Ag Canada developing plan for judicious neonic use Producers must tailor products to the right beetle species for best results in canola, say scientists

Small shippers lose in rail system plan Incentives based on moving large trains

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BY ROBERT ARNASON

An inherent bias against small shippers is unavoidable in the railway system, said two members of a small shippers panel at Grain World.

The system pays railways to run the biggest trains the farthest rather than smaller trains to closer destinations.

“That is the policy that we have with our revenue cap,” said Jerry Klassen of commodity trading company GAP SA Feb. 25.

“The more grain you can move, the more they earn,” he said. “There’s an incentive to move large trains.”

Small shippers found their planned shipments falling months behind schedule during the 2013-14 rail crisis, with problems continuing even after the railways began hauling record amounts of grain cars.

The record levels helped pull grain out of big elevators into 150-car trains to the West Coast.

BRANDON BUREAU

Agriculture Canada and the crop protection industry are developing a plan to wean canola growers off neonicotinoid seed treatments.

Department experts met with industry representatives this winter to discuss seed treatments and how farmers can choose an insecticide that’s appropriate for the type of flea beetle in their canola fields.

Producers can now use only insecticidal seed treatments from the neonicotinoid family, sold under names such as Prosper and Helix, or a neonic seed treatment in combination with DuPont’s Lumiderm, a Group 28 chemistry classified as an anthranilic diamide.

However, Lumiderm isn’t available as a stand-alone seed treatment.

“Each product seems to have really strong points and a slightly weak side to them,” said John Gavloski, an entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture.

“What they (industry) have found is they make a good blend.”

Selling Lumiderm with a neonic seed treatment may be effective against flea beetles but coating every canola seed with a neonic will eventually lead to a rise in beetles with resistance to the insecticide, which is not good product stewardship.

“It would be nice to be able to rotate (chemistries) and not have to use a neonic every year,” Gavloski said.

Bob Elliott, an Agriculture Canada entomologist in Saskatoon and a flea beetle expert, said government and industry representatives are working on the problem.

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE The solution is more complex than using a diamide seed treatment one year and a neonic the next because two primary types of flea beetles feed on canola on the Prairies: crucifer and striped.

Crucifers used to dominate, but striped beetles are now more populous in many regions.

Agriculture Canada entomologist Julie Soroka said in a 2012 report that the striped flea beetle has displaced the crucifer “as the most frequently encountered flea beetle in central Alberta, central Saskatchewan and much of Manitoba. And once rarely encountered in the rape-canola fields of southern Canada, (the str iped) is now found there in increasing numbers.”

The population shift is significant because neonics control crucifer flea beetles but are less effective against striped.

Lumiderm controls striped beetles but has its limitations.

“One of the things regarding some of the neonics is their water solubility…. If you get excess rain or mois-

ture, you can see them wearing out early,” Gavloski said.

“Lumiderm, there’s less chance of that happening. But because it’s not as water-soluble, you may not get the really quick uptake.”

Elliott said it’s unlikely that a region or a canola field has one species and not the other. Many areas have both.

He said producers need to select a seed treatment suited for the type of flea beetles on their farm so that they’re not using a neonic on every canola seed, every year.

“The only way that can be done properly is for producers to begin to monitor those populations within their field … (particularly) the emergence of the summer generation of flea beetles that comes out in July, August and September.”

Elliott said farmers could use yellow, sticky traps to assess the spring and summer populations of flea beetles.

“Based on that information, a decision could be made to go with a neonic alone, diamide alone or a mixture of the two,” he said. robert.arnason@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE However, farmers and companies trying to ship smaller amounts to the United States still found themselves waiting.

Ryan McKnight of Linear Grain said the Canadian system does not have a car bid system like in the U.S. that would give small shippers an option to pay more to get the railways to move grain in a direction other that the east-west corridor.

“They (U.S.) have a system of rail freight rationing, where cars trade in a secondary market and sometimes they trade at a premium and sometimes at a discount,” said McKnight.

The system creates incentives that can change a grain company’s behaviour, but the Canadian situation seems to shut down some grain routes.

CWB used delivery rationing to balance car supply and grain movement when it was in charge of organizing wheat exports. However, that delivery rationing system was eliminated

along with the CWB monopoly without creating a U.S.-style alternative.

“There is no price-rationing mechanism to ration the demand for rail freight in Canada right now,” said McKnight.

Audience member and Portage la Prairie farmer Jim Pallister highlighted a Canadian success story: the general allowance of large grain trucks.

“One thing we’ve really gotten right in Western Canada, and I don’t know if we fully appreciate it, is the way the prairie provinces came together on those super-Bs,” said Pallister.

“It’s big. It’s a common market. I never, when they built crushing plants in Yorkton, thought that we’d be shipping canola (by truck) from southern Manitoba to Yorkton, but it works. It’s too bad our American friends couldn’t get that together.”

Some U.S. states allow super-Bs and some don’t, which means crossborder shipping with that size of truck is a risky business. ed.white@producer.com

NEW VENTURES

Sask. town preps for new grain facility Preliminary work on the $20 million project in Nipawin is set to start in spring once service agreements are finalized with CP

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new grain handling company says it hopes to be buying grain from farmers in northeastern Saskatchewan before the end of the year.

Hanfood Group Holding Corp. announced plans last week to build a new grain handling facility and agricultural food park in Nipawin, Sask.

The proposed facility will include 46,000 tonnes of steel storage and a 134 car, loop-track siding that connects to lines owned by Canadian Pacific Railway.

The facility is expected to cost $20 million.

Timelines for construction were not specified, but partners involved in the project say preliminary site work is likely to begin in the next few months, once service agreements with CP have been finalized.

The company hopes to buy new crop grain this fall, although construction of its Nipawin facility is unlikely to be completed by then.

“We’re probably going to be looking at fast tracking certain parts of the facility (to accommodate grain deliveries this fall) … but it will not be 100 percent complete when we start to receive grain,” said Kevin Dahl, a Nipawin resident and partner in the project.

Hanfood president Andy Hu said t h e f a c i l i t y w i l l b u y g ra i n a n d oilseed to sell domestically and expor ted to China, the United States and Europe.

Hu, an entrepreneur, investor and property manager, has business connections in Canada and China.

He is also president of MaxCrop Farm Canada, a farming, property management and land holding company in Regina.

Ac c o rd i n g t o t h e c o m p a n y ’s website, it owns and leases more than 80,000 acres of farmland in Saskatchewan.

Dahl said the Nipawin project is the first step in a larger plan to establish

Hanfood as a recognized grain handling and food processing company with trading connections throughout the world.

He said the company has long-term plans to establish additional grain handling facilities in other Saskatchewan communities, although he would not provide details.

Nipawin mayor David Trann said the announcement of a new terminal and food park is good news for the town and neighbouring municipalities.

“The creation of jobs during construction and post construction, local business procurement opportunities and spin off … in the tourism sector is good for our community and

the region,” Trann said.

Hu said Hanfood’s proposed facility will be the only bulk handling facility in the Nipawin area located on CP tracks.

Cargill has a concrete elevator south of Nipawin on track owned by Canadian National Railway, as is Richardson’s concrete elevator 40 kilometres away at Carrot River, Sask..

The only other facilities in the Nipawin area include a Bunge facility that handles canola and a producerowned loading facility at Choiceland, Sask., owned by Torch River Railway. brian.cross@producer.com

FARM POLICY

Farmers call for more consultation in farm program design Canadian Federation of Agriculture wants more discussions than when Growing Forward 2 was set up

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Two years into Growing Forward 2 farmers are beginning to take stock of the latest agricultural policy framework and, in some areas, finding it lacking.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is already discussing what it wants to see in the next agreement.

Several themes emerged from a brainstorming session at last week’s annual meeting.

First, it wants to be consulted as Growing Forward 3 is developed.

President Ron Bonnett said a major flaw with GF2 was the lack of consultation.

Only as announcements came did they learn of the cuts to matching government contributions to AgriInvest from 1.5 percent of a producer’s allowable net sales to one percent, and lowering the AgriStability trigger at which producers qualify for a pro-

gram payout to 70 percent from 85 percent of a producer’s reference margin. The reference margin calculation is based on an average income of three of the past five years, with the lowest and highest numbers not counted.

Bonnett told federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz that the organization wants input and intends to discuss the existing and future plans at the next federal-provincial-territorial agriculture ministers’ meeting in Charlottetown this summer.

Delegates said something has to change to make AgriStability work.

Vice-president Humphrey Banack, from Camrose, Alta., said the possibility of a payment on his farm is very small.

He said the cost to participate isn’t a burden but the paperwork is. The program has to be more responsive because farmers are reluctant to do the work if they don’t have a reasonable chance of benefitting.

Banack said the government was concerned about making its payments.

“Some of the changes came (as a result of ) western Canadian grain farmers who had huge margins, and I think the government was truly concerned about having to meet those margin calls,” Banack said.

He predicted participation rates will drastically fall.

“Quite frankly, the writing is virtually on the wall for us,” he told the meeting.

“The only reason to participate is in the case of an absolute disaster and I guess we have to look at the risk.”

Jason Bent, Ontario Federation of Agriculture policy researcher, said the program changes created the double-edged sword of fewer payments and therefore lower participation.

“And, if we did have a major disaster, unless you’re signed up ahead of time in that program, that program

isn’t available to you,” he said.

He said the CFA APF working group is looking for solutions.

OFA director Mark Wales said the organization should ask for reinstatement of the programs as they were before the changes.

He said most producers triggered payments at the Tier 2 level, which is the coverage that was lost.

“The government were worried about their exposure and liability,” Wales said. “I think they were over worried about it and I think they made the cuts too great.”

Ritz said he hasn’t heard that the changes impacted farmers negatively.

He said no one talks about the other side of the situation.

“At the same time that AgriStability was ratcheted down, negative margins went up,” he said.

“At the same time we addressed a lot of the bankability and predictability by enhancing crop insurance

across the board.”

Livestock insurance was also introduced.

“When it comes to government coffers, the cost is about the same but there’s better coverage for farmers across the board,” he said.

