CROPPING DECISIONS

Farmers should plan to secure adequate seed

BY ED WHITE

MI CH ELL E

ILL US TR AT ION

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers might have a larger than usual hunger for pedigreed seed this spring, but in some cases there could be less than ever available.

“Our barley yield fell almost in half, just because of the stress of the season,” said western Manitoba seed grower Eric McLean.

“Now, (the industry) is frantically trying to find barley for those who want to grow barley, and there isn’t much out there.”

Seed growers on the eastern Prairies, who were hit hard last summer by flooding, saturation and disease problems, have produced much less than they usually would.

At the same time, commercial grain growers are expected to plant more certified seed this spring because their own saved seed often doesn’t look good even after cleaning.

“I don’t think there’s going to be as much re-use,” said Brennan Turner of the SeedLead online seed marketplace.

“Guys are going to try to clean up as much as possible, but at the same time you want to put a quality product in the ground.”

Seed growers in southern Alberta produced adequate seed supplies, but McLean said farmers can’t assume that all crop types and varieties were equally produced.

He said hoped-for supplies might not exist if certain kinds of production were concentrated in certain areas.

McLean said that’s especially true

with smaller crops such as barley and flax, which have shrunk in acreage.

His flax yield was 17 bushels per acre last year, which was down significantly from 42 bu. per acre in 2013.

As well, barley seed growers have been following the lead of commercial farmers, who have slashed their barley acres and moved to other crops in recent years.

It means big percentage losses can ensue when bad weather hits the remaining acreage, like it did last year.

McLean said commercial grain growers were able to shift their acres around in the flood zones to grow whatever looked most promising, considering the wet soil and short season, but seed growers couldn’t be as flexible.

“We don’t have the option to cut and paste what we sow. Those fields have a purity history and we have to maintain that,” he said.

“There was no plan. It was whatever dried up first, that’s the crop that got planted.”

As he scrambles to find barley seed for customers who need it this spring, McLean rues his decision last year to clear storage of 2013 pedigreed barley because he needed room for the 2014 crop he assumed was going to arrive.

“I dumped 10,000 bushels of the prettiest barley we’ve ever grown into the feed market because there was no demand for the seed,” said McLean.

“I wish I had kept every bushel of that.” ed.white@producer.com

Federal gov’t to revamp security program

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal government has tabled legislation that will transform Canada’s producer payment security system.

Bill C-48, the Modernization of Canada’s Grain Industry Act, paves the way for the Canadian Grain Commission to create a producer compensation fund to protect growers when a licensed grain buyer fails to pay for deliveries.

“That’s good news for producers,” said Rob Brunel, chair of Keystone Agricultural Producers’ grains, oilseeds and pulse committee.

The farm group has been pushing for a fund-based system ever since Scott Wolfe Management recommended it as the most efficient payment security option in a 2009 report.

The fund would replace the existing bonding system, which is capital intensive, expensive to maintain and has failed to adequately cover growers when grain companies have gone under.

Feds revamp program “It’s a positive step. Nobody was really satisfied with the bonding in the current state, so I think the fund mechanism has promise,” said Brunel.

The Canadian Grain Commission had been exploring an insurancebased option that was supposed to be in place in time for the 2014-15 crop year, but that option was derailed when negotiations with Atradius Credit Insurance fell apart in July.

KAP president Doug Chorney wrote an opinion piece that ran in The Western Producer in September that was critical of the commission’s failed attempt and pushed for the adoption of a fund-based system.

At that time he had no clue the government was contemplating Bill C-48.

“I didn’t know it was even in the works. It was almost like they wrote it after reading my op-ed,” he said with a laugh.

“Hats off to them for taking the lead on this and listening to farmers.”

Brunel was also blindsided by the government’s quick response to the failed insurance-based scheme.

“There really wasn’t an inkling. In some ways, it did catch us by surprise, but it was a good surprise.”

Details about how the fund will work are scant. The grain commission was contacted for this story but nobody was available for an interview.

According to a government news release, licensees would contribute to the fund based on their expected risk of failure and volume of grain purchases.

They would essentially be pooling the risk of payment failure rather than putting up individual bonds. “ The hope is this system will remove costs from the payment security options and make it more affordable,” said Chorney.

“Even though the licensees are the ones who are supposed to be paying into this fund, we know it will all come out of the farmers’ basis levels.”

The current system requires a significant amount of capital in the form of bonds or letters of credit.

The 2009 report by Scott Wolfe Management determined that $440 million was tied up in security with the commission at that time. The report estimated the system cost the grain industry $9 million a year to operate.

There are some estimates that the

amount of capital tied up today has blossomed to $1 billion. Despite the huge dollar amount in posted bonds, there have been a number of cases where there wasn’t enough security to fully cover producers.

“Over time there has been some pretty major holes in this mechanism,” said Brunel.

He believes a fund would provide better coverage, but he hopes Ottawa will rely heavily on producer input in developing the new system.

“What we would like to see going forward is that there is broad consultation from the grain commission and from the federal government about how this fund will work and who will manage it and what it will cost,” said Brunel.

There are many outstanding questions: • What period of time will it cover for outstanding payments?

• Will the fund be commodity specific or industry-wide?

• What crops will be covered?

• Will there be flexibility to add new commodities?

The biggest outstanding question for KAP is whether feed mills will be covered under the new system. They are not covered under the existing bonding system, and that has been problematic.

Manitoba farmers lost more than $1 million when Puratone went out of business two years ago.

“We definitely would like to see feed mills included in this,” said Brunel.

Bill C-48 does expand the program to include container-loading facilities.

Brunel is also concerned about the potential lack of transparency with the way fees will be collected from licensees and how those costs will be buried in the basis.

KAP wants the commission to publicize the rates it is charging grain companies so farmers can calculate the real basis they are getting.

Brunel has heard that the government wants to have the fund in place by the start of the new crop year on Aug. 1, 2015.

The other main feature of Bill C-48 is that it extends producer access to binding determination of grade and dockage to include process elevators, grain dealers and container loading facilities. Currently, that right is limited to licensed primary elevators. sean.pratt@producer.com

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

LIVESTOCK

Diversified insecticides urged However, an agronomist says seed treatments are better than foliar sprays

SPCA to stop investigating animal welfare cases in Sask.

BY ROBERT ARNASON

BY KAREN BRIERE

BRANDON BUREAU

REGINA BUREAU

Using the same insecticidal seed treatment year after year isn’t “good product stewardship,” but it’s a better ecological choice than the alternative, says Greg Sekulic, a Canola Council of Canada agronomist.

“As part of integrated pest management, it seems a little counter-intuitive that we’re applying seed treatment on so many acres,” said Sekulic, who is based in Grande Prairie, Alta.

“What it does, though, is prevent a wider range of application of foliar products, which are far more catastrophic to the hundreds of species of neutral and beneficial insects…. I would argue on the Prairies, and globally, the biggest threat to honeybees is foliar applications of insecticides… made during their flying time.”

Over the last few years, environmental groups, scientists and the media have focused an unprecedented amount of attention on neonicotinoid seed treatments, which are applied to nearly all the canola and corn seed in North America and a large portion of soybean seeds.

Many believe that neonics, the most widely used class of insecticides in the world, are responsible for the reported decline in bee populations in North America.

Sekulic represents the Canola Council on the Honey Bee Health Coalition. The group, formed last June, includes an array of commodity groups, beekeeping associations, scientists and crop protection companies in the U.S. and Canada.

Sekulic is a member of a coalition subgroup, which is studying the best methods for crop pest management.

In November, the Ontario government announced a plan to reduce the amount of corn and soybeans planted with neonic treated seed by

flea beetles are unpredictable and can devastate canola yields.

“The pressure is so high they do overcome our seed treatments very, very regularly,” he said, adding foliar sprays are now common in the Peace River region.

“I would estimate that 40 to 50 percent of the fields that are in canola would require an insecticide application (foliar) every year.”

It seems unnecessary and uneconomic to use both a neonic seed treatment and a spray, but the insecticide on the canola seed is worthwhile because it reduces the likelihood of foliar application, Sekulic said.

The Saskatchewan government is looking for a new agency to investigate animal welfare cases after the Saskatchewan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals announced Jan. 5 it will not renew its contract.

The SPCA and its animal protection officers have provided the service under contract since 1972. The contract expires March 31.

President Constance Roussel said the board unanimously agreed to the move last fall.

“As a charitable organization, the Saskatchewan SP C A is not the appropriate body to be responsible for the enforcement of the legislation (Animal Protection Act),” she said.

“We feel we can better serve the animals and the public by focusing on education and prevention of animal cruelty.”

Roussel said money was not a factor.

The province gave the organization $530,000 in the most recent budget to pay for the six staff members who work in the investigative services program.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said it is up from $180,000 in 2007.

The six staff members will be out of work when the contract ends.

He said the government has or will be contacting organizations to determine interest in taking over the investigative service.

“We think that an independent agency is best for this type of work.”

Most provinces contract with an organization such as the SPCA , although the provincial government provides the service in Manitoba and shares the responsibility with an agency in the Maritimes.

Under Ontario’s proposed plan, farmers must adopt and prove they are using integrated pest management strategies to control insects. If not, they won’t be allowed to buy and use neonic seed treatments.

Sekulic said Ontario’s plan suggests that integrated pest management is a separate and distinct strategy from using insecticides.

“There’s a bit of misnomer that integrated pest management means no chemical crop protection products. That’s not the case.”

A number of Canadian pest management specialists have said farmers are overusing neonic seed treatments and the products are only

needed on 10 to 30 percent of corn and soybean acres.

While he believes neonic seed treatments are preferable to foliar sprays, Sekulic said North America’s ag industry has become too dependent on a single class of insecticides.

“Using one product, on a large number of acres year in and year out, is not good product stewardship,” he said. “Using the same product, or even the same class of product, over and over again is a recipe for developing resistance in your target populations.”

Still, Sekulic said neonic seed treatments remain the best option for Western Canadian growers because

AGRIBUSINESS

Former Viterra boss won’t take Louis Dreyfus gig PARIS/LOND ON (Reuters) — Louis Dreyfus Commodities has announced that newly appointed chief executive officer Mayo Schmidt will not take up the post.

The move forced the global trading group to resume the CEO hunt it first launched in April.

The former head of Viterra had been due to start Jan. 5 after Louis Dreyfus nominated him at the end of November in the latest stage of a corporate shake-up at the 163-year-old family-owned business.

“Following a more detailed analysis of the terms and conditions of their planned employment relationship, Louis Dreyfus Commodities and Mr. Schmidt have jointly decided not to proceed with the engagement,” the company said.

“The search for the CEO of Louis Dreyfus Commodities will resume immediately.”

Whatever the problems were, they appear to have come to a head in the last week of December, given that Schmidt stepped down from the board of Canadian fertilizer company Agrium Inc. Dec. 22 ahead of his planned arrival at Louis Dreyfus.

Traders and analysts had said that Schmidt’s record of building up Viterra through acquisitions before overseeing its sale to Glencore fit the plans of owner Margarita LouisDreyfus, who has overhauled the group since inheriting control from her late husband, Robert, in 2009.

To keep pace with the company’s competitors, Margarita Louis-Dreyfus has raised the possibility of a share listing or acquiring a partner and has overseen the group’s first forays into bond markets.

The appointment of Schmidt, 57, had also been in keeping with Louis Dreyfus’s preference for an external candidate.

WETLANDS

Manitoba districts move to protect marsh Big Grass Marsh land donation is the largest conservation agreement in province’s history

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Two Manitoba municipalities have agreed to preserve the Big Grass Marsh, one of the largest and most ecologically significant wetlands on the Prairies.

It is the largest land donation for a conservation agreement in Manitoba’s history.

The marsh, located north of the Yellowhead Highway and west of Lake Manitoba, was the first conservation project by Ducks Unlimited in Canada and is often referred to as “Duck Factory No. 1.”

“It’s on the major migration route.

That’s why it is such an important breeding ground for ducks,” said Chris Reynolds, who manages the Whitemud Watershed Conservation District and helped craft the agreement to preser ve the Big Grass Marsh.

The rural municipalities of Lakeview

and Westbourne agreed in November to donate 43,000 acres of land in the Big Grass Marsh to the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corp, a non-profit organization that facilitates conservation partnerships.

Stephen Carlyle, MHHC program development manager, said the agreement is significant because of its scale.

“The donation of the conservation easement on Big Grass Marsh … is equivalent to all the wetland focused work that MHHC has completed since 2005,” he said.

“The protection of Big Grass Marsh has a huge ecological impact.”

The Big Grass Marsh is still open for hunting and trapping.

The MHHC and conservation districts quietly preserve small wetlands across southern Manitoba every year.

“Over the last few years, we’ve had lots of conservation agreements (with private landowners) … within

the watershed,” Reynolds said.

“We signed up many small potholes, wetlands, you name it. And we provided money for that because we specifically put money aside for these conservation agreements….

It’s not getting the press it probably deserves.”

MHHC has preserved 3,200 acres of wetlands a year over the last 16 years through conservation easements, which are known as conservation agreements in Manitoba. Landowners receive a one-time payment and agree to conserve the wetland in perpetuity.

Carlyle said easements are preferable to buying a wetland because the landowner maintains a connection to the duck pond.

“We don’t want to take those lands out of the hands of individual land owners,” he said.

“The habitat is there because they’ve been managing it appropriately… and they can continue to manage it.”

Reynolds said easements are the best way to protect wetlands because the agreement preserves the habitat indefinitely but also offers flexibility to the landowner.

“There are certain works that can take place (within the easement) … if you’ve got trees that you’d like to harvest firewood from, or something like that.”

Carlyle said Delta Waterfowl provides funding for conservation agreements in Manitoba, but most of the money comes from the United States.

“We get funding through them (Delta Waterfowl) from individual U.S. states…. That funding allows us to access other U.S. federal funding,” he said. “On the face of it, it seems very odd … but it’s all about where the ducks breed. The people in the U.S. want ducks, and ducks breed in Canada.”

Reynolds said more wetlands could be protected through conservation

easements if more funding was available.

“In some cases the money isn’t actually there,” he said.

“When you’re dealing with land that’s worth $3,000 to $4,000 an acre, it’s pretty tough to go and offer somebody $200 an acre (for a wetland).”

Carlyle said farmers can make more money by draining wetlands and cropping the land. Additional funding would make a difference, but conservation easements will never compete with crop production on pure economics.

“It’s about finding the right landowners that have … a conservation ethic or connection to that land,” he said. “It all comes down to the willingness of the individual landowner.”

Like most marketing campaigns, word of mouth is the dominant factor when it comes to conser vation agreements. robert.arnason@producer.com

IRRIGATION INITIATIVES

Irrigation deal saves centre

Two projects still in limbo

Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre also seeks international investors

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Saskatchewan irrigators say a new five-year agreement has saved the province’s irrigation research centre.

However, money from other countries will be needed to keep the facility on the leading edge.

The Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre (CSIDC) at Outlook was “in peril” when the last agreement expired in 2013, said Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association director Larry Lee. He told the recent SIPA annual meeting that the two industry partners at the centre — SIPA and the Irrigation Crop Diversification Corp.

(ICDC) — were upset when they found out the centre was possibly on

the chopping block.

“We immediately wrote a fairly pointed letter to the minister of agriculture for Canada, carbon copied to our other partners,” Lee said.

“We must have hit a nerve because we immediately got a reply.”

An assistant deputy minister and other officials visited the centre in the fall of 2013.

“As of this year, we’ve signed a new agreement for another five years,” Lee said.

However, he said the fact the federal government could even think of closing the centre continues to cause concern.

The centre began in 1949 as a Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration pre-development farm and gained demonstration farm status in 1967 after the construction of the

Gardiner Dam. It was renamed the Saskatchewan Irrigation Development Centre in 1986 as a result of an agreement between the federal and provincial governments. Two major funding programs were put in place.

SIPA and ICDC joined the partnership in 1998, when it was renamed CSIDC. The University of Saskatchewan came on board for the five-year agreement signed in 2008.

Delegations from other countries visit the centre regularly, and Lee said they often show up after Canadian and Saskatchewan trade missions. Irrigation technology is at the top of many countries’ wish lists and they know exactly where CSIDC is, he added.

However, the programs that funded so much research and development

have been cut.

“Right now we’re pursuing and entering into the possibility of obtaining research dollars from other countries,” Lee said. “ The federal government has opened that door up to us because we have to get more money for research because of cutbacks.”

SIPA chair Roger Pederson said it would be a disaster if the centre closed, and industry has heard the federal government “loud and clear” that it has to take the lead in finding more money.

“There are a number of countries who are willing and able to put money into CSIDC in exchange for some technology that they can get back,” Pederson said. karen.briere@producer.com

GOVERNMENT HAND-OVER

Irrigators want resolution on water works transfer

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Irrigators in southwestern Saskatchewan hope the new year brings resolution to an ongoing dispute over the transfer of federal irrigation works.

Agriculture Canada officials were supposed to reply to the 250 irrigators’ most recent proposal by Dec. 31.

Details of the proposal were unavailable as negotiations continued. Due to holiday season deadlines, it was unknown whether the federal government replied by Dec. 31.

An Agriculture Canada official said Dec. 29 the proposal was under review, and stakeholders would be notified as soon as a decision was made.

However, the irrigators in the six flood projects are frustrated that their attempts to resolve the situation have been unsuccessful, considering the

federal government started the process in the first place.

Ottawa advised irrigators in the Consul/Nashlyn Irrigation District, Eastend Irrigation Corp., Lower Frenchman Water Users Group, Maple Creek Irrigation Project Corp., Rush Lake Irrigation District and West Flat Irrigation Corp. in 2006 that it would divest its ownership and operation of the projects by 2017.

At that time, the government said the works would have to be transferred to the users or shut down.

In 2012, the irrigators presented proposals regarding the transfer, including requests for financial compensation to take over the aging works.

It took two years for the federal government to respond.

“That response initially was not very favourable to anything the projects wanted, but in some visits they had with federal people subsequent

to that, there seemed to be maybe a bit of change on the federal government’s thoughts,” said Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association chair Roger Pederson.

SIPA is not directly involved in the talks but supports viable irrigation in the region, he said.

