 3B after a challenge from Will Lowe.

Returning for two-year terms are Levi Hull in District 5 and current chair Paula Larson in District 7. In 9A,

McDonald’s restaurants plan to begin using at least some sustainable beef by 2016, and producers must be part of the discussion on exactly what that is, said Tracy Herbert of the Beef Cattle Research Council.

She told producers at the SCA District 2 meeting that the multi-stakeholder Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is working to establish the definition.

“If industry doesn’t work with them to define what sustainable beef is, they will tell us,” she said.

Bill Jameson asked how retailers can already be demanding sustainable beef if no one knows what it is.

Herbert said producers can share their thoughts with the roundtable members, which include retailers, restaurants, producers and organizations.

Movable shelters help producers manage birds Pasturing poultry | Ontario-based manufacturer says units have been sold to western Canadian producers

There are two models of movable Cackellac shelters for pastured poultry: an eight-by-10 foot shelter, pictured above, and a larger 13-by-16 foot unit. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO

ARTHUR, Ont. — Most farmers pasturing poultry have cobbled together their own movable shelters.

Now there’s a commercial option, thanks to a business launched by a farm family in Ontario.

David and Ellen Weber displayed their smaller shelter unit at a recent event sponsored by Practical Farm-

ers of Ontario.

As far as the couple knows, they’re the only commercial manufacturers of the shelters in Canada. They’ve sold scores and the business is growing.

“Ninety-five percent of what we do now is these shelters. We started four and a half years ago,” David said.

“We’ve sold units to all the western provinces and even one to the Northwest Territories.”

Added Ellen: “Because we have lots of poultry on pasture ourselves, we’ve learned what works.”

The Cackellac shelters are constructed with hot-dip galvanized steel and covered with heavy, 11 millimetre woven poly.

The larger shelter, which is 13 by 16 feet and 6.5 feet high in the centre, will hold up to 100 meat chickens or 60 to 80 layers. It sells for $2,295 plus shipping.

The smaller eight-by-10 foot model holds 30 to 40 chickens, is 4.5 feet tall at the centre and sells for $995 plus shipping.

A handy person can assemble the larger shelter in a day.

Both models are wheeled and can be moved by a single person. The larger shelter has four wheels with jacks to raise the frame.

The Webers operate their manufacturing-fabrication business at their farm near Paisley.

They are among a handful of farmers who were able to buy a small amount of quota two years after asking Chicken Farmers of Ontario for permission. Their 400 units allow them to produce about 2,000 meat birds per season.

They also graze turkeys up to the non-quota production limit.

The Webers use several of the larger models to circulate the birds across 12 acres.

“It would take about six years to cover our entire farm,” David said.

The Webers use fields that had been previously grazed by cattle. Farmers without cattle might mow their pastures before grazing with birds, David said.

He said there’s currently more demand than supply for pastured poultry, but it would be difficult to expand production because of the amount of labour involved.

There is also a savings.

“We still feed grain, but we feed less grain.”

Most of the birds are sold through retailers within the greater Toronto area.

There are also on-farm and farm market sales.

Practical Farmers of Ontario (PFO), which has a membership of 200 farmers and farm supporters, is lobbying government and Chicken Farmers of Ontario to raise the limit for non-quota production to 2,000 birds from 300.

PFO president Sean McGivern said the change would bring Ontario in line with what’s allowed in other provinces.

AGRONOMY | TILLAGE

Rite Way’s One-Till scores hat trick Tillage equipment | Has today’s one-pass tillage movement superseded yesterday’s one-pass tillage seeding movement?

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — Twenty years ago, farmers were flooded by waves of new no-till drills.

Today, the picture has reversed as farmers are inundated by waves of new tillage implements.

Many reasons are cited.

The wet spell has persisted longer than anyone could have imagined, leaving farmers to cope with excess soil moisture.

The abundant moisture has also created an enormous buildup of crop residue in many areas. Even in semiarid regions, residue cover has caused seeding problems.

Rite Way Manufacturing says trash contributes to another factor that’s less obvious: the layer forms a seal that prevents moisture and oxygen from reaching the soil. It also strands the seed in the top fluffy stuff instead of reaching genuine soil.

As well, chemicals have not proven to be as effective at controlling weeds, disease and insects as industry and farmers had thought they would in the 1990s.

The result of all this is that engineers have turned their attentions to building better tillage equipment.

This year’s Big Iron Show in Fargo was crowded with more new tillage offerings, but how can any one manufacturer hope to stand out?