Delegates passed a resolution calling for the previous 1.5 percent contribution to be restored. They also asked for a clearly defined AgriRecovery program for disasters, decoupled from other income-based programs.

Farmers observed that those hit by multi-year events, such as the flooding in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, aren’t well served by the current programs. karen.briere@producer.com

FOOD LABELLING

Approach to GM food labelling examined

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — The U.S. agriculture industry is coming to the realization that there needs to be some form of labelling for food containing genetically modified ingredients.

“It’s hard to argue with the notion that people have the right to know, consumers have the right to know,” U.S. secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack told delegates attending the 2015 Commodity Classic.

However, the problem is that there are only two valid reasons for putting something on a food label: provide nutritional information or warn consumers of a potential health risk, such as telling allergy sufferers there may be peanuts in the product.

Vilsack said there is no health risk associated with consuming GM ingredients, so it is unfair to taint GM ingredients by highlighting their presence on the label.

He believes his department must come up with a way to provide consumers with the information they are seeking without tarnishing the reputation of GM food as being unsafe.

The answer is to include the information in bar codes.

“You can take a smartphone and you can zap it on that bar code and you can find out everything you want to know about that product,” he said.

The American Soybean Association would like to see a different approach.

President Wade Cowan agreed with Vilsack that it’s time for farm groups to take their head out of the sand on the controversial issue.

“It’s a losing argument when you say consumers don’t have the right to know what’s in their food,” he said during a news conference.

“We’ve too long been the organizations in agriculture that said, ‘no, don’t do this, don’t do this.’ ” However, Cowan thinks it would be folly to label food containing GM ingredients because that would be 70 to 80 percent of the items on grocery store shelves.

Instead, he would like to see the U.S. Department of Agriculture provide a certification program for food manufacturers interested in offering non-GM food to consumers.

That is an approach endorsed by the Grocery Manufacturers Association.

“Hopefully this is a message that catches fire and goes forward in the U.S. and we put this issue behind us,” said Cowan.

Groups such as the National Corn Growers Association are using the Coalition for Safe Affordable Food to push for voluntary federal GM labelling.

Under that plan, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration would establish federal standards for companies that want to voluntarily label their products and would mandate the labelling of GM ingredients if it determined there is a health, safety or nutritional problem with the technology. sean.pratt@producer.com

US: Take countries to task over exceeding wheat support limits WHO IS CAUSING TRADE DISTORTION? U.S. Wheat Associates says the notion that developed countries distort trade through excessive crop subsidies is outdated. It is actually the developing countries such as China and India that are exceeding the limits they agreed to in the World Trade Organization. For instance, China is paying its growers $385 per tonne for their wheat.

Countries should face the WTO for excessive market distorting subsidies, says wheat official

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — U.S. Wheat Associates says it might be time to take some of the top wheat producing nations to task for flagrantly violating their World Trade Organization obligations.

India, China, Turkey, Brazil and Thailand have dramatically increased trade-distorting subsidies and are failing to report those subsidy levels to the WTO, it said.

China has exceeded its allowable aggregate measure of support on wheat, corn, rice and other crops by an estimated $48.4 to $109.8 billion in the last two crop years, according to a new study commissioned by USW. USW president Alan Tracy said China is paying its growers US$385 per tonne for their wheat.

“I imagine that some of your (Canadian) growers would welcome that kind of guarantee,” he said in an interview at the 2015 Commodity Classic.

India’s price-distorting subsidies were $36.1 billion to $93.4 billion over the same two-year period.

“The developing countries are the primary subsidizers and distorters of trade and they’re depressing prices for everybody,” said Tracy.

“They’re the ones that have been increasing their domestic support way beyond levels that were agreed to in the Uruguay round.”

Tracy said it might be time for the United States, Canada and Australia, which are three of the top five wheat exporting nations, to take the offending countries to WTO dispute settlement for their lack of reporting and excessive market-distorting subsidies.

“We’ve had a lot of interest in the study from both Canadian and Australian sources,” he said.

The U.S. used to be one of the biggest culprits when it came to subsidies, but times have changed.

GRAIN STORAGE

sean.pratt@producer.com

Visit us online at www.producer.com to see videos from Commodity Classic.

Ability to store grain provides leverage PHOENIX, Ariz. — American farmers have significantly increased their grain storage capacity, which is allowing them to become patient crop sellers, says U.S. Wheat Associates.

Growers and commercial handlers built more than 117 million tonnes of new storage from 2004-14 for an 18 percent increase in total capacity.

That is equal to about two full years of U.S. wheat production.

It includes 57 million tonnes of new on-farm capacity and 60 million tonnes of off-farm capacity.

“It strengthens producers’ hands if they’re able to hold wheat in storage,” USW president Alan Tracy said in an interview at the 2015 Commodity Classic. “When prices are low, we don’t sell.”

Farmers are storing more grain largely because they have produced 42 percent more of the top five grains and oilseeds over the last decade.

It helps that five or six years of strong crop prices mean growers have the financial wherewithal to be patient with their sales programs.

Another factor behind the grain storage trend is that farmers are growing more corn and soybeans.

U.S. corn plantings have expanded 19 percent over the past 10 years and soybeans are up six percent. Their gains have come at the expense of wheat and other small grains.

An acre of corn requires 3.3 times the storage space of an acre of wheat, while the storage requirements for

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY SEAN PRATT

an acre of soybeans is about the same as wheat.

However, soybeans are worth a lot more and farmers are more inclined to store that crop in hopes of a price rally.

“Your money doesn’t make much at the bank these days. Why not hold onto (soybeans) and wait for a better price?” said Tracy.

Expanded grain storage gives U.S. growers a competitive advantage over exporters in a place like Russia, where farmers don’t have the storage or the financial capacity to hold onto their grain.

“They tend to get rid of it every year, more or less, regardless what the price is,” he said. “In many cases, they sell at prices that no U.S. or Canadian farmer would be willing to sell at.”

Russian farmers are forced to sell into lower value markets such as Egypt.

“We’ve been kind of moving out of that area and concentrating more in Asia and Latin America, just as Canada has,” said Tracy.

Wheat storage in the U.S. varies by region. Growers in the hard red winter wheat growing areas typically use off-farm storage while spring wheat and durum growers in the northern states are more likely to have on-farm capacity.

“There are farmers who quite regularly hold onto more than a year’s (durum) crop,” he said.

“Their ability to hold and wait has paid off far more often than not.”

U.S. wheat is automatically given a low or feed grade

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Canadians need to look at how they treat U.S. wheat before they get too high and mighty about U.S. country-of-origin labelling, says U.S. Wheat Associates.

“I would suggest that what Canada is doing with requiring origin labelling of U.S. wheat going into Canada is a very similar situation in reverse,” USW president Alan Tracy said during an interview at the 2015 Commodity Classic.

U.S. wheat delivered to a Canadian grain elevator automatically receives a feed grade or the lowest grade available.

Tracy said that is unfair because a lot of U.S. wheat meets the same enduse quality characteristics as Canadian varieties and in many cases has similar physical characteristics.

“We’d like to see a more open border both ways,” he said.

“At this point, it’s open going south and not very open going north.”

Proposed legislation could address some of the association’s concerns.

Bill C-48, which is legislation to modernize the Canada Grain Act, was introduced in the House of Commons Dec. 9.

An amendment in the bill says U.S. grain would be assigned a grade “constituting the highest level of excellence for which the grain is eligible.”

The catch is that only varieties registered for use in Canada would be eligible to receive a grade, and not many of those varieties are grown in the U.S. It’s why the United States is also pushing for reforms to Canada’s variety registration system, which the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is considering.

Wheat trade will continue to be a one-way street until the desired reforms are in place. Canada exported 2.66 million tonnes to the U.S. in 2014, up from 2.42 million tonnes the previous year and 1.74 million tonnes in 2012.

Tracy said a lot more wheat has headed south in trucks in the past couple of years, which he attributed to Canada’s rail transportation problems.

“It’s a little bit concerning, but I think most people recognize the transportation problems you had in Canada,” he said.

“It’s natural that wheat is going to flow to where it’s worth more.”

Tracy figures it is only a matter of time before prices in the two countries fall into line with one another under the open market.

“We expect over time that you guys are going to sort things out and over time the farmer prices should equalize near the border for similar types of wheat,” he said.

“We’re not ready to call out the troops, shall we say.”

MICHAEL RAINE PHOTOS

The country has never exceeded its aggregate measure of support limit of $19.1 billion.

“We haven’t come close to that lately,” said Tracy.

“The old image as the major subsidizers is out of date.”

Tracy said even the European Union has made strides, noting that it recently signed a free trade pact with Canada committing to a zero tariff for wheat.

It wouldn’t do that if it was planning to continue heavily subsidizing its wheat producers because EU wheat would be uncompetitive, he added.

“They’re becoming much more market oriented,” said Tracy.

USW found that developing countries are also guilty of failing to report their annual crop subsidies or purposely misrepresenting them.

More than 640 notices were late as of November 2014.

China has not reported its subsidies since 2008, while Turkey’s last report was 2001. The U.S., by contrast, faithfully files its reports every year.

India submitted a notification last fall covering seven crop years and is now current to 2010, but the country used faulty methodology, according to USW. India pays its wheat growers a subsidized price of $280 to $285 per tonne for their wheat.

The country took the difference between that price and the market price and multiplied it only by the amount of wheat that the government buys directly from its farmers.

Tracy said it is supposed to multiply it by all the wheat sold in the country because government subsidies tend to inflate prices across the board in India.

“India used this frankly dishonest approach to show that they’re under their limits,” he said.

Tracy said the new reality of developing countries being the heavy subsidizers wasn’t contemplated in the original draft of the Doha round of trade negotiations.

That is why U.S. negotiators are reluctant to use the eight-year-old document as the starting point for discussions to finalize a global pact.

Spring rally for corn and soybeans?

Forecasts based on market history and stocks-to-use ratios indicate U.S. farmers should see slightly profitable prices

BY SEAN PRATT

SPRING RALLY POSSIBLE?

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bryce Knorr, analyst with Farm Futures, says that given the current year-end stocks-to-use ratio for corn, a spring rally in new crop corn futures could be expected with a minimum rally target of $4.58 a bushel.