Federal officials told the irrigators in June that the government would not pay compensation but, according to the irrigators’ newsletter, would consider flexibility in the timing of divestiture, “and that AAFC (Agriculture Canada) recognizes its responsibilities for the cost and effort associated with the eventual decommissioning of the infrastructure.”

Several more meetings have been held, and the irrigators presented their most recent proposal in late November.

“The (irrigation groups) are very dissatisfied with the decision to not

pay compensation,” they said in a December update on their website.

“It is being emphasized that the decision has seriously devalued their land and will negatively affect their ability to acquire hay for the cattle operations, as well as the economic impact it will have on the local communities and southwest Saskatchewan as a whole.”

Pederson said those are serious concerns, particularly considering where the projects are located.

“Why are we expending all this time and energy about shutting something down when it’s the most drought-prone area of the province?”

Pederson said.

Flood irrigation is not the most efficient form of watering, but he said it was the available technology when the works were established. karen.briere@producer.com

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Irrigation might be a priority for the Saskatchewan government, but no decision has yet been made on whether two major projects will go ahead.

The Westside and Qu’Appelle South projects, which would cost $2 billion each, have both been discussed for years.

Bill Greuel, executive director of Saskatchewan Agriculture’s crops and irrigation branch, said preliminary studies are complete for Westside.

The project would add 375,000 irrigated acres along the west bank of the South Saskatchewan River from the Gardiner Dam to Asquith.

Qu’Appelle South, which could include 110,000 irrigated acres, is a supply project designed to take water from Lake Diefenbaker through the Qu’Appelle Dam to the ReginaMoose Jaw corridor for expanded industrial and municipal use. Irrigation would be an added benefit.

Greuel told an annual irrigation conference that the government hasn’t forgot about the projects.

“This is a lot bigger than the ministry of agriculture,” he said.

The project involves the environment, finance and economy ministers, the Water Security Agency and cabinet ministers, he added.

“It’s really a question of competing priorities and how we pay for large infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan,” Greuel said. “We have a government that is committed to agriculture. I also know that irrigation is a priority. I think we also have a climate now in government that’s not afraid to find creative ways to support major infrastructure projects.”

However, the price tags are daunting. The Qu’Appelle project has already increased from an initial estimate of $1.2 billion.

“I doubt we’re going to see an announcement of an investment any time soon,” Greuel said.

However, Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association chair Roger Pederson said a decision has to be made at some point before the projects are priced out of possibility and opportunities pass the province by.

For example, the Emsland Group from Germany has been looking for a North American location to establish a field pea fractionation plant.

“Obviously, the Qu’Appelle South irrigation district, if that was ongoing, would be an excellent location,” Pederson said. “One, because it’s irrigated, one because it’s close to the industrial corridor and the transportation hub.”

He said many companies are looking at the province’s potential, but they want to know what the plan is for the future and when it will be realized.

Meanwhile, Pederson said Saskatchewan and Alberta could see increased potential for irrigated crops because of the California drought.

Nearly 500,000 acres in that state’s Central Valley have been taken out of irrigation because of the drought.

Pederson said Canada obviously can’t produce the nuts and fruits grown in California, but other states will fill that void, which will force crops such as vegetables to look for production acres. karen.briere@producer.com

Russian action to buoy grain prices Political and economic turmoil, including export taxes, expected to influence global grain supply

BY ROBERT ARNASON

15%

BRANDON BUREAU

Political and economic instability in Russia should prop up the wheat market for the next several months, says a CWB markets expert.

The effect could persist into the 2015-16 crop year.

Russia followed up months of speculation by imposing export duties on wheat in late December to help lower domestic bread prices and minimize the risk of public unrest.

The Russian economy, which is highly dependent on petroleum exports, approached or reached a crisis near the end of 2014. Oil prices dropped $50 per barrel since the summer and the ruble lost about 40 percent of its value.

Wheat futures climbed more than 20 percent in fall — from less than $5 per bushel to more than $6 per bu. in Chicago — partly because traders expected Russia to curb grain exports.

Russia, the world’s fourth largest wheat exporter, officially took action after Christmas.

Moscow will impose a 15 percent tax on the value of a wheat export shipment, with an additional duty of $10.50 per tonne, Reuters reported.

The tax will take effect Feb. 1 and possibly end in June.

Because prices had risen on speculation of Russian restrictions, wheat futures in Chicago dropped in response to the news, but some market analysts believe the Russian story and its impact on wheat prices is not over.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty there,” said Neil Townsend, CWB director of market research.

“There are a lot of concerns about the economy in Russia right now.

That’s probably going to heighten the uncertainty…. What makes the market really nervous is the Russian government … What’s to stop them, five months from now, just deciding it’s going to be an outright ban (on wheat exports)?”

Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl said Russian turmoil could affect the global wheat market for years.

“Not just this year but for years to come as well,” he said.

The uncertainty over wheat production extends into Ukraine and other parts of the region, he added.

“If the countries in the former Soviet Union are not allowed to produce and export up to their capabilities, that will reduce overall world stock. That will have an impact on prices.”

Townsend said Moscow’s policy is contradictory because the country’s grain industry is expanding. Domes-

TAX ON WHEAT EXPORTS INTRODUCED

BY RUSSIA

Wheat futures rose in the fall because of uncertainty about Russian exports. Further turmoil could affect global supply for years, analysts say. | FILE PHOTO tic businesses now control a larger share of the wheat trade and are making money exporting Russian grain.

“The people in Russia with money have realized the grain industry is a great business,” he said.

“And gradually the proportion (of Russian grain) sold by multinationals has declined, and the proportion

sold by Russian based companies has increased.”

Those companies could exert pressure on Moscow to loosen trade restrictions, but it’s complicated because people with close ties to the Kremlin are the ones who typically own the grain companies, Townsend said.

Steve Mercer, vice-president of communications for U.S. Wheat Associates, isn’t as convinced the Russian uncertainty has staying power.

Global stocks of wheat are sufficiently large to absorb Russian export restrictions, and the newly harvested crops in Australia and Argentina are now available.

“Barring any political situation, we do see this as short term,” Mercer said.

Nonetheless, recent history indicates that Russian policies can have a considerable influence on wheat prices, he added.

“We certainly remind our customers, when you look at all of the price spikes … almost all of them in the last five to eight years have been related to what Russia’s government has been doing, to intervene in their (domestic) grain market.”

For example, Egypt is one of the largest buyers of Russian wheat.

To w n s e n d s a i d t h e E g y p t i a n s would have to buy wheat from elsewhere if Russian supplies were unavailable.

“Say they (the Russians) can’t do three or four million tonnes to Egypt ... and the Egyptians have to go and get that from (someone else), that would kind of make a sustained increase to the f.o.b. (free on board) prices for a period of time.”

Meanwhile, cold weather and a lack of moisture are hurting Russia’s winter wheat crop.

“Probably about 30 to 40 percent of the coming Russian crop has been suffering quite a bad drought,” Townsend said.

“They’re expecting production in ’15 to be much smaller than it was in 2014.” robert.arnason@producer.com

CANADIAN CROP SUPPLY AND DEMAND

MANAGING IN BAD TIMES

Agriculture Canada increased the forecast for Canadian wheat and canola exports in its supply and demand December update from November, but that was not enough to offset the larger crop estimate. The increase in the production and total supply numbers reflected the latest Statistics Canada farmer survey. While year-end stocks of major crops are up, pulse crop supply at the end of the year will be extremely tight.

Grain farmers could learn a lot from livestock sector when markets take a turn

I

still find it discombobulating to go into hog and cattle meetings and find farmers in a cheery mood.

We’ve now had a couple of years of good profitability, and the rational side of my mind understands that reality. However, over the years I have grown accustomed to such a long patch of struggle and woe in both of those livestock industries that, without realizing it, whenever I’d walk into a hog or cattle meeting I’d be mentally prepared for a mournful and sometimes angry mood.

It was at crop farming meetings where I’d find the optimism.

It’s different today.

In December, I walked into a big hall at the Prairie Livestock Expo in Winnipeg filled with happy hog producers eagerly chatting with trade

show exhibitors and each other about the many actions they’re taking to improve their farms.

Some are converting to gestationstall-free systems to prepare for the demands of the future. Others are improving their manure handling and treatment systems to handle regulatory and environmental challenges.

Everybody is interested in maximizing feed efficiency and meat quality because they see the returns and the premiums of the future coming from those factors.

For once, simply surviving for one more day was not a dominant factor.

That makes for a relatively positive western Canadian farm sector at the beginning of 2015 because good times in livestock are existing beside mediocre times in crop farming.

However, we might see that change during the year as crop farmers slide into the dour mood that had gripped the cattle and hog industries since the early 2000s.

Margins are razor thin, and the entire grain industry is shifting toward lean — or worse — years ahead. If some of the forward price projections are right, growers aren’t going to make any real profits for an extended period, which will leave some exposed to significant risk.

That will be a problem for anyone who is over-extended financially. If

anyone gets a bad crop, they could slide into trouble.

That’s why I think grain farmers should start talking with their hogand cattle-producing neighbours about what they did to survive the bad years.

Hog and cattle farmers who are still in the business obviously did something right in the bad years.

They must have learned some serious lessons about how to manage a farm through times when there are little but risks, losses and pessimism.

Those are lessons they are probably willing to share and which will probably offer grain growers a head start on any retooling they need to do on their farms to come out the other side of this dark tunnel ready for the next era of profitability.

As I found at the Prairie Livestock Expo, optimism returns when profits return, and that’s refreshing. Crop growers might just need to hunker down and take advantage of the lessons their hog and cattle farming neighbours learned through recent awful experiences.

For some sights, sounds and thoughts about the rebounding confidence in the prairie hog industry, look at my blog on our website at www.producer.com, where I’ll have words, photos and video from the Prairie Livestock Expo. ed.white@producer.com

SUPPLY

Agriculture Canada raises forecast for grains-oilseed ending stocks

BY PHIL FRANZ-WARKENTIN COMMODITY NEWS SERVICE CANADA

WINNIPEG — Ending stocks of Canada’s major grain and oilseeds for 2014-15 will likely be larger than earlier forecasts, according to updated supply-demand tables released

by Agriculture Canada’s market analysis branch Dec. 19.

However, ending stocks of pulse crops will be a little smaller than expected.

The department adjusted its supply and demand figures to reflect the Dec. 4 Statistics Canada crop production report that increased the estimated size of the harvest.

The larger supplies prompted Agriculture Canada to adjust its domestic use, exports and ending stocks forecasts.

It now puts total ending stocks for all the major grains and oilseeds at 10.490 million tonnes by the end of the 2014-15 crop year, up from the November estimate of 8.495 million.

Total ending stocks at the end of 2013-14 were 16.974 million tonnes.

The eight major grains and oilseeds include canola, flaxseed, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, corn and rye.

Projected exports of the major grains and oilseeds for 2014-15 are 42.560 million tonnes, up from the November estimate of 41.310 million. Total exports in 2013-14 were estimated at 43.421 million tonnes.

Total domestic use of the various grains and oilseeds for 2014-15 was revised to 39.592 million tonnes from

38.901 million tonnes in November.

That compares with the 2013-14 estimate of 39.950 million tonnes.

The canola carryout was revised up to 1.45 million tonnes for the November outlook of 900,000 tonnes.

Exports and domestic use were revised up but not enough to completely offset the increase in supply.

Canola exports are now forecast at a re c o rd 9 . 2 m i l l i o n t o n n e s, u p 800,000 tonnes from the November outlook. That beats the previous expor t record of 9.094 million tonnes set last year.

Pulse and special crop ending stocks are forecast to be slightly tighter than earlier estimates.

Agriculture Canada pegged 201415 specialty crop ending stocks at 345,000 tonnes, down from the November estimate of 370,000 tonnes. Ending stocks for 2013-14 were pegged at 628,000 tonnes.

The seven major specialty and pulse crops are dry peas, lentils, dry beans, chickpeas, mustard seed, canaryseed and sunflower seed.

Total exports of the seven major specialty and pulse crops are expected to be 5.280 million tonnes in 201415, up from the last estimate of 5.2 million tonnes and 2013-14 exports of 5.237 million tonnes.

Reflecting the Statistics Canada Dec. 4 report, Agriculture Canada pegged 2014-15 total Canadian pulse production at 6.069 million tonnes, down slightly from the November estimate of 6.110 million. In 2013-14, pulse production totalled 6.880 million tonnes.

Weaker oil and loonie good for Canadian agriculture, for now MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

W

est Texas crude oil dipped below $50 per barrel Jan. 5 for the first time since April 2009.

Crude has fallen by about half since last summer, which is contributing to a weaker Canadian dollar.

The Bank of Canada valued the loonie at about US84.8 cents at the start of this week, which is down about 10 percent since the summer.

The weak loonie should support Canadian agricultural exports and on-farm grain prices, while weak oil should put downward pressure on the cost of farm inputs such as diesel and fertilizer.

On the other hand, weaker oil prices can put downward pressure on corn and oilseeds because of the biofuel connection, but they have had little effect so far.

The market will also watch to see if the strong American dollar hurts U.S. grain exports.

Analysts don’t expect a quick turn

around in the loonie or crude oil prices.

In their December economic and foreign exchange outlooks, the major Canadian banks said they expect the loonie will continue to fall against the American dollar, which should rise against most global currencies in 2015.

Canadian economic growth as measured by gross domestic product is expected to climb to more than two percent in 2015 but still lag behind the United States, which is likely to see growth topping three percent.

The oil price decline has mixed effects on both economies, with consumers benefiting but producers feeling pain.

Most expect that the net effect in Canada will be negative because of the relatively larger role oil and gas production plays in the Canadian economy. Energy now accounts for one quarter of all exports and more than a quarter of business capital spending.

The fall in crude will hurt U.S. production regions such as North Dakota and Texas, but the U.S. should be a net beneficiary of lower oil values.

With the economy clipping along and unemployment falling, most analysts expect the U.S. Federal Reserve will increase interest rates this year., which would add support for the U.S. dollar.

The Bank of Canada is less clear

about the need to increase rates.

CIBC thinks the Fed will start hiking rates in spring but that the Bank of Canada won’t move until late in the year, when repeated U.S. rate hikes should have brought the overnight benchmark to the one percent level that Canada already has.

Several banks noted that the Bank of Canada won’t raise interest rates until increased exports and business capital expenditures replace consumer spending and housing as the major economic drivers.

The December foreign exchange outlook from Scotiabank is for a Canadian dollar at 85 cents by the end of the 2015, while RBC Economics is at 84 to 85 cents late in the year and BMO Capital Markets at 84 cents in the fourth quarter.

The CIBC sees the loonie falling as low as 81 cents in the third quarter and 82 in the fourth quarter.

As for oil prices, they should be weak until production in high cost regions is curtailed or global economic growth improves and stimulates demand.

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries has decided over the objections of some members to maintain production in a strategy of short-term pain for longterm gain.

Saudi Arabia, the dominant player in OPEC, wants to maintain its market share.

It hopes low prices will force a sharp

cutback in American shale oil production and Canadian oilsands. High prices had allowed the boom in U.S. oil production over the past couple of years, thanks to fracking and horizontal drilling.

This new production had little impact initially because Iraq was still recovering from the war and Libyan production was off following the civil war there.

However, both countries are again producing oil, adding to the global surplus.

Meanwhile, global demand is off because of the stagnating European economy and slowing growth in China.

Scotiabank noted that a lot of the new oil production in the U.S. and Canada has a break-even cost in the low $60s (West Texas Intermediate) per barrel.

With prices now $10 below that level, Scotiabank sees a “fairly rapid reduction in drilling activity in the United States and Western Canada.�

Wells in shale formations have a short lifespan, and new drilling is constantly needed because production declines without it.

Production should also decline in Russia and other regions for similar reasons, and Scotiabank sees crude climbing back to around $70 by late this year. However, weak prices of less than $80 could be around for several years.

WINTER

CATTLE REPORT There is no Canfax report this week.

In the United States, live cattle prices rallied between Christmas and New Year’s because packers needed supply for the post holiday period.

Cash cattle sold in Kansas and Nebraska at US$166-$169 per hundredweight, as much as $7 higher than the previous week.

Christmas week kill in the United States was lower than expected at 391,000 head, the lowest weekly slaughter in many years. The New Year’s week kill was also lower than expected at 452,000.

The slower pace of slaughter helped packers push beef cutouts higher.

The U.S. Choice wholesale beef price mostly rose around Christmas and New Year’s to $248 per cwt. Jan. 2.

Select rose eight straight days to $238.97. The Chicago live cattle futures contract was 23 percent higher at the end of 2014 than it was at the end of 2013.

The feeder futures contact was 32 percent higher than at the end of 2013.

It was the sixth consecutive yearly gain for the Chicago live cattle futures contract, bolstered this year by the smallest herd in 63 years after producers culled herds for several years because of high feed prices and lingering drought.

Of the 19 commodities listed by the Thomson Reuters-Jefferies CRB index, CME live cattle was the second strongest performer for 2014 behind coffee, which was up 50.5 percent.

Cold weather threatens U.S. wheat The Midwest’s soft red winter wheat crop is at risk of damage as temperatures plummet CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — An arctic blast hitting the U.S. Midwest this week will put a third of the dormant soft red winter wheat crop at risk of damage, agricultural meteorologists said Jan. 5.

“It looks like extensive sub-zero temperatures on Wednesday night (Jan. 7) in the soft wheat belt will leave one-third of the belt at risk for damage,” said Joel Widener, senior forecaster with Commodity Weather Group.

“The cold temperatures will cover even more of the belt, but snow will

fall tonight and provide some partial protection to limit the extent of damage a little bit.”

Overnight lows on Jan. 7 were expected to dip to -20 to -26 C across eastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa and eastward to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and southern Michigan. Forecasters were also calling for 25 to 125 millimetres of snow to fall in the upper Midwest overnight Jan. 5.

Snow cover protects dormant wheat from winterkill when temperatures dip below zero for four

hours or more. The damage can prevent the crop from reaching its full yield potential next summer.

“Outright wheat losses might be five percent or so,” said Don Keeney, senior meteorologist with MDA Weather Services.

The wheat grown in the Midwest is used in snack food and crackers and makes up about a quarter of the U.S. wheat crop. Most of the wheat produced in the United States is hard red winter wheat grown on the Plains.

