Predicting grain markets can be tricky

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Very different crop market outlooks are presented on pages two and three of The Producer this week.

Analysts at the Cereals North America conference in Winnipeg looked at over-supplied markets and slowing demand growth for biofuel and predicted that farmers should get prepared for years of disappointing prices for major crops.

The other forecast is based on a technical analysis of price charts.

Darin Newsom, a DTN analyst, noted last week’s crop price rally pushed corn above technical resistance points, marking what could be a major turning point in the long price slide since 2012 and the start of a long grind higher.

The two outlooks seem at odds, but both could prove correct.

A low could be in and prices could rise but remain well below the strong levels of recent years, challenging farmers’ profitability.

Only time will tell.

Markets hinge on BSE upgrade

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM WITH FILES FROM BARBARA DUCKWORTH, BARB GLEN AND MARY MACARTHUR

Insufficient test samples could jeopardize Canada’s ability to shake

the stigma of BSE that has hounded the cattle industry since 2003.

The country could be listed among those with negligible risk of BSE if no more cases of the brain-wasting cattle disease are found between now and 2016.

That could open additional trade opportunities.

However, getting that designation from the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) depends on enough testing to prove absence of BSE, and cattle producers are not providing

enough samples.

Canada-wide, 20,803 animals have been tested in the first nine months, but 30,000 are needed by year end.

Markets rebounding

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain markets have bottomed out and are embarking on a long-term bull run, says a leading analyst.

DTN senior analyst Darin Newsom said corn and soybeans experienced a bullish key reversal in October, ending a two-year downward price spiral and ushering in a new bullish era for grains and oilseeds.

A bullish key reversal happens when nearby futures contracts set a new price low in a month, recover to top the previous month’s high and end the month above the previous

month’s closing price.

“What we did in both corn and soybeans is establish these long-term bullish technical signals that indicate the long-term downtrend that we’ve been in since 2012 has come to an end,” said Newsom.

The reversal pattern is stronger in corn than in soybeans, but the market charts for both crops have given Newsom the technical signals he needs to declare a turning point.

“Certainly this is the type of signal that I look for and that I have a great deal of confidence in,” he said.

More BSE tests needed

Of those, about 10,000 should come from Alberta, and only 6,000 animals from that province have been submitted for testing.

“We will likely come up short of 30,000” Alberta Beef Producers chair Greg Bowie said at a meeting in Fort Macleod, Alta., Oct. 27.

Animals eligible for testing must be older than 30 months and either diseased, distressed, down or dead.

Producers are paid $75 for each animal tested, but many say it is not worth the trouble of keeping a sick or dead animal, phoning a veterinarian to do the test and waiting for the results before disposal.

Producers used to receive $225 per animal, but provincial funding for the program dried up and no more has been budgeted.

Part of the sample shortfall relates to the number itself, said Bowie.

Canada is expected to test a specific number of animals, but the national cow herd has shrunk since the number was set. He said rules that required a percentage of the herd to be tested, rather than a number, would be easier to manage.

Producers at the Fort Macleod meeting passed a motion directing ABP to lobby for that change.

To encourage testing, ABP has also produced a video for cattle producers. Speaking in that video, Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Dave Solverson said cattle producers might think BSE is behind them, but proof of a healthy national herd is still needed.

Former ABP chair Doug Sawyer said there is another aspect to low sample numbers: BSE manifests itself in older animals, which means they are the ones that need to be tested.

cow herd has gotten younger,” he said.

Gordon Krebs, a veterinarian from Didsbury, Alta., said the OIE also has concerns about Canada’s feed ban.

He told ABP members in Crossfield, Alta., Oct. 29 that the international group has questions about meat and bone meal entering feed. A ban on those products in feed was implemented in 1997.

Canada has had 18 cases of BSE since 2003, and the last one was in a cow born in 2004.

“If we have a cow born in 2009 (that tests positive), we have big problems because it shows our feed ban isn’t working,” said Krebs.

Sawyer said BSE devastated individual farmers, and he doesn’t want a repeat.

“We scraped by with no money or losing money. Prices are better now, but we’re still recouping from those tough years financially.”

Cattle prices have reached record highs in recent months and Bob Lowe, an ABP member who sits on the CCA board, said good times should not be jeopardized.

“We do not want to go backwards on BSE testing,” he told Zone 2 members Oct. 27.

“The reason we’ve got these prices is because of trade.”

The BSE video is part of a larger campaign to bring attention to the issue.

Dr. Gerald Hauer, Alberta’s chief veterinarian, said veterinarians have been asked to actively promote BSE sample submission. Ads, brochures, and pamphlets will also be used.

Ending stocks-to-use ratio (percent)

Record large U.S. and South American soybean crops will likely lead to rapidly increasing year end stocks and a record high global oilseed stocks-to-use ratio that will weigh on oilseed prices, including canola.

Ending stocks (million tonnes)

Analyst Dan Basse of AgResource thinks American corn supply will be at budensome levels for the next several years. As stocks-to-use ratios rise above 20 percent, corn prices will likely struggle with the annual on-farm average less than $3 per bu., although variation within a year could a range from $2.75 to $4.75 per bu.

The technical pattern emerged first in corn Oct. 28 and was followed closely by soybeans a day later.

“To have both corn and soybeans, to me, gives the grain sector as a whole that much more strength,” said Newsom.

Other analysts have a gloomier outlook, especially in light of the record U.S. corn and soybean harvests and plentiful global supplies.

Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said corn may have bottomed out but he doubts that is the case for soybeans.

Farmers are already talking about planting more soybeans next year despite this year’s massive crop.

“It looks pretty scary,” he said.

“The last time that ending stocks were as large as they’re expected to be by most analysts in the U.S., we had futures (prices) with a six ($6) in front of them,” he said.

Penner thinks soybean prices won’t fall that low, but he certainly doesn’t expect them to move higher.

“I think there’s another leg down that could have an eight ($8) in front of it,” he said.

He is more bullish on corn because acreage is likely to decline next year and there is an opportunity to increase corn consumption with expanding U.S. hog herds and poultry flocks.

Newsom acknowledged it is difficult to be bullish given some of the supply and demand market fundamentals, but he prefers to rely on technical signals.

“What we have to do is ignore all that because most of it is just noise,” he said. “Let’s look at what the market is saying because ultimately that’s what decides price is what traders are willing to believe.”

Newsom isn’t predicting a dramatic turnaround in prices. The corn market still has fundamentally bearish technical signals in the form of a strong carry in futures spreads.

“It’s not like this market is hugely bullish, but the long-term signals are changing,” he said.

Prices should stabilize and generally start heading higher for years to come, although there will be the usual market volatility along the way.

The seasonal tendency is for corn prices to move lower fall in the first half of November as farmer deliveries pick up. Newsom is convinced it will be a temporary downward blip if that happens.

“This is a market that is ready to get bullish. This is a market that is ready to go up,” he said.

“Long term (two years) we could see corn try to get back up to near $5.20 (per bushel) but it’s going to take some time.”

CEREALS NORTH AMERICA CONFERENCE | MARKET OUTLOOK

Big harvests, poor prices: analysts Huge stock carryover | CWB analyst sees bright side, saying low quality grain in demand by domestic feed market

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Low prices for years is the most reasonable expectation for farmers, analysts said last week at Cereals North America.

It was a dark thread that wound through a conference that contained few hopeful elements. A crop-heavy world situation has exacerbated logistics problems in Canada and the United States, and there are hints that Canada’s quality, consistency and reliability have been undermined in world markets.

“This is going to be a slog, we expect,” said AgResource president Dan Basse, who forecasted corn prices of $2.75 to $4.75 for the coming years unless a major production area suffers an “extreme drought.”

“The world lacks a bullish demand driver.”

Fellow AgResource analyst Bill Tierney said 2014-15 soybean prices will likely drop to $8.50 per bushel for March futures if South America’s crop is as big as expected.

The situation could worsen if the present soybean rally, driven by soybean meal shortages, convinces American farmers to plant an increased soybean acreage in spring.

“I think there’s a very strong likelihood we’re going to see soybean

prices below the $7 level next year at harvest,” said Tierney.

The Prairies produce only small amounts of corn and soybeans, but those two crops set the price for cereal grains, such as wheat and oats and oilseed crops such as canola.

The grim outlook is based on huge stocks likely remaining at the end of 2014-15.

Tierney said his preliminary analysis of vegetable oil crops and vegetable oil stocks shows that world supplies are at all-time highs, with supply exceeding demand by 24 percent.

“The world’s largest exporters of soybeans and soybean meal are going to see a sharp increase in their ending stocks,” said Tierney.

From 2006-13, crop markets were driven by overall high commodity prices and biofuel-promoting government policies. More corn was required to support the ethanol and biodiesel mandates.

However, that factor has evaporated.

“Corn prices had to rally every year to buy more acres just to meet the ethanol demand that was being built up,” said Basse.

“We don’t need that extra three to seven million acres every year (any longer.)”

The Cereals North America conference also heard that Canada’s west

coast ports will likely remain clogged this winter. The U.S. rail system is also becoming backed up.

Derek Sliworsky, a former CWB Asian representative who now works for a miller and food processor in Singapore, said buyers at his company told him Canadian grain was not only late because of rail problems on the Prairies, but also arrived with far less consistent quality than in the past.

He said his company, Prima Group, had to deal with problems such as soybeans mixed into wheat and variable weights of formerly uniform shipments, which at times prompted it to turn to other countries for supplies.

Canada’s quality-damaged crops were also discussed, but CWB’s Bruce Burnett was more positive about the outlook than many have been. He said not all farmers harvested bad quality spring wheat, and that feed grain supplies, while ample because of downgrading, are not burdensome.

“There is quality grain available in Western Canada on the CWRS side,” said Burnett.

Canada Western Red Spring and durum protein levels are adequate for most buyers, even if quality of much durum is low.

Much of the lowest quality wheat,

durum and oats will end up in the feed market, but Burnett said there probably won’t be substantial feed grain exports from Western Canada because feed grain demand on the Prairies is good.

“We’re going to basically use most of this up,” said Burnett.

Weather analyst Scott Yuknis of Climate Impact said the world is entering a period that could cause “harsh droughts” in some areas that would last two to three years at a time.

“Once it begins, it lasts,” said Yuknis.

It would be bullish for prices, but obviously only beneficial for prairie farmers if it doesn’t hit them.

Basse said the big picture of world crop supplies and demand is that the long-term commodity bull market is over and that today is more like the 1990-2005 era.

“This will go on for a number of years,” Basse said.

TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM | LABOUR REGULATIONS

Packers want speedier approval for butchers Labour recruitment | Changes to program give an exemption to primary agriculture, but not to the meat sector

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

DAUPHIN, Man. — A shortage of employees in Canada’s meat sector has caught the government’s attention, and a solution may be in the works.

John Masswohl, director of government and international relations with the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said the meat p ro c e s s i n g i n d u s t r y ha s b e e n struggling to recruit and retain employees following changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in the spring.

He said the federal government has developed a strategy to recruit immigrants for high demand jobs in Canada, which may include immigrants who want to work at Canadian slaughter plants.

“Where we see the light at the end of the tunnel to resolve this, is something called express entry,” Masswohl said at a CCA town hall meeting in Dauphin Oct. 28.

“The government is going to create a special class (for immigrants) where they identify high-need, skill occupations,” he said. “ I b e l i e v e w e’v e g o t t h e m t o acknowledge (that) industrial butchers fall under that (category).”

Employment and social development minister Jason Kenney introduced changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in June. They included limits on the percentage of foreign employees at a workplace and shortening the length of time a temporary foreign worker can spend in Canada from two years to one.

Kenney altered the program following alleged abuses by fast food res-

Three McDonald’s restaurants in British Columbia allegedly gave more shifts to foreign workers, while a restaurant in Weyburn, Sask., fired long-time waitresses to hire foreign labour.

Primary agriculture received an exemption from the changes, but the meat industry did not.

Meat processing companies said the changes would dramatically affect their operations because they cannot hire enough Canadians to staff their slaughter plants.

CCA executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft, who also spoke at the Dauphin meeting, said cattle and hog processing plants on the Prairies

are short 600 workers.

Ron Davidson, director of trade and government relations with the Canadian Meat Council, said the Express Entry option is not a done deal.

“At the moment, meat cutters and butchers are excluded from that (program)”, he said, noting it is designed to find economic immi-

grants for high skill, high demand jobs in Canada.

“We have argued from the beginning … that meat cutters and butchers should be classified as a high demand occupation,” he said.

“We have not received, yet, agreement from officials that this will happen.”

Worker recruitment | Western Canadian officials say it’s difficult to recruit and keep temporary foreign workers

• Federal Skilled Worker program

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER — Agriculture is headed for a crisis unless solutions for a critical farm labour shortage can be found, says the owner of a southern Alberta farm and feedlot.

Rick Paskal said he has scaled back his livestock operation, which involves lambs, cattle and processing.

The business has held off buying lambs and cattle during the busiest times of the livestock-buying season until it can find more staff.

“This week, we had to go off the market on the lambs because we don’t have anyone to feed lambs. I don’t know what the producer is going to do with his lambs. Hopefully we can get our act together and be back in the market,” Paskal said Oct. 30 during the Agricultural Labour Summit in Red Deer.

Paskal said he would not place an order for calves until 40 of his cattle pens are cleaned.

“We are very limited in the market in the last 10 days. Our order is not out

there. I don’t have the help,” said Paskal, who farms near Picture Butte, Alta.

“I say realistically we are operating at 80 to 85 percent capacity right now.”

Paskal recently returned from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, where he was looking for more workers. Three people have moved to southern Alberta, but he is still short at least 15 workers.

“I appreciate where the Government of Canada comes from and we’re recruiting as much as can here,” he said.

“We’ve done that. It is not realistic to only hire from Canada.”

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program once allowed packing plants to hire foreign workers, but changes in June have made it more difficult.

Paskal is worried Canadian packing plants will run out of workers and close.

“The result will be cattle going south out of Canada. These action will close plants down or lay off a shift,” he said.

“I have no idea what we are going to

do. This is really scary.”

Paul Wannet, human resources manager with Cargill Meat Solutions in High River, Alta., said the latest changes in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program has set the company back eight years in its search for workers.

“The renewal of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2007 provided us with an effective tool to meet the demand and hire qualified workers.”

Wannet said 651 of its workers have become permanent residents and only 45 have left the plant for other work. But that is no longer possible under the new rules.

Alberta pork producer John Middel said he faces a nightmare of paperwork when hiring workers for his central Alberta pork barn.

“I am working on this in the evening and trying to get it right,” said Middel.

There is no contact person at Service Canada to help with queries, and the government department shreds the application and forces him to start over if a mistake is found in the paperwork.

“What it does as a small business owner, it is telling me is, ‘we don’t want you to be growing if you are dependent on outside help,’ ” said Middel, the son of an immigrant.

Beekeeper Mike deJong said he doesn’t understand the logic that allows him to hire workers for only four years.

“Once here for four years, they must go home for four years. It doesn’t make sense. We can hire any other foreign worker, but not that guy.”

DeJong said he would like some of his temporary foreign workers to become permanent residents, but he only needs them for eight months of the year.

He has tried hiring Canadian workers for the busy beekeeping business, he added, but he either receives few applicants or they want a permanent job.

Bill Simpson, chief executive officer of Mushrooms Canada, said ending the ability to hire foreign workers has put Canada’s 50 mushroom businesses at risk.

In a strange quirk of bureaucracy, mushroom farms are not considered agriculture, nursery or greenhouse and can no longer hire temporary foreign workers. They are also not eligible for seasonal agriculture programs because the mushroom harvest is year round.

LIVESTOCK | HOG DISEASE

PED virus found in Alta. hog office

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Evidence of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in the office of a busy hog exchange facility last week is evidence the deadly pig virus is on the move, hog producers heard Oct. 31.

No pigs were sick and no barns had been infected in Alberta as of Nov. 3, but an environmental test confirmed that PED has made its way into the province.

Dr. Julia Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture, said the office where PED was found has been cleaned, and results of subsequent tests have yet to be received.

Tests from other areas of the same facility were negative.

Trace-outs are also underway and the facility has fully co-operated with testing, clean up and retesting.

“We have to treat all of our sites as potentially positive all of the time,” said Keenliside.

Evidence of the virus does not necessarily mean any greater risk than the industry already faces, she added.

“I anticipate there will be more positive tests this winter in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba,” she said.

“This won’t be the only one. What we have to do is avoid stopping all business and overacting to these. We have to take them seriously, but we have to continue with our business and continue with our biosecurity.”

Keenliside also updated producers on a positive test for swine delta corona virus (SDCV), which was confirmed in mid-October.

Delta corona virus is similar to PED in its transmission and effects on pigs.

Keenliside said trace-out from that test has involved 10 producers in Alberta, 12 in Saskatchewan and one in British Columbia. As of Oct. 31, all trace-outs were negative.

“Surveillance is an excellent early warning system and in this case it may have been just fantastic because we caught infection at a really early stage within the site and we were able to clean out and prevent our site from going positive.”

The positive SDCV test and the positive PED test were from two different facilities, but specific locations have not been revealed.

PED has infected 70 hog operations in Canada, all but eight in Ontario.

Dr. Egan Brockhoff, a swine veterinarian who has visited many infected sites in Canada, the United States and Asia, told producers that Ontario is successfully eradicating the virus from infected barns.

However, “we know the virus is being moved,” said Brockhoff, noting transport truck traffic and the two positive Alberta tests.

He said three vaccines now treat PED, but none will prevent it.

Dried porcine plasma feed additives where thought to be a possible vector when PED was first found in Canada in January. Though that may have been true, the World Organization for Animal Health has said such products are not a likely source of PED transmission if they are produced in accordance with stringent biosecurity.

WEED MANAGEMENT | BIODIRECT TECHNOLOGY

RNA technology may offer resistance help Weed resistance tool | Technique could spray weeds to make them susceptible again

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Monsanto is field testing what Robb Fraley, the company’s chief technology officer, considers one of the most exciting agricultural innovations he has seen.

BioDirect technology is a way to create biological pesticides by topically applying double-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) to organisms to control gene expression in plants or pathogens.

The double-stranded RNA attacks messenger RNA to prevent them from creating certain proteins.

Monsanto hopes to use the technology to make herbicide resistant weeds susceptible to herbicides again.

“BioDirect technology has the potential to be one of the most exciting advancements for agriculture that I’ve seen in my career,” Fraley said in a news release unveiling the new technology.

That was two years ago, when the product was in the discovery phase of development. Today, it is in the proof of concept phase.

The company is working on four BioDirect projects, and results look promising, said Jim Tobin, Monsanto’s vice-president of industry affairs.

“We’re testing material in the field,” he said in an interview at the 2014 Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit in New Orleans.

“We’re not close enough that I can

say we’d be selling it soon, but the tests look good.”

Hugh Beckie, Agriculture Canada’s weed resistance expert, said it would be a valuable new tool in the growing fight against weed resistance.

He estimates 38 million acres of farmland in Western Canada is infected by resistant weeds, costing farmers $1.1 to $1.5 billion per year in increased herbicide use and decreased yields.

Those costs are going to increase, partly because of a lack of new investment in herbicides. Monsanto’s BioDirect product could be the first new mode of action since the 1982 introduction of HPPD inhibitors. “(BioDirect) is very promising, but whether it’s a silver bullet, time will tell,” said Beckie.

He thinks there could be challenges bringing the technology to market because it is new territory for government regulators.

“It is nonetheless a glimmer of hope in terms of resistance management,” said Beckie.

Natural process Zoe McKiness, Monsanto’s director of strategy and operations for chemistry technology, said RNA interference is an elegant technology that results in a biological product rather than a synthetic chemical.

“Every time you eat an apple you’re eating RNA. Even when you drink water, there’s going to be RNA in

there from the bacteria that just happen to be in our drinking water,” she said.

“So you’re exposed to nucleic acid constantly, and there has never been a report of an adverse effect from that exposure.”

The gene alteration caused by the RNA is sequence specific, so there is no danger that the spray will affect non-target organisms such as honeybees or monarch butterflies.

The herbicide resistance project is focusing on glyphosate resistant Palmer amaranth and waterhemp, two weeds that have become a major headache for growers in the southern United States.

“They’re huge. You literally have to use a machete or something to get them out and they will take over your fields,” said McKiness.

In the case of Palmer amaranth, the resistance is due to the over-expression of the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3phosphate synthase (EPSPS) protein.

“Instead of having the typical couple of copies, the resistant Palmer has like a hundred copies,” she said.

The goal is for the RNA to knock out the right base pairs along a gene sequence to get the desired response, which is a vastly reduced expression of the EPSPS protein.

Some resistant weeds could be more difficult to work with, depending on the mechanism of resistance.

“Not all plants are readily susceptible to RNA being applied to them topically. Some plants it seems to

work on better than others,” said McKiness.

Other applications of the BioDirect technology include managing tospovirus in tomatoes and peppers, controlling the Colorado potato beetle and combatting the varroa mite and viruses in bee colonies.

McKiness expects it will take far less time to get a BioDirect product to market than the 10 years for a genetically modified crop.

For one thing, there will be less research and development time.

“The beauty of this approach is you can make a trigger and test it and understand immediately whether or not it’s going to work as opposed to having to wait, say, two to three years for a biotechnology type application,” she said.

McKiness also anticipates a shorter regulatory approval process. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a separate category for biological pesticides, which requires a less onerous data package than synthetic chemicals.

“It’s not an easier regulatory path, it’s just that you spend less time up front developing the data package,” said McKiness.

She has no idea when the first BioDirect products will reach growers because Monsanto has never commercialized a product like this.

“We’re really excited to take these to market. I think they’re going to add a lot of value to growers,” said McKiness.

Canada’s quality, consistency questioned High standards suffering | A foreign grain buyer lists problems with underweight shipments, uneven protein

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Recent shipments to a significant Asian buyer are damaging Canada’s reputation for quality and consistency in grain, says a senior company representative.

He urged the Canadian grain industry to take a hard look at what’s going wrong so Canada doesn’t lose premium overseas markets.

“We don’t know what’s going on in the system here that can create these kind of issues, but hopefully practice makes perfect,” said Derek Sliworsky of Singapore-based Prima Group.

Sliworsky, the former CWB representative in Japan, cited an array of

problems with Canadian wheat and durum that his company has noticed recently.

The most obvious were long delays and uncertainty with how long Canadian grain would take to arrive in 2013-14 because of the rail problems.

One of those delays with a container of specialized wheat prompted his company to switch to another supplier.

“We had to switch our complete grist and then, even though I’m Canadian and I like to buy more Canadian wheat, when I go back to our (production and marketing) guys and say, ‘can we switch back,’ they’ll say, ‘can you guarantee the

wheat will get here on time next time,’ ” said Sliworsky.

“It’s hard to put that guarantee to them. They changed the grist and now it’s going to take a pretty good reason to switch it back.”

Last year’s logistics problems are a well-told story, which many think was the result of unique temporary factors.

However, Sliworsky detailed a number of other quality and consistency problems Prima experienced: • Uneven protein levels in “high grade” Canadian wheat. Sliworsky said the Canadian Grain Commission told Prima it had stopped tightly controlling protein variances within large shipments and

instead looked only for a “composite” level. Sliworsky said the CGC should have better informed buyers about the change.

• Large amounts of unwanted peas in a container of high-quality wheat. The buyer found 850 kilograms of peas in a 25-tonne wheat shipment.

• A shipment of wheat was 375 tonnes short. The unloading company’s measures showed wide variability hold-to-hold from the ship. However, the CGC told the company the weights were correct.

“We’re just one buyer, so if it happens to us it probably happens to others,” said Sliworsky.

He encouraged the Canadian grain

industry to investigate why Canada’s usually high standards and consistency appear to have suffered recently. He also urged the Canadian industry to promote its wheat better, especially new varieties with high value uses.

“We have other sellers approaching us, particularly from Australia,” said Sliworsky.

“We’re seeing that from other places, but after deregulation happened we’re not really seeing that side from Canada.”

The monopoly-era CWB used to keep close contact with buyers and promote specialized products, but it does not have that role now that it is just a small grain company.

PEDRO DEJNEKA AGRESOURCE BRAZIL

Europe, Australia and Ukraine all expect smaller canola crops. | FILE PHOTO EU PRODUCTION OUTLOOK | RAPESEED

Dip in EU oilseed output could spur Canada’s exports Ukraine’s rapeseed crop also down | Australia could fill the gap, leaving Canada to take over Chinese markets

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The International Grains Council is forecasting declining winter rapeseed production in the European Union and Ukraine.

It could mean Europe will have to import more Australian canola next year, which would allow Canada to export more to China.

The council estimates EU plantings will fall by four percent to 16 million acres, the lowest level since 2012-13.