“It’s simple. We build a better widget,” said Dan Wehrs, the U.S. manager of Rite Way, which introduced the One-Till cultivator last year.

Wehrs said it’s impossible to build a single tillage machine that’s perfect for every farm.

“Every farm is so different, so unique, the best we can do is design a

ABOVE: The setting for high speed, shallow operations with the Rite Way One-Till is 16 degrees lateral and 10 degrees up. In this configuration, the entire soil profile down to 2.5 inches is mixed, leaving no dirt clumps when the coil packers are installed.

LEFT: Is it truly a one pass tillage implement? “...it’s going to prove out to be a one-pass tillage implement in a lot of situations. But in heavy residue, I think guys may want to hit it twice,” says Wehrs. machine that offers as many configurations and adjustments and alternatives as possible,” he said.

“For example, the disc angle on this machine today is 16 degrees lateral and 10 degrees up. Sixteen degrees is

very radical. I think it’s the most aggressive on the market. But you don’t necessarily have to run it in that

configuration. You can do a number of different things with this implement.”

Wehrs said the One-Till can be set up to do standard tillage, heavy tillage or vertical tillage. Operators can install fluted coulters for true vertical tillage and adjust the angle from zero to seven degrees from the tractor.

He conceded that the One-Till is one of many high speed disc machines on the market today, with the typical depth range from one to six inches.

However, he said versatility is the difference that sets it apart from other disc implements.

Packer options include coils, single or double rolling baskets, harrow tines and rotary harrow tines.

Coulter spacing can be five or seven inches.

Suspension can be for each six-disc gang, each pair of discs or each individual disc. Discs can be changed out as gangs or individually. Disc selection includes flat blade coulters, notched concave discs or wavy selfsharpening concave discs.

According to Rite Way, section gangs with a slight angle are best for smooth ground with few rocks. The individual suspension is better for rocky ground. Section gangs at a big angle are best for drying out wet soil in preparation for seeding.

Adjustments can be made on the go from the cab, allowing the operator to make changes for varying field conditions. If the operator wants to smooth out tractor tire ruts, the centre section can be lowered without affecting the wings.

“The 16 and 10 configuration here at the show is a setup guys use for high speed shallow disc operations,” Wehrs said.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d use coil packers on lighter soils and the rolling basket or harrow tines on heavy gumbo soils.â&#x20AC;?

One-Till continues using the Rite Way Forward unfold design, which lets the operator go from transit mode to field mode while driving forward.

The Forward unfold is standard on the 32-foot, 42-foot and 50-foot models.

The transport width and height on all three models are 12 feet, six inches. Power requirement is 10 to 15 horsepower per foot for all three models.

Rite Way engineers designed the machine so it can be completely re-configured in one working day.

Wehrs said this eliminates the

Farm boy constructs baler out of scrap wood

New computer programs make traceability easier

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

It may not perform like a Hesston, but Tim Rhodes’ backyard-built, hand-operated straw baler is quite the machine.

Fourteen-year-old Rhodes decided to give it a try when he saw a YouTube video showing how to build a small square baler out of scrap wood.

“The bales aren’t terribly tight, but the machine does work. I made five bales for 4-H and another three for my chickens,” said the farm boy from Virden, Man. “I saw it on YouTube and thought it would be cool to build one myself,” he said. “I had no experience working with wood, so I just sort of found some scrap lumber at the dump and got a hammer and nails and started building. It would be better if it was made out of steel. The way it is now, the wood starts to bend when you put

on too much pressure on the plunger compressing the straw.”

The machine is easy to use. Two lengths of twine are placed along the b a c k w a l l o f t h e c ha m b e r a n d through slots in the front door. The front door is then shut and latched.

Straw is hand-fed into the top of the chamber. The hand-operated plunger compresses the straw layers as the bale grows. Once the chamber is as full as possible and the plunger cannot compress straw any further, the two twine cords are tied off and the front door is opened to remove the bale.

Despite his achievement, Rhodes isn’t sure that a career in engineering is in his future.

“Oh, I don’t know. I like doing chickens ... making things for my chickens.”

For information on a variety of hand-operated balers, search for “How to use a hand hay baler” on YouTube.

Bio Track and Bio Links | Company claims its software can help trace a cut of meat back to an individual animal

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An agricultural software company is offering programs that help producers manage, market and track their livestock, right down to individual meat cuts.

Betty-Jo Almond, sales and service manager for Bio, said the software allows producers to show off their good management practices.

“You can really tell the story of the product you raise with pride, that this is how we raise it, and here’s the information that can validate how we are doing this,” said Almond.

