The sevenyear rich Trade deal worth $1B | Mystery company inks deal to ship canola oil to China

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The national voice for Canada’s canola industry knows nothing about a company that signed a $1 billion deal to ship Canadian canola oil to China.

Prime minister Stephen Harper and federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz recently returned from a trade mission to China, where they witnessed LeMine Investment Group sign an agreement to ship $1 billion of canola oil to China over the next seven years.

Seed with off-patent traits needs rules: CPTA Buyer beware | Agency says few protections in place to ensure herbicide-resistant traits are present

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Herbicide-resistant seed traits that have recently come off patent are now being sold as common seed in Canada.

Lorne Hadley, executive director of the Canadian Plant Technology Agency (CPTA), says a small number of common seed vendors are selling herbicide resistant soybean and

canola seed that contains off-patent traits such as Clearfield technology and first generation Roundup Ready technology known as Roundup Ready 1.

The patents that were in place recently expired in Canada, meaning the technologies are now in the public domain and can be used freely, as long as the trait and the seed containing it were acquired legally.

“At this time, the two traits that

we’ve come across are the Roundup Ready 1 trait and the Clearfield trait in canola,” Hadley said.

“That’s not to say that there aren’t others out there, but those are the two that we’re most concerned about.”

The sale of common seed that contains “off-patent traits” is not illegal in Canada, but Hadley said it is an area of concern to the CPTA. Although farmers can now buy herbicide-resistant seed from com-

mon seed vendors, the CPTA would like to see stricter rules to regulate such sales.

Hadley said sellers of “traited” common seed are not required to test the seed to ensure herbicide resistance.

They are required, upon request from the buyer, to provide test results confirming germination and purity.

LeMine is an Ontario condominium developer that appears to have come out of nowhere to become one of the largest suppliers of Canadian canola oil to the second largest buyer of the product behind the United States.

“I don’t know anything about this company or this specific transaction,” said Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada.

She said the council doesn’t get involved in commercial transactions, but it seems odd that the national voice for the canola industry has never heard of a company that will be exporting such an amount of oil.

“Just because we’re not aware of somebody’s involvement doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a strange deal, but I don’t know who they are,” said Miller.

To put the deal in perspective, Canada’s entire canola oil export program to China last year was 885,180 tonnes, worth $1.06 billion.

“China is one of our most important customers and this agreement ensures that they will continue to be a very promising and consistent market,” said Miller.

LeMine was contacted for this story but the company’s senior executives were in China and unable to comment.

The company intends to host a news conference in Toronto in early December to discuss the deal.

LeMine provided a translated version of a Chinese news release about the deal. It was scant on details but said the deal is between LeMine and Guizhou Fengguan Group.

The Canadian canola oil will be sold through Guizhou Fengguan Group’s 416 Walmart supermarkets and 746 Fengguan Home Shops in China.

»

Miller was also excited about the establishment of the China-Canada Economic and Financial Strategic Dialogue, which will deepen trade and investment between the two countries.

“This is a helpful step towards increased economic co-operation that could facilitate better market access for Canadian canola,” she said.

Miller said it is nice to have a regular forum involving senior government officials where the canola industry can raise ongoing market access and trade policy issues, such as China’s modernization of its food and feed safety regulations and its certification of Canadian processing plants and products.

In the meantime, Canadian canola and other oil could be facing market access issues in India.

Reuters is reporting that India’s food ministry wants to double the import tax on crude edible oils to five percent and boost the tax on refined oils to 15 percent from 10 percent.

The ministry is waiting for feedback on the proposal from other ministries before sending it to cabinet for approval.

“If that is something that is being considered actively in India, then it’s something we would want to talk with our government about and try to make changes there,” said Miller.

India is not a big buyer of Canadian canola oil, but the council thinks it could become one.

India is the world’s largest importer of vegetable oil, mostly palm, soybean and sunflower oil. However, the council believes there will be a growing market for healthier oil because of the rapidly expanding middle class and the high rates of coronary disease.

SEED TRAITS | FROM PAGE ONE

Rules needed for seed traits However, until regulations are put in place requiring common seed sellers to prove the presence of a trait, farmers who buy the seed will have nothing protecting them from unscrupulous sellers.

CPTA is also concerned that some vendors might engage in illegal sales of common seed that contains similar traits still under patent, Hadley said.

For example, it would be difficult without mandatory testing to differentiate between seed that contains Roundup Ready 1 technology and seed that contains second generation Roundup Ready technology, which is still under patent.

Last week, members of the Canadian Seed Trade Association passed a motion in Montreal encouraging CSTA’s board of directors to lobby Ottawa for the inclusion of mandatory off-patent trait testing provisions that could be applied to common seed sales.

“We have a system now where the first generation of patented traits are coming off patent, so those traits are now a public good, they are there for anybody to use,” Hadley said.

“The problem is that at present, the regulations that we have do not require vendors to do any testing or to confirm that the trait is actually present.”

The CPTA is currently investigating a small number of vendors to ensure that their sales conform to existing regulatory standards.

CPTA was formed in 1997 to curtail the illegal sale of protected seed varieties through monitoring, enforcement and education.

Seed companies and seed developers established the agency in hopes of protecting intellectual property and reducing infringements. brian.cross@producer.com

PEDIGREED SEED | ALBERTA

Growers irked with Alta. fusarium control program Program ineffective | Pedigreed seed growers say program discourages new seed varieties from being developed in Alberta

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Alberta’s controversial effort to control the spread of fusarium through zero-tolerance regulations is continuing to ruffle feathers among the province’s pedigreed seed growers.

Fusarium graminearum, a prominent cereal crop disease that costs Canada’s agriculture industry hundreds of millions of dollars annually, is continuing to spread across the Prairies from east to west.

Fifteen years ago, Alberta took steps to keep the disease out by declaring it a prohibited pest under the province’s Agricultural Pests Act. Among other things, that act makes it illegal to acquire, sell, distribute or use seed that contains even a minute trace of fusarium.

In 2002, the province also established a provincial fusarium management plan that promotes a variety

of best management practices and reinforces the illegality of using seed that has any detectable level of the disease.

However, the relevance of the management plan and Alberta’s zero-tolerance regulations have come under increasing scrutiny as the disease becomes more prevalent in Alberta.

Fusarium thrives under high moisture conditions and is already well established in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The disease continued to push its way west through Alberta this year and was evident at varying levels in most parts of the province.

Lorena Pahl, executive director of the Alberta Seed Growers Association, said the province’s zero-tolerance policy is not having the intended effect.

The decision to retain a zero-tolerance policy comes at a huge cost to Alberta’s pedigreed seed industry, she added.

“Our biggest concern is lack of enforcement,” Pahl said.

“Right now there’s a lot of common (non-pedigreed) seed being bought and sold in the province that’s not even being tested for fusarium graminearum.

“Alberta Agriculture has basically washed their hands of trying to enforce (the Agricultural Pests Act), and the individual municipalities and counties don’t have the resources or the time to enforce it.”

The prevalence of fusarium in Alberta is making it difficult for some of the province’s seed growers to sell pedigreed wheat seed.

Pedigreed seed that has any detectable trace of the disease cannot legally be sold into seed markets.

The risk of infection in pedigreed fields and plots is also discouraging seed growers and seed companies from multiplying new cereal varieties in the province.

As a result, new seed varieties that are available to commercial grain growers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are

often more difficult to find in Alberta.

“Our seed growers are dumping a lot of high quality seed that has anywhere from .5 percent to one percent fusarium graminearum because we are committed to ensuring that (infected) seed is not sold into Alberta,” Pahl said.

“If they are fortunate and the demand is there, seed growers can move some of that seed into Saskatchewan but otherwise it’s being sold as commercial grain.”

Efforts to amend the fusarium management plan and loosen provincial regulations appeared to be gaining momentum earlier this year.

In July, a private member’s bill that endorsed a .5 percent tolerance in pedigreed seed received first reading in the Alberta legislature.

However, the bill was eventually set aside after consideration by the province’s standing committee on resource management.

“Basically, the Alberta seed growers’ position on Bill 201 was that we

certainly appreciated and applauded the effort to bring awareness to fusarium in Alberta,” Pahl said.

“But at the same time, the proposed .5 percent tolerance was still too restrictive. There has to be some flexibility in the plan.”

The association would like to see a system that gives commercial grain growers reasonable access to new seed varieties, as long as fusarium levels fall within an acceptable range.

“If you’re in an area that has low fusarium pressure and you can find seed with non-detectable levels, then perfect,” said Pahl.

“But if you’re in an area that has higher pressure and the best you can find is two percent, then absolutely, two percent is fine. Put a seed treatment on it and use all the other best management practices. That will have a much bigger impact on how that production turns out.” brian.cross@producer.com

INTENSE CONCENTRATION

NDP CABINET | FARM POLICY

Manitoba gov’t ‘chaos’ worries farm groups Political resignations | Provincial ag ministry rolls out forage shortfall program despite upheaval in other ministries

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manitoba farm groups are growing anxious about the chaos within the provincial government.

They fear that paralysis and distraction could ensue from the ongoing turmoil.

Fortunately for most, no major pieces of agriculture legislation or regulatory overhaul appear to be before the legislature, and regular business seems to be getting done.

“At first there was concern about the excess moisture issues we’ve been facing, that (the political crisis) would slow it down, but that hasn’t happened,” said Melinda German, manager of Manitoba Beef Producers.

“We didn’t have a change in agriculture minister, so thankfully that didn’t change for us.”

Five ministers resigned from premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet Nov. 3 after publicly expressing pessimism about winning the next provincial election if he stayed in place.

Many NDP MLAs have not publicly expressed support for Selinger, and some members of the provincial NDP executive have suggested he should “consider” the impact for the party of him continuing to lead.

Selinger has refused to step aside and plans to face any rivals who run for the party leadership at the party’s convention in March.

Agriculture minister Ron Kostyshyn has not been part of the cabinet insurrection.

Cattle producers were pleased to see the agriculture department announce a forage shortfall program Nov. 12 that would be covered

by AgriRecovery. The announcement was made during the midst of the crisis.

As well, many crop farmers were

relieved to see the agriculture department announce an extension of nutrient spreading Nov. 7, which occurred during the full fury of the crisis. Keystone Agricultural Producers had called for the extension because of the late harvest.

However, some fear that longerterm initiatives might be slowed or stalled.

Andrew Dickson, manager of the Manitoba Pork Council, said he hoped progress would resume on a hog mortality insurance program that has been in the works. Provincial agriculture officials have been working on it, but it has not yet gone forward.

“It has been sitting around on the books for almost two years,” said Dickson.

“It’s hard to know how it’s all going to unfold.”

There has been concern that the political crisis will hobble or paralyze the government.

The March leadership contest could distract the premier and other politicians from the nitty-gritty of government and ministerial management, and some ministries have new ministers, including the allimportant finance department. Any s i g n i f i c a nt f u n d i n g ha s t o b e approved there first.

The Manitoba government has long had an uneasy relationship with large parts of the farming community. It is commonplace in agricultural circles to hear suggestions that the almost entirely urbanbased NDP has little interest in farming realities.

As well, policies like the hog barn moratorium and legislation such as the “Save Lake Winnipeg” act have outraged many farmers, who have felt unjustly blamed for environmental problems.

That brings up an ironic reality for Colin Craig, the Manitoba-Saskatchewan director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation: sometimes little government action is preferable to robust activity.

“The good news is that when you have politicians more focused on infighting like this, that means that they are not able to dream up new ways of spending our money,” said Craig.

However, nobody should believe that it’s “business as usual” for the government, especially if new issues arise.

“Whether it’s transporting grain or other crops, or the province’s deficit, or challenges in the health-care system, when (the premier) wakes up each day and has to focus on media interviews about his own leadership, it’s time and energy not spent on the other matters,” said Craig. ed.white@producer.com

TRADE | WORLD RANKINGS

Industry voices concerns as Canada ranks first for food and ag imports Canada recorded $6.8 billion trade deficit for secondary processed food

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canada is the biggest per capita food importer in the world, but Canadians shouldn’t worry about it, says a Farm Credit Canada economist.

An FCC report on agricultural trade, which was released earlier this month, determined that Canada is the fifth largest exporter and sixth largest importer of agricultural commodities and agri-food products.

When the figures are adjusted for population, Canada is the top global trader of agriculture and agri-food products.

J.P. Gervais, FCC’s chief agricultural economist, said it’s no surprise that Canada is among the world leaders when it comes to pork, beef, grains and oilseed exports, but the import ranking is also impressive.

“If you look at all the imports coming into Canada, for commodities as well as food, we’re No. 6 in the world.

That’s a big deal,” he said.

In comparison, Gervais said Japan is widely recognized as a major importer of food and agricultural commodities.

“But if you account for the size of that country, they’re way below where we are,” he said.

“If you account for the size of the country … then we jump to No. 1.”

G e r va i s may b e u p b e at, b u t industry groups are concerned about the scale of food imports entering Canada.

J.P. GERVAIS FARM CREDIT CANADA

In March, the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute issued a report on Canada’s trade in processed food.

CAPI said Canada recorded a trade deficit of $6.8 billion in secondary processed food last year, which is up significantly from a $1 billion deficit in the early 2000s.

Secondar y processed food includes pizza, sausages, bread, pasta, canned vegetables, candy, beer and wine.

CAPI president David McInnes said Canada excels at primary processing such as oilseed crushing but is weak at turning ingredients into food.

The institute issued a series of reports on the topic this year to identify challenges and paths forward for Canada’s food manufacturing industry.

Gervais said Canada’s status as a major food importer is beneficial because it helps Canadian companies secure export markets.

“Sometimes when you’re trying to knock on other countries’ doors, people are not always receptive to open up. But we can show them that we are open as well,” he said.

“We’re the role models. We’re the leaders in terms of trade when it comes to agriculture and agri-food products.”

FCC said existing and future trade deals will open up foreign markets for Canadian commodities. A successful conclusion to the Trans Pacific Partnership trade negotiations would give Canada access to fast growing markets with 660 million people.

“Vietnam, Peru and Malaysia’s GDP are forecast to increase in 2015 at an annual rate of five percent or more,” the FCC said.

“The 2014-23 OECD-FAO (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development-Food and Agriculture Organization) Agricultural Outlook projects that consumption of beef, pork and wheat in Malaysia, Peru and Chile will all increase rapidly over the next decade.

“Pork consumption is expected to increase 27 percent, with beef and wheat increasing more slowly at 19 percent and 13 percent, respectively.”

FCC projects that Canadian beef production will increase by nine percent and pork exports by six percent from 2014-19 to take advantage of those market opportunities. robert.arnason@producer.com FOR A RELATED STORY, SEE PAGE 81

Currency deal helps boost Canadian trade with China Foreign exchange fees avoided | Researcher predicts increase in Canadian agricultural exports

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada will be the first country in the Americas to have a clearing bank with China, smoothing trade with the second most valuable market for Canadian agricultural exports.

The renminbi is the official Chinese currency, often referred to as the yuan.

The clearing bank is part of a series of measures adopted by China and Canada to increase the use of the Chinese currency in trade deals.

Daniel Koldyk, senior researcher with Export Development Canada, said the measures should make it easier and more economical for Canadian companies to do business in a market that bought $5.6 billion of Canadian agriculture and seafood exports last year.

The clearinghouse will allow exporters to convert transactions directly between the Canadian dollar and the renminbi.

Most trades done today have to be looped through the U.S. dollar, which means a foreign exchange fee is charged on both sides of the transaction.

“It is like a double whammy,” said Koldyk.

Those fees can be substantial, from .5 percent of the transaction for large deals to 2.5 percent for smaller trades.

The clearing bank makes it possible to eliminate the extra foreign exchange fees.

“That in itself on large commodity trades can lead to huge

savings,” said Koldyk.

Transactions will now be able to be cleared in Canada rather than Hong Kong or London, which can be problematic because of time zone differences.

The Bank of Canada and the People’s Bank of China have established a $30 billion currency swap line that will provide emergency liquidity to support Canadian institutions should there be a run on the renminbi.

Koldyk was also pleased to see the establishment of a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor quota of 50 billion renminbi.

It allows Canadian exporters to invest the proceeds of transac-

tions in Chinese securities markets rather than immediately converting them to Canadian or U.S. dollars.

It allows exporters to hedge the foreign exchange.

“You start to add all these things up and of course it starts to mean a lot, especially on a large transaction,” he said.

Koldyk expects Chinese customers to start demanding that transactions be denominated in renminbi once the currency hub is established.

He believes the Chinese government will put pressure on state owned enterprises to do contracts

in renminbi because China wants its currency to become one of the main currencies used in world trade.

Koldyk thinks the hub will help expand the customer base for Canadian agricultural exporters because it is easier for some Chinese customers to arrange things such as lines of credit if the deal is done in their own currency.

It should also help reduce foreign exchange risk, which is built into the price of contracts.

The hub will make Canada more competitive with other countries that already have one, such as Britain, South Korea, Australia, France, Germany and Singapore, and it will give Canada a leg up on exporting nations that don’t have one.

Canadian agri-food exports to China are already impressive, growing by 12.5 percent per year over the last decade. sean.pratt@producer.com

Problems slow business at Churchill port Port has average results despite record potential

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU & COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE

It could have been a record year for the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba.

“The port suffered from a lack of cars, just like a lot of the other short lines and producers in Saskatchewan,” said Sinclair Harrison, president of the Hudson Bay Route Association.

“We were hoping for a record year because of all the old 2013 crop that was (on the Prairies.) It had the potential to be an excellent year.”

Instead, the port moved only 540,000 tonnes of crops.

They are average results, but Harrison said it was less than what could have moved if all shippers had been able to send all they wanted to the port.

It moved 636,000 tonnes in 2012-13.

Port operator Omnitrax said a number of factors hampered performance this year, including a harsh winter, a short fall shipping season and unexpectedly severe maintenance shutdowns.

President Merv Tweed said the quick 2013 freeze and late 2014 thaw also hurt.

“The permafrost coming out of the ground just created a challenge every day for us to move grain cars,” said Tweed.

Rail line maintenance costs more than tripled, from an average of $3 million per year to almost $10 million.

AUSTRALIA | CROP OUTPUT

Frost, hail, lack of rain drain Australia’s output Optimism fades | Most states suffered weather and disease issues but Western Australia is the ‘shining light’

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Australia’s crops keep getting smaller.

Rural Bank, a major Australian farm lender, has released its production estimates for the country’s major crops.

The bank forecasts 23.3 million tonnes of wheat, 7.27 million tonnes of barley and 3.43 million tonnes of canola.

The wheat forecast is 932,000 tonnes below the Australian government’s September estimate, and the barley estimate is 277,000 tonnes smaller. The canola forecast is slightly higher than the government estimate but lower than the Australian Oilseeds Federation outlook in October.

Production of all three crops will be well below last year’s output, with wheat falling 14 percent, barley down 24 percent and canola dropping nine percent, the bank said.

The Australian government is scheduled to come out with a new estimate Dec. 2.

Some Australian analysts think the wheat crop could be as small as 22 million tonnes, boosting prospects for North American wheat exports to markets in Southeast Asia.

The bank said crops got off to an

ideal start because of abundant early-season rain, but optimism quickly faded when rainfall between July and October turned patchy and below average in many important grain growing regions.

Isolated frost and hail haven’t helped matters.

“Variability is going to be the order of the day for harvest this year,” Will Rayner, the bank’s general manager of agribusiness, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Crops are particularly disappointing in Queensland, southern New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.

Cereal crop yields are expected to be below the five-year average in Queensland. The bank expects the state’s smallest wheat crop since 2008.

Good April rainfall caused growers in New South Wales to seed early, but that left crops susceptible to frost damage, especially canola. Growers can expect average yields.

Patchy rain is expected to result in below average crop production in Victoria, ending a string of good harvests in that state.

Crops in South Australia got off to the best start in 20 years, but the lack of late growing season rainfall has dulled prospects to the point where the bank is anticipating slightly

DRY IN AUSTRALIA Dry weather for most of the growing season in Australia’s eastern grain belt has taken a toll on production. Average to above average production in Western Australia is expected to partly make up the deficit but current forecasts put the wheat crop at 22-24 million tonnes, down from 27 million tonnes last year.

be more than the long-term average, despite one of the warmest and driest springs on record. Disaster was averted because of stored soil mois-

ture from above average rainfall earlier in the season.

However, production of wheat and barley, the state’s two biggest crops, will be below the five-year average, according to the state government.

Quality has been good for earlyseeded cereals but is expected to diminish for late-seeded crops because of the extremely dry finish.

South Australia’s canola crop is also in trouble, with the forecast calling for an 18 percent reduction over the previous five-year average because of beet western yellow virus, waterlogging, frost damage and dry spring conditions.

Western Australia should pull up national yield averages. Many regions in the southern part of the state are expecting average to above average yields.

“Western Australia is probably the shining light,” said Rayner.

Wheat production in Western Australia is expected to be above the fiveyear average of 8.28 million tonnes despite poor rainfall, hot conditions and hail damage in the northern part of the state.

There are reports that harvest rain has caused considerable downgrading of Western Australia’s wheat and barley crops. sean.pratt@producer.com

PRICE RALLY | WHEAT

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The last ship left Nov. 6, a week earlier than in 2012-13 because of encroaching freezing of the ocean waters.

Wheat still dominates port shipments, making up 75 percent of the total volume, but significant canola shipments were made, boosting that crop’s role in the port.

“We (usually) do one or two boats a year, (but) this year I think we did four and interest was growing,” Tweed said.

Harrison was pleased to see the crop base diversify from an almost total reliance on wheat.

“That’s encouraging,” he said.

The construction of a shipping hub in The Pas, Man., should boost Churchill’s ability to handle more prairie grain, Harrison said.

Farmers certainly want to use the port, even if the railways and logistics system didn’t provide the producer cars that they ordered, he added.

“The fact that they weren’t being fulfilled doesn’t mean the interest isn’t there,” said Harrison.

With generally better shipping conditions this year and hopefully in future years, Harrison hopes better shipping conditions can help volumes start breaking records again.

“This year was acceptable (only) under the conditions that everybody else was putting up with,” he said. ed.white@producer.com

Will wheat price rally keep its momentum?

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

W

heat took over the driver’s seat from the oilseed complex in crop markets

last week.

Fundamental factors such as freezing weather in the United States supported wheat, while technical factors such as the narrowing spread between contract months showed improving demand.

However, the rally did not carry through to the close Nov. 17, which raised questions about whether the price strength has staying power.

The nearby Chicago soft wheat contract rose 8.9 percent last week, which was the biggest one-week gain since July 2012.

Kansas City December hard red winter wheat gained 6.4 percent, and Minneapolis December spring wheat gained 7.9 percent.