PHOENIX, Ariz. — History shows that a spring rally is coming in corn and soybean markets, say two leading grain market analysts.

If they are right, it should boost all grain and oilseed prices.

Bryce Knorr, senior grain market analyst with Farm Futures, said the corn stocks-to-use ratio is projected to be less than 13 percent, which has happened nine times in the past 20 years.

“In eight of those years, we have taken out the fall highs,” he told the 2015 Commodity Classic.

“Usually this happens in the March to May time frame, so some time in the next three months.”

The fall high for the December 2015 corn futures contract was $4.39 per bushel, while the minimum historical rally was 4.5 percent above the fall high, which would put the spring price at $4.58.

The soybean stocks-to-use ratio is projected to be less than 15 percent, which has happened 14 times in the past 20 years. The November futures contract has rallied to take out the fall high in all 14 of those years.

The minimum rally out of those 14 years would result in a $10.85 soybean futures price.

U.S. farmers would be able to make a small profit on their crops if those corn and soybean prices are achieved.

“Of course, as the saying goes, past performance is no guarantee of future success,” said Knorr.

Ed Usset, grain marketing specialist with the Center for Farm Financial Management at the University of

Minnesota, also believes corn and soybeans will rally in spring to match or exceed their December highs.

Usset said March-June tends to be a good time to price corn and soybeans based on historical data because spring is often too hot or cold, too wet or dry or farmers are getting in the fields too early or too late.

“There is a lot of anxiety, and this is

what creates this bulge that tends to happen in the spring,” he said.

He analyzed how many times since 1980 the December new crop corn contract has rallied in the spring to surpass the December winter highs.

“Over the last 35 years, 70 percent of the years have found a way back to that December high or higher in the March-April-May period,” said Usset.

“That’s not bad odds.”

Half of the time it exceeded the December highs by five percent, which this year would be $5.60 per bu. for corn.

The odds of corn prices rallying to the average cost of production of $5.25 are 14 percent.

There were a handful of years where there was no spring rally, but those were years when the fall price was exceptionally high or exports were exceptionally poor.

“I don’t think we’re in that category,” he said.

Usset found that the results were similar when he crunched the numbers for soybeans.

“Just like corn, seven out of 10 years would revisit that December high or go higher,” he said.

For this year, that would mean a rally back to $10.29 for soybeans.

“You ask, what will get us there? I

don’t know. That’s what is interesting about the spring, isn’t it?”

Based on the past 35 years, there is a 50 percent chance of achieving a five percent premium over the December high, which would mean $11 soybeans.

As well, there is a 31 percent chance of rallying all the way back to the $11.50 estimated average cost of production.

“That surprises me. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that,” said Usset, noting the forecast for a record South American crop and increased soybean plantings in the United States.

Knorr said many factors can influence a potential rally.

Index funds, which take long positions in commodity markets, have been backing away from agriculture the past few years and are showing no signs of reversing that trend.

Speculators, who take long or short positions, were long in early 2014, then wound down their holdings and are now neutral. What they decide to do from here on in could bolster or neuter any potential rally.

The number of acres seeded to corn and soybeans in the U.S. is the other big influencer, which is still a big unknown. sean.pratt@producer.com

OILSEEDS

Argentine sales could depress summer market Farmers in Argentina hoarding old crop soybeans could flood the market during the summer months

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — A big wild card could depress soybean and canola prices this summer, say analysts.

“One of my very good friends is probably one of the greatest traders in the world and he believes we are going to see Argentina release a lot of beans come June, July, August,” said Mark Gold, owner of Top Third Ag Marketing.

Old crop soybeans from Argentina hitting the market just as U.S. farmers are poised to harvest what is expected to be a huge crop of 2015 soybeans could spell trouble for soybeans and other oilseeds, such as canola.

“There is no telling what the low (will be) in this bean market,” Gold said during an interview at the 2015 Commodity Classic.

Chip Nellinger, futures market specialist with Blue Reef Agri-Marketing, agreed.

He said Argentina’s farmers have been hoarding soybeans as a hedge against inflation and falling currency.

“Why sell them today when they’re just going up in value tomorrow?” he said.

That doesn’t sit well with the government, which relies heavily on the tax revenue generated when farmers sell their soybeans.

“It has kind of been a cat and mouse thing,” said Nellinger.

The government is threatening to impose policies and penalties that will encourage farmers to sell their stockpiles.

“I’ve heard estimates up to a third of their old crop production is still unpriced,” he said.

Nellinger agreed that could pressure soybean prices down, given the record new crop being harvested in South America and prospects for a massive U.S. crop.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its first U.S. crop seeding outlook of the year that American growers could plant 83.5 million acres to

The forecast surprised analysts, most of whom expect more soybean acres.

“I guess they must have legalized marijuana in Washington, D.C.,”

said Gold. “I think it’s absolute nonsense.”

He expects 88 million acres of both corn and soybeans, which would be a record-smashing soybean crop.

“One thing we’ve certainly seen are

the catfish ponds being torn up and those areas being put back into corn or beans,” said Gold, who recently toured Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

Nellinger is forecasting as much as

90 million acres of beans based on his conversations with seed dealers.

“They’re saying pretty consistently our bean sales are way up and our corn sales are flat to lower,” he said.

“I think you could pick up two million acres just in the south.”

Gold is more concerned about yields than acres. Yields keep improving, which means lower prices for both crops, especially if Argentina swamps the market with old crop soybeans.

“Could we see sub-$8 beans? You bet. Could we see sub-$3 corn? You bet,” he said.

New crop November soybeans were trading at about $9.95 a bushel March 2, while new crop December corn was trading at around $4.15.

Gold advised growers to price 20 to 25 percent of their new crop corn and soybeans, taking advantage of the recent price rally sparked by Brazil’s trucker strike.

“I’m a strong advocate that you need to be doing something right now and take advantage of these rallies that we’ve seen in this market,” he said.

Nellinger agreed, saying growers need to pounce when soybeans approach $10 per bushel like they did last week.

“This isn’t the year to sit back and do nothing. You’ve got to have a plan.

You’ve got to manage the risk and take advantage of rallies,” he said.

Nellinger expects canola prices to closely track soybeans, so the same advice goes for canola growers. sean.pratt@producer.com

NEW CROP PRICING

Be ready to act on spring rally to avoid summer price risk MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

J

udging from what analysts at the U.S. Commodity Classic said, there could be a spring soybean and corn rally followed by a lot of downward pressure on soybeans in the summer.

Canadian growers would do well to pay attention because canola prices are tied closely to soybean values.

Two analysts at the Commodity Classic noted that there is usually a spring rally in U.S. corn and soybeans, as long as there isn’t a burden-

some stocks-to-use ratio at the end of the crop year.

Their calculations suggest that a rally to $10.85 in November soybeans and to $4.58 in December corn are not unreasonable assumptions.

That would imply a nine percent rally from current prices in soybeans and a 10 percent rally in corn.

However, two other analysts warn of the potential for a lot of downward pressure on soybeans in the summer.

They, like most analysts, still expect a big increase in American soybean acres. Record crops from South America will already be on the market, and compounding that supply could be a lot of old crop soybeans from Argentina.

A spring rally followed by a summer decline is not unusual in years when there isn’t a major weather calamity such as a drought.

So to reduce risk, it would be a good idea to closely watch prices this

spring, talk to your market advisers and be ready to jump on profitable prices for some new crop production.

It was easy to make money selling crop at any time in the incredibly buoyant markets of a few years ago. However, in today’s market it will now be important to act when prices are profitable and lock in a portion of the crop.

March 31, which is the date of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s farmer survey-based prospective plantings report, will be particularly important.

Like in Canada, American farmers this winter are more undecided than usual about what to plant.

USDA surprised the market Feb. 20 with a soybean seeded acreage forecast that was well below the outlooks of private analysts.

It sees soybean area at 83.5 million acres, down slightly from last year.

Private analysts expected an increase of three to seven million acres.

The USDA number was a staff forecast, and it appears the trade largely ignored it, preferring to rely on their own surveys and observations, including seed sales and the belief that farmers will turn to soybeans because they have a lower cost of production than corn.

However in oilseeds the potential for a spring soybean rally looks better and the summer price outlook doesn’t look so bad if the more important USDA prospective plantings survey report does not confirm traders’ expectations for larger soybean acres and comes in closer to the February forecast.

This scenario gets a bit more weight when you read DTN analyst Darin Newsom’s March 1 report.

He said technical analysis of soybean price movement in February supports his contention of a long-term price uptrend first identified in October.

While tethered to soybean prices,

canola could ride the upper end of the usual relationship this year because its expected year-end stocks-to-use ratio of nine percent is even tighter than for soybeans.

Also, there is a good chance the Canadian dollar could weaken further, adding support to canola prices.

All this might be heartening, but locking in a profitable price for grain that will be delivered off the combine is important for peace of mind.

Farmers who did that last crop year were a lot more comfortable when prices started to tank during the summer.

With locked profitable sales off the combine to pay their immediate bills, they could afford to wait for the usual post-harvest rally. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Calculating wheat basis may require some homework

Basis can be misleading if you don’t crunch your own numbers Use a single currency to create local historical averages

BY ED WHITE

CALCULATING THE BASIS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Tyler Russell saw something he didn’t like when he looked out at the crowd of farmers he was talking to about wheat basis levels.

“You could just tell there was confusion,” Russell, who is manager of Cargill Canada’s network of crop marketing advisers and farmer risk management, said about meetings he held with farmers last October and November to promote a new type of basis contract.

“You could just see it in their eyes or you could tell by some of the questions that they were asking.”

It wasn’t just farmers. Russell said some of the agriculture professionals who attended the meetings also didn’t have much of a clue about how to interpret wheat basis levels offered at country elevators.

That’s a problem for a company like Cargill, which has a more active farmer-marketing program than any other grain company on the Prairies because farmers probably wouldn’t feel comfortable or secure using futures or basis based contracts if they couldn’t understand how to figure out good, bad and average basis levels on wheat.

So for the next series of farmer mar-

keting meetings the company held between December and February, it added a new, two-hour section: how to calculate wheat basis and build historical averages.