Bio Links, one of the computer programs, uses a code on package labels

that can include information such as where the product was grown, what it was fed while raised and treatments.

It can also obtain feedback from consumers.

“When you scan them, you can actually see the tenderness of the piece of meat you are eating, so there is real value in looking at that information,” Almond said.

“It also gives you the ability to rate it as a consumer.”

Bio Track is an online livestock management system that helps users gather information on animals as they are raised, such as birth, treatments, sales, deaths and breeding information.

It is available for beef, dairy and

meat sheep and goat operations.

Almond said such tracking information will eventually be mandatory for all livestock operations to help with insecurity. However, she said the biggest benefit from using the programs is the efficiencies it helps producers make.

“You can really narrow down on the areas you should focus on to see an immediate return on what you’re doing and find ways to improve,” she said.

“Without information, you can’t really pinpoint what’s working and what’s not.”

Inventory entered into Bio Links automatically creates an online store, which helps get the products in front of more people.

Almond said combining Bio Links and Bio Track provides full biosecurity. A cut of meat can be traced to the animal it came from, including the animal’s complete life history.

Bio’s website allows operators to access their production information with any device that has an internet connection. The company is planning to add the ability to use Bio Track in a disconnected mode when production information is collected in poor service areas.

“It can be as low as $175 a month that helps you with your inventory and sales,” Almond said.

“It can be expanded up to in the range of about $300 a month to be able to track a whole carcass down, and also manage your inventory and your sales.”

Most of the Canadian producers who use Bio Track are in Alberta because it was originally developed

by Alberta Agriculture. Farms in Ontario have also signed up, but it can be used anywhere with internet.

This has allowed Bio to become an international company, and it is now expanding into Southeast Asia, Brazil and the Caribbean.

Who owns Weed issues growing in Saskatchewan ditches your data? Effects of a bad year | Residents in some Sask. RMs say the province could do more to control weeds

BY TARYN RIEMER

PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR Editor’s note: This is the final part of a two-part column on data use in agriculture.

I

nformation privacy and ownership are popping up in conversations as big data develops in agriculture.

The issue is further complicated because the collected data is transferred over the internet and aggregated by different companies for a variety of purposes.

The information could be used in a way that might not be intended by the grower if it fell into certain hands, such as big business or big government. Farmers should ensure that they own all the data that they produce on the farm and can direct how it is to be used.

Producers might tend to trust their data to independent companies, who they can contract to not use in ways that are contrary to their interests.

Equipment compatibility is the other issue.

Some equipment manufacturers have created programs that work efficiently, but they don’t read or use data from another manufacturer’s equipment. This incompatibility requires producers to commit to one manufacturer’s equipment throughout his operation.

Producers need to easily share data between machines and operating platforms and collect the entire data package from a farm. However, this either requires standardized data formats and compatibility between different brands or a system that uses data from all brands.

And what are the benefits of big data?

• proper allocation of resources that result in increased yield and/or quality • h i g h e r p ro d u c t i v i t y o f l a n d resources because of better agronomics and inputs • adoption of modern technologies and the measurement of the results of the technology However, perhaps the biggest benefit is that farmers will be able to access a growing part of the market that requires products be produced sustainably and that they be able to prove it. With this comes the peace of mind that crops are being grown sustainably.

Growers need to understand that succeeding in precision agriculture requires dedication and discipline as they interpret data and put it into context.

Few growers have a plan or goal for their data, which results in it not being used in a meaningful way.

Producers should find a provider they are comfortable working with when developing a plan to maximize their data.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Most motorists don’t worry much about the vegetation they pass while on their travels, but it’s become a growing concern for rural municipalities in southern Saskatchewan.

Large populations of weeds grew this summer in the ditches that cross the RMs of Bratt’s Lake and Caledonia, said Kevin Ritchie, administrator for the RM of Bratt’s Lake.

Ritchie said the weeds were the result of the large amount of moisture that the area received.

He said they were a problem for

farmers because while they were s p ray i n g t h e i r ow n f i e l d s, t h e neighbouring ditches were not controlled.

Farmers want the provincial highways ministr y to spray or mow throughout the year so that weeds are kept under control, he added.

Joel Cherry, a communication consultant with the highways ministry, said the ministry has been in contact with people who had concerns in the area, but it was no more than usual.

Cherry said the ministry mows, sprays and conducts spot control to combat weeds along highways.

Cherry said people who are concerned about weeds in ditches can contact their district operation manager, and a weed inspector will then investigate the problem.