EVERY CROP NEEDS A SUPERHERO. Someone who fights for higher yields, giving crops the nutrients they need when they’re needed most. Someone who trusts field-proven technologies to more effectively feed crops, save time and boost the bottom line. Be a superhero.

LIVESTOCK REPORT

HOGS STEADY After the year-end holidays, packers were starting to buy for the first full slaughter schedule in two weeks.

There was ample supply for the demand so there was no incentive for packers to increase bids.

Supermarkets are buying pork sparingly until they can clear product left unsold over the holiday, Reuters reported.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$56.50-$57 per hundredweight Jan. 2, up slightly from $56-$56.50 Dec. 26.

U.S. hogs averaged $74.72 on a carcass basis Jan. 2, down from $74.80 D e c . 2 6 . T h e U. S. p o rk c u t o u t dropped to $83.32 per cwt. Jan. 2, down from $87.65 Dec. 26.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Jan. 3 was 1.998 million, up from 1.738 million the previous week. Slaughter was 1.992 million last year at the same time.

BISON There was no report from the Canadian Bison Association.

SHEEP RISE Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 511 sheep and lambs and 10 goats traded Dec. 29.

All sheep, lambs and goats sold higher because of the light run.

An arctic blast hit the Plains hard red winter wheat country in the last week of December, when temperatures dipped well below zero, including south central Nebraska where morning lows fell to -13 C. “There were a few spots in southcentral Nebraska and north-central Kansas that did get to winterkill thresholds, but it was a small area, a couple percent of the belt,” Keeney said.

“The area that will be affected by th e u pco m ing co ld is a bigger area.”

OPINION CRAIG’S VIEW

FREE TRADE

Quebec’s dairy protection law has no place in modern world

I

n early December after years of resisting, Quebec finally changed its Food Products Act to remove a ban on the sale and production of edible oil-based products.

Saskatchewan successfully challenged the law this spring under the Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade, which is designed to ease interprovincial trade barriers within Canada.

To have such laws remaining on the books in Quebec is indefensible, given the country’s recent positions stressing freer trade within international trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, the World Trade Organization, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Europe and the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Saskatchewan has also challenged Quebec laws that prohibit the use of words that Quebec considers unacceptable on certain food product labels. Items made mainly from vegetable oil products with small amounts of dairy in them are not allowed to use words similar to “butter,” “milk,” and “cheese” on their labels.

That challenge was also successful, but the law remains in place while waiting appeal.

Quebec has also appealed the ruling against its edible oil ban but opted to change the legislation while awaiting the appeal decision.

Both legal challenges were supported by Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia.

It is encouraging that Quebec appears to be moving on the edible oil ban, but the labelling law must follow.

Canada’s dairy industry already receives protections through supply management production quotas and tariffs on imported product. That ought to be enough.

The system gives Canada’s dairy producers some of the most stable incomes of farmers anywhere.

To suggest dairy producers require additional help on top of that would suggest an

industry in dire trouble and unable to compete, but that is not an accurate picture.

It also ignores the fact that dairy producers in other provinces do just fine without the limits on vegetable oil products in place in Quebec.

No consumer safety issue is at play to justify the restrictions. The law is designed specifically to discriminate against one industry while propping up another.

It, like any protectionist law, does what governments have no business doing. It picks winners and losers and institutionalizes some while forcing others to pick up what they can by working on the margins of the economy.

Quebec is the only jurisdiction in the country that still restricts dairy labelling in such a way. Until last month’s change, it was also the only province that banned edible oil products outright.

Of course, how long Quebec clings to its old protectionist ways has little to do with fairness and everything to do with politics.

Giving in to outside pressure on dairy, which is a motherhood issue in Quebec, would not likely sit well with Quebec voters. Better for the provincial government to be seen to be forced into change.

Doing away with these restrictions would almost certainly lead to new markets for western grown canola, soybeans and other crops, but that is not the nub of the issue.

Canada is more than a collection of fiefdoms and more than a national economy. We exist within a continental trading bloc under NAFTA and have long been ardent free-trade supporters on the international stage.

Those principles must hold domestically as well if we wish to be taken seriously in our wider ambitions.

Election uncertainty creates flux across political landscape CAPITAL LETTERS

T

he new year is upon us and with it comes guarantees of many political challenges and antics.

Parliamentarians are set to return to Ottawa Jan. 26.

The prime minister continues to insist the country is not headed toward a spring election, a commitment most recently reiterated in a year-end interview with CBC journalist Peter Mansbridge.

Still, Stephen Harper’s insistence appears to have done little to quash the early election rumours, fast tracked by heightened pundit and political speculation the government may be planning to table a budget

upon its return. Sources have said such actions would almost guarantee a spring election.

However, the fate of the federal election also has an impact at the political level.

Saskatchewan is set to have a provincial election in October 2015, and it’s worth noting that the provincial legislature has already passed a decision to defer the election until 2016 if Ottawa waits until the fall to send Canadians to the polls.

No such decision has been passed in Alberta, where the political landscape continues to be refashioned.

The recent defection of nine Wildrose members, including former party leader Danielle Smith, has drawn sharp public criticism. The province’s speaker has said the remaining five Wildrose members will continue to serve as the official opposition, but the move has once again rendered the provincial legislature without an effective opposition.

A cabinet shuffle is expected any day, meaning all eyes are on premier

Saskatchewan and Alberta were both facing the prospect of holding provincial elections this fall at the same time as the scheduled federal election. What happens if Ottawa decides to send us to the polls early?

Jim Prentice to see whether any of the Wildrose members w ill be granted a spot in the new premier’s inner circle. Sources close to the Progressive Conservatives have said Smith had been promised a seat as the province’s deputy premier if she could successfully merge the Wildrose executive and all of the party’s current MLAs with the PCs. Having failed to deliver, it is unclear whether she will still sit at the cabinet table.

Easing public anger over his decision to accept the nine Wildrose members is not the only challenge Prentice faces as a new year begins.

Falling oil prices have already triggered warnings of sharp production declines by major oil and gas companies in the province, many of whom

have already said major layoffs are inevitable.

The current political and economic landscape has many Albertans looking for any indication the province is heading toward an early provincial election, which likely depends on actions in Ottawa. No premier wants to be in the midst of a provincial election while a federal election is underway.

Falling oil prices are guaranteed to be a political hurdle in 2015.

Both the provincial and national economies depend on revenues generated from the natural resource sector, and budgets will need to be amended to respond to the recent oil slump. It’s a challenge neither the prime minister nor the countr y’s premiers were likely

expecting, especially in an election year.

The economic punch of falling oil prices is undeniable. The latest estimates show that the Alberta and Canadian economies both take a $1 billion hit every time oil drops $5 a barrel.

However, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is one minister who isn’t as concerned by falling oil prices. In a year-end interview with iPolitics, Ritz said lower oil prices are generally good news for the agriculture sector. Farmers will likely see lower fertilizer and machinery costs because of the slump at the pumps, he added.

Others in the industry have also quietly suggested that the expected layoffs in the oil industry could ease some of the labour pressures being f elt in th e a gr icu ltu ra l secto r, although most warn that it won’t be enough to solve the ongoing labour crunch.

Manufacturing quietly powering Sask.

BY DEREK LOTHIAN

T

here are three primary ways to generate new wealth in an economy: grow it, extract it or manufacture it.

For decades, Saskatchewan has been synonymous with the first two: an agricultural frontier, rich with both fertile ground and an abundance of natural resources from potash to diamonds to uranium.

However, softened commodity prices and a return to a more normal farm season meant that 2014 may go down as the year when manufacturing finally pushed its way to prominence and onto the provincial map as a core driver of economic prosperity, job creation and investment.

That’s not to say 2014 was without challenge. Softened commodity prices also brought diminished demand for many industrial goods, particularly fabricated metal and machinery.

Pair that with ongoing uncertainty in Eastern Europe and continued protectionist rhetoric in the United States, and it would be easy to spot reason for apprehension.

However, as famed American author Norman Vincent Peale once said: “In every difficult situation, there is potential value.” And to realize that value, one must simply turn to the numbers for inspiration.

When the final Statistics Canada data for the year is released in February, Saskatchewan manufacturing sales are expected to total $16.5 billion.

It will be the third consecutive record year for output in the prov-

In fact, assuming the trends hold true in November and December, sales will have soared by more than 130 percent since 2000, compared to 10 percent nationally, while productivity will have increased by more than 125 percent.

Saskatchewan manufacturers will also sustain more jobs than the forestry, mining, and oil and gas sectors combined.

We quietly innovate, which is what manufacturers in Saskatchewan have always done. We build ambulances and pressure vessels, we help

land spacecraft on speeding comets, we feed the world with the latest advancements in technology and we provide the customized solutions to attract some of the largest capital projects in the nation.

The industry is easily overlooked because of how entrenched it is into the fabric of the province. Frontier, Annaheim, St. Brieux, Englefeld, Langbank: take a tour through any one of these communities and you’ll quickly see the real impact of manufacturing: thriving schools, bustling grocery stores and banks and new recreational facilities.

Go for a drive in north Saskatoon or

northeast Regina and marvel at the investments being made in our own backyard: every dollar in manufacturing sales generates up to $3.50 in total economic activity.

Yes, we are, and will be for quite some time yet, a province built around farming and resource development. But Saskatchewan is also a province of manufacturers — some of the best in the world.

Hopes are high as CTA rail review continues HURSH ON AG

undreds of pages of submissions are flowing to the panel reviewing the Canada Transportation Act. The CTA review is a precious opportunity to improve rail transportation for all commodities. Grain is arguably the most engaged of any sector.

The chair of the review panel is David Emerson, a former federal cabinet minister with wide-ranging business experience. He will report back to the transport minister with the panel’s recommendations by Dec. 24.

The go-to person on the panel for the grain industry is Murad Al-Katib, the head of AGT Food and Ingredients. Al-Katib is one of the largest

pulse crop exporters in the world and has first-hand experience with and knowledge of grain logistics.

Most farm organizations and grain shippers are sending similar messages to the panel. In many cases, groups are working together to craft joint submissions.

The overwhelming view is that the two main railways don’t operate in a commercially competitive environment and proper regulations are needed to ensure railway performance.

Grain is captive to rail because in most cases trucking isn’t a viable option. As well, the two railways don’t seriously compete with each other. Most grain delivery points are served by only one railway.

The railways want to move commodities in a least-cost manner to maximize shareholder returns.

Surge capacity costs money. Finding way to keep trains running in cold weather is also expensive. They want to employ the fewest resources possible to sweat their equity.

The railways know the grain will still be there when they get to it.

Missed sales, demurrage charges

and shattered business relationships aren’t their concern, unless of course it leads to new regulatory requirements.

Balanced accountability is one of the solutions. Shippers are penalized if they don’t load rail cars within an allotted time, but no such accountability exists for the railways.

Loading 100 rail cars within 24 hours is commonplace for high-throughput terminals, which works out to more than four cars per hour. Miss that loading window and you lose your freight incentive. Cold weather, labour shortages and equipment failure are not valid excuses.

Shippers often don’t receive all the cars they’ve ordered, even in times of relatively good grain movement.

There are no ramifications for the railway if allocated cars arrive several days late or if they’re still sitting on the siding several days after being loaded.

Similarly, there are no monetary penalties if the train is delayed somewhere on the way to its destination.

Railway lobbying is in high gear as they try to ward off potential rule

changes such as reciprocal penalties.

In fact, the railways will probably argue that the grain revenue entitlement (revenue cap) should be ended so they can earn more money from grain movement.

The cap is actually a volume and distance related formula with builtin cost increases. Grain moving to the United States and Mexico is not under the cap, but service is no better. As well, commodities other than grain complain about the same lack of railway service.

The review panel has been in place since the end of June. and its work will continue throughout 2015. There will have been a general election by the time its final report is submitted, and goodness knows what the new government will look like or what the burning issues will be.

The review is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of tangible results, but it’s the best hope for improved grain transportation.

ome of the most intense discussions on The Western Producer’s website in recent months have centred on neonicotinoids and genetically modified food. But did these stories make the Top 10 of our online views? Our statistics cover only the second half of the year, but here they are: 10. Alberta farm to star in Rick Mercer Report. The story detailed some of the comedian’s 10 hours of filming on the Round Hill, Alta., farm of the Banack family.

9. Lack of capital to blame: Broadacre. Gerry Pike, one of Broadacre Agriculture’s founders, explained in November how the company didn’t have enough money to expand quickly enough to survive.

8. Roundup Ready in alfalfa exports ‘catastrophic.’ The story explained that China has zero tolerance for modified alfalfa.

7. Costco asks producers: where’s the beef? The retail giant explained that it was forced to buy foreign meat because there wasn’t enough AAA grade produced in Canada.

6. Farmers lash out against Ducks Unlimited drainage ads. The organization’s radio advertisements suggested that farm drainage contributed to flooding in Melville, Sask., prompting farmers to take to social media to rain down anger on the assertion.

5. Seeder’s reach stretches 160 feet.

This story on Multi Farming Systems’ big new machine was placed online in June, but it remained a hot read well into the year.

4. Broadacre Agriculture enters creditor protection. The original story on the demise of the company that controlled 65,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland informed readers of the company’s $46 million in debts.

3 and 2. Tragedy on the farm. A story about the death of two boys, Sean Arnal, 16, and his brother Lyndon, 10 who died in a farm accident near Ravenscrag, and a follow-up story on a bursary for young farmers to be established in their name, and in the name of their brother, Blake, who died in 2008 at the age of 14 in an allterrain vehicle accident. The strength and dignity of the family and their determination to carry on while honouring their children caught the imagination of our readers.

1. Exploding combine shocks Sask. farmers. The story and dramatic image of a combine in flames on the Zimmer family’s farm near Major, Sask., was by far the top-read item on our website in the last half of 2014. brian.macleod@producer.com

In early 2014 in an Alberta Express publication, an author of a commentary reported the federal minister of agriculture had warned agricultural organizations that if they did not support Conservative agricultural policies, financial support would be eliminated and, better yet, their organization would be de-commissioned. If this misconduct did actually occur as the author reported, then farmer support for the omnibus bill C-18 is in question, or any other policies, for that matter.

I am appalled by the total lack of respect for agriculture, the agricultural community and the intellectual abilities of Canadian agricultural producers, by Gerry Ritz and the bureaucrats at the ministry of agriculture.

In reference to former colleague Bill Toews’ letter in the Dec. 4 issue, it was good that we got a refresher on the history of Marquis wheat, yet Toews was well overboard with his other comments.

It was a board decision to go ahead with the laker (grain ships) purchase, fully knowing that changes to the CWB Act and its monopoly over western Canadian wheat and barley were in the works. I voted against the purchase, as we did not have the government’s support and were going to have to finance these purchases out of farmers’ pool account funds. We didn’t ask farmers for their permission to use their monies, yet we fully knew at that time from our own legal counsel and expensive external council that all assets — pre-Aug. 1/12 and post — would be assets of the crown. Simply put — did farmer money go towards the purchase of the lakers? Yes. Can farmers claim compensation if sold? No. Bill Toews and Stewart Wells were at the board table when we all fully acknowledged these facts, yet now they can’t remember? Western grain producers have moved on, some are drifting in seas of greater obscurity.

In all seriousness, a name for the second laker should be WB Freedom, respecting freedom that western Canadian farmers have in marketing all their grains, and to recognize the farmers who were jailed for trying to sell their own crops.

To the Editor: Why does Alberta have a fusarium seed testing program? Well, way back in 1994 my attention was brought to a field of wheat in Three Hills, Alta., one of our drier areas, which had a 10 percent fusarium head blight infection.

Âť CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE shock waves in the province and plans were discussed as to how to prevent this destructive disease from decimating Alberta cereal crops. We had in the past succeeded with canola blackleg, rat and Dutch elm disease programs and as of late we are free of rats, Dutch elm disease and we now have blackleg resistant canola. Could we do the same for FHB? It took many years working with seed growers to get the FHB plan into place before its final implementation of seed testing all pedigreed small grain seed for the presence of FHB. The program worked exceptionally well up to the present time in all wheats, barley, rye, oats and triticale.

Alberta is by far the major supplier of malt barley, and FHB free wheats.

Much of the FHB free Alberta wheats have been blended with FHB diseased wheats from Manitoba and

Saskatchewan over the years to bring the toxin levels down from five or more to two p.p.m. so that the grain can be shipped for food.

In the last 14 or so years that I have surveyed Alberta cereal crops, it has been very rare to find any FHB from the Trans-Canada (Highway) north to the Peace region. The province is essentially FHB free for the most part.

This freedom from FHB has meant hundreds of millions in revenue to provincial farmers annually, perhaps amounting to billions at the present time. To have had individuals in southern Alberta call the FHB program a failure is a massive stretch.

Perhaps they have been reading stories by Baron von Munchausen, the famous German tale teller.

To be fair, in southern Alberta there is a problem with FHB, but this is due to a number of factors despite being in the Palliser triangle, the driest area of the Canadian Prairies. Dry areas

rarely have problems with FHB. In the south, durum wheat is king but much of it is grown for high yield under irrigation. Does dry land durum ever get much FHB? Durum wheats are virtually all very susceptible to FHB, though there is some promise at present of resistance. Southern Alberta is the home of feedlots where much of the prairie FHB damaged cereal grains and corn are fed to cattle in the very extensive cattle lots. Much of this manure is spread on irrigated cropland with likely significant levels of the fusarium graminearum fungus. Grain corn is also grown in the irrigated south, producing corn stover which is well known as a major infectious source of the FHB fungus. Rotations from grain tend to be very tight with durum or perhaps soft white wheat being grown every second year.

While the rest of the province remains practically free of this FHB problem the southern irrigation areas

may need a vigorous FHB control program with perhaps some adjustments

by Alberta Agriculture to bring this destructive disease under control in keeping with the rest of the province.

Dr. Ieuan R. Evans, Spruce Grove, Alta.

WHO TO THANK? In a recent letter to the editor (WP Dec. 4), I read where our agriculture minister is congratulating his government for the thriving state of agriculture in Western Canada. We should instead be thanking Mother Nature for timely rains and good harvest weather for a bountiful crop. We should be blaming our government for the fact that most of us could not get our crops efficiently to market in time to benefit from the good prices.