Russell said he was pleased that farmers seemed keen to learn the relatively complicated formula.

“They get canola basis,” said Russell. “They get what’s good and what’s bad.”

However, the simplicity of canola basis levels, which are calculated on Canadian dollar-based futures contracts and few quality complications, can’t be reproduced in wheat.

The foreign exchange rate poses a complicated challenge for wheat because most companies post U.S.denominated futures and then subtract a Canadian-denominated basis.

Russell said he taught farmers how to convert elevator final prices to a U.S. dollar value, subtract applicable U.S. wheat futures and come up with a U.S. dollar-denominated basis level.

World wheat prices and wheat futures prices are based on the U.S. dollar, which means Russell’s calculation is the most reasonable way to come up with values that mean something without the confounding influence of currency exchange

rates, which have been volatile in recent years.

He said the all-US currency calculation, when applied to Cargill’s wheat buying in Western Canada for the past three seasons, shows that 90 percent of the crop has been bought at a basis of US -$0.85 per bushel to -$1.50 per bu., based on a Saskatoonarea point, a range of $0.65.

However, the basis would have shown a wild range of +$0.40 to +$0.50 per bu. to more than -$2 if it had used a mixed U.S. and Canadian currency conversion, a total range of about $3 per bu.

Russell said Cargill dropped its basis low in the midst of the rail crisis of 201314 to discourage deliveries because it couldn’t move the grain. However, it chose not to go “no-bid” because some farmers said they might need to move grain regardless and wanted to have a price to consider.

He said farmers understood a lot more about wheat basis calculating after the meetings, which he hopes makes them feel more confident signing wheat contracts that involve futures or basis components.

If they don’t understand what’s going on with basis, they aren’t likely to use the products, he added. ed.white@producer.com

Tyler Russell, manager of Cargill’s market adviser team, suggests farmers do U.S. dollar to U.S. dollar comparisons when tracking American wheat futures, Canadian cash prices and basis.

Having the numbers all in one currency provide numbers that can be charted over time to create local historical averages for any elevator point.

Russell said farmers who compare company to company or elevator to elevator prices must remember to ensure they are comparing the same “base grades” of wheat because companies use different base grade.

By calculating their own basis, farmers will avoid confusion created by company websites that subtract Canadian cash prices from American futures prices, a misleading calculation that sometimes produces apparently positive basis levels.

“We don’t want people to (have the idea that) wheat basises are only

To calculate a basis price for wheat futures, start with these two numbers: • MGEX futures price HRSW ($US/bu.)

= 5.26

• Canadian Grain Co. cash price CWRS No. 2 ($Cdn/bu.) = 4.76 Now convert the Canadian price to U.S. (this example uses an exchange rate of $1US = $1.2526 Cdn) = 3.80 Finally, subtract the cash price from the futures price: 5.26-3.80 = 1.46 The basis is $US 1.46/bu. under the MGEX futures. good when they’re positive because if the Canadian dollar goes back to US 88 or 90 cents, you may never see a positive basis level again,” said Russell.

“If the Canadian dollar was to continue lower to 75 or 74, you might be seeing basis levels always positive a dollar a bushel. It’s all realized on the Canadian dollar and has nothing to do with the market.”

PHOENIX, Ariz. — It’s too soon to be writing off the Black Sea wheat crop, says U.S. Wheat Associates.

A story published in agrimoney.com last week said the European Commission’s crop monitoring unit had found the winter grain crops in northeastern Ukraine and southern Russia to be suffering significant winterkill.

Russia’s farm ministry has indicated the country’s winter cereal production could fall more than 40 percent to 28 million tonnes from 48 million tonnes last year if the crops grown on the 8.9 million acres that are rated in bad condition are lost.

Ukraine’s agriculture ministry said in a recent Reuters story that winterkill could take 13 percent of the grain crop, up from the average of 10 percent.

USW president Alan Tracy thinks

the estimates are speculative at this point.

The true condition of the winter wheat crops won’t be known until they break dormancy, just like in the U.S. Plains or Canada’s southern Prairies.

He said there has undoubtedly been damage in the Black Sea region caused by a dry fall, weak emergence, poor stands and an early winter cold snap.

“There’s a risk, but wheat is pretty resilient,” he said.

“People kill off the Oklahoma crop multiple times in the press every year, and they still end up producing some wheat. Let’s just wait and see on Russia.”

Tracy is taking the same patient approach with the U.S. winter wheat crop, which experienced some dryness in the southern Plains followed by a severe winter. sean.pratt@producer.com

COMMODITY CLASSIC

Spring could see rush on fertilizer, warns U.S. market analyst

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — A U.S. grain market analyst is warning growers that fertilizer supplies could be tight this spring.

“One thing that scares the hell out of me when it comes to this fertilizer market is that we didn’t get much down last fall,” said Chip Flory, host of Market Rally Radio.

It means a lot of growers will need to apply more fertilizer in spring.

He’s also nervous that many farmers haven’t made up their mind what they will plant. It looks like it will be a lastminute decision for a lot of growers.

Farmers will need plenty of fertilizer if the decision is to plant more corn, but they might be in for a rude awakening when they call their local retailer.

“You might not be able to get it this spring, guys. It’s that tight of a situation out there,” Flory told delegates attending the 2015 Commodity Classic.

It doesn’t help that many U.S. states

have experienced a colder than normal winter, which has some people forecasting a delayed start to spring planting that would create a smaller window for fertilizer application.

Fertilizer retailers tend to pull product out of Canada when supplies are tight in the United States, which can lead to a shortage north of the border, where the crop is planted later than in the U.S. Flory thinks growers should have already bought half of their spring phosphorus and potash needs and

percent so far this year.

Weekly fed cattle exports to Feb. 14 fell three percent to 4,222 head.

Exports are down 49 percent this year.

Fed marketings should rise in March but remain below year ago levels.

Packers succeeded in pushing cutout values higher with slower slaughter. They have comfortable supply, which could cause them to lower bids this week.

Feedlot supplies are generally current, but excellent feeding weather has improved performance, which might bring cattle to market earlier than expected.

last week, the fewest since the first week in January.

Canadian and U.S. cow prices are moving in opposite directions.

Canadian cow prices are up about $7 since the start of January, while U.S. utility and canner prices have fallen $2-$3.

D1, D2 cows ranged $130-$148 last week to average $138 per cwt., and D3 cows ranged $115-$133 to average $123.

should be buying the other half right away. They might want to hold off on the last one-third of their nitrogen requirements.

Flory said growers should have

already booked all their spring diesel needs.

Mark Gold, owner of Top Third Ag Marketing, said crude oil prices toppling from $105 per barrel to $48 in the last few months means it is time to lock in at least half the farm’s diesel requirements.

There is a camp that says diesel prices could fall as low as $30.

“If we get there, by all means lock in the rest of it,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE NEAR RECORD The weighted average steer price rose $1.50 to $190.74 per hundredweight, vying for the record high.

Heifer trade was not registered.

The week’s cash offering was a diverse mix of heiferettes, Holsteins and a limited listing of quality fed cattle.

A variety of bids, live and dressed, were reported, but most of the trade was dressed from $314-$320 per cwt. delivered. American buyer interest was reported, but no significant volumes traded south.

COW PRICES STRONG

FEEDERS WEAKEN Steers 600-700 pounds fell $3, moving off of highs two weeks ago. By the end of last week, the feeder market appeared to be down by about $2.

The Alberta weekly auction volume was large at 30,000 head.

Annual weekly highs have occurred during February only once in the past 15 years, in 2006. Prices usually rise into spring.

Prices have increased from February to March in 13 of the past 15 years with an average monthly increase of four percent. Steers 650 lb. in February averaged $280 per cwt., so a four percent increase would equate to $291 for March.

Prices will likely fall short of that but should be well supported because competition for grass cattle will likely be firm.

Exports to the United States will likely increase this month.

tract numbers are booked.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT CASH HOGS STRONGER U.S. cash hog price rallied on winter weather that slowed deliveries.

However, pork prices did not rise, which squeezed packer profit margins and led to ideas that the rally might stall.

The large pork stocks built up during the U.S. west coast port disruptions still need to be cleared, and demand is down in the eastern United States because of cold weather.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$49.50-$50 per hundredweight Feb. 27, up from $42$43 Feb. 20.

Slaughter was 2.142 million last year at the same time.

Grade A heifers sold up to C$4.40.

U.S. buyers are offering US$3.90.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

CRAIG’S VIEW

PENSION PLAN INVESTMENT

Rewards of land investment must be balanced with risks

T

he sense of community on the Prairies is strong. Connections to the land, neighbours and those we interact with every day form who we are. It is part of the very fabric of rural life.

That is why it is important for governments to act carefully, with a keen eye on the social implications of policies that could disrupt the composition, character and traditions that make up life here.

Questions have been raised recently about the appropriateness of allowing investment groups and pension plans to buy farmland in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan Farm Land Investment Board recently ruled that the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board was eligible to buy 115,000 acres in the province.

For older farmers looking to scale back or making plans to quit the business, the investment is welcome because it could mean getting more money for land they sell.

The new investment can also mean more than just additional money for the purchase of the land. Proponents of allowing these investments point out that capital is the lifeblood of any industry, and new sources of capital can be a rare find. Can we afford to turn it down?

Land investments can later lead to new equipment purchases, additional tax revenue, building materials and labour. And while it might be true that an investment fund owner won’t have an owner on site, there would be farm managers and employees who need food, clothing, and other essentials.

The spinoffs can be far reaching.

Critics complain that investments like these drive up area land values, pricing the property out of reach of local farmers who want to expand and new farmers looking to get started. These are arguments that should not be discounted.

Young farmers trying to gain a foothold in the industry shouldn’t have to compete

against the massive wealth that is available to foreign nations and multinational companies. That’s why the continued ban that prohibits non-residents of Canada and foreign entities from owning more than 10 acres of farmland in Saskatchewan must remain in place.

However, there are grey areas. Skyline Agriculture Financial Corp., which wants to offer financing to farmers, is taking the province to court after the Farm Land Security Board ruled it contravened provincial land laws.