However, Rick Renwick, owner of Rengro in Milestone, Sask., said he contacted the ministry this year about the weed problem, which he referred to as a disgrace.

Renwick said ministry officials told him they didn’t have the budget to take care of the weeds.

Clark Brenzil, the provincial agricultural ministry’s weed control specialist, said the highways ministry is trying to find a balance.

“It’s always going to be a challenge for those transport companies because … it’s not their (department of highways) primary core business activity, and so money that goes into managing weeds on roadside is going to come out of asphalt,” said Brenzil.

Cherry said the highways ministry must take budgets into account when carrying out weed control, which means it needs to be strategic.

Its top priorities are road conditions and the safety of the travelling public, but it also wants to ensure it controls noxious weeds.

QUICK FACTS

COYOTE

• This successfully adaptive animal can be found in all parts of North America except for southeastern Florida, western Alaska and the Arctic tundra.

CONTROL

• Main diet is small rodents, but coyotes also eat berries, grass and road kill.

They’re the bane of many sheep producers across the Prairies. These intelligent, territorial animals can be difficult to discourage but there are ways to prevent livestock loss.

For more tips and information, see producer.com or visit bit.ly/ZM7aLQ

• Coyotes mate for life and both adults tend the pups.

Average litter size is five to seven pups.

Bison group urges registry uptake

Producers tout Alberta raised lamb

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian Bison Association is encouraging its members to register their herds as a way to build foundation stock and develop an individual registry.

The option became available in June, but few producers have registered their herds.

CBA executive director Terry Kremeniuk said he expects it will take a while for them to recognize the benefits and boost registration numbers.

The association says initial benefits lie primarily in posting information about herds on its website and listing them in its magazine, Smoke Signals.

Contact information for producers and whether they raise Plains, Wood or crossbred bison could foster easier access for buyers and sellers, said Kremeniuk.

The CBA office will manage the herd registry. It is separate from the animal registry managed by the Canadian Livestock Records Corp.

The CBA wants to establish breed standards and maintain a registration system, but it has proven difficult to collect DNA that would establish an individual registry for each of the Plains and Wood bison sub-species.

Registration of individual animals is relatively low.

“The lack of participation is related to the additional effort and cost associated with handling the animals, tagging them,” said Kremeniuk.

“It’s just an additional level of effort by individual producers that people were just not prepared to make.”

The CBA website said attempts to establish a foundation herd fell short of needed numbers for both Wood and Plains bison.

“Challenged by the inability to genetically differentiate between Wood and Plains bison, economic uncertainty and conservation interests in public herds, the Canadian Bison Association recognized a need to establish an economical process that would register either Wood, Plains or Wood-Plains cross herds based on records and phenotypic characteristics and herd history,” it said.

The herd registry model eliminates the need for individual DNA tests on individuals, although that is still recommended.

Herd registry requires producers to provide a herd history, a list of animals that are individually identified and a fee of $150. Photos of the herd bulls must also be provided.

Those who register herds will be required to file an annual update of any additions and the destination herd of any sales.

Rules require that additions to a registered herd be of the same subspecies.

“I think it’s a very good process by which the industry can get a better handle on the genetic inventory of the bison herd in Canada,” Kremeniuk said.

Lack of supply | Campaign urges domestic consumption to entice more producers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta Lamb Producers is once again embarking on a promotional campaign designed to encourage purchase of its product.

It’s a reprise for the ALP, which successfully promoted lamb during a campaign in the early 2000s before focusing most of its attention on increasing the number of producers to meet demand for lamb supply.

“Our new objective is, we want to build consumer awareness and increase the access to Alberta lamb,” said ALP Zone 1 director Tony Legault during an Oct. 18 producer meeting in Lethbridge.

Canada produces 42 percent of national lamb demand, and figures within Alberta are similar, said Legault, who raises sheep near Nanton.

About 48,000 Alberta-raised lambs are consumed annually in the province, yet many consumers aren’t aware of where that lamb originates.

As well, those 48,000 don’t meet the demand, the rest of which is filled by imported product.

“My belief is that we need that promotion,” he said.

“Even if you are under-supplied, you still need to have promotion there for the people that are supplying. They need to have comfort in

You might get the first bite because it’s local, but you’re going to get the second, third and fourth bite because it’s darn good.

TONY LEGAULT ALBERTA LAMB PRODUCERS

knowing that somebody’s working to sell their product.”

Zone 2 director Jeremy Honeysett of Coaldale said the new promotion will be balanced with emphasis on encouraging new lamb producers and supporting existing ones.

“It’s difficult to do both, but now we’re going to try and do both. It’s early days, but we’re really going to try.”