The main factor lifting wheat was the cold weather that extended into the U.S., which presented a threat to the newly seeded winter wheat crop.

The market was also noting the renewed frictions between Ukraine and Russia over alleged Russian incursions into eastern Ukraine.

The violence in Ukraine has not hurt production or exports, but there is the potential.

Other fuel also helped keep wheat at a low boil last week: • Australia’s crop is suffering under dry conditions.

• Russian and Ukraine wheat is under stress as it goes into winter dormancy.

• There is an ample supply of wheat this year, but much of it is of poor quality and buyers are paying more to get the limited supply of quality wheat.

The spread between contract months is also narrowing, which indicates stronger commercial demand.

The carry in Chicago wheat between the December and March contracts as of Nov. 17 was only two cents. It was 24 cents at the beginning of November.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that export sales of U.S. wheat in the latest week were 417,700 tonnes, topping trade expectations for 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes.

But as they say, like fire, grain rallies must be constantly fed to be sustained, and there might not be enough nourishing news to keep this flame alight.

Week-to-week weather has less impact on yield potential as winter takes hold and winter crops move into dormancy. Production potential resumes as a topic of market talk in late February and early March as weather starts to warm and dormancy ends.

Of course, there is speculation about how many acres were seeded to winter wheat in the United States. The U.S. Department of Agriculture releases its survey of winter wheat seeding in January.

An Informa forecast last week said farmers would seed 42.2 million acres of winter wheat, about the same as last year.

Demand can be monitored weekly over winter. If North American prices rally too much, exports will fall off as buyers turn to cheaper

sources from the Black Sea, Europe or Australia.

The competitiveness of Russian wheat is assisted by the falling ruble, which is under pressure from the sanctions that Western countries have imposed over Russia’s aggression in Ukraine.

Another factor of particular interest to durum sellers is the impending winter closure of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The shine could come off the strong prices for quality durum as the window closes for the European and North Africa markets.

The bottom line in all this is that premiums will likely continue for quality wheat, but lower grades face strong competition from ample world supply, which limits the likelihood of a sustained rally this winter.

If Russian or American winter wheat crops come out of dormancy in the late winter in poor condition and there is little spring rain, then you can clear the decks for a rally. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

CORN OUTLOOK | SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Greater demand could offset large corn stockpiles Demand up 275 million bushels | Corn for feed increased 125 million bu. from the June estimate

BY GAVIN MAGUIRE REUTERS ANALYSIS

CHICAGO, Ill. — At slightly more than two billion bushels, this year’s projected U.S. corn carryout would be the largest in a decade and represent more than 50 days of use.

However, as imposing as that supply total may appear, American domestic demand is also increasing, which should draw down those inventories at a steady pace and serve to underpin corn prices going into next year.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has increased its total U.S. corn demand estimate by 275 million bu.

(2.1 percent) since June because of improved end-user profits fuelled by multi-year low corn prices.

This looks set to increase demand further down the line if domestic ethanol production continues to increase.

The strong commitment by U.S. farmers to store rather than sell their corn is also likely to offer price support going forward, although the fact

ed over the remainder of the year.

Corn prices could well gain sustained upside momentum if increased corn purchases from ethanol traders leads to heightened competition with feedlot buyers, especially if overseas buyers also enter the fray and lead to firmer U.S. export orders.

The USDA has increased U.S. corn exports by 50 million bu. since June but has opted to hold its target rate flat for the past three months amid a fairly quiet spell on the shipments front.

A major reason for recent lackluster corn exports has been the overwhelming focus on soybeans, which have taken precedence in most export channels as international buyers work to restock supply pipelines.

However, corn is expected to take up a growing share of the supply flow once the initial waves of fresh soybean supplies have been dispatched and should see a notable increase in purchase orders before year end.

As promising as the demand outlook may seem, the upside for prices could prove to be limited by the amount of corn stored on farms this autumn.

Cash-rich growers across the Midwest have grown accustomed to corn prices in the $4 to $5 a bu. range and have been unimpressed by the recent slump in cash values into the low $3 region.

Rather than accept that relatively poor market price, many growers have opted to lock their grain away for a few months, hoping prices rebound into profitable territory.

History has shown that such a stor-

age play can pay off handsomely.

However, the fact that so many growers are storing a huge chunk of the national crop this year means there is likely a limit in how far prices can increase before bursts of farmer selling eventually caps the market.

As well, corn buyers are aware that farmers will be forced to sell off most of their supplies ahead of next year’s harvest and so will not easily be lured into chasing rallies in the interim.

This especially applies to international consumers, who are also mindful that one-third of all corn exports can be acquired from Southern Hemisphere growers. These growers operate on a different rhythm and cost structure than their North American counterparts and may be forced to make sales at prices below where U.S. growers are prepared to sell.

This means American growers could well be undercut by overseas rivals if they hang on to their supplies for too long.

U.S. farmers need to look beyond their own on-farm supplies and make sure they exploit pockets of firm demand with timely sales while they can, even if prices are not quite what they would like.

of how strong consumption becomes over the near to medium term.

The corn trade has been rightly preoccupied for the past several months with chronicling the development of this year’s record-setting U.S. crop, which is set to top the 14 billion bu. mark for the first time.

However, just as producers started harvesting this year’s bumper crop, end-users of the grain increased their buying and consumption of corn amid the friendly price environment that prevailed in late summer and early autumn.

Projected corn use by livestock feeders, the largest corn user group, is up 125 million bu. from the June estimate. It was the result of a combination of firm cattle and beef prices and weak corn values, which boosted cattle production margins and promoted herd expansion.

Good pasture conditions allowed ranchers to keep their herds out grazing for longer, but the flow of cattle through corn-dependent feedlots is expected to increase as winter sets in.

Profit margins for ethanol producers, which make up the second biggest corn user group, have also widened lately. This is expected to promote a further expansion of the corn-based fuel for the remainder of the year.

The USDA already increased its corn use projections from the ethanol sector by 25 million bu. in its latest assessment, which marks a 100 million bu. rise for that demand source since June.

However, ethanol’s corn consumption could rise by year end if plant operators increase output as expect-

Weather, tight supplies drive U.S. cattle prices to new highs Smallest herd in decades | Beef packers see negative margins as problematic weather adds to supply challenges CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Prices for slaughter-ready or cash cattle in the U.S. Plains hit an all-time high Nov. 14, fueled by an early winter storm.

The U.S. herd is the smallest since the early 1950s.

Some beef packers paid record cattle prices of US $171 to $172 per

hundredweight in parts of Kansas and Nebraska, which topped the previous high of $170 set in late October and was up as much as $5 from sales two weeks ago.

Early wintry weather blew across the Midwest last week, packing heavy snow in the northern Plains along with bitterly cold temperatures that

A few cash fed cattle sales in the United States fetched a new record high of US$171-$172 per hundredweight.

Alberta direct cattle sales were too few to allow a market trend to establish. The Alberta cash market has now shifted to a bi-monthly flush of sales with packer bids generally based off contracts.

However, a handful of dressed sales were reported with prices at $290$292 per cwt. delivered, generally steady with the previous week.

U.S. buyers showed interest, but sales did not develop.

Inclement weather forced packers to spend more for cattle after they tried to by them hand-to-mouth in recent weeks to realign their deeply red margins, said Robb.

Beef packer margins were a negative $83.95 per head Nov. 14, compared with a negative $83 Nov. 13 and a negative $109.70 a week earlier,

according to the analytics firm Hedgersedge.com. The storm crimped already scarce supplies, the result of several years of drought that damaged crops and shrunk the herd to its lowest level in 63 years.

CRAIG’S VIEW

GRAIN HANDLING | RAIL SERVICE

Railways’ shipping performance requires more subtle approach

A

meeting of those who believe it would be a good idea to end Ottawa’s grain hauling targets could probably be held in a phone booth.

Few, if any, outside of Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway have voiced any sort of support for allowing the two big rail companies to service the grain industry based on their own market requirements and schedules.

Last week, the three general farm organizations on the Prairies, Keystone Agricultural Producers in Manitoba, Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, all called on the federal government to extend its one million tonne per week target at least until spring.

Keeping the railways on track will require continued vigilance to ensure we do not see a repeat of last year’s fiasco. Farmers lost millions of dollars last winter when rail backlogs left them unable to ship a bumper crop to market.

This year’s crop is not as large, but with large carry-over stocks, the total crop supply is 95.6 million tonnes, the second largest ever.

However, simply extending the minimum haul requirements and fines of $100,000 for each time a railway fails to hit the target is not enough. That’s because the railways have understandably shipped most of the grain through their high volume east-west corridor as a way to meet the mandate.

Short-line railways are being left out and have not been receiving the rail cars they need.

Some short lines report unfilled orders for rail cars going back to last spring.

It means they lost money last winter and this summer during a time of plenty, with a bumper crop to ship and more than enough to go around.

That can’t be allowed to continue. Given the lack of competition that already exists in rail transportation, farmers and grain companies should want to do all they can to keep these

smaller niche players thriving.

As well, American buyers are voicing concerns about being unable to get their supplies, particularly oats. For many Canadian growers, these represent long-term, stable markets and we need to find a better way to service them.

The heavy crop and rail backlogs that are starting to pile up in the United States should also be on Ottawa’s radar, lest it create problems for Canadian growers this winter.

Demand for additional rail cars and locomotives in the U.S. has potential to draw muchneeded equipment south, should American operators start bidding up prices.

Farmers and grain handlers are right to point out that the rail transportation system needs to continue with enforceable performance standards and penalties. And as winter progresses, it will become more important to ensure that grain continues to move smoothly as the seasonal difficulties mount, such as the need to run shorter trains in cold weather, snow clearance delays and blocked tracks.

However, the crisis is now over and the sledgehammer style approach that was appropriate last spring must be re-evaluated. There are other aspects to the business that require a more deft touch.

The federal government now faces a new challenge.

We need new rules that will continue to hold the railroads accountable for timely, efficient service but that will also allow smaller operators and those serving specialty markets a fair share of the business.

A healthy transportation network must serve many interests. That is best achieved by providing options in choice of shipper and the flexibility to provide for all markets, not just those served via the high volume routes.

Tories prepare for election with renewed trade emphasis CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

rade, trade and more trade: it’s been a favourite cornerstone in the Conservative political agenda for years.

Now, with an election looming, the Conservatives have intensified their international push for new market access, again.

Trade has quietly dominated the international political agenda for most of November.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, whose meeting schedule would leave the Energizer Bunny out of breath, was en route to China in early November, alongside prime minister Stephen Harper, international trade minister Ed Fast and others. The trip

marked Ritz’s 11th visit to China since being named agriculture minister in 2007.

The lure of China is understandable. After all, half a million Canadian jobs can be directly tied to trade relations between the two countries, while China consistently ranks as one of Canada’s top five export destinations. It is also Canada’s second largest trading partner.

China represents a lucrative market for Canadian agriculture, particularly for pork, canola products, beef, pulses, wheat and dairy genetics. The Chinese are also eager to increase their consumption of cherries with both countries signing a final agreement granting access for British Columbia cherries. A similar agreement is in the works for blueberries.

However, China wasn’t the only country Canada was interested in courting this month.

After a quick return trip to Ottawa to mark Remembrance Day, the prime minister was back on a plane, this time headed to New Zealand before making his way to Australia for the

highly anticipated G20 meetings.

Canada and New Zealand share a friendly political relationship, but they don’t see eye to eye on supply management. Canada wants to keep it, while the Kiwis would like to see a commitment to eventually get rid of it.

The New Zealanders have been adamant they would support a phase-out toward an open market system, given their own past experiences. New Zealand used to operate under a supply managed dairy system, but abandoned the practice after the first oil shock in 1979. The move left farmers in that country reeling for years before regaining their feet.

The stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations are expected to gain steam now that the U.S. midterm elections are over and the Republicans have gained control of the Senate.

It could increase international pressure on Canada, which has been quietly chastised in the past by international counterparts for its stance

on supply management.

Not to be left out, Fast headed to Tokyo Nov. 17 to resume talks with the Japanese. With the future of the TPP negotiations still riding on American actions, the bilateral talks have been touted by some as a fallback plan for Canadian interests should TPP fail.

The trade minister’s trip is also a chance for Canadian officials to continue mending fences with the Japanese, whose feathers were severely ruffled after last winter’s transportation crisis delayed grain shipments for weeks.

As for Russia, well, Canadian pork producers hoping to gain some kind access to the formerly lucrative market shouldn’t hold their breath. Russian officials announced Nov. 14 it was temporarily banning Canadian pork because of re-emerging concerns over the growth promotant ractopamine.

Canada remains under earlier Russian sanctions, imposed in August, which saw an immediate ban of all agricultural imports of beef, pork,

fruits and vegetables, poultry, fish, cheese, milk and dairy products from the United States, the European Union, Canada, the Kingdom of Norway, and Australia.

The broad stroke sanctions, the toughest food restrictions to be imposed since the Soviet Union, were triggered after Russian actions in Ukraine prompted sharp condemnation from western countries.

That condemnation continues.

At a private function for G20 members in Brisbane Nov. 15, Harper finally got a chance to speak his mind on the Russian situation. He reportedly told president Vladmir Putin to “get out of Ukraine” during a handshake, the prime minister’s spokesperson, Jason MacDonald, confirmed. Putin, meanwhile, apparently responded with, “that’s impossible because we are not there.”

Canada’s relationship with Russia is clearly still frosty and unlikely to thaw on the trade front anytime soon.

Gov’t must address land investment deals

BY DAN PATTERSON

T

he aggressive attempts of investment concerns to acquire large tracts of Saskatchewan farmland should be among the issues addressed in the fall sitting of the Saskatchewan legislature.

Progressive Conservative leader Rick Swenson has been bringing this matter forward, but the two parties in control of the legislature seem oblivious to the threat this represents to rural Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan’s farm ownership legislation was designed in the early 1970s to prevent investment entities, including pension plans, from deploying their vast financial resources in the acquisition of farmland.

However, the Farm Land Security Board is increasingly being challenged in its mandate to effectively enforce the provisions of the Saskatchewan Farm Security Act. This reflects a worldwide agenda of farmland acquisition by sovereign wealth funds, investment management funds and pension plans.

Farmland has become a prime investment target for solid low risk capital gains, particularly since the last recession.

As well, there is a growing belief that a rapidly increasing world population and the effects of climate change will exacerbate food supply issues. Some high population, low resource nations are attempting to gain direct control over food production assets around the world.

Food security has arrived on the geo-political agenda.

Canadian pension funds are also keen to invest in our farmland.

The announcement of the acquisition of the farmland assets of Assini-

boia Farmland LLP by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board last December initially drew little attention in the farm community, despite the comments of a CPPIB senior vicepresident that it intends to invest $2 to $3 billion in farm land assets over the next five years.

The CPP farmland portfolio could easily grow to a million acres over time.

The Public Service Pension Plan, capitalized at more than $90 billion, is also determined to acquire a chunk of “the Last Best West.”

Other Canadian pension plans,

which are structured as trusts and not eligible to acquire Saskatchewan farmland, are chafing over the evident disparity that is keeping them out of this acquisition race. One can expect a serious lobbying campaign to correct this perceived inequity.

Foremost in many young farmers’ minds is how these acquisition agendas will diminish their own modest aspirations to expand. Competing with pension funds and investment entities with access to hundreds of billions of dollars is a daunting and discouraging prospect.

However, the implications go beyond individual producers. Saskatchewan’s rural economic and social structure would be radically and irrevocably degraded.

For example, the CPP Investment Board is required by its enabling legislation to maximize returns on its assets. The Assiniboia entity, which continues to manage the land sold to the CPPIB, will also be pursuing the same imperative.

Managing the rental of a million acres would be an entirely different enterprise than 130,000 acres. The land would necessarily and inevitably be consolidated into large blocks operated by commercial scale corporate concerns. The result will be the beginning of the end of local family ownership as the basis of our farm ownership structure.

The deterioration of rural communities will accelerate.

FARM PLANNING | SEED, INPUTS, INSURANCE

Importance of decision season can’t be ignored HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

F

arming has two seasons: the growing season and the decision season.

The growing season effectively ends at freeze-up, at which time decision-making kicks into high gear.

Some decisions are a matter of habit or were determined during the course of growing and harvesting the crop. However, many wait until the mind is focused on the next planting season.

Crop choice is a big one. Will you adjust your cropping mix in an effort to increase returns?

Soybeans are popular in Manitoba, where overall yields were comparable to canola and net returns were

superior. That wasn’t the experience in many parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, but many producers would really like to make soybeans work on their farms.

Based on current prices, flax could be poised for another sizable acreage increase, but producers will be wondering how much production the market can handle before prices sag.

Durum decisions will be interesting to monitor. The huge price premium over other types of wheat screams for more durum. On the other hand, there were severe disease issues with the crop in many regions. As well, seed will be expensive. As with flax, producers will wonder if the strong prices are sustainable.

Seed testing labs are doing a brisk business, and the results will form the basis for many crop choice decisions.

For canola, a key decision will revolve around whether to switch to straight cutting. Varieties with improved pod shattering resistance are becoming available, and many producers were pleased with straight cutting this year. If the trend contin-

ues, there could be a lot of used swathers on the market.

Some producers have already bought a sizable portion of their fertilizer for next year, but many are sitting on the fence hoping prices will drop. Others want to finalize their cropping plans before deciding on fertilizer blends, and some need to free up bin space and/or generate cash flow before buying.

Producers are reminded every year that prices are typically cheaper in the fall and winter than in the spring.

Producers are well aware of this normal price trend, but they aren’t as convinced about the threat of logistical problems if they don’t buy early.

That is often dismissed as hype to drive sales.

Decisions also need to be made about land rental agreements.

There’s still fierce competition for land, despite softer prices for the major grains. If you offer a landlord a lower cash rent, do you risk losing that land to someone else?

More producers will be considering Global Ag Risk Solutions as a part of their risk management plan. The private revenue insurance company

from Moose Jaw, Sask., insured 1.7 million acres this year and is gearing up for three to 3.5 million acres next year.

One would think that softer grain prices would increase premiums for a revenue insurance product, but company officials say coverage levels will increase and premiums will drop a bit because of their higher volume of business.

Whether a producer goes with Global Ag Risk will influence decisions on crop insurance coverage levels.

Better information is available to aid in decision making as a new growing season approaches. Unfortunately, waiting too long can mean missed opportunities. Seed for what you want to grow may be difficult to obtain. Crop contracts may be sold out. Fertilizer prices may have jumped.

Decision season is a major component of your growing season success or failure.

Time to tackle lack of rail competition EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE, MANAGING EDITOR

I

t can be hard to measure the true efficiency of corporate and public entities when the assets weren’t purchased or could not be purchased.

The railway industry is an example.

The cost of developing Canada’s rail beds from scratch would be so high today that no one would invest in those enterprises, even with record railway profits.

From the start, land was granted as an incentive to build, and government absorbed the costs from the public purse.

There are some projects that private industry doesn’t do, such as a national highway system or infrastructure to rural and remote areas.

Canadian National Railway was created in 1918 from a number of small, mostly bankrupt, private railways and was publicly operated until 1995. CN was privatized for $2.26 billion, a tiny portion of what it would cost to build.

The private Canadian Pacific Railway was given a line of credit, 25 million acres of land and 1,100 kilometres of completed railway through most of the toughest sections of Canada.

These great deals were some of Canada’s first P3s, the public-private partnerships that today’s more conservative governments are using to avoid the appearance of taking on public debt for necessary infrastructure projects such as schools, water treatment plants, medical diagnostic services and prisons.

Railways are special because of their monopolistic design. As a result, rail beds are nationalized in many parts of the world.

The other way to ensure competition on price and service is to create open running rights that allow, for a publicly set price, the ability of competitors to operate on each other’s rail beds. This is done in Australia and Europe.

Canada’s new inter-switching rules, now part of federal legislation, allow, for a fee of $461, a rail car to be shifted to a competitor’s track, provided it was picked up within 160 km of the switch.

CP is suing the government over the fees.

The grain industry admits the process is cumbersome because of the railways’ lack of willingness to accommodate one another’s traffic.

Due to the anti-competitive nature of the current duopoly, would open running rights legislation be the Damoclesian sword held over Canada’s railways that would ensure competitive-like pricing and service?

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

Now that harvest is over, farmers and consumers should pay close attention to the ramifications of the Canada European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, referred to as CETA. Bill C-18 changes nine agricultural acts. It adds measures to permit “incorporation by reference” of third party documents in seven acts, allowing government to use foreign studies when making regulatory decisions under those acts, and amends the Plant Breeders Rights Act to comply with International Union of Protection of New Varieties (UPOV’91).

UPOV 91 is all about giving more power to multinational corporations.

Bill C-18 will shift decision making about the safety and the quality of our food, feed, fertilizers and seed into corporate boardrooms instead of through a publicly accountable process where it can be discussed openly

by Canadians.

So while politicians, like MP Leon Benoit, state that Bill C-18 will strengthen farmers’ ability to save seed, the reverse is actually true.

Benoit is being less than truthful, or he does not understand the greed of large corporations like Monsanto, Syngenta and others, to control or dominate the world food supply.

During the spring 2014 meeting of the Saskatchewan Association of

Rural Municipalities, the delegates put forward a resolution that passed by an overwhelming majority in opposition to Bill C-18 and UPOV 91.

However, SARM did not lobby the provincial government, as directed by the delegates, in opposition to Bill C-18. Rather SARM circulated a letter from the provincial government promoting UPOV 91 and Bill C-18 to all reeves, councillors and administrators of RMs in the province.

SARM is obviously in the back pocket of the provincial government and is not following directives from SARM’s far mer delegates. Tim McMillan, the Lloydminster MLA, did nothing to stick up for farmers.

Federal minister of agriculture

THE FASTEST, MOST COMPLETE BURNDOWN JUST GOT FASTER.

Gerry Ritz (WP Oct. 16) states that “a farmer does not need to seek permission from the rights holder to store farm-saved seeds for replanting in future years”.

I do not trust Ritz, as he also promised farmers a vote on the removal of the single desk monopoly on wheat and barley sales held by the Canadian Wheat Board.

Ritz removed this monopoly without a vote and is now trying to bury the CWB as if it were a dead skunk. He even refuses to publish an annual financial statement of the CWB. Farmers of North America are trying to raise money from investors to purchase the remnants of the CWB. When checking the online registries of companies, Farmers of North America is a sole proprietorship owned by one man.

Farmers have to ask if the powerful options in UPOV 91 and Bill C-18, such as charging farmers a royalty on both patent seed purchases and an end royalty on crops grown, will not be used.

Companies will even have the ability to seize farmers’ production and equipment before a case of infringement goes to court.

Why not remove these unfair and unjust powers from the legislation?