Instead, there were no trains waiting

for the products needed for our customers. Elevators were not organized with the right grain to fill the cars.

This orderly market had all been done by the farmer elected Canadian Wheat Board. Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and company didn’t seem to know what chores needed to be done. As a result, ships had to wait in the ports for weeks charging $15,000 to $25,000 per day in demurrage, all of which should have been in farmers’ pockets.

I would challenge some investigative journalist to total the demurrage charges that accrued. Was it billions? I would also challenge the Western Producer to print Ritz’s speech in Parliament in Hansard Nov. 2, 2011. It would reveal our agriculture minister ’s lack of knowledge on the mechanics of orderly marketing.

AGRICULTURAL VOCATION

Food is for people SPIRITUAL VIGNETTES

ahatma Gandhi reputedly said, “The world has enough for everybody’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.�

It is with a similar sentiment that a headline in the Prairie Messenger (Nov. 26, 2014) reads, “Pope says food is for people, not for profit.�

While questioning market priorities and the primacy of profit, the re p o r t e r n o t e s t h a t t h e p ro f i t approach reduces foodstuff to a commodity that is subject to speculation and manipulation.

A week earlier, the same paper reported that cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana reminded an agricultural conference in Minnesota that “the pressure to feed a growing number of people on the planet intensifies, and the use of genetically modified organisms has been proposed as a means of staving off hunger.� Then he went on to ask: do the agricultural giants “accept the food sovereignty of every nation and region?� “Best� does not mean “most,� he said. “If we are throwing away 40 percent of what we produce, is it optimal to produce 20 percent more?�

He called for agrarian reform, which is the need to rethink the whole scene from energy reform to sustainable food reform to climate reform.

A papal encyclical is currently being prepared on the environment, ecology and creation, according to these Prairie Messenger reports.

We may “denounce slavery to profits at all costs,� but we have to constantly remind ourselves “purchasing is always a moral and not just an economic act,. the cardinal said. “Agriculture cannot be just a job if we keep it part of God’s plan and history.�

Most assuredly, agriculture calls us to higher standards. It is a vocation.

CONSERVATION

Farmers grapple with proving sustainability Commodity groups have joined forces to develop a crops sustainability certification pilot project in Alberta

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — Sustainability can sometimes be a hazy concept, yet farmers are often forced to comply even if they don’t always know what it is or how much it might cost.

Jason Lenz is one of those farmers.

He believes his central Alberta farm is sustainable when it comes to continuous improvement, socially responsible behaviour and profitability.

For him, it is about being a good

neighbour and taking care of the land, air and water on his farm at Bentley.

“If modern day farms in Western Canada are not striving for continuous improvement, if they are not incorporating beneficial management practices and if we are not making an effort to protect the environment, they almost certainly are not going to be profitable,” he said.

Agricultural sustainability was discussed at the Alberta Barley Commission’s annual meeting held

recently in Banff. The organization has joined forces with the wheat, canola and pulse commissions to craft the Alberta crops sustainability certification pilot project.

“Our board of directors feels that this needs to be a priority and one that we should meet head on, so we can have some input in the shaping and moulding of any sustainability program that comes our way,” he said at the meeting.

Lenz grows all of these crops, so he wants a single standard that is practical and not a burden.

“In the next four years, we are all going to have to show what we are doing on farms is sustainable. This is not something that is going to go away,” he said.

Farmers growing any of these crops can join the project to assess their level of sustainability.

Control Union, a third party auditor and inspection service from the Netherlands, has been contracted to work with volunteer farmers. The Canadian office is in Vancouver and will provide two auditors this spring to visit participating farms and pro-

To thrive, a farm also needs the right financial conditions.

TD is committed to helping farmers build for the future.

The Franke twins first came to us in 2001 with an ambitious plan to grow their grandparents’ farm.

Though they were barely over 20, their TD Agriculture Specialist quickly recognized their potential and backed their plan. Over the years, Jolene has been there for every major financial decision affecting the farm, helping it grow to thousands of acres and over 250 head of cattle. A personalized approach to agriculture finance, like Jolene’s, is something all TD Agriculture Specialists bring. Maybe it’s time you brought one to your farm.

v i d e a re p o r t o n t h e i r l e v e l o f sustainability, said Erin Gowriluk of the barley commission.

The commissions that are involved in this project are already part of the Canadian Round Table for Sustainable Crops, where provincial and national groups can talk about environmental policy. The project is a part of that ongoing discussion.

“We are going to test the waters with this project, and we are going to see if other regions might be interested in trying something similar,” Gowriluk said.

Farmers will be assessed to see how well they comply in areas such as carbon emissions, sustainable agriculture and social responsibility.

They will undergo their assessments in March. The participating groups are looking for more producers to join the project.

Each will complete a pre-assessment of on-farm practices, which takes about an hour. The final assessment takes about half a day.

Specific questions are asked about the farm, but the results are confidential.

Each farmer will receive a report, and the four farm commissions will receive an aggregated report to show the highlights and the gaps.

Each farm will also undergo an assessment using Unilever’s sustainable agriculture code. Unilever developed it for continuous improvement, and it has been tested by agronomists, farmers, consultants and sustainability advisers.

Anheuser-Busch, Kellogg’s and General Mills are among the multinational companies that have supported the Unilever initiative.

“Unilever will not do business with new suppliers who do not meet the mandatory requirements for their responsible sourcing policy,” Gowriluk said.

“Existing suppliers will be required to meet these requirements, phasing them in between 2015 and 2017.”

The code includes waste handling, farm chemicals, fuel, energy management, soil care and water use, support of biodiversity dealing with social and human capital, supporting animal welfare and contributions to the local economy.

Canada already has the Environmental Farm Plan program, which co u ld be u sed rath er tha n th e Unilever code.

Gowriluk said the commissions want to talk with government to see if the requirements align with international programs.

Companies such as Unilever have said they can accept alternate programs as long as the farm ultimately attains the expected results.

Most farmers feel confident they are doing things in a sustainable way but realize most of the public does not know that.

“How do we tell our story as farmers to consumers?” she said.

“We don’t really know what consumers are ultimately looking for and how does this translate to what is done on my farm.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

Hog producers urged to help manure spreaders fight PED Custom applicators know they must protect farms, but it’s not always easy WINNIPEG BUREAU

Manure applicators want to ensure they don’t spread porcine epidemic diarrhea from farm to farm, but farmers need to help them minimize their risks.

It’s especially important because applicators are working within a short window of time that is made more difficult by extra biosecurity steps, says John Carney, executive director of the Manitoba Livestock Manure Management Initiative.

“They’re caught in the middle.”

He told the Prairie Livestock Expo in Winnipeg in early December that applicators and farmers need to reduce their risks as much as possible when applying manure because PED spreads by fecal matter and can move in manure from barn to field.

That includes: • Having a known “line of separation” around hog facilities.

• Having known and easy communication lines between applicator and farmer.

• Limiting joint use of roads by manure trucks and vehicles that service the farm and pigs.

• Bringing as little equipment as necessary onto the farm.

• Cleaning and disinfecting as much as possible.

Carney said he has surveyed dozens of manure applicators and discovered that most have added equipment and are taking extra steps to ensure they don’t transmit PED. However, farmers could do much to help them cut the risks further.

They need to make sure applicators know how to immediately contact them if something happens. Make sure the applicator knows the farmer’s or manager’s mobile phone numbers as well as office numbers.

Ensure the applicator knows where the line of separation around the farm’s production facilities lies.

Sometimes the farmer himself hasn’t worked that out. However, it is essential to have a line across which manure trucks are not allowed to cross as a way to keep PED away from a farmer’s home and production barns.

Carney said the most important thing farmers can do is establish specific manure lagoon access roads that other farm vehicles and vehicles visiting the farm will not use. “(Applicators) really want to be able to drive from the road to your lagoon without having to go on your main driveway,” he said.

“If you can find a way to make the necessary investments so that they can drive from the road to your lagoon and not go on that line of separation at anywhere near your house or your farm, I think that makes sense.”

A simple row of pylons and safety tape can make the line of separation obvious to the applicator.

Carney said cleaning equipment is important for the applicator, but that often means he has to bring water and a way to heat it to the field so that he doesn’t have to drive to the hog barn to fill up with water. It adds time and complexity to the job.

Farmers can help by supplying some of the equipment themselves, such as pumps, couplings and hosing to be connected to the lagoon. That way, the applicator doesn’t have to bring that equipment close to the barn.

Manitoba has been lucky with only a handful of PED infections, even though the disease is raging in the U.S. It is likely a result of “good fortune coupled with good management.”

However, Carney said steps to control the possible transmission of PED from manure spreading are an important way to keep that luck going.

Applicators have to do their work quickly, between harvest and freezeup, so anything that makes their life easier and less complicated is likely to boost a farm’s biosecurity, he said. ed.white@producer.com

by Agriculture Canada suggests that food with a low glycemic index offers more sustainable weight loss

Selecting the right cereal variety has never been easier

as well as improved management of diabetes.

Benoit Bizimungu, Agriculture Canada’s lead potato researcher, said breeding this potato, and indeed any potato variety, is a long-term process.

This variety, AR 2012-04, has been through an extensive selection process and has been grown in research plots across the country to test its adaptability to various growing conditions.

“It needs to have a package of good traits, and I think that’s why we took so long to identify a promising one,” said Bizimungu.

“We know that there is actually a growing industry for consumers to have food that is more nutritious and healthier … so I think it is part of meeting consumer trends.”

Parkland Seed Potatoes of Edmonton has been granted exclusive rights to evaluate the potato further and potentially commercialize it.

Kirby Sawatzky of Parkland said his company is conducting its own tests and is building a stock of basic seed.

However, full-scale production is still at least two years away.

Sawatzky said the Agriculture Canada variety is easy to grow in Canada, but marketing it is a separate step that requires additional time.

AR 2012-04 has a glycemic index of 34 when served cold and a medium index of 65 when served hot. Agriculture Canada data indicates it has

good boil and bake properties and good chip scores.

The potato is white with creamcoloured flesh and a small to medium tuber size. It has short dormancy and early maturity.

Terence Hochstein, executive director of Potato Growers of Alberta, said development of a low-glycemic potato is good news.

“Any time that you can provide another health benefit of eating potatoes, it’s a good thing for the industry,” he said.

“It will be very beneficial for the people that have diabetes or are very carb conscious. We’re just really excited to have another potato with a good health benefit attached to it.”

The low-glycemic potato will probably be grown primarily grown in Manitoba or British Columbia.

Most Alberta growers contract their production to companies that make chips and french fries because the price is fixed. Prices for potatoes marketed as fresh fluctuate with supply and demand.

Bizimungu said selection of this variety and others has been made m o re ef f icient in re cent y ea r s through the use of near-infrared spectrometry.

“We can basically fast track and scan and determine right away the potential of new varieties,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

COUNTRY-OF-ORIGIN LABELLING

Survey reveals few U.S. shoppers aware of COOL law Canadian livestock producers continue to suffer while awaiting the U.S. appeal of a WTO ruling against COOL

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The ongoing fight against countryof-origin labelling law in the United States has cost Canadian pork and beef producers billions of dollars.

Yet a recent consumer survey on food demand from Oklahoma State University found limited knowledge about the law.

It found that fewer than a quarter of those surveyed knew that meat animals’ country of origin was required by law on labels in stores. Thirty-nine percent believed it was not required and another 39 percent didn’t know.

“This whole mess is there to satisfy 22 percent of the population,” Calgary rancher Larry Delvar said at the Alberta Beef Producers annual meeting held in Calgary Dec. 1-3.

“They know what the labelling is, but people buy on price.”

The United States filed notice at the end of November that it was appealing the most recent World Trade Organization ruling on COOL. A WTO panel ruled in October that COOL violates trade rules because it treats Canadian and Mexican livestock less favourably than U.S. livestock. A decision on the appeal may not come until summer.

“How can we keep winning at the WTO and the thing doesn’t get any better?” said John Masswohl, who handles trade issues for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

He compared it to the Stanley Cup hockey championship, in which a team must win four games to earn the trophy.

“We’ve won three. We’ve got to win four,” said Masswohl.

“The end result is inevitable. We are going to win the dispute and we are

going to win this appeal.… This appeal is based on interpretation of law on the set of facts that existed with respect to the 2013 rule change.”

WTO recently ruled that the change the U.S. made in 2013 was not what was required and that the new regulation made it worse.

Canada published a list of targets 18 months ago that includes a range of food products, beverages and consumer goods manufactured in the states of politicians who favour COOL. The retaliation could include 100 percent tariffs that would double the price of an import.

“In essence, for products that are on that list and have the tariffs imposed, they won’t be imported. The tariff will make it prohibitively high,” Masswohl said.

“Until they start to feel the pain and start to hear it from people who vote for them, that is what it is going to take to get that change.”

The decision to appeal came two months sooner than many expected.

“Those retaliatory tariffs are at least two months closer than they thought,” said Masswohl.

The CC A and other livestock groups are aligned with the COOL Reform Coalition, which comprises 109 national trade associations and businesses. The coalition wrote to members of Congress Nov. 21 urging a contingency plan to protect U.S. jobs and exports.

TACKLING PREDATION

Alta. gov’t hikes elk hunting quota at CFB Suffield base

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

More elk hunting tags will be issued on Canadian Forces Base Suffield near Medicine Hat in February.

It is an apparent provincial government response to concerns about a growing elk herd now estimated at 6,600 to 8,000 animals.

Tags for 500 elk will be available through a draw, and hunting will take place on the base Feb. 2-5 and Feb. 9-12.

Alberta Environment announced the additional hunting quota with the federal national defence department. The February tags are in addition to the 660 antlerless elk tags

issued earlier this year for animals on the base and another 300 issued for areas immediately adjacent. Of the latter, 200 were for cows and 100 for bull elk.

The February allocation will involve 125 licences issued for each of the two four-day sessions. Each successful hunter can kill two antlerless e l k , a c c o rd i n g t o i n f o r mat i o n released by Alberta Environment.

The burgeoning herd has caused complaints from ranchers whose fences, crops and stored feed are damaged when the elk leave the base.

Jeff Lewandoski, who ranches next to CFB Suffield, said the additional licences indicate the government sees the need to control herd size, but

he doubts that can be achieved through hunting.

“It’s still not enough numbers to control the amount of births that are going to happen in spring,” he said.

Hunters are having success with tags already issued, but Lewandoski wonders if the full complement of elk will be killed if there is heavy snow and cold in February.

He said 25 percent of the people who have tags for the current draw haven’t come to hunt.

CFB Suffield has restrictions on access for safety and security reasons. Hunters must take an orientation course and be escorted on and off the 2,700 sq. kilometre base.

Lewandoski said base officials have

been more co-operative recently to accommodate hunters.

“They’ve opened it up to a bigger area where they can hunt on the base, and I guess range control is giving those hunters quite a bit of help and hints about where the elk herds are.”

Lewandoski, who has taken on the task of seeking solutions to the elk problem, was unable to obtain a tag earlier this year.

“I’m not much of a hunter but I thought, you know, I’m going to become one.”

He applied for a tag to hunt bull elk because they cause the problems on his property. He wasn’t successful, nor could he obtain an antlerless elk tag for the area outside the base.

Lewandoski and other landowners in the region continue to think an organized cull, with elk captured and then systematically slaughtered for meat, is the best long-term solution.

As for hunting this year and in 2015, “I expect probably about 1,100 animals (will be) taken. That’s still only half of what we need to harvest in order to keep up with the birth rate.”

Duncan MacDonnell, spokesperson for Alberta Environment, said if all 1,460 draws for elk are used, it could reduce the herd by about 20 percent.

The lottery for the February draws runs Jan. 5-14. barb.glen@producer.com

Beyond Cancun: exploring Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

A

lthough we’ve travelled to Cancun frequently over the years, we’ve spent little time in the mega-resort developments around the city and nearby Riviera Maya. Rather, we use Cancun as a jumping-off point to explore the Yucatan Peninsula.

Only a few hours away, another world awaits: ancient Mayan ruins, historic colonial cities, nature reserves, traditional villages and offthe-beaten-track beach communities. Fortunately, this is also considered one of the safest parts of Mexico for travel.

Often it’s possible to find attractive airfares, since charter companies and scheduled airlines from many Western Canadian cities compete for business. Cancun airport is fairly user-friendly for independent travellers, with scheduled direct bus service into Cancun city, Playa del Carmen down the coast and the colonial city of Merida.

Head to the main bus station in Cancun and even more options open up, with extensive bus ser vice

LEFT: The sun sets over Rio Lagartos.

RIGHT: Gulf winds bring wind surfers to Holbox Island, Mexico throughout the peninsula and beyond.

We like to explore somewhere new each time we go. On our trip last January, we headed to Holbox island, just off the north coast where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean.

It was easy to reach on a three-hour b u s r i d e f ro m Ca n c u n , t h e n a 20-minute ferry ride. Wide beaches and shallow water line the north coast, while mangroves rich in bird life extend along the south shore.

The island is definitely a tourist destination, but the atmosphere remains pretty low-key, with no high-rise buildings or monstrous

resorts. The steady gulf breeze attracts kite-boarders and windsurfers to the uncrowded beaches. All the roads, even the main streets in the small town, are made of sand.

Traffic noise isn’t a problem since most motorized vehicles, including taxis, are golf carts, and there’s few cars.

After easing into the laid-back lifestyle for a few days, we could understand why longtime visitors hope the island doesn’t get too popular or developed.

The highlight of our last visit, however, was Rio Lagartos, a little farther west along the north coast. The

sleepy fishing town lies next to the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reser ve, a sprawling mangrove-lined river estuary with phenomenal bird life.

The biggest draw is flamingos.

Yucatan has an estimated 40,000 of the dazzling pink birds, and this is one of their favourite hangouts. Local tour operators offer boat trips through the estuary, plus several fishermen run trips as a sideline.

We headed out early one morning just after sunrise and immediately started seeing some of the reserve’s nearly 400 species: anhingas, black hawks, egrets and stilts.

White pelicans wintering here may

well be from Western Canada. Great blue herons were so common that we soon stopped snapping pictures.

A nice find was rare bare-throated tiger herons, large birds with long thick necks adorned with tiger-like stripes.