Ideally, production and consumption would increase to the point where imported lamb isn’t needed, said Honeysett, but for now imports serve an important purpose.

“We never like imports, but we can’t fill the market ourselves. Without the imports, nobody would be eating lamb because they can’t get hold of it.”

Legault told producers there is major potential to increase domestic lamb consumption. If the provincial promotion is successful, its tide could lift all boats.

“Once that happens, we’ll all group together, we’ll all be Canadian lamb and we’ll fight the imports.”

He also encouraged producers to maintain the quality of their product to capitalize on consumer surveys that have found a willingness to pay more for locally produced meat.

“You might get the first bite because it’s local, but you’re going to get the second, third and fourth bite because it’s darn good.”

Plans for the promotion will be discussed at ALP zone meetings, which are now underway.

Cows protected with Holstein code of ethics Dairy shows | Producers can be banned for disobeying Holstein Canada’s regulations

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Some dairy shows are coming under scrutiny to ensure cattle are treated ethically and that no one cheats to win.

Holstein Canada has a show code of ethics that explains what is and is not allowed at a show. Monitoring of shows started in Quebec more than 10 years ago.

This year, Pascal Lemire and his team of show associates attended 13 events from British Columbia to New Brunswick to make sure everyone followed the rules as well as educate cattle owners and fitters.

“Before 2000, it was so incredible what some people can do to the cow so the cow would win,” he said at the Westerner Dairy Showcase, which was held in Red Deer Oct. 23-25.

This was the first time the show monitoring program was invited to the event, which is the largest in

Western Canada.

“We try to find the bad guys,” he said. “I would like to be everywhere to stop the bad actions.”

Lemire wants to make sure that there are consequences for people who are caught breaking the rules, ranging from probation to being banned from shows.

The next step is to make sure all shows are aware of the sanctions so violators do not appear somewhere else and repeat the mistakes.

“It is so important to keep our reputation of Holstein Canada and the reputation of dairy producers, too,” he said.

His group works only with the Holstein breed.

“Not all of the breeds are on the same page as us on the code of ethics,” Lemire said.

The show associates wear bright green jackets and tour the barns 24 hours a day to make sure nothing underhanded is happening. They are

This three-year-old Holstein was the grand champion of the 2014 Westerner Dairy Showcase held in Red Deer Oct. 23-25. Entered by Norm Atkins of Continental Holsteins of Leduc, Alta., it was also intermediate champion and had the best udder of the show. | BARBARA DUCKWORTH PHOTO also there to help and can provide advice on what is and isn’t allowed.

“It is important to educate the younger people,” he said.

“I am not sure we can change the older people’s minds.”

Many people know that a code of ethics exists but have not actually read it. They often have questions about allowable medications or grooming for shows.

Each exhibitor is asked to sign an agreement to respect the code. It is the owners, rather than the fitters, who must sign and be responsible for what happens.

“Be careful so you know what your guys in the barn are doing,” Lemire said.

Infractions include filling the animal’s rumen with liquid (tubing), inserting foreign materials under the skin, roping udders and using objects to change the definition of the suspensory centre ligament.

Animals are inspected before they enter the ring.

“When the animal passes this gate, it is because it is OK. If you have an infraction, you don’t go in the ring,” he said. “It is not easy after the show to find a case. It is never easy to work after the show.”

Holstein Canada has also spoken to judges at their national conference about their roles. They send the wrong message if they see something

wrong and do nothing.

“Some judges are not comfortable playing that role,” Lemire said.

The Holstein Canada show ring audit program has three steps: • In the first year, a Holstein Canada team monitors the show.

• The team trains and invites local show committee members to shadow the monitoring process.

• The local show team is responsible for policing its own event.

About 160 Holsteins were exhibited at this year’s Westerner show.

The grand champion was a threeyear-old from Norm and Marj Atkins, owners of Continental Holsteins in Leduc, Alta. This young female also had the best udder of the show.

The reserve was the entry of Lampada Holsteins from Carlyle, Sask., with a mature cow born in 2007.

Honourable mention went to Westcoast Holsteins of Chilliwack, B.C. For more information on the code, visit http://bit.ly/1wBOxHr.

Because “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough.

We don’t have to build each product stronger and heavier than it needs to be. We don’t have to offer everything in multiple configurations and sizes to meet farmers’ unique needs.

And we don’t have to test each new design for hundreds of hours, and thousands of acres, before going to market.

But if we didn’t...it just wouldn’t be a Summers.