Trust me — if legislation permits certain powers, they will eventually be implemented.

And once something is implemented, it is difficult to remove, and farmers will no doubt bear the brunt of more power, lobbying influence and the greed of large multinational corporations.

These corporations have a primary purpose, and it is profit at whatever and whoever’s expense.

It is imperative that farmers talk to the politician they elected and tell them what is happening on the farm: drastically lower grain prices, rising operating expenses, narrowing margins and record debt loads.

Let the politicians know that farmers oppose many aspects of UPOV 91 and Bill C-18, and SARM delegates voted in opposition, but the farmers’ votes are not being considered on this irreversible shift of power to the multinationals.

Farmers, it is time to take action before it is too late.

PUBLIC PULPIT | IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Appearing on national TV SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

JOYCE SASSE

I

n the days when CBC television broadcast a weekly nation-wide church service, our small rural congregation was asked to participate.

The setting consisted of a church, a lamp post and a defunct grain elevator located 14 kilometres off the highway.

Ours was a vibrant family-based community where the church served as both a worship and social centre.

Of course, we were honoured to share our story with the world.

Preparation took place on several levels.

The hospitality corps cleaned, polished and talked about how to present ourselves with authenticity. Of course there would be food, both for the technical folks setting up on Saturday and for the Sunday pot-luck meal.

Everyone shared ideas about favorite hymns, sermon theme, children’s story and how to be inclusive in our prayers.

The excitement that day was visceral as grandparents returned and young people got to see inside the equipment van.

The event was made more memorable a year later when one of the cameramen returned to marry the TV studio’s secretary, whose home base was our community.

Letters of appreciation arrived following the broadcast, some with a few dollars for the offering plate.

One person grumbled about the incorrectness of having a woman minister, but the board secretary refused to release the letter when prodded to do so by a media interviewer doing a follow-up of our service.

“It was only one letter among many,” the secretary commented, “and it’s simply not an issue for us.”

That affirmation and wisdom made me ever so proud to be part of this caring community.

Joyce Sasse writes for the Canadian Rural Church Network at www.canadian ruralchurch.net.

We find your article (“Brahman bred way up north, WP Oct. 23) quite good, except Michael Latimer’s comment about Brahman meat quality.

In reply to his comment, we offer the following.

Some people radicalize that Brahman genetics lower beef. Nothing can be further from the truth.

A group of cattlemen, in the late 1990s, designed a contest to recognize the optimum feeder steer. The contest was industry wide and included all beef breeds. Steers were rated on feedlot performance, carcass quality and net return.

Imagine the surprise when the contest was won by a Brahman-cross steer. Not only that, four of the top five were Brahman-crosses.

Australia’s top chefs have proclaimed Brahman influenced beef as the best in taste and quality of all beef breeds.

A cholesterol study is also underway that is examining the possibility that the fat in beef produced by Brahman influenced cattle is more “heart friendly” than the fat in beef produced by other breeds.

Brahman influenced cattle produce tender, lean and tasty beef.

GREAT IDEA AGAIN To the Editor: Regarding the front page article “FNA reveals plans to buy control of CWB” (WP Oct. 9).

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 20, 2014

What a great, super, fantastic idea.

Never heard of farmers getting into the grain marketing and farm supply business in my lifetime.

Whoa. Let us back this freight train up about a century and 10 percent ago.

Do like I did; I checked my history books. Farmers 110 years ago began working to set up a farmers’ owned grain company. That was the Grain Growers, later called the United Grain Growers. Then followed the three prairie pools.

We farmers had four grain companies with feet in the grain marketing world. A number of generations of farmers later, about one century, we suddenly find ourselves with déjà vu all over again.

Farmers as a group having an organization like that for whatever reason just simply has a problem keeping that foot in the grain marketing and

13

farm supply doors.

Once we were there we should have stayed there. Financially, we cannot keep doing this. In, out and in again.

Once in, stay in.

With the four farmer-owned companies I found I got some extra money for my grains. Or perhaps a better grade, which equals more money.

FNA has a great idea. I hope it works out, positively. The problem will come again in a few generations from now.

GRAIN GRADING | COMPOSITE, INCREMENTAL

PROPERTY RIGHTS | CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS

Disputes arise from ignorance on grading changes

Wildrose Party seeks property rights protection

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canadian grain quality standards haven’t changed, but a new type of grading might be surprising buyers who aren’t aware of the changes, the Canadian Grain Commission acknowledges.

“I’m not sure that all of the countries are fully aware of the difference between composite and incremental (grading), so I think there’s some education that needs to be done there,” said Daryl Beswitherick, the commission’s program manager for quality assurance.

Until late 2012, Canadian grain loaded onto ocean vessels was checked and graded every 2,000 tonnes. This is known as incremental grading.

However, buyers and sellers can now choose whether they want to continue doing that or switch to composite grading, in which 2,000 tonne increments don’t have to meet the grading standard, as long as earlier or later increments in the same vessel compensate for that and bring the average back to the grade standard.

That’s where there might be communication problems between the people who negotiate contracts and those who receive the grain.

Derek Sliworsky of Singapore’s Prima Group recently highlighted such a problem during the Cereals North America conference. He said millers at his company were surprised when a Canadian grain shipment’s specifications varied between holds in the vessel, which

forced them to adjust their processing.

Beswitherick said composite grading can be attractive to some buyers and sellers because it removes the danger of having to offload some parts of a shipment if they are not exactly to grade or having to certify that particular part of a load as a different grade. Both of those can be expensive and difficult to do.

Beswitherick said guaranteed specifications in export shipments should not be any different than three years ago.

“What was a No. 1 Canada Western Red Spring with the wheat board is still a No. 1 without the wheat board,” said Beswitherick. ed.white@producer.com

Legislation changes sought to protect landowners

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Rural Albertans’ concerns about property rights were among the key reasons the Wildrose Party won most rural constituencies in the last provincial election.

The party now wants property rights enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

On Nov. 24, Wildrose MLA Rod Fox plans to introduce Bill 501 in the provincial legislature in efforts to

accomplish that goal.

The bill supports an amendment to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that would entrench property rights for Alberta.

“Recent provincial legislation has eroded the rights of landowners in our province by giving broad discretionary powers to the government on deciding the fate of private land and compensation practices in expropriation cases,” Fox said in a Nov. 14 teleconference.

The amendment was proposed by Lethbridge MP Jim Hillyer in Motion 520, which he introduced in the House of Commons June 11.

Property rights became a hot button issue several years ago, particularly for rural Albertans, when the Progressive Conservative government passed five bills affecting landowner rights.

Among the most controversial was Bill 36, the Land Stewardship Act, which allowed government to rescind or cancel land titles without guaranteed compensation or legal recourse.

The bill has since been amended, but Wildrose leader Danielle Smith said the changes may not be sufficient to protect landowners’ rights.

Other property-related bills that raised ire included Bill 19, the Land Assembly Project Area Act; Bill 24, the Carbon Capture and Storage Statutes Amendment Act; Bill 50, the Electric Statutes Amendment Act; and Bill 2, the Responsible Energy Development Act. “Some of them have been amended. Some of them remain just as bad as they were when they were implemented,” said Smith.

The provincial motion, if passed, and the federal amendment, if passed, would prevent laws from being enacted if they threatened property rights in the province.

Rather than opening the constitution for amendment, Wildrose and Hillyer plan to use Section 43 of the federal Constitution Act, which allows changes if the amendment applies to one or more provinces, but not all of them, and the legislatures of those provinces support it.

Such an amendment must also be passed in the House of Commons and Senate.

“Most people agree today that there is no appetite for debate on general constitutional reform and not any likelihood that a general amendment … would be successful,” said Hillyer in explaining the Section 43 routing of the plan.

“This motion, this amendment, is not just to go after a couple of bills that have taken away property rights.…

This is a bigger picture. It makes sure that these kinds of bills cannot be passed in the future, either.”

Smith said protection of property rights was one of the reasons she entered politics.

“Here in Alberta, as we know, property rights have been an issue of some controversy in recent years. Alberta landowners have been subjected to some of the most regressive property legislation that we’ve every seen conceived.” barb.glen@producer.com

Increasing wolf numbers worry Manitoba producers Predation a concern | Cattle producers call for better control

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Wolves are particularly troublesome in the province’s Interlake, Dauphin and southeastern areas. | FILE PHOTO

GRUNTHAL, Man. — John Meda went to check his cattle one day and found a shocking sight: “A calf’s bleeding? What the hell?” he thought.

The calf’s tail had been torn off; all that remained was a bloody stump.

He knew what did it.

“It was a wolf,” said Meda, who has farmed in the Lonesand area of southeastern Manitoba for more than half a century.

That was two months ago.

He has seen wolf numbers grow in recent years in his woody area near the Ontario and Minnesota borders.

Now he regularly sees groups of two to three wolves prowling the forest

fringes near his cattle. Giving them a good scare has been enough to ward off more injuries.

“Every once in a while, when we know they’re there, we go shoot into the bush and they’ll stay away for a while,” Meda said.

However, he’s worried about what will happen if wolf numbers keep growing and the once-feared predators become a serious problem.

That’s a common concern across Manitoba’s farm country, Manitoba Beef Producers manager Melinda German found out during a province-wide round of district meetings the organization has been conducting.

“It’s a huge issue,” she said during the southeastern regional meeting in Grunthal.

“I expected the water issue (with flooding) to be the big one … this year, but actually it is the wolf issue.”

German said MBP, the provincial ministries of agriculture and conservation and Agriculture Canada formed a working group last year to deal with predator problems, but it has mostly monitored the situation and made modest changes to regulations.

The provincial government appears to realize problems are growing, German said.

“They’re looking at the tables and charts and seeing that there is an increase in the numbers of predators and kills and damage,” she said.

However, she said increased trapping and trapping support workshops are mostly occurring in areas such as Swan River, which aren’t facing the worst problems. The Interlake, Dauphin and the southeast are the hardest hit but aren’t seeing much help.

Meda said four government-supported trappers used to keep wolf numbers in control, but the support is no longer there.

Minnesota has worked hard to reintroduce wolves to the state, and he thinks some of them are now crossing into Manitoba.

Better monitoring, trapping and control are needed to stop wolves becoming a menace again, Meda said. He lost a calf to wolves seven years ago, and he doesn’t want to see that happen again.

“I’ve only lost one calf and I’ve been there more than 50 years.”

LIVESTOCK NUTRITION | ANIMAL HEALTH

Ensuring adequate minerals, vitamins can be balancing act Requirements vary | Forages should be tested to measure mineral content and determine if supplements are required

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A balanced nutrition program is designed around balancing calcium and phosphorus needs along with vitamins and trace minerals.

Sometimes these minerals are chemically antagonistic toward each other and prevent animals from absorbing a particular nutrient.

As well, minerals can be tied up in the fibrous material of the feed.

John McKinnon, beef industry research chair at the University of Saskatchewan, said water with high levels of sulfates may also inhibit the absorption of some trace minerals.

“The availability of these trace minerals in the feed ranges from zero to five percent, depending on the antagonists found in the feed or water,” he said in a Nov. 4 webinar.

It is critical to get the right elements to the cow when it needs it most.

For example, a 600 kilogram cow eating two percent of body weight in the second trimester of pregnancy needs 20 grams of calcium per day.

This increases in the final trimester to 32 grams per day. Cows need 30 to 40 grams per day after calving, depending how much they are milking.

Phosphorus follows the same trend, but the requirements are about half of what is needed compared to calcium. Cows need more phosphorus during lactation.

The typical calcium and phosphorus content of Canadian feed varies, which means forages should be tested. However, probably fewer than half of producers do that.

A legume and grass-legume forage tends to be high in calcium at one to two percent and low in phosphorus at .15 to .25 percent. Additional phosphorus will be needed.

A grass type forage is intermediate in calcium and low in phosphorus. A cereal green feed-barley or corn silage has an intermediate level of calcium but a significantly low amount of phosphorus at .1 to .2 percent.

Cereal grains, especially those used for backgrounding or finishing cattle, are low in calcium and have intermediate levels of phosphorus at .3 to .4 percent.

“In almost all cases, growing rations and finishing rations require some degree of supplementation, whether it is through a loose mineral program or perhaps limestone,” he said.

Magnesium and potassium are essential, but the ratios must be heeded.

Winter tetany can be a problem with forages that have less than .2 percent magnesium or high levels of potassium, especially in fields where manure was applied.

“Potassium is rarely an issue in Canada,” McKinnon said.

“It tends to give us more grief through the high levels rather than a deficiency situation.”

The magnesium requirement for lactating beef cows is .2 percent on a dry matter basis.

Trace minerals Zinc, copper, iodine, cobalt, iron, selenium and manganese are all required, and needs vary.

Requirements are low but necessary and are expressed as milligrams per kg or parts per million.

For example, a 600 kg cow consuming 12 kg of dry matter daily requires daily levels of 120 mg of copper, 360 mg of zinc and 1.2 mg of selenium.

Copper A rough off-colour hair coat, depigmentation or possible cardiac failure may signal a deficiency.

Delayed estrus and/or lower fertility may be observed.

Leg abnormalities and stunted growth in calves can happen.

Copper may not be absorbed if the molybdenum content of feed is less than two mg per kg of dry matter.

Copper availability is also decreased if there is a high concentration of sulfate in the drinking water.

“If you don’t know your situation in terms of molybdenum content in the soil, sulfate levels in your drinking water for the cows, you really don’t now how much copper you will be needing,” McKinnon said.

“We have to come down to local situations and local environment to re a l l y u n d e r s t a n d t h e c o p p e r requirements of your cow. Copper requirements are not static.”

There is also tremendous variability in the type of inorganic minerals and their availability.

Copper oxide is poorly available with probably less than 15 percent available to the animal. Look for sources such as copper sulfate or copper carbonate.

Zinc Z inc deficienc y can result in reduced growth, feed intake, feed efficiency. Bulls may have reduced testicular growth and abnormal sperm production. Skin abnormalities or hoof problems may occur.

Selenium Selenium deficiencies are more obvious and can lead to white muscle disease in calves, poor growth, lameness, reduced immune response and possible retained placentas in cows.

It is only required in low levels. Animals can get through an injection .

Some plants also accumulate selenium. The difference between the requirement and toxicity is narrow.

Behind those volunteers are 8 permanent staff members who work all year long on the execution and planning of activities designed to appeal to a wide range of visitors. What may seem to be a simple task that can be accomplished in a matter of months, Agribition staff work tirelessly all year long, chasing a deadline to open for business a mere 6 days a year. What could possibly be so complicated and require so much time one might ask?

Agribition is comprised of 90 events that take place over 6 days. Just imagine producing 90 weddings in a six-day period.

From napkins, to food, to signage, to parking to stage entertainment. Every detail needs to be checked and re-checked all year long.

The process begins with committee meetings in each event beginning as early as one month after the previous show wraps up. Livestock and Rodeo Manager, Shawna Fuchs, and her extensive support team meet with volunteers, sale managers and suppliers to break down what went well at last year’s event and what can be done to build on and improve on the successes of the past. Every detail from the way a gate swings to how traffic flows through crucial public areas is discussed and improved. The result is months of work and planning to produce a world class livestock event and attracting visitors from around the globe.

When you attend Agribition you are entertained by the various shows and competitions that take place in the Brandt Centre. But did you know they are all organized by just one staff person? That person is Livestock Events Coordinator, Randi Seitz. Randi spends the year planning every detail of the Brandt Centre events from taking registrations to developing the rules to running the actual event. Randi’s role requires extensive communication with the volunteer base, exhibitors and contract acts. From announcers to bullfighters, Randi interacts with them all in some capacity.

The fast paced action of the Brandt Centre can make it a pressure cooker for staff members trying to keep things on schedule and in their respective place. “Coordinating animals and people events is a lot of fun,” notes Randi. “Just when you think things are on the right track, a dog, a sheep or a cow decides they want to throw you a curveball. I love it.”

If you ever tried to reorganize your garage you will appreci-

ate the use of space. Try organizing 13 football fields worth of jewelry, artwork, combines, cattle-handling equipment and just about anything else you would want to gift your Uncle Vinny and Aunt Sally for Christmas. Agribition’s Trade Show Manager, Corey Hoskins, can be found measuring and re-measuring the location of every plug in, floor drain, light switch and fire exit on the property any given month of the year to ensure every exhibitor has the best opportunity to sell their wares. On top of this responsibility, Corey searches for the most entertaining acts to host at the show. From local dance groups to award-winning performers, Corey searches worldwide to provide visitors with an amazing entertainment experience.

Billboards, TV commercials, radio spots, websites, newspaper ads, street banners, social media – advertising opportunities are nearly endless! These are the challenges Marketing Associate, Sarah Novak faces on a daily basis. Throughout the year Sarah is busy designing ads and news releases and also helps plan special event involvement such as I Love Regina Day and Folk Festival. If you like Agribition’s Facebook page or follow @Agribition on Twitter, you may have met Sarah and just didn’t know it.

Every event in a community seems to involve some level of support from various businesses. Agribition is no different.

Behind every banner, sign, coupon, invitation and even the kiss cam is Darryl Ulledal, Sponsorship Manager at Canadian Western Agribition. Sponsorship requires a full year of dedication to meet with clients, assess their needs and develop marketing opportunities for organizations looking to capitalize on Agribition’s 125,000 visitors. Darryl notes, “Every organization has a different need. My job is to help them tell their story as part of our show, and lead them to business opportunities with potential customers.”

Every company needs someone who holds the team together and keeps things organized. Sylvia Boyko, Finance Manager, tracks every nickel and dime that comes in and out of the Agribition office. With 400 volunteers and 200 staff to produce this 6 day event, one can imagine there are a lot of dollars moving around. Adding up time cards, assembling payroll, ordering paper and preparing budgets all land in this busy office. If it has money attached, Sylvia won’t be far behind.

If you have ever visited the Agribition office, you have likely been greeted by Lucy’s smiling face. Lucy Rynor is the Office

Administrator and Executive Assistant to the CEO. With a board of directors of 21 people, Lucy can be found writing meeting notices and minutes and ensuring all the directors know when and where to be. Added to this dynamic load is assisting with the Indigenous Agriculture Summit and coordinating the school program, which brings approximately 6,000 students to the show. On any given day, Lucy can also be found straightening the CEO’s hat and chasing him off to his next meeting. Lucy’s work is never done.

All staff members of Agribition play a significant role in the production of the world-class event, but the talents and skills are brought together by CEO, Marty Seymour. Most of Marty’s days consist of meetings, meetings and meetings.

Aside from managing the politics and relationships associated with an event of national scope, Marty challenges and motivates the staff members on a daily basis to create an event second to none. Accepting responsibility for the entire show takes a lot of organization, trust and hard work.

“Like the coach of a hockey team, my job is to keep everyone aligned on a common goal, and let them put the puck in the net. We have a great team. I am proud of what they do,” says Seymour.

If Agribition is such a complex and dynamic business, why don’t more people know what these 8 mysterious staff do on a day to day basis? It’s simple, Agribition is about no single individual. It’s about everyone pulling in the same direction to create a unique experience for visitors, exhibitors, and competitors.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR | FOOD PRESERVATION

Renewed interest in old-fashioned skills Home canning | Younger generation at the forefront of a trend to bring back home canning techniques

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

TORONTO — Home canning is undergoing a renaissance among a growing number of consumers who want to know what’s in the food they eat.

Entries in the home crafts categories at this year’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair exceeded 400, up from last year, said Peter Hohenadel, the fair’s director of agriculture and food.

Recent additions to the 92-year-old fair include salsa, heritage pickles and jam plus two youth categories for those under age 18.

“There’s a lot more city people entering,” he said, citing trends in fresh, local food.

The fair showcased last year’s champion, a raspberry chocolate jam, by creating 750 jars for purchase.

Gabrielle Marroccoli, a senior food scientist with E.D. Smith Food in Ontario, judged the jams and jellies and found that entrants put a new spin on an old art.

“People are so creative and imaginative and are breathing life into this category,” she said, citing additions of Riesling wine, chocolate liqueur, agave nectars, maple syrup and cinnamon blended with fruit.

There were also beets cut into the shapes of butterflies.

Marroccoli praised the effort and innovation of those who entered.

“You can’t make jam in an hour,” she said.

A blueberry and allspice jam entry was the grand champion at this year’s event, with a raspberry jam picking up the judge’s choice award and a razzle dazzle raspberry jam winning the youth award.

Bernardin sponsored the jam and jelly categories this year, said Emerie Brine, brand manager and executive chef with the home canning company, which has seen annual double

Grotesquely misshapen rutabagas, metres-long carrots and oversized pumpkins were among the strange entries in this year’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto held Nov. 7-16. Food preserves, (shown below), trade shows, cooking classes, as well as cattle, horse and goat shows were featured in addition to rabbit jumping, sheep herding and beekeeping. For more photos from the Royal, see Page 20. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTOS digit growth during the last decade.

Brine, who conducts canning workshops in Canada, has seen the most interest among 20 to 40 year olds, most of whom are females.

“Not their mothers but their grandparents did it and they want to bring that back,” he said.

“They’re very interested in local food, sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint.… Folks want to know what they’re feeding their families and want to control the ingredients.”

Many have gardens or buy locally.

“If they purchase from the farmer, the money stays in the region,” said Brine.

Saskatchewan home economist and food writer Sarah Galvin said home canners must carefully follow reliable recipes, such as those provided by Bernardin.

She warned against preserving low acid food with the water bath method.

“You have to put it through the water bath process if fruit or higher acid food because you have to force out all the air so there are no air bubbles in there,” she said.

Throw away preserved products if the lids are bulging or easily pop open.

Galvin said the popularity of TV cooking shows and novel and gourmet food flavours are behind home canning’s popularity, citing her own success selling out of her sea buckthorn, apricot and haskap jams at the local farmers market.

She said home canning comes with a cost, citing the processing and storage equipment needed to do it. karen.morrison@producer.com

WILDLIFE CONSERVATION | 4-H NATIONAL MEMBERS FORUM

Conservation program targets species at risk Earth Rangers educate students across the country

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODBRIDGE, Ont. — Young people who have close encounters with the natural world are more likely to protect it, say Earth Rangers Centre staff.

4-H members recently got a chance to experience this as they toured the conservation centre. During the tour, Finigan the bald eagle patiently perched and Hudson the Eurasian lynx hopped onto the table in search of treats.

“Kids really respond to seeing an animal close up,” said Lori Marier of the Earth Rangers.

“They have an innate connection with the animal and really want to do something to help.”

Riley Coppock of the Paintearth 4-H Beef Club at Castor, Alta., who was among the 4-H members attending the 4-H National Members Forum, said recycling and efficient use of energy and resources are ways to sustain animal habitats.

“Nothing is going to last forever, and we’ve got to preserve it,” he said.