Farther upstream, splashes of bright coral pink stood out from the turquoise water and brilliant white shoreline. Flamingos were all around, some in small groups feeding on brine shrimp in the shallow brackish water. Although it wasn’t the prime season, we still saw plenty of birds.

Generally, they disperse in midwinter and then congregate here in April in huge numbers as they launch into elaborate mating displays.

Fortunately, we watched some doing a practice run. The group gathered tightly together and then marched in unison, their upstretched heads quickly jerking from one side to the other in a kind of flamingo tango. Then suddenly the whole group stopped, turned around and strutted in the other direction.

We enjoyed the boat trip so much that we stayed another day to do it all again. For us, the flexibility to stay longer when we find somewhere we like is the biggest advantage of wandering around independently.

ON THE FARM

Journey from South Africa leads to alpacas, hats The Connellans started raising sheep but eventually switched to alpacas, which nudged them into the world of hat making

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

COWLEY, Alta. — Anne and Tony Connellan took a long and winding road to their farm in southwestern Alberta, and an equally unique path to their current on-farm operation.

Originally from South Africa where they raised 3,000 sheep on 5,000 acres, they moved to Canada in 1976 and raised sheep, then Highland cattle, then chinchillas and finally alpacas.

Then they became milliners.

Their hats made from alpaca fibre are sold at various southern Alberta craft markets and have proven popular for their style and warmth.

“We have found that the hats have been the biggest sellers,” said Anne, noting they used to also make and sell toques, scarves and other items made from alpaca.

Now they’ve narrowed their focus to chapeaus.

“We have always done sort of the retro style, but there were the odd ones that you couldn’t sell. One year, we couldn’t sell any fedoras or cowboy hats. The next year, we sold them all.

“We honestly don’t know from one year to the next” what will be popular, said Anne.

The couple and their four boys moved to Canada during apartheid, when the South African government was buying land for Africans, including property adjacent to theirs.

“I would have had to walk around with a gun on my shoulder, not because of the people themselves, but because the people moving in there had no way to survive, so thieving would have happened,” said Tony.

Anne said the high crime rates at the time made it unsafe for her to walk or drive alone, and their sons would have faced mandatory army service when they came of age.

They knew some Canadians so they came to investigate, originally thinking Saskatchewan might be their new home.

But when they drove through Alberta and saw their very first Canadian sheep flock near Pincher Creek, Alta., they decided to stay.

“This seemed more like home with the mountains and things,” said Tony.

“Where we came from, we had a big range of mountains 10 miles away — about this distance away,” he said, indicating the Rockies visible through the living room window.

At first Anne managed the farm while Tony worked various off-farm jobs. Sheep gave way to a herd of Highland cattle but the workload

took a toll on their physical health, so the cattle were sold.

“We miss them. I loved my Highlands, I really did, but then we decided we’d try the alpacas instead.”

That was the beginning of Smiling Valley Alpacas.

The animals are docile and easy to handle.

“Smart too,” said Tony. “You show them how to do something once, and they know what to do.”

They’ve had as many as 33 alpacas but now maintain a flock of 17. The animals are sheared in June and the fibre is carded, felted and made into hats. Some retain the natural colours of the alpacas themselves, while the brightly coloured ones are the product of natural dyes.

Dying the fibre is a popular task with their many grandchildren, who visit in summer and enjoy the process.

“It’s amazing what they come up with,” said Anne. “They seem to have the modern ideas. I’m an old lady.

You need those new ideas.”

As for styles, Anne said their first priority is to make hats that will withstand the region’s infamous highspeed western winds.

“We needed something that you could wear in Pincher Creek. That’s why we started with the 1920s and ’30s styles, because they were low down. They were wind resistant. You didn’t want anything with a big brim.”

Now in their 70s, the Connellans said they have no plans to retire, although they may curtail the number of trade shows at which they sell their wares. They also plan to explore internet sales options.

Though Tony often sports an alpaca toque, Anne has other tastes.

“I don’t like hats. I love to make hats but I never wear them.”

LOOKING BACK

Prairie schools evolved alongside communities Before buses, students were forced to take long trips to one-room buildings

BY ELSIE RIDEOUT FREELANCE WRITER

When the August Klix family arrived in Canada in July, 1914, there was no school available for them. By 1917, the Bloomsbury school opened and Margaret Klix, my mother, and her sibling Augusta began attending.

There were few roads in the area at the time so the girls followed the Klondike Trail north seven kilometers to school. It bisected the southwest corner of the Klix farm.

Jack Sissons, a university law student, was the first teacher.

Since Canada was still at war with Germany, it was a difficult time for the German children among the predominantly English speaking families. Sissons, a fair-minded man, wouldn’t permit the German students to be ostracized or mistreated.

My mother never forgot Sissons and spoke fondly of him as her hero throughout her adult life.

He returned to Bloomsbury the n e x t s u m m e r w h e n t h e t w i n s,

Helmut and Walter, joined the girls on the Klondike Trail.

In the middle of school one day, the twins decided it was time to go home.

Sissons went after them and soon the three came back, hand in hand. What passed between them was only known to the three of them.

Sissons passed the bar in 1920, practised law in Grande Prairie and was appointed as the first judge to the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories in 1955. He treated First Nations, who called him “The Great

White Father,” with the same compassion and caring as he had the German children at Bloomsbury.

The one-room country schools with their outdoor privies and wood burning stoves are part of prairie history.

T h e y o f f e re d s t u d e nt s w at e r scooped from a bucket with one drinking dipper and a common wash basin.

One teacher taught every subject from Grades 1 to 8 and the school annually staged a Christmas concert and end of June school picnic.

In the early 1900s, there weren’t enough children to justify providing schools in the Barrhead area of Alberta. But as more families arrived, communities built schools to accommodate the newcomers.

In the beginning, anyone with Grade 11 or 12 could teach. By 1920, the University of Alberta in Edmonton opened a Normal School for teachers, requiring aspirants to complete one year of Normal School to qualify for a one-year teaching certificate and two years for a permanent certificate.

In 1924, the school boundaries

Margaret Klix Kupsch’s three oldest sons also went to Glenreagh. In 1936, Margaret, her husband, William, and seven children moved to the homestead that William had filed on in 1928. The school-aged Kupsch children attended Mellowdale school four kilometres away.

In 1937, school boundaries were revised, Shoal Creek School opened and the Kupsch children transferred there, a distance of about one and a half kilometres.

Helmut inherited the Klix farm and his two oldest children, Caroline and Harold, went to Glenreagh School.

COD LIVER OIL

Kids aren’t Old-fashioned remedy carries perks and risks for everyone HEALTH CLINIC SPEAKING OF LIFE

CLARE ROWSON, MD JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

I must say that I am somewhat disappointed in my daughter.

She and her husband are choosing not to have children. Both of them have great jobs, they live in a beautiful house and they appear to have no financial problems. If anyone could afford a family, they could. But the two of them agree that they enjoy being with each other and they believe that a family would take away from their times together. I think that they are just being selfish and, of course, I want to be a grandma again. What do you think?

Your daughter and her husband are not alone. According to the 2011 census figures in Canada, 44.5 percent of couples are without children. Only 39.2 percent of couples have families.

The figures include those couples whose children have grown and left home so they are misleading, but there are many young couples choosing not to have families of their own.

Research articles from the United Kingdom suggest that young couples without children have more satisfying relationships than do couples with children.

The demands on parents raising children in a child-orientated society are high. Many parents do not have the time to enjoy intimacy with each other and a marriage struggles without intimacy.

But a life without children may not have the long-term benefits that your daughter is expecting. Those same studies in England found that women with children, regardless of their marital status, were more satisfied with life than women without children.

The implication is clear. As much as your daughter and her husband enjoy their times together, not having children puts them at risk for missing that opportunity to feel that their lives have greater purposes.

That is clearly something for your daughter to consider before she makes her final decision.

If the couple changes their mind and starts a family, they might take a look at those studies from England and make a concerted effort to spend time alone, without the kids, to recommit their intimacy to each other.

Date night, where moms and dads go out alone and together, are important.

Q:

Are there any benefits to taking cod liver oil, and does it matter if you take it in pill or oil form? Can it be taken like vitamins or should it be taken short-term, and is any monitoring of symptoms required?

Cod liver oil does have certain health benefits, but they need to be carefully measured against the

A:

risk of side-effects.

Its use had been touted for the treatment of everything from high blood pressure and heart disease to arthritis or depression. Not all of these claims have been scientifically proven.

There is some evidence that cod liver oil helps to lower high triglycerides, the bad kind of fat, because it contains the good omega 3 fatty acids. There is no evidence that the oil will lower the other types of cholesterol.

It may also be helpful in decreasing high blood pressure a little, but should not be used to replace prescribed antihypertensive medications.

Omega 3 can also help prevent blood clots and reduce the pain and swelling of some inflammatory con-

ditions such as lupus.

Cod liver oil has also been used to help prevent and improve the type of kidney disease suffered by some diabetics. Other claims such as treatment of glaucoma or middle ear infections and depression are still under investigation.

In the past, parents fed a teaspoonful of the oil, sometimes mixed with malt to make it more palatable, to their children daily during the winter months. It was given to prevent vitamin D and A deficiency.

Cod liver oil these days can be taken as a pill or as oil in a capsule. The body will absorb it equally well either way.

The oil does have some potentially dangerous side-effects, so should be

used with caution. Too much vitamin A and D have a cumulative effect because they are stored in the body fat and could lead to liver damage over time.

Too much omega-3 may also be risky.

Some people may already be eating a diet rich in these fatty acids, thinking it is healthy. By inhibiting blood clotting, it can put the person at risk of a cerebral hemorrhage, a bad type of stroke, and also internal bleeding.

I would not recommend taking cod liver oil daily like a vitamin. You will need to discuss this with your doctor because your health and medications must be taken into consideration.

FORAGE RESEARCH

Study examines best crop mixes for prairie soil Experts look at the performance of various cover crops to determine the best mix for weed suppression and plant biomass production

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — The growing interest in cover crops has prompted researchers at the Semiarid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre to look for the best mixes for southwestern Saskatchewan’s drier environment.

Jillian Bainard said cocktail forage mixtures, as cover crops are also known, are believed to improve soil and forage quality.

A three-year study that began in 2013 is looking at what makes mixtures more effective and how many

species the mix should contain.

The experiment is using 12 species in four groups: barley, forage oats and triticale in the cool season grasses category; corn, millet and sorghum for warm season grasses; field pea, forage pea and hairy vetch for legumes; and kale, forage radish and turnip for brassicas or root crops.

The crops were grown in monocultures and in cocktails of two, four, eight and 12 species together. Each treatment was repeated four times in the research plots and seeded in early June. They received no fertilizer or pesticide except for a small spray in 2013 because neighbouring re-

searchers were concerned about blister beetles.

The biomass from the plots was collected in late July and removed in August. The same treatments were repeated in 2014 on the same ground.

“We’re doing that to accentuate some of the impacts we might be seeing in the soil in particular,” Bainard said.

The same seeding rate was used for all species. As well, a traditional meadow brome-alfalfa traditional mix was seeded for comparison.

Bainard said the 2013 results found that kale and sorghum performed poorly, both when grown alone and in

mixes. Sorghum struggled to compete against weeds, while kale emerged poorly and didn’t establish well.

She said that might be because all crops were seeded at the same depth.

The kale would have preferred to be shallower.

The cool season grasses produced the most biomass in the four and eight species mixes.

“Corn did a lot better than millet or sorghum,” Bainard said. “Similarly, radish had quite a high biomass production, whereas turnip or kale had smaller.”

She said the mixtures generally outperformed the monocultures.

Midge tolerant wheat protects your crop against devastating pest damage, but it’s up to you to protect the technology. The Stewardship Agreement limits the use of farm-saved seed to one generation past Certified seed. It’s a simple step that keeps the interspersed refuge system at the proper level, preventing build-up of resistant midge.Without the refuge, we risk losing the one and only tolerant gene.There is no plan B. Protect this important tool. Plan for high yields and quality grades for years to come. Contact your retailer or visit www.midgetolerantwheat.ca.

“You might have guessed there would be some competition or reduction in biomass, but we didn’t actually see that,” she said.

“When we look at that biomass production over all the different treatments, it goes up with the number of species that are included.”

Bainard said she wasn’t expecting the 12-species mix to perform as well as it did.

Her analysis of fibre and crude protein didn’t find strong patterns after the first year. All mixtures did well in weed suppression, with the 12 species doing the best job.

The traditional perennial mix didn’t perform well in 2013, although Bainard noted it was the establishment year.

The repetition of the experiment in 2014 had to deal with many more weeds and nutrient-depleted soil.

“The biomass patterns were similar,” Bainard said.

“The perennial crop did very well this year.”

The legumes benefited the health of the system, as could be expected, and the treatments with more groups and species did better.

All the data hasn’t yet been analyzed, but she said even the 12-species mix struggled with more weeds this past year.

Some species contributed more to the composition of the plots. For example, peas and legumes did well while the warm season grasses were poorly represented.

For 2015, the soil will be tilled before seeding to see if the weed population can be cut back and nutrients in the soil released.

She said the evidence indicates that mixtures are useful and that species selection will be the important factor.

Economic analysis is not part of this particular project, she added, but the data will be available if collaborating researchers want to pursue the numbers. karen.briere@producer.com

HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Fresh Roots Farm balances economics, land, people Combining a sustainably sound yet profitable approach on their Manitoba farm was ‘a game changer in our thinking’

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Troy and Michelle Stozek of Fresh Roots Farm seem to have found a way to create a better balance in their lives.

They hit it off six years ago while searching for sustainability through the Harvest Moon Society and were married last fall.

Equipped with their university degrees and an ample amount of humility, the Stozeks spent some time working on South American farms before starting their own farm on Michelle’s family’s operation near Cartwright, Man. “We took the opportunity to move back to her family’s land, move into her grandma’s old house and start up our own ranch,” said Troy.

“It was an opportunity that was thrown onto the table, an open invitation from her family. The rest is history.”

Troy grew up in Dauphin, Man., with his grandfather, raising bees for honey.

“I just remember the aromas coming out of his garage come honey harvest,” said Troy, who has also worked in Canada through the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms program.

“I just enjoying the idea of being out of the city and getting my hands dirty.… It’s intriguing to me.”

One of the first decisions the Stozeks had to make when moving to the farm was what to grow.

“We were interested in all things, just to try,” said Troy. “We weren’t sure what we wanted to focus on at first. We focused on things we could afford to experiment with.”

They opted for vegetable gardening, which was a low capital investment and fairly simple and straightforward to do.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s father was keen to get them started with a small herd of cattle because he was looking to downsize.

“There is a lot of existing infrastructure, here, on the land, to accommodate for that,” said Troy.

The Stozeks mostly rent their pasture and hayland but are in the process of buying some of the family owned land on which they live.

They raise 45 cows and a couple dozen ewes, sheep and lambs, and Troy looks after 45 beehives. As well, Michelle runs a two-acre vegetable garden, from which she does direct marketing in summer.

“The veggie garden is often the elephant in the room in regards to the future of it,” said Troy.

“It’s by far the most labour intensive, though it does help with cash flow and is still very valuable.”

They started the bee business after Troy attended a workshop and came home with a couple of hives in the back of his truck. He was curious about whether he would enjoy working with them and wanted to see how they might fit into their system.

“It was a very good fit,” he said. “I took a liking to them immediately.”

The Stozeks’ motivation for starting to farm was not just because it was a way to make a living. They wanted to explore new and practical ways to farm more ecologically and in a way

that is profitable and good for their business. They began by enrolling in a holistic management course.

“This was a pretty huge milestone for us and a game changer in our thinking in many ways,” said Troy.

“It’s a way of looking at your farm business, your land and your household in a holistic way. You need to prioritize not only the economics, but the land and people as part of the equation.”

When the Stozeks first moved to Cartwright, Troy said “there was head turning about what we were

going to do, but over the years we’ve developed really strong relationships with people in our community.

“We’re not looking to convert anybody. We respect the decisions of others who farm in different ways.

We’re all just trying to make this thing work based on what works for each of us. We always try to keep an open mind. We don’t downplay what other people are doing, and we hope they have an open mind about us.”

Some of the Stozeks’ beef cattle are conventional cow-calf, marketweaned calves that go to the feedlots

through auction markets and others are grass-fed.

“We’re experimenting with different cattle genetics (smaller frame scores) to achieve fattened, finished, marketable beef, which we direct market to consumers,” he said.

They do the same with their lambs.

The Stozeks feel that conventional production and direct marketing are important because they both represent timely cash flow.

“Ultimately, the grass-fed system is more risky, financially and otherwise, so we’re trying to find a way to

transition at an appropriate pace into that system, developing genetics, feed programs, markets, etc.”

Troy and Michelle still hold parttime jobs off the farm, he as a crop adjuster with the Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp. and she with the local Community Development Corp. in Cartwright, teaching people how to save money.

The Stozeks also work at the family’s supply store, which Michelle’s parents built. It supplies feed, supplements and other crop production inputs.

WILDLIFE

Alberta wolves culled to save caribou herd Conservationists decry move by Alberta government, saying the real problem is industrial expansion in the area

BY LANA MICHELIN FREELANCE WRITER

An ongoing wolf cull in Alberta that has killed more than 900 wolves in attempts to stabilize a small caribou herd is said to be damaging the area’s ecology and giving the province an international black eye.

“It’s absolutely chilling,” said Bob Scammell, a Red Deer author, journalist and conservationist.

“It’s an absolute horror story,” added Dwight Rodtka, a retired problem wildlife specialist for Alberta Agriculture, who lives in Rocky Mountain House.

The wolf cull, which has been carried out for nine years, is designed to save a small population of woodland caribou near Little Smoky, just south of Valleyview, Alta., in an area heavily disturbed by industry.

Studies by biologists show that after killing 841 wolves between 2005 and 2012, the population of the threatened caribou herd has stabilized.

The cull continues with the estimated number of dead wolves now at more than 900.

Rodtka said despite all the effort put into the cull, which includes killing 200 moose and elk for poisoned bait, few additional caribou calves are being born compared to nine years ago.

While killing wolves has stopped caribou decline, the herd is not significantly growing, he said.