EARLY NUTRITION | NEONATAL CALVES

Managing mineral, vitamin issues ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

A

recent publication in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation provides important information about trace mineral and vitamin levels in calves from western Canadian cow-calf herds.

Dr. Cheryl Waldner and Dr. Barry Blakley from the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine wrote the paper, which describes the findings of a large scale study carried out in cow-calf herds in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Trace mineral and vitamin deficiencies contribute to a large number of diseases and conditions that might lead to abortions, stillbirths and neonatal death loss in cattle herds.

Sending liver samples to a diagnostic lab is the best way to evaluate trace mineral and vitamin deficiencies. The liver stores many of the important minerals and vitamins, and samples from it provide the best indication of deficiencies.

In older animals, we can obtain liver samples at post mortem or occasionally by liver biopsy while they are alive. Liver biopsies are actually not difficult to do and are

reasonably safe to perform in adult cattle.

However, liver samples from young calves are usually obtained only at the time of death during a post mortem examination.

This project was part of three larger studies, which were investigating risk factors for abortion and calf mortality in commercial cow-calf operations.

Local veterinarians carried out post mortem examinations on calves that died from abortion, stillbirth, or shortly after birth. Liver samples were submitted to WCVM from 501 calves.

Selenium levels in calves that were aborted or stillborn tended to be high in more than 97 percent of the samples. However, liver selenium concentrations were deficient in more than 30 percent of the calves that died after three days of age.

Vitamin E levels, which are often related to selenium, were shown to be higher in calves that were born alive than in calves that died at birth.

The study also examined copper levels, although copper metabolism in young calves does not mature until three to four days of age, which makes it difficult to evaluate liver copper levels.

However, bovine milk is low in copper, and so calves require some stores in the liver to meet their requirements while they are relying on milk as their primary nutritional source.

Almost 50 percent of the liver samples in this study would have been considered as less than adequate, which provided further evidence of significant copper deficiency levels

in western Canadian cow-calf herds.

Vitamin A levels were also examined.

The liver contains 90 percent of the body’s vitamin A stores. Calves are born with relatively small amounts of vitamin A and get a large amount of their intake from colostrum.

A large proportion of the stillborn calves and calves that died shortly after birth had less than adequate vitamin A levels. This may be partly because many of them failed to suckle and receive adequate colostrum.

Carotene, which is found in green feed, is the major source for vitamin A in cattle. They build up vitamin A stores on pasture during summer, but these begin to deplete when they are fed stored feed.

Vitamin A is not stable in stored feed, and levels can be low in forage that is harvested during drought conditions.

The study found some evidence that herds fed a loose trace mineral mix during gestation tended to have higher vitamin A levels. Calves from heifers also tended to have higher levels, which might be because many producers use their best forage and feed when feeding heifers.

Producers need to continue to work with nutritionists and veterinarians to ensure their cattle have adequate trace mineral and vitamin levels, especially in cows during pregnancy and through early lactation.

An aggressive new player in the c ro p p ro t e c t i o n i n d u s t r y h a s acquired Arysta Life Science, the marketer of Everest herbicide and other insecticides, fungicides and biostimulants.

Platfor m Specialty Products announced in October that it had bought Arysta for $3.51 billion so it could offer “total crop solutions” to growers around the globe.

“Bringing Arysta under the Platform umbrella will create a broad agrochemicals (company) that is uniquely positioned to provide farmers, globally, with a full suite of products to address their product and geography specific needs,” said Daniel Leever, Platform’s chief executive officer.

In a conference call announcing the deal, Leever said Arysta’s leading position in agriculture biologicals was a critical piece of the deal.

“Over the last few years … Arysta has been focused on two things,” said Wayne Hewett, Arysta chief executive officer.

“First, we have enhanced the differentiation and globalization of our value added portfolio. Second, we have heavily invested in developing a strong bio-solutions portfolio.”

The Arysta deal is part of a broader

trend in the crop science industry, in which companies are investing heavily in agricultural biologicals: • Bayer spent US$425 million in 2012 to buy AgraQuest, a supplier of biological pest management products.

• BASF bought Becker Underwood in 2012. It makes biological plant health products, including seed treatments and inoculants.

• Monsanto teamed up last fall with Novozymes, a biotech firm that produces inoculants and enzymes, to develop biological products for the crop protection market.

According to Monsanto’s website, a g r i c u l t u ra l b i o l o g i c a l s i s a n “umbrella term for microbials, plant extracts, beneficial insects and other material … (that) increase crop health and productivity.”

Microbials, one of the most promising areas within the field, are derived from naturally occurring microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi.