The Earth Rangers program chooses four Canadian species at risk every year and develops educational programming to create awareness about them. It encourages students to become involved in its Bring Back the Wild Program by doing fundraising to support projects that protect them.

This year’s animals are the bobolink, western screech owl, swift fox and eastern wolf.

The centre, which opened in 2004, operates with private and public funds and has 40 staff members. Staff travels across the country to give school presentations with a wide assortment of animal ambassadors.

Scott Tarof, the centre’s science adviser, said the program outreach is intended to get people interested in wildlife protection globally.

“We try to produce good science content, educate kids about diversity loss, the type of homes animals need to survive and things we can do to protect them,” he said.

Nicole Allan, a Grade 6 teacher at Portage La Prairie, Man., called the presentation a good start for delving deeper into endangered species and what can be done.

“It’s a good tie-in with the curriculum and gets them thinking,” she said. “They understood they’re endangered because of factors in the world affecting their ability to live.”

Allan said students were awed by

an owl soaring across the school gym to perch on the basketball net.

“They have that memory forever,” she said.

Former conservation officer Randy Nelson of Kamloops, B.C., who wrote Poachers, Polluters and Politics, called classroom sessions with wildlife officers and biologists a valuable way to educate children.

“Involving youth is the best way to try change the way we use our resources in the future,” he said.

He cited other examples of successful programs, including Ducks Unlimited’s Green Wing Program.

British Columbia’s Salmonids in the Classroom program allows Grade 4 or 5 students to monitor a 30 gallon aquarium with fertilized coho salmon eggs from a hatchery.

The children can watch the development of the fish and release them into a local stream when they are large enough.

Nelson recalled a comment by a repeat salmon poacher who was asked what it would take to make him stop fishing illegally. He said he would “if my 12-year-old daughter told me to stop.”

Added Nelson: “I feel one of the best ways to change bad habits of adults is by their children teaching them.”

He said family fishing days, hunting and visits to provincial and national parks were other ways to connect with nature.

Nelson learned to appreciate animals on the Hallonquist, Sask., farm where he was raised.

“I remember my father stopping the tractor any time he saw a duck nest to relocate it or work around it,” he said.

“Not everyone does that, but those that do should be commended.”

EARTH RANGERS | WORKSHOPS

Labs illustrate link between science, healthy environment

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODBRIDGE, Ont. — A new chemistry workshop for elementary schoolchildren is showing the role science plays in protecting the environment.

The 45 minute We Dig Soil workshops that BASF developed will be presented to 800 grades 4 to 6 students

in 30 western rural schools this fall.

Christina Stroud of BASF said the lab includes an “Earth as an apple” demonstration to illustrate how much land is available for agriculture and a hands-on activity to demonstrate how soil acts as a filter.

“Rural communities have a strong connection to agriculture, so delivering BASF kids’ labs provides an excellent opportunity to educate children

about the science behind agriculture,” she said.

The labs, which have been delivered in 16 countries, help children explore the world of chemistr y through experiments designed to foster an interest in science as a hobby and career.

The Earth Rangers Centre presents the labs for BASF while also delivering its own conservation message.

Scott Tarof, Earth Rangers science adviser, said the centre offers multifaceted conservation education.

“We educate kids about conservation, we educate adults about green building techniques and stewardship,” he said.

“The purpose of educational outreach is to educate but also to get people involved, engaged and working together as a national and global

community to try to protect animals.”

The centre in Woodbridge features a green roof, skylights, geothermal heating and cooling systems, solar panels, waste-water management and recycled flooring materials. It also houses wildlife ranging from bald eagles to lynx, which serve as animal ambassadors in the centre’s conservation presentations across Canada and on YTV.

Alpacas help family teach value of work ethic Life lessons | Children take on most of the work caring for 24 alpacas on the Saskatchewan grain farm

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

OSAGE, Sask. — It all started with a pair of mittens.

Six years after buying hand-knit alpaca mittens at a trade fair and falling in love with the warmth and feel, Glenda Shotter is now knitting her own.

Shotter and her husband, Tim, began building an alpaca herd in 1998, eventually expanding it to 24.

“I just love the gentle nature of the alpaca,” said Glenda.

The Shotters, who operate a 3,500acre grain farm, decided to raise alpacas with their four young boys in mind. Tim grew up on a Saskatchewan grain farm, learning the value of a strong work ethic.

“I always wanted to be a farmer because of the freedom of being your own boss,” said Tim. The alpaca herd was added into the farming mix to help give the four Shotter boys a work ethic.

“The boys have to do a majority of the chores and so it teaches them both how to behave around the animals and how to be responsible for something other than themselves,” said Tim. Because alpacas are relatively small and easy to handle, Glenda

“The kids do 70 percent of the chores and I don’t have to worry at all because the alpacas are so gentle,”

said Glenda.

The four Shotter boys, aged 10, 8, 6 and 5, have become expert alpaca handlers, showing the animals as

part of 4-H projects and at Saskatchewan alpaca events. Glenda said her boys have been involved with the alpacas since they were small, so handling them is now second nature.

“I’ve seen the kids become a lot more confident and the shows have allowed them to meet new people and gain lots of experience,” she said.

Alpacas are raised for their fibre, which is the second warmest natural fibre behind polar bear, and is the second strongest next to silk. It’s also known for its low absorption of moisture and high wickability, which add up to a fibre ideally suited for cold Canadian winters.

Glenda sheers her alpacas once a year, hiring an Ontario shearer every spring. A Saskatchewan-certified expert grades the fleece, with fleece from the young alpacas being the most prized. Each animal yields one to three kilograms of fleece, which Glenda sends to mills in New Brunswick and Alberta to be spun.

Glenda buys most of her alpaca products from other producers to sell under the Creekside Alpaca banner at trade shows. Her products range from hats, scarves, mittens and socks to loom-woven blankets made in

New Brunswick using the fibre from Creekside Alpacas.

“Ideally, I want to be selling mostly my own product made from our alpaca fibre, but I’ll always import some items,” said Glenda.

Alpaca numbers have increased in Saskatchewan over the last two decades. As secretary of the Saskatchewan Alpaca Breeders Network, Glenda said the hope is that the industry continues to grow in the province so that a local mill can be established.

SABN has 26 members, most of whom raise alpacas as part of a larger farming operation or as a hobby.

“Anybody who is looking for something different to raise, especially people with young families or those who live on acreages, alpacas are the perfect animal,” said Glenda.

Alpacas require minimal handling and are good for small pasture areas, noting that her two horses eat as much in one week as 30 alpacas eat over the same time period.

“All you really need is a good field fence around the per imeter, a source of water and a simple shelter to keep them out of the wind, rain and snow.”

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

M

uffins are easy to make, nutritious, convenient and a popular breakfast, lunch or coffee companion.

There are two easy methods for making tender, light, flavourful muffins: the muffin method and the cream method.

The muffin method mixes together the liquid ingredients — the milk, juice, egg, flavouring and melted butter or oil —in a small bowl with a wire whisk. The sugar is added to dissolve in the liquid.

The dry ingredients — flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices — are mixed in a larger bowl.

The liquid ingredients are poured into a well made in the dry ingredients and mixed just enough to form a lumpy batter, using a spoon or spatula. Fruit or berries are gently folded in, and the batter is immediately placed into muffin tins and baked.

The cream method creams together softened butter and sugar with a mixer. The eggs are added one at a time and mixed well.

All of the dry ingredients are combined and mixed together in a separate bowl.

The liquid ingredients are mixed in a third container.

The dry and liquid ingredients are added to the butter-sugar mixture alternately, one-third at a time, and mixed with a spoon or spatula, just until combined.

It is essential not to over mix the batter in either method or the muffins will be tough with tunnels and a pronounced peak.

The oven should be preheated a few degrees higher than the baking temperature.

The temperature is reduced to the actual baking temperature when muffins are put in the oven.

The higher heat causes an initial burst of steam that lifts the batter.

Adjust the oven racks before preheating to place the muffins in the upper third of the oven, where the heat tends to be higher and more constant.

Prepare the muffin pans before mixing the batters.

Use oil or non-stick spray to coat the muffin cups and use a small piece of paper towel to coat the corners and top edges.

You can also use parchment paper muffin liners, which easily slip off the muffins after baking. Use a large

GENETIC DISORDER | TRIMETHYLAMINURIA

Genetic condition can lead to depression, social isolation HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

You mentioned trimethylaminuria in a recent column, in which you discussed diseases that give smelly side-effects.

I had that disease in the 1970s and now again this past year. The doctor gave me antibiotics for one week, which seemed to work ,but it has returned. It seems to clear when I cut out coffee and chocolate. Can you help?

A:

Trimethylaminuria is a rare genetic disorder, and we don’t know how many people it affects.

It is a recessive gene, which means it has to be present, although hidden, in both sides of the family. Relatives may carry the gene without any

symptoms, you may not be aware of anyone else in the family having it.

It seems more common in women, but perhaps that is because they are more likely to notice the unpleasant smell. The odour, which resembles rotten fish, is noticeable in breath, sweat and urine. It can interfere with many aspects of daily life, affecting a person’s relationships, social life and career.

Some people with trimethylaminuria will suffer from depression and social isolation as a result. The smell varies in intensity, partly depending

on the person’s diet. Stress may also play a part.

Mutations in the FMO3 gene are to blame for trimethylaminuria.

The gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that breaks down nitrogen-containing compounds from the diet, including trimethylamine. This substance is produced by bacteria in the intestine during the digestion of proteins found in eggs, liver, legumes and certain kinds of fish. Try to avoid these foods.

The FMO3 enzyme usually converts the unpleasant smelling tri-

methylamine into another molecule, which has no odour.

However, trimethylamine is not processed properly and can build up in the body if the enzyme is missing or its activity is reduced because of a mutation in the FMO3 gene. The excess is then excreted in a person’s sweat, urine and breath.

There is no permanent cure, but you should be able to control symptoms if you are careful with your diet.

IN THE SHOW RING | PREPARATION

Attention to detail pays off in show ring Perfect presentation | An animal’s best characteristics are brought to the forefront with glue and hair spray

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — An old saying in the show cattle business says that there is a fine hair that splits first and second place.

Rod McLeod didn’t leave anything to chance and hired a team of young cattle fitters to ensure every hair was in place on his Charolais show cattle at Farmfair International.

“Us older guys just need to get out of the way because they really are masters of their craft,” McLeod said while waiting to lead a bull into the ring during the Charolais show.

“These young kids are exceptional.”

McLeod may be the face behind the Charolais string, but behind him is a crew of cattle fitters clipping, blow drying and primping the animals to ensure his cattle look like stars when they enter the ring.

“Presenting the animal is the finishing touch to everything we do. It gives you the best opportunity to catch the judge’s eye,” he said McLeod hired eight fitters to get the farm’s nine show cattle ready for the show ring.

“I don’t do any fitting. We just organize it to make sure there is enough help.”

McLeod said the good, young cattle fitters have all come through the 4-H and youth cattle shows and gradually learned how to clip and fit cattle. His daughter, Megan can travel to a dozen shows during the summer, gaining practice with each show.

“I attribute it to just shows. They get so much practice. Us older people don’t go to all these shows and don’t get the practice,” he said.

McLeod looks at the entry list in the days before a show and estimates how long each class of the show will take and when his crew needs to begin the final fitting.

The process starts hours earlier, with the crew getting to the barns between 4 and 6 a.m. to feed, wash and blow dry the animals.

Chase Miller, 18, one of the hired fitters, said he blow dries the cattle once the animals are washed and then starts to “work the hair” to make it stand in the right direction. This allows the hair to be trimmed and clipped into the ideal shape.

Miller has travelled to the U.S. to learn how to fit cattle, but he’s also been fitting his own family’s show cattle for 10 years and knows the importance of fitters.

“It could mean winning the show.

It’s why we get paid to do this,” he said while clipping a bull in McLeod’s show string.

A fitter is paid about $100 an animal. On this day, Miller has worked on 16 head.

“They hire you on your reputation, your work ethic, your attitude and

your ability to actually do it,” said Miller. He doesn’t think he wants to be a full-time cattle fitter but enjoys the job now.

“You can make a living at it, but it’s hard on your body. You’re down on your knees and breathing in glue and paint. It’s not healthy,” said Miller.

Once the cattle are washed and dried, the crew starts gluing hair into place, starting with the tail head and legs and creating the illusion of straight lines and perfect bone structure, said Riley Chalack of Carstairs, Alta., who has also fitted cattle for years.

“You keep fitting until the show is rolling,” said Chalack, part of the team working on McLeod’s cattle.

“Every day at the show, I am helping somebody.”

Kolby Heaven of Whitecourt, Alta., tries to keep a steady hand as he trims hair.

“We want to blend everything in together and take out the bumps and make sure it is nice and straight from the tail head to the shoulder,” he said.

“No animal is perfect, but we take the best characteristics of the animal and enhance them. We want the top looking straight and the back wide.”

Heaven said he has developed his skills through practice and patience.

“It’s trial and error. You watch the guys who are good and try and mimic them,” said Heaven, who admits to the odd wreck when the animal has jumped or coughed.

“We’ve put the odd gouge in one.

Mistakes are more common than

Megan McLeod said fitting cattle is the most enjoyable part of a show.

“It’s great to sculpt the hair and look at your end product and be very proud of it,” she said after winning the class with a bull calf.

“Young fitters put their own signature on the fitting process and enhance what they have learned from everyone else.”

She credits her father and brother for passing down their skills and allowing her to practise on the fami-

ly’s cattle. She said she picked out cattle from the pasture and started to clip and fit.

“Some didn’t look very good at the beginning,” she added. mary.macarthur@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING | ASSESSMENT

Transport panel reviews problems Talks with ag stakeholders | The next set of consultations will be with ag shippers

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A federally appointed panel in charge of reviewing the Canadian Transportation Act is expected to complete its preliminary round of consultations within the next few weeks.

Murad Al Katib, one of six people appointed to the panel, said preliminary consultations with a variety of agricultural stakeholders has already taken place.

Al Katib, president of Alliance Grain Traders, said he has met over the past two or three months with grain growers, commodity groups, elevator companies, railways companies and producer car program administrators across the Prairies.

“It’s been a very exhaustive start to the review process on the grain side,” said Al Katib, who is leading CTA consultations with agricultural stakeholders.

“The consistent message that we’re getting is that there were a lot of problems last year.”

The CTA review is billed as an arm’s length process aimed at assessing federal rail and transportation regulations to ensure they are meeting industry needs and supporting economic growth.

The review process is headed by David Emerson, a former bank executive and parliamentarian whose four-year career as an MP and federal cabinet minister included stints as minister of industry, minister of international trade and minister of foreign affairs from 2004-08.

The review will pay specific attention to transportation issues affecti n g t h e C a n a d i a n a g r i c u l t u re industry.

Panel members have been asked to provide preliminary feedback to transport minister Lisa Raitt’s office before the end of the year, based on discussions with agricultural stakeholders.

“Agriculture is certainly a priority and it was outlined by minister Raitt in the (review’s) terms of reference,” said Al Katib, “We have a target to provide preliminary feedback to the minister before the end of the calendar year and we’ve also made it clear to agricultural shippers and producer groups that they’re also going to have a second round of consultations that will allow them in the spring to give us their views after the winter (shipping season).”

Nathan Gordon, a member of the CTA review secretariat, said individuals and organizations not included in face-to-face consultations are welcome to make submissions before Dec. 30.

After a second round of consultations with agricultural shippers next spring, a final report containing recommendations for regulatory and legislative improvements will be submitted to the federal government

by Dec. 24, 2015.

Agricultural shippers in Western Canada are hoping that the review process will produce a regulatory environment that results in more predictable rail service and demands greater accountability from Canada’s major railway companies.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan will make a

joint submission to the CTA review, along with Saskatchewan commodity groups, said APAS president Norm Hall.

The joint submission will include organizations that represent wheat, barley and pulse growers and possibly others, he said.

It will emphasize the unique transportation challenges that affect agricultural shippers in Saskatchewan and will focus on concerns that are unique to producers as opposed to elevator companies and other industry groups.

“Saskatchewan has a number of unique points that need to be ad-

dressed,” said Hall.

“For example, we have the most short lines of any province, so therefore we are loading the most producer cars. We also have the largest number of producer car loading sites outside of short lines.

“What we are looking at is specifically an ag voice as opposed to other industry groups such as … grain handlers and so on. This will be a producer specific voice for Saskatchewan.”

WTO RULES | LABELLING CHALLENGE

ROUNDUP READY WHEAT | UNAPPROVED CROP

Mexico may seek hefty retaliation over COOL

Monsanto settles farmer lawsuit on GM

Meat labelling laws have cost Mexico ‘hundreds of millions,’ says official WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Mexico would seek “hundreds of millions” of dollars in trade retaliation against the United States if Washington does not change meat labelling laws, a Mexican official has said.

The World Trade Organization ruled last month that the U.S. had failed to bring its meat labelling regulations fully in line with international fair trading rules after a complaint by Mexico and Canada.

The ruling would be a step toward potential retaliation if packaging laws are not changed.

Canada estimates U.S. rules that require retailers to list the countryof-origin on meat cost its farmers and processors $1 billion a year in lost sales and lower prices. It has warned it would pursue all available remedies.

Studies on the damage to Mexico had not yet been finalized but would run into the “hundreds of millions,” the Mexican official said Nov. 11. This could take total retaliation from Canada and Mexico to as much as $2 billion.

“Neither Mexico nor Canada will accept anything less than a full solution,” said the official, who is familiar with the WTO case and who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Acceptable options include scrapping the labelling law and replacing labels such as “Born in Mexico, Raised and Slaughtered in the United States” with a generic “North American” source, the official said.

The U.S. has said it may appeal the decision on country-of-origin labelling, and in that case a final WTO ruling is likely between next April and June.

Under WTO rules, retaliation is linked to the level of damage done by the offending actions, with the exact amount worked out in negotiation with the parties.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association said COOL forced Canadian and Mexican cattle to be segregated, adding costs along the supply chain.

“For the U.S. to come into compliance, it has to make a legislative change, and that legislative change has to be significant enough to eliminate the need to segregate,” said CCA counsel Edward Farrell.

John Murphy, U.S. Chamber of Commerce senior vice-president for international policy, said Congress should act soon to make sure the relevant sections of the law could be quickly rescinded once the WTO made its final ruling.

Advocates would be looking for opportunities to get such provisions before Congress this year or early next year, he said, noting there would be funding bills that must come up for a vote before the end of the year.

Experimental wheat disrupts market | Company to pay farmers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho (Reuters) — Monsanto has reached a settlement with U.S. wheat farmers who sued it over market disruption after unapproved genetically modified wheat was discovered growing without oversight in Oregon.

Monsanto’s Roundup Ready wheat, which was never approved by U.S. regulators and which the company said it stopped testing a decade ago, was found growing in an Oregon farmer’s field last year. The company had said all the experimental grain was destroyed or stored away.

South Korea and Japan temporarily halted purchases of U.S. wheat after

$2.125 MILLION WILL GO TO FARMERS WHO SOLD SOFT WHEAT IN 2013 the announcement on fears the unapproved wheat might have contaminated U.S. wheat supplies.

Monsanto did not admit liability but agreed to pay $100,000 to the National Wheat Foundation and $50,000 each to the Washington Association of

Wheat Growers, the Oregon Wheat Growers’ League and the Idaho Grain Producers’ Association.

It will also pay $2.125 million into a settlement fund for farmers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho who sold soft white wheat between May 30 and Nov. 30, 2013.

Monsanto will reimburse plaintiffs’ counsel for a portion of their out-ofpocket costs and fees associated with the litigation.

At least three class action lawsuits will be dismissed as part of the settlement, but the company said it does not resolve pending claims by grow-

ers of wheat other than the soft white variety.

Monsanto still faces scrutiny over its GM wheat after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said in September there had been a second discovery of unapproved Monsanto wheat. It was found growing at a Montana State University research facility in Huntley, Mont., where field trials were conducted from 2000-03.

There is no commercially approved GM wheat, although Monsanto and several other companies are trying to develop GM varieties of the grain.

ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE | HEALTH CANADA REGULATIONS

Health Canada to address antibiotic overuse, misuse Stricter rules on feed, medicine | Action plan includes removal of growth promotion claims

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FILE PHOTO

Development of antimicrobial resistant bacteria can be discouraged through practices that reduce the need for such treatments, combined with prudent use when required: • Follow label and/or veterinary instructions and give proper dose.

• Choose the right product to treat the condition and proper route of delivery (oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous).

• Administer the drug for the proper number of days.

• Properly dispose of expired

product, empty containers and used needles.

• Follow biosecurity practices to reduce spread of infection among animals.

• Prevent stress on animals, which can weaken immune systems and increase the reliance on antimicrobials.

Health Canada’s plan to address antimicrobial resistance has implications for animal agriculture that have yet to be clarified.

Released in late October, the federal framework for action against antim i c ro b i a l re s i s t a n c e c a l l s f o r strengthening regulations on veterinary medicines and medicated feeds, which includes strengthening veterinary oversight and phasing out growth promotion claims on some animal drugs.

Dr. Reynold Bergen of the Beef Cattle Research Council said the latter directive, when implemented, would affect only three products used in beef cattle: tetracycline, neomycin and sulfamethazine. None are widely used in human medicine.

That is a key point because antimicrobial use in animal agriculture is suspected of contributing to the development of antimicrobial resis-

THE MULTI VITAMIN FOR YOUR CROP Prre em miu ium Star St r ter St te er Fe Fert erttil iliz ili izer izer er

tant bacteria that can affect human health, leaving few or no alternatives for treatment.

Bacteria naturally develop antimicrobial resistance, but overuse and misuse of antibiotics, in both human and animal medicine, are thought to increase the speed of their development.

“Additional contributors of antimicrobial resistance include using antibiotics when they are not needed, not taking antibiotics as prescribed, self-medicating or antibiotic sharing, as well as the long-term mass medication of food animals with antibiotics to promote growth or prevent illness,” Health Canada said when announcing its plan.

Bergen said the directive to remove growth promotion claims would not apply to ionophores used in cattle because they are not used in human medicine.

Removal of growth promotion claims won’t necessarily prevent producers from using them for that purpose, although it would be an offlabel use.

Rob McNabb, general manager of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said there are no “drug police” when it comes to livestock, but offlabel use of veterinary products does contravene regulations.

“The products will not be made available unless they are for the purpose of treatment,” McNabb said about the way he sees the directive taking shape.

“It sends the message that we want to follow, and we are going to contribute to, prudent use and contribute to the reduction of antimicrobial resistance where we can and where it does apply to us.”

That said, livestock are not huge contributors to the problem of antimicrobial resistance, McNabb added.