And he said, wolves will probably just adapt by producing larger litters as natural compensation.

Prompted by a mandate from Ottawa to keep the emblematic Canadian animal from disappearing, the Alberta government embarked on the annual cull of 45 percent of wolves in the area northwest of Edmonton. Besides being shot from helicopters, wolves are being killed with poisoned carcasses left in the forest.

Duncan MacDonnell, a public affairs officer for Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, said the province is doing its best to comply with a federal mandate to protect a threatened species.

“After years of population decline, the program has managed to maintain caribou survival,” he said.

“We want to keep caribou in the landscape.”

He said he hasn’t heard about collateral poisoning of non-target species.

He added that comparisons to past wolf culls in Yellowstone in the United States and Banff, Alta., are not good indicators for this project because they were meant to help elk, which have significantly different

But Scammell and Rodtka believe the government is needlessly targeting wolves because it’s unwilling to curb forestry and energy developments that are destroying caribou habit.

The provincial government’s bias toward industry at the expense of the

environment is a major factor behind the strong opposition to Alberta pipeline projects in B.C. and the U.S., according to Scammell, whose opinion pieces run in various Alberta newspapers.

“People will say, ‘we don’t want that sort of stuff happening here,’ and the Alberta government just doesn’t get it.”

MacDonnell said the province is aware of the impacts of industry and a more wide-ranging plan is due in 2017.

The first part, which is expected to deal with the Little Smoky herd, is expected by next year.

“It will deal with the whole picture and look at all factors in caribou survival,” said MacDonnell.

Meanwhile, he stressed the government is not removing all wolves, but needs to decrease caribou mortality until a more comprehensive approach can be adopted.

Jim Robertson, executive director of the Waskasoo Environmental Education Society in Red Deer, doubts the wolf cull will do any long-term good.

“It’s a people problem, not a wolf problem,” he said, noting such culls have historically caused problems in Banff and around Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, tipping the natural balance.

He said better habitat protection would yield better future benefits.

The Little Smoky herd is made up of about 70 caribou, a protected species that cannot be hunted in the province.

The animals exist on land near the Little Smoky River that contains forestry cut blocks, seismic lines and other energy developments.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Farm World at the forefront of agricultural technology

by Darlene Polachic Farm World has a reputation for being at the forefront of ever-changing, cutting-edge agricultural technology.

The equipment dealership, with locations in Humboldt, Kinistino and Prince Albert, recently secured the distributorship for Precision Drones for Western Canada.

“Drones have been used by the military for some time,” says Blair Fleischhaker, Farm World’s corporate parts manager, “but only recently have come into use in agriculture.”

The Precision Drone is a helicopter-style drone that can be flown by an operator via remote control or guided by satellite GPS. It is equipped with two cameras that shoot video footage or digital images every two to five seconds as the drone flies over a field.

One camera is a regular camera that shoots what are often referred to as naked eye images; the other is an infra red camera that measures the amount of light being emitted by a plant.

The cameras typically take 160 to 250 photographs of any given field. The aerial images are exported to a laptop with special software that stitches the images together into two maps, one of them infra-red, the other a naked-eye image.

“The NDVI or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index combines the two maps and puts them into software that calculates the light emitted and records it by colour,” Blair explains.

“Red indicates little or no plant life. Maybe it’s a road or a bare spot on the field. Or it might mean plants in that spot are dead or severely stressed. Yellow shows plants that are living but somewhat stressed, possibly from a lack of nutrients or fertilizer, by disease, or insect infestation. Green signifies lush, healthy plants. The more light detected, the more chlorophyll is being produced, the more photosynthesis is taking place, and the healthier the crop is.”

than treating the entire field. He can also take the data and create a prescription map for chemical application.

All of this means better care of the environment and a financial savings for the farmer.”

The drone operator is able to program in the coordinates within which he wants the drone to fly, as well as the number of passes he wants it to make on the field.

Elevation and flight speed can also be regulated.

“When we’re scouting fields, we generally run the drone at a height of 300 to 400 feet so it is above any possible obstacles,” Blair says.

“To this point, farmers have been scouting their fields on foot or by 4-wheeler to get this type of information, but they can’t reach every corner, and as a result, they’re not always reaching the areas that need attention. Drones are widely expected to replace traditional time-consuming and incomplete methods of field analysis. They provide producers with real-time data that can be used to help plan things like fertilizer applications, chemical spraying strategies and monitoring for harvest readiness.”

Farm World has done a number of drone demonstrations for customers. One was for a customer who was skeptical of spraying fungicide to control disease.

“As a test, he left a couple of strips where he didn’t spray,” Blair says. “We flew the field before he sprayed and then again two weeks later. The second fly-over showed an ugly brown strip on the regular image where he hadn’t sprayed, and on the infra red image, the strip was very dark red because not much light being emitted. The assessment showed that plants were stressing from disease and he was taking a six bushel per acre loss on the unsprayed area. It wasn’t something he could have seen from the edge of the field.”

Another drone fly-over produced a NDVI map indicating the poor spots on a field. The farmer took the yield map from his combine and overlaid it with the NDVI map and found them to be almost identical.

Everything on the maps is geo-referenced so the farmer can get an exact co-ordinate for any part of the map, input it to Google Earth, and investigate the spot in his field showing a problem.

“The maps indicated the yellow areas needed fertilizer for a better yield.”

From that, Blair says, the problem can be managed.

“Maybe the farmer will want to do a variable rate fertilizer application or an area-specific top-dressing rather

“It is important to note that Farm World is partnering with the manufacturer of Precision Drone, a farmer-led company in the U.S.,” Blair says. “One of the owners

is a full-time farmer who understands farmers’ needs.

He was looking for something to scout his own fields and manage his crops, and when he could find nothing specific enough to suit his needs, he designed his own drone and put it on the market. The Precision Drone has been available in the U.S. for a couple of years, but it is a brand new concept in Western Canada.”

A Precision Drone comes as a complete package which includes the helicopter-styled drone, a laptop computer with three sets of software, a remote controller for flying the device manually, a live feed monitor so the operator can see what the camera is seeing in real time, six rechargeable batteries and two battery chargers. All of this is neatly stored in a durable case.

“We like that the Precision Drone comes as a complete package,” Blair says. “There are others out there, but some don’t provide software, others don’t include the laptop. We like that everything is included and ready to go. As well, Farm World provides the training necessary to operate it and is there with support from beginning to end. We do the same with all our equipment. It’s one way we bring value to our customers.”

Blair Fleischhaker says, “Right now, we are working with number of agronomists and crop consultants who are purchasing drones to provide yet another service to their farm clients. We believe that once farmers see the benefits of drones, they’ll want to have their own.”

Fleischhaker says Farm World is seeing a significant amount of interest in drones in Saskatchewan, as well as Alberta and Manitoba, including from cattle ranchers who see huge potential benefits from flying drones over their pastures to monitor cattle herds. They can program the drone on a specific flight route and take photographs or video to determine how effectively pastures being grazed, do stock counts, look for stragglers, and even monitor cows during calving season.

Fleischhaker believes drone technology takes farming from reactive to proactive. “With the drone,” he says, “the opportunity is there to make management decisions that increase yield in problem areas before it’s too late. That results in benefits and savings to farmers.”

Book a drone demonstration through the www. farmworld.ca/drones website, or talk to a Farm World representative in person at the Crop Production Show in Saskatoon, Booth D26 in Hall D, January 12 to 15. A Precision Drone will be on display.

SHEEP SHEARING

Bags roll into Alberta wool collection site Fibre comes in from depots across the province, as well as B.C. and Saskatchewan, for grading and shipping to Ontario

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The wool comes in from all points on the compass, leaving flocks of sheared sheep in its wake.

On this day, a truckload of wool from north-central Alberta is unloading while another semi-trailer sits on the street outside, waiting its turn in the dock.

It is a busy time for Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers branch manager Brian Shaw, whose Lethbridge facility is a primary destination for much of the wool gathered in British Columbia, Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan.

Shearing has been under way on sheep farms across his collection area and the wool is coming in, packed into large burlap bags weighing several hundred pounds each.

“There is a use for every fleece produced in Canada,” Shaw said as he examined some of the wool near the unloading dock. It all depends on what purpose the user has in mind.

The co-op was once strategically located on a rail spur near the Lethbridge main line. From there, wool would arrive in boxcars for grading and further distribution.

Today, the location is the same but it is not quite so strategic. The rail spur is long gone and the building is a few blocks from what is now this prairie city’s downtown shopping area.

It’s one reason why the co-op has a satellite location on the city’s outskirts and will meet people outside the city if necessary. Wool also comes here from 21 depots in the three prairie provinces.

Once accepted and recorded, the wool is compressed and shipped to the co-op’s head office in Carleton Place, Ont., where it is graded. Nearly three million pounds of wool a year flow through the CCWG network.

Grading also used to be done in Lethbridge, but Shaw said selecting wool into 20 different grades is a specialized skill that few now possess.

“Grading in itself is a lost art,” said Shaw as he adjusted the old tags once used for that purpose.

“Three to five grades per farm is not uncommon, but we probably get all grades in Alberta. For the most part, the wool that we get in here is quite good.”

The wool is bought at greased weight and sold on the yield weight, which is the weight after cleaning.

Material that is graded as range wool is the finest of the fine and is used in high-end textiles, said Shaw. Canadian range wool is equivalent to Australian merino, although the latter has several quality gradations.

Range wool comes mostly from purebred sheep, primarily Rambouillet, Columbia and Targhee breeds, said Shaw.

“When some of that wool comes in, it is so clean that it’s almost white.”

The Lethbridge site is also a collection point for musk ox hair, partly because it has a machine capable of compressing the material for more economical shipment.

The co-op also maintains an extensive inventory of livestock supplies, sheepskins, wool and wool products, clothing, lanolin and lanolin-based products. barb.glen@producer.com

Are wetlands Mother Nature’s outhouse, or do they deserve more respect?

N

ature plays a major role in one Saskatchewan village’s waste water management

system.

Vonda treats its waste water with two cells plus a man-made wetland, all of which are heavily populated with bulrushes and cattails, says mayor Dan Sembalerus.

Sembalerus, who was born and raised in this small community northeast of Saskatoon, said he recalls the debate surrounding expansion of the sewage treatment system in 1983.

“I remember when they were deciding what to do. There was a lot of argument at the time about the cost and whether we need to expand the treatment system,” he said.

You could literally drink that water from the third wetland with no harm to yourself. I wouldn’t want to, but I could if I wanted.

DAN SEMBALERUS VONDA MAYOR

“But it ’s been functioning as planned since 1983 without a glitch.

It’s turned out to be quite a boon to the town.”

Vonda had built a small, single cell facility in the 1960s, but 20 years later it couldn’t handle the volume as the population increased. Engineers said a second cell would not only increase the overall liquid capacity but would help make the effluent cleaner. As well, a third larger overflow wetland would ensure that the local environment was protected and that the water would be pristine.

After some debate at the local level, the village entered into a cost-sharing agreement with Ducks Unlimited in 1983 for the construction of shallow retention basin. This man-made wetland was created by building a dike on sloping land near the primary treatment facilities and would serve as an overflow for the second cell if needed.

The original design allows for the occasional release of water in periods of high runoff, but Sembalerus said this has never been necessary because the wetland has proven to have enough capacity.

“The Ducks wetland project functions as a third cell for us,” he said.

“The two main cells are located fairly close to town. This Ducks wetland receives water from our second

treatment cell through an underground pipe. There had been some concern in past years about the quality of water in that third wetland, so we’ve had it tested many times.

“You could literally drink that water from the third wetland with no harm to yourself. I wouldn’t want to, but I could if I wanted.”

He said the heavy population of cattails and bulrushes in all three cells absorbs phosphates and nitrates in the waste water.

Sembalerus said the past few years have been wet, and the village has had to drain off the first two cells more often than its management plan allows.

“But when the effluent leaves the second cell and flows into the Ducks’ wetland, it’s pretty well 95 percent good to go anyway.”

“There’s been no harm to wildlife, and this wetland has given us a third filter before any water is ever released into the environment. But even in the wettest years, we’ve had no concern about the third cell wetland overflowing. It wasn’t even close. The wetland has a huge capacity.”

He said the plan calls for overflow to run by gravity into Buffer Lake, a lowlying salt lake into which the entire area drains naturally, if the wetland ever does reach capacity.

The system has been trouble-free,

requiring no changes or modifications, he added.

“It really has been a sewage treatment system we don’t have to think about. Most people in town don’t know where it is. In fact, most people in town don’t even know anymore that it exists.”

Ducks Unlimited provided costsharing deals for Saskatchewan communities such as Vonda, Prud’Home and Humboldt and others, building wetlands that create duck nesting habitat in conjunction with wastewater treatment systems.

Sembalerus said Lakshman Lakshman, a scientist at the Saskatchewan Research Council in the 1970s, did much of the research into the use of bulrushes and cattails.

His studies proved that aquatic plants have the capacity to extract nitrates and phosphorous from water.

That same conclusion has been reached hundreds of times around the globe in recent decades and put into practice in thousands of sewage treatment projects.

Researchers at the leading edge of waste water treatment technology say the North American livestock industry is lagging far behind the rest of the world in putting this natural treatment method to work. ron.lyseng@producer.com

INCREASE VIGILANCE

$150,000 ANNUALLY FOR PROJECTS

Poultry producers hike biosecurity

Alta. rancher donates $4.4 million endowment

Prairie poultry officials urge producers to take care after bird flu discovery in B.C.

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Poultry producers are re-examining their biosecurity measures to prevent avian influenza from spreading across the country.

Producers in Alberta have been warned to increase their biosecurity measures, said Alberta Chicken Producers executive director Karen Kirkwood.

Alberta’s emergency management team, which represents the province’s chicken, turkey, hatching egg and table egg sectors, implemented emergency procedures when the first case of avian influenza was discovered in British Columbia at the beginning of December.

“Poultry producers were warned to increase their vigilance, especially with visitors to the farm,” said Kirkwood.

“Our biosecurity practices are already very high.… We’ve done everything we can to ensure producers have that extra vigilance.”

The 240 barns represented by Alberta Chicken Producers are

spread across the province, unlike in B.C., where poultry barns are clustered in the Fraser Valley.

Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan chief executive officer Clinton Monchuk said the province’s already tight security measures would be double checked.

“It’s not going to be any different.

We follow it to a T anyway,” said Monchuk.

He said producers are encouraged to postpone audits that require visitors entering the barns when a disease outbreak hits one area.

“The less people that get onto the farm, the better.”

As of Dec. 19, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency had confirmed that 11 commercial premises in Chilliwack, Langley and Abbotsford and one non-commercial flock in Aldergrove had tested positive for avian influenza, which forced the destruction of 245,085 chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese.

A single non-commercial flock of 85 ducks, chickens, geese and turkeys, was identified Dec. 19.

CFIA officials warned more prem-

ises may test positive for the disease because of its highly contagious nature.

On Dec. 19, about 100 birds in a backyard flock near Winston, Oregon, were found to be infected.

The CFIA has established a primary control zone around most of southern B.C. in an effort to contain the virus.

Nine countries have implemented a range of partial and full export bans on poultry and poultry products from Canada.

The CFIA confirmed that the virus detected in B.C. poultry is H5N2, a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza.

The virus contains gene segments from a highly pathogenic Eurasian H5N8 virus, including the H5 gene and segments from the typical North American virus, including the N2 gene.

It is the first time a Eurasian-lineage, highly pathogenic H5 virus has caused an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry in North America. The virus has the ability to cause high mortality rates in domestic poultry.

Testing in wild birds has not detected this strain in Canada, although CFIA officials believe the outbreak may be linked to wild birds.

U.S. Department of Agriculture officials confirmed that the H2N5 and the H5N8 avian flu strains have been found in northern pintail ducks and captive gyrfalcons in Washington state, just south of B.C. The pintail samples were confirmed after wildlife officials noticed increased waterfowl deaths at Wiser Lake in Washington.

The gyrfalcon samples were collected after a falconer reported signs of illness in his birds. The gyrfalcons were fed hunter-killed wild birds.

Neither virus has been found in commercial poultry flocks in the United States.

German authorities reported an outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N8 on a turkey farm in November. It was the first time the virus was detected in Europe. mary.macarthur@producer.com

BUDGET SQUEEZE

Alberta cuts ag research in wake of low oil prices

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Alberta government has quietly cancelled a plan to provide $200 million in agricultural research funding.

Bill 11, the Savings Management Repeal Act, received royal assent Dec. 17.

The bill eliminates the Agriculture and Food Innovation Endowment Account, which was established last March by former premier Alison Redford’s government and would have allocated $9 million per year to agricultural research over three years.

The same bill eliminated the $200 million Alberta Future Fund and the $500 million Social Innovation Endowment Account.

Alberta agriculture minister Verlyn Olson said the move is a reflection of

One thing it does do, though, it does kind of reinforce the notion that we have to diversify because we do need to get away from such heavy reliance on our oil and gas industry.

VERLYN OLSON ALBERTA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

belt-tightening in light of low oil prices.

“Obviously we would have preferred to just carry on with the original plan, but we have to live in the real world and I’m certainly not the only minister who will be facing these kinds of challenges,” Olson said.

“One thing it does do, though, it does kind of reinforce the notion that we have to diversify because we do need to get away from such heavy reliance on our oil and gas industry.”

Olson said $2.5 million has already been allocated and won’t be clawed back.

Researchers were reluctant to comment on the changes, citing fears that future funding might be jeopardized.

“Oil prices drop, ag takes the punishment, but everyone is probably getting belts tightened,” said one.

The agriculture endowment was supposed to expand grant programs for local applied research associations and assist in value-added product development and commercialization. It was also intended to expand a plant health laboratory to help develop new resistant plant varieties.

Olson said agriculture would be a suitable field for economic diversification.

“While we have had to kind of take our foot off the pedal a little bit, I think it has made us even more determined that we’re going to work very hard on diversification,” he said about provincial spending.

“This is in no way a judgment of the value of the things that we wanted to do. We really do need to support research, both the industry needs to support it and governments need to as well.”

Research priorities developed in consultation with the industry remain in government hands, and Olson said the department would still like to implement them when able. barb.glen@producer.com

The rural life fund supports community groups and services

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Bill Long was a man so humble that he didn’t even want his name on a donation — a $4.4 million donation.