Inoculants, which help plants fix nitrogen, are one example.

“The same bacteria help aid our bodies in digestion and maintain our immune system, help plants digest nutrients, enhance root growth and protect them against disease, heat, flooding and drought,” Robb Fraley, Monsanto’s chief technology officer, said in a company video.

This year, Monsanto and Novozymes conducted 170,000 plot trials on ag biologicals at 70 locations in the United States. They expect to double the number of trials next year.

Hewett said Platform Specialty Products is well positioned to compete in this market because Arysta has also invested in ag biologicals.

“Platform will have leadership positions in bio-solutions and seed treatment.”

The Arysta purchase represents Platform’s third agrochemical acquisition in the last year.

Platform, partly owned

by American investor Bill Ackman, bought Chemtura AgroSolutions for $1 billion in the spring. It also bought Agriphar, a Belgian crop science company, for $300 million.

Hewett said global fundamentals are pulling investors toward crop science. The world’s population is growing rapidly and people are becoming wealthier, but arable land is limited. Farmers will need crop protection products to increase their yields and satisfy global demand for grains, oilseeds and pulses.

Arysta Life Science sells crop protection products in 100 countries and had revenues of $1.5 billion last year.

The company is probably best known on the Prairies for Everest, a Group 2 herbicide used on wheat.

Platform was formed in 2013 with a strategy of acquiring existing companies. It is based in Florida.

Yara profits off mark OSLO, Norway (Reuters) — Shares in Yara, which is still reeling from failed merger talks with CF Industries, fell more than four percent Oct. 22.

Its quarterly profit was up 24 percent but missed market expectations. Yara shares were still up 18.7 percent over the past year, however.

The world’s biggest nitrogen fertilizer producer, including a plant at Belle Plain, Sask., said gas prices had not fallen as much as projected and there was unexpected maintenance work at an Australian plant.

CF and Yara ended merger talks that would have created a firm rivaling industry leader PotashCorp.

FARMLAND | REPLACEMENT PROPERTY RULES

Farmers can sell land, avoid taxes with replacement property TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

P

roducers are sometimes forced to make the tough decision to sell farmland when the suburbs become their neighbours.

However, with land prices being what they are today, what do you do about the potential tax on the sale?

Selling farmland doesn’t result in

immediate tax consequences and in fact could open up opportunities for the farm to grow.

Tax consequences usually arise when farm property is sold for more than it was bought. Fortunately for farmers, there is an opportunity to make use of an exception to this result known as the “replacement property rules.”

Under this rule, an election can be filed to defer the taxes that would otherwise have been owing if land used in a farming business is sold and replaced by land for a similar use. This means farmers who sell a valuable piece of farmland and buy new farmland at a lower price could increase the amount of land they

own and worry about the taxes later.

The following criteria must be met for the sale of farmland to qualify under these rules: • The original land being replaced must have been actively used in the business of farming.

• The new land must be for similar use as the old land and must be used by the taxpayer or a related person.

• The land must be taxable Canadian property if the owner of the land is not a Canadian resident.

• A letter of election must be filed.

Additional criteria will apply, depending on why the land was sold.

Replacement land must be bought and used for farming within 12

months of when the original land was sold voluntarily. That increases to 24 months when the land is sold involuntarily, such as expropriation by the government.

As a result, finding replacement land within the required time frame can sometimes be harder than accepting the offer to sell.

It is important to note that the replacement land can also be bought before the sale of the original land and still qualify.

The new land doesn’t have to be located in the same province as the land that was sold. This could allow an entire farm to be relocated with little to no tax consequences. The new land doesn’t have to be the same

CP, CN post record profits

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s major railways continue to generate record revenues and record profits.

Third quarter revenues at Canadian National Railway reached a record $3.12 billion in the three-month period ending Sept. 30. Net income for the quarter rose 21 percent to $853 million, compared $705 million in the same period last year.

Revenue and profit at rival Canadian Pacific Railway also set a new record. CP’s third-quarter revenue was $1.67 billion and net income reached $400 million, up 23 percent from the same quarter a year ago.

Both companies reported their third quarter financial results Oct. 21.

“Clearly we are growing much faster than the economy, which is our game plan,” CN chief executive officer Claude Mongeau said during a conference call with investors.

“The results underscore CN’s commitment to investing ahead of the curve in resources and rail infrastructure and playing our role as a true backbone of the economy.”

Freight revenues derived from grain played prominently in both companies’ third quarter performances.

At CP, third quarter freight revenues from Canadian grain hauling rose to $248 million, up from $212 million during the same quarter last year.