“Farmers were discouraged from sowing due to low prices and reduced profitability, while new EU farm subsidy rules have rendered other crops relatively more attractive,” said the council in its October summary.

Yields are expected to be down because of dry seeding conditions in major production regions.

An EU ban on neonicotinoid pesticides is also expected to diminish yields because of high levels of insect damage in Germany and the United Kingdom, two of the EU’s top rapeseed producing countries.

“Next year’s EU crop is likely to be significantly smaller,” said the council.

The EU is the world’s biggest producer of rapeseed-canola and the second largest exporter of the crop behind Canada.

Ukraine is also a major exporter. Its winter crop typically accounts for 95 percent of the country’s total rapeseed production.

The council is forecasting 2.12 million acres will be planted in Ukraine, down nine percent from last year’s plantings and 25 percent below the previous five-year average.

“This is a continuation of the steady downward trend of recent seasons and reflects a gradual switch to spring-sown crops, which are less prone to damage from adverse weather,” said the council.

Yields are expected to be down as well because of reduced application of inputs caused by poor credit availability associated with the ongoing conflict with Russia.

“Output is seen falling markedly year-on-year,” said the council.

That’s all good news for Canadian canola growers, said Chuck Penner, an analyst with LeftField Commodity Research.

He said most of Ukraine’s rapeseed

is grown in the west, far away from the political turmoil in the east, but he agreed that yields will be down because of a lack of inputs.

Penner said Stratégie Grains is also forecasting a small contraction in EU rapeseed acreage.

He said the best guess at this stage is for normal yields, which would be down from terrific yields in 2014-15.

“That will be positive. That would mean that Europe would probably start to buy more again from Australia, so then Australia stops exporting so much to China and then it helps our business,” said Penner.

Australia is expected to harvest a smaller canola crop. The Australian Oilseeds Federation estimates 3.65 million tonnes of production, down from 3.9 million tonnes in 2013-14.

There has been poor winter rainfall in the core growing regions of southern New South Wales, central Victoria, the Wimmera districts and South Australia.

The IGC said plantings in Belarus are estimated at 988,000 acres, unchanged from last year.

Russia’s rapeseed crop is largely planted in spring.

Don’t believe the hype about Brazil being dry as soybeans are seeded, AgResource Brazil analyst Pedi Dejneka said.

“Planting is going just fine in Brazil,” he said.

Dryness today has little effect on how crops turn out, Dejneka said.

It’s not critically dry, and although the dryness is pushing back seeding it is unlikely to affect yields.

Good weather could help Brazil produce 96.2 million tonnes of soybeans when they are harvested early in 2015. Poor weather could bring 88.9 million tonnes.

Extremely good weather could bring more than 100 million tonnes, and very bad weather less than 86 million.

BILL TIERNEY AGRESOURCE U.S.

The recent incredible rally in soybean meal futures makes Analyst Bill Tierney of AgResource bearish about that commodity.

When he wrote his presentation for Cereals North America he was bearish soybean meal.

In the six days from the time of writing to when he delivered the speech, soy meal soared.

So from those levels there is even more downside price risk.

“The statement today would be, ‘much, much more downside.’ ” That means soybeans have a bad

outlook, too.

Tierney said canola should be better off because it is oil-based in pricing, and world vegetable oil prices appear stable for the winter.

“I don’t see a lot of downside potential in veg oil prices,” he said, noting how hard they had been already “pounded down.”

“I don’t see anything in the cards right now to support a substantial rally in veg oil prices.”

SCOTT YUKNIS CLIMATE IMPACT

It should be warm across Canada this winter, warm in the United St at e s a n d w a r m a n d w e t i n Europe.

Scott Yuknis of Climate Impact Co., predicts warm northern Pacific and warm Atlantic water holding back the kind of brutally cold temperatures from the north that hit much of North America last winter.

“The theme here is warming,”

PRAIRIE FORECAST • Winter: Temperature average near to slightly above normal and precipitation is near normal • Spring (March-May) 2015: Wet across the southern Prairies • Planting season (April –June): Warm • Summer: Unusually cool across Saskatchewan, Manitoba Ontario

said Yuknis. “It’s almost the opposite of what happened last year.”

DAN BASSE AGRESOURCE

AgResource president Dan Basse predicts a slump in farmland values but not a repeat of the financial crisis that beset farmers in the 1980s.

Then, farmers had high debt levels and high interest rates. This time, farm debt is manageable and interest rates are low.

Basse expects a farmland price decline to take three to five years, with evaporation of profitability prompting lenders to hold back farmers from bidding on more land.

MARK HEMMES QUORUM CORP.

Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., said cold weather will bog down the western Canadian rail system every winter until new technology replaces air brakes. It currently takes hours to get enough pressure into air brake systems of long trains in frigid conditions.

New technology is not expected soon, but many improvements are happening within the Canadian rail system, he said.

One railway is getting ready to start running 112 car shuttle trains, like those that run from the U.S. Great Plains to port.

DEMURRAGE | MARKETERS LEARN LESSON

Rail problems make grain exporters cautious Grain handling concerns | Crops compete with oil sector for rail cars

GRAIN VOLUME STILL A CHALLENGE

BY ED WHITE

Western Canadian grain supply (million tonnes)

Canada’s grain crop this year is smaller than last year’s record but when the carryin from 2013-14 is included the total volume of grain on hand is the second largest ever, keeping pressure on the handling and transportation system to operate at peak efficiency.

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Unreliable rail service is undermining North America’s just-in-time grain handling system, analysts said last week at Cereals North America.

It’s already hurting farmers because grain marketers are not aggressively selling prairie crops.

“They are starting to pare back,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., the federally appointed grain logistics monitor.

“That’s not good for us in the long term.”

Hemmes said large demurrage charges in 2013-14 stung grain companies and other marketers, with dozens of ships waiting weeks to load crops off the West Coast.

Western Canada produced a smaller crop this year, but the rail system needs to move almost as much grain because of the big carryover, which creates the potential for more late loading and port congestion, he said.

As a result, grain exporters and marketers are cautious about making forward commitments that could lead to future demurrage charges.

and colliding with oil shipments from North Dakota’s Bakken field.

“We’ve got record large crops we need to move competing with fracking oil, and that has not been fun for

the U.S. farmer,” said Dan Basse, president of the U.S. analytical firm AgResource.

“We thought our logistical system was best in the world. Not so.”

Hemmes said he has heard concerns from grain companies that railways intend to base their locomotive and other capacity decisions on historical averages, but that leaves the system vulnerable to another failure if there is another record crop.

Manitoba agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn touched on the same theme at the beginning of the conference.

“In the long run, we’re expecting larger crops as public and private sectors continue to invest in crop research, and we need to see parallel investments in rail capacities,” said Kostyshyn. “We need to use the amount we harvested in (2013) as a template of the reality of grain movement in the next number of years.”

Better infrastructure spurs acreage expansion in Brazil Port and transportation upgrades | Farmers anticipate increasing market opportunities in Asia

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Low prices won’t stop Brazilian farmers from expanding cropland by tens of millions of acres in coming years, says one of that nation’s analysts.

Not only are farmers in the interior state of Mato Grosso highly efficient operators committed to the long term, but massive infrastructure improvements will make them much more profitable in the future.

“A lot of pastureland is now being flipped to grain,” Pedro Dejneka told the Cereals North America conference Oct. 30.

“Even though they have lower prices right now, ‘I want to keep expanding my land’ (is their thinking). They know prices don’t stay low forever.”

Brazil is stuck in stagflation, with poor government investing decisions of recent years stalling the economy. However, the long-term construction of port and transportation systems in the country’s north and east will radically boost the profit prospects of most farmers.

“The new way out,” is how Dejneka described the ports, roads and rails planned from Santarem on the Amazon River to a string of ports on the northeast coast.

The new ports will alleviate prob-

lems associated with the congested southern ports that now move more than two-thirds of Brazilian soybean exports. They will also improve the economics of shipping to Asia.

“A new way to China” is how Dejneka described the way Brazilian agriculture interests see the northern and eastern ports, with two to three days cut off the transport time from Mato Grosso to port and the same cut off the trip from port to China via the Panama Canal.

The savings for inland farmers should be huge.

Farmers in southern Brazil near existing ports can get their soybeans to China for less cost than farmers in Iowa, but Mato Grosso farmers pay far more than either, at about $160 per tonne versus less than $90.

Dejneka said the Mato Grosso price to China could be cheaper than either if northern ports become available.

Don’t expect these major developments soon. Dejneka said Brazilians are notorious for being late with grand plans, so the 2023 target for these improvements isn’t guaranteed.

However, he thinks the smart money is already investing as if the developments are certain.

“A lot of the major players … are already investing up there,” said Dejneka.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE STILL HIGH Cash trade in the United States developed late last week at US$168 per hundredweight, down $2 from the previous week’s record high.

A handful of U.S. dressed sales were reported at $265, steady with the previous week.

Contracting opportunities and formula pricing are discouraging North American cash trade.

Alberta direct cattle sales were too light to establish a reliable price trend. Cattle quality and show list volumes were inconsistent, and reported prices varied widely.

A seasonally weak fed basis encouraged U.S. buyer interest, but bids were not competitive.

Weekly western Canadian slaughter Oct. 25 plunged 14 percent to 30,833 head because of one Alberta plant being down for a day.

Weekly exports to Oct. 18 were up 63 percent to 9,677 head.

Hedging and contracting opportunities will continue to limit cash trade.

However, formula pricing and contract bids will support the cash market, which usually strengthens into the fourth quarter.

Prices should be well supported if American packers provide better competition.

Packers have the leverage needed to push cut-out prices higher, but retailers are resisting the move and consumers are noting cheaper competing meats.

COW PRICES UP D1, D2 cows ranged C$119-$132 to average $126.38 per cwt., up 88 cents.

D3 cows were $100-$120 to average $110.67.

Rail grade cows ranged $245-$250.

Bulls were $138.50, up 38 cents.

Western Canadian cow slaughter has ranged from 5,800- 6,200 head in recent weeks, down from the same period last year when volumes were 6,500-9,200 head.

Canadian non-fed exports to Oct. 18 totalled 6,720 head.

Cow slaughter volumes have increased from October to November in recent years.

Non-fed volumes are anticipated to pick up heading into November.

The weaker Canadian dollar supports feeder prices, but prices are anticipated to be steady to weaker this week.

Bred cows ranged $1,700-$2,700.

BEEF RISES U.S. Choice cutouts traded $3.92

per cwt. higher at $253.35, and Select rose $5.87 to $239.41.

Packers increased asking prices after paying more for cattle, but buyers remain cautious on procurement.

Canadian cut-out values for the week ending Oct. 10 saw record prices with AAA at $272.93 per cwt. and AA at $262.33.

Prices were up $8-$11 from the previous week, the largest weekly increase since January.

Chucks and rounds moved sharply higher with the support of strong trim prices.

The AAA-Choice spread narrowed to -$1.10 per cwt., while AA traded at a $1.88 per cwt. premium over Select.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported 2,285 sheep and lambs and 78 goats traded Oct. 27. All lambs sold barely steady to slightly lower. Sheep traded at prices $3-$5 cwt. lower. Goats sold about steady.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS FALL AGAIN An ample supply of market ready hogs and lower pork prices pushed hogs prices lower.

The average live slaughter weight of barrows and gilts in Iowa-Minnesota was 284.8 pounds two weeks ago, down .1 pound from the previous week but still seven lb. heavier than the same week last year.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$65-$65.50 per hundredweight Oct. 31, down from $69 Oct. 24.

On a carcass basis, U.S. hogs averaged $84.52 Oct. 31, down from

$89.45 Oct. 24. The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $97.51 per cwt. Oct. 31, down from $98.25 Oct. 24.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Nov. 1 was 2.193 million, up from 2.141 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.27 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.

LAMBS STEADY TO LOWER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,212 sheep and 103 goats sold Oct. 27.

JUMP IN BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE

FEEDER PRICE DOWN The fall calf run is in full swing, and the volume is pressuring feeder and calf markets.

The feeder steer average was down $1.13, and heifers fell $1.05.

It was the first time since November 2012 that the Alberta weekly auction exceeded 100,000 head.

Logistics continue to be an issue.

Buyers are pricing in the additional risk to the market if trucks cannot be sourced for immediate pickup.

Steer marketings are outpacing heifer marketings.

Many commercial auctions in Alberta and Saskatchewan reported that 60-70 percent of their total offerings were steers.

The wide steer-heifer price spread, particularly on calves, helps explain the small heifer offering.

Stronger corn prices are lifting barley values.

Wheat will start entering feedlot rations if barley continues to rise.

CRAIG’S VIEW

LABOUR | REGULATIONS

Temporary foreign workers needed to support agriculture

W

ould-be employers flocked to an agricultural labour summit in Red Deer last week seeking solutions for worker shortages that threaten to limit production and potential in Western Canada.

They found precious few of those solutions.

Labour shortages at farms, feedlots, packing plants and other agricultural businesses have been a problem for years, but they were exacerbated by recent, knee-jerk changes to the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

The June changes made application more onerous and expensive and limited temporary foreign workers to one year in Canada before mandatory return to their home country.

Recruitment and retention, the key components of any employment program, became much more difficult.

Now packing plants say they are unable to find enough workers to run at capacity. Feedlots are in the same predicament. Beekeepers and other businesses with shorter seasons find current TFWP rules unworkable.

Expansion for any of them is out of the question. Instead, they are looking at the real possibility of lower production amid troubling questions about the future.

Will they have to downsize? Reduce their reach? Sacrifice quality?

And in the case of larger businesses, what good are new international trade agreements, with their options for greater exports, if labour shortages limit Canada’s ability to fulfill that potential? The TFWP, in its former incarnation, was not the answer to labour shortages. It wasn’t meant to be.

However, it was a useful stopgap while the federal government was presumably devising more permanent solutions. And it did give temporary foreign workers time to apply for permanent residency and citizenship, thereby slowly increasing the labour pool.

Program changes now force temporary foreign workers to leave Canada before they can

complete the required waiting period for the permanent resident nominee program.

Some say the solution is to offer higher wages, but that facile suggestion ignores the challenge of matching the wages offered by the oil and gas industry. It also fails to account for the naked truth that many people in westernized countries won’t do some of the jobs required, regardless of wage.

As a result, a one-size-fits-all program will not fix the problem, and it appears the federal government is aware of that.

A newly developed express entry program could improve labour availability in some sectors. A plan announced Oct. 31 to admit 260,000 to 285,000 immigrants this year, 65 percent of them to meet labour and skills shortages, is another positive development.

Even so, they won’t address labour shortages as expeditiously as would improvements to the TFWP. Many workers who were part of the program in the past have achieved residency and/ or citizenship and have enriched the country and labour pool as a result. That could continue to occur if the TFWP was adjusted.

Other labour intensive industries in Canada and the United States have been known to export jobs by opening factories and manufacturing plants in other countries.

Agriculture doesn’t have that option. Jobs that entail on-farm activity or the primary processing of agricultural goods cannot be outsourced, transferred, externalized or otherwise moved, regardless of chosen euphemism.

The jobs are on the farm, in the feedlot, at the packing plant and among the foods and ingredients that Canada produces and exports.

It means workable programs and policies must be devised here at home, both temporary and permanent. Future expansion and productivity in the sector depend upon it.

G

overnment promises to stand firm against the country’s two largest railways are being scrutinized, again, after recent revelations that Canadian National Railway still hasn’t been fined for its alleged failure to meet federal grain targets.

In September, transport minister Lisa Raitt announced that fines were pending against CN rail after the company failed to meet three weeks worth of grain targets. The rail company, she repeatedly said, was in “violation” and would be fined.

More than a month later, however, the minister’s office says Transport Canada’s investigation into CN’s fail-

ure to meet federal orders is ongoing.

“The information is being assessed and following the assessment by the enforcement officer, a decision will be made on whether a notice of violation is to be issued and the amount of an administrative monetary penalty,” the minister’s press secretary, Jana Régimbal, said in an Oct. 29 email.

It’s worth noting Régimbal’s email opens the door to the possibility CN might not be fined at all, despite the fact CN has never denied the accusations it missed meeting federal grain movement targets.

Instead, the company has routinely insisted there simply wasn’t enough grain in the commercial system for them to move.

Those allegations have since been denied by agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, who told reporters during a teleconference from India Sept. 23 there was still lots of grain left to be moved.

“I’m not sure where CN is getting the idea there isn’t grain to handle,” Ritz said.

“The fines will be assessed, they will

be levied and we expect CN to actually pick up their game,” he said.

The ongoing railway fine saga comes as both national railways remain under federal orders to move a minimum 536,250 tonnes of grain each per week.

Failure to do so risks fines of up to $100,000 per violation, which the government is now interpreting as per week, rather than the initial $100,000 per day fines it promised under the initial March 7 order in council. The fines are payable to the receiver general.

No fine amount has been set, but the general assumption in Ottawa is that should CN actually be fined, it would face the maximum penalty, or $300,000.

CN is expected to challenge any fine in court.

However, news of the missing CN fines also comes as the federal government muses about whether it should lift the mandatory grain volumes.

In a recent interview with Reuters, Ritz said it is unlikely the targets,

which expire Nov. 29, will be renewed.

The minister’s office continues to insist no decision on the future of the targets has been made yet, but Ritz told Reuters there would have to be “a complete failure by the railways to move grain” to justify extending the minimums.

Removal of the targets would, predictably, be welcomed by the railways, which have accused the federal government of meddling in private business affairs.

Ending the targets would also likely be somewhat well received by mills in Eastern Canada and the United States, many of which still haven’t managed to replenish their stocks after last winter as the railways focus on high throughput export channels.

It’s not surprising Ottawa is contemplating ending the temporary targets, given initial estimates that peg this year’s crop as slightly above average: around 60 million tonnes compared to last year’s record 76 million tonnes.

Battle between Ottawa and the railways are not new territory. Tensions

between the two groups have been mounting for years.

The railway lobby is a powerful group in this town, a point raised recently by NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen. The ongoing shifts in Ottawa’s stance against the railways, combined with recent back pedalling, could weaken the federal government’s ability to negotiate permanent solutions via the ongoing rail review, Allen warned.

“The railways are probably saying, ‘life is somewhat like normal. We’ll call the shots and they’ll dance to the tune that we play,’ ” he said. “That’s going to hurt farmers in the long run.”

The Conservatives have promised shippers that long-term solutions to transportation woes will come from the fast-tracked rail service review, set to be wrapped up this year.

The government’s credibility hinges on the results of that review. It promised to stand up against the railways.

Now it’s time it actually did just that.

& OPEN FORUM GENETIC MODIFICATION | ARCTIC APPLE

INFORMATION | SOURCES

Further GM apple review not necessary

Producer still popular in black and white

BY ROBERT SAIK

T

his is a response to the Op-Ed published (in The Western Producer) Sept. 4 entitled, “Public review urged for GM apple,” by British Columbia New Democrat agriculture critic and MLA Nicholas Simons.

As I read this article, I got the feeling that Mr. Simons was either unaware of many of the facts regarding the due diligence that is done with respect to GMO crops, or was fear-mongering, or was playing politics, or all of the above.

This July I spent time in Summerland, B.C., with the Okanagan Specialty Fruits team, including founder Neal Carter.

I was impressed by the volume of work and the immense cost involved in bringing a genetically modified crop such as Arctic apples to market.

So when I read the Op-Ed where Simon says, “Public review urged for GM apple,” and that he is “concerned about the prospect of a company in B.C. introducing a genetically modified apple into the marketplace without any prior health, environmental or economic impact assessment,” I thought that he simply did not have all the facts ….

These apples, called Arctic apples, are subject to an incredibly rigorous federal review process that has already been underway for nearly three years and examines a wide variety of risk factors.

These apples have been grown in field trials for more than a decade, and are likely the most tested apple on the planet. There are literally hundreds of pages of publicly available documents detailing the testing

that’s been performed, most of which has been carried out by independent horticultural specialists.

There are even official government assessments published last November from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, another federal agency reviewing these apples, which discuss at great length how and why Arctic apples will not present any environmental risks.

Among these reasons is the fact that these apples grow, flower and respond to pests the same as their conventional counterparts.

Testing has also proven that they have the same nutrition as their conventional counterparts and contain no novel proteins.

The only difference is that Arctic apples produce less of a single enzyme, polyphenol oxidase, which causes apples to brown when bitten,

sliced or bruised.

This small change can result in a wide range of benefits including reducing food waste, boosting apple consumption due to increased convenience and reducing the need for anti-browning treatments in dried and fresh cut apple products.

Nicholas Simons has allied himself with a group called GE Free B.C., who, per their own mission statement, envision a “Canada where no genetically engineered life forms are created, patented, approved, bought, sold or traded.”

To me, missions such as this simply choose to ignore the vast benefits to farmers, the environment and consumers provided by GM technology.

This is not exactly the most evenkeeled reaction to the fastest adopted crop technology in history, especially one that has an impeccable safety

record, with no documented negative health effects since its introduction.

He calls on B.C. minister of agriculture Norm Letnick to carry out a review of Arctic apples and criticizes him for his plans to “rely entirely on the federal government to develop a position on genetically modified apples” when in fact, the regulation of GM crops is completely under federal jurisdiction.

Letters such as this spread inaccuracies about a science that has been in use for almost three decades, has allowed farmers to adopt more sustainable cropping systems and is one of the safest food technologies ever to be served to consumers.

Farm practices geared to drought get rethink HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

oo much water has become the biggest cause of crop loss on the Prairies. It’s changing how we farm.

Many of the lessons of the past no longer seem to apply.

There is still a lingering worry in the driest regions about the return of drought, but even in the Palliser triangle farming practices are evolving or regressing, depending on how you look at it.

In the 1980s, field shelter belts were going to be the answer to drifting topsoil. Today, many poorly placed shelter belts are a nuisance because of ever larger equipment.

Besides, continuous cropping and

direct seeding have almost made wind erosion a non-issue.

These days, more shelter belts are being ripped out than planted.

Meanwhile, tillage is making a major comeback. Sometimes it is to get rid of ruts caused by spraying and/or combining when the ground is wet. Other times, tillage is needed to cut through heavy crop residue or reclaim field areas that could not be seeded.

Tillage used to be a dirty word, avoided at all costs to build organic matter and sequester carbon.

However, successive wet years have changed attitudes.

Soil that has been tilled with the residue chopped and buried warms up more quickly in spring. As well, drying out the soil is now often the aim. Water has become the enemy.

Long-standing stubble is great for trapping snow, but in recent years that has been bad news for many producers. More moisture can mean delayed seeding and unseeded land.

Just a few years ago, stripper headers on combines had much greater

appeal. They provide the ultimate in long-standing stubble. Now, many producers are hesitant to use them.

The old practice of stubble burning is making a comeback.

Wet conditions have caused a great deal of fusarium head blight in cereal crops. Producers in areas with the worst infestations are trying to limit field carryover by torching the crop residue.

Besides, black ground will warm up and dry out faster in spring.

Groups pushing for more irrigation development have had trouble maintaining their momentum. It’s difficult to convince governments to invest in irrigation infrastructure while crop insurance programs pay farmers for land that’s too wet to seed and yields drop because of flooding.

Water drainage is a huge issue that governments don’t know how to address, and it runs contrary to the concept of expanded irrigation.

The 1930s were dry while the 1950s and 1970s were often wet. The 1980s were dry with a huge drought in 1988.

There was another big drought in

2002 for many regions. However, in the past decade too much water has been far more problematic and widespread than the shortages.

Is this the new norm or just another cycle? Alas, no one knows for sure.

Many experts claim to be certain about man-made climate change, but nobody seems able to accurately predict the weather more than a few days into the future.

Producers are left to assume that too much water will be an on-going problem. They’re investing in grain carts because fields are too soft to support trucks. Tracks are replacing rubber on everything from tractors and combines to seeding equipment.

Crop choice is also affected. Lentils and peas have seen their acreages decline in many regions as producers switch to more water-tolerant crops, including soybeans.

The drought-prone Prairies have become flood-prone.

he Western Producer is at its slowest when farmers are busy seeding, spraying, haying and harvesting.

Heck, 15 years ago we had papers that were 64 pages in July. The growing season was a good time to be away from the office because things were quiet, with the exception of field days. Even politicians kept their heads down in summer.

Advertisers figured farmers didn’t have time to read their Producers in July.

Times have changed. Farmers likely did read it in July, as good information is necessary in all months of the year.

I have trouble remembering the last time we got below 88 pages, except for our special editions at Christmas.

Don’t miss this year’s, by the way. It’s all about manure.

We, like you, have been busier these past 10 years. Producer.com needs to be fed a daily ration of news and markets and, overall, the paper is bigger and better than ever.