The case will play out over the months ahead, but in principle it throws up red flags when a company says it wants to invest $50 million to $100 million over the next 10 years to enable farmers to buy land. Its complex model of mortgages, swaps and derivatives makes it different than a bank or other regular lender.

However, risks can be minimized with appropriate limits on how much land any entity is allowed to buy in any specific region and foreign ownership limits within investment groups.

Preventing too much concentration of land ownership in any one area should keep prices at competitive levels for both sellers and buyers.

Farmland does deserve special attention compared to other businesses because much more is involved beyond just the land. Those who own it and work it form the basis of rural communities. They forge local governments, shop at local stores and organize the 4-H club, while spending weekends maintaining the local rink.

There is a social fabric that must be both protected and nurtured at the same time.

Moving forward requires a delicate balance, but with the proper watchdogs in place the rewards can outweigh the risks.

CANADIAN YOUNG FARMERS’ FORUM

Land prices top of mind for next generation of farmers CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

I

t was a younger crowd at the House of Commons agriculture committee last week as seven of Canada’s finest young farmers visited Parliament Hill to talk about the challenges facing the next generation.

The House agriculture committee isn’t known to draw a crowd, unless there’s a food safety or transportation crisis.

However, the room was packed on the afternoon of Feb. 24 as some of Canada’s current and future farm leaders piled in to listen to what their colleagues had to say. The group was in town for the Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum’s annual conference, held Feb. 27 to March 1.

Those around the committee table appeared interested in the day’s topic, partly because half of the MPs were once young farmers themselves.

Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking, who suggested the topic, NDP member Francine Raynault, committee chair Bev Shipley and Conservative members Earl Dreeshen and Larry McGuire, who wasn’t in attendance, all farmed before entering politics.

Questions about the struggles and barriers that Canada’s young farmers face today, such as soaring land prices, a limited amount of available quota, tense succession planning, confusing tax rules and problems accessing capital, were plentiful “Some of the other people, when I come to these conferences, when I tell them that I pay up to $80,000 to $100,000 an acre for my land, literally say, ‘why are you still farming?’ ” said Kerry Froese, a poultry producer from British Columbia and chair of the Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum.

The comment drew audible gasps from committee members.

Pierre-Luc Lacoste said those high land prices are making it more complicated for people who weren’t born into a farming family to enter the industry.

Only eight percent of Canadian farmers are younger than 36, which is “not a good demographic,” said NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen, echoing similar comments that NDP leader Tom Mulcair made during a speech at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting Feb. 25.

The average age of a Canadian farmer is 55, according to Statistics Canada.

The number of farms in Canada is also shrinking, although Larry Spratt, a grain and cow-calf producer from northern Saskatchewan, said that’s partly because farms are getting larger and more efficient.

“Yes, farms are getting bigger, but you have to remember that we farm 5,000 acres. It takes us the same time that my grandfather took 30 years ago to farm 300 acres,” he said.

The demographic crunch is partly because farmers are farming longer.

More than one attendee at the young farmer forum joked that their father, grandfather or uncle was unwilling to give up farming as early as they would like.

“We just don’t want to give up,” Dreeshen told the panel of young farmers when the issue of succession planning arose.

“We want to die as a farmer, and it’s not the tax implications. It’s the fact that there’s really something important about getting your hands dirty and getting involved in all of these types of things.”

Talk to almost anyone in agriculture about succession planning and they’ll likely say it’s not easy, although they won’t say it in polite terms. More than one person has a tale of strained family ties thanks to tense succession talks. It’s a lengthy, often emotional process, one that experts say should start at least 10 years before the farm is transferred.

Lacoste said one of the biggest challenges is that farmers’ retirement savings are often the value of their land. Other times, Mom and Dad do

want to transfer the farm, Lacoste said, but there’s no one there to take it over.

As a way to mitigate this problem, he said, Quebec has created a list of farms available for transfer and a bank of people looking for farms.

Individuals are then matched to a farm, a process Lacoste described as kind of like a wedding. It’s simply a matter of connecting young people who want to farm with others who also enjoy farming.

Paul Glen, who farms in Keene, Ont., and serves as vice-president for the Canadian Young Farmers’ Forum, told the committee he used to think he was crazy for wanting to farm.

It wasn’t until he met other young farmers at the annual conference that he realized there were people who were as enthusiastic about farming as he was.

“To be able to take that energy ... luckily it lasts all year until the next conference.”

& OPEN FORUM SASKATCHEWAN INVESTMENT

ANTI-WHEAT

Pension plan says land buy benefits farmers

BY MICHEL LEDUC

T

he Canada Pension Plan Investment Board bought 115,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland a little more than a year ago from Assiniboia Farmland LP. Some misinformation has been circulating about this, and I want to set the record straight.

CPPIB exists to help provide a foundation upon which Canadians build their financial security in retirement.

We manage assets that belong to more than 18 million contributors and beneficiaries who participate in the Canada Pension Plan, including more than 700,000 Saskatchewan residents.

CPPIB believes farmland is a good investment because well-run farms that have been properly maintained provide stable returns over the longterm and add diversity to our investment portfolio.

CPPIB has the ability to spend money to improve farms and own the land for decades. Many emerging countries will see rapid increases in population and wealth during that time, which will increase the demand for food. Saskatchewan has the potential to be a big beneficiary of this global trend.

We spent a long time studying farming dynamics before we bought this land, and we’re proud to own it.

Assiniboia is an agriculture investment company founded and based in Regina. It had previously bought the 115,000 acres, much of which grows wheat, barley and canola, and we liked its business model, which supports family farms in Saskatchewan.

It helps farmers cash in on their

The investment fund says it can help young farmers get into the industry, expand and improve their production techniques. | FILE PHOTO land while still allowing them to run, and even expand, their farms if they choose. Assiniboia is now doing that on CPPIB’s behalf and with our financial backing.

It’s playing an important role in a market where many young farmers don’t have the money to buy their parents’ farms and loans can be hard to secure. For a long time now, 40 percent of Saskatchewan farmland has been rented, rather than owned, by the farmers who farm it.

Within about six months of owning the land, we ensured that 18 abandoned buildings were demolished, seven old storage and fuel tanks were removed and three yard sites cleared up. Two ponds that were being used to dump waste were cleaned out. An abandoned water well was capped.

We are also working on improvements to irrigation, storage and

drainage. We want to work with local farmers to improve production techniques and the livelihoods of those working in the sector.

Premier Brad Wall’s government has made its desire to foster a competitive, strong and vibrant economy clear. The long-term vision that he laid out in 2012 included increasing crop production by 10 million tonnes by 2020 and boosting exports of agricultural and food products to $15 billion. We want to contribute to those goals through our investment.

CPPIB is a patient, responsible, long-term investor. We do not plan to amass huge individual holdings of farmland or to squeeze out returns.

We will make reasonable investments to improve farms and help those farmers who choose to work with us to compete.

CPPIB paid Assiniboia $120 million for the land. If we bring our investments in Saskatchewan farmland up to $500 million over the next five or six years, we would still constitute less than one percent of the market.

Large investors make up a tiny sliver of Saskatchewan farmland transactions.

We did this deal in full daylight, following all the rules, trusting in Saskatchewan’s stable regulatory environment and its desire to foster a thriving economy.

Contrary to what’s been alleged, CPPIB did not make use of any loophole. The Saskatchewan Farmland Security Act allows CPPIB to buy farmland because we’re Canadian.

CPPIB was created for Canadians by an act of Parliament, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Act. Any changes to the act require approval from two-thirds of the provinces representing two-thirds of the country’s population.

The Saskatchewan Farmland Security Act was updated in 2002 to allow Canadian individuals and entities to own farmland but restrict foreigners and publicly traded companies.

CPPIB is quintessentially Canadian. We work for the millions of Canadians who have contributed hardearned dollars to the CPP and want to see that money put to work in investments such as Saskatchewan farmland. In the tradition of the family farm, CPPIB will work hard to represent both the interests of Saskatchewan residents and the province.

GRAIN MOVEMENT

Railway performance data tool for improvement HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

T

he railways are doing a wonderful job of moving grain. Just ask them.

Grain movement is better than last year’s debacle, so anyone who complains about service doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Yet somehow the weekly performance statistics from the Ag Transport Coalition paint a different picture.

For the first time, there is timely information detailing railway performance. Led by Pulse Canada and supported by the federal government’s Growing Forward 2 program, reports are non-judgmental. They simply lay out the statistics and leave the interpretation to others.

Other agricultural organizations help fund the initiative.

As executive director of the Inland Terminal Association, I’ve had a front row seat as the reporting process has evolved. I’m certainly not a logistics expert, so I’ll leave detailed analysis to those more qualified, but many of the numbers speak for themselves.

Total unfilled shipper demand was more than 19,000 cars as of Week 26, the mid-point in the shipping season, which is about 10 percent of total demand. Shippers continue to expect the railways to provide 10,816 of these cars, excluding orders associated with rejected cars, denied orders and railway cancellations.

Canadian National Railway spotted 3,302 hopper cars in the country in Week 26 and Canadian Pacific Railway spotted 3,020 cars. Most of them had been ordered for previous weeks.

Total movement is certainly one measurement of railway performance, but it’s more important to know how well the railways are meeting shipper demand. Based on that

metric, the railways continue to create a bottleneck in meeting sales commitments.

Farmer deliveries to prairie grain terminals continue through all kinds of weather, through road ban season and through spring seeding. Country terminals find a way to have enough grain to fill the cars that are delivered.

Some analysts point to west coast port capacity as a potential bottleneck, but the railways have never been able to swamp the terminals in Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Major investments are being made in Vancouver terminal capacity.

The reports include a breakdown by corridor. Shippers who are moving product to the United States or Mexico or to Vancouver for transloading are much less likely to receive their car allocation than if they are shipping bulk to Vancouver or Thunder Bay. Bulk shippers who load unit trains in multi-car blocks are generally expected to load cars within 24 hours of them being dropped off. However, unit trains are waiting an average of

40 hours this year on CN lines to be picked up after loading and 60 hours on CP lines. Only 29 percent were picked up within 24 hours.