The rancher from Pincher Creek, Alta., who died in December 2013, instead organized an endowment in the name of his uncle and long-time ranching partner, Henry Stewart Varley, who died in 1990.

The Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta will administer the endowment, which will generate $150,000 a year in grant funds in perpetuity.

“It’s a forever gift,” foundation chair Dianne King said during a Dec. 19 announcement of the donation. “(Long) found a forever way to ensure that rural life will thrive in southern Alberta.”

Long was born in Fort Macleod, Alta., in 1934 and orphaned one year later when his parents were killed in a car accident. He survived three days in the wreck before he and his parents were found.

It was a tragic beginning, but Long found a home with his grandparents, Tom and Connie Varley, and then with his uncle Henry.

The two men, neither of whom married, raised Hereford cattle on their ranch in the Fishburn district of the Municipality of Pincher Creek.

Long’s cousin, Maxiene Bodgener, described him as “a very, very shy man, but very intelligent. Anything that he was going to do, it was checked out.”

Bodgener said Long’s donation to help rural people, communities and activities is entirely suitable.

“I think it is just what Bill would have wanted and it’s going to the agriculture section to help younger ones out and I know he’d be very proud.

“The only thing is, he would not like to hear us talking about him. He’d think we should be talking about Henry Varley.”

Long sold his ranch in 2000 and moved to town but maintained his interest in agriculture and in giving people “a hand up, not a hand out,” said King.

The donation will serve to create a rural life fund within the community foundation. King said the board has yet to determine where and how the endowment will be spent.

The foundation comprises 12 municipalities in southern Alberta. It invests donations and provides grants to community groups and causes.

Changes to firearm rules expected to cut paperwork

Players of Farming Simulator 15 from Giants Software can start with the basics and then expand the farm

Proposed legislation will eliminate the possession-only licence

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Proposed changes to firearm regulations in Canada will reduce paperwork, not safety, says an official with the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation.

Introduced to Parliament late this fall, the Conservative government’s Bill C-42 would eliminate the possessiononly licence (POL) for firearm owners.

The POL was available to firearm owners before 2001 and prohibits owners from acquiring more firearms.

POLs are now available only as a renewal of an existing licence. Everyone else has a possession and acquisition licence (PAL), which is acquired by completing the required courses.

“Most of them were older people in society that got these POLs,” said Greg Illerbrun of the SWF. “We’re running this separate system to run the POLs. In the meantime, the rest of us have PALs.” The proposed legislation would convert all existing POLs to PALs. “As far as public safety goes, nothing changes,” said Illerbrun.

“They still have to have a licence.

You’re just going to have one licence instead of making two.”

The SWF and other wildlife groups are supporting the changes, although Illerbrun had hoped for licences that would be valid for more than five years.

The five-year period remains, but the new legislation would grant licence holders a six month grace period after its expiration to renew.

The Conservatives, who previously dismantled the country’s controversial long-gun registry, are also looking to loosen restrictions on transporting firearms “by making them a condition of a licence for certain routine and lawful activities.”

The changes include restricted firearms, which has drawn criticism from opposition parties and gun control supporters.

Another organization, the National Firearms Association, has condemned the legislation for not offering even greater relief from “irritating bureaucratic processes.”

Under the new legislation, authorization to transport a firearm won’t require separate documentation. It also expands the places of travel to include gun shops, gun shows and port of exit leaving the country.

WHAT’S A RESTRICTED GUN?

FREELANCE WRITER

According to Canada’s criminal code, a restricted firearm is: • A handgun that is not a prohibited firearm.

• A firearm that is not prohibited, has a barrel less than 470 millimetres in length and is capable of discharging centre-fire ammunition in a semi-automatic manner.

• A firearm that is designed or adapted to be fired when reduced to a length of less than 660 mm by folding, telescoping or otherwise.

• A firearm of any other kind that is prescribed to be restricted.

Wildfongs combine business with family Saskatchewan farmers who operated Harvest Services release new concave for Deere STS

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

REGINA — A family with a storied history making replacement combine concaves and parts is back in the business after a 19 year hiatus.

Rick Wildfong’s family began building concaves and other combine parts in the early 1980s.

Last fall’s release of a new, high-wear concave for Deere STS machines brought another generation of Wildfongs into the enterprise: son Russ and daughter Danielle.

Grandfather Bert got the family into the business when he teamed up with Californian Ray Stueckle to design and build a line of precision bored, replacement concaves. The Wildfongs sold their company, Harvest Services, in 1995. It is still in business.

“We went to replace some (STS) Deere concaves and the price caused a bit of an ouch,” Russ said.

“The high wear ones were a lot more. And we said, ‘why not build them ourselves?’ ” The Wildfongs built their own

replacements last winter and added a few modifications to the basic Deere design.

The family found that only one aftermarket company was building high wear replacement units and decided to get back into the business.

Danielle said the family’s choice of steel made manufacturing a challenge.

“We went AR400, military grade metal. It means the cross bars won’t fold over if a rock gets in there or melt away in sandy land, but it meant we

had to find a way to cut it,” she said.

AR400 steel resists abrasion and toughens the metal through a combination of alloy choices and quenching and tempering.

Russ said they are sending the steel out for laser cutting to avoid milling and drilling at their farm shop near Craik, Sask.

“We assemble and weld the concaves and ensure they are true,” he said.

“This stuff would take a long while to cut ourselves.”

A former pressure system welder

handles many of the assembly welds of the toughened material.

“The fit and finish of our concaves is to a very high standard.

Our wire spacing is exactly equal,” Russ said.

“I can’t say that the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) stuff is as good.”

The Wildfongs’ units also allow more depth between the top of the bars and wires, which allows more room for grain-on grain threshing.

reparing a cost of production worksheet for the farm is one of the most rewarding New Year’s resolutions that producers can make.

Grain farmers, with whom I am most acquainted, will find this information invaluable when making decisions.

Templates are available that can prepare a cost of production worksheet for each crop and each field. An analysis of the entire enterprise can be prepared once these worksheets have been assembled.

Let’s not discuss the preparation of a worksheet. Instead, let’s talk about how a well-prepared cost of production analysis can be used to make a farm more profitable: • Preparing input purchas es: Farmers who have prepared the worksheets with a limited budget in mind will now have a template to follow when making purchases.

For example, it becomes a lot easier for farmers to make fertilizer purchasing decisions if they have budgeted $50 per acre for fertilizer and are able to pre-buy their

requirements for $45 per acre. As well, a well-prepared worksheet will be well received when requesting an operating loan or line of credit from a lending institution.

• Planning the season: Cost of production worksheets are also good roadmaps to follow as farmers move through the growing season.

They now have a budget that they can use to guide them when making in-season purchases. The worksheet should not be a static document. Farmers should enter the actual costs as they move through the season and compare them to their predicted costs. This allows them to see if they are ahead or behind in their predictions. The expected return on the commodity they are growing should also be updated as prices move. This will result in a clearer picture of their net return.

• Selling the product: Farmers have often said to me over the years: “But I need $10 per bushel for my canola.” However, they usually don’t really know what they need for their canola. It’s just that they think $10 sounds like a nice number. Let’s say farmers have prepared a cost of production worksheet that indicates their total production costs and cost of living requirements total $9.25 per bu.

The worksheet gives them the confidence to sell if they have an opportunity to lock in production at this level. Yes, they may not produce what they have predicted, but this number should be conservatively based on long-term production. As well, they have insurance options. The cost of production worksheet gives signals at prices that will provide a return for the farm rather than an “I need” price.

• Looking back: Farmers should also prepare a cost of production worksheet for last year’s production. If they are ahead of the curve and have already done so, then now is the time to finalize the numbers. Farmers can add in the production they have already sold and the prices they have sold for to calculate what they really need for the remaining grain on hand to cover their costs and make a profit.

CROP TRIALS

Growth regulator no silver bullet for lodging Trials show Engage Agro’s Manipulator reduced lodging and increased yields on some spring wheat varieties, but not all

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A new plant growth regulator is not going to solve all wheat-lodging problems in Western Canada, says an Alberta Agriculture agronomist.

Engage Agro’s Manipulator was registered in 2014 and can be used on wheat crops in Canada this year.

Like other plant growth regulators, it shortens and strengthens plant stems and makes crops less likely to fall over.

Manipulator’s active ingredient is chlormequat chloride, an estab-

lished growth regulator that inhibits the production of plant growth hormones.

Trials suggest Manipulator can boost Canada Western Red Spring wheat yields by five to 15 bushels per acre, but growth regulator performance depends on variety, climatic conditions and the timing of application.

“The perception is out there that these are going to solve every (lodging) problem,” Sheri Strydhorst told the Manitoba Agronomists Conference in Winnipeg in mid-December.

“Companies don’t want growers

having that perception, when they (companies) know … that it’s not necessarily going to perform like that.”

Strydhorst said growth regulators are popular in the United Kingdom, where 90 percent of winter wheat crops receive one or two treatments during the growing season.

However, plants grow faster in Western Canada than in the U.K., which makes it tricky to apply growth regulators at the right time.

“Staging is absolutely critical with plant growth regulators,” she said.

The ideal time to apply them is at growth stage 31, the beginning of

stem elongation.

“When we have nice warm growing conditions, you have a couple of days to get this staging right.”

Tom Tregunno, product manager for Engage Agro, said Manipulator’s formulation allows farmers to apply the product before and after growth stage 31.

“We would prefer to get it on at that five to six leaf stage, but with Manipulator, we’ve done some work throwing it on at herbicide timing and at a flag (leaf ). It still works and you just lose a little bit of efficacy,” he said.

“Manipulator’s wide application

widow is a unique feature. It’s the main reason why we are having such good results.”

Tregunno said data is limited, but trial results suggest Manipulator “at flag leaf is working very well.”

Besides Strydhorst’s concerns about application timing, she said growth regulators are also not consistent.

They reduce the height of certain wheat varieties but don’t work on other varieties.

Trial data from Engage Agro indicates that Manipulator is most effective on CWRS spring wheat. Four years of plot data on CWRS varieties in Western Canada show: • Ten percent height reduction, 83 percent of the time.

• Fifteen percent height reduction, 53 percent of the time.

• Five percent yield increase, 85 percent of the time.

• Ten percent yield increase, 55 percent of the time.

Tregunno said the size of the yield gain depends on the likelihood of lodging.

“When you see those 10 bu. increases on that chart, that’s usually because you’re seeing lodging in the untreated section,” he said.

“In the absence of lodging, you’re really only looking at a three to five bu. increase” Manipulator is less effective on Canada Prairie Spring wheat. Trials show it increases yields by five percent only 33 percent of the time.

“We want growers to be aware of this,” Tregunno said.

“If they choose to use Manipulator on a CPS variety, they know to expect a height reduction and lodging resistance, but they may not see a yield increase compared to untreated.”

Strydhorst said weather and soil conditions can affect the performance of growth regulators . The labels tell growers not to apply the products when the crop is suffering from excess water or under drought stress.

“What do we define as drought? What do we define as excessive moisture?”

Strydhorst said. “There are many unanswered questions about (growth regulators) and more work is needed.”

Trials from Alberta indicate that growth regulators may reduce yield when conditions are dry. Manipulator cut yields by about six bu. per acre compared to a check plot in test plots near Bon Accord and Falher.

Despite the need for more studies, many cereal growers are desperate for help with crop lodging, Strydhorst said. “It (Manipulator) won’t be used on widespread acres, but in areas under irrigation in southern Alberta … they’re pushing fertility, they have the moisture, they need to improve standability.”

Tregunno said prairie wheat growers are curious about Manipulator.

“The interest is a lot higher than we originally expected,” said Tregunno, who is encouraging farmers to experiment with the product this year.

“See how it works in your fields, with different varieties. We know some varieties perform better than others.”

Engage Agro hopes to register the product for barley and other cereals in time for the 2016 growing season. robert.arnason@producer.com

GRAIN INSECTS

Radio frequencies can clean pests from grain The heat generated by radio frequency waves targets moisture, which means it works best on insect pests in stored grain

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A University of Saskatchewan researcher is using radio frequency waves to clean grain.

“They (radio-frequency) are very similar to microwave heating but with greater penetration,” said OonDoo Baik, which is why he decided to use the technology for its volumetric heat generation.

The RF waves interact with moisture contained in the product being heated. More moisture means more interaction, which means more heat.

The heat is used to kill pests in stored grain. It is focused on insects because of their higher moisture content and ions. “(However,) we cannot avoid some heating of the grain, as it too contains moisture,” Baik said.

The moisture content off the grain in Baik’s experiment was 12 to 18 percent, while the moisture of the insects was 50 to 80 percent.

“If you look at the heating rate of the insect and the grain, the insect’s heating rate is much higher compared to grain,” he said.

“So if we can do proper design, then we can minimize the heating of the grain and maximize the heating of the insect.”

Baik’s preliminary tests have discovered that insects need to reach a temperature of 60 C for three minutes to achieve 100 percent kill of all the life stages: the egg, pupa, larva and adults.

The tests also found that heating grain to those temperatures didn’t significantly change its ability to germinate or the flour properties when milled.

“We found no significant quality degradation.”

Baik is using a 1.5 kilowatt RF heater to conduct his experiments. He has received financial support from the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry and the Western Grain Research Foundation to develop a prototype 10 times greater than that.

“We are actually developing a semiindustrial scale heater in our university lab,” said Baik.

“So, we are building it and are trying to develop applicators.”

The system works by heating grain on a conveyor system, with two electrodes providing the heating. The trick is to design a proper applicator that will give maximum efficiency.

The final stage will be to build a heater for use in grain elevators or large storage bins on big farms.

“It could be made like a conveyor system, so we can actually see the grain that might have the insects at different life stages,” he said.

“By passing through the applicator region, we can actually selectively kill the insects before entering into the storage bin or an outlet like a transport vehicle.”

The main heating unit can be separate from the application, but by no more than nine metres.

Baik said the technology will eliminate the need for using toxic materials and will be more economical.

It would cost $25 to run 8,750 bushels of grain through the heater, based on $11.70 per kilowatt hour, without the price of fuel for handling. Disinfecting the same amount of grain with chemicals would cost $250 to $2,500.

“Still, the initial cost of the machine was not included in the calculation,” said Baik.

“I expect the cost will start high and drop significantly, like a microwave.”

COMMUNITY PASTURES

Pasture transition proves bumpy Lone Tree Grazing officials say uncertainty over partners was the biggest challenge in taking over former community pasture

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — With one year of operating a former federal pasture under their belts, the shareholders of Lone Tree Grazing Ltd. are sharing their experience.

Lone Tree in southwestern Saskatchewan was among the first 10 pastures to be turned over to the province and then to patrons after the 2013 grazing season.

Ten more are transitioning this year: Brokenshell 1 and 2, Coalfields, Foam Lake, Gull Lake, Hearts Hill, Hillsburgh, Kelvington, The Gap, Royal and Usborne.

Steven Grant, secretary-treasurer of Lone Tree, said there were challenges, including dealing with two levels of government simultaneously, a lack of money for start-up and administrative overload, considering that the people involved were also operating their ow n ranches.

“The timelines for decisions were damn tight for us,” he told the Forag-

ing into the Future conference.

“It’s not going to be so bad for the next bunch.”

He said the biggest challenge was not knowing who the partners would be until the final moment.

Twenty-five potential partners were originally involved, but in the end there were only 15 shareholders.

“So you’ve got guys at the table saying yea or nay, you’ve already set your future and then they choose not to be involved,” Grant said.

“But there’s no other way to do it.”

Lone Tree includes 33,000 acres of grass, 22,000 of them native.

Most of the tame grass was seeded in the 1930s and 1940s, and Grant said it isn’t that productive.

The pasture is in an area that doesn’t always get much snow or runoff. It has two water pipelines, one from the Judith River and one from a shallow well at the pasture headquarters, so there is potential to expand.

“In our country we’re always dry, just some years we’re drier,” he said.

Drought, wildfire and the invasion of crested wheat grass into native

the

fields are perennial concerns.

Then there’s the 15 kilometres of Canada-U.S. border fence to maintain.

Grant said the shareholders don’t know exactly what would happen if cattle escaped to the United States.

“We’ve got to make sure we keep that fence up,” he said. “Most of our exterior fence, and a lot of our interior fence, is 70 years old.”

He also said the pasture location makes it hard to get contractors and service personnel on site.

“We’re not at the end of the world but you can damn sure see it from the porch,” Grant said.

He said the business plan didn’t work until the province assured the shareholders they could have a 15-year lease and would not have to buy the improvements.

“We were at $2.75 a day because we were going to have to buy 75-year-old improvements,” Grant said. “When we had the options, all of a sudden our business plan made sense.”

He said herd health should be more manageable. The 15 shareholders include 10 family groups whose cattle

should not have to commingle anymore, providing grass growth is good.

However, one of the biggest opportunities Grant sees is for new generations of ranchers to get into the business. In his own case, his family has been using the pasture since 1941 and both he and his son are now shareholders.

Grant bristles at claims that ranchers won’t be able to operate the pastures in an environmentally friendly way.

“We’ve got resources, we’ve got lands branch, we’ve got a scientific community out there and we’re all born and raised in this area,” he said.

“If we r un our ranch into the ground, we’re done.”

Schmidt said the first year seemed to go fairly smoothly after he familiarized himself with 210 km of fence line and the pipeline system.

There are still a few things to sort out. Lone Tree contains five quarters of non-reversionary land that has to go through the federal disposal process before it can be offered to the shareholders.

“That’s crucial to us because it’s our

bull field,” Grant said.

He advised future transition teams to get bylaws in place as soon as possible because they can be amended if necessary. They should also budget high during the planning process and shadow the federal pasture managers and riders during the last grazing season to see how everything is done.

“Put together a level-headed ambitious transition team. You’re going to need them,” he said.

PASTURE MANAGEMENT

Sask. rancher sings praises of intensive grazing By seeding all of their land to grass, the McElroy family was able to sell their farm equipment and make the cattle do the work

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Art McElroy is a fan of intensive grazing.