Summer is still slower than winter, but winter has become busier, with papers hitting 120 pages or more during producers’ decision-making season: January to April.

That is the part of the year when you spend the most time with your Western Producer. We writers and editors know it and the advertisers know it. They buy ads, lots of ads, and you place more classified ads at that time of year.

The Producer pledges to keep a balance, rather than have advertising cover every page of the paper, squeezing out the information content you need to successfully run your farms.

We are audited by a third party that ensures we keep a 40-60 balance of editorial content and paid advertising.

Some readers suggest there is too much material in a single issue of the WP. And there probably would be if every farmer read every story and looked at every classified ad. However, most browse the paper and read about the parts of agriculture where they do the majority of their business. Every farm is different.

Browsing online publications, even ours, for relevant material is a challenge. Print, like online, has its place.

For now, I think ours, for the most part, is still being held between two hands.

WHAT IS LEFT? To the Editor: The Conservative government under Stephen Harper has eroded the agriculture sector of the prairie economy and continues to do so.

The latest promise by his agriculture minister, Gerry Ritz, that under the proposed Bill C-18 and UPOV 91 (plant breeders’ rights regulations) farmers would still be able to use farm-saved seed instead of having to buy new seed every year and pay a royalty. He failed to admit that saving seed doesn’t protect the farmer from paying royalties; these could be collected on the sale of the crop from these seeds.

On Aug. 1, 2013, the new law, “Freedom to Market Grain, came into

effect. This, in effect, gave the grain merchants the opportunity to make bigger profits by widening the basis and taking more money out of the prairie economy.

The government seized the assets of the old CWB and now wants to sell them. Sales are nearly always made to the highest bidder and there is a suggestion that the government wouldn’t take any money for the sale, but the money would go into the new entity. Ha, ha, that would not be a sale but a gift of all farmers’ assets in the former CWB to a private entity.

The federal government in the last two years divested itself of the community pastures, which increased the cost to livestock producers.

The tree farm at Indian Head that has been a boon to saving prairie soil

and beautifying farmsteads is another entity the Conservative government has divested itself of.

Since the Conservative government came to power, it has diluted the farm support programs to the point that margins are non-existent before a payment is triggered and then to wait for a payment is so long that often the operation has had to be dissolved. The government has reduced the amount of resources spent on research, instead turning it over to the private sector, which develops for its shareholders instead of for the public good.

The government has changed the time that a farmer has to file a lien with the Canadian Grain Commission for non-payment of grain delivered. It used to be a no time limit but

they have now changed it so a lien has to be filed within 30 days, and yet a lot of business is done on a 30-day basis, so by the time the farmer finds he isn’t getting paid the deadline is past.

Where is the justice of that? Is that meant to help the farmers?

The Conservative government has not shown support for the prairie agriculture sector, which Gerry Ritz claimed gave it a mandate to terminate the old CWB without a producer vote and supposedly is the stronghold of the Conservative vote.

I will be voting ABC (anything but Conservative) next time.

Bernie von Tettenborn, Round Hill, Alta.

POLITICS OF FEAR To the Editor: The two military deaths (recently) demonstrate how vulnerable all of us are. Canadians support all of our men and women in uniform, both to protect as well as to keep the peace. Politics of fear in our past history has created some very unjust events. Politics of fear in 1914-1920 interned over 6,000 Ukrainians and forced over 85,000 to register like common criminals. Politics of fear in 1923 gave Canada the Chinese Exclusion Act, that all Asians were kept out of Canada for the next 24 years. Politics of fear interned the Japanese Canadians during the Second World War. In our short history, we’ve made some big mistakes because of politics of fear.

Harper’s decision to get involved in the Middle East may put this country at further risk. The commissioner of the RCMP says that the Ottawa shooter had no linkage to ISIS….

The (Stephen) Harper government continues to call this a terrorist act.

Does that mean from here on in, every criminal act will be deemed a terrorist act?

Harper is using this to further erode our liberty with new legislation. Canadians do not agree that CSIS and RCMP need more power. We have the Security Act already in place to lock up terrorists and throw away the key.

Canadians all support our military and remember the fallen, lives sacrificed for our freedom. With Nov. 11 just around the corner, let us not forget the bloodshed to keep us free. Do not succumb to the politics of fear.

Let us learn from our history.

Inky Mark, Dauphin, Man.

PRIVATE COSTS To the Editor: Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall is once again contemplating rewarding his friends by privatizing Saskatchewan’s health care and allowing private companies to charge people directly for diagnostic medical scans (MRIs). Since Alberta’s private MRIs range from $895 (single unit scan) to $2,450 (full-bodied scan), those with the bucks will be able to jump to the head of the treatment line. Private clinics will simply drain trained staff from the public clinics thus lengthening wait times there.

If Wall were sincere in reducing the MRI wait line, he would simply allocate more funds to hire and train more staff for our public operated MRIs, allowing them to operate extended hours. I assume they presCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE »

OPINION CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

ently operate only eight hours a day.

If one can afford to pay for private MRIs they can well afford a higher tax rate for health. Of course that wouldn’t line the pockets of Wall’s corporate buddies — would it?

PROMISE A LIE To the Editor: For quite a number of years certain farm groups pushed our federal government for the eradication of the CWB single desk system. Our federal agriculture minister listened to these groups and acted unilaterally.

When the certain groups were pushing, they were stating we, the farmers, would be able to obtain

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

“world prices” easier.

Your story headlined, “Price disparity sparks anger” (WP Oct. 2), does not state that fact strongly enough.

Quite frankly, I have to wonder why a certain farm group has not been very vocal on the fact that today, without the single desk CWB, we, the farmers, are not getting world prices. These farm groups seem to have gotten a mere five percent of what they wanted and the other 95 percent, which represents farmers income, forever and a day hence is totally ignored.

Just maybe these farm groups and their federal agriculture minister should step front and centre with the difference between current Canadian durum price and the world price.

Some farmers took that message as a promise and now reality shows a lie.

erogatory comments slung at me by strangers were hurtful when I lived overseas, but it was like a soothing balm when other locals helped me find my way into their culture,.

Today I remember my own pain when I hear harsh comments about “those people who aren’t like us.”

Surely we can do better.

As more newcomers become part of the local community, opportunity abounds to welcome them, get to know them and help them get to know us.

If they come from a different culture or if they speak a different language, think of what it means when locals talk with them and invite them to join in a few community activities.

Our church leaders and school teachers can show the way by creating opportunities to meet with these new neighbours.

They have taken the risk of leaving homeland and family and are keen to find ways to contribute in their new home. They are working to become Canadian citizens.

They have the same concerns we do to get their business established and their kids educated and be recognized for what they have to offer.

U.S. president Barack Obama was speaking directly to our prejudice when he reminded us that ISIS is not a faith-based organization but is a radical, extremist entity. They attack and kill many more Muslims than Christians.

As well, local Islamic leaders are anxious to identify individuals and groups who exploit mosques for violent purposes.

Between Nov. 11 and Christmas we sing, “Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.” Can we find ways to mean what we say? Can we sing from the heart?

SCOULAR CO. EXPANSION | CANADIAN OPPORTUNITIES

New kid on the block plans different grain handling approach

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Scoular Co. is expanding its presence in Canada and bringing a new business model to the grain handling industry.

“We see things differently,” said Bart Brummer, vice-president in charge of Canadian operations.

“We do have a different vision. We do have a different culture. I think that’s the uniqueness that we really are going to bring to the Canadian landscape.”

The company wants to distance itself from the existing model of loading another boat in Vancouver or Thunder Bay or processing

another bushel of canola at a local crush facility.

“The focus in Canada, it seems, always has been asset driven.”

Brummer said 92 percent of grain handling capacity in Canada is owned by a small collection of players.

“The view that we bring is that we don’t see ourselves doing more of the same,” he said.

Scoular intends to handle grain that doesn’t go through a Scoular owned facility. It will use its fleet of Class 1 trucks and the rail system to move Canadian grain into its substantial U.S. network.

“We call that cross-country trade.

We call that arbitrage,” said Brummer. “We’re pushing for expansion in

the truck corridors to take some relief off the rail system.”

It doesn’t mean the company won’t have physical assets in Canada. It intends to acquire grain handling assets, form partnerships and enter into marketing agreements that support the north-south flow of grain.

Brummer said growers can expect announcements along those lines “in the coming months.”

He declined to comment on whether the company has put in a bid for CWB’s assets, but acknowledged the two have been in discussions and that there is a confidentiality agreement between the parties.

The company will handle a few select commodities, with a particular

focus on wheat.

“We’re good wheat traders. We understand the wheat markets.”

Scoular also has interest in the burgeoning Canadian soybean industry in Manitoba and Eastern Canada.

It recently announced a partnership with Legumex Walker’s Pacific Coast Canola plant and a $16.5 million investment in the special crops side of Legumex Walker’s business.

Todd McQueen, senior vice-president of Scoular, said Canada is an i nt r i g u i n g new ma rket f o r th e 122-year-old grain company, which had $6.2 billion in sales in fiscal 2014.

there are opportunities for investing in assets,” he said.

Scoular keeps an internal database of new business development projects it is exploring in various regions.

“We’ve got numerous projects in that database that are in the confidentiality stage in Canada,” said McQueen.

“Some of them are small and some of them kind of medium-sized. I wouldn’t describe anything as huge.”

The company is searching for other projects to add to the database.

“It’s just a lot of activity going on up there, and we’re actively looking for businesses that we can work together (to) serve customers and grow our business in Canada.”

One opportunity it won’t be pursuing is a project to build a large grain collection facility near Northgate, Sask., minutes north of the CanadaU.S. border.

Earlier this year, Ceres Global Ag Corp., Scoular’s former partner in that project, announced it had terminated its agreement with Scoular.

Scoular is suing Ceres for damages surrounding the project.

Scoular feels it can apply its vast grain handling and transportation experience to the Canadian marketplace.

“We just think going forward there will be lots of opportunities for new freight lanes and ways that we can better serve the marketplace and customers, and a number of those will require investments,” said McQueen.

The company is looking for unique business opportunities, such as its investment in an elevator in Netley, Man. It put money into the small facility so it could acquire and process rye for some of its distillery customers in the United States.

“We made an investment in some cleaning equipment and some space and kind of helped reinvent that business,” said McQueen.

The company is also considering building new facilities in Canada.

“We have a couple of spots where we’re considering it, but there’s nothing that’s really hot where we’re in the middle of working on a green field site,” he said.

Scoular’s interest in Canada isn’t limited to physical assets.

“We’re also investing in people.

We’d love to add new qualified people to our group,” said McQueen.

“That’s one of our limiters today.”

The company is looking for merchandisers and traders who have connections to customers and existing businesses.

“We’ve got ideas and we’ve got the capital. We just need quality people to help run those businesses,” said McQueen.

The company employs eight people in its Calgary office and has three Canadians cross-training in the U.S. It also operates an office in Montreal.

It has no other physical assets in Canada.

However, that hasn’t prevented it from being active north of the border.

The first boatload out of the Port of Churchill this year was filled with Scoular grain.

It has also exported wheat out of the St. Lawrence and Thunder Bay, all of which flies in the face of the company’s new vision for grain handling in Canada.

“You do have to compete a little bit with the me-tooers,” said Brummer.

LIVESTOCK | PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

New initiative will combat PED spread by trucks Interprovincial program | Three main prairie hog groups are developing truck wash guidelines that companies can follow

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Deadly porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in pigs can literally be delivered right to hog producers’ doorsteps by transport trucks.

Travelling as it does in manure and on other surfaces, the highly infectious PED can easily hitch a ride between infected and non-infected premises.

An interprovincial program between the three main hog groups on the Prairies is being developed to minimize the risk of viral spread via truck and trucker.

It aims to establish specific truck wash protocols that transport companies can voluntarily follow and that producers can use for biosecurity assurance.

“What we are planning to do is to unify protocols that everybody will follow within the program,” said Alberta Pork quality assurance coordinator Javier Bahamon.

“This is going to be a voluntary program. It’s not going to be enforced

by anybody … but producers will have the confidence when they are checking on any of those protocols, that we are … minimizing the risk. We know that we cannot eliminate the risk of any of these diseases to happen but we can work on minimizing.”

PED thrives in cool, moist conditions, survives freezing and is expected to be more of a threat in winter, when truck washing is more challenging.

Trucks and trailers have to be thoroughly washed, disinfected and dried to comply with the collective wisdom on limiting spread.

Bahamon said he is working with Sask. Pork and Manitoba Pork officials to establish the truck wash guidelines and it may be ready by December.

Then it will require audits of truck washes to ensure they are capable of providing the water, equipment, disinfectant and drying time to meet the protocol.

Once in place, pork producers will be able to request paperwork from truckers that proves the truck and trailer have been properly cleaned. If they aren’t satisfied with cleanliness, they should refuse the truck.

Dr. Frank Marshall of Marshall Swine Health Services emphasized that point during an Oct. 31 conference call with hog producers.

“We’ve just got to be adamant about this,” he said, noting several complaints he has heard from producers about dirty livestock trailers.

PED has been found in several Manitoba barns, and hog transport trucks regularly travel across the prairie provinces.

They also travel to the United States, where 31 states have reported infection and millions of piglets have

died since May 2013.

A truck wash protocol involving transporters across the international boundary would be up to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, said Bahamon.

He has shared information with the agency, which he said is exploring a national approach.

There are no details, but he speculated it could involve sealing trailers at the border and requiring them to visit a truck wash that has approved protocols before proceeding to any Canadian hog facilities or barns.

GOV’T POLICY | ENVIRONMENT

Sask. unveils environmental regulations

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan’s new environmental code is finally in place, but it doesn’t include chapters on climate change, landfills and domestic waste water.

Environment minister Scott Moe said the ministry and stakeholders have more work to do on those issues.

Ray Orb, acting president of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, said RMs had concerns about those chapters.

“We made it clear to the ministry that we wanted to talk more about those, particularly landfills,” Orb said after Moe announced the code.

“We had some concerns about the added costs that might be passed on to municipalities. I indicated to the minister this morning that we’re going to continue the dialogue on that one.”

Officials said there was concern about whether proposals dealing with landfills would solve problems. The draft code, released in January 2012, looked at requirements for design, construction, operation and decommissioning of landfills.

Orb said SARM is also concerned about spreading liquid domestic waste.

“We realize that there are sensitive areas, but at the same time we think we should be able to continue doing that because in a lot of cases municipalities … or private people don’t have any other options,” he said.

The draft code said the practice would not be allowed within five years of the code coming into force and suggested 20 new small lagoons would be needed at a cost of $14 to $20 million to contain waste water that was once spread.

Yields of 29 bushels per acre produced an average soybean crop for Kevin Elmy this year.

The veteran soybean grower’s 650 acre crop near Saltcoats, Sask., likely outperformed many other producers as soybeans pushed into nontraditional regions this year.

Elmy, who had to use less-thanideal varieties for Saskatchewan soil, said his major hurdle wasn’t necessarily the weather, but topography.

Well-positioned fields performed,

but soybeans in low-lying, flat spots took water damage and yielded below 15 bu. per acre.

Still, the farmer and seed retailer was skeptical of Agriculture Saskatchewan’s average yield estimate of 12 bu. per acre, which was published last month in the ministry’s provincial crop report.

“I’m not doubting that there’s some wrecks out there, but to say that the provincial average is 12, that would be hard to believe,” said Elmy.

Elmy said farmers to the north of him yielded 15 to 28 bu. per acre, although he was aware of poorer per-

forming crops in the Regina area.

Statistics Canada has pegged the average soybean yield in Saskatchewan at 26 bu. per acre.

Yield numbers are bound to stir debate among farmers testing the crop and those skeptical of its performance. There was lots of buzz at wintertime meetings last year, and Saskatchewan farmers eventually seeded 275,000 acres to soybeans, up 115,00 acres from 2013, according to Statistics Canada.

Saskatchewan Agriculture’s yield projections are based on reports from more than 220 crop reporters.

Terry Bedard, an agrologist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said the estimates contained in the crop report can be conservative.

“I suspect with soybeans, it’s probably, I guess, No. 1 because it’s new and No. 2, we probably don’t have a lot of crop reporters growing soybeans,” she said.

“I guess my usual response is if people are seeing it and don’t really like it, then maybe they could help us and sign up and be crop reporters so we can get better numbers.”

Soybean performance in Saskatchewan varied from one extreme to the

other. Elmy said he’s heard reports of 30 and 40 bu. crops in the Humboldt area, while Travis Wiens of Annex Agro said farmers in the Milestone area harvested 12 to 20 bu. per acre.

“I think it’s a wake-up call as much as anything,” said Wiens, whose customers were second and third year soybean growers.

He said half of his orders were cancelled when wet, cool weather delayed seeding in spring.

Some growers in his area were still seeding soybeans in late May. All of the varieties listed in Saskatchewan’s Varieties of Grain Crops have days to maturity in excess of 120 days, which would have been a challenge in a tough year with a hard frost in September.

Heat units can also be a problem in a short season.

“It is a lot of risk with not necessarily a bunch of reward,” said Wiens.

“We’ve always cautioned them. On a gross margin basis, I’m not sure soybeans are going to be your best paying crop, but we do believe that guys need to take some time and learn how to grow them.”

He said new varieties will improve crop performance in the future, but farmers also need to fine-tune their agronomic package. Heavy, wet clay soil tests the crop, and tillage and starter phosphorus are possible solutions.

“We still have growers who are booking soybeans, maybe not as many acres … and probably with more intention to focus on how do we get up to 30, 35 bu. yields consistently,” he said. “We know we can do that, but we need to learn those nuances and what works specifically in our geography.”

Elmy tells his customers to budget for average yields over several years of 25 bu. per acre. He said bad weather and “shaky agronomy,” including rotations, affected performance this year.

“When people started growing canola, when they started growing peas, any of these new crops 25, 30 years ago, yeah, there are hiccups,” he said. “As we go along, the soybeans are going to take a foothold.”

• In wet soils, pathogens such as Pythium species, Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum can cause root rot in soybeans, which leads to yield loss.

Registered seed treatments and use of resistant varieties are recommended.

• Sclerotinia sclerotiorum or white mould may infect soybeans, especially in wet years. Initially, flower petals are infected and the disease eventually affects the stem and pods killing the top of the plant. Rotations with non-host crops might reduce the incidence but many crops and weeds are hosts to this disease. Closely spaced plants that form a canopy quickly, early in the season are at increased risk.

• Powdery mildew is a potential problem in cool years, but will generally only cause yield reduction if it occurs in July.

PRAIRIE INSECTS | POPULATION RISES

Cutworms take slice out of Sask. canola yields Numbers up after wet springs | Farmers urged to scout fields in spring when young larvae are most damaging

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

After years of declining numbers, cutworms once again reared their heads in Saskatchewan this year, forcing producers to take control efforts.

According to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crop Production News publication, populations in extreme cases were more than 30 acres in size.

Populations were below levels seen in the late 2000s, when the cutworm was identified as a major canola pest, but its resurgence in a cold, wet spring wasn’t expected, said Scott Hartley, insect specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture.

“Certainly we’ve been having quite moist years the last few years,” he said.

“We thought that was maybe one of the reasons for the decline, but I would have to say, for me anyway, the resurgence seems to be more of a surprise than anything this year.”

The pests will feed on most crops.

Scott Meers, insect management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said he heard reports of cutworms in the province this year, but levels weren’t as severe as in recent years.

In Manitoba, provincial entomologist John Gavloski listed cutworms as one of the province’s top three insect pests, along with flea beetles and grasshoppers.

“We’re into a phase right now where we’re seeing some higher numbers, not just this year but the last couple years,” said Gavloski.

He said farmers in Manitoba have sprayed for cutworms in the last two years, with some crop lost to the pest this year.

Five species of cutworm are significant canola pests — redbacked, pale western, darksided, army and dingy — according to the Canola Council of Canada, but forecasts aren’t issued for cutworms as they are for other pests.

“There’s no real reliable way to estimate populations with cutworms,” said Hartley.

Some species overwinter as eggs and others as larvae, while others target foliage or stems or feed underground.

It is difficult to correctly identify the species, even for experts, and it is common to see multiple species in a field.

As well, some species in the canopy and others several centimetres in the soil can make control difficult.

“We may apply a control measure, which reduces the outbreak but doesn’t give you the level of control you’re hoping for,” said Kevin Floate of Agriculture Canada in Lethbridge, who is heading a cutworm research project funded by the Canola Agronomic Research Program.

The program, which has been receiving samples from across the Prairies, wrapped up field work this year.

“Some of the pest species that we have have been around for decades,” Floate said.

“We know a lot about them, but we’re also seeing new cutworms species becoming more of a pest concern and we don’t have a lot of information for these new cutworms species that are popping up.”

One of the goals of the program has been to develop tools to help producers identify the species of cutworm in their fields.

He said the initiative has developed a test to quickly identify the species of cutworm submitted to commercial labs, and an identification guide for producers is coming after research wraps up in the next year.

Hartley said redback cutworms have been more common in the eastern half of the Saskatchewan and pale western in the other half, although more uncommon types, such as bristly, can also be found.

“When we get reports of an out-

break of just one cutworm species, we have no reason to disbelieve it,” said Floates. “But we’ve learned to be cautious because often these single species outbreaks are mixtures of species — sometimes three species.”

Gavloski said the dingy and redback cutworms are more common in Manitoba.

“They’ve been building for a couple of years. Cutworms populations do that. They tend to be regulated by natural enemies and maybe to some degree the weather,” he said.

“They go through cycles where they’re bad for a few years and then populations drop, and as natural ene-

mies get lower, they come back again.”

Producers have access to nominal thresholds as guidelines for spraying, although they are based on industry experience rather than research. As well, there are effective foliar insecticides and natural insect predators and birds.

Scouting fields is important because it is the smaller, young larvae that are the most damaging to crops in spring.

“But the biggest thing is just regular monitoring of the field to ensure you get your timing out there early enough before significant damage is done,” said Hartley.

CUTWORM FACTS • Redbacked: Overwinter as eggs.

Larvae have two red stripes. They feed on leaves and stems.

• Pale western: Overwinter as eggs.

Larvae are colourless and feed underground. They produce holes on emerging leaves.

• Darksided: Overwinter as eggs.

Larvae have a white stripe. They feed on emerging plants.

• Army: Overwinter as larvae.

Yellowish with dark stripes.

• Dingy: Overwinter as larvae.

Larvae are grey with a light line down its back. Feed on canola through June, primarily on leaves.

SASKATCHEWAN PESTS | PRODUCER WARNING

Growers urged to watch for cabbage seedpod weevil, midge Insect moving across Sask. | Pesticide control is needed if infestation is high

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The cabbage seedpod weevil continued its march into Saskatchewan this year, says an entomologist.

“To me, that one is one that producers really have to be watching for, being aware of, as it’s expanding its distribution in the province,” said Scott Hartley, insect specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture.

“Because that definitely is one that requires control if you have high enough numbers in it.”

Hartley said cabbage seedpod weevil and Swede midge are emerging

insect pests in the province.

Officials have been watching the growing footprint of swede midge in northeastern Saskatchewan for the last few years.

However, cabbage seedpod weevil has a longer history on the Prairies.

It was first found in Alberta in the late 1990s and has been known to producers in southwestern Saskatchewan since the early 2000s. It has since moved across the province, feeding on host plants that include canola and mustard.

The provincial agriculture ministry conducts a survey every year to estimate the insect’s range.

“Its main movement has been west to east,” said Hartley.

“So from the southwest, now we’ve found it just about to the Manitoba border in Saskatchewan, whereas to the north it’s been a much more gradual move.”

Hartley said rangeland and the sand hills in southwestern Saskatchewan helped act as a buffer, but cabbage seedpod weevils have now been found as far north as Kindersley and Outlook.

Cabbage seedpod weevils are monitored with sweep nets during the growing season.

Spraying is recommended when

The cabbage seedpod weevil feeds on canola and mustard. | three to four adult weevils are collected per sweep.

Spraying is recommended when at 10 to 20 percent flower.

“Crop rotation is always an option in one of these (insect pests), if it’s not a general feeder like grasshoppers,” said Hartley.

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Alberta cattle producers are considering a $4 per head checkoff, up from the current $3.

The proposal, which has been discussed at Alberta Beef Producers zone meetings, is for an additional $1 non-refundable levy that would be used for marketing, research and communication.

It would be added to the $1 per head earmarked for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, which is nonrefundable, and the $2 surcharge that goes to ABP, which is refundable.

ABP chair Greg Bowie told producers Oct. 27 that the organization refunded $2.2 million in check-off money this year. ABP has refunded 30 percent of eligible funds since 2010, when a portion of the checkoff became refundable under provincial legislation, he added.