A mountain of data is compiled to build each week’s report, and adjustments continue in how the information is presented. The program is managed by QGI Consulting.

There should be more statistics to reflect country terminal loading performance, and it would also be useful to have statistics on producer car movement. All the anecdotal evidence suggests producer car service has been horrendous.

Further report refinements are likely, but for the first time, timely railway performance data is available for all to see at www.agtransportcoaltion.com.

Measurement and transparency are vital for making system improvements, which means coalition reports are a potential game changer.

Bad facts can have real-life consequences EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

T

o watch anti-wheat messiah Dr. William Davis rhyme off disease after disease supposedly caused by the consumption of wheat during last week’s episode of CBC’s the Fifth Estate was to be left in absolute incredulity.

He compared wheat merchants to cigarette companies.

He claimed wheat causes more than 70 percent of all diseases, including various cancers, high blood pressure, schizophrenia and dementia.

He claimed wheat has killed more people than all of the wars in the world combined.

And no one knows this but him. Not the hundreds of thousands of scientists who have spent lifetimes and billions of dollars studying these diseases. They are all wrong.

It’s true that those with celiac disease should avoid wheat, but experts throughout the show ably d e b u n k e d D a v i s’s h y s t e r i c a l claims. Legitimate medical and scientific organizations don’t support him.

Still, he has sold almost three million books in more than 30 countries. His style of “guruism,” as it’s become known, is dangerous to farmers. Enough of this hype, which includes high-profile celebrities, can eventually prompt politicians to act.

Davis claims modern wheat proteins have been genetically modified to the point that they work like heroin.

And we’re all hooked. Dr. Oz, who’s had his own problems with credibility of late, accommodates him on his popular TV show.

Fifth Estate host Mark Kelley cited a University of Saskatchewan study that found the protein in wheat hasn’t changed much over the last 80 years. It’s not heroin.

Davis’s claims are largely anecdotal, which scientists say is no science at all.

Yet it’s surprising how quickly politics can overtake real science.

So it’s worth reading Michael Raine’s story on page 30 this week from the AG Issues forum in Phoenix, Arizona, in which Jim Blome, president of Bayer Crop Science, beseeched farmers to take part in a process of public education, what he calls “agvocacy.”

It’s an awkward word, but farmers would do well to embrace it before politics gets in the way. brian.macleod@producer.com

THE REAL SCIENCE? To the Editor: Your columnist Kevin Hursh touts “the science” when making claims that genetically modified organisms (and the intensive chemical use allowed with them) are safe for the food supply.

Both the federal Stephen Harper and the Saskatchewan Brad Wall governments parrot this. It’s all about “the science,” they say. But I’d like to know what science they are using.

In 2012, the results of the first ever long-term genetically modified feeding trial on animals were published, referred to as the Seralini study. The study found that laboratory rats fed a diet of GM corn and/or glyphosate residue (the primary ingredient in Roundup) were much more likely to develop tumours, digestive problems, organ damage, pituitary disorders, and to succumb to premature death than rats fed a non-GM diet.

In 2013, an Australian study of GM soy diets on just-weaned pigs found evidence of both digestive and reproductive damage in the animals.

Also in 2013, a Danish study on glyphosate excretion in dairy cattle found that glyphosate was toxic to the metabolisms of the cattle. Blood tests showed toxicity with a particular effect on liver and muscle cells.

The science I see on GMOs indicates that they cause health damage in animals. Surely, at the very least, these study results indicate that much more independent, long-term animal testing is required before GMOs can be declared safe for human consumption.

Instead of insisting that untested GMOs are safe for the food supply, I suggest Hursh look into the real science on GMOs. I would also suggest that it is he, not GMO opponents, who is “scientifically illiterate or hopelessly dogmatic, or both.”

Jillian MacPherson, Gainsborough, Sask.

(Editor’s note: The statistical significance and the methodology of the Seralini study have been subject to considerable criticism in the scientific world.)

RESULTS-BASED AGREEMENTS To the Editor: In a Jan. 1 column in The Western Producer, Ross Macdonald talks to developing policy that fosters coexistence of the ranching community and species at risk.

The South of the Divide Conservation Action Program Inc. is working towards

that goal through the advancement of results-based conservation agreements. These encourage ranchers to make management decisions that will lead to specific and defined habitat objectives for species at risk. Until now, ranchers have made most, if not all, management decisions to produce a ma rke ta b l e c o mmod i t y (i. e. a 600-pound calf in the fall).

The fact that there are still species at risk in southwest Saskatchewan is purely a byproduct of the management decisions made by the rancher to produce that calf. Results-based agreements will ask the rancher to make decisions that will produce a tangible commodity (species at risk habitat) that can be measured and thus marketed.

When those results or habitat targets are achieved, the agreement will trigger a financial payment to the rancher.

Pilot agreements are in place now with ranchers in southwest Saskatchewan who have existing habitat because of past management decisions but are also undertaking additional activities such as herding livestock, making arrangements to rest certain areas of their lands, or graze underutilized lands.

The rancher is the final decision maker on management activities, and while there is technical advice available from a professional agrologist, the agreements are not prescriptive.

Funding for these pilots is coming from Environment Canada, which has also provided the South of the Divide Conservation Action Program with funding to secure additional projects over the next three years.

Ross also points out that the fact that there is species-at-risk legislation demonstrates there is a public demand for species-at-risk habitat, and in the case of these pilot projects, justifies public money being spent. In the future, these types of agreements should not be limited to only having the government being the “buyer.” Other buyers can also exist and producers who choose to should have the ability to market species-at-risk habitat.

The government can also develop sound policy that would advance market opportunities for producers providing species-at-risk habitat.

HOLD RAILWAYS ACCOUNTABLE To the Editor: There’s been a lot of conversation about the shortcomings in Canada’s transportation and grain handling system recently, but what remains clear is that conditions for grain farmers in Western Canada are not improving as the 2014-15 crop year progresses.

In early December, we published a report showing that Western Canadian grain farmers lost an estimated $3.1 billion in 2013-14, and were on track to lose an estimated $2 billion in 2014-15, due to capacity issues in the transportation and handling system.

Updated numbers in early February showed farmer losses are increasing and that the $2 billion of projected losses for 2014-15 was significantly underestimated.

These new numbers show that even

though f.o.b. Vancouver prices for wheat are virtually unchanged to slightly higher, the primary elevator price for wheat in Saskatchewan has dropped an additional $20 per tonne since October. That is, the excess basis cost for farmers, relative to the posted costs for rail freight and primary and terminal elevator charges, is now over $62 per tonne, compared to $40 per tonne in October of last year.

To break this down, if you are a farmer who markets 2,000 tonnes a year, you are losing between $80,000 and $120,000 in 2014-15, depending on when you marketed your grain.

To prevent further losses, something different needs to be done. The shortcomings in the system reflect a lack of appropriate regulation in the industry.

Government regulations function best when they fully balance the issues and options available to all players. This is why one of our key recommendations to the CTA review panel was to create an oversight group that includes farmer representation and ensures

forward planning and operational concerns are addressed in a way that takes into account farmers’ interests. Farmers need regulatory structures that lead to results that mirror how a competitive marketplace would perform.

Another key recommendation from our report was to facilitate a full costing review. This is critically important right now.

Farmers are certainly prepared to pay fair rates to move their grain, but we don’t know what fair rates are. A study done by Travacon Research in 2010 estimated the railways received supernormal returns of $4.61 per tonne in 2007-08 and $8.81 per tonne in 2008-09. Those numbers have almost certainly increased since then, as railway efficiency gains have increased, but those efficiency savings have not been passed on to farmers. Improvements in efficiency by the railroads would translate into lower prices only if the rail sector operated in a competitive market.

They do not.

We are reliant on government regulation to ensure fairness, which is why a complete railway costing review needs to take place before any changes are made to statutory rail rates and the maximum revenue entitlement of the railways.

Other recommendations included maintained railway revenue entitlement and enhanced mechanisms for railway competition.

We also outlined four principles for change, including: fostering competition, increasing market transparency, being positioned for future growth, and ensuring farmers have a voice in the transportation system.

(You can find the full report at http://www.myrm.ca/apas. ) The best hope for agriculture and the rest of the economy is that the government implements appropriate regulations and holds railways responsible for their performance.

MORE BALANCE NEEDED To the Editor: Having been a science teacher for several years, I was disappointed with your use of the Reuters “Globe grew warmer in 2014” article in your Jan. 29 edition.

Anyone with an understanding of the nature of science and a willingness to objectively look into the issue realizes the climate has been changing for billions of years, going through countless

cycles of global warming or cooling without the presence of humans.

The article contains several areas of exaggeration, omission or misdirection. For example, the headline and first paragraph purport that 2014 is the warmest year on record. According to their adjusted data, 2014 was the hottest year by only .01 C, with a margin of error of .19 C, making their claim meaningless.

Later, it says the temperature has risen by .8 C since 1880. While this is true, it should be pointed out that 1880 is near the end of the Little Ice Age, a cool period that was preceded by the Medieval Warm Period, where the Earth was warmer than it is today. If one chooses 1940 instead of 1880, the rise is only .5 C. Furthermore, there has been no statistically significant global warming since 1998, though we have been releasing CO2 into the air at an ever increasing rate. No doubt, we will naturally experience global warming again at some point, but it is obvious that the increase in CO2 from pre-industrial levels has had little or no effect on global temperatures.

We need to remember that science is based on data and facts, not manu-

factured consensus, while recognizing that alarmist climate scientists have their livelihoods vested in the continuation of the anthropogenic climate change narrative.

I find it interesting that while agronomists pour over nutrients, micronutrients and soil fertility, all of which is good, they refuse to address the elephant in the room — atmospheric CO2. Why do greenhouse owners pump CO2 into their greenhouses?

Maybe the agriculture sector should be lobbying in favor of clean-coal technology rather than jumping on the carbon-credit bandwagon along with the people in power that are pushing carbon taxes for political, not environmental reasons.

agriculture. (Consumers want organic, so why are farmers wary?

Jan. 29) The article is well researched and documented, and strikes the right tone. It realistically assesses the future of both organic and conventional farming and their relationship with the growing number of customers who feel they want the right to choose what kind of food they eat.