It took him and his family some time to get to that point, but he now says the benefits of putting more cattle in smaller areas for shorter periods are obvious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have double the farm we started with without buying one more acre,â&#x20AC;? he told producers at the Foraging into the Future conference.

He describes the journey as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tremendous leap of faith.â&#x20AC;?

The McElroys moved from the rich black soil zone east of Calgary to the thin brown soil zone at Frontier, Sask., in 1996.

They continuous cropped most of the land for 11 years while running a cow herd and yearlings.

The move to a grass-based operation began in 1998 when land that he said should never have been broken was seeded back to grass. The following year the first 5.5 kilometres of 3.8 centimetre water pipeline went in the ground.

There are now nearly 30 km of line.

The spring of 2002 was a turning point as McElroy picked up newborn calves outside in - 29 C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was late March, early April, and I was thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;this is stupid,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the year the bulls went out for the first time on Aug. 20 for a June 1 calving.â&#x20AC;?

The 3,200-acre native lease was split into six paddocks to encourage the cattle to graze areas that were under-grazed and allow over-grazed areas to recover. Dugouts were established in each paddock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the beginning of our thinking about rotational grazing,â&#x20AC;?

McElroy said.

About 600 acres of cropland had been seeded to grass by this time, and the family, which includes his

The McElroys use a system of intensive grazing similar to the operation shown here. | wife and nine children, were still cropping 4,000 acres.

McElroy was combining in the fall of 2005 when he realized grain farming was â&#x20AC;&#x153;no longer viable physically, emotionally or spiritually.â&#x20AC;?

The family decided to move completely to a forage-based cattle operation. Two thousand acres were seeded to grass the next spring and the remainder the following year.

Every piece of machinery was sold as soon as it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t needed, including the bins.

Electric fencing was installed, and water lines were laid down the centre of every quarter or half-section of newly seeded fields in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We began rotational grazing, even though we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t full understand it,â&#x20AC;?

McElroy said.

They started custom grazing for a neighbour, which still continues.

They also realized they needed to change their animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; genetics so that they were smaller, better-adapted and could graze year-round.

Bale grazing has improved the poorest land.

The past five years have seen a shift

to high intensity, or mob grazing.

McElroy had attended a conference where Neil Dennis, a strong proponent of the concept, had challenged him to improve his soil by increasing stock density for more hoof action on the ground to stimulate plant growth and shortening grazing periods for more recovery time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, that is putting 350,000 to 400,000 pounds per acre on average in one grazing mob,â&#x20AC;? McElroy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thismobstaysonbetween2.7and5.4 acres between two to four hours. They receive a new break of feed between

three and six times a day on average.â&#x20AC;?

The farthest the mob has to go for water is a quarter-mile. Water is pumped out of wells and dugouts using a propane-powered, remote-start generator and submersible pump.

The McElroys use an all-terrain vehicle fitted with an A-frame rack on the front to move and lift wires. He said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build gates. The cattle learn that a machine lifting wire means new feed on the other side.

The McElroys had 750 paddocks of 5.4 acres each this past year because they had only 200 millimetres of rain-

Vaccine in works for swine dysentery Identification of a new bacteria linked to the disease could pave the way for better control option

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A Saskatchewan researcher who identified a new bacteria linked to swine dysentery is hopeful further work will lead to a vaccine for the disease.

Swine dysentery and bloody diarrhea were discovered in the 1970s, but two cases in Saskatchewan in 2009 led to the discovery of Brachyspira hampsonii, a “cousin” of the bacteria tied to earlier cases.

Subsequent monitoring has identified further cases in Saskatchewan,

Alberta and Manitoba, making it the most common cause of the disease on the Prairies, said John Harding of the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

The disease isn’t a major cause of death like porcine epidemic diarrhea, which has high mortality rates in piglets. However, it does affect the performance of grow-finish pigs.

Animals can recover over a period of weeks, but intestines are damaged, affecting feed conversion and growth.

“The difficulty with this particular disease is that without a vaccine on the

market, the only way to control it once you are affected by it is through antimicrobials, antibiotics fed through feed and water,” said Harding.

“Clearly in this day and age with antimicrobial resistance … we’re not anxious to be feeding more antibiotics. Once a farm is affected, there is no way of eliminating it from the farm unless you feed fairly high levels of antibiotics for a long period of time and you basically clean out certain areas of the barn and do a very thorough sanitation program.”

Harding’s research program will

share $260,000 in federal funding with beef researchers studying bovine genital campylobacteriosis, which significantly reduces pregnancy rates in breeding cattle.

Harding said B. hampsonii can be found in healthy and sick animals.

“I think the question is still out there, whether this is an opportunistic (pathogen) or almost a normal pathogen ... and for some reason some pigs get sick and other pigs don’t,” he said. dan .yates@producer.com

Heifers rule at Friday Night Lights

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — It wasn’t so long ago when people couldn’t give a heifer away.

That was not the case recently in a sales barn at Olds, Alta., where the bidding was fast and furious for a select set of registered Simmental females.

The Friday Night Lights sale, held Dec. 19, offered 50 bred and open heifers that averaged $16,910. The heifer calves averaged $18,360 while the bred females averaged $13,200.

“Since the upturn in the cattle market, we are seeing an increased interest in purebreds,” said Scott Bohrson who managed the sale.

Bohrson Marketing is a collection of partners who run purebred sales specializing in Simmental, Angus and Limousin bloodlines.

“All the breeds are seeing an increase in interest,” Bohrson said.

“There is excitement out there.

Livestock producers have been waiting a long time since BSE.” An international embargo on Canadian cattle led to rock bottom prices after the disease was found in Canada in 2003.

The night belonged to Garth and Ang Rancier of Killam, Alta. They offered four females, including the heifer calf that was part of the winning pair to win the Supreme championships at Farmfair International in Edmonton and Canadian Western Agribition in Regina.

The youngster, named RF Not Just a Flirt 404B, topped the sale at $44,000 and sold to Rust Mountain View Ranch of Mercer, North Dakota. This three generation ranch ended up buying seven females at the Olds sale.

The Ranciers also sold an open heifer for $26,000 and two other calves for $13,000 each.

The young family holds a March bull sale, which this year will offer half and three-quarter brothers to the Supreme heifer. They sell only a few select females each year and are always looking for new sires.

“This is the top sale of the year,” said Rancier.

However, good animals always earn more money, he added, even when the markets dip.

“The top end never changes. Quality always pays,” he said.

The Ranciers run 85 mostly black purebred Simmentals and are already making plans for 2015.

“We always have some we are excited about every year,” he said.

Other top females at the sale included a solid black, polled consignment from Erixon Simmentals of Clavet, Sask. The January 2014 calf sold for $34,000 to Rust Mountview.

A bred polled, full Fleckvieh female from Sunny Valley Simmentals of Hanley, Sask., sold for $32,000 to Hoegl Livestock of Lloydminster, Sask., and Y-Coulee Land and Cattle of Frenchman Butte, Sask.

Lundago Livestock and Gardner Livestock, of Olds consigned a former champion to earn $31,000. It sold to Rock Star Cattle and Lone Star Angus of Sylvan Lake, Alta. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RUMEN ACIDOSIS

Liver abscesses still significant challenge for cattle industry ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

The condition represents a sizable economic loss and presents animal welfare challenges

R

ecent studies have demonstrated that liver abscesses are still a common occurrence among cattle at slaughter.

Liver abscesses are associated with episodes of rumen acidosis caused by carbohydrate overload. It is most commonly observed in feedlot cattle and in dairy cattle that are fed high level grain diets.

Risk factors include the amount of carbohydrate ingested, the type of grain being fed and the degree to which the grain has been processed.

The adaptation of the rumen bacteria to a carbohydrate-based diet is also an important factor in determining the severity of the acidosis.

Eating excessive levels of carbohydrates such as grain can change the rumen bacteria and drop the pH of the rumen. The lowered pH can damage the rumen wall and allows bacteria to pass into the bloodstream and enter the liver, where they can cause abscesses to form.

The National Beef Quality Audit car r ied out by the Beef Cattle Research Council in 2010-11 used the Elanco scoring system to assess livers for abscessation: • 0: no abscesses.

• A- : O n e o r t w o a b s c e s s e s o r abscess scars.

• A: Two to four abscesses that are generally less than an inch in diametre.

• A+: One or more large active abscesses along with associated inflammation of the liver.

A+ liver scores have been associated with reduced performance in feedlot cattle.

The 2010-11 audit found that 9.9 percent of livers from fed cattle had A+ liver scores, compared to two percent in 1999.

As well, 69 percent of the livers were deemed suitable for human consumption in 2010-11, down from 76 percent in 1999.

The audit estimated that liver abscesses cost the cattle industry a loss of almost $30 million a year.

A recent survey in the U.S. Great Lakes region, which was published in the Journal of Dairy Science, evaluated 1,461 cull cows at slaughter, of which 87 percent were classified as dairy cows. The study observed liver

abscesses in 32 percent of the population and found that 18.5 percent of the abscessed livers would equate to an A+ score.

The U.S. National Beef Quality Audit of 2011 found condemned livers in almost 21 percent of slaughter cattle.

Studies that have examined ruminal health at slaughter in fed beef cattle have found that 10.5 percent of fed cattle at slaughter had severe ruminal scars caused by episodes of ruminal acidosis.

These audits have shown that liver abscesses are still a significant economic and welfare challenge for the beef industry to overcome. There is a significant opportunity to look for specific inter ventions, such as

improved nutritional management, vaccines or pharmaceutical approaches to reduce the occurrence of rumen acidosis and liver abscessation.

A recent study by Dr. Castillo-Lopez and Dr. Greg Penner at the University of Saskatchewan used specialized in-dwelling pH measurement systems in the rumen to measure the pH of the rumen on an ongoing basis throughout the backgrounding and finishing period of feedlot cattle.

These measurement systems allowed researchers to record the number and duration of episodes when the pH dropped below a critical level of 5.5, which represents rumen acidosis.

The study found that most of episodes of ruminal acidosis happened during the finishing phase of the feeding period, particularly toward the end of the finishing period. Few episodes of acidosis were found during the study’s backgrounding and transition phases.

The study also found that 10.7 percent of the steers in this study had liver scores that would be considered A+, which is similar to the 9.9 percent level reported in the 2010-11 BCRC audit.

The study also demonstrated that the number and duration of episodes of ruminal acidosis negatively affected average daily gain and feed efficiency.

Liver abscesses represent a signifi-

cant economic loss at the slaughter plant because of the economic value of the liver.

They also indicate rumen health during the feeding period, and the increases we have seen in recent audits suggest that this may continue to be both a significant economic and animal welfare challenge that the dairy and beef industries need to addressed.

This type of research may give us more insights into the nutritional, animal and environmental factors that contribute to rumen health.

Food ingredients work for AGT AGT Food and Ingredients president credits turnaround to diversification

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The move by a major pulse processor to diversify into the food ingredients business is paying off.

Shares of AGT Food and Ingredients, the company formerly known as Alliance Grain Traders, were up 70 percent over a year ago as of early December.

That is the best performance of the 11 North American food companies tracked by Bloomberg.

“There’s a lot of excitement over the positioning of the company,” said AGT president Murad Al-Katib.

“The earnings have dramatically recovered from the 2012 trough.”

Al-Katib attributes the turnaround largely to the company’s decision to diversify into the food ingredients business. The first production line at its food ingredients plant in Minot, North Dakota, was commissioned in June 2013.

The facility produced 75,000 tonnes of pulse flour, protein, starch and fibre concentrates in 2014.

The company’s packaged food and food ingredients segment delivered $103 of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) per tonne in the fourth quarter.

That compares to $66 of EBITDA per tonne for the traditional pulse processing segment of the business.

“We’re talking about a very significant value lift,” said Al-Katib.

AGT’s board of directors recently approved the addition of a third production line at the Minot plant, which will be operational in the first quarter of 2015.

It will bring the plant to full capacity, with the ability to produce 105,000 tonnes of food ingredients annually.

“That’s a lot. That’s not a niche. This is becoming a big-scale business,” said Al-Katib.

He said interest from the major food companies has been terrific.

They like that the pulse ingredients are non-genetically modified, high in protein and fibre, gluten-free and rich in micronutrients.

They also like that pulses don’t require as much fertilizer to grow as other crops.

“There were over 700 product launches in the United States last year using pulse ingredients, and I would venture to say we have very strong presence in a large number of those products,” he said.

The fractionated products are used in a variety of applications, including baking, cereals, meat products, snacks, extruded foods, dips, soups,

beverages and convenience meals.

AGT signed a deal in June appointing Ingredion Inc. as the exclusive distributor of its ingredients in the United States, Canada, China, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.

As well, it signed a five-year agreement with Cargill to be its exclusive North American agent for pulse protein products for the pet food and animal feed markets.

AGT operates its own sales program in regions not covered by those agreements.

Al-Katib estimated that half of the pulses used in the Minot plant come from southern Saskatchewan.

He said he recently spoke to a grower from Craven, Sask., who received a premium from AGT for his high protein peas, which were picked up from his farm and shipped to Minot.

That same grower could soon be supplying another food ingredient plant closer to home.

AGT is conducting a feasibility study on converting excess capacity at its flagship lentil splitting plant in Regina into a second food ingredient facility. The project would also involve new construction.

It will be presented for approval by AGT’s board of directors in March.

MURAD AL-KATIB AGT FOOD AND INGREDIENTS

Al-Katib would like to expand the food ingredient business to 300,000 tonnes of annual capacity over the next four to five years.

The likely candidates to follow the Regina conversion would be AGT’s plant in Williston, N.D., and a portion of the company’s huge splitting operation in Mersin, Turkey.

It takes nine to 12 months to convert existing plants, compared to 18 months to build a new facility. It also costs less.

The food industry’s alternative flour segment, which includes pulse flour, is forecast to grow almost four times faster than wheat flour in the sweet and savory snack category from 2012-17 in North America and Europe, according to Euromonitor International. sean.pratt@producer.com

DuPont, Monsanto settle lawsuits (Reuters) — DuPont and Monsanto have agreed to dismiss patent infringement lawsuits against each other over seed development technologies.

Monsanto had alleged that DuPont infringed some of its seed chipping patents, while DuPont had claimed Monsanto infringed patents related to seed processing.

The two companies have been racing to develop improved crops through the use of genetic modifications and other means.

ENJOYING LIFE

Here’s why tomorrow is going to be a good day THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

Not everyone is an optimist by nature, but sometimes we have to be reminded that taking time to count our blessings can be a better approach

He fell in love with farming as a kid, when he and his two sisters summered at the Alberta farms of his grandparents and uncle.

“It was just so much fun — even the chores were fun,” he says.

“Our cousins thought we were crazy because they lived it all the time. But we only got to come in summer, and there was more fun on the farm than anywhere else.”

A lot of their customers might say the same about Rivendell.

The highly innovative couple, who were named Yukon’s 2014 Farmers of the Year, offer “pick your own” memberships, which give customers first dibs on produce when it’s ready to harvest.

Members can also come by six days a week to use the picnic sites and nature trails or walk the raspberry labyrinth on the 125-acre farm. Nonmembers pay an entrance fee ($6 for adults but younger children are free).

The farm also offers events, workshops and activities such as “farmer’s golf.”

It costs a lot to bring in power, build roads and make improvements such as a gravity-fed irrigation system, but they “wouldn’t have traded it for anything,” says Girouard.

“It’s been an incredible life, most excellent,” he says.

“It’s been hard, it’s been sad at times, but it’s been rewarding and joyous — the full range. I’m not going

to be a millionaire, although I could have been.”

Oh yes, there’s that. Along with being a master carpenter and architectural technologist, Girouard is an in-demand project manager known for getting behind-schedule and over-budget construction projects back on track. Companies have even sent workers to Rivendell to help with harvest so they can get him on site earlier.

“I love construction and farming, I just love farming more,” he says.

“I’ve driven into the elk enclosure and had an elk stick its head into my vehicle. Who gets to do that? Who gets to walk through the forest looking for an elk fawn?

“Not every day is happy, happy, but you’ve got to find the joy where you can. And when you farm, there are lots of opportunities for that.”

A born optimist? Fair enough.

Most of us aren’t cut from that cloth, tending to obsess when things go wrong and becoming fearful of trying new things.

But optimists remind us that taking time, even once in a while, to count our blessings is a better approach.

T

his time, let’s get to the takeaway right off the top: savour life and be optimistic.

“I just try to enjoy each day as it comes,” says Whitehorse farmer Rolland Girouard.

“I still enjoy getting into the market garden, and getting down on my hands and knees to pull weeds. After I’ve done a row, I’ll look back and say, ‘look at that.’

“I just enjoy what I’ve accomplished and look forward to tomorrow. You’re a farmer, right? So you believe tomorrow is going to be good.”

The words of an optimist? You bet, but not a blind one.

The story of Rivendell Farm is one of struggle and perseverance. There’s a reason why “Whitehorse farmer” is not a common term. If Girouard and wife Mary had chosen to dwell on the bad, they would likely have packed it in years ago.

As it is, it’s been 32 years since the couple took a piece of picturesque but totally raw land along the bottom of the Takhini River Valley and made it into something special. Along with bedding plants and organic produce, it’s a popular agri-tourism destination for nearby Whitehorse.

“I wouldn’t say it’s thriving, but it’s making its way,” Girouard says.

That’s no small feat for an operation that suffered one blow after another.

Silviculture was “a total flop.”

A greenhouse in town had to be moved back to the farm because customers kept bringing in aphids and other pests from other operations.

The Girouards don’t use insecticides.

Four thousand strawberry plants, planted according to government recommendations, all died.

Its largest buyer of produce closed.

A venture into elk ended with a sixfigure loss after Girouard developed severe allergies to the animals.

Actually, it wasn’t just elk. In 1992, he somehow became allergic to “just about everything,” including hay, which is a major cash crop, and sawdust. It meant Girouard’s off-farm job, carpentry, was also out.

“I couldn’t work. I was so sick I couldn’t do anything at all,” he says.

Rental houses, Mary’s off-farm income and bedding plants kept things going.

It took five years before he accidentally discovered yeast was triggering his allergies. That was a life-changer and allowed the couple to reclaim their weed-infested market gardens and continue to upgrade the greenhouses and farm.

And, as always for Girouard, it was a labour of love.