“In other (agricultural marketing) groups, losses are in single digits. It’s not a major concern,” he said.

“But when you hit 30 percent plus, it is a major concern.”

Bowie said 80 percent of the refunds are requested by feedlot operators, most of whom don’t redirect it to any other cattle organization.

Several producers said feedlot owners benefit from the work of ABP, so it is unfair of them to request refunds.

Cattle producer and feedlot operator Leighton Kolk agreed but said feeders might have had their reasons.

“Some of it is a little bit of a spanking from cattle feeders,” he said.

“Maybe some of those people have got it out of their systems.”

One producer asked whether the names of those getting refunds could be made public, but Bowie said shaming is likely not a good option.

“We’ve talked about it a lot and every time it comes up and there’s been a vote on it, we’ve chosen to leave the list as private information.”

Reasons for requesting refunds vary, said ABP director Cecilie Fleming.

“For some it may be economics, some maybe they’re unhappy with the organization. It’s a personal choice that was granted and we have to live with the reality of what was granted.”

Overcoming obstacles to rural care Dementia | Expert details ways to tackle memory loss issues

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Dementia care in rural communities has its challenges, but a leading researcher says there are ways communities can help those affected.

Anthea Innes of Bournemouth University in Poole, England, said dementia can’t be prevented but it can be slowed.

“Things that are good for your heart are also good for your brain,” she told delegates at the Safety and Health in Agricultural and Rural Populations conference in Saskatoon last month.

She cited reduced levels of smoking and alcohol consumption as ways to be proactive.

Innes said there are 44 million people worldwide who have dementia. In 2013, Canada had 747,000 people with dementia.

The number of cases is expected to reach 1.4 million by 2031, with costs of $33 billion per year to care for dementia patients in Canada.

Innes’s research in rural communities in the United Kingdom has shown that service providers, caregivers and dementia patients feel much is lacking when it comes to

For service providers, specialized staff and transportation are lacking for patients.

Caregivers and people with de-

mentia also see gaps in day care, respite services, home care and caregiver support.

The situation is similar in Canada.

Ruth Miller, director of Continuing

Care in Saskatchewan’s Heartland health region, cited an eight-hour education session on dementia for staff.

“It gets us to the reasons behind their behaviour and how we can help

them deal with the behaviour more effectively,” she said.

In the region, about 30 to 40 percent of those moving into long-term care suffer from dementia, she said.

Innes brought up possible solutions to minimize dementia care issues, citing the Dementia Friendly Communities program as one example.

Sign postings could help direct people from certain areas of the community like the bus or train station.

Community businesses hire people with dementia and organize activities that people with dementia can participate in.

“It would be a nicer place for us all to live,” said Innes.

There would be better support networks, better cognitive memories, and people with dementia would have a better relationship with their community. Innes said people with dementia can do far more than expected with the correct resources.

Both Innes and Miller said this program, along with others Innes has tested in the United Kingdom, would be possible to have in Canadian rural communities.

“Rurally, within small communities, people know who has challenges and they help them. These kind of programs just make it more formal,” said Miller.

“You just need someone with the idea and willing to make it happen,” said Innes.

SOCIAL MEDIA | ETHICS

Transparency called vital when bloggers review goods and services

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Transparency crosses into many careers, and one of them is blogging.

Dianne Jacob, an editor and journalist, spoke about the ethics behind blogging at the Food Bloggers of Canada conference in Vancouver in October.

Jacob said writers, especially bloggers, need to let readers know if they have been compensated in any way for posts about goods and services.

Jacob, who noted that groups like Canadian Lentils and Turkey Farm-

ers of Canada sponsored the blogger conference, said these organizations want to increase awareness of their products through bloggers.

She said writers need to understand what they want in return.

“It brings up questions for bloggers about what they should disclose to their readers with whatever arrangement they’ve made with these people,” she said.

“Are they expecting one sentence?

Are they expecting a glowing review?

Are they expecting a 2,000-word story with photographs?”

Jacobs said producers shouldn’t underestimate the power of food bloggers.

“They have an amazing reach.”

Duncan Clark, vice-president of Strategic Initiatives for Postmedia Network, agreed.

“What we’re starting to see is bloggers are finding a way into the media mix more and more. There is lots of room for people to find their niche and turn it into something valuable.”

Clark discussed how business strategies used by Gastropost with bloggers can have benefits.

DIANNE JACOB EDITOR

Gastropost, a product of Postmedia Lab, is a 20,000-member group of mainly food bloggers from across Canada. Members receive weekly food missions and have the week to

send in text and photos about subjects ranging from peppers to burgers. Selected entries are printed in the Postmedia outlets in the blogger’s region.

Clark said bloggers have to think about themselves as products and think about the specific value they can provide to their audience.

Page views become more powerful and valuable when “you know more about who your audience is and specific things your audience gets out of it.”

“

B

ehind every successful person is a substantial amount of coffee,” reads a plaque in my office.

Coffee has seen me through late nights spent studying and writing papers at university and the blurry, lack of sleep days of early motherhood. Now it is the kick start I need each morning.

New research indicates that coffee, which is high in antioxidants, may have several health benefits. The WebMD website indicates that there are more than 19,000 research studies showing coffee’s benefits ranging from reduced rates of Alzheimer’s and dementia to protection against Parkinson’s disease to decreased risk of heart disease and stroke.

Studies also indicate that coffee drinkers, when compared to noncoffee drinkers, have fewer cases of certain cancers especially liver, kidney and bladder cancer.

As with everything, moderation and listening to your body are key.

For Canadians, drinking coffee is part of our national identity.

Canadians average 3.2 cups per day.

Coffee beans grow on shrubs in subtropical, high elevation areas and are seeds, not beans, found in the fruit or cherries of the coffee plant. Each cherry produces two green seeds, with 4,000 seeds needed to produce one pound (500 g) of coffee.

The world’s coffee supply comes from two main species, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica is the original coffee plant from Ethiopia and accounts for about 75 to 80 percent of the world’s coffee production.

It contains less caffeine but has a more desirable flavour then Robusta, which has twice as much caffeine as Arabica. The beans have a bitter flavour.

Robusta, generally considered to be a lower quality, accounts for about 20 percent of the world’s market.

Robusta beans are often used in cheaper blends and in espresso blends for added bite.

Coffee time THE PERFECT BREW • Two tbsp. (30 mL) of whole beans or 1 to 1.5 tbsp. (15 to 20 mL) ground coffee per 3/4 cup (175 mL) is the accepted recipe for a full body cup of coffee.

• Choose a grind that matches your brewing method. It should be noted that the type of filter that you use affects brewing time. Timing the length of your brew will help you figure out the right grind.

• Coffee is 98 percent water so the quality of water determines quality of coffee.

Hard water may yield a metallic tasting

coffee while soft water may make coffee taste flat. You can try to use lighter roasts in softer water and darker roasts in hard water to balance flavours. Use a charcoal filter to help get rid of chlorine flavours.

• Water should be heated to 200 F (93 C) for best results. This makes a huge difference in extracting flavour. Hotter than this develops bitter flavours.

Temperature is one of the biggest factors to consider when trying to replicate the taste of your favourite restaurant coffee.

SPECIALTY COFFEE RECIPES Green coffee beans are roasted to remove moisture and develop colour, flavour and body.

Roasting is part science and part art.

It is usually done at about 400 to 500 F (200 to 260 C) for three to 20 minutes.

For maximum freshness, use coffee within seven to 10 days after opening the package. Keep coffee in an airtight container away from moisture, heat and strong odors.

Freezing coffee is controversial but most agree that you can freeze coffee beans or ground coffee for up to three months to preserve freshness. Allow to come to room temperature before brewing. Do not refreeze.

Most specialty coffee recipes start with espresso. Making espresso requires an espresso machine. If you don’t have one, use instant espresso or espresso powder. Espresso powder is also great for adding a rich coffee flavour to baking. Below are some basic specialty coffee recipes. You can also add coffee syrups, usually about 1 tbsp. (15 mL) to any of these recipes.

• Espresso: Forcing hot water, under pressure, through dark roasted, finely ground coffee creates espresso. If made properly a thin layer of caramel coloured froth called crema will form on top. It takes about 1/4 ounce (7 g) of ground espresso to make a one oz. (30 mL) shot of espresso. Add sugar to taste, if desired.

• Cappuccino: one oz. (30 mL) espresso, one cup (250 mL) milk and sugar to taste.

Steam and froth milk. Add steamed milk to espresso. Spoon foam on top. Add sugar or sweetener, if desired.

• Cafe-au-Lait: half hot strong coffee and half hot milk.

• Caffe Latte: similar to a cappuccino with less foam.

• Espresso Macchiato: one oz. (30 mL) espresso with a spoon full of foamed milk on top.

• Latte Macchiato: 1/2 c. (125 mL) hot, frothed milk with one oz. (30 mL) of espresso added through the foam.

• Caffe Americano: one oz. (30 mL) espresso, 2/3 c. (150 mL) boiling water and sugar to taste.

• Cafe Mocha: same as a caffe latte with the addition of one tbsp. (25mL) chocolate syrup.

EASY BLENDER ICED CAFE-AU-LAIT A small amount of xanthan gum is the secret ingredient to a thicker consistency.

You can also use a combination of milk and cream or try it with chocolate milk or a shot of your favourite coffee syrup.

• Grinding: A coffee grinder’s task is to granulize the coffee beans into even, same sized particles. Each brewing method has a complementary grind size, which is based on the amount of time the water will contact the grounds. In general, the longer the brewing time, the larger the particle size. Smaller than ideal particle size adds bitterness while larger then ideal particles can cause weak flavour.

If you grind your own, burr grinders that use discs rather then blades are best for delivering consistent, same size particle grinds.

Various grinds include: • Pulverized: is as fine as flour and used to make Turkish coffee. • Espresso: is also fine and powdery and used for espresso. • Fine or Vacuum: is not quite powder and is used in vacuum coffee brewers. • Manual Drip: is a medium fine grind suitable for four to six minute brewing times. • Automatic Drip: is a medium grind designed for six to eight minute brewing times. • Coarse grind: is for any brewing method that takes longer then eight minutes.

Coarse grind is also suitable for French press, percolator or cowboy-campfire coffee.

LOOKING BACK | FOOD DELIVERIES

Youth eager to hit road to support war effort Food for the fighters | Contribution possible with early driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence

BY JOHN OYSTRYK FREELANCE WRITER

At age 16, I did my part to support the war effort by driving goods to town from the farm each week.

My service story began with a trip to the post office in June 1940 with my father, John, who farmed with my mother, Maria, in the Verigin, Sask., district.

National registration was implemented during the Second World War so the postmaster gave my dad a piece of paper and pencil and told him to write down the names and birthdates of immediate family members.

In August 1940, a man with the government of Canada drove his 1934 sedan into our farmyard, clad in semi-dress clothing.

He told us the government needed to record what amount of food was produced and sold by the farm.

The form included some of these questions and answers: â&#x20AC;˘ How do you get the farm work done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by tractor or horses?

With 16 horses. â&#x20AC;˘ You have a big barn so you must have cattle?

Yes, over 40 head of cows, yearlings and calves.

â&#x20AC;˘ I see you have a large extra building, do you raise hogs?

Yes, between 12 and 15 each year. â&#x20AC;˘ How many chickens?

About 200 each year. â&#x20AC;˘ What size and how many (cream containers are delivered) per week?

Five gallon containers: on a week with some rain, five. On a dry week, four. â&#x20AC;˘ How do you keep it from (spoiling) for seven days?

In an ice house and below ground level.

The man then informed us the government needed the food to feed army, navy and airforce personnel and wanted us to deliver it to town twice a week.

When my dad told him he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough coupons in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wartime ration book to allow for the 32 kilometre return trips, we learned we would receive extra coupons for gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not have time to go to town twice a week,â&#x20AC;? my dad then told him as he detailed his work in haying, harvest, threshing and fall field and yard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who do you think does all of this work to keep this farm producing?â&#x20AC;? he asked.

The man was stumped for a moment, then turned to me standing nearby.

He asked my age and when I would turn 16.

My dad replied it was September.

Th e ma n t h e n s a i d h e w o u ld arrange for a driving exam in Kamsack when I turned 16.

If I qualified, I would be issued a driving permit and I would deliver products like cream, eggs and butter to town.

When he learned I had already been driving meals to the field and doing errands in the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1929 Model A Ford Touring, the man said a driving test was unnecessary and would be replaced by a brief exam about driving safety.

I was thrilled to be able to drive on the road legally by my 16th birthday.

In those years, no one could qualify until age 18.

My 16th birthday arrived and Dad and I drove to Kamsack, Sask., where I qualified for the permit.

The licence issuer informed me that the permit was just for me to deliver food products to town twice a week.

Despite this restriction, I felt proud that at the age of 16, I was making a contribution to the war effort.

LOOKING BACK | FARM SERVICE

Service postponement still source of quandary

BY JOHN OYSTRYK FREELANCE WRITER

In 1942, I received the official call to serve in the Canadian army.

I visited Dr. Peter Potosky, our family physician, for a complete medical exam, then waited to be called to Regina to collect a uniform before beginning training.

My father, John, expressed his concerns about farming with one less helper when talking with our municipal councillor Jacob Tysowski.

Tysowski then arranged a meeting with Mike Gabora, a local committee chairman, to discuss the need for sufficient farm labour to produce the food needed for the war efforts.

We were told to prepare detailed

information about our farming operation, including the person hours required to get the work done each day.

In addition, we needed to indicate how much of our farm production was available for sale each week and throughout the year.

The meeting was held and five p a g e s o f q u e s t i o n na i re s w e re answered and signed by those in attendance.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before I received a letter from Ottawa informing me that my call to serve had been postponed until further notice. I never heard from their office again.

Since 1942, I have often wondered what my life would have been if I gone to serve in the war.

FOOD PREPARATION | TOOLS

Pots and pans key to cooking success TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

W

hen most of us think of cooking, we think about fresh ingredients, proper measurements and cooking times.

But pots and pans matter too.

Stovetop cooking pots and pans contain materials ranging from copper to aluminum to cast iron. Each material has unique qualities and reacts differently with the cooktop and food.

The type of cooktop in the kitchen must be compatible with the pot. The type and thickness of the material affect the speed that heat is dispersed through the pan to the food.

Consider the specific use for each pot. Aluminum pans are good conductors of heat and are lightweight and easy to handle, but food should not be stored in them. A chemical reaction will bring a change in colour and flavour.

Stainless steel pans are attractive but not good heat conductors. They will have hot spots, resulting in uneven cooking.

Cast iron pans conduct heat well and hold it for a long time. The pan must be pre-seasoned before using or it will dry out and food will stick.

Season it by cleaning it in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly, and rub with cooking oil on all sides. Place in a 325 F (175 C) oven and bake for an hour. Turn off the oven and let cool to room temperature.

I wash my pan in soapy water after using it but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scour it so it maintains its non-stick qualities. Re-season if food sticks to the pan.

Non-stick coatings on pans are great for cooking low-fat meals because they do not require added oils. Do not use any metal utensils or rough sponges on them because the coating easily scratches.

Copper conducts heat better than any other metal but it is expensive, heavy and requires polishing because it tarnishes. Copper reacts with food and creates poisonous compounds so pots are usually lined with a metal like stainless steel.

Use a simple sauce pot for cooking potatoes and vegetables.

When cooking with a pot, match it to the size of the element or burner.

The heat source should not be larger than the pot or the sides will be too hot and begin to burn the food inside.

A stockpot is a deep pot with high, straight sides and two handles. It is best for making stocks or heating a large quantity of liquid.

A saucepan is similar but shallower.

The lower pot makes it easier to stir the food.

Saute or frying pans are shallow pans with one long handle and either straight sides or sloped sides. The sloped sides make it easier to use a spatula and turn food over.

A seasoned cast iron skillet is a kitchen staple. It is heavy and holds a even heat. It can be used on the stovetop or for baking in the oven.

Enamelled cast-iron pots have the same properties as a cast iron skillet.

They are heavy and deep, usually

round or oval in shape with two handles and a lid. These pots, also called Dutch ovens, are great for cooking hearty meals like stews, roasts and ragus and useful for braising and simmering.

Double boilers are for preparing food that cannot be held over direct heat. A double boiler consists of a bottom pot that holds water and an upper pot that rests inside over the steam and away from direct heat.

When the water in the bottom pot begins to simmer or boil, the steam rises and heats the upper pot.

Double boilers are key in warming delicate food like custards and melting chocolate. The upper pot can be metal or ceramic.

Roasting pans are deep and rectangular and used mostly for roasting meat and poultry. They are generally used with a rack to hold the meat so the entire piece of meat develops a caramelized exterior. The drippings are used to make sauces and gravies.

If you have purchased a specialty cooking pot, check the instructions for use. Some are designed to be used on a gas cooktop only.

Consider the type of cooktop.

Cooks love gas because of the faster response when adjusting the heat.

There is no warming up or cooling down time required.

Induction or flat top ranges require pots with flat, magnetic bottoms. The warranty is also voided if you place

Aluminum, stainless steel and enamelled cast iron pots and pans each offer different heating characteristics and should be suitable for the type of cooktop being used. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTO too much weight on them like canners filled with water.

Choosing the right pots and pans for the job makes great food.

FREETOWN, P.E.I. — Philosophy collided with profitability at Barnyard Organics, a Prince Edward Island farm operated by Mark and Sally Bernard.

The result was a profitable organic farm in the heart of the island’s potato fields.

Mark emerged from his college business and plant sciences studies with the goal of making money in organic farming. His wife, Sally, whom he met at school, shared his plans.

Now the Bernards’ fourth generation farm has been fully certified as organic since 2010, and there is no going back to its history in dairy and potatoes.

“From the get go, it was strictly business,” said Mark.

“We were going to make money.… things were working and we really believed in it. Now we don’t really see any other way of doing it. We’re still making money but we just really believe and love the philosophy of organic and what it does.”

Like Mark, Sally grew up on a farm and brought livestock experience to the marriage and partnership.

“I always wanted to farm, but I’m the youngest of nine and it was not a big enough operation for me to fit in,” she said.

“I came with a love of livestock, so I brought with me sort of my ongoing 4-H project. My dowry was a flock of sheep.”

After the birth of the couple’s fourth child, they decided the organic sheep business was too time consuming, so they sold the flock and started a Community Shared Agriculture project involving meat bird sales.

That was added to their 500-acre operation that is farmed in a five-year crop rotation and includes milling and feed wheat, soybeans, barley, field peas, oats and clover.

An organic feed processing mill, a small-scale poultry processing facility, laying hens, a few pigs and a milk cow round out the operation.

Sally and the “crew boss,” her daughter Lucy, 6, manage the chicken sides of the business, with 120 layers. The meat birds, raised only in the summer, are pasture-raised.

About 80 families in Charlottetown and Summerside receive one chickCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE »

en every two weeks, processed on the farm and provided whole or cut up.

Eggs are also provided in a CSA system, said Sally.

“We’re happy with the scale that we’re at now. I don’t really want to get any bigger. The scale that we’re at, Lucy and I can do it, just the two of us, and it’s fine.

“Our philosophy is that we would rather have 1,000 farmers have one pig than one farmer have 1,000 pigs, so we’re trying to do maybe a bit of a model so we can show people that you can raise organic chickens on pasture and make money and it’s a business model. It’s not just a dream and this backyard thing.”

The on-farm feed mill began as a way to make their own organic feed, but other farmers approached them seeking an organic feed processing source.

Now Barnyard Organics is certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to make organic feed for others, as well as supplying its own needs. A soybean roaster is dedicated to organic and non-genetically modified soybeans.

“We’ve really been pushing the livestock side of it, and having livestock on the farm, as well as being supportive of livestock feed,” said Mark.

There are challenges with fertilizer on an organic farm, he said. The Bernards trade their clover crop for dairy manure, which must age for six months before it can be used.

Combined with mussel shells from the province’s large mussel production industry, the manure is incorporated with calcium, nitrogen and various seawater-borne minerals and salts.

“You get a nice product out the end,” said Mark.

Grain is the profit base for the small-scale operation that has many other parts, but the Bernards consider their size to be ideal.

“We’re at a good, happy stage right now. We would like to see more neighbours and more farmers rather than us farm more acres,” said Mark.

Added Sally: “I think the danger is the bigger we get, the more we might possibly start to cut corners or have somebody else doing the work who wouldn’t maybe care quite as much. So this way, we’re in control and it’s at a quality that we’re confident in.”

The couple manages the farm with help from Mark’s father, so the labour demands can be considerable when spread among only three people.

However, they were selected in 2012 as the Atlantic Region Outstanding Young Farmers, an honour that brought more attention to their operation.

“It’s all kind of built slowly and gradually, the infrastructure on the farm, for what we need, and we’re kind of trying to be a support system for the organic industry as well as being able to sell our own product a little better,” said Mark.

Barnyard Organics is one of few organic farms on the island. Land prices range from $3,500 to $5,500 per acre in this region so without farm succession, it is difficult for young farmers to enter the industry.

EMERSON | NEW WINTER WHEAT

AG NOTES

Resistance-rated wheat shows well despite weather

NEW ARYSTA SALES MANAGER

Less seed for next year | The winter wheat is resistant to fusarium head blight and stem, leaf and strip rust

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Proponents of the first every fusarium resistant wheat say the crop performed well this year, despite trying conditions during the growing season.

Emerson, a winter wheat variety, is the first of any class to receive a resistance rating for fusarium head blight.

“Emerson did remarkably well considering the huge pressure put on the 2014 winter wheat crop, starting with a cold long winter and a very wet growing season,” said Brent Derkatch, director of operations and

Considering the challenges of the season, we’re very, very pleased with the results.

BRENT DERKATCH CANTERRA

business development for Canterra.

He added that Emerson appears to be gaining popularity and most of the company’s seed grower network has waiting lists for it.

Canterra’s original projections suggested it would have enough seed

available for 200,000 acres for this fall, but that was before untimely bad weather this autumn caused harvest delays and raised quality concerns.

As a result, Derkatch said orders have been adjusted.

“But sales levels were still very, very good.

“Considering the challenges of the season, we’re very, very pleased with the results.”

Some areas were short of seed supplies and some may have had a bit to spare, primarily because of the weather, but Canterra was able to move seed into most key areas, he said.

In addition to having resistance to

fusarium head blight, Emerson also has good levels of resistance to stem, leaf, and stripe rust.

As well, Emerson is suited to the Canada Western Red Winter milling class and has improved protein levels, Derkatch said.

“Although further end use quality testing will have to be done as time progresses, early indications are very positive.

“The area of adaptation for the variety is the winter wheat growing areas of Western Canada, with a particular focus in areas with the greatest FHB pressure, which has historically been the eastern Prairies,” he said.

Mark Peel is Arysta LifeScience North America’s territory sales manager in the Delta sales region.

He will focus on working with growers regarding fungicides in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee.

STUDENT INTERN | INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION

Ghanaian intern hones farm management skills Beef farm the goal | Earth University student says he will take back ideas gleaned from Ontario vegetable farm

BY JEFFREY CARTER FREELANCE WRITER

WATFORD, Ont. — Tropical Ghana is meeting temperate Canada, thanks to a southwestern Ontario farm family’s sponsorship of Hayford Gyamfi.

The 28-year-old student, who plans to pursue an agricultural career in his homeland, said his internship near this rural Ontario community with vegetable growers Tony and Joanne Hogervorst has been useful.

“We don’t grow such crops as you have here in Canada, but I’m not looking at that so much as the management and other strategies. These are things I can apply back home,” Gyamfi said.

The Hogervorsts employ 20 offshore and Canadian workers, and Gyamfi has been working among them. It’s given him hands-on experience with post-harvest equipment, and he’s seen how the family manages their labour.

“As we have more time, we’ll talk more about the economics of the different crops,” Tony Hogervorst said.

Gyamfi, along with Hatian Pouleus Appolon, are the latest of several student interns hosted by the Hogervorst family. Both are studying at Earth University in Costa Rica.

“Our population in Ghana is increasing every day, and we need to produce more to improve our country. We want to make a sustainable farm — socially, economically and environmentally — and we want to provide jobs for young people.

JHAYFORD GYAMFI, UNIVERSITY STUDENT

They’ll be staying with the Hogervorsts in their home until January.

“There’s quite the expectation for these young people at this university.

Only a fraction of the people who apply get into it,” Hogervorst said.

Earth University was founded in 1986 with support from the Costa Rican government, the U.S. Agency for International Development and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

More than 80 percent of the 420 students from 35 countries are from rural communities. Sixty percent are on a full scholarship and 40 percent are women.

Gyamfi is pursuing a four-year master’s degree in agricultural sciences and natural resource management.