I welcome the approach that the Canadian Organic Value Chain Roundtable has taken in presenting the transition to organics as an attractively profitable way of life and

13

growing crops — that message is long overdue. The organic sector will welcome all new producers.

However, I would also echo the caution expressed in the article, that farming organically is hard. Yes, by all means “Come for the profits,” but expect to have to stay for the philosophy. If a commitment to the philosophy isn’t embraced, your move to organics will be too shallow-rooted to survive through the inevitable weed wrecks and price slumps.

estern Producer managing editor Michael Raine travelled to Phoenix, Arizona, last week to cover the 20th annual Commodity Classic, which calls itself “America’s largest farmer-led, farmer-focused convention and trade show.”

One of the events Michael attended while there featured the president of Bayer Crop Science, Jim Blome.

His coverage of the event and Blome’s comments there under the headline, “Farmers needed for food fight,” seem to be living up to the feisty billing if the flurry of comments being left in response is any indication.

“As per usual, another agribiz executive with both feet in his mouth, another weak attempt at divide and conquer. The war, Mr. Blome, is not with the consumer and the producer..... It’s with an increasingly savvy citizenry and you, pal …” wrote a commenter identifying himself as Richard.

“A public completely in touch with their food has got you and your ilk in their sights ... and there’s no where for you to hide.”

Blome, of course, sees things from a slightly different perspective, noting that larger-scale agriculture is thought of by some as being abusive to both land and animals.

“There is nothing more sustainable than a seventh generation (American) farmer,” Blome told the gathered crowd.

“They aren’t going to leave a mess for their kids.”

Commenter Sandra Finley thinks Blome hits the nail on the head when it comes to large-scale ag being abusive to land and animals.

“Mr. Bayer, you are right. Largescale agriculture is thought of as abusive to land and animals. And we humans are members of the animal kingdom.”

Another commenter, Terry, said Bayer cannot be trusted.

“Less farms, bigger acre numbers on farms and farmers are supposed to step up and bail out Bayer Crop Science? Just like corporate liability, where the game of hot potato ends with the little guy burning his hands. Farmers would not leave a mess for their kids?” Terry asks rhetorically.

“They will and they have.… This is a

trust issue and trust doesn’t return until someone claims responsibility or owns up to the problem, says what they are going to do and does it.”

An older blog posting by Winnipegbased WP reporter Ed White was also generating a steady stream of comments from readers last week.

Ed took to his blog in the wake of the murders in France of Charlie Hebdo staffers to share his views on free speech.

“A number of vegans — people who think it is bad or wrong to eat anything derived from animals — decided to pounce on the (#farm365) hash tag and load it with anti-animal agriculture Tweets, including ugly photos of hurt animals and outraged statements about how terrible vegans think animal agriculture is,” he said in his post.

“This sort of messy but acceptable public discussion seems to be what’s happening on #farm365. Go look at it. It’s a fascinating example of free speech in the digital age.”

One comment from VeganRoo was particularly noteworthy, according to Ed. “Farmers and the animal ag industry have been ‘telling their truth’ from the day we were born. The idea that animals are here for us, they are food, their lives don’t matter, we can use them for any end we desire but don’t need, is a story we’ve all been told all our lives,” wrote VeganRoo. “It’s taken as a given, much like having chattel slaver y was once an unquestioned given, and it’s time to question it.”

VeganRoo’s comment was wellreceived by others, prompting White to reply.

“That’s an exceptionally well-written and expressed response. To me, it sums up well the honestly held and passionately promoted viewpoint of many vegans. That’s good for farmers to see because sometimes they only see accusations and outraged allegations thrown against them and don’t get an appreciation for the basic assumptions underlying the vegan perspective.…

“When the different perspectives are laid out calmly and rationally like you’ve done, the underlying assumptions of both sides can be seen clearly by farmers, vegans, the public and anybody interested in studying the issue. I think this is infinitely more constructive than some of the very personal attacks that have been thrown at some farmers who think, from their perspective, that they’re doing everything right for their animals.”

Constructive, and well put, Ed. Let’s all remember that word whenever we choose to comment. paul.yanko@producer.com

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE

NDP, Liberals woo CFA delegates as election looms Improved accountability from railways and support for supply management were among issues raised, promises made

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair says a stronger wheat board would improve grain handling logistics and end the transportation backlog on the Prairies.

As the remains of the former Canadian Wheat Board head toward privatization by 2017 and the country heads toward a fall election, Mulcair told delegates to the Canadian Federation of Agriculture annual meeting his party supports farmers and will take their advice.

He said the Conservative government’s response to the grain backlog has been incompetent. The federal order requiring minimum volumes to move each week is not working and has resulted in just two small fines.

“They don’t hold the rail companies accountable even as the companies take in record profits,” he said.

Mulcair said the CWB played a vital role in co-ordinating grain shipments, and the move to marketing freedom has actually shackled shippers. He said farmers deserve better, which is why the NDP wants to improve what’s left of the board.

“No one is talking about bringing back that wheat board in that form,” he said.

“But not having a champion in your corner, no longer having someone to stand up and work for you, because the government’s not doing it with regard to the railroads, has led to the biggest crisis in grain delivery by rail in Canadian history.”

Mulcair and deputy Liberal leader Ralph Goodale wooed the farm vote during the CFA meeting.

The federal election is set for Oct. 19, barring a snap call or a delay by the ruling Conservatives.

In his address to delegates, Goodale pointed to statistics released by the Ag Transport Coalition showing the railways aren’t performing as well as they say. Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway are more than 18,000 cars behind, and less than half of cars ordered have arrived on time, according to the coalition.

A day later during question period, Goodale asked transport minister Lisa Raitt if the numbers are accurate and, if so, acceptable.

She replied she couldn’t confirm someone else’s data but said that grain was moving to port “in the framework that we expected it would.”

Goodale said the governmentdesigned system isn’t working.

“The capacity is not sufficient,” Goodale said at CFA. “There’s still no clear definition of what constitutes

proper service and how it’s to be measured, no mechanism to achieve common sense co-ordination.”

Shippers have no alternative delivery methods and no legal recourse and the token fines imposed on the railways are paid to the government, he added.

Goodale and Mulcair also pledged support for supply management systems now in place for dairy, poultry and egg industries.

Goodale said although the government maintains that it supports supply management, it has also

said it will provide compensation if necessary.

“That sort of begs the question, what’s the compensation for if you are solidly positioned in favour of supply management?” he said.

Mulcair expressed concern that a Conservative government would have free rein after the next election to trade away Canada’s supply management system.

He also promised to adapt the NDP

Feed barley rally may be on horizon: analyst

Feed barley just can’t get a break.

The 2015-16 price outlook is poor, even with low production and razorthin stocks on the Prairies, says a major Manitoba barley buyer.

However, farmers who still have unpriced old crop barley might have a pleasant surprise in the next few months.

“As we get to spring and as these stocks start to get depleted, we could see a real rally,” said Steve Bloss of Maple Leaf Foods’ feed grain sourcing wing, which buys 430,000 tonnes of feed per year in Manitoba.

He said stocks are “really tight”

OF BARLEY IN 2014-15 right now, which is unlikely to change in 2015-16. Even if farmers boost barley acreage 10 to 15 percent, that would still be small in an historical context.

Prairie farmers seeded 5.5 million acres of barley in 2014-15, compared to 6.6 million acres the previous year.

Acreage has steadily slipped as other crops provided farmers with better profit potential.

However, Bloss said the tight stocks won’t give farmers the needed boost

in prices and profits because of a large supply of cheap feed grains in the United States and overseas. Barley is tight in Canada but not on the world market, and imported U.S. corn production is replacing barley in feed rations and might swamp them this coming crop year.

“Our inclusions on feed barley over the year … have only ranged between five and eight percent,” said Bloss.

“Corn has been heavily weighted, wheat has been second and barley is just a small part.”

Maple Leaf has at times had 40 percent barley in its feed grain rations.

Barley prices in Manitoba have been around 120 percent of the value of corn, which makes it unattractive

to buyers, Bloss said.

Barley and feed wheat in southern Alberta have been at about par, which also makes barley unattractive.

“We use a least cost formulation,” said Bloss. “When you put these kind of numbers into a least cost formulation, it’s going to turn back and say you need corn, you need wheat and you don’t need barley.”

China has been a recent positive surprise for overseas barley demand, with a big boost in imports last year.

However, burgeoning production in Russia and Ukraine in recent years has put many millions more tonnes onto the world market. ed.white@producer.com

U.S. official says Canada is likely to win case

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Arizona — U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack has conceded that country-of-origin labelling contradicts his government’s international trade promotion policies and free trade agreements.

“The Congress has directed us to do one thing, which is to label, designate and identify U.S. made products,” Vilsack told the Commodity Classic conference in Phoenix last week.

“That, in and of itself, doesn’t create issues with international trade.

That’s informing consumers that this product has a U.S. focus.

“Within the (World Trade Organization), however, if you create situations in which producers in other states (such as Canada) are put at a disadvantage, then WTO says you can’t do that.”

Vilsack said he believes the WTO has said COOL causes the segregation of livestock in the processing and feeding systems, which creates an unfair advantage for American farmers and processors.

“And that’s a problem,” he said.

“Congress is telling us to do one thing and the WTO is telling us, ‘the way you are doing it, you can’t do it,’ ” he said.

“Sometimes you can kind of square that hole, but in this case, I don’t think you can.”

Vilsack said the $1 billion a year in damages that the Canadian industry are claiming for beef is too high and might interfere with settlement of the issue.

He said Canada will likely win the WTO appeal if Congress doesn’t repeal the law. Action on the issue is expected in May, he added.

The WTO appellant panel met in mid-February to review the American appeal.

Canadian government officials have said they would place punishing tariffs on a long list of American products, with a 100 percent tariff on American beef and pork, unless the U.S. complied with the WTO order.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association has complained that COOL has cost cattle producers $25 to $40 per head since its inception.

A WTO ruling in Canada’s favour would allow the federal government to seek retaliatory tariffs on $1.1 billion worth of imported U.S. goods and commodities.