“We’re hardly even on the page, but unfortunately we get painted with the same brush as everybody else when it comes to food-producing animals and the use of these products.”

The Health Canada strategy includes plans for increased veterinary oversight of antimicrobial use in food animals. McNabb said he doesn’t think that will affect producers’ access to needed treatments.

“I’d like to think not, as long as that oversight doesn’t require the veterinarians to actually administer the product, which I believe is what happens in the European Union.”

The Health Canada framework doesn’t provide detail on increased oversight.

“I do suspect that it does mean that a veterinarian has to be involved in at least prescribing the product, and I

FOCUS OF STRATEGY Health Canada’s action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance has four priority action items relating to both human and animal agriculture: • Establish and strengthen surveillance systems.

• Strengthen the promotion of appropriate use of antimicrobials.

• Work with partners to strengthen the regulatory framework for veterinary medicines and medicated feeds.

• Promote innovation in research and development of new antimicrobial drugs and alternatives, new diagnostic tests and ways to counteract development and spread of resistance.

The framework also has three strategic areas of focus: • Surveillance: Detecting and monitoring trends and threats in the area of antimicrobial resistance.

• Stewardship: Conserving effectiveness of existing treatments by preventing infection and providing education and oversight.

• Innovation: Finding new solutions to counteract loss of antimicrobial effectiveness.

certainly have less issue with that than I would if a veterinarian had to administer it, because then we would run into the issue of access of the service.,” he said.

“If that’s where it’s heading, then I think that’s worth exploring.”

The area of seeking alternatives to veterinary medications and medicated feeds included more emphasis on biosecurity and prevention.

However, there are no drug alternatives to antimicrobials at present.

Research is ongoing into probiotics and prebiotics, but a new animal health product hasn’t been released in years.

McNabb said Canada’s initiatives to curb antimicrobial resistance are parallel to those announced in the United States earlier this year.

McNabb said he thinks putting the framework into action will be a complex process because it will involve public health as well as animal health.

“It will include consultations and discussions, and we hope that it’s not ad nauseum, but the fact is that’s what we expect will happen, is that nothing will change until there’s been some consultation at all levels and that includes with the (livestock) industry itself.” barb.glen@producer.com

WTO expects global trade pact with end to India-U.S. impasse Deal will streamline customs rules | The U.S. agreed to allow India to stockpile food despite WTO rules on agricultural subsidies BRISBANE, Australia (Reuters) — The World Trade Organization believes there is a “high probability” that a major deal on streamlining global customs rules will be implemented by the end of the month.

The new optimism was the result of India and the United States overcoming a key impasse.

“I would say that we have a high probability that the Bali package will be implemented very shortly,” WTO director-general Roberto Azevedo said, referring to the Trade Facilitation Agreement agreed on the Indonesian island.

“I’m hopeful that we can do it in a very short period of time, certainly within the next two weeks,” said Azevedo.

India and the U.S. settled a dispute Nov. 13 that had paralyzed the WTO and risked derailing the reforms, which are seen adding US$1 trillion to global trade.

India had plunged the WTO into the deepest crisis of its 20-year history in July by vetoing a deal on streamlined customs rules because of a lack of progress on its demands to be allowed to stockpile food without observing the usual WTO rules on agricultural subsidies.

That put the WTO’s future in doubt just months after it appeared to have overcome decades of stalemate on the issue at a meeting in Bali.

The breakthrough was the second at the WTO in as many days, following a U.S.-China pact to cut tariffs on IT products, also billed as a $1 trillion increase in trade.

The U.S.-Indian deal is likely to be hailed as a victory for Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, who has stressed the importance of ensuring that its 1.25 billion people have enough to eat.

Modi appears to have avoided the danger that his tough stance would isolate him at his first G20 summit of world leaders, which was scheduled for last weekend.

The compromise deal included no major revision of the original WTO deal struck last December, which provided for India’s food stockpiling to be shielded from legal challenge by a “peace clause.”

A food security law passed by India’s last government expanded the number of people entitled to

receive cheap food grains to 850 million.

In a recent disclosure to the WTO, India said its state food procurement cost $13.8 billion in 2010-11, part of the total of $56.1 billion it spends on farm support.

Wheat stocks, at 30 million tonnes, are more than double official target levels.

Forage industry leader recognized Wayne Digby praised for work at Manitoba Forage Council LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Wayne Digby, former executive director of the Manitoba Forage Council, has received the Canadian Forage and Grassland Association’s leadership award.

He was announced as the winner Nov. 13.

In a news release, the association said Digby played a critical role in establishing the national association as well as providing leadership to the Manitoba Forage Council.

Digby was executive director of the MFC from 2008-11 and held the same title with the CFGA from 2010-13.

He worked with forage and grass-

land organizations, livestock groups and government departments in establishing the CFGA, which became the voice for Canada’s forage and grasslands sector.

“He was responsible for all aspects of developing and managing the organization, including working with a Canada-wide and industrywide board of directors, staff management, communications and financial management,” the association said.

He also worked for six years as a consultant on community and industry projects and was extension program manager for a CanadaUkraine farm program.

RESEARCH | BROILER CHICKENS

Gene selection produces bigger birds Antibiotics or growth hormones not involved

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Broiler chickens are several times larger than those from the 1950s, and the reason is simple: genetics.

Martin Zuidhof of the University of Alberta did a study in 2005, when he was still with Alberta Agriculture, that compared breeds from 1957, 1978 and 2005. He and his team raised these three lines from hatching eggs to 56 days old.

“There was no difference in the feed they were given,” he said.

“We gave them all the same environmental conditions, the same litter and same access to water. You name it, it was identical.”

Pictures were taken at the end of every week to show the changes between the three lines. The 2005 line was much larger than the other two, which he said is because of genetics.

“We know that people don’t really trust or understand why chickens grow so fast,” he said.

“This is a way to show off that if the only thing that’s different between the groups of birds that we grow is their genetics, then we can clearly demonstrate that it’s not antibiotic feeding or growth hormones.”

Hank Classen, a professor in the University of Saskatchewan animal and poultry science department, agreed.

“It relates primarily to the short generation intervals between chickens,” he said. “We can select the best really quickly. It makes good progress for selecting chickens.”

Added Zuidhof: “We don’t see that same kind of progress in swine or beef because they don’t reach sexual maturity as fast and don’t have as many offspring.”

Karen Schwean-Larder, a professor of poultry science at the U of S, also agreed.

“Chickens have amazing genetic potential, and the groups that work in this area focus their energies on harvesting these potentials. The results have been amazing.”

All three professors said the changes in growth have nothing to do with growth hormones.

“I think people don’t want to change their opinion on how chickens are raised,” Zuidhof said. “ I f y o u u n d e r s t a n d h ow t h i s evolved over time, it’s not bizarre.”

Classen said selecting genes that make chickens grow larger is like a plant breeder making the best selections so they can get an increased yield.

“The sophistication of the breeding industry is very high,” he said.

Zuidhof said mistakes were made 20 to 30 years ago when chickens were selected just because they could grow fast and didn’t consider their ability to support their weight.

That has changed, he added.

“The way broilers are selected now really has made for a robust and healthy animal.” robyn.tocker@producer.com

Scientists select chickens with faster growth rates, efficient feed conversions and strong disease immunity to produce larger birds. |

GM DEBATE | SAFETY

FOOD SECURITY | AID

Battles over ‘settled’ GMO science spur new study Iraq must (Reuters) — Global biotech crop developers are spreading the word that science is solidly on their side when it comes to the safety of their genetically modified grain.

The message of “settled” science has become the rallying cry for defenders of genetic modification as they push back against consumers, environmentalists and lawmakers who want the crops labelled, restricted or banned.

“We believe the science is settled,” said Andrew LaVigne, chief executive officer of the American Seed Trade Association.

However, critics of the products say that is not the last word on the issue.

Some international scientists are

challenging the assertion and say many scientific studies show concerns with crops whose DNA has been spliced in ways not seen in nature.

Research to cost millions A group with backing from institutions in Russia, the United States and Europe recently said it would undertake the longest, largest and most definitive study of GMOs to try to settle the debate once and for all.

The US$25 million study of 6,000 rats to be fed a GMO corn diet is designed as an independent examination of the health impacts of GM

corn and the herbicide used on it.

The research is to be done in Russia and Western Europe over two to three years.

“The science on these GMOs is not settled by a long shot,” said Bruce Blumberg, an endocrinology expert at the University of California, Irvine, who sits on the study review board.

“Studies that were done by the manufacturers are the main ones showing safety, and those have an inherent conflict of interest.”

Monsanto, the leading developer of GM crops, has stacks of research underscoring the safety of its products.

Many U.S. university scientists also

back the safety of GMOs, as does the U.S. government.

Karen Bart, a spokesperson for the Biotechnology Industry Organization, says “merely a handful of studies” point to health or safety issues, and all have been debunked.

Still, the debate rages on. Some biotech crop critics worry about pesticide residues in GM foods, while others worry about how the crops affect the environment.

“The claim that there is a consensus among scientists that GM food products are safe ... is simply a PR campaign sponsored by the industry,” said Dave Schubert of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego, Calif.

CAIRO, Egypt (Reuters) — International donors who want to address Iraq’s deepening food insecurity must help farmers salvage next year’s wheat harvest as well as feed displaced people, says the United Nations.

Cyril Ferrand, who co-ordinates efforts for the UN’s World Food Programme and Food and Agriculture Organization in Iraq, said the prospect is not starvation tomorrow but rather a drastic drop in food production that would hit Iraq hard in next summer’s harvest season and beyond.

He said the aid community is “racing against time” as two critical periods overlap: the winter months and the end of the wheat planting season.

Iraq relied on imports to cover half its wheat demand, even before the Islamic State advance. The FAO estimates the country imported 2.7 million tonnes of wheat from July 2013 to June 2014.

The government bought 3.4 million tonnes of wheat from farmers in the last harvest before the Islamic State offensive, but 17 percent of that amount is now in Islamic State-controlled silos, according to the FAO. The UN says 2.8 million people need food assistance before the end of April. More than half of them are displaced.

Ferrand said the WFP needs $70 million to keep food aid flowing, while the FAO needs $38.5 million to deliver seeds and fertilizers to farmers before the end of the wheat planting season next month.

Islamic State militants drove hundreds of thousands of farming families off their fertile farmland and into camps in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region.

“A large number of farmers have fled their fields ... but we must make sure that those who remained and can access their land are able to plant,” said Ferrand.

He said a recent survey in a government-controlled part of Nineveh province found that farmers face an income gap, either because they have unsold wheat or because they were not paid for wheat delivered to state silos before the militant offensive.

“It’s difficult for donors at the moment to make a decision,” Ferrand said. “You need to save lives for winter and we are telling them the impact will be in June.”

CALIFORNIA WATER | IRRIGATION PROJECT

Environmentalists oppose $19 billion water tunnel under Sacramento River Delta SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) — California farmers would pay more to irrigate their crops under a proposal to build tunnels under the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta to funnel water to the state’s agricultural breadbasket.

The analysis released by state treasurer Bill Lockyer said regional water suppliers and the farmers who buy

water from them would be able to handle the increased costs, even though the price of water could more than double once the price of paying for the project is included.

“The cost of the Delta conveyance facility is within the range of urban and agricultural users’ capacity to pay,” said the report commissioned by the California Debt and Invest-

ment Advisory Commission.

Environmentalists have strongly opposed the project, saying it would endanger fish and wildlife in the already fragile delta, which supplies water to 25 million people along with farms in the San Joaquin Valley and other parts of the state.

The project, now expected to cost $19 billion, is backed by Democratic

governor Jerry Brown as well as Republicans who represent the agricultural region, which has suffered from the state’s ongoing drought.

However, Democrats have tried to block the project, citing cost and environmental concerns.

Water agencies would sell bonds to pay for the tunnels and likely pass the cost of the debt on to customers. The

state would fund an additional $7.8 billion, also through the sale of bonds, for environmental restoration in the delta.

Blue Sky Consulting Group, which wrote the report, said farmers and communities could handle the increased costs of servicing the debt, but some farmers would have to switch to more-profitable crops.

CLIMATE CHANGE | WATER USE

Brewers replacing barley with less thirsty cassava Efficient water use | Alcoholic drink manufacturer Diageo Plc. is pleased the root can be sourced locally SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Wine and beer lovers face an uncertain future.

Climate change is a distant consideration for many global businesses, but grapes and grains are on the front line.

The good news for those who like a tipple is that alcoholic drink makers are among businesses leading the way in devising technology to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Gradual paucity of water for grapevines and barley is high on the agenda of companies, including the world’s second-largest listed vintner by market value, Treasury Wine Estates Ltd., and the world’s biggest alcoholic drink maker, Diageo Plc. “It’s something we are focused on,” said Stuart McNab, Treasury’s chief supply officer.

“It’s treating water as a scarce and precious resource.”

Alcoholic drink makers have faced drought and water shortages in recent years in the United States, Britain and Africa and both drought and flooding in Australia.

Treasury, whose brands include Penfolds, Beringer, Wolf Blass and Rosebank, is testing watering pipes laid beneath the soil because rising temperatures mean too much water is lost above ground through evaporation.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) projects an increase of .3 to 1.7 C by 2030 in Australia’s wine regions, including the Barossa where Treasury is trying out the irrigation technology.

WHAT IS THAT? • Cassava a long tuberous starchy root about five centimetres around and 20 cm long.

• The root has a brown fibrous skin and snowy white interior flesh.

It is often covered in wax to prevent bruising.

• Other names for cassava are yuca, manioc, mandioca, casabe and tapioca.

•

The increase is likely to reduce grape quality by 12 to 57 percent, according to CSIRO. Diageo is also focused on water efficiency, with 23 of its global sites located in areas that it classifies as water-stressed, or where demand for water exceeds the amount that is available.

Thirteen of those sites are in Africa, where Diageo is looking at new ingredients that require less water to brew beer.

Diageo, which generates 20 percent of sales from beer, launched a brew in Ghana in 2012 made from cassava, a potato-like root plant that needs less water than traditional beer crops.

The cassava plant is able to tolerate drought and poor soil conditions better than most other food plants. It can grow in extremely poor, acidic soils.

SABMiller PLC, the world’s second largest brewer, started using cassava after overcoming rotting with a mobile processing plant.

“For us, this hits all of our sweet spots in terms of getting a great product to market,” said David Cutter, Diageo’s president of global supply and procurement.

“It increases our raw material sourcing locally and we are looking at

Farmers hang on to grain; handlers see profits dip chief financial officer Drew Burke said.

Argentine farmers are holding soybeans as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluations, he added.

Bunge does not expect farmer selling to increase in Brazil or Argentina until early next year “unless there were to be a sizable price or currency movement,” Burke said.

Cargill, a top global commodities trader, said earlier this month that returns in its origination and processing business during a fiscal first quarter that ended Aug. 31 had slipped as farmers held back grain sales.

The company said it was poised to benefit from replenished grain supplies as the U.S. harvest advances in its second quarter.

Farmers are able to postpone sales after expanding their storage capacity and because many are flush with cash after grain prices soared in recent years.

For global traders, the slow pace of selling is “definitely a negative in terms of their ability to be opportunistic buyers of grain,” said Ryan Oksenhendler, an analyst for Arlon Group.

gation, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and adaptation,” said Mark Stafford Smith, CSIRO’s science director for cimate adaption.

However, many businesses are still burying their heads in the sand.

Michael Wilkins, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services’ managing director of infrastructure, said many are “woefully underprepared.”

That has spurred S&P’s involvement in an initiative launched at a United Nations summit last month that will assess the financial loss a company could expect once in 100 years from climate change.

In a more immediate time frame, a business case for addressing climate change can be found in a study released last month by CDP, a London-based business environment adviser.

CDP found that S&P 500 share index companies that actively planned for climate change posted a return on equity this year that was 18 percent more than peers and 67 percent higher than those that did not disclose climate change-related strategies.

Such companies also reported 50 percent lower earnings volatility over the past decade compared with firms at the lower end of CDP’s climateawareness scale.

CARGILL, BUNGE LTD. | ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The slow pace of crop sales that has hurt two of the world’s biggest grain traders will likely stretch into next year, says the head of Bunge Ltd. Chief executive officer Soren Schroder said the forecast for sluggish sales may mean that grain companies will continue to feel economic pressure from limited supplies despite massive grain harvests in the United States.

U.S. farmers will market largerthan-normal percentages of their newly harvested corn and soybeans next year as they delay autumn sales because of weak prices, Schroder said.

U.S. farmers normally market their grain during the fall harvest, before spring planting or after planting.

However, Schroder said the volumes of grain being sold “are shifting a bit in between those three traditional marketing periods.”

His comments came after the company reported lower-than-expected third quar ter earnings, par tly because of sluggish farmer selling.

In Brazil, growers have marketed only 10 percent of their new-crop soybeans, compared to the normal level of 30 percent or more, Bunge

doing that more and more across Africa.”

The London-based drink maker aims to improve its water efficiency by 30 percent from 2007 levels by next year. The company’s annual report for the 2014 financial year showed it uses 6.9 litres of water to produce one litre of packaged product.

In Australia, Diageo manages just 1.1 litres of water per litre of packaged product and is looking to replicate that elsewhere.

Yalumba Wine Co. recently won the most recognized Australian industry award for climate change adaptation.

The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility, which works with CSIRO, cited Yalumba’s commitment to sustainability throughout its production chain, from vines to packaging.

Yalumba is grafting saline-resistant vine roots with grape-producing vines so that the vines are more resilient to the change when drought brings about a rise in the level of ground salt.

Experts say such mitigation and adaptation techniques are critical for many companies as they prepare for a future that is hotter, drier and prone to extreme weather and consequences such as flooding.

Reproductive stage affects mineral needs Nutritional requirements depend on whether the cow is pregnant, recovering from calving or lactating

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Mineral deficiencies found in western Canadian cattle could be related to the feed, soil, water or not enough supplements. “I know far too many producers who have learned the hard way from cows not eating enough minerals,� said John McKinnon, beef industry research chair at the University of Saskatchewan.

Lameness, milk fever, downer cows, retained placentas, failure to get pregnant, poor growth and

deaths could be from a nutrient deficiency. However, it is wise to consult with a veterinarian or nutritionist when things go wrong. “If you have issues with open cows and poor conception, don’t just focus on the mineral program, there are other reasons for these issues,� he said in a Nov. 4 webinar sponsored by the Beef Cattle Research Council. “It could be related to general nutrition, general energy intake during critical periods.�

Supplements come in a variety of forms, concentrations and price ranges.

Farms at the Table:

MENUS OF OPPORTUNITY

The ideal method is to mix them in the ration so every mouthful will offer enough.

Backgrounding and finishing operations do this, but most cowcalf operations are not feeding a total mixed ration. As a result, free choice is the best option. “The most important concept you have to realize when choosing what mineral program is right for you is to think about your own operation,� he said. “What part of the country do you live in and how that location will influence the mineral requirements of your cow herd.�

Mineral requirements also depend on whether the cow is pregnant, recovering from calving or lactating. More companies are designing their mineral packages based on what stage the cow is at, he said.

“Mineral requirements are going to change with the reproductive calendar of your cow herd,� he said.

The next challenge is getting cattle to eat the minerals and determining if they got enough.

Cattle won’t eat the minerals if they taste bad.

They might contain too much phosphorous, which causes a bitter taste, or the cattle do not like the flavouring agent. The salt content may affect palatability.

Cattle may have other sources of salt or salinity levels are too high in the water.

Location of the mineral feeders may affect how much cattle eat. The animals may go to them if they are exposed to wind, snow or rain. More companies are offering waterproofed minerals that shed water so that they keep better.

TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) — A new Fair Food label to help shoppers identify tomatoes grown under ethical working conditions is expected to debut soon at Whole Foods Market.

The initiative is a result of efforts to ensure Florida farm workers’ rights to water, shade and fair wages.

The label, featuring a worker hoisting a brimming bucket, publicizes a campaign to reform an industry criticized by labour groups and prosecutors for unsafe and unfair working conditions.

A dozen major buyers are participating, including Wal-Mart, Yum Brands and Subway.

Participating buyers have agreed to purchase fresh tomatoes only from growers following higher standards.

Ninety percent of tomato growers have signed on in Flor ida, the nation’s leading producer of fresh market tomatoes.

The campaign’s centrepiece is a premium of an extra penny per pound picked, paid on top of workers’ hourly minimum wages. Organizers say this has netted an extra $15 million for workers since 2011, adding $30 to $80 to weekly paychecks.

The label is “potentially gamechanging like few things are,� said Janice Fine, an associate professor in labour studies and employment relations at Rutgers University in New Jersey.

Officials at the White House and the United Nations have called the program a model that could expand to other regions and crops.

The program has assured safe conditions for an estimated 60,000 to 90,000 workers during tomato season. Florida produced $456 million in fresh market tomatoes last year, according to the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It’s a market that Florida dominates, along with California, the nation’s top overall tomato producer.

Using a Hollywood theme, the nonprofit group recognized five major benefactors of the project and encouraged others to talk about their experiences with the land, water and environment across southern Alberta.

Executive director Shannon Frank said the 15-minute film, which is expected to be complete early next year, will be widely available on websites and social media as a way to inform people about what a watershed is and how it affects them.

The Oldman watershed encompasses the area of Alberta south of High River and has its start on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

Forestry, mining, agriculture, recreation and urban development affect the region and will continue to do so in the future, said Frank.

portrayal of what’s happening to the watershed,” she said.

“We want it to be an empowering film to say to people, ‘here’s what you can do and here’s what other people are already doing.’ There are certainly some challenges but there’s lots of good stories, too.”

The initial film will provide an historical perspective of how the water system in southern Alberta has developed over time and how it is projected to evolve through 2060.

Limited launch for new GM crop is unique, says Dow official

Built-in sawfly defence.

Without Chinese approval, Enlist corn can only be grown in the U.S. for domestic livestock feed (Reuters) — Dow AgroSciences’ decision to severely restrict U.S. introduction of Enlist came after extensive talks with grain leaders who fear roiling trade with China, said a company executive.

The deep involvement of the grain industry in defining a genetically modified crop launch and the controls on that launch underscore the lengths U.S. companies are going to avoid angering China.

China has shown reluctance over the last year to approve new GM grain for import and has rejected more than one million tonnes of U.S. corn containing traces of unapproved GM traits.

Dow AgroSciences’ application for Chinese approval of its Enlist GM corn has languished for about two years. Its Enlist soybeans are also awaiting approval.

Both are genetically modified to withstand treatments of Dow’s new Enlist Duo herbicide.

“We want to make sure that we respect their (China’s) process,” said Joe Vermin, Dow AgroSciences’ global leader for Enlist.