He said the institution emphasizes sustainable agriculture, ethical values and social justice.

Gyamfi, whose original ambition was to become a professional soccer player, graduated as a first class student from the Kwadasa Agricultural College in Ghana. On graduation day, he met a professor from Earth University who suggested he apply to the institution.

In 2011, he was awarded a full scholarship.

“I think the university has given me the platform to realize my dreams,” he said. “I’m a young guy trying to make something out my life.”

Working with a partner, Gyamfi hopes to establish a beef farm in two or three years in the northern part of Ghana, where his family has access to land.

Their idea is to start with a herd of 50 indigenous cattle, which are disease resistant and adapted to the region’s environment.

Rotational grazing of native grasses is also part of their plan, along with the storage of silage and hay for the dry season, tree planting and the construction of a bio-digester to turn manure into methane as an alternative to wood for cooking.

“Our population in Ghana is increasing every day, and we need to produce more to improve our country,” Gyamfi said.

“We want to make a sustainable farm — socially, economically and

Mosaic profit up on higher phosphate sales

Camera ideal for the trail

(Reuters) — Mosaic expects record-high global phosphate and potash shipments next year despite concerns that weak crop prices will reduce farmers’ fertilizer purchases.

The company’s quarterly profit jumped 63 percent because it sold more phosphate at higher prices.

The world’s largest producer of finished phosphate products said next year’s global shipments look to reach 64.5 to 66.5 million tonnes, up from 64 to 65 million this year.

The company expects global shipments of potash will increase to 58 to 60 million tonnes from 57 to 58 million.

Corn and wheat prices plunged this autumn to multiyear lows amid a huge but delayed U.S. harvest.

Those factors have caused farmers to back off on fertilizer purchases, especially of potash and phosphate, U.S. retailers say.

“Yeah, there’s ups and downs, dips and valleys, but the trend is unrelenting,” said Mosaic chief executive officer Jim Prokopanko.

“It is upward.”

AgResource president Dan Basse said lower profitability would lead farmers to reduce their biggest expenses, such as seed, nitrogen fertilizer and land.

“We have farmers in the United States this upcoming crop year that will try to get by without using much fertilizer,” Basse said.

Mosaic’s phosphate volumes rose 22.2 percent to 3.3 million tonnes in

the third quarter, while net phosphate sales rose 21 percent to $1.7 billion.

The average realized price of diammonium phosphate rose 5.7 percent to $461 per tonne.

Mosaic said in September that it would reduce phosphate production because of rising costs of the raw materials sulfur and ammonia.

The company said its phosphate sales would fall to 2.5 to 2.8 million tonnes in the current quarter from 3.4 million a year earlier, with prices ranging from $430 to $450 per tonne.

Mosaic expects potash sales to rise to two to 2.3 million tonnes this quarter from 1.9 million tonnes. It forecast prices at $275 to $295 per tonne.

We know the value of cold weather germination.

We have to. It’s Canada.

Creating a seed treatment that helps crops withstand this country’s unpredictable elements was no accident. Like you and your operation, Insure® Cereal was built in Canada. Of course more consistent emergence in cool germination conditions is just one of this innovative seed treatment’s advantages. It also delivers increased biomass both above and below the ground, and provides the plant with enhanced ability to manage exposure to minor stress.* They’re all part of the unique benefits** we call AgCelence®. And Insure Cereal is the only cereal seed treatment that has them. For details, visit agsolutions.ca/insure or call AgSolutions® Customer Care at 1-877-371-BASF (2273).

*All comparisons are to untreated unless otherwise stated. **AgCelence benefits refer to products that contain the active ingredient pyraclostrobin.

S

couting the countryside for game sign is an important part of successful hunting. Trail cameras are excellent tools for establishing nature’s routines in an areas populated by game.

The Bushnell Bone Collector Trophy Cam has an eight megapixel camera, can last from six months to a year on eight AA batteries and is capable of recording still photos or video with audio. It is 5.5 by four by two inches and just the right size to be mounted to a tree as a concealed and silent observer.

It is activated by motion sensor that is sensitive out to 45 feet. It has a number of sensitivity settings, and I have found its “normal” setting is too much for areas with lots of tree movement. Even its “low” sensitivity reacts to leaf movement when the camera is set up to monitor a big area.

I have found success in positioning the camera in such a way that it is limited to only the smallest area I want to monitor. Otherwise, it may take many unnecessary photos.

The camera can record hundreds or thousands of photos, even on some of the least expensive memory cards on the market. Both the daytime and nighttime photos are reasonably clear unless the subject is moving quickly.

The camera is capable of image resolutions up to eight megapixels, but I have found the sweet spot to be five megapixels to balance image clarity with how many photos a memory card can hold.

Recorded images or videos may be viewed on a computer or television using the included cables. The number of photos or length of video taken during motion activation is adjustable.

The trail camera also came with a mounting strap to wrap around a tree. It is adequate, but the buckles required a bit of finessing. Once properly mounted, the strap does a good job of keeping the camera steady.

A secondary use for the camera is as a security monitor for suspicious activity. It makes an excellent silent witness with its motion sensitive cameras, which work for up to a year monitoring an area day and night.

Always be mindful of how well a trail camera is concealed and mounted. This model may be padlocked to prevent others from accessing its memory card and settings.

It is weather sealed and functions up to -20 C. I have been impressed with this trail camera for its $200 cost. It has proven to be accurate and reliable in the field after a period of settings adjustment.

Always read and follow label directions.

AMERICAN APPROVAL | LOBBY EFFECTIVE

Industrial hemp nears wider approval in U.S. Commercial crop | U.S. growers can only grow hemp for research purposes

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

If Jason Lauve is right, industrial hemp may become an everyday crop in the United States sooner than expected.

Lauve, founder and executive director of Hemp Cleans, a nonprofit based in Colorado that lobbies for the regulation and cultivation of industrial hemp, said U.S. federal lawmakers are looking at legislation that would allow American farmers to grow hemp commercially.

“There’s a bill being brought (forward) next session… at the federal level that’s going to take the hemp regulatory system to the federal conversation,” Lauve said.

Thomas Massie, a Kentucky congressman, said Bill 525 would amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana.

According to Vote Hemp, an industrial hemp lobby group, 50 members of the House of Representatives are co-sponsors of the bill.

Lauve said prominent senators also support hemp legislative reform.

“We have people like Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell … to see that they’re engaged in this conversation, tells me that we’re going in the right direction,” said Lauve, who thinks Bill 525 could become law in 2015. “I think it’s actually going to be in the next year.”

The talk in Washington, D.C., may be encouraging to advocates like Lauve, but hemp production has moved well beyond the conversation stage in Colorado.

The U.S. farm bill, passed this winter, featured an amendment permitting the cultivation of hemp for research purposes.

Agriculture departments and universities in states that have passed legislation allowing hemp production can initiate research projects.

Colorado universities are pursuing hemp research and the state’s agriculture department issued more than 100 registrations permitting farmers to grow hemp.

Veronica Carpio, a grower who also markets hemp coffee, said a diverse coalition supports Colorado’s nascent hemp industry.

In Kentucky, another state pursuing a hemp industry, university researchers harvested a crop at 15 locations.

However, several roadblocks remain.

Capio said acquiring enough seed and making sure it is of the proper type and quality are key.

This spring, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency seized 120 kilograms of imported industrial hemp seed from Italy, which was destined for research projects in Kentucky.

Kentucky’s Department of Agriculture filed a lawsuit, claiming the seizure was illegal. The federal government relented and turned over the hemp seeds to Kentucky officials.

To make a point about importing hemp seed, a colleague of Lauve’s purchased 200 kg of seed in MacGregor, Man. He attempted to transport it across

the border south of Cartwright, Man., but U.S. customs officers seized the seed and federal officials have refused to release it.

Lauve said the U.S. has to resolve the issue of moving seed across borders before industry can thrive.

“That’s not only an issue with Canada but also an issue with the EU and the Asian countries,” he said.

“This is an international conversation at this point.”

HEMP LEGISLATION AT THE STATE LEVEL • Eighteen states have removed barriers to industrial hemp production, including North Dakota and Montana.

• Three states — Colorado, Kentucky and Vermont — had research plots in 2014, as permitted by the U.S. farm bill.

• In 2014, hemp legislation has been introduced or carried over in 28 states.

American farmers are eager to have hemp approved as a commercial crop for use in the industrial and pharmaceutical sectors. | FILE PHOTO

NEW PRODUCT | FIBRE DRINK

Put down the spoon; oatmeal available in a glass near you Hot or cold smoothie | Saskatoon man worked with the development centre for more than a year to perfect the recipe before taking it to market

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

“Oatmeal” and “smoothie” are two words that don’t usually go together unless it’s in a breakfast list.

George Barreras decided otherwise.

Almost four years ago, Barreras moved from Colombia to Canada, where he assumed people were familiar with oatmeal drinks.

“To my surprise, people didn’t even have that idea that oat can be a drink,” he said.

Two years later, Barreras went to the Saskatchewan Food Industry

Development Centre in Saskatoon with the hopes of creating an oatmeal smoothie called Oatdeal. He received funding from the Saskatchewan Agri-Value Initiative to develop the prototype for his smoothie.

“You can’t imagine the number of times you have to test and test and test until you finally get the product you really want,” he said.

Barreras said it took a year and a half to get the exact formula he wanted for his product.

Time was another challenge. A fulltime job at the waste-water treatment plant in Saskatoon made it difficult for Barreras to devote time to

his smoothie.

“Someone would want to meet on a Wednesday, and I’d have to say, ‘I can’t. I’m working.’ ” Barreras said his company is the first in Canada to make oat-based smoothies.

Oatdeal comes in three flavours: vanilla, chocolate, and cinnamon, which has been the most popular since Barreras started selling his smoothies a month ago.

The smoothies can be enjoyed hot or cold, mixed in a cup or blended.

Barreras said people enjoy it because of how new it is.

“The only winter drinks we have (in

Canada) are coffee, tea and hot chocolate. I’m bringing up a completely different winter drink.”

Barreras produces his smoothie at the Food Centre because he doesn’t yet have a plant of his own.

He sells them at the Regina Farmer’s Market, the SaskMade Marketplace in Saskatoon and on his website. They will also soon be available at Co-op stores, he added.

Two crates have been sold at SaskMade Marketplace since sales began.

“My teenage daughters really like it,” said Wanita Manske, a staff member at SaskMade. “It’s a quick way for them to get their oatmeal.”

Barreras’ biggest challenge now is to get people to try Oatdeal, and he uses free samples to help raise awareness of the product. He plans to keep offering samples at the farmers market and SaskMade for another year.

Barreras hopes to get Oatdeal into national and international markets.

“The Government of Saskatchewan has a huge support for entrepreneurs.

If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t ever have been able to start this company.”

Another product, Oatffee, is also made of oatmeal but is added to coffee.

GOLD

SILVER Amberfield Farms Ltd., Leland Kimpinski, Morris Industries Ltd., Westrum Lumber

The largest private donation in Lethbridge College history, $3.1 million, was announced recently on the college campus.

The late Lloyd and Dorothy Mueller provided the gift, which will be used to establish the Mueller Program in Irrigation and the college’s first fully funded research chair in irrigation science.

College president Paula Burns announced the institution will supplement the donation with an additional $1.9 million, bringing the total for the new program to $5 million.

Burns said the donation was a transformational gift that will ensure a continued focus on high quality agricultural education.

The Mueller family has its roots in a farm north of Warner, Alta. Lloyd was one of 10 children who grew up on the farm, but after serving in the air force during the Second World War, he moved to Lethbridge and managed several businesses as well as stock trading, from which he gained most of his financial success.

Dorothy Mueller worked in administration at St. Michael’s hospital in Lethbridge for 35 years.

Married for 55 years, the couple had no children. Lloyd died in 2009 and Dorothy in 2013.

Their nephew, Michael Mueller, said his aunt and uncle wanted their donation directed to the faculty of agriculture at the college, and the college identified the irrigation program as a worthy beneficiary.

“My uncle and aunt wanted to find a way to advance the pursuit of knowledge through their legacy. They wanted to offer a benefit and make this available to as many people as possible and they felt a gift to Lethbridge College is the best way to do that,” Michael Mueller said.

Southern Alberta has 67 percent of irrigated land in Canada, making it a logical choice for programs, said Burns.

She said the Mueller donation is the second pillar in a campaign to raise $25 million from the private sector for a variety of college projects.

Cor Van Raay’s donation earlier this year helped establish a southern Alberta agribusiness program between the college and the University of Lethbridge.

GRAIN MOVEMENT | MINIMUM VOLUMES

Swifter grain flow hints at end to rail regulations Mandate to end Nov. 29 | Some say the volume requirement created a disadvantage for special crops and short line railways WINNIPEG (Reuters) — Ottawa plans to lift requirements that railways move minimum volumes of crops, says agriculture minister Gerry Ritz.

Ritz said he is not ruling out any options before the rules expire Nov. 29, but government data shows that grain has flowed more smoothly since the current harvest began compared to a year ago.

The government would need to see “a complete failure by the railways to move grain” to extend the minimums, Ritz said, citing potential signs such as grain piling up in elevators and boats waiting to load at ports.

Problems still exist, he added, but not like in early 2014.

A record-large harvest and harsh winter overwhelmed Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway last winter, plugging grain elevators and forcing farmers to store millions of tonnes of crop instead of selling them for cash.

Ottawa responded with regulations forcing railways to move about one million tonnes per week combined.

“There are some stories out there still that make the hair on the back of my neck stand up,” Ritz said.

“But having said that, the order in council did what it was intended to do.”

Lifting the regulations would please fertilizer makers and mills, which have complained they are at a disadvantage, but would risk upsetting farmers as the governing Conservatives head into an election year in 2015.

Canada expor ted 3.9 million tonnes of wheat and 1.9 million of canola through ports from Aug. 1 through Oct. 19, up 16 and 41 percent, respectively, despite a smaller harvest this year, according to Canadian Grain Commission data.

“Things are going fairly well,” said Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corp., which monitors grain movement for Ottawa.

“While grain companies still say they are short on rail capacity, the numbers are better than the five-year average in terms of port unloads.”

Smoother grain movement coincided with the government order in March and milder weather.

CN spotted 5,267 western Canadian grain cars per week on average in September, according to company data. It was up 26 percent from a year earlier but shy of the 5,659 cars that grain companies ordered.

CP moved 25 percent more cars in the third quarter than in the yearearlier period, spokesperson Breanne Feigel said.

Even so, there is plenty of grain still to move, Hemmes said.

The Canadian Transportation Agency is gathering data to determine how busy the winter shipping season may be. Its data, along with Quorum’s, will go to Ritz and transport minister Lisa Raitt, key figures in the government’s decision on regulations.

A decision earlier this month by the CTA may also give grain shippers the upper hand in dealing with railways.

It sided with the Canadian unit of global grain trader Louis Dreyfus Corp., which argued CN breached its contract by failing to provide ade-

quate service.

“It is a very constructive victory for shippers and farmers,” said Brant Randles, president of Louis Dreyfus’s Canadian unit.

Randles said he is not convinced the volume requirements need to be extended, largely because of a smaller harvest this year.

CN said Western Canada’s key supply chains are back in sync and the railway is moving record volumes of grain. CP said it wanted to work with stakeholders on improving supply chain efficiency.

If you’re going to extend the directive to railways to move minimum volumes, you have to be more surgical about it so that processors’ needs are met.

GORDON HARRISON CANADIAN NATIONAL MILLERS ASSOCIATION

To be sure, some want Ritz to keep up the regulatory pressure.

The Western Grain Elevator Asso-

ciation wants volume thresholds to remain at least through winter.

If the regulations stay in place, eastern Canadian processors say they need to include minimum shipping volumes to Canadian and U.S. mills and separate minimums for processed products.

To meet volume targets, the railways funneled maximum volumes through big west coast and Lake Superior ports at the expense of eastern Canadian and U.S. processors that cannot accommodate large trains, grain buyers said.

Supplies of wheat and oats to those plants dwindled sharply last winter and never fully recovered, creating potential shortages for food companies that buy flour, milled oats and canola oil.

“Rail service continues to be inadequate, uneven and unpredictable,” said Gordon Harrison, president of the Canadian National Millers Association. “If you’re going to extend the directive to railways to move minimum volumes, you have to be more surgical about it so that processors’ needs are met,” he said.

The feeder association loan guarantee program doubles the maximum individual loan limit to $1 million.

More money is also being released for applied research on agricultural sustainability. The Agriculture Opportunity Fund has been doubled to $3.5 million.

Those announcements are the beginning of the government’s plan that it said will help rebuild rural communities.

“Alberta is a great place to do business, but we need to make sure we are always carrying forward to make it even better so we have the best climate in North America for small business. That applies to the businesses that are ground in rural Alberta economy,” said Prentice.

The r ural revitalization plan addresses five areas: • industry and business development • improved access to capital for rural entrepreneurs and businesses • labour shortages • infrastructure improvements • collaboration between government departments and stakeholders Meetings earlier this year with more than 230 people in eight communities included a discussion of common themes and barriers to building more business in rural areas.

“This is not a cookie cutter approach with an exact formula that fits every community,” said agriculture minister Verlyn Olson.

“We see government’s role as being a facilitator and trying to provide infrastructure that is necessary for people with good ideas and the entrepreneurial spirit.”

Common themes emerged.

Communities want high speed internet access improved.

“If we want young people to stay in rural Alberta or locate in rural Alberta, the next generation is going to demand that kind of connectivity,” he said.

Finding employees is a constant challenge, and the province wants the federal government to be more flexible when it comes to bringing in foreign workers.

“Seventy-five percent of the new jobs created in Canada last year were in Alberta, yet we don’t feel as though we have the tools we need to be able meet the demand for labour,” Olson said.

“That is a limiting factor when it comes to expansion or creation of a business.”

Rural revitalization does not necessarily mean a community will get a new factory or food processing plant.

Agriculture, oil and gas and forestry are all under consideration, but there must be good reasons for businesses to locate to rural communities.

“This is a world wide phenomenon of urbanization and it is important for us to make sure living in rural Alberta does not put at you at a disadvantage,” Olson said.

MILK-FED CALVES | PROCESSING

Quebec launches veal brand just as calf prices take off Competition for premium meat | Processor says the Vivo brand will include new cuts and introduce products like veal bacon

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — A Quebec company’s new branding program intends to keep milk-fed veal on the plates of North Americans, but it’s not going to be easy.

Mario Maillet, president of Écolait Ltd., said 90-pound calves are now selling for more than $400. In the past, some farmers didn’t bother marketing their calves when they sold for $125, euthanizing them instead.

“Now there’s a lot of competition to get the male calves,” he said.

“The thing is, it (the high price) is good for farmers of course. On the other hand, it increases the cost of production by $300 an animal.”

It means consumers are paying even more for what was already considered a premium meat, Maillet said. The cost of production for milkfed veal animals that finish at 550 lb. is about $1,200, if not more. They dress out at about 320 lb.

Data for finished animals collected

by Statistics Canada help confirm Maillet’s numbers.

Milk-fed carcass prices in Quebec have been strong and rising all year.

They averaged $363.75 per hundredweight in January and increased to an average of $445.33 in October.

Prices late last month were about $30 higher.

The price for grain-fed veal, which is finished at a higher weight, has also reached record levels, averaging $247.09 per cwt. for the first 10 months of this year and peaking at $324.88 in October. Écolait is based in Ste. Hyacinth with a slaughter and cutting plant in Montreal, a cutting plant in upstate New York and an alliance with Delft Blue Food Innovations in Ontario. Écolait and Delft Blue are both part of the Grober Group, which is headquartered in Cambridge, Ont. The Grober Group is involved in production and processing and manufactures milk replacer.

Maillet said products labelled with the Vivo brand will soon be listed in Metro and IGA stores in Quebec.

Negotiations are also underway for distribution in Ontario and other provinces.

The company said the Vivo brand will include new cuts and innovative products, such as veal bacon. Écolait markets 40 percent of its veal in Quebec, which at three kilo-

grams per person is triple the consumption rate of the rest of Canada.

Thirty percent goes to the United States, 20 percent to other provinces and the rest overseas to destinations such as Dubai and Japan.

Martin Gooch with Value Chain Management International in Oakville, Ont., who has worked with the veal industry in the past, said a key consideration for businesses such as the Grober Group is to understand what the marketplace wants.

“They have some very clever people at Grober, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re doing it the right way.”

Grober is the largest milk-fed veal value chain in North America.

Eighty percent of Écolait’s veal is milk-fed and the rest is grain-fed.

The company slaughters 1,700 animals a week, of which 1,200 are produced on Quebec farms. The remaining supply is split between Ontario, the Maritimes and the U.S. Écolait has various arrangements for its supply, including its own production facilities, purchases from privately owned farms, financing arrangements and custom-production arrangements.

Maillet said his company has a good

relationship with Union des Producteurs Agricoles and Fédération des Producteurs de bovins du Québec. He said the Assurance stabilization des revenues agricoles program has been important, providing the industry with a better structure by helping cover producer losses in Quebec when prices are low.

Quebec and Ontario produce 95 percent of the veal in Canada. The rest is spread between the Maritimes, Alberta and British Columbia.

There’s a greater emphasis on grain-fed veal in Ontario, with most of the slaughter occurring in provin-

cially inspected processing facilities, according to the Ontario Veal Association. The main market is the greater Toronto area.

Keels said Quebec’s ASRA program has allowed the province to maintain a milk-fed veal industry. Grain fed veal makes more financial sense In Ontario, where 450 producers are in the business, she added.

Keels also said Maillet’s $400-plus figure for bob calves (less than 176 lb. dressed) is accurate, but only for topend animals, which are usually produced when a Holstein cow is bred to a better muscled meat breed.

Cow-calf survey launched across Western Canada

Southern U.S. Great Plains to see fewer canola acres

CROSSFIELD, Alta. — A wideranging survey of cow-calf operations has been launched in Western Canada.

No study of this kind has been conducted since 1999, and that one was available only in Alberta.

Government, researchers and producers groups agreed it was time to find out what is happening on beef operations across the four western provinces.

“The industry has changed a lot since then, and we decided it was probably time to do another one of these surveys. Most of the questions are directly relatable to that 1999 survey,” said Karin Schmid of Alberta Beef Producers.

The information can be used to develop research programs and extension courses and may also confirm shifts that have occurred on many operations.

that survived to that time are also included.

New questions relate to modern practices such as swath grazing and pain control for dehorning and castration.

The questionnaire asks for producers’ gender, how long they have been in the business and their ages to see if there is a shift in the demographics of western ranchers.

It is suspected that most are growing older with fewer young people joining the business.

Individual results will not be shared, but interested producers can request an individual report to compare their operations to others.

The deadline to submit a written or online questionnaire is Feb. 28 with results expected in late spring.

The last survey found nearly half of cows calved within the first 21 days of the season, that the average weaning weight in 1998 was 576 pounds and that one-third of producers tested their feed.

Winter canola acres in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas will decline this year, following a disappointing crop in 2013-14.

The canola industry in the Great Plains is going through a period of uncertainty after several years of expansion and talk of one million acres.

A proposed canola crushing plant in Enid, Okla., is now on hold, and some growers are backing away from the crop.

Bob Schrock, a canola grower from Kiowa, Kansas, near the Oklahoma border, said acreage in the southern Great Plains will be down from last year, when farmers planted 340,000 acres of canola.

“Instead of 1,000 acres, they (growers) may be planting 500,” Schrock said.

Acreage estimates will likely be released in a few weeks, he added.

Schrock said farmers seeded less canola this fall partly because yields were horrible in the spring.

Winter was much colder and drier than usual, winterkill was commonplace and many crops were a write-off.

Canola prices have also dropped.

A crushing plant in Oklahoma was paying $8.24 per bushel Oct. 29, down from recent years when canola was selling for $10 to $13 per bu.

Heath Sanders, a field specialist with the Great Plains Canola Association, said dry conditions in September also curbed acres.

Farmers in Oklahoma normally seed canola in the last two weeks of September, but it didn’t rain from Sept. 1 to Oct. 10.

“We had guys that had their seed lined up and were going to plant,” Sanders said. “They kept waiting and waiting and some of those farmers dusted the crop in … and some guys backed off.”

Northstar Agri-Industries announced plans two years ago to build a canola crushing plant in Enid. A company spokesperson told the Enid News in September that the 2,200 ton per day facility is shovel ready, but Northstar won’t invest $250 million until the time is right.

“We’re no less committed to the project. We just want to make sure we get out on the right foot with such a large expenditure,” said Northstar president Neil Juhnke.

“We need to see there’s going to be the acres there to support the plant.”

Sanders said the canola crop is in good shape going into the winter, and Oklahoma farmers might feel more optimistic about the crop if the area receives rain and avoids another brutal winter.