Year-to-date grain revenues from only Canadian grain were listed at $721 million, up from $606 million last year.

At CN, third quarter revenues derived from hauling North American grain and fertilizer rose to $469 million, up from $363 million during the same quarter last year.

CP recently bid for CSX Corp., the No. 3 railroad in the United States, but the offer was rebuffed.

CSX would have allowed CP to reach into the eastern seaboard of the U.S., and alleviate congestion at Chicago, a key bottleneck.

“The North American rail industry is confronted today with the challenges of moving more freight than ever and the prospect of moving even more as oil production, crop yields and consumer demand grow alongside the economy,” CP said in a release.

number of acres as the original land.

As well, the replacement property election can allow farmers to “swap” land. In many cases, members in a farm family will want to swap land with each other or a farmer may want to swap personal land with the farming corporation. In these situations, using the replacement rules can help mitigate the potential tax consequences.

The criteria for determining if a replacement property election is applicable can be complex. Early planning and professional help can allow farmers to meet their goals.

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

Open Letter to Farmers October 30, 2014 RE: Genesis Grain & Fertilizer, CWB

Dear Farmers, On October 20, the CWB and its agent informed FNA that they have rejected FNA’s bid and decided to exclude the farmer-owned Genesis Grain & Fertilizer farmer partnership from the privatization of the CWB. They indicated that they could not allow farmers time after harvest to assess the opportunity of taking majority ownership of the CWB. This is despite over 1,000 farmers providing more than $50 million in non-binding expressions of interest in a compressed time frame of days, not months, and under pressure to complete the harvest.

Although FNA has been working for several years toward having farmers acquire majority interest in the CWB and transforming it into a globally competitive grain and fertilizer handling company, FNA was only made aware of the expedited bidding process at the end of May, 2014. Then, only after continued persistence, was FNA formally allowed into the process at the very end of August 2014, but only under very strict confidentiality provisions with the CWB. The inclusion of FNA in the process was recently acknowledged by Minister Ritz in an article in the October 23 issue of The Western Producer.

From that point, the emphasis on the grain side of Genesis in our communications, including this one, has been due to the extreme pressures resulting from the actions of the CWB and its agent. If the CWB privatization is closed with no additional opportunity for Genesis to participate, it’s important to know that Genesis will first focus on meeting the fertilizer distribution needs of ProjectN investors. Genesis will follow a path to returning farmer value through its relationship with the ProjectN fertilizer plant.

The ProjectN fertilizer plant being built by farmers needs a supply and distribution system to handle its product. By meeting that need in concert with grain handling we gain significant efficiencies in the use of farm capital. Not only is the capital requirement minimized, but operating expenditures will also gain from the efficiencies in having one set of infrastructure, management and overhead.* Still, by being involved with the CWB process, FNA has given farmers a glimpse of what the opportunity is all about. Further, FNA’s plan had a minimum valuation of almost $300 million and included a fair way of distributing that value to farmers immediately, based on commitments to flexible deferred delivery contracts. We trust that, whomever the CWB selects, farmers will see at least that competitive benefit.

Only solution focused on farmers’ profitability.

From the start of this initiative it has been made clear that Genesis will build or acquire as necessary, and if possible that would include acquiring the CWB. But it is important to understand, no matter what the CWB executives and agents do, Genesis Grain & Fertilizer will move forward and be built to give those farmers who invest the ability to capture margins in the value chain.

Regardless, farmers cannot be forced to simply “accept” what the grain companies or CWB executives decide for them. The amount of money involved is simply too significant for every grain farmer. If you have not already done the calculation for your own farm, if you delivered 1,000 tonnes of grain last year, you could have lost as much as $80,000 in excess margins. It is unthinkable that each of us would not consider how to stop that from ever happening again.* Giving majority ownership of the CWB to a (possibly foreign) corporation — with vast market power that plays by the same play book as current grain companies do, and as they always have done — certainly is not an answer.

The only viable solution is for Genesis Grain & Fertilizer to do what many farmers have done in many other competitor countries. We could create some level of competition, but, more strategically, the key part of the plan is to give farmer investors the ability to earn the margins on the handling charges and marketing earnings. There are, of course, many other benefits.

Genesis Grain & Fertilizer will recapture margins from grain handling and those being paid for fertilizer supply and distribution.* How much and how fast we build will depend on how much and how fast farmers decide to participate. But the core plan remains the same.*

All the best,

James Mann President & CEO, Farmers of North America Farmer, Hodgeville, Saskatchewan