Vertin said the company held talks with national corn and soybean grower groups and grain trading groups about how to proceed after it

received U.S. regulatory approvals this fall.

It evaluated several proposals before coming up with what Vertin called a unique strategy.

The plan, unveiled Nov. 12, allows for seed production of its new Enlist soybeans and sales of Enlist corn seed only to farmers who will feed the harvested grain to livestock on their farms and agree to have the process audited.

Enlist Duo herbicide will be sold for use on those crops.

The program is for next year and w i l l b e re - e v a l u at e d f o r 2 0 1 6 , depending on China’s position.

Vertin would not specify the acreage targeted for the launch, but said a significant amount of grain stays on farms for feed use, and the company is still optimistic for broad adoption at some point.

“As we look at any biotech trait ... it’s a gradual process,” he said.

Dow’s program is stricter than that of Syngenta AG , which is also trying what the industry calls a “stewarded launch.”

Syngenta is requiring farmers who plant its Agrisure Duracade GM corn to feed the crop to livestock or deliver it to a facility that will not export it to China.

COMMODITY MOVEMENT | RAILWAY CONGESTION

U.S. railroad puts moratorium on new oil tank cars Oil shippers not happy | BNSF says it hopes to reduce complaints from other sectors about oil cars causing rail congestion and delays NEW YORK/CALGARY (Reuters) — BNSF Railroad has told some customers that they cannot add new oil tank cars to its system until next year, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Oil shippers seeking to add as many as a dozen new crude oil trains to BNSF’s lines, which is more than 1,000 tank cars, have been “blocked out,” one of the sources said.

“They can keep however many they are running, but cannot bring on any more.”

The moratorium on new cars, which customers were informed of

in recent weeks, is BNSF’s latest effort to avoid worsening congestion on its rail network amid record freight traffic and growing scrutiny from lawmakers and federal regulators upset by months of complaints over poor service and delays.

Persistent delays in oil train shipments to the U.S. East Coast are beginning to ease, providing relief to refiners.

Preventing shippers from putting more rail cars onto the network may help prevent overloading the system, but it is also irritating some shippers who are still racing to tap into the

growing volume of oil from North Dakota. More than 9,000 new tank cars are expected to roll off production lines this quarter.

BNSF’s efforts come just as the nation’s rail system faces what could be its biggest-ever test as farmers start shipping a record harvest of corn and soybeans, while at the same time winter weather threatens to slow down operations.

“A lot of grain is still backed up that they have to clear,” said one of the people familiar with the matter.

The informal moratorium “means the volumes on rail are somewhat

being forced lower. There’s demand and capacity, but the railroads just cannot keep up.”

Mike Trevino, a BNSF spokesperson, said he would not describe the company’s actions as a moratorium.

Instead, the company is working to manage freight volumes that have reached record highs for each of the past eight weeks.

“There’s a lot of volume, and we are going to evaluate new train starts,” he said.

“Before we add incrementally more business to the network, we need to see if the network can handle it.”

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.

Martin Cej, a spokesperson with Canadian Pacific Railway, said the company has no plans at this point to issue a similar moratorium.

“CP is always looking at opportunities to pick up new business as it improves service for existing customers,” Cej said when asked if the company has room to handle some of the business BNSF may lose.

BNSF, once known as Burlington Northern Santa Fe, has taken the heaviest criticism over the systemwide deterioration in North American rail service this year, including a sharp fall in rail speeds and longer waiting times at terminals.

Railroads blamed record freight and last winter’s brutal weather.

Farmers, ethanol producers and refiners said rail operators were failing to keep up with demand for their service, often blaming the boom in oil-by-rail trade.

Preventing customers from adding new rolling stock to its 51,000 kilometre network may help BNSF avoid further complaints that its locomotives are not moving freight quickly enough from one point to another, as it is required to do.

Meanwhile, new tank cars are rolling off production lines in growing numbers to meet demand for oil shipments. A record 9,235 were delivered in the third quarter, according to Railway Supply Institute data.

East Coast refiners, which are the nation’s largest consumers of Bakken crude oil from North Dakota, have been creative in finding ways around the moratorium, an industry source said. Some have cut deals with traders to divert trains from the Gulf Coast, where new pipelines have come online, to the East Coast, one of the sources said.

“There’s certainly demand for additional rail cars on the East Coast, and it’s certainly been frustrating for some,” said the source.

Faced with a limited number of rail cars on the BNSF system until January, some refiners are exploring using different rail carriers, such as CP, he said.

For the moment, operations on the U.S. rail network are improving.

BNSF recently placed a new double track line into service in northwestern North Dakota, which connects Minot and Williston. It is part of a US$5.5 billion plan to improve service along the Great Northern Corridor from the Pacific Northwest to Chicago, which is the most affected part of the network.

The company has also hired more than 400 new employees in North Dakota, Trevino said.

Shipments of crude by train are making round trips from North Dakota to the East Coast in 18 to 19 days, down from 23 to 24 days over recent months, according to one oil industry source involved in the oil-by-rail trade. A trader said the investments in tracks and manpower have helped, but “we’re still far from where we were in the summer of 2013, when it all started going downhill.”

However, BNSF may face a new problem once it begins adding cars back on to the system, which is expected early next year.

“I would not want to be the guy at BNSF having to decide who comes first,” said one of the sources.

EUROPEAN UNION | GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS

Australian EU considers allowing countries to ban GM crops farmers hold back wheat Waiting for higher prices | Drought in some regions may push up global prices SINGAPORE (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Australian farmers are holding back wheat crop sales as dryness in parts of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eastern grain belt cuts yields.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s raising the likelihood of a boost to global prices, which have dropped 13 percent this year.

Farmers in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth biggest wheat exporter have sold only a quarter of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop. Analysts peg sales at 50 percent of production by the end of December compared to 70 percent last year.

The hoarding could force key importers of Australian wheat to seek supplies from the United States and Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of uncertainty on how big the crop will be,â&#x20AC;? said Ole Houe, an analyst at Sydney-based brokerage IKON Commodities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Victoria is the biggest challenge because it is so dry out there, and even in New South Wales there is talk about lower yields.â&#x20AC;?

Analysts have cut crop estimates to 22 to 23 million tonnes, five to nine percent below the official forecast of 24.23 million tonnes.

A clearer picture will emerge after harvest.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has reduced its most recent estimate for Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop to 24 million tonnes from 25 million tonnes in October.

The country produced 27.013 million tonnes last year.

Parts of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia have seen dry weather, which will not only reduce yields but also raise fears about next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planting, which starts in April. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given how dry it has been, perhaps farmers will become reluctant sellers for a longer period as sometimes they tend to hold grains as a hedge against drought,â&#x20AC;? a Melbourne-based analyst said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Forecasters have reduced the chances of El Nino, but try telling that to farmers in northwestern Victoria, which hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen much rain for the last three months.â&#x20AC;?

The U.S. weather forecaster recently reduced its outlook for the likelihood of El Nino developing during the Northern Hemisphere winter to 58 percent.

Asian buyers have yet to shift wheat buying to other origins because demand is weak due to slowing economic growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buyers are still looking at Australian wheat as it is cheaper, but if fears of drought continue to block shipments, they will have not much choice but to seek wheat from other origins,â&#x20AC;? a Singapore-based trader said.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; European Union politicians have backed a plan to allow member countries to ban genetically modified crops on their soil, even if the crops are approved in the trading bloc.

The decision increases the chance that their use will remain limited on the continent.

GM crops have divided opinion in Europe. Opposition persists in many countries, including France and Germany, while Britain favours them.

A previous compromise endorsed this year by EU ministers would have required negotiation with the relevant companies if a country wanted to ban a GM crop that had been approved for EU-wide use.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote would give European countries a legally solid right to ban GM cultivation in their territory, making it difficult for the biotech industry to challenge such bans in court.

MARCO CONTIERO GREENPEACE

The plan voted through Parliament Nov. 11 would leave out that stage and allows member countries to ban GM crops on environmental grounds. It drew praise from GM opponents.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote would give European countries a legally solid right to ban GM cultivation in their territory, making it difficult for the biotech industry to challenge such bans in court,â&#x20AC;? said Marco Contiero, Greenpeace European Unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture policy director.

Left-leaning politicians also welcomed the vote, which kicks off formal negotiations on a legal text, saying it strengthened the grounds for opting out of GM cultivation.

Conservatives were opposed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on GM cultivation risks inflicting untold damage to robust, science-based policymaking in Europe,â&#x20AC;? said Julie Girling, environment spokesperson

for the Conservatives in the European Parliament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strongly oppose these proposals and voted against them today. We will continue to oppose them.â&#x20AC;?

The European Commission said in a statement it was confident the law could be in place in 2015, once it had received final endorsement from Parliament and member states.

GM cultivation has provoked opposition in Europe for years. EU authorities have approved only two GM crops for commercial cultivation, and one was later blocked by a court.

That leaves Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GM corn MON810 as the only GM crop grown in Europe, where it has been cultivated in Spain and Portugal for a decade.

One of what’s expected to be a long list of lawsuits against BC Hydro’s Site C dam was filed in Federal Court Oct. 12.

The Mikisew Cree First Nation and Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation filed the lawsuit opposing the dam project on the Peace River in British Columbia, saying it would have a devastating impact on their traditional hunting land.

The First Nations are opposing the project because they believe the government did not properly consider Site C’s downstream effects on the Peace Athabasca Delta in northern Alberta.

The delta is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest fresh water deltas in the world.

The $7.9 billion dam would be the third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River.

The provincial and federal environment ministries issued environmental certificates to the project in October, saying the dam’s adverse effects would be outweighed by the benefits.

Previous dams on the Peace River, upstream from the proposed Site C damn near Fort St. John, B.C., have affected water levels on the Peace River.

The First Nations said decreasing water levels have put species of wildlife at risk, altered vegetation and made it difficult for them to access areas within the delta.

“There is too much at stake in the Delta to ignore potential effects of yet another dam on the Peace River,” said Mikisew chief Steve Coirtoreille.

An environmental assessment panel said the dam would cause significant effects on wildlife, environment, farmers and First Nations.

The B.C. government has not yet approved construction of the dam but hopes to have a decision before the end of the year.

HORTICULTURE | FRUIT FLY BLIGHT

Disease slashes olive farmer productivity ‘Olive tree leprosy’ | New bacterial disease leaves Italian farmers with only a fraction of their normal harvest ROME, Italy (Reuters) — Italian olive growers are increasing the price of olive oil as a bacterial disease, a fruit fly blight and unusually wet weather reduce harvests by onethird.

This year’s harvest is expected to be down by more than 35 percent from last year’s level, forcing prices up by 30 percent, according to the olive oil trade associations Assitol and Federolio.

Italian oil production, which the farmers’ association Coldiretti said is usually worth around $2.8 billion a year, was hit in some areas by the xylella fastidiosa pathogen, described as “olive tree leprosy” by the associations.

Francesco Suatoni, who tends 1,000 olive trees near the town of Amelia north of Rome, said he usually makes 40,000 litres of organic olive oil but this year expected to produce only 10,000 litres.

“We started out with sick plants,” Suatoni said.

“Then the warm, wet weather allowed the flies to breed and attack.

My grandfather started working here in 1949. We have been here for generations, but none of us has ever seen anything like this.”

Suatoni has raised the price of his oil to $12.70 a litre from $9.90. Assitol and Federolio say market prices

have risen at a similar rate across Italy.

The European Food Safety Authority said last November that xylella fastidiosa had been detected in southern Italy, the first outbreak of its kind in the European Union. The bacteria can dry out trees and scorch their leaves.

Italy is already the world’s biggest importer of olive oil, but the drastic reduction in this year’s harvest has pushed imports up by 45 percent from last year, raising the risk that oil grown elsewhere could be passed off as Italian, Coldiretti said.

“Two out of three bottles filled in Italy contain foreign olive oil, and we need to do all we can to ensure transparency in trade and combat the risk of fraud,” Coldiretti said.

Producers and merchants are waiting uneasily to gauge the effect of higher prices on demand.

Italian shoppers traditionally favour high-quality, locally produced food, but consumer spending has dwindled in line with a shrinking economy in the last three years.

“It is difficult to predict what will happen next, because we need to see how consumers respond when these price rises reach the shop shelves,” Assitol and Federolio said in a joint response to questions from Reuters.

AGFINANCE | HOPE DAIRIES LTD.

Australian tycoon, Chinese partner to create dairy farm Infant formula market | Chinese demand for quality dairy products was up 70 percent in the first half of the year SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Mining billionaire Gina Rinehart plans to invest $494 million and partner with a major Chinese firm to create one of Australia’s biggest dairy farms.

The goal is to capitalize on rapidly growing demand in China for premium infant formula.

The joint venture, Hope Dairies Ltd., aims to begin exports in the second half of 2016 and may produce as much as 30,000 tonnes of formula a year. It also plans to sell long-life milk.

Food safety scandals have led to

booming demand for quality infant formula in China, prompting a wave of partnerships between foreign and Chinese dairy firms, including an investment last month by France’s Danone SA in formula maker Yashili International Holdings.

Rinehart’s firm, Hancock Prospecting, is looking to buy 12,355 acres of farmland in Queensland, which would be home to 16,000 cows.

“There’s a huge market for dairy products in China and Australia produces the best, and we are going to produce a premium product that particularly China, we believe, will

be very interested in,” said Jason Morrison, spokesperson for Hope Dairies.

China’s imports of milk and milk powder soared 70 percent in the first half of the year to 830,000 tonnes, customs data showed. Infant milk formula sales in China are forecast to double from last year to more than $31 billion by 2017, according to research firm Euromonitor.

The Chinese partner is believed to be industrial giant China National Machinery Industry Corp.

Morrison said Hope Dairies plans to manufacture pharmaceutical

grade product, which would spare it from safety concerns that have hit companies such as New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra, whose thenpartner in China in 2008 was found to have added melamine to bulk up infant formula.

The Queensland Dairyfarmers’ Organization, which has been working with Rinehart’s firm and the state government for months, said the project would include big investments in farms and milk processing facilities in a state where dairy farmers have been hit by a local price war.

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australia’s largest listed agribusiness says its annual net profit fell 64 percent from a year earlier as dry weather led to lower grain volumes.

GrainCorp’s net profit was $49.5 million for the full year ending Sept.

30, compared with $172 million the previous 12 months.

Operating net profit was $93.5 million, excluding one-off costs.

The company slashed its final dividend to five cents from 20 cents as revenue fell eight percent to $4.03 billion.

“Growers have had to contend with continued hot and dry conditions in many areas, compounding the challenges of the growing season,” said chief executive officer Mark Palmquist, who took the position last month and is filling a 10-month vacancy.

“While it’s a smaller crop, the quality is generally good and we are all hoping for a good, clean run through to the end of harvest.”

Uncertainty about GrainCorp’s future has lingered since late last year when a newly elected Australian government scuttled a $2.8 billion takeover bid by Archer Daniels Midland, citing national interests.

The situation became even more volatile when the company’s CEO, who had planned to leave following the takeover anyway, left soon after the government rejected the deal.

The firm will have to show it can prosper as an expected El Nino weather pattern causes drier weather and lower grain production on Australia’s east coast, where it has most of its business.

Palmquist said GrainCorp expects the environment for its core grains business to remain tight in the 2015 financial year, with below average volumes resulting in less product available for export.

Meanwhile, the government has since been reported to have softened its stance on foreign takeovers, and ADM has kept its 19.9 percent stake in GrainCorp, stoking speculation it may make another run at buying the Australian company.

Animals made from resin provide ideal teaching tool Better for animals | Creating a replica, including organs, enables veterinary students to practise without causing stress to real animals

An unconventional marriage between science and art has conceived an unusual teaching model for veterinarians.

Alister Cribb, dean of the University of Calgary’s veterinary faculty, approached his neighbour, Russ Gray, in 2009 to build an interactive display of the back half of a cow with a calf inside. He wanted to show children at Aggie Days where baby calves come from.

Gray asked his friend, Bryan Pfahl, to help. The two men had 30 years experience as movie and television prop men and designers and could see there was a real need to supply advanced teaching tools to veterinary students.

In 2010, they formed Veterinary Simulator Industries to design and build anatomically correct livestock models of horses, cattle and dogs, which have been sold to schools in 26 countries.

“Pretty much all the sales we have made to date came from people who

found us,” said Pfahl.

Other simulators are available, but Gray and Pfahl’s are life-like, fullsized models made from epoxy resin, which can include interchangeable internal organs so that students can practise palpations before moving to the real thing. It has saved research animals a lot of stress and discomfort.

“There is nothing better to learn from than the real animal, but they are not always the best thing to teach with,” said Pfahl.

Simulators have been used before, but realistic models encourage students to become more engaged and careful with what they are doing.

“This isn’t going to replace the real one. It is a transition,” said Gray.

More schools are setting higher welfare standards for research animals, so the timing was right for introducing these kind of simulators.

The partners worked with a local sculptor and anatomists at the university, to develop the first prototypes, which took about a year. They created organs by studying preserved specimens.

They offer Quarter horses and beef and dairy cows. Dog and pig models were recently added.

The dairy cow is a full sized Holstein built with help from local veterinarians Gordon Atkins and David Chalack.

“Our Holstein is a 97-point true type Holstein, so it has been scrutinized,” said Gray.

They questioned whether they should build a life-sized Holstein because it was more expensive to build and ship to customers around the world.

“It turns out if you are in Liverpool, England, or you are in Wisconsin or Ontario, you want a Holstein. The conformation is certainly different,” said Pfahl.

The ideas never stop, and veterinarians continue to offer suggestions that can be challenging to construct.

Their goal is to create a perfect specimen, but sometimes alterations are made because internal organ placement is complex. For example, finding the right material to replicate the strength and feel of intestines has CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The bovine uterus also proved to be more complicated than expected. It needs to be placed correctly and must be strong enough to withstand an inexperienced student’s probing.

They have created a uterus with a 60-day-old fetus to teach pregnancy checking, as well as a full-term calf for reproductive studies. These fit inside the cow, and the instructors can turn the body into different malpresentations so the students can learn how to deliver them safely.

“They can birth that Holstein five or 10 times. When they get around a real cow, they know what to do now,” said Gray.

The calf has a skeleton with joints that move correctly. It is not a puppet.

It has a mouth that opens and an esophagus, so students can learn to insert a feeding tube.

It weighs about 50 pounds. The partners had considered making it the correct weight, but students could not handle the heavier model and started to damage it.

They have also built dogs’ legs with shoulders or hips attached to teach bandaging and sling techniques.

Another project is a spay model that includes the dog’s uterus, ovaries, kidneys, bladder and ligaments.

“These are good for testing. If you have three of these and all your students run through it, it is all the same,” said Gray.

Suture kits that mimic the layers of skin are also available to teach stitching techniques.

They were recently commissioned to build heads of cattle and pigs to teach proper euthanasia techniques.

The head will open so the operator can see where the captive bolt went to ensure it was positioned properly in the brain. There has been particular interest from the hog industry because of the wave of deaths attributed to porcine epidemic diarrhea in Canada and the United States.

The company has also been asked to consider building a sheep model so that students can learn to sort out tiny heads and an assortment of legs in dystocia cases when there are multiples inside the ewe.

As well, the partners are thinking about creating a horse’s head with veins and a reservoir of blood so students can learn to insert a needle correctly when doing a venapuncture.

Their biggest challenge in this market driven business is stepping up production. They are in a 2,500 sq. foot space in northeastern Calgary and could double that and increase their staff if they could find people with the desirable skill sets.

It helps if employees are artistic.

“We tell them the most interesting thing they will ever sculpt here is a cow’s uterus,” said Pfahl.

The company also needs additional funding to develop special prototypes and assurance that here is commercial interest so it can recover its costs.

The partners have received grants from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency as well as Growing Forward 2.

They have learned how different this business is from the film industry, where image and illusion are everything.

“This is the most important industry of all. This is what we eat. Not only are we dealing with the agriculture industry, we are dealing with education, and that’s something that I want to tell people,” said Pfahl.

“The movies are all fluff.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

NEWS PLANT RESEARCH | ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT

Why don’t plants get sunburned?

Understanding how natural sunscreens work will be important to plant breeders

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Researchers have discovered some plant molecules can absorb ultraviolet light to keep plants from burning up. | WP PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

Much like a five-year-old with red hair, it turns out plants also need sun protection.

Researchers at the University of Purdue now understand how plants produce their own sunscreen.

Tim Zwier, a chemistry professor at Purdue, determined that crops and other plants use a group of molecules called sinapate esters to block harmful ultraviolet radiation.

It was already known that plants produced these molecules and transported them to the surface of leaves, but scientists didn’t understand what wavelengths of light were screened out and how the plants did it.

Zwier and his team learned that a plant-produced molecule called sinapoyl malate absorbs a significant amount of ultraviolet light.

“This molecule is a fantastic sunscreen and can absorb a remarkably broad spectrum of UV-B light — the entire spectrum,” Zwier said.

“This is about the biggest absorption efficiency you can find in a molecule.”

Clint Chapple, head of Purdue’s biochemistry department, said plants need sunscreen even more than humans because plants can’t move to the shade.

“You, personally, would get one heck of a sunburn if we buried you waste deep in soil and you couldn’t get out of the sun during July and August,” he said.

“They (plants) depend upon light for their energy and when they inter-

cept wavelengths of light useful to them, for photosynthesis, they’re simultaneously getting bombarded with ultraviolet light.”

Without a natural sunscreen, Chapple said the UV light would “cause a lot of damage to the photosynthetic apparatus and the plant would die.”

Chapple, who was born and raised in London, Ont., and graduated from the University of Guelph, said naturally occurring sunscreens were crucial to the development of life on land.

Plants didn’t require sunscreen in the ocean because the water blocked most of the UV radiation. However, plants on land needed something to screen out the harmful rays.

“We think this pathway for developing these sunscreens is probably one of the earliest adaptations to life on land,” Chapple said, adding it likely occurred 400 million years ago.

“Moss is… one of the earliest plants to (grow) on land, they can make these UV sunscreens.”

Chapple said molecules are similar to chemical compounds that produce flavor. Oil of cloves, cinna-

mon and vanilla derive their flavour from this class of compounds.

Chapple said understanding how plants block out UV rays is a neat trick, but the discovery does more than satisfy scientific curiosity.

Crops depend on these molecules to prevent sun damage, and plant breeders need to understand how natural sunscreens function.

“We are interested in breeding plants that are highly productive and would be resilient to changes in climate that we expect are coming,” he said, adding breeding decisions could inadvertently compromise the production of natural plant sunscreens.

“We can’t afford to have negative (consequences) with regards to UV resistance.”

Chapple said sinapate esters compounds also play a role in the formation of lignin in plants. If researchers can understand the bio-chemical pathway that produces lignins, they might be able to improve biofuel production and livestock digestion.