“We really need a good crop here.

There’s nothing that will lift sprits like a good crop.”

SASKATCHEWAN EXPORTS | TRADE MISSION

Trip to India will focus on energy, agricultural trade, says Sask. premier

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall is heading to India next month to drum up more business.

A Nov. 15-23 trade mission will focus on the province’s agricultural and energy sectors. This is his second trip to India in three years.

“It’s a good chance to say thank you,” he told reporters about why it is important to travel there rather than conduct business from afar.

India is now the province’s fourth largest trading partner. Exports of pulses and potash dominated the $1 billion worth of products that were sold to India last year.

Canada and India signed a nuclear

co-operation agreement since that first trip, which offers opportunities for Saskatchewan uranium.

The upcoming trip includes a government delegation of seven and is expected to cost $120,000.

Wall will help open the Canadian pavilion at Agro Tech 2014 in Chandigarh and speak to 400 farmers in Muzaffarnagar about potash.

“The Indian market for potash has presented certain challenges for Saskatchewan potash of late, but now some very good prospects are occurring,” he said.

Canpotex has asked for government support because most purchases in India are made by government agencies and require a government-to-government relation-

ship, Wall said.

Saskatchewan’s exports to India have increased 69 percent since 2007, while imports were $40 million last year, up 244 percent from 2007.

Topping the list of exports last year were peas at $355 million, lentils at $335 million and potash at $304.5 million. These have consistently been the top three exports since 2005.

Contestant 1386 is a four-year-old cow.

The Miss Milk Cow contest has been an October fixture since 2004 in the popular backpacker destination of Moc Chau.

Owners armed with hair dryers and Vaseline jelly primp the contestants for the beauty pageant, which helps promote dairy farming in Vietnam.

They adorn their animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heads with bright red bows before taking centre stage in front of hundreds of camera-toting spectators. Some farmers use baths, massages and music to soothe their cows.

Two contenders calved during the Oct. 15 event, earning their owners a special prize of $100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contest is part of our life. I love it,â&#x20AC;? said Truong This Khanh, a former teacher who found his vocation as a dairy farmer and now owns 33 cows.

The contesting cows are judged on the basis of a solid torso, great legs,

gait and obedience as they take two rounds of the circular arena in a twohour finale.

They are also judged on the amount of milk they produce. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champion, a Holstein-Friesian known for her high yield, outshone 125 finalists from the region with daily milk production of 42 kilograms.

The 2014 winner had it in her genes, being the offspring of a former Miss Milk Cow title holder. Contestant 1386, who weighed in at 830 kg, was crowned with a tiara and a cow-sized sash that emphasized her status as champion breeder.

Owner Bui Van Dinh, 61, took home a milking machine, a trophy and a cash prize of $2,600. It was his first grand prize in nine attempts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cows feed us, so we need to praise them,â&#x20AC;? said Dinh, an engineer who turned to dairy farming two decades ago.

WTO RULING | VIOLATION

U.S. coalition stands with Canada on COOL Coalition of companies | The group fears billions in lost sales to Canada and Mexico if the country doesn’t heed the WTO ruling on labelling

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — Canada is getting help fighting U.S. country-of-origin labelling legislation from Americans.

In an Oct. 30 letter to Congress, the U.S. based COOL Reform Coalition said it is “gravely concerned” about the negative impact that the existing American COOL rule for meat will have on the entire economy.

Tired of the United States ignoring the World Trade Organization rulings that the U.S. violated its trade obligations with Canada and Mexico,

the Canadian government has drawn up a preliminary retaliatory list that targets a wide range of products that will affect every state.

“It is expected that U.S. industries would suffer billions in lost sales if retaliation is allowed,” wrote the 109 coalition members from a diverse group of associations and companies that represent U.S. food, agriculture and manufacturing industries.

Tariffs from Canada and Mexico could total more than $2 billion, said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Dave Solverson.

Having the coalition oppose the

COOL legislation is a huge benefit to Canada, said Solverson.

“It will definitely help.”

Except for a handful of American protectionist organizations, like R-CALF, most U.S. meat organizations are opposed to COOL legislation. The latest coalition, worried about tariff retaliation, will help the American meat organizations be heard in Congress.

“A lot of the organizations represent a huge amount of people: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, wine growers. Everyone is afraid of retaliatory tariffs,” said Solverson.

The U.S. can appeal the latest decision, but losing could subject the U.S. to a range of retaliatory tariffs from Canada.

“A finding of non-compliance would surely result in serious economic harm to U.S. firms and farmers that export to our neighbours,” they wrote.

The coalition’s website shows state-by-state, the potential impact if retaliatory tariffs were initiated by Canada and Mexico. Texas would have the biggest impact with a potential $9.2 billion worth of exports that targets beef, prepared food, machine

parts and spirits, the website says.

California could suffer $1.8 billion of economic impact. Canada has targeted wine, bread, jewelry, pasta, cherries, soups, biofuels, milk powder and steel from that state.

Michigan could have a $3.2 billion economic impact. Beef, chicken, car parts and corn are targets in that state.

The list was created to ensure the economic impact will hit all U.S. states. Canada has targeted everything from video game consuls to tires, car parts, engines, mattresses and alcohol.

Chilled and frozen sheep and goat meat from animals of any age may now be exported to Mexico after years of being banned.

Since 2003, only lamb from animals younger than 12 months was allowed.

Canada does not export much lamb or mutton because of low domestic supplies, but processors requested export certificates as they looked for new markets to sell offal and mutton to Mexico.

Corlena Patterson of the Canadian Sheep Federation said most restrictions are related to scrapie, a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy disease that does not affect meat and is not a risk to human health.

“Every country has a different requirement and every country has a different level of risk assessment,” she said.

Mutton is a popular meat in Mexico, and demand for Canadian product has the potential to grow to $12.5 million.

Total mutton exports were $800,000 last year.

The most recent data from Statistic Canada shows that Canada imported more than 17 million kilograms of lamb and mutton last year, mostly from New Zealand and Australia.

Canada exported 39,800 kg last year, down from more than 57,000 kg in 2012.

The last national livestock census, which was released in August, said the flock had dropped by one percent to 893,000 sheep and lambs on 10,111 farms.

Canadian sheep production is mostly located in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta.

Farm cash receipts for sheep and lambs were $117.8 million, 0.2 percent of total farm receipts.

LIVESTOCK | IMPROVED GRAZING

Mob grazing proponents advise gradual approach Experts visit Canada | American graziers draw on their own experiences as they help other producers get the most from their pastures

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

Mob graziers Greg and Jan Judy almost went bankrupt when they first started using mob grazing. | GREG JUDY PHOTO

ARTHUR, Ont. — The learning curve was steep and nearly fatal when Greg Judy began mob grazing cattle in 1999.

He had the pastureland, the animals and equipment. What he failed

to recognize was the need to fully integrate all aspects of his fledgling operation in central Missouri.

“Basically, we were doing everything wrong in 1999. I was very close to going bankrupt,” he said.

“I didn’t focus on what was really important, the forage, the grass … and we were pushing the animals too

With up to 8% more yield than other inoculants, it makes a welcome addition to any operation.

Chances are if you grow peas or lentils you’re already using inoculants.

What you may not realize is they’re not all created equal. That’s why you should insist on Nodulator® XL. With the most active strain of rhizobia, it improves nitrogen fixation for increased root biomass and top growth. It all adds up to higher yield potential. So when you choose Nodulator XL, we suggest you think ahead to harvest time—and think big.

hard. We lost track of them getting enough energy.”

Today, Judy and his wife, Jan, raise cattle on almost 1,600 acres of leased and owned land, including 750 acres of pasture. It’s a rolling area of woodlots and idled farm fields a short drive northwest of Columbia.

Drawing on the mob grazing techniques popularized by South African rancher Ian Mitchell-Innes, Judy views his operation as a kind of web in which various species, from the soil microbes to the cattle, each fill an interactive role.

Success depends on maintaining a healthy soil ecosystem, which in turn provides the foundation for healthy forages and healthy animals, he said.

This requires that the soil remain covered, but Judy also suggests a rotational grazing system in which a substantial amount of trampled forage is left each time the herd is moved. The technique, known as mob grazing, maintains a high animal and acreage population over a short period and improves plant productivity.

“For every grass blade you trample into the ground, you’ll get two back.”

Judy did talk about cattle density, such as 100,000 pounds per acre, but said cattle producers interested in mob grazing should not get caught up in the numbers. Rather, they might start with modest change.

For instance, a farm that’s been pastured as a single unit might be divided into two or four parts as a way to increase forage potential. Similarly, increases in cattle density should come gradually.

Jack Kyle, a grazier specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry, heard Judy speak.

“About 99 percent of what you heard today will work in Ontario,” he said. “The one advantage we had here in 2013, we only had two days of over 33 C temperature. And we usually get regular rain.”

July can be sweltering in Missouri, with temperatures exceeding 33 C and little rain falling for days on end.

However, the state does enjoy relatively mild winters.

Kyle’s preferred approach to pasture maintenance is similar to what Judy advocates, but pastures may be grazed lower, less trampling is involved and animal density is less.

Kyle said pasture is ready for cattle when it’s about as tall as a two-litre bottle of soda. They should be removed once the pastured is shortened to the height of a two-litre bottle laid on its side.

Mob grazing often advocates taking less grass than that, Judy said.

“When you move your cows, there should be enough forage left in that paddock for one more day,” Judy said. “Remember, we’re in the solar collection business, not the grass killing business.”

Judy claims to be able to build 13 centimetres of soil in just five years, but he said higher plant brix levels, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE »

which is a measure of sugar, is a better way to keep track of improved soil health.

“The brix in our grasses are skyrocketing. We’ve measured brix in our clover as high as 22. We started out with brix in our grasses a low as eight,” Judy said.

Other signs of improved soil health are more observational in nature.

One of the more obvious has been the apparent increase in earthworm numbers. Judy said a single earthworm can reproduce up to 1.2 million times in a seven year life span, while a ton of earthworms can produce as much as 100 tonnes of castings in a year.

A return of dung beetles to his property in small but growing numbers also indicates that the soil ecosystem is moving in the right direction. The insects take manure deep into the soil and their presence limits flies’ ability to reproduce.

Yet another sign of improved soil health has been the return of native species, both eastern gamagrass and deep-rooted big bluestem.

Gamagrass, now on 20 to 25 percent of his grassland, tolerates wet conditions. Judy said it’s a top-notch warm season fodder but cannot be successfully stockpiled for winter feeding.

“We didn’t plant it. It just appeared,” he said. “It was probably here 100 years and the seed sat in the soil.

When you see these native grasses appear, it should be red flag that you’re doing things right.”

Judy also has measures for animal health. Again, it’s a matter of careful observation.

For example, bawling cattle are a sign that there’s a concern to be addressed. Cattle grazing under the hot wire indicates that it is past time to move them, as is bare soil and the formation of cow paths.

Keeping an eye on body condition is a priority for Judy.

Slick, shiny cattle are an indication that they have been well fed. He also looks for signs of adequate rumen fill by examining his cattle between pastures.

The paralumbar fossa, which is the area in front of the hip bone on the left side of cattle, is the key visual indicator of rumen fill. A depression that can grow to a distinct triangular shape in extreme cases is a sign that they are not getting enough to eat.

The area will be flat or even slightly bulged when rumen fill is strong.

Animal genetics are also important to Judy. He raises Southpole cows that his website says are designed to eat grass rather than the typical largeframed animals in many feedlots.

They are of moderate size with the cows weighing no more than 1,200 pounds, which helps reduce compaction issues in wet conditions.

Judy prepares a rib eye steak from every animal slaughtered to ensure good eating quality.

“A lot of us are getting animals to the abattoir too soon,” he said.

“Some people like lean beef. I don’t.

I want to see some fat on it.”

Judy also looks to improve his herd by culling animals that are susceptible to such problems as worms. He doesn’t use parasiticides such as Ivomec because he feels they can damage the soil fauna.

Judy supplies minerals, but he’s noticed the requirement has diminished over time.

“About 80 percent of it is excreted.

Our mineral intake is down 75 percent because they’re now in the forages,” he said.

Judy’s operation has grown, but he

has downsized in another sense.

Other than an all-terrain vehicle, he owns no equipment. He focuses solely on growing pasture and buys hay when ice and snow cover makes it necessary.

Profit is a prime motivation for Judy but not the only one. He’s looking to bring lasting improvements to wildlife habitat and water recycling on the properties he leases and owns. To this end, he uses a technique known as pulse grazing, in which large numbers of animals are moved into a woodlot or riparian zone.

“Cattle will destroy riparian zones if you leave them there. We put them in, 250 head, for about 12 hours.”

Woodlots have also been improved, attracting a wider variety of wildlife including “monster bucks” that are prized by hunters in the area.

LIVESTOCK | GRAZING TIPS

Strategies suggested for extending grazing

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

ARTHUR, Ont. — Cattle producers who want to extend grazing into the winter must start planning in the spring, says mob grazing advocate Greg Judy.

Judy said he accounts for central Missouri’s dry mid-summer weather and the requirement for stockpiled pastures during winter when calculating the carrying capacity of his pastures,.

“Stockpiling is the biggest money saver in a grazing operation,” he said.

Judy avoids grazing immature plants in spring and grazes as lightly as possible during this critical period to ensure there’s enough re-growth

for summer. As well, stockpiled winter pasture should be grazed no shorter than seven to 10 centimetres.

Pastures to be stockpiled are grazed at least once during the regular grazing season. This produces dried top growth with energy-rich seed heads as well as green plants in the under storey that the animals can reach.

Judy said his plants continue growing in this under storey until December.

“My pastures used to be killed with the first frost in October,” he said.

“A mature sward insulates the ground. I’ve seen stockpiles from the previous fall and in March the clover is still green under the fescue.”

Judy maintains a spring calving herd, avoids harvesting market cattle

during winter and allows his cows to wean their own calves. Cows that fail to wean their calves in a timely manner are culled.

Maintaining body conditions over winter is important, which makes it important to feed good quality hay when stockpiled pasture is unavailable. Judy said he aims for a cow condition rating coming out of winter of 3.25 out of five.

Extending the pasture season may be more difficult in Ontario than Missouri, but Judy sees stockpiling as a way to extend the pasture season for a few weeks.

Jack Kyle, a grazier specialist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry, said tall fescue and trefoil can be best stockpiled in Ontario.

AUSTRALIAN EXPORTS | BEEF DEAL

POTASH | GLOBAL PRICE DIP

Australia frustrated by cattle trade delays with China over tiny insect

PotashCorp hurt by fall in income from overseas investments

Midge causes bluetongue | The virus could threaten China’s sheep sector highs, but under-used feedlots and abattoirs and cheaper labour in China should allow the Asian country to keep down costs.

China’s regulatory agency, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said scientists are now in Australia, but offered no guarantee a deal with Australia would go ahead.

The delegation is looking at how bluetongue is managed, the Australian agriculture department said.

Analysts said that if a deal is reached, it was likely Australian cattle would be quarantined for several weeks to ensure no sign of bluetongue.

The stakes are high for Australian producers.

“If beef demand in China takes off, there probably isn’t enough cattle in Australia to keep up,” said Willem Rudolf Westra van Holthe, minister for primary industry in Australia’s Northern Territory.

SYDNEY/BEIJING (Reuters) — An insect the size of a pen tip is frustrating efforts by Australia to sign a deal to export live cattle to China.

The deal, which is potentially worth billions of dollars, is designed to feed China’s fast-growing appetite for red meat.

Talks have stalled over the presence in the Australian herd of bluetongue disease, a virus spread by midges.

While the disease usually has little effect on cattle, it would pose a major threat to China’s 140 million strong sheep flock.

“I was hoping we could get a deal by now,” said Barnaby Joyce, Australia’s agriculture minister.

“We are on the edge of securing a deal, but unfortunately in trade, you can be on the edge for quite some time.”

Shipping live animals from Australia to China has been discussed for years. Official talks began in February and a team of Chinese scientists is carrying out on-site inspections.

However, there is no timetable for an agreement and no guarantee one will be reached.

Live exports could help curb high beef prices in China and open up a new market for Australian farmers.

China’s total beef imports are expected to triple to $9 billion by 2025, according to Australian government and United Nations estimates.

Bluetongue, which is common in tropical and subtropical regions, was first detected in Australia 35 years ago and has since spread across the countr y’s north, carried by the blood-feeding midges.

The live cattle deal is now expected to be delayed until at least 2015, according to officials at regulatory agencies and industry bodies.

Limited land, water and feed is keeping China’s cattle herd from growing in size, despite buoyant demand for meat. Many feedlots and abattoirs are all but empty.

Chinese beef production is expected to ease slightly next year to 6.5 million tonnes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

China has turned to imports to meet demand. It takes about half of its needs from Australia, buying $778 million worth of red meat in 2013-14, according to Australian government data.

However, with rising demand for Australian meat from the United States, Australian exports to China are set to stall at 160,000 tonnes during 2014-15.

This has kept China’s domestic prices high at around $11.48 per kilogram in retail markets, just below a record $12.03 per kg, say analysts.

“Beef prices will remain at high levels in the short-term,” said Pan Chenjun, a senior analyst at Rabobank.

“China is already allowing more imports, but the international market price is quite high.”

Australia, which has a national herd of some 27 million head, is forecast to export about a million live cattle in 2014-15 worth $823 million, with more than half going to Indonesia.

The price of live cattle is at record

(Reuters) — Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan cut the top end of its full-year earnings forecast range and the company reported a lowerthan-expected quarterly profit as income fell from its overseas investments.

The price of potash plunged this year, hurting the profits of companies producing the crop nutrient.

The breakup of global potash trading partnership Belarusian Potash Co. nearly a year ago accelerated the price fall as it created more competition among producers.

PotashCorp, the world’s biggest fertilizer company by market value, said average realized price for pot-

ash fell nine percent to $281 per ton in the third quarter ended Sept. 30.

The crop nutrient sold for as much as $900 in 2008.

However, the company said the global potash industry was now expected to ship 58 to 60 million tonnes in 2014, higher than the 56.5 to 58 million tonnes it had estimated earlier.

“While recent weakness in crop prices is expected to result in some reduction to global crop acreage, we believe potash remains an affordable and necessary investment for growers as they look to offset lower prices by enhancing yields,” PotashCorp said.

MEDICATION RETURNS | SAFE DISPOSAL

Collection program gathers up expired vaccine from Sask. farms First for Saskatchewan | Farmers are also urged to bring in non-approved products

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CleanFarms and the Canadian Animal Health Institute recently gave Saskatchewan producers the opportunity to dispose of their expired livestock medications.

Tracey Firth, CAHI’s programs director, said these collections have also occurred in Quebec, British Columbia and Prince Edward Island.

“Offering a medications return option to the obsolete pesticide collections enables farmers a one-stop opportunity to safely dispose of both medications and pesticides,” she said.

This is the first time CAHI has conducted these collections in Saskatchewan. The success of previous collections led to the adoption of a national program with CleanFarms.

Dr. Dena Shenher, a large animal veterinarian in Melville, Sask., said vaccinations don’t become toxic once they have expired, but producers should still dispose of them.

“You’re not getting the benefit of that vaccine because the purpose is

to protect that animal from whatever disease is in that vaccine.”

Expired vaccines don’t trigger an immune system response necessary to fight the illness, she added.

However, Shenher said people still keep expired vaccines, which she attributed to an economic mindset.

“If (farmers) put out a lot of money to purchase (the vaccine) and haven’t used them, they feel obligated to still use it.”

Firth said it is difficult to say exactly how many vaccines have been collected this year, but organizers in Quebec were struck by the age of some of the expired vaccines.

She also said some of the vaccines were imported by producers.

“While it is important to properly dispose of these obsolete or expired products, it is important to acknowledge that CAHI members are providing this service for non-approved product as well as product that they have not sold,” Firth said.

“We encourage farmers to purchase Canadian approved product to support our domestic businesses that are making this program avail-

able to them.”

Shenher said farmers who can’t make it to the disposal locations can safely burn expired vaccines or return them vaccines to their vet clinic.

“We can dispose of them with our hazardous materials as well.”

Shenher said vaccines that require a mixture of powder and liquid have an incredibly short shelf life.

“Lots of clients think if they’ve got 10 doses, they can use five today and five tomorrow. Those vaccines are only really good for a few hours.”

She said producers should safely discard these products once they’ve been mixed and used.

Firth said these collections are scheduled every three years.

“For that reason, we encourage farmers to have a secure location to store obsolete or expired products in anticipation of the next collection coming to their province,” she said.

Added Shenher: “It’s good to get a bunch of that stuff out of the population. It’s not really benefitting anybody.”

PEST RESEARCH | TOXIN PROTECTION

Spider venom, snowdrops shield bees from pesticide

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. — Venom from the Australian funnel-web spider can produce a unique biopesticide when fused with a protein from the snowdrop plant.

This biological approach, which has been found to be safe for honeybees while toxic to many key insect crop pests, is opening up revolutionary methods for pest control.

Researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom tested a combination of a toxin peptide from the venom of the funnel-web spider and snowdrop protein.

They found that not only did the compound have almost no effect on honeybee survival, but equally important, had no measurable effect on their learning and memory.

Honeybees perform a number of sophisticated behaviours while foraging, during which they must learn and remember aspects of the flowers they visit to gather pollen.

Any disruption to this ability can have profound implications on their survival and that of the colony as a whole. Bees that cannot learn cannot find food and cannot return to their hives.

Combining two highly diverse resources from nature to create a biopesticide to protect honeybees is a milestone in scientific research.

“The main reasons for choosing this peptide (Hv1a) from the spider’s venom are that it is well studied and highly toxic to insects when inject-

Funnel-web spider venom is toxic to humans but appears harmless to many other species ed,” said Martin Edwards, researcher in the university’s School of Biology.

“Previous research showed that the snowdrop lectin (GNA), following ingestion by insects, is transported across the gut and into the circulatory system: haemolymph, or their blood.

“As the venom peptide is only toxic when injected into insects — think of the spider capturing a prey and injecting its venom — we have fused the two proteins, hence Hv1a/GNA. “In that way, after the insect has ingested the fusion protein, GNA will transport the venom peptide from the insect’s gut to the haemolymph, and from there onto the targets in the central nervous system.”

Edwards is part of the research team supervised by professor Angharad Gatehouse, who in October was awarded the prestigious Certificate of Distinction for Outstanding Achievements by the Council of International Congresses of Entomology. It is the world’s top accolade in this field of science.

“Our findings suggest that Hv1a/ GNA is unlikely to cause any detrimental effects on honeybees,” said

Gatehouse. “Previous studies have already shown that it is safe for higher animals, which means it has real potential as a pesticide and offers us a safe alternative to some of those currently on the market.”

The honeybees were exposed to var ying concentrations of the biopesticide over seven days, during which memory tests and behaviour observations were made. The oral pesticide ingested by the bees targeted their calcium channels.

Co-researcher Erich Nakasu said the hv1a/GNA compound was carried to the brain of the honeybee but had no effect, which suggested that the selective spider venom toxin does not interact with the calcium channels in bees.

Many commercial insecticides act on specific insect receptors and ion channels, including voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) and voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). In honeybees, calcium channels are associated with learning, so pesticides cannot be allowed to interfere with their function.

Funnel-web spider venom is extremely toxic to primates, includ-

ing humans, but it appears to be fairly harmless to many other species.

Edwards said the venom showed no effect when injected into newborn mice or adult rabbits.

“The (spider venom) shows no effects on mammalian voltage-gated calcium channels,” he said.

The fact that funnel-web spider venom does not cause toxicity in honeybees may be the beneficial result of the bee’s specific evolution.

“Hymenoptera, including the honeybee (apis mellifera) and lepidoptera, including the targeted pests mamestra brassicae, may have evolved into individual species some 300 million years ago,” said Edwards.

“Insects typically have three genes encoding VGCCs, which are assumed to have diverse physiological roles. Therefore, as it is not yet known which version of the VGCC is targeted by the Hv1a/GNA fusion protein, one could conclude that overall, through evolution and divergence, the honeybee VGCCs are not compatible with the Hv1a (spider) toxin.

“These differences prevent the spider venom from interacting with these channels in bees. This is something that the group is currently investigating by studying the interaction between Hv1A/GNA and a honeybee VGCC using an in-vitro assay.”

The research has indicated that the biopesticide will not adversely affect plants.

As well, the team is working on the effects of the product on non-target

species and have found no detrimental effects on beneficial insects such as predatory wasps.

Because neither of the compounds is toxic to vertebrates, they also believe the biopesticide to be safe for birds and many higher mammals.

Given that funnel-web spider venom is a rare commodity, commercial production of the biopesticide will require further biological development.

“The inventors of this technology, Durham University and the Food and Environment Research Agency, are working with industry to develop these biopesticides,” said Edwards.

“This fusion protein has been produced in a microbial expression system. The native toxin from the spider’s venom was not used and would be far too costly to do so. By using molecular biology techniques, a synthetic gene can be made that is a fusion between the gene encoding the Hv1a and the gene encoding the GNA. This synthetic gene is introduced into a microbial expression system. A yeast makes many copies of the fusion protein, which can then be purified using traditional chromatography techniques. This does not mean that the biopesticide is genetically modified. Rather, the protein product is derived from a genetically modified organism.”

The project is part of the Insect Pollinators Initiative. Results of the study were published this summer in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

NEWS NEWS BRIEFS AGFINANCE

DuPont profit up (Reuters) — DuPont’s thirdquarter profit scraped past the average analyst estimate as the company’s cost-cutting efforts helped boost operating margins in five of its seven businesses.

The company, which is the biggest U.S. chemical producer by market value, said operating earnings rose 17 percent to US$497 million, helping offset weakness in its farm products unit, which accounts for one-fifth of consolidated net sales.

DuPont said it expected “sluggish growth in the global economy, along with continuing headwinds in agriculture and from currency” in the fourth quarter that ends in December.

The company forecast a 20 percent rise in fourth-quarter operating earnings from 59 cents per share a year earlier. It works out to 71 cents, compared with the average analyst estimate of 70 cents, according to Thomson Reuters.

Weak corn prices have been weighing on DuPont’s agriculture business. Farmers have also been cutting back on fertilizer use because of a delayed harvest and weak crop prices.

A record corn harvest depressed prices last year, prompting farmers in the United States to plant more soybean this year.

DuPont, which makes Pioneer genetically modified corn and soybean, is more exposed to corn.

Corn seeds account for nearly half of its seed sales, while soybean makes up only 14 percent.

WORLD GRAIN | EUROPEAN CORN

EU likely to harvest bumper corn crop Good weather gets credit | Crop to be 74 million tonnes, up from 64.5 million tonnes last year HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — The European Union is in the final stages of gathering a larger-thanexpected corn harvest, with good weather helping crop development in most top producing countries.

“The harvest will mean a good market supply of maize for animal feed, ethanol and food maize,” said Claus Keller of German commodity analysts FO Licht. “It will also reduce the EU’s import requirement for maize in the next year.”

The EU is likely to gather a bumper harvest of almost 74 million tonnes of grain corn this year, up from 64.5 million tonnes last year, Keller estimated. This was up from forecasts of 70.4 million tonnes in September.

“This is one of the best EU harvests of all time following favourable weather in the summer,” Keller said.

The larger EU crop could be bad news for corn exporters to Europe, including Ukraine, he said.

The quality picture is still mixed, with repeated rain in some areas creating mycotoxins, ADM Germany warned.

The har vest is in full swing in France, the EU’s largest corn producer, and results have reinforced

The European Union is expected to exceed projections of a 70 million tonne harvest of grain corn this year. | FILE PHOTO expectations of a record crop.

French growers and brokers expect the grain corn crop to top 17 million tonnes for the first time, with trade consensus at around 17.5 million tonnes compared to 14.7 million tonnes harvested last year.

However, there is concern about crop quality in eastern France, where summer rain, which boosted yield potential, has caused mycotoxins to develop.

“The excess moisture during the summer led to the presence of micro-fungus that damaged plant ears,” a cash broker said of the Rhine and Rhone valley corn belts in eastern France.

“In quality terms, it is day and night between the southwest and the east, and some starch makers are already turning towards Atlantic coast markets to ensure they get good-quality grain.”

French farm agency FranceAgriMer estimated that 38 percent of

France’s grain corn crop was cut by Oct. 20, and brokers said the harvest has now reached its halfway point.

Keller estimated that Romania will harvest 10.8 million tonnes, up from 10.6 million tonnes last year, Hungary will harvest a bumper 8.9 million tonnes, up from 6.6 million tonnes, and Italy 8.1 million tonnes, up from 7.6 million.

In Italy, yields are forecast to increase 25.1 percent on the year to 4.45 tonnes per acre this year as harvesting moves into its final stages, said Rome-based crop research agency ISMEA. Optimal weather, notably frequent rainfall and cool temperatures during the summer in Italy, contributed to the increased production and yield outlook, it said.

Germany’s crop is expected to jump to 5.3 million tonnes from 4.4 million tonnes, FO Licht estimated.

Eighty percent of Germany’s corn has now been harvested with autumn weather favourable, a German analyst said.

However, in Poland, the crop is likely to fall to 3.7 million tonnes from 3.8 million tonnes last year, said Wojtek Sabaranski of Sparks Polska.

Rising wages lowers Asian poverty LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — The rise in rural wages now taking place across Asia could lift hundreds of millions of people out of extreme poverty in the next decade, says a new report.

GRAZING | NOT PICKY EATERS

Goats willing to work to get their fill Able to scramble up trees | Goats will clean out underbrush in bushy areas to make it suitable for sheep and cattle

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

THORSBY, Alta. — Just like the Friendly Giant, goat owners need to look up, waaay up, to see goat grazing potential.

Goats don’t just eat grass; they leap up on their hind feet, stretch their necks and browse the woody branches and leaves of trees and bushes.

“Think vertical. There’s a lot of feed up high,” said An Peischel, who doesn’t look at grass when assessing new pasture. Instead, she considers the browsing potential of the leaves and branches above her head.

“Goats are always looking at high plants,” said Peischel, a small ruminant specialist at Tennessee State University.

It’s not uncommon for goats to reach up or scramble up trees two to 2 1/2 metres high and pull down the vegetation to eat.

Peishcel and her goats are often hired to go through a brushy area to clean out the underbrush and make it habitable for sheep and cattle.

Light is allowed to filter through the branches and boost grass growth once the goats move through and clear out the brush.

Goats have also been used in areas with high fire danger. Cleaning out

Producer says goats can climb 2.5 metres up trees to reach vegetation. | FILE PHOTO the low shrubs allows fire to skim across the tops of the trees and lowers the potential of fire damage on the ground, she said.

Lee Sexton of Hanley, Sask., said he no longer looks at the grass when scouting potential grazing for his

goats. Instead, he looks for weedy areas and rough country, which he calls ideal goat grazing land.

“There is a huge potential for browsing and grazing of unwanted vegetation,” said Sexton, who is hired to graze his goats on problem weed

areas across Saskatchewan. “I don’t look at grass anymore, I look around the grass at everything else.”

He was recently contacted by a southern Alberta rancher looking for goats to graze 5,100 acres of wooded area.

Sexton doesn’t have enough goats to graze that much brush, but it shows that traditional ranchers are looking at small ruminants such as sheep and goats to complement their cattle grazing operation to improve forage.

“The demand exceeds what we can produce. The market for grazing is there,” said Sexton.

Peischel said she tries to match the stage of the weeds or shrubs with their palatability for goats when assessing an area for goat grazing.

The goats graze buckeye in the fall, scotch broom before it flowers and yellow thistle when it is in seed.

The seeds are rich in protein and energy.

“Know what goats will eat at what time of year,” she said.

Peischel was hired to graze her goats along an old river that had dried up and quit running because of the dense forage along the river. The goats chewed off the dense underbrush over a seven-year period, and the river once again started to run.

Margaret Berry of Evansburg, Alta., said she came to the conference wanting to know if she should have goats to eat the thistle in her cow pasture.

“It’s the first time I considered a goat market,” said Berry.

THORSBY, Alta. — The growth pattern of grass looks more like a profile of the mountains than the prairies.

It’s a grass manager’s job to use creative ways to fill in the valleys of this mountainous profile provide less expensive grazing throughout the summer, said a grazing specialist.

Woody Lane said grass doesn’t grow evenly throughout the year, and good grazers need to fill in the holes and valleys of the slow grass-growing period.

“Grazing is much less expensive than feeding stored forages,” Lane told a West-Central Forage Association sheep and goat grazing seminar.

“A few weeks here and a couple weeks there helps reduce costs.… What good is yield if it all comes in May.” Lane, who knows that what works for his farm in Oregon may not work for northern Alberta producers, suggested ideas that may work or may need to be adjusted for the Alberta climate.

In early spring before the grass starts to grow, Lane puts his livestock on fall-seeded crops such as annual Italian ryegrass, barley, triticale or oats. The Italian ryegrass has explosive growth in spring, packed with nutrition and highly palatable.

“Ryegrass is designed for grazing,” he said. “It’s designed to come back after spring grazing for multiple grazing.”

In mid-summer when some grass is not yet ready to be grazed, Lane puts his animals on warm season grasses such as sorghum and Sudan grass that grow well in hot weather.

“When the weather gets warm, the growth explodes,” said Lane, who advised Alberta farmers to plant a small acreage of warm season grass as a trial grazing project.

“This grass gets a surge in the middle of summer that could fill a hole,” he said.

Lane also suggested producers look at new varieties of forage hybrid, which are crossed between a turnip and rapeseed or turnip, kale and rapeseed. The annual forage is a good idea for flushing ewes. Animal eats the leaves rather than the bulbs, and it can be regrazed every month.

“The new varieties are a world away from old varieties. They come back faster and are the mainstay in the drier periods,” he said.

“It’s not perfect. It is a tool.”

Lane uses irrigation on pasture to ensure growth during the drier periods.

In fall, Lane suggested bale grazing, swath grazing, grazing sloughs of reed canary grass or renting pasture or harvested fields from neighbours.

NEONICOTINOID INSECTICIDES | FIELD TRIAL RESULTS

New study finds no neonic impact on bees

Ten canola fields in trial | Researchers found bee winter losses and honey production not affected by exposure

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A major Canadian study on neoncotinoids was released in late October with little pomp or circumstance.

Bee experts Cynthia Scott-Dupree of the University of Guelph and Chris Cutler of Dalhousie University concluded that canola grown from seed coated with a neonicotinoid insecticide does not pose a risk to honeybee colonies.

“Although various laboratory studies have reported sub-lethal effects in individual honeybees exposed to low doses of neonicotinoid insecticides, the results of the present study suggest that foraging on clothianidin seed-treated crops, under realistic conditions, poses low risk to honeybee colonies,” Cutler and ScottDupree wrote in a paper published in PeerJ, an online scientific journal.

Neonicotinoids are applied to almost of the corn and canola and some of the soybeans grown in North America. Numerous studies and media reports have linked the class of insecticides to bee deaths and colony losses in Canada, particularly in Ontario.

Two beekeepers in Ontario filed a class action suit in September on behalf of all beekeepers in the province, claiming $450 million in production losses because of neonicotinoids.

The study by Scott-Dupree and Cutler was conducted at 10 canola fields in Ontario in the summer of 2012. It confirms what they found in two previous field experiments on honeybees and clothianidin: clothianidin, a Bayer Crop Science neonicotinoid, has no significant impact on bee colony health under realistic field conditions.

Cutler and Scott-Dupree placed honeybee colonies in fields of canola g row n f ro m s e e d t re at e d w i t h clothianidin when the crop reached 25 percent bloom.

The bees remained there for 11 to 13 days and then were transported to a military base near Meaford, Ont., on a peninsula that extends into Lake Huron, to isolate the bees from neonicotinoids for the remainder of the summer.

After taking samples and crunching the data, the scientists found: • The honeybees were exposed to .5 to 1.9 parts per billion of clothianidin in pollen.

• The number of dead bees from colonies exposed to neonic-treated canola was similar to the control group of colonies that weren’t exposed to clothianidin.

• Colonies exposed to clothianidin produced the same amount of honey as the control.

• Exposure to clothianidin had no effect on the number of bees in the colony. The overwinter losses were the same for the treatment and control groups.

“The results are also in agreement with semi-field — field cage, Tier 2 — and field studies that have found that individual bees and colonies are not adversely impacted when foraging on neonicotinoid seed-treated crops,” the authors said.

The paper’s conclusions are the opposite of numerous and highly publicized studies on neonicotinoids.

Many scientists have said the chemical hampers bees’ ability to forage, hinders colony reproduction and has a detrimental impact on bee brain functions.

In an interview, Cutler said it’s difficult to compare laboratory work to field studies on bees.

“In the lab you have a high level of control and precision, but you have uncertainty as to how well the (pesticide) exposure reflects reality,” he said.

“In the field you have much less control and you have a lot more variability because you’re dealing with nature. But you have much better

exposure … and a lot more confidence in what the bees are being exposed to is real.”

Laboratory studies typically claim that bees were exposed to realistic field doses, but Cutler said lab scientists often apply pesticide doses based on a worst-case scenario.

“Even though they say they’re realistic, I would say they’re too high…. In reality for clothianidin, in canola it’s around two parts per billion for pollen, even less so in nectar,” he said.

“Some people have been doing things with bumblebees where they expose them to six to 10 parts per bil-

81

lion…. Yes, those concentrations have been detected in the field, but they’re certainly not common.”

Laboratory experiments on bees may have flaws, but so do field studies, said Chris Mullin, an entomologist who studies pesticides and pollinator health at Penn State.

“Unfortunately, the colony is so incredibly complex in regards as to how it interacts with chemicals in the natural system,” he said.

The 2012 study, funded by Bayer Crop Science, cost nearly $1 million and was one of the largest bee experiments in the world that year.

• One millilitre of water in an Olympic sized swimming pool is about one part per billion.

CFR 1251

NEW

from Highline Manufacturing Helps Cattle Farmers Reduce Feed Costs.

For more than 20 years Highline Manufacturing, based in Vonda, SK, has been designing and building bale processing equipment for North American cattle producers. The latest innovation from Highline is the CFR 1251 bale processor.

The 1251 Bale Pro , a dual-chamber bale processor, provides the flexibility to process two bales at once and blend them into a healthy ration. With winter feed costs accounting for as much as 36%* of total production costs, managing this variable can make or break the profitability of a cow calf operation. The ability to blend or mix off a certain percentage of straw or poorer quality hay along with high quality hay maximizes the efficiency of a winter feeding program and is critical in extending feed supplies on years when good hay is in short supply. ®

The aggression of the flail drum in each of the two bale chambers can be adjusted independently, allowing the operator to achieve the desired product mix. The 1251 can also be equipped with a feed chopper which creates a uniform blend of shorter cut lengths; increasing digestibility and improving rumen efficiency. Another popular option on the CFR 1251 is the mounted grain tank, which allows barley or other whole grain to be metered into the hay mixture. The grain is cracked or scarified when it passes through the chopper which eliminates the need for pre-processing.

When equipped with the grain tank and chopper, the CFR 1251 really is an all-purpose machine, allowing the producer to blend two bales of varying quality, insert metered whole grain, chop hay and put down bedding.

It provides similar results to a Vertical Mixer in many applications and is cheaper to operate with a lower purchase price.

www.highlinemfg.com Highline Manufacturing - the Company The philosophy at Highline Manufacturing is to produce livestock feeding equipment that is designed to meet the nutritional needs of the animal. This philosophy is similar to that of Highline’s parent company, Bourgault Industries, a world leading manufacturer of small grains airseeding equipment. Bourgault designs seeding equipment designed around the agronomic needs of the crop. Both companies understand that success lies in providing reliable, well-built equipment that contributes to the producer’s bottom line through increased productivity.

Beyond bale processing equipment, Highline also manufactures bale wagons, rock pickers and ditch mowers. Their products are sold across North America through a network of farm equipment dealers. * Source: An Economic Assessment of Feed Costs within the Cow/Calf Sector, Saskatchewan Forage Council, September 2011

Rail service targets ‘under review’

Analyst predicts warm spring, cool summer

Federal regulations | Farm group concerned minimum volume requirements could be lifted

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz last week backed away from a report claiming he said the government would not renew minimum volume requirements for railways moving grain when they expire Nov. 29.

In an interview Oct. 31, the minister said all options are on the table.

“I’ve never been that definitive,” he said of a Reuters story published earlier in the week. “I said everything is under review.”

The story quoted him as saying only “a complete failure by the railways to move grain,” evidenced by piles of grain at elevators and ships waiting at port, would result in an extension of the minimum.

That alarmed Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall, who said prairie grain shippers need certainty their product will move.

He said various organizations, companies and commodity groups all said the same thing during an Oct. 16 meeting with the Canadian Transportation Agency.

“Every group said, to a man, ‘Do not lift this because the railroads haven’t proven they can do this without pressure,’ ”Hall said.

Although this year’s crop is much

Federally mandated minimum volume requirements for railways are poised to expire Nov. 29. | FILE PHOTO smaller than last year’s record crop, there is still an estimated 15 million tonnes of carryover from 2013.

“Pretty soon we’re up to 70 million tonnes to move again,” Hall said.

“Can we depend on the railroads?”

Grain Growers of Canada executive member Art Enns said members are willing to wait and see what the final decision is.

They are uncomfortable with government intervention, he said, but can’t go through another backlog like last year.

The large crop and cold winter resulted in little grain movement last winter and billions in lost revenue.

The government responded with a cabinet order forcing the railways to move at least one million tonnes per week If the terms of the order in council are lifted, GGC wants a contingency plan in place immediately, Enns said.

While grain is moving, there are still pockets, including the Peace River area and northeastern Saskatchewan, where producers report slow movement.

Enns said producers are frustrated because the numbers the railways report to the ministers are not publicly available.

“This fall there were all kinds of

numbers floating out there,” he said.

“Are the railways really meeting their mandate? We don’t really have accurate information on that.”

More open, accurate information is something the Prairie Oat Growers Association, which Enns heads as president, wants from the on-going CTA review.

Oat growers also believe they weren’t necessarily well served by the government’s response to the problem because it addressed only east-west movement and most of their markets are to the south.

Other shippers have been pressuring Ottawa, saying they aren’t getting good service because the railways have been forced to move grain.

Ritz said there is time to assess the situation and make a good decision before Nov. 29.

“Just strictly from the grain side the railways have told us they can do 5,000 cars a week without interfering with other commodities,” he said.

“We’ll continue to hold them to that but also we want to see a lot better logistics.”

Last weekend transport minister Lisa Raitt announced she would have surgery this week to remove a solid growth on her ovaries. In a statement issued by her office Nov. 2, she said she intended to return to her duties as soon as possible.

Prairie farmers should enjoy a good winter and spring and have a good if cool summer, says U.S. weather system analyst Scott Yuknis.

However, the Prairies and central United States face a high risk of “harsh drought” in the coming years that may last multiple years at a time.

“I’m concerned that the growing areas of the U.S. up into Canada are going to go dry for two or three years (a few years from now),” Yuknis told the Cereals North America conference Oct. 30.

“This is not one season dry then one season wet.… You get lockedin.… Once it begins, it lasts.”

Yuknis said a complex group of factors set up the medium range forecast for crippling and lingering drought to hit somewhere in North America, similar to the present drought in California.

“I’m very confident that this climate pattern is going to generate harsh drought,” he said.

“That’s coming. This type of pattern is going to produce that.”

The period of risk should begin in 2016, Yuknis said.

Fortunately for farmers, the next growing season looks relatively benign.

Hagie aims high in sprayer equipment When is high not high enough? | When new corn varieties produce taller stalks, axles need to follow

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — The term “high clearance sprayer” takes on new meaning when these machines fight to stay atop corn hybrids that have recently gone from six to eight feet tall.

Hagie is one of the companies trying to keep up with the higher crops.

Its new STS12i sprayer, which it debuted at the Big Iron show in Fargo earlier this year, now has 73 inches free clearance.

“We came out with what we call our tall corn package a while ago,” said company rep Eddy Roesch.

“We shell the entire under belly of the sprayer with panels to let the tops of the plants flow past without snagging anything.”

The aluminum spinner hubcaps installed on the display sprayer were reminiscent of the “moonie” hubcaps installed on Bonneville Salt Flat hot rods.

Roesch said the idea is much the same. Smooth lines make all the difference, whether you want smooth air flow at 200 m.p.h. or smooth biomass flow at 15 m.p.h.

“That’s all part of the tall corn pack-

age. The aluminum spinner hubcaps guide the corn plant past the wheels with the least amount disturbance or damage to the foliage or tassles,” he said.

“The (nitrogen tool bar) is another option we’ve added recently to address tall corn. Dribbling N between your corn rows is not the best way of applying in-crop nitrogen.

Dribbling works, but actually putting

EDDY ROESCH HAGIE

nitrogen down into the soil works better. More than 90 percent of the nitrogen needs come after the corn is knee high. The taller the corn, the harder it is to make that application.

So our NTB (nitrogen tool bar) uses coulters with high pressure injection to place your nitrogen into the soil between the rows.”

Roesch said the small case letter “i” on the STS12i designates product injection.

The new sprayer carries 240 U.S. gallons of injectable chemical on the machine. There are two 60 gallon and one 120 gallon product tanks.

Each of the three product lines is independent of the others, with its own injection pump and metering system.

This eliminates the need to pre-mix large volumes of chemical in the main 1,200 gallon water tank. The main water tank holds only clean, uncontaminated water.

“You can switch products pretty easily going from one field to the next,” he said.

“You never have any leftover mixed product when you finish a field, and you don’t waste time rinsing changing from one crop to the next.”

Spray efficacy is enhanced by the standard equipment droplet monitoring system, which gives the operator the ideal droplet size based on spray tip size and pressure.

Th e ba sic STS1 2 cha ssis wa s upgraded this year, but there are still a number of changes. The 2015 sprayer is powered by the Cummins 6.7 litre Tier 4 final, putting out 300 horsepower. The power now runs through a new infinitely variable drive system.

“You not only choose how fast you want to spray, but you also choose how many shift points you want to get up to that speed. If you want 20 shift points to reach 15 m.p.h., that’s what the machine gives you.”

The sprayer is hydrostatic allwheel-drive with traction control.

The cooling system now pulls clean air from the top side of the machine, so plugging is less of a problem. The standard equipment hydraulic drive fan is reversible to clean out the air path and improves fuel economy by as much as 15 percent, according to Hagie.

Fresh air for the operator is also essential. The new Hagie cab comes standard on all models with the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE »

STS16 prototype The STS16 prototype for 2015 that Hagie brought to Big Iron uses the same frame as last year but with a Cummins 365 h.p. engine, the new Hagie cab and changes to the hood and tank placement.

The 1,600 gallon sprayer has an allnew drive system, keeps the perfect 50-50 front-rear weight distribution full or empty and has been been fitted with giant brakes at the front.

“We’ve installed huge disc brakes on the front wheels for excellent stopping. We’ve got big rotors with two callipers on each rotor. These are the squeeze type callipers with a piston on each side rather than the slider type,” he said.

“There’s no hesitation or confusion in an emergency stop because it’s all tied into the operator’s hydro handle in the cab. The (deceleration) pedal helps you boost headland turning efficiency. They haul the sprayer down in a big hurry.”

The 800 metric tires on the option list give Hagie a much heavier leg design as standard equipment as well as a severe duty suspension option. The severe duty suspension uses a solid inner leg and thicker wall out leg, along with higher load rated hubs.

Roesch said the 800 series tires and the rubber track option, which is new for 2015, are the two main reasons for heftier legs.

Rubber tracks are high on the option list for farmers with soil compaction issues. The downside of rubber tracks is that maximum ground speed in the field is limited to 14 m.p.h., while road speed is limited to 20 m.p.h.

The optional ground-level sidefill with hypro bowl reduces fill time with its 300 U.S. g.p.m. capacity.

Hagie says an empty sprayer with 50-50 distribution exerts a down force of 25 pounds per square inch with 380 tires, while the sprayer exerts a force of only 9.8 p.s.i. with metric 800 tires.

However, the same sprayer with 15-inch-wide rubber track puts down only 8.4 p.s.i.

In comparison, a human boot print exerts five p.s.i. Hagie says compaction caused by as little as four p.s.i. sacrifices yield.

Growers need to start using best management practices to stop the spread of the pulse industry’s version of clubroot, says an expert.

Aphanomyces, a highly virulent root rot disease that attacks annual and perennial legumes, is making its way across the Prairies.

The pathogen, which was first confirmed in Saskatchewan in 2012, was discovered in seven fields across five counties in Alberta this year.

Beth Markert, Bayer CropScience’s SeedGrowth specialist for southern Alberta, said aphanomyces is reminiscent of clubroot.

“It has a lot of similarities.… You can kind of expect to see the same thing,” she said.

It is a serious soil-borne disease that targets peas, beans, lentils and alfalfa and has caused 30 to 50 percent yield loss in Saskatchewan fields.

Primary symptoms are found on the plant roots , which appear grey and water-soaked at first and then turn honey or blackish brown.

The pathogen chokes off the root system, reducing uptake of nutrients and water.

Secondary symptoms include yellowing of the cotyledon and death or discolouration of leaf tissue and wilting foliage.