“As structural components of walls of plants, these molecules (that form lignins) make it more difficult for us to convert that biomass into biofuel…. It also impacts how well cattle, for example, can convert feedstock into biomass,” he said.

“There’s a longstanding interest in this pathway in plants and how we can manipulate it for our benefit.”

Zwier’s paper on sinapoyl malate and plant sunscreen was recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. robert.arnason@producer.com

Why A GSI Dryer?

You have planned every aspect of the planting and care of your crop. Planning for success at harvest and post-harvest should be no different. Being confident in the protection of your properly conditioned grain allows you to turn your attention to managing your operation, monitoring the markets and the overall strength of your business.

Portable Dryers provide higher capacities with greater flexibility while minimizing the investment. From 220 BPH dry & cool to 4,000 BPH all heat, from a simple system with grain moved by augers to the most complex handling.

Optional WatchDog Software GSI’s optional WatchDog software program allows remote monitoring of dryer functions such as moisture, temperature and dryer status from a web accessible computer. Web based for greater accessibility, the WatchDog keeps you advised from the comfort and convenience of your home, office or smartphone.

Call now to take advantage of Factory Winter Programs

For a limited time, receive a WATCHDOG monitoring and control system FREE Disclaimer: Free WATCHDOG remote control & monitoring system only available with purchase of new Vision Portable Dryers on Winter Program only. WATCHDOG technology requires web access and all costs such as cell modem, wired, or wireless connection to the web are the responsibility of the customer and not included in this offer.”

AGRONOMY | SEED INVESTMENT

Industry officials see future for seed treatments in ag Crop protection | Despite controversy around neonicotinoids, companies continue to invest in seed treatment development

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Neonicotinoids have become controversial because of potential risks to bees, but the seed and crop science industry continues to invest heavily in seed treatments.

One of those firms is BrettYoung, a seed company that held a grand opening in late October for its new seed treatment and coating plant in Winnipeg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This investment, the largest single investment in our companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80-year history, is a transformative one for BrettYoung,â&#x20AC;? chief executive officer Calvin Sonntag said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It not only enables us to better serve the needs of our existing customers but also supports the launch of new products and services.â&#x20AC;?

Pierre Petelle, vice-president of chemistry for Crop Life Canada, said crop protection companies are spending money on research and development to bring innovative seed coatings to market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can safely say that seed treatment technology is very much on a growth curve, globally,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already seen a number of combined technologies being applied to seeds, whether they are microbial products â&#x20AC;Ś and two or three different fungicides to fight off resistance.â&#x20AC;?

Cory Baseraba, BrettYoungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer, said farmers and the agricultural industry have recognized the value of seed treatments.

Increasing farm size means producers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or manpower to wait for ideal seeding conditions. Seed planted into wet, dry or cold soil has to perform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers need to ensure a crop gets established and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to make that investment in the treatments that help them get the maximum yield (potential) thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the seed,â&#x20AC;? said Baseraba.

Seed coatings are more diverse than insecticides and fungicides, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It) might include the active seed coatings that are absorbing and holding water on seedlings, which would help them grow in periods of stress or drought,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can also can apply micronutrients, where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting some assistance with fertility â&#x20AC;Ś to help the seed establish more quickly.â&#x20AC;?

Baseraba said some seed treatment facilities specialize in a certain crop, such as canola or soybeans. Brett Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new plant is designed to treat a spectrum of seeds, including canola, turf seeds and forage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just (because of ) the nature of BrettYoungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business, we distribute and export to over 30 countries around the world,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We play in all kinds of seed markets.â&#x20AC;?

Baseraba said the BrettYoung plant is the first facility in Canada built in accordance with new seed treatment standards introduced by Crop Life Canada for safe handling and storage.

As of January 2017, only accredited facilities will be permitted to receive and apply designated seed treatment products. A list of seed treatments, which only accredited plants can receive and apply, will likely be released early next year.

We can safely say that seed treatment technology is very much on a growth curve, globally.

Meat sector doubts rosy picture

Assiniboine River basin residents seek voice in flooding discussions

Challenging industry | Pork official calls forecast ‘awfully optimistic’

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Farm Credit Canada expects Canadian pork production to increase six percent and beef production to grow by nine percent over the next four years.

However, producers and commodity groups say those modest goals are unrealistic unless something is done to remedy the lack of labour in Canada’s red meat industry.

“I wish they were right,” said Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak. “But it seems awfully optimistic.”

In a report on agricultural trade released in the second week of November, FCC economists said Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector is performing well in comparison to other countries. It said trade deals and economic growth in key regions will “help sustain Canada’s leading position in agriculture and agri-food global markets.”

Trade deals and market opportunities are critical to increase pork and beef exports in the future, but they’re irrelevant if Canada doesn’t have people willing to raise livestock or process meat, said Ron Davidson, director of trade and government relations for the Canadian Meat Council.

“We are now reducing production.

We’re reducing exports, we’re moving value added out of the country.

It’s serious…. We are in real trouble,” he said.

“We’ve got (meat processing) plants in Ontario with empty positions. There is just nobody doing the work…. Expansion isn’t on the table, anywhere. Trying to maintain our current production is our challenge right now.”

The labour shortage in Canada’s red meat sector is broad, stretching from the farm to feedlots to meat processing plants.

Novak said it’s profitable to raise pigs right now because feed costs are down and prices are up. However, he’s hesitant to expand his operation because hiring and retaining pig barn employees is a massive obstacle.

“We can’t even get people in the (rural) area to do (the work),” he said.

The only solution is to recruit foreign workers, he added.

The federal government introduced changes to the program this spring following highly publicized cases of businesses allegedly abusing the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

The government capped the prop o r t i o n o f t e m p o ra r y f o re i g n employees at a workplace, reduced the time these workers can stay in Canada from two years to one and

increased the application fee to hire a temporary foreign worker.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft said Western Canada’s beef and pork slaughter plants have struggled to cope with the changes and are short approximately 600 workers.

He said some Canadian plants are turning away cattle because they don’t have sufficient staff to slaughter and process them. The surplus cattle are diverted to American plants.

“If they’re operating at 3,500 (head) a day, instead of say 4,200 a day, that’s the type of thing we’re talking about,” Laycraft said.

Those figures are rough estimates, he added.

Bryan Walton, general manager of the National Cattle Feeders’ Association, said slaughter plant reductions have an immediate effect on feedlots.

“If the packing plants can’t meet their full kill capacity, then they back things up to us. How is that making us a more efficient country?”

Walton said the cap on the number of temporary foreign workers and the fee increase don’t apply to feedlots, but they will be affected by the change in how long these employees can work in Canada. robert.arnason@producer.com

The Assiniboine River Basin Initiative was created to develop an organizational structure that would work co-operatively to address water related issues across the basin.

Representatives from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota met in Regina Nov. 12-14 to do just that.

Project manager Wanda McFadyen said the inaugural conference was intended set up a board and find sustainable funding.

“We realize there are groups operating on the landscape that have jurisdictional power. In no way do we want to impede or supersede,” she said.

McFadyen said Prairie Improvement Network (PIN), the driving force behind ARBI, realized no one was working collectively on behalf of people in the basin.

Bob Halliday, Saskatchewan River Basin chair, said the basin is larger t ha n t h e R e d R i v e r Ba s i n a n d includes the Assiniboine, Souris and Qu’Appelle rivers.

He said recent flooding was a driving force behind the new organization, but “I wouldn’t omit the discussion of drought.”

“The first goal will be to set up some sort of basin-wide organization with grassroots representation

from different parts of the basin,” he added.

Keystone Agricultural Producers vice-president Dan Mazier said the initiative will give basin residents a voice.

“They should at least have a say in how we’re going to manage this,” he said. “We have to talk about what is fair and equitable.”

Mazier said KAP is involved because it’s a basin-wide approach to handling the issue.

“This problem is much bigger than just the region and our jurisdiction.

It needs to reach into Saskatchewan and Souris.”

Kenny Rogers, the representative director for the Garrison Diversion Conservatory District in North Dakota, said the new organization will “broaden our group and make us stronger to help work on some of the troubles that we have.”

He is concerned about funding because the state government is having problems contributing money to a new organization that is not a nonprofit.

“But (it) will also be another educational arm to help people understand what is happening in the basin.”

The Manitoba government has committed $50,000 in funding, and PIN has committed $350,000 until the end of January.

Strip till drill simplified Soil Warrior | Sometimes things need to get complicated before they get simple again

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

FARGO, N.D. — The complexity of the Soil Warrior might scare off a few producers, but the zone till seeder might catch their attention once they get over the intimidation factor.

Soil Warrior puts a sharp point on the fact that riding the cutting edge of any new technology is costly in terms of trial and error. It’s as true when placing seed and fertilizer into the earth as it is when putting men up on the moon. It’s costly.

However, the costly and complicated research and development can eventually turn into a simplified solution, says Craig Hiemstra of Environmental Tillage Systems.

He said that’s the story behind the ETS Soil Warrior.

“Over the years, we’ve seen that so

many innovative farmers have had to build their own equipment from scratch because there’s nothing on the market to fit their specific needs.

A lot of iron ends up in the scrap pile,” he said.

“Or, the other scenario is that guys are forced to adapt parts from three or even four different manufacturers to get the combination of components they want. They spend a lot of extra time and money needlessly, and they end up with this long unwieldy train of iron.”

Hiemstra said the Soil Warrior brings all that iron and technology together into a single co-ordinated machinery inventory, which can be customized to fit the specific needs of each individual customer at different points in time.

As a result, Hiemstra said there’s nothing haphazard or “add-on”

CRAIG HIEMSTRA ENVIRONMENTAL TILLAGE SYSTEMS

about the Soil Warrior.

“We focus our attention on agronomy. The iron is there simply to support what we see as the best agronomic practices,” he said.

“We called it Soil Warrior because we want farmers to lead the charge and go out there and defend their land using good environmental practices.”

The company defines zone till as

disturbing only one-third of the row width. That strip is cultivated intensively in the fall and lightly in the spring. Fertilizer is incorporated either in the fall or spring. The elevated berm of cultivated black soil is an ideal seed bed because it warms early in the spring.

ETS identifies six main benefits to leaving two-thirds of the row untilled and covered with residue: • Increased microbial activity, organic matter and soil tilth.

• Natural mulching of soil between the rows.

• Reduced soil erosion and water runoff.

• Reduced fertility loss.

• Untilled strips to plant into the following year.

• Last year’s roots left for water infiltration.

Hiemstra said it’s difficult to pin-

point the difference between the term “strip till” and the newer term “zone till.”

Nobody has yet come up with an official definition, but he said most people consider strip till as the process of cultivating a strip of black soil that takes one-third of the total row width. It can be seen as one-third of the field surface. The remaining twothirds of surface area between the narrow black strips is not disturbed.

The residue cover helps conserve moisture and reduce erosion.

Zone till, in his opinion, pertains to how farmers manages that black strip. Numerous options are available in the strip for cultivation, fertilization, weed control and planting.

In other words, strip till is the raised ridge of black soil while zone till is a management practice.

Some farmers practise “ridge farming” by planting in this same raised ridge every year, but most producers move the strip over each year.

Whatever version of strip till farmers choose, it’s an agronomic choice based on their own experience and soil management plan. However, no form of strip till, zone till or ridge till can be performed without the right equipment.

“Yes, the Soil Warrior is a precision ag machine, but it’s not the machine that’s important,” Hiemstra said.

“The machine is secondary to agronomy. Over the past decade, we’ve developed Soil Warrior into a complete system designed to help farmers get the most benefit from strip till farming.”

He said the idea of strip tillage isn’t new. It was a great idea initially, but operators had a hard time keeping the row units perfectly aligned within the black soil strips. Strip till finally became viable with the introduction of accurate and affordable RTK. A strip till machine’s main job is to create the basic black soil strip, which is eight to 10 inches wide. Soil Warrior can work that soil strip down to a depth of 12 inches if that’s what the farmer wants to break up compaction or a deep plow pan layer.

Row unit options include equipment for anhydrous ammonia application, vertical liquid manure application, shallow cultivation, seed bed CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

“You can deliver any form of nitrogen, (phosphorus) and (potassium) through your variable rate prescription map. With the (anhydrous ammonia) setup I have here today, we have 24 gauges because the customer wants to monitor his liquid (anhydrous ammonia) to each of the 24 runs,” Hiemstra said during the Big Iron show in Fargo earlier this year.

The display unit in Fargo was specifically equipped to meet one customer’s requirements, he added.

“Instead of the gas form, ammonia is delivered to the soil in a very accurate variable rate liquid form. It goes down into the soil and doesn’t convert until it’s safely packed. There’s no loss to the atmosphere.”

Hiemstra said 18 inches of vertical travel and pneumatic independent depth control on each row unit makes the Soil Warrior a strong combatant, able to withstand the abuse of any field conditions.

Individual depth control is the norm on today’s strip till machines.

Soil Warrior has extra-long 18-inch vertical travel with parallel linkage, which allows the row units to perform their assigned task while avoiding equipment damage.

Rather than using spr ings or hydraulic dampening, the Soil Warrior employs pneumatic air bags, providing instant response to surface undulations. There are no shear pins or spring-trip devices.

“The air springs we install are just like the air bags in your over-the-road semi,” he said.

“Regulator controls in the tractor cab let the operator dial in pressures up to 90 pounds per sq. inch so he can keep the row units at the desired depth.”

ETS offers a shank option for farmers who want to use that type of system in their anhydrous setup. However, it strongly recommends using its 30-inch diameter rolling cog coulter instead.

The shank goes down to a depth of nine inches, while the vertical tillage coulter goes down to six inches.

“Traditionally, with the shank, you end up lifting the rocks out of the ground,” he said.

“That disrupts the accuracy and the performance of whatever operation you’re doing. Plus now you have another big rock up on the surface to deal with. The shank is OK if you don’t have rocky fields. But if you’re running large diameter cog wheels, they climb up over the top of the

“In the cab, you can hear your coulters hitting the rocks. But when you look back, you don’t see any new rocks on the surface. And with 18 inches vertical travel, you can push them pretty deep and not hurt your equipment.”

Depth adjustment is provided by wide steel gauge wheels, which run just ahead of each row unit.

ETS said the steel rollers are trouble free compared to other types of gauge wheels. Although not intended to perform packing or seed bed preparation, they are tough enough to break up soil clumps and roll down other obstructions.

The iron tillage bits on the cog wheels are replaceable. The hubs all run in an oil bath. Soil Warrior is available in working widths up to 40 feet.

Maximum liquid fertilizer capacity is 2,200 U.S. gallons. Maximum dry fertilizer capacity is nine tonnes. Soil Warrrior can also be equipped with a swing pipe for injecting liquid manure.

A steerable cart option is available for keeping the row units exactly in line where producers want them. It’s compatible with John Deere’s steering system and the Trimble AgGPS True Tracker.

Waiting for an undersized auger or conveyor to unload a truck is one of the more onerous farm tasks.

Convey-All Industries claims its conveyers can unload a semi trailer in five to six minutes and put up to 10,000 bushels of cereals in the bin per hour.

Steve Froese, the company’s business development manager, said including a power plant in the conveyors makes the units easier to operate by one person.

The 1090 conveyor is 90 feet long with a 16 inch belt in a 10 inch tube. “(It) now features a 48 horsepower Isuzu diesel engine, which allows this unit to become completely self contained,” Froese said.

“It’s completely hydraulically powered, so you have no pulleys, no belts, no chain and sprockets.”

The company also offers conveyers with a 22 inch belt in a 14 inch tube.

The self-propelled auger is hydraulically steered at the front wheels.

The hydraulic-powered drive wheels are located on the main axle at the back of the conveyor, which is where the hydraulic scissor lift is mounted.

The conveyor’s maximum operating angle is 30 degrees. An adjustable discharge hood, which maximizes product flow at various operating angles, is designed to match multiple operating angles.

The optional swing-out for unloading belly-dump trailers, trucks and grain carts is operated at the hydraulic control station at the front of the machine.

It “will swing all the way around to the other side of the conveyer so you’ve got flexibility to unload your vehicle from either side of the conveyer,” Froese said.

Operators raise and lower the hopper in and out of transport position from the control station at the front of

STEVE FROESE CONVEY-ALL INDUSTRIES

the machine. There is also an auxiliary belt on and off control at this front control position, and a control for the intake hopper, which is operated separately from the main conveyor control.

The main control station is located near the engine, which is where wheel drive and steering controls are located. There is a lockout control for a quick shutdown, engine ignition control, a LED work-light control and instrumentation for hydraulic pressure, oil pressure and engine r.p.m.

The conveyor has a positive drive system, which reduces belt slippage by automatically adjusting the conveyor tension to match changing loads and conditions.

Convey-All Industries offers five drive options for its conveyors: electric, hydraulic, gas, diesel and power take-off.

A bristle brush belt cleaner kit is available, which helps keep the conveyer clean when transferring wet or sticky products such as freshly treated seed.

The conveyor tube is available in steel or stainless steel with stainless steel ends.

The machine comes standard with a 2 -5/16 inch ball and an adjustable towing hitch with three heights.

APPLICATION | METERING

Chemical mixing system safe, efficient pit stop No electric pump, flow meter | Producer turns the valves to transfer product to stainless steel metering tanks

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Saving time is becoming increasingly critical in every aspect of a farm operation.

It is no wonder that a company has set out to save producers time with its Pit Stop Chemical System (PSCS). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys always wanted something more reliable, fast and clean,â&#x20AC;? said Frank Miller, general manager of JD Skiles Co. in Atwood, Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come in and complain that their 12 volt chem pump quit or that they were always using more chemical than they were supposed to. They constantly needed to recalibrate their flow meters and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think they were accurate.â&#x20AC;?

Farmers also complained about how long it took to mix a batch and load it on the sprayer. Thirty to 45 minute loading times were common.

As well, producers did not enjoy smelling like chemicals after handling it all day during the loading process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the past couple years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen more business coming out with chemical transfer systems, yet most of them use electric pumps and flow meters,â&#x20AC;? said Miller.

JD Skiles built its own system, which it said eliminated the common complaints. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We created a proven system thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extremely accurate,â&#x20AC;? said Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You physically see the amount youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting on every time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very reliable, with no electronics to short out or quit functioning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast, one-man operation. To our knowledge, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing on the market faster without pre-mixing. Most importantly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe and easy to operate, without the need and safety concern of handling the chemicals, just turning valves.â&#x20AC;?

The company wanted to avoid common problems such as transfer pumps, flow meters, and product handling when developing its chemical transfer system.

The only electronic part on the PSCS is the engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electric start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mere pit stop and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re back to spraying,â&#x20AC;? said Miller.

The operator simply turns valves to use an enclosed vacuum to quickly and accurately measure and transfer chemical batches to the sprayer. This moves the chemical from its respective container to a stainless steel metering tank for a clear visual of the product.

The company provides a step-bystep manual that takes users through the operation procedure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By turning valves, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to pull the chemical into the stainless steel metering tank to measure it via sight gauge (which can be scaled in gallons or litres) and then right onto

the sprayer,â&#x20AC;? said Miller.

A stainless steel inductor (turbo tank) with a jug cut and rinse system allows it to be used with jugs or dry product. The tank can be placed on either a stationary stand or a pulldown unit for convenience.

Each tank is equipped with a rinse system, which the company claims makes the system easy to clean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once all the chemicals are loaded, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll open a full flow valve to top your sprayer off with water,â&#x20AC;? said Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the water flows through the sys-

tem, it washes it.â&#x20AC;?

Total down time is five to 10 minutes, based on total gallons.

Depending on customer needs, the PSCS usually costs US$8,000 to $10,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main thing that affects the price is the customization and number of stainless steel metering tanks, which are usually done when ordering,â&#x20AC;? said Miller.

The system can be built to sit at the fill station or ride with the sprayer.

HOGS | PRODUCTION COSTS

Pork producers can influence profits Cost of production study | Producers can make more money if they control costs, even when times are tough

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Record pork prices have provided welcome relief for an industry plundered by severe losses since 2008.

Losses averaged $20 per pig for the last several years, and producers abandoned the business in droves.

The 370 operations remaining in Alberta need successive years of prosperity to rebuild lost equity.

“We may have recovered about half of the losses that were incurred,” Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak, said at the organization’s annual meeting held in Calgary Nov. 6.

“We all know people who got lost along the way before we finally had the chance to reap the benefits after seven years of pain.”

The worst year was 2012, when losses were around $60 per pig.

Alberta Pork, with financial help from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency, embarked on a three-year study to look at the cost of production and profitability on 30 operations.

The benchmarking study found

tremendous variation in profits, losses and costs from 2011-13, said Murray Roseke of Alberta Pork.

“Prior to participation in the pilot project, producers were not aware of their above average costs,” he said at the Red Deer swine technology workshop Nov. 5.

Benchmarking studies are common in the United States, but a hard look at what it costs to produce a kilogram of pork was unique in this country.

The study does not identify individual operations, although the information is available to those who want to compare themselves to the data collected. The reports included the number of pigs weaned per sow per year, weaning weights and days to market. It also worked out the cost of producing one kilogram of pork.

The study found producers who did some things extremely well still turned a profit, albeit a small one, even during cycles of intense losses.

The biggest loss over the three-year period under study was $57.60 per hog and the highest profit was $5.97 per pig.

ALBERTA HOG INDUSTRY IN GOOD SHAPE Feed costs and feed conversion rates were key to hog producer profitability during recent lean years, according to a cost of production study conducted with Alberta hog producers. The study also found Alberta producers finish pigs 13 days faster than their American counterparts.

Revenues & feed costs ($/hog)

Margin over feed cost

$280 260 240 220 200 180 160 140 120 100 80 60

$180 160 140 120 100 80

Higher feed costs killed profits, but a few producers managed to have a positive balance sheet in 2011 and 2012. Their profits ranged from 39 cents per pig to $5.88 per pig.

The key was keeping down feed costs.

Two producers who made money said they weaned pigs sooner, controlled feed waste, analyzed feed rations, relied on locally produced protein sources and used a grain broker.

A grain broker gets the feed delivered on time, so less inventory is carried and the quality is probably better.

Feed conversion also made a differ-

ence.

In 2012, farmers with the best feed conversion had lower stocking densities and sorted pigs by weight in the finishing phase.

They also paid attention to shipping weights.

The feed conversion gets worse as the animals get bigger, which meant keeping heavier pigs cost money to feed and ultimately did not meet the carcass index.

In 2013, a group of producers were asked to submit their weekly settlement statements from processors from April 1 to May 31.

Profitability had improved by this

time, but some producers made much more money than others.

Some failed to make the carcass grid, and others made more money because they worked with a packer that paid more.

For example, a farmer who ships 10,000 pigs and earns $20 less per pig than a colleague loses $200,000.

“It has nothing to do with the pig because we are shipping the pigs at the same weight,” Roseke said.

“It’s just the guys who are concentrating on hitting the packer grid, weighing those pigs.”

Other produces used forward contracting, which made a huge difference.

The high cost of utilities also affected profitability. Alberta Pork is arranging to have 50 to 70 energy audits done on farms at no cost to producers to see where improvements can be made.

The audits will monitor energy use and make suggestions to the farm on what could be done differently. The return on investment will be included.

For example, installing LED lights in the barns will take a year to pay back. Solar panels for electricity could take nine years to pay back.

The study also had some good news.

When compared to a similar American benchmark study, it was found Alberta can finish pigs 13 days faster than the U.S. and save $10 per pig by doing so.

“Why do we send hundreds of thousands of pigs to the U.S. to be finished?” asked Roseke.

Alberta Pork is working with Alberta Agriculture to examine competitiveness between the two regions and assess why thousands of pigs are still exported south for finishing.

Antibiotic resistance an ‘emerging crisis’ On-farm use | Public health concerns are changing the way antibiotics can be used in animal agriculture

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

ATLANTA, Ga. — Common infections killed thousands every year before the age of antibiotics.

Women died of infection after childbirth, pneumonia killed 30 percent of those who contracted it and 70 percent of meningitis patients died. Ear infections caused deafness.

Rheumatic fever and heart failure could result from a sore throat.

Bacterial resistance followed as soon as antibiotics were introduced, and today it is considered a major public health issue, said scientists at a conference devoted to antibiotic use and bacterial resistance in Atlanta Nov. 12-14.

The problem was originally considered manageable because the growth of resistance was slow and the pharmaceutical industry continued to create new antibiotics for human and veterinary medicine.

All that has changed.

“This is an emerging crisis internationally, and especially in animal agriculture,” said Lonnie King, dean of the college of veterinary medicine at Ohio State University.

On the agriculture side, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration released a three-year plan to voluntarily eliminate the use of medically important drugs in the feed and water of food-producing animals to increase weight gain or feed efficiency.

A total of 283 products in seven classes of antimicrobials used for growth promotion are commonly available over the counter.

By 2016, these will be available only by prescription.

The response has been mixed, said Dr. Bill Flynn at the FDA’s Centre for Veterinary Medicine.

MORE ON ANTIBIOTICS • Antimicrobial drugs include all drugs that work against a variety of micro-organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

• An antibiotic drug is effective against bacteria.

• All antibiotics are antimicrobials, but not all antimicrobials are antibiotics.

• Antimicrobial resistance is when bacteria or other microbes become resistant to the effects of a drug after being exposed to it. This means that the drug, and similar drugs, will no longer be effective against those microbes.

“There are concerns, and we recognize that,” he said.

However, government agencies want to know what kind of antibiotic use is happening on farms. The information could improve stewardship programs to make better use of available medications, reduce resistance and prevent the spread of resistant infections.

The FDA has tracked trends since 1996 by following resistance patterns in food-borne pathogens, including isolates and residues collected from food-producing animals.

The agency also collects antibiotic sales and distribution information, and two years ago it asked for public comments on other ways to enhance existing sales data and summarize it into useful information.

The U.S. Center for Disease Control has attempted to measure the level of resistance and antibiotic use in the United States, but one veterinarian suspects the true prevalence is under

“Antimicrobial resistance is a real phenomenon, and it is complex and it is incompletely understood,” said Brian Lubbers of the Kansas State University’s veterinary medicine college.

The World Health Organization and World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) have also attempted similar assessments.

He said practitioners welcome the FDA proposal to get a better handle on what is happening on farms by ending over-the-counter sales of antibiotics.

As a veterinarian, he does not want antibiotics eliminated from animal care programs.

“Treatment can make a difference, and it is important we do not lose that ability to make that difference,” he said.

The OIE has a list of antimicrobials that are of veterinary importance.

These are rated as critically important, highly important and important.

Critically important antimicrobials include penicillins, phenicols, sulphonamides, tetracylines and cephalosporins.

For example, cephalosporins can be used to treat footrot, mastitis in dairy cattle, metritis in cattle, respiratory disease in cattle, swine and goats and forms of E. coli in chicks and turkey poults.

It has also been known since 2007 that 60 percent of mannheimia haemolytica isolates showed multi-drug resistance to three or more classes of antimicrobials.

BEEF MARKETING | SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable beef plan tested on Alta. farms

Supplements increase risk of urea toxicity ANIMAL HEALTH

Audited and certified | The pilot project will test the concept from ranch to feedlot

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The practical side of beef sustainability is being tested in Alberta.

For the McDonald’s fast food chain, a philosophy of sustainability in beef production is part of its future marketing plan for the billions of beef patties it sells each year.

Canada will pilot the project, starting in 2016.

“Producers in Canada are doing such an excellent job, but folks don’t know that,” said Fawn Jackson of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

The concept is based on the principles agreed upon by the Global Round Table on Sustainable Beef.

Canada is one of the few nations to create its own round table, where concepts of sustainability can be shaped to fit domestic production practices.

McDonald’s and Loblaws are part of the Canadian group, along with JBS and Cargill. Producer groups are also involved. Calgary area rancher Cherie Copithorne-Barnes chairs the initiative.

McDonald’s chose Canada to launch

its sustainable program partly based on what has been done with traceability, the Environmental Farm Plan program and the verified beef program. Eighty percent of Canadian beef producers have taken the quality assurance program training, but only 20 percent have taken it to the next step, in which they are audited and certified.

Jackson said one of the goals is to encourage more producers to complete the full certification.

McDonald’s has developed a steering committee comprising stakeholders to advise on the pilot project, which will include testing the concepts from the ranch to the feedlot.

“They are willing to listen to producers about what they have to say and gather the knowledge they have,” she said.

There is no prescribed way of doing things. It will be outcomes based, in which each operation must show how it meets the criteria of protecting the land, air and water as well as taking care of animals and people.

McDonald’s is a member of the global round table, which arrived at

a definition of sustainability at its recent meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

There are over-arching goals, but each region can decide how it wants to prove its beef sector is sustainable.

The round table defines sustainable beef as a socially responsible, environmentally sound and economically viable product.

The round table includes 70 groups, including the Rainforest Alliance, World Wildlife Federation, beef processors, producer associations, retailers and food companies that want continuous improvement for the beef sector.

The Global Round Table on Sustainable Beef’s core principles are: • production and delivery • natural resources • people and the community • animal health and well-being • food • efficiency and innovation.

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

Producers must know the content of feed and properly mix it

I

recently spoke to a veterinarian who had tentatively diagnosed urea toxicity in a group of sheep.

It reminded me of the importance of preventing these conditions by being aware of what is fed to cattle and sheep, especially with regard to protein supplements.

Protein is an essential component of rations for cattle and sheep. Most of it comes in the form of “natural protein,” but ruminant diets can occasionally contain a non-protein nitrogen source such as urea.

Many of our common feedstuffs naturally contain some level of nonprotein nitrogen.

Simple stomached animals, such as pigs and chickens, cannot make use of large concentrations of non-protein nitrogen in the way that ruminants can.

Urea is the most common nonprotein nitrogen source added to cattle and sheep feed. Its goal is to supply nitrogen to the bacteria in the rumen.

Urea is broken down to ammonia in the rumen, and the ammonia, which contains nitrogen, is used by bacteria in the rumen to produce microbial protein. This microbial protein can serve as an additional protein source.

The rumen absorbs the ammonia that rumen microbes don’t use and converts it back to urea in the liver for excretion.

Ruminants are able to use nonprotein nitrogen sources, which are often economical and can serve as a replacement for some of the animal’s protein requirements.

This process requires adequate energy sources in the rumen so that the bacteria can convert the ammonia into protein.

In most cases, including an energy source such as grain or molasses in the diet improves urea use.

Inadequate energy or feeding too much urea can allow large amounts of ammonia to enter the bloodstream and possibly exceed the liver’s capacity to remove it, which can result in toxicity.

The rumen can gradually adapt to higher levels of non-protein nitrogen, but that rumen adaptation is quickly lost if the cattle or sheep go without the non-protein nitrogen source for more than a day. Previous levels of non-protein nitrogen may then cause toxicity.

Clinical signs usually occur quickly after ingestion of the non-protein nitrogen source: within 30 minutes to four hours.

Animals will appear weak and have an increased respiratory rate. They may have tremors, excessive salivation and appear unco-ordinated.

They may eventually bloat and have severe muscular spasms before death.

Urea toxicity is difficult to treat because death occurs quickly.

A veterinarian can take blood samples from live animals for ammonia concentrations, which can help with the diagnosis.

Treatment focuses on lowering ammonia absorption from the rumen.

Two to six litres of vinegar are often used to lower the pH of the rumen to minimize ammonia absorption.

It is vitally important to closely read all feed tags and check for urea content in protein blocks, liquid supplements and range cubes.

Producers who are adding a supplement containing urea to a mixed feed should make sure that the ration is thoroughly mixed so that the urea is distributed evenly throughout the feed.

Urea cannot be top dressed on feed.

It must be thoroughly mixed.

Non-protein nitrogen sources should be used only when a readily available energy source is available, such as good quality forage, grain or molasses.

However, it is important to note that the molasses contained in many liquid supplements will not be an adequate energy source when combined with low quality forages. As a rule of thumb, do not feed supplements containing urea to animals that are receiving only a low quality forage diet.

Calves less than 400 pounds and young lambs should not be fed urea.

Animals that are fed urea supplements should receive them daily. A continuous intake is necessary to keep the rumen microbes adapted.

Consult a veterinarian or a nutritionist to determine the appropriate level of urea to be fed to animals because the level will change, depending on the level of carbohydrate in the ration fed.

Non-protein nitrogen sources such as urea are often used as an economical ingredient, which can improve the crude protein levels of ruminant diets.

It is important for producers to know if any of the supplements they feed to their animals contain significant levels of non-protein nitrogen such as urea.

They can then manage this ingredient appropriately and ensure there are no significant toxicity issues.

LIVESTOCK TESTING | GENOMIC PROFILING

Livestock genomics firm pleased to be on its own Self-sustaining | Delta Genomics praises Western Development Fund

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Funding cutbacks are usually a time of tears, not celebration, but Delta Genomics is celebrating the end of its government funding.

The livestock genomics company, which began at the University of Alberta and is now almost completely self-sustainable, celebrated its independence Nov. 13.

“This is a recognition of the (Western Economic Development) funding and its success, and we’re completely independent now and selfsustaining,” said Colin Coros, chief executive officer of Delta Genomics.

Staff have tested more than 100,000 livestock samples since 2011, when Delta Genomics was created from the U of A’s Livestock Gentec program.

This year, the company hopes to take 40,000 samples.

Most of the testing has been on samples sent from purebred beef and hogs and some dairy producers.

Coros said identifying key traits in animals will soon be just as common as requesting a semen test from a bull.

“I think it is becoming the norm in the seed stock industry. Within the next two years, I think 80 percent of the seed stock industry in Canada in the beef sector will be doing it. Now

100 percent of the dairy bulls in Canada have a genomic profile done on them,” said Coros.

“If we can identify the animals that are more feed efficient and progeny with higher average daily gain and better calving ease, then those are the ones they want to keep on the farm and the ones that don’t rank high, those are the one they will want to put in the marketplace.”

Most of the samples sent for genetic testing are from purebred herds, but Coros can see a growing interest from commercial breeders, who for example would want to know which animals will be polled or horned.

Coros expects commercial breeders to begin testing their replacement heifers for feed efficiency and other

2014 SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

traits that are desirable in replacement heifers.

The company expects a five to 10 percent increase in testing in the next two to three years, he added.

The pork industry has also begun using genomics testing to search for the best breeds for nucleus herds and animals that will likely be the most disease resistant.

“We would be testing for animals that show higher likelihood of disease resistance,” he said.

“For some of the diseases, we are finding some genetic link to disease resistance. If we can decrease the impact five, 10, 25, 30 percent, it has a big impact on the industry.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26 WEATHER | NATURE’S BEAUTY

Feast and friends make saintly day COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

t looks like the skies are going to cloud over and we’re going to get some real fall weather.

However, we had a string of days that make a person glad to be alive and outside in the northern Plains with the leaves turning, the geese flying, the sun shining and the air cooling just enough to feel crisp but not frozen.

As if that kind of weather wasn’t enough to bring you closer to God, I tripled down on one of those beautiful Sundays this fall and visited three saints here on the prairie.

The day began with me serving as the guest pastor at two Lutheran churches in northwestern North Dakota. My sermon was based on the week’s lesson from the 22nd chapter of the gospel of Matthew, rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and rendering unto God what is God’s.

I haven’t given a lot of sermons, but I’ve listened to a lot of them. I actually enjoyed the spiritual exercise of thinking, contemplating and

delivering a 10 or 15 minute sermon with nothing but a few notes written down on a yellow pad of paper.

Sermons done, I went to see the three saints.

First stop was the St. Anthony Catholic Church dinner in Donnybrook for my wife and me. Pork roast, all the fixings, church members selling tickets, serving food and bussing tables. It was all good, including the pie for dessert.

St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost articles, and I think everyone at the dinner at least found their appetite and some conversation with friends and neighbours.

The second saint I stopped to see that day was at St. Benedict, a Catholic country church in the scenic Turtle Mountains. My 10-year-old son joined me for the church supper and bingo held there.

St. Benedict is the patron saint of students, so I was glad I took my fifth grader along for the ride and the supper.

The third saint of the day came after the supper when I drove the car up to the base of Butte St. Paul, a point 2,201 feet above sea level in the Turtle Mountains that we know are more hills than mountains but nonetheless are beautiful.

My son and I and a friend made the hike to the top. We read the story about Father Belcourt naming the point Butte St. Paul after he spent a night burrowed into the snow there

with his guides and sled dogs during a horrendous January blizzard in 1850.

He gave a mass up there after the storm subsided, erected a wooden cross and renamed the point Butte St. Paul. The Anishinabe people called the place Otaccamabawin, “place from which to see far.”

The wooden cross has been replaced with a 12-foot-high stone cairn with a small cross at the top. You can still see far from there. It is still a beautiful place.

It is also a good place to hike with a 10-year-old boy and it’s not so steep that you can’t play catch with the football as you make the hike, like we did.

St. Paul’s patronage includes missionaries such as Father Belcourt and writers like yours truly. The butte brought Father Belcourt through a blizzard and it brought me through another deadline with a column topic as I visited my third saint on a picture perfect autumn Sunday.

As St. Paul would say: “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely ... dwell on these things.” Definitely lovely to look across the prairie from that butte and play catch with a 10-year-old.

Going into this deal, AGI sales were mostly outside of Canada, whereas 83 percent of Westeel’s business was domestic. Once the deal closes, the new AGI will have a bigger presence in Canada thanks to the Westeel line. It will also benefit from Westeel’s business in southern Europe, North Africa and India.

Positive U.S. economic data and natural resource stocks lifted indexes. For the week, the TSX was up one percent, the S&P 500 increased 0.4 percent, the Dow rose 0.3 percent and the Nasdaq jumped 1.2 percent.

FARM EQUIPMENT MFG. NAME MANUFACTURING | ACQUISITION

Ag Growth eyes new markets Westeel purchase | Winnipeg company acquires major competitor and famous brand

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An iconic brand in the grain storage business, Westeel, is changing hands.

Ag Growth International has an agreement to buy Westeel from Vicwest Inc. for $221.5 million in cash.

They are both Winnipeg companies.

“Westeel provides a complementary product offering to expand our growth platform within North America and around the world,” said Ag Growth president Gary Anderson.

Ag Growth is a leading manufacturer of augers, belt conveyors, storage bins, grain handling accessories and grain aeration and drying equipment.

Its brands include Batco Manufacturing conveyors, Hi Roller conveyors, Westfield Industries augers, Tramco bulk handling equipment and Twister grain bins.

The company has a long history of mergers and acquisitions, dating back to its formation in 1996.

The addition of Westeel would boost annual revenues by 44 percent to $580 million for the 12 months that ended Sept. 30.

Marc Robinson, an analyst with Cormark Securities, said the takeover had been circulating in the rumour mill for years.

“It has been talked about for as long as I’ve followed the company, so I’m just curious — why now?” he said during the question and answer session of Ag Growth’s conference call

with investment analysts.

“The reality is that it was available now. It really wasn’t at other times,” said Anderson.

“We had to go our own way for a while but never quit our desire to dance with the prettiest girl in the room. We just had to wait around and wait for the right time.”

Anderson said the deal improves Ag Growth’s geographic balance.

“AGI is much larger in the U.S. and Westeel is much stronger in Canada,” he said.

Before the acquisition, 53 percent of Ag Growth’s sales were in the United States, 21 percent in Canada and 26 percent internationally.

Forty percent of Ag Growth’s revenue will be in the U.S., 38 percent in Canada and 22 percent internationally if Vicwest’s shareholders and government regulators approve the agreement.

Anderson said the takeover gives Ag Growth the scale to compete in the global arena.

Westeel’s focus on Europe, the Middle East and North Africa complements Ag Growth’s presence in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia and Australia.

The acquisition also brings balance to the product lineup. Ag Growth sells a lot of grain handling equipment, while Westeel’s focus is on storage.

Ag Growth already sells grain storage products, but Westeel brings additions to the catalogue, including smooth-wall bins, hopper cones and

commercial hopper bottom bins.

Vicwest’s board of directors and officers, who control 15.6 percent of the company’s outstanding shares, have agreed to vote in favour of the deal. However, it must now be approved by at least two-thirds of shareholders.

The Ag Growth-Vicwest acquisition is part of a wider deal where all the shares of Vicwest are sold to Irish insulation maker Kingspan Group plc and there is a simultaneous transfer of the Westeel business and assets to Ag Growth.

Kingspan will retain what was Vicwest’s building products division.

“The board of directors of Vicwest concluded that operating a construction business and agricultural business under one umbrella is no longer the ideal structure for the long-term,” Vicwest president Colin Osborne said in a news release.

“After very robust and competitive processes for both Westeel and Vicwest Building Products, we are confident that this transaction delivers the highest value for Vicwest shareholders.”

Greg Coleman, an analyst with National Bank Financial, wondered if government regulatory approval includes a review by Canada’s Competition Bureau.

He estimated that Westeel controls 60 percent of the Canadian marketplace for grain handling and storage products and Ag Growth another eight to 10 percent.

“Putting the two together, it could be sizeable in certain regions,” he said.

“I’m just wondering if there’s any questions or concerns about anticompetition there, having too much of the market under one roof.”

Anderson said he believes that won’t be an issue.

“It’s a very competitive environment. A lot of the U.S. players are participating in Canada,” he said.

Steve Sommerfeld, Ag Growth’s chief financial officer, said the company must file a pre-merger notification with government regulators.

“Farmers in Canada aren’t going to be disadvantaged from this transaction, and we feel very confident that we’ll get a favorable ruling from the regulators,” he said.

Anderson said the future is bright for the grain handling and storage business.

He credited the demise of CWB’s marketing monopoly, the trend by farmers to buy and store seed and fertilizer to mitigate price risks and the potential for increased corn acres in Western Canada as opportunities to increase sales in North America.

He also said storage practices in other parts of the world are far inferior to North American standards, which creates a huge infrastructure gap between ports and producers.

“This represents an enormous opportunity for AGI,” said Anderson.

The deal is expected to close during the first quarter of next year if the appropriate approvals are achieved. sean.pratt@producer.com

Retiring allowances can offer tax shelters, deferrals MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

Retiring allowances can be rolled into an RRSP or registered pension plan

A

retiring allowance for longtenured officers or employees of a corporation is a standard element of compensation packages in Canada.

Credit for unused sick leave may also be included in the amount.

However, retiring allowances don’t include pension benefits, vacation pay, salary, wages, bonuses, overtime or wages in lieu of termination notice.

The allowance is also available to employees or principals of corporate farming operations.

To be eligible, the corporate farm must have existed before 1995 and the farmer must have been in the employ of the corporation before that year.

Taking advantage of the retiring allowance is a good way to transfer funds from the farm tax-free.

Depending on how you invest the funds, it is one of the few tax shelter opportunities that allow you to defer taxes on most if not all of the amount.

The retiring allowance can be rolled over to a registered pension plan or Registered Retirement Savings Plan without affecting your contribution room for the same year. This is because the rollover is made outside the general RRSP rules.

Such a rollover can be made only to your RRSP and may not be made to a spousal RRSP. However, there are limits to the amount that can be transferred.

If your employment started before Jan. 1, 1996, you can roll over all or a portion of your retiring allowance tax free.

Unfortunately, the roll-over provisions do not apply if you started work with the corporation after 1995.

The size of your retiring allowance will partially determine how much will qualify for favourable tax treatment.

The exact amount depends on a number of factors. If your retiring allowance is less than these factors allow, all of it may be transferred. If it is greater, the following factors limit the amount you may shelter: • The number of years before 1989 you were employed by the corporation times $3,500. However, this amount is reduced to $1,500 per year if your employer contributed to an registered pension plan or Deferred Profit Sharing Plan on your behalf.

• In addition, you get to shelter $2,000 for each year of service between 1989 and 1995 regardless of registered pension plan or DPSP contributions.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | NOVEMBER 20, 2014

Let’s say you were given a retiring allowance of $30,000 in 2014, the year of your retirement.

Your earned income in 2013 was $66,000 with a pension adjustment reported by your employer in 2013 of $10,800.

The earned income and the pension adjustment amount will be used in calculating your regular RRSP room and has no tax implication regarding this special transfer.

So, if you were employed since 1987, you could shelter $7,000 of your

retiring allowance (two years multiplied by $3,500 for years 1987-88).

Added to that amount would be seven years times $2,000 for years 198995, or $14,000.

That means you could transfer $21,000 of your $30,000 retiring allowance plus your annual RRSP contribution for 2014.

Revenue down but profits up at Rocky Mountain Dealerships Company says machinery maintenance compensated for lost revenue from new and used equipment sales SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Rocky Mountain Dealerships reports lower revenue but improved profits for the third quarter.

The company said sales of new and used equipment declined but revenue from machinery maintenance, repair and parts increased.

Revenue fell to $230.8 million, down 15 percent from the same quarter last year.

Equipment sales decreased by $39.8 million or 18.6 percent during

the quarter, with reduced used equipment sales responsible for most of the decline. Late seeding and lower crop prices reduced farmers’ optimism.

Revenue from parts and service rose to $45.6 million, up from $43 million in the same period in 2013, the company said. Net earning rose to $6.2 million, up almost five percent.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased by 5.2 percent to $10.8 million.