Farmers mistakenly believe aphanomyces causes death and decay of seedlings. What it does is stunt the growth of seedlings, rendering them less competitive against weeds, bugs and disease.

It also acts as a conduit for other diseases because it can penetrate any tissue cell in the plant.

“When the infection starts, it makes it a lot easier for other diseases such as fusarium or rhizoctonia to enter the plants,” said Markert.

“Lots of people are mistaking aphanomyces for fusarium, simply because fusarium will follow aphanomyces in afterwards.”

She advised farmers to clean off equipment when moving it from a field suspected to contain the root rot pathogen.

“I can see in the near future that the same tactics will have to be put in place for aphanomyces as there is

for clubroot,” she said.

Pulse growers who want to avoid the water-based mould should select sandy fields that drain well rather than clay soil that is thick and compact and tends to hold moisture.

Rolling peas compacts the soil, creating a nice home for the pathogen. Growers who want to roll their peas should do it when the soil is dry and cooler than 25 C. Pulse growers who suspect they have aphanomyces should consider extending their rotations because the disease can live in the soil for up to 12 years. Switching between pulses is also advised, since each one is affected by a different strain.

Growers are advised to use healthy seed with high germination rates and have their soil tested.

There are no seed treatments for aphanomyces, but growers who suspect it is present in their fields should apply seed treatments to combat fusarium and rhizoctonia.

Growers should avoid applying pesticides to a crop infected with aphanomyces because it will further stress an already stressed crop.

Ecologist wants end to ‘violent tools’ that poison biodiversity ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

W

e need a new food system, according to scientist Vandana Shiva, an agro-ecology and food democracy champion.

We are at a crucial time when we must act to save our planet and our food system.

Shiva is highly critical of large-scale

industrial agriculture, accusing it of causing: • Seventy-five percent of the ecological devastation on the planet.

• Forty percent of the greenhouse gases.

• Loss of 90 percent of crop diversity.

• Investing 10 units of energy for every unit of food produced.

Is this sorry record the price we must pay to “feed the world,” as industrial agriculture often claims to be doing?

No. Shiva cites United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization statistics that 70 percent of the world’s food is produced on small agro-ecological farms and that only 30 percent is from industrial agriculture.

“All that industrial agriculture has done is destroy nature’s gifts of soil and biodiversity, water, even the air and the climate,” she says.

Shiva points out that the inputs of industrial agriculture are repurposed war technology.

The “fertilizer bombs” are a return to their original intent, when Agent Orange was a mixture of herbicides that decimated people as well as vegetation.

“The first reason we need a new food system is that we need a food system without poisons,” she says.

The use of poisons, including synthetic fertilizers, leads to monocultures, which alter the entire ecology of the system. System effects are

VANDANA SHIVA AGRO-ECOLOGIST

rarely considered.

Shiva agrees that the Green Revolution increased yields per acre but that this was measured only as yield of a single commodity, grown in monoculture, and only as it left the farm.

We’re used to other varieties bowing down to us

It did not include the loss of other crops that had previously grown as companion crops, and did not include the loss of nutrient rich weeds.

As well, it did not include the loss of straw that would be recycled on the farm as a valuable nutrient.

“Another reason why we need another food system is we can’t afford this blindness to the gift of abundance that nature gives us, the gift of biodiversity,” she says.

“It has already cost us too much. We now need to work with biodiversity to produce more food and nutrition while using less of the Earth’s resources, a smaller footprint and a higher output. The industrial system has a huge footprint and a negative output.”

The monoculture concept has been taken even further, in what Shiva refers to as “the monoculture of the mind.”

Much of the focus in agriculture is on the four or five products that are profitable for companies, those on which they can claim royalties and hold patents.

Monopoly plays a similar role to monoculture. Only five companies control the seed, and they exert undue control of the system.

Shiva says we also need a new food system because industrial fertilization is a science of ignorance.

“In relationship to the living soil, it has zero knowledge.”

The science of pest control has “no idea what it does to other species, to human beings,” she says. “(The) science is a chemistry of producing poisons, not a science of ecology of pest control. So we have very violent tools from another domain with ignorance of how the food system works.”

The insult to science is not only that chemistry is used when ecology is needed. The threat to science is what Shiva refers to as “knowledge terrorism,” where scientists are silenced and peer-reviewed scientific papers are retracted when the findings do not meet the corporate agenda.

Shiva calls on us to “create instruments of democracy, diversity, resilience.… Food is the place, seed is the place, where we have to reclaim our democracy and reclaim the totalitarianism that is being put into place.

We have a short time to reclaim our bread and our freedom or we will have neither bread or freedom.”

Shiva’s words will undoubtedly annoy those invested in the industrial system. They are not words of appeasement, but calls to action.

It may be hard to hear this call from deep within the industrial paradigm, but it is also hard to draw any other conclusions based on the facts Shiva puts forward.

While her sources are uncited, as a scientist I am willing to vouch their existence. We need to nurture the soil biology, stop our attack on biodiversity and come to understand the ecology of the systems we work within.

MONEY LENDING | FEEDER ASSOCIATIONS

STOCKADE ROUNDUP | RESULTS

‘User friendly’ loans tapped out

Competition tough in Lloyd

Money allocated | Alberta feeder associations have reached the $55 million cap

BY ROBYN TOCKER

BY MARY MACARTHUR

The results of the supreme show at this year’s Stockade Roundup in Lloydminster ushered in a first for one of the winners.

MJT Cattle Company from Edgerton, Alta., took the supreme champion bull title with a horned Hereford shown by Kurt Trefiak.

It was the first supreme win for Trefiak but the same bull won as a calf in its breed at last year’s show.

“At a show like this, with the calibre of cattle that are here, it’s a good feeling,” said Trefiak after the show.

“There are lots of good bulls and heifers that could have won.”

Greenwood Limousin, run by the Payne family of Loydminster, Sask., won the supreme female title. Greenwood has also won titles at this show in 2009 and 2012.

“I didn’t think it would be me in the end. I never want to count my chickens before they hatch,” said Jayden Payne about this year’s title.

Both supreme winners are longtime participants in the have attended the Stockade Roundup for years.

Trefiak started MJT Cattle Company 20 years ago, while the Payne family has farmed the homestead since Jayden’s great-great grandparents founded it 111 years ago.

“Our family has been in purebred cattle for just about 40 years,” Payne said.

Trefiak said competition was tough Oct. 31 and it’s especially tough for Herefords to win a show at this level.

“It’s taken a lot of years to build a bull that looks like he does. It’s a neat thing.”

He has been coming to the Stockade Roundup for 25 years and the competition is always fierce.

“When you come here, you’d better bring your top cattle because it’s going to be a tough competition in all the breeds.”

The supreme finalists were judged

by Marlin LeBlanc.

The male and female winners of the supreme will both be heading to Canadian Western Agribition in Regina Nov. 24-29 to compete with winners from other Western Canadian cattle shows. The Paynes also plan to attend Farmfair International in Edmonton Nov. 4-9.

A recent doubling of feeder association loan limits to $1 million a person and a doubling of calf prices will likely leave some producers unable to borrow money through the popular lending program.

Producers who haven’t bought their calves through the feeding program will have to find different and more expensive financing for cattle, said the chair of the provincial Feeder Associations of Alberta.

“They’re out of luck. They’re on their own to see financing elsewhere,” said George L’Heureax.

The $55 million in governmentbacked cash to buy feeder calves has been allocated to all 80 feeder associations across the province.

“We’ve never reached that cap before,” said L’Heureax.

Each association is allocated a specific amount of the $55 million.

No more money is available once they have loaned their money to members.

L’Heureax said the provincial association lobbied the government to raise the loan from $55 million to $80 million this fall because it knew calf prices were set to rise and that the individual loan limit had increased.

“We’re hoping for an answer as soon as possible.”

Cattle producers traditionally borrow money from feeder associations to feed 20 percent of the calf crop born in the province. Without the ability to borrow money easily, L’Heureax is worried Americans will buy the feeder calves and truck them to U.S. feedlots.

“If we can’t buy them here, they will go across the line. It will put the feedlots and the packing plants in jeopardy if we can’t retain the cattle here.”

Feeder association loans aren’t the only way to borrow money, but they are the most “user friendly,” he said.

Unlike banks, which require a 20 to 25 percent down payment to buy calves, feeder associations require only five percent down. The feeder

Leonard Schmidt, chair of the Barrhead Feeder Association, said there is a lot of demand for his association’s allocation of funds from members.

“Locally, quite a few guys have gone to the limit,” said Schmidt.

“It’s a bit scary for most of us here.”

Some associations insist that producers who borrow money must insure all or part of their cattle purchases through the Cattle Price Insurance Program.

ANNUAL CONVENTION Building Blocks for Success

“We insist they at least insure the price of the animal,” said Schmidt.

Daryl Skaret, supervisor with the Battle River Feeders Association, believes his association’s $12 million allocation will be snapped up quickly.

“I think we’re going to be way short,” he said. “Once it’s gone, producers are not able to access more money.”

Lyle Miller of the Acme Feeder Association said his association would likely have more requests to borrow money than money to lend.

“Associations are running out of

operating line for its members,” said Miller. “We will be tapped out.”

Miller estimates that 40 percent of his members won’t be able to borrow money.

“It will take some people out of the market.”

Acme is working with neighbouring feeder associations to access some of their unused money.

Rod Morrison, chair of the Calgary Central Feeder Association Co-op, said his association traditionally loans money for grass cattle in spring.

“I can’t see it being an issue with the association.”

Well made boots: the kind that last COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

B

eing a cowboy, I always remember Dad as a cowboy hat and cowboy boots kind of a

guy.

But being a North Dakotan, I remember him wearing a corduroy winter cap with ear flaps as often as his cowboy hat, and whether for comfort or practicality, he also wore lace-up leather work boots as often as he pulled on cowboy boots.

I remember the laces because one of my jobs as a little fella was to unlace his boots, loosen them up and pull them off after a long day. I find myself asking my kids to do the same thing. For some reason, little kids like to do it and us dads get a kick out of watching them tug at those shoes until they pop off.

Dad didn’t wear those lace-up boots for fashion; he wore them for working.

He’d wear them out and get another pair, and another. In our family, working hard enough to wear out your work boots was a source of pride. No plaques on the wall for a

“hardest worker award;” just a collection of worn-out boots.

I have worn through plenty of work boots myself. I do try to find lace-up work boots that have a little bit of heel on them and not too blunt of a toe so that they can get into a saddle stirrup and stay in the stirrup when I’m riding.

When cattle prices started getting better a few years ago, I decided I was going to upgrade my choice in work boots and see if there was a difference.

I’d heard about the Hathorn and White’s boots made in Spokane, Washington, and I found a store selling Hathorns here in North Dakota.

They’re tough boots tested by northwest loggers, farmers, ranchers and railroaders from a company with pre-Civil War roots.

I’ve always bought whatever standard size was on the shelf and seemed to fit, usually an 11D, 11 1/2D, or 12D, depending on the shoe.

The store with the Hathorns measured my foot every which way and told me I was a 12AAA. Who knew?

They put me in a pair of solid leather, no synthetics, 12AAA Hathorn lace- up ranch packer boots. I wore them every day, they felt good and they lasted. Of course, nothing lasts forever, and eventually they started to show some severe wear.

One of the selling points when I bought the boots was that they were

all leather, and thus rebuildable. I sent them off to Spokane for a rebuild.

The shop called me up and said I’d done such a good job of wearing them out that there wasn’t much to save. They could save the tops, but that was about it.

I asked if that was much less than a whole new pair of boots. It was less: not a lot but just enough for me to give them the go ahead on the rebuild.

It was kind of like some of the cars we’ve taken to the shop. By the time the mechanic got done replacing everything that needed replacing, I said, “maybe it’d be simpler if I just unscrewed the gas cap and had you drive a new car underneath it to screw it on to.”

Similarly, they lifted the tops off my old boots and drove a new pair of boots underneath. They still fit just right, they came from Spokane instead of the other side of the globe and they’re made from the hides of the cattle we raise.

Most likely not the actual hides from the same cattle that walked our ranch, but you know what I mean.

They’re real.

And our work is real, so it’s a good match. I’m looking forward to the years of comfort and wear ahead.

FORAGES, CROPS | COMPENSATION

Producers often don’t report wildlife damage Mitigating losses | Eighty-eight percent of those surveyed say wildlife affects their livestock operation

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Wildlife affects beef production, but a new study shows more than 60 percent of cattle producers never report damage to crops or livestock resulting from that wildlife.

It doesn’t surprise researchers but is an issue for producers who think more compensation or better programs to deal with wildlife should be made available.

The non-profit Miistakis Institute conducted the study, Cost of Coexistence, in co-operation with Alberta Beef Producers. It was designed to tally producer costs related to wildlife interaction and damage.

Early results show 88 percent of the 672 Alberta cattle producers surveyed said wildlife have affected their livestock operations and half said the economic impact is too great to bear.

Study results are expected to give ABP reliable data with which to lobby government for changes to compensation and damage mitigation programs.

“What it does is allows us to talk to government with one voice,” said ABP Zone 2 director Darren Bevans.

“Please report your losses, whether you think you’re going to get paid or not. If we don’t report, Fish and Wild-

sented preliminary findings Oct. 27 to producers in ABP’s Zone 2, said there were relatively few surprises except for the number of producers who aren’t aware of the compensation and mitigation programs that are available.

“Compensation programs aren’t being used to the extent of the problem,” Good said in an interview after her presentation.

“Producers aren’t happy, which means wildlife aren’t going to be happy either.”

Figures showed nearly 80 percent of producers don’t report losses from deer, elk and other ungulates, and more than 60 percent don’t report losses from large carnivores.

Most producers said they didn’t report damage to forage and crops from deer, elk and moose because the potential return wasn’t worth it for the time required.

Others said they found it difficult to measure the amount of damage or they disliked dealing with government.

Many producers said they didn’t report damage from coyotes, cougars, bears and other large carnivores because the burden of proof was too

high. Compensation is provided only if there is definitive proof the livestock was killed by a large carnivore, which is not always possible.

Damage from birds was also part of the survey, with a high number of producers reporting livestock issues with ravens. The large birds eat the eyes, tongues and rectums of newborn calves.

Survey results found that 75 percent of producers felt it important to know the health of the wild carnivore population, and 83 agreed it was important regarding ungulates.

Eighty-eight percent agreed wildlife affects landowners, and 81 percent agreed that problem wildlife must be removed when costs from their damage become too high.

Eighty percent said wildlife is an important part of nature that comes with land ownership, and 71 percent said the responsibility of ensuring healthy wildlife is borne unevenly by agricultural landowners.

Wildlife impact and type vary by region, but Good said the results were averaged across the province.

Figures show deer, elk and other ungulates most affect producers in terms of standing and stored feed.

Large carnivores were the next biggest issue, followed by birds.

The greatest concern was economic loss, followed by livestock safety, time required to deal with problems, potential disease transmission and human safety.

Good said survey results will be discussed at zone meetings and with ABP’s wildlife committee. It may result in specific recommendations, which will be discussed at ABP’s annual meeting in December.

Producers want greater compensation

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — Wildlife damage to crops and livestock were the impetus for several resolutions at the Zone 2 meeting of Alberta Beef Producers Oct. 27.

Producers said ABP should lobby the provincial government to extend compensation programs to include livestock harmed by large carnivores, rather than providing it only for confirmed kills.

They also agreed the government

should be lobbied to extend insurance programs to cover wildlife damage to fields intended for swath grazing and for stockpiled forage, including pasture intended for livestock grazing.

As well, delegates approved a resolution that called on ABP to lobby government to provide compensation for horses killed by predators.

Resolutions passed at the zone level may be presented at the ABP annual meeting in December. Meetings in ABP’s nine zones were scheduled Oct. 27 to Nov. 5.

VIRUS | ANIMAL HOST

Role of animals in Ebola transmission still under-studied ANIMAL HEALTH Society has re-learned the lesson that wildlife and human health and diseases overlap, but we have not yet sufficiently linked strategies to keep wildlife healthy while sustaining human well-being.

DR. CRAIG STEPHEN, CANADIAN WILDLIFE HEALTH COOPERATIVE

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

E

bola hemorrhagic fever continues to rage in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone with spillover into others.

The complete ramifications of this tragic loss of human lives have yet to be quantified, including orphaned children, economic damage and civil instability.

Many unanswered questions remain with regard to the role animals play as hosts and transmitters of the Ebola virus.

Like many diseases, the ecology of Ebola is complex with many factors contributing to outbreaks. The source of the virus is consistently attributed to wildlife, although the exact species is unknown.

Fruit bats may be the reservoir host, although rodents are another possibility. From these pathogen reservoirs, the virus spills over into other mammals, including monkeys, chimpanzees, gorillas and humans.

Infected wildlife, including bats and primates, can be harvested for the bush meat trade. Hunters contract the Ebola virus when processing harvested animals, sparking an outbreak.

Once the virus enters a human host, it can spread to other people through direct contact with infected blood and secretions.

However, Dr. Craig Stephen, executive director of the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative, said blaming wildlife isn’t the answer.

“Access to care, social customs, poverty, human movement and changes in land use play a much bigger role in the growth and spread of the Ebola epidemic than do wildlife.

We need to deal with these problems, too.”

Humans aren’t the only victims of Ebola. Several critically endangered wildlife species are also susceptible to the virus, including lowland gorillas and chimpanzees. Many primates that contract the virus ultimately die.

Some researchers have suggested that great apes should be regularly monitored for Ebola because it may be an early warning for future outbreaks.

Ebola in great apes can devastate already critically endangered populations.

Along with poaching and habitat loss, Ebola outbreaks may push our closest wildlife relatives to extinction.

Some criticize efforts to save great apes from Ebola as a wasteful use of resources, but others recognize the

interconnectedness of our existence.

“Basically, separating animal health and our health is the surest way to a bad outcome,” Stephen said.

“Indeed, the trend of seeing people and animal health as separate things has been the source of much of our ignorance on diseases like Ebola and how to prevent them.”

There is a rudimentary under-

standing of Ebola virus in wildlife, but shockingly little is known about infections in domestic animals.

The most informative study to date was done in 2002 during the Ebola outbreak in Gabon.

Researchers tested blood of freeranging dogs, which had ample opportunity to consume infected dead wildlife. They found that 32

percent had evidence of infection, but no dogs were sick with the disease. Their ability to spread the virus is unknown.

The issue of pets must be handled delicately, as was seen when a Spanish Ebola patient’s dog was euthanized as a precaution.

Worldwide public outrage followed and likely influenced the decision to quarantine the dog of the American nurse, Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola in Texas. News that the dog did not carry the virus provides important preliminary information about the risk posed by pets.

Ebola virus can also infect pigs, but the role pigs play in outbreaks and the risk to people is unknown.

There are many unanswered questions about the role of animals in Ebola.

“Society has re-learned the lesson that wildlife and human health and diseases overlap, but we have not yet sufficiently linked strategies to keep wildlife healthy while sustaining human well-being,” Stephen said.

“The current outbreak may provide the political will to invest in the necessary research to figure out some of these strategies.”

Hopefully, this knowledge will prevent and mitigate future epidemics.

Legumex acquires new partner Now working with Scoular | Business arrangement concerns Legumex’s canola plant in Washington

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Legumex Walker has a new grain industry partner for its canola and special crops businesses.

The company terminated its relationship with CHS Inc. and entered into a new arrangement with the Scoular Co., which will now buy all the seed, sell all the meal and assist with oil sales at its Pacific Coast Canola crushing facility in Warden, Washington.

“CHS was a great partner to get Pacific Coast Canola launched and up and running,” said Legumex Walker president Joel Horn.

However, the company has decided to focus on sourcing and selling oil and meal made from non-genetically modified canola and non-GM high oleic canola, and Scoular was a better fit.

In addition, Scoular has invested $16.5 million in the special crops side of the business in the form of a loan that can later be converted into shares of the company at $6.75 per share.

It would give Scoular, a U.S. grain company with $6 billion in annual sales, a 13 percent ownership stake in Legumex Walker at today’s share value.

“I like the deal because it helps both parts of our business evolve further down our strategic plan,” said Horn.

Scoular has a significant presence in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where Legumex’s canola plant is located.

• Annual revenue: US$6.2 billion • Grain handling facilities: 72 • 54th largest privately owned corporation in the U.S. on Forbe Magazine ranking

The two companies will work together to convince growers in the area to increase non-GM canola production.

Production at Pacific Coast Canola has been constrained by poor seed supply because of lingering problems with rail logistics. The plant operated at 78 percent of capacity in the third quarter of this year.

The goal is to boost operating capacity beyond 90 percent, and Horn believes Scoular can help through its extensive logistics network and its longstanding relationship with growers in the Pacific Northwest.

CHS brought in train loads of canola from the northern United States and Canada but left local procurement to Pacific Coast Canola, which was an unfamiliar face for area growers.

“With the Scoular arrangement, we’ll see those acres increase even faster because Scoular is on the ground with a lot of people, a lot of assets, a lot of relationships,” said Horn.

He said expanding the supply of locally grown canola will be one of the biggest factors in increasing future earnings for the company.

Todd McQueen, senior vice-president of Scoular, said the company will still need plenty of canola from outside the Pacific Northwest.

“We do see a fair amount of that sourcing out of Canada,” he said.

The partnership in the canola plant allows Scoular to participate in the oilseed processing business without owning assets.

It has an extensive elevator and merchandizing network and other grain industry assets, but it isn’t big into owning processing plants.

“We have chosen not to do that,” McQueen said. “In some ways we feel we can serve our customers better if we’re not competing with them in those markets.”

The company likes the specialty canola approach at Pacific Coast Canola, with its focus on non-GM and high oleic oils.

“We do have a group of people

(where) that’s all they do is trade identity preserved commodities,” he said.

Scoular also has an extensive network of canola meal customers in the Pacific Northwest and recently invested in a feed blending facility in Jerome, Idaho.

“This canola meal will feed nicely into that investment,” said McQueen.

Horn expects the partnership to expand overseas opportunities for canola meal sales, which will make meal revenues more stable.

Meal sales struggled during the third quarter because of an oversupply of distiller’s grain and a bumper U.S. soybean crop. Other markets will open up with Scoular at the helm.

“They’ve just got good marketing arms to be able to move that meal further afield. They can sell it into Asia,” he said.

“They’re really good at moving meal, and they really understand the quality of our high fat canola meal.”

Horn was vague about how Scoular’s $16.5 million investment will be spent.

“We’re actively working on projects and we’re going to have some exciting news for you over the next several quarters,” he said.

The projects will create new specialty products for health conscious consumers.

Horn was asked if that involves fractionating pulse crops into ingredients that can be used in a variety of food products.

“For you to make that assumption would make a lot of sense,” he said.

FARM ENTERPRISES | GROWTH FACTORS

The six dimensions of enterprising farm families MANAGING THE FARM

BOB TOSH, Bsc., PAg

I

have previously written about farm owners moving away from a managerial and operational mind set to one of a strategic investor and entrepreneur.

The original idea came from an article by Tim Habbershon and Joseph Pistrui, Enterprising Families Domain: Family-Influenced Ownership Groups in Pursuit of Transgenerational Wealth, which hypothesized that wealth creation across generations required a shift in mind set from traditional family business thinking toward the “enterprising families domain.”

The enterprising families domain could be defined as one that “favours growth and leads organizations to investigate opportunities when expansion is neither pressing nor particularly obvious.”

Clearly, it can be difficult to apply this thinking to farm families where the farm is the primary legacy asset and may not be easily abandoned.

However, I think there is merit in applying some of this thinking to help farm families overcome the challenges of continuity planning.

Michael McGrann from Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, along with Habbershon and Pestrui, also developed the idea of six dimensions of enterprising families.

Many farm families may struggle to embrace the concepts of the enterprising families domain, but they could still benefit from applying these six dimensions to their own situations: leadership, relationship, performance, vision, strategy and governance.

• Leadership: Farm families often spend little or no time developing the next generation of leaders. Most rely on gender and birth order to decide who will manage the business in the future. This is a poor way to select a successor, especially if the current owners are relying on the farm’s performance to fund their retirement. Developing leadership skills through internal and external coaching is critical, regardless of who is chosen.

• Relationship: Many farm families fail to develop good communication and decisionmaking processes, which can lead to long-term stress within the family. A family-owned business requires “relationship capital” if it is to progress. Relationship capital is the sum of all relationships of people within an organization.

Those linkages have value, making the whole greater than the individuals. Good communication processes are needed to develop relationship capital.

• Performance: Is the farm business performing at the highest level? Can it tap into the competitive advantage that a strong family has to offer? This is a key component to any farm’s future success.

• Vision: Does your family have a