It released a list of potential commodities targeted for retaliation in summer 2013.

The CCA feels the $1.1 billion figure, based on the annual damages suffered under the 2009 COOL rule, will actually be higher after Congress amended the law May 23, 2013.

Is plant health a legitimate use of neonics?

They’re registered as insecticides, but they are also known to improve plant ability to cope with stress

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

There is little doubt that insecticidal seed treatments enhance early season plant development and root growth, says a University of Guelph field crop pest specialist.

Nonetheless, the larger question is more difficult to answer: is it acceptable for farmers to use insecticides as crop health products?

“It’s a very complicated issue,” Art Scaafsma said in an email. “These (products) are not registered for this purpose … but farmers see (the plant

health advantage) and count on it as a secondary benefit.”

Research suggests that neonicotinoid seed treatments, such as thiam e t h ox a m a n d i m i d a c l o p r i d , improve plant vigour and help crops cope with drought, weed pressure and other stressors.

Syngenta and Bayer, the makers of CruiserMaxx and Raxil, are promoting the plant health contributions of neonic seed treatments, which are applied to nearly all canola and corn seed in North America and a portion of soybean seeds.

Syngenta has branded the benefits

from thiamethoxam as Vigor Trigger and Bayer calls its product Stress Shield.

Manitoba Agriculture pesticide specialist Jeanette Gaultier said insecticides should be used to kill pests rather than bolster crop development.

“At MAFRD (Manitoba Agriculture) we refer to that as prophylactic use.

We recommend against that,” she said.

“We’re always recommending … that you’re using that pesticide when it’s needed, when the pest is present.”

But Scaafsma said the issue isn’t black or white because neonic seed

treatments are useful for both pest control and plant health.

“Most corn producers in Ontario plant corn as early as possible in April, and under these stressful conditions we have never had as uniform and vigorous stands as we have today,” he said.

He said along with neonics, new genetics, new fungicides, better planter technology, as well as seed uniformity and quality, have all played a role in better plant establishment and yields, which sometimes exceed 200 bushel per acre.

“These results were unheard of 10

years ago,” he said.

Clarence Swanton, a University of Guelph plant scientist, has studied how thiamethoxam affects corn when plants are subjected to weed pressure.

He said the insecticide turned on genes in the plant, which helped the corn cope with stress.

“One of the things that get expressed when plant gets stressed … is free radicals,” Swanton said.

“This seed treatment triggers the gene to scavenge up free radicals before a lot of damage is done.”

Swanton said he approached Syngenta about the research because he wanted to understand how thiamethoxam augments plant health.

“I asked them, ‘do you guys have any idea how you actually get that growth stimulation?’ ” he said.

“The response was, ‘we have a few ideas but really we’re not sure how it happens.’ ” Swanton said the results could lead to new modes of action and novel seed treatments.

“For me, the ‘ah ha’ moment was, ‘what if we could trigger genes every time there was a stress.’ …. That would be immensely cool in agriculture.”

Bob Elliott, an Agriculture Canada entomologist in Saskatoon and a flea beetle expert, is undecided about using insecticides as plant health products.

Research indicates that neonics stimulate plant defense responses, but neonic seed treatments don’t aid crops every year.

“In relation to soybeans, is vigour a limiting factor in its production, and are there demonstrable positive benefits year after year?” he said.

“I think it’s a key decision that all producers are facing regarding the use of seed treatments because they are being used kind of prophylactically … in the anticipation of insect damage and (abiotic stress).”

Elliott said companies are free to market products as they see fit. If insecticide seed treatments protect crops from pests and improve plant responses to stress, ads will tout those benefits.

Growers will ultimately decide if the hype is real and if it’s worth the extra cost, Elliott said.

In an email, Bayer Crop Science said its product promotion, including Stress Shield, emphasizes the benefits and solutions that customers are seeking.

“It’s important to understand that growers have choices to select the best product for their needs,” Bayer said. “The added benefit these products have to plant health is an important advantage that growers need to understand when making seed treatment decisions.”

Bayer also said seed treatments require less active ingredient per acre than foliar or soil applied pesticides.

“Extensive product development trials show that these seed treatment products have a favourable safety profile towards beneficial insects, based on their use pattern and inherent properties,” they said.

“Product stewardship is about continually rotating crops, technologies, chemistries and agronomic practices.” robert.arnason@producer.com

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Turkey sector seeks standards

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Turkey Farmers of Canada wants national standards that guarantee a high level of care and welfare for birds.

The plan comprises the industry’s on-farm food safety and flock care programs and incorporates the code of practice for the humane handling of turkeys.

Under the plan, independent auditors would assess farms to prove to processors and consumers that all requirements are met, said Peter Boyd, executive director of the national turkey organization.

Three provinces now have mandatory flock care based on the code of practice. It will be compulsory in Alberta by the end of the year, and two provinces have not rolled out such a program.

CBC television aired an undercover video of abuses at a turkey farm in Ontario last year, and the industry was spurred to action, Boyd told the Alberta Turkey Farmers annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 24.

“Food service is clearly taking note of these things as these things emerge,” he said.

“Their interest is in what their consumers want and what their brand stands for.”

Revealing videos have also exposed animal abuse in the hog, dairy, veal and egg industries.

Consequently, animal care and welfare were among the Top 5 con-

cerns in a 2014 consumer food survey, said Boyd.

These concerns were rarely a consideration five years ago, he added.

The turkey industry has developed a multi-point plan that will suit processors and retailers rather than each customer setting its own standards.

“Meeting the requirements of several different customers becomes quite a significant challenge,” Boyd said.

For example, the United Kingdom has various corporate programs, and several auditors may visit the same farm.

Companies often use their standards as a marketing advantage, claiming theirs are better than the competition.

The Canadian program plans to use trained auditors who are at arms length to the turkey industry to provide an objective assessment. They may show up unannounced, and problems can be corrected immediately.

“The primary processing sector is not doing this just to be ornery or hard to get along with,” Boyd said.

“This is because their customers are putting pressure on them, and that pressure is coming from the consumers.”

The national plan should also be transparent. However, Boyd said it is hard to determine how much people want to know about the treatment of turkeys at farms or processing plants. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Chicken sector awaits trade deal Chicken farmers and egg producers are confident of a positive outcome

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Canada’s chicken industry is confident supply management will remain largely untouched when the Trans Pacific Partnership deal is signed.

“We are confident because the Canadian government has signed nine trade deals since 1994 with 42 countries, and in every single one of those trade agreements they have achieved increased market access for our exporters while preserving supply management in Canada,” Mike Dungate, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada, said at the Alberta Chicken Producers annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 24.

“They have proven time and time again that can be done.”

The TTP is a proposed trade agreement between 12 nations of the Asia Pacific region, including Canada and the U.S. Egg Farmers of Canada chair Peter Clark is also hoping for a good deal, but there is concern about the final agreement.

“You never know where things are going to land, particularly with the final hour,” he said in an interview.

“It becomes sometimes a political answer to the question, and political answers are not always the best for

75 million kg OF CHICKEN WERE IMPORTED IN 2013, WHILE EXPORTS WERE 150 MILLION KG. some of us.”

The agreement could be completed by the end of this year.

“They really are closing down and finalizing issues. There is a real possibility a TPP agreement may be concluded by this year,” Dungate said.

“Our job is to ensure we maintain supply management through these negotiations.”

Canada and Japan have been criticized for holding up the deal over the protection of specific agricultural commodities, but Dungate argued that is not the case.

He said the key issues are state owned enterprises, intellectual property rights, the environment, pharmaceuticals and market access across the entire economy.

Technical sessions have not always accomplished as much as planned, and a ministerial meeting has been postponed until April, he added.

Dungate said the United States also needs to pass fast track legislation so that Congress can vote yes or no to the deal without debate. In addition, the U.S. and Japan are still negotiating access for agricultural products and automobiles.

“Beef and pork negotiations are pretty much finalized in terms of the access Japan would have to provide on those,” he said.

The U.S. and New Zealand have accused Canada of being a closed market because of its quota system, but Dungate said Canada is the world’s sixth largest food importer.

“It is not Canada that needs to make concessions. It is other countries that need to make concessions and catch up where we are at.”

Canada imports some U.S. chicken duty free, while other countries have a 5.4 percent duty under a tariff rate quota.

The 238 percent tariff over quota has not been charged.

New Zealand does not import chicken, while Mexico will not import chicken from Canada because of avian influenza in 2004.

The Canadian chicken industry is worth $3.5 billion a year, according to the Chicken Farmers of Canada website. barbara.duckworth@producer.com SEE NEXT PAGE FOR RELATED STORIES

EGG CONSUMPTION

New quota deal Expanded laying hen production fails to satisfy demand for eggs will expand chicken allocation An increase in population and demand has sparked duty free imports

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

After six years of negotiations, the agreement is ‘a careful balance of give and take,’ says official

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Chickens farmers are developing a new quota agreement that allows all provinces to expand production in an orderly fashion.

Alberta pulled out of the federalprovincial agreement on chicken production last year because it wanted a higher allocation amount.

A memorandum of understanding was signed last November after six years of negotiations.

“This agreement meaningfully settles Alberta’s allocation issue, and it will serve as a basis for Alberta’s re-entry into the federal-provincial agreement,” Alberta Chicken Producers chair Erna Ference told the organization’s annual meeting Jan. 24.

Overall market demand and natural population growth are considered when assessing how much quota each province should receive.

Alberta and Ontario have long argued they received less quota than they should as their populations surged.

David Hyink, a director with Alberta Chicken Producers, said the agreement is the best solution at this time and should address growth for the next 10 years.

“We can model and we can guess, but how things are going to turn out three, five, 10 years from now is impossible to predict,” he said.

The entire supply management program could have unraveled if the system had maintained the status quo, he added.

Chicken Farmers of Canada chair Dave Janzen said the new proposal allows every province to expand.

“This agreement represents a careful balance of give and take all around,” he said.

“I firmly believe this is the best agreement we could reach because it was the only agreement we could reach in six years of work.”

Chicken Farmers of Canada executive director Mike Dungate said the provincial supervisory boards must approve the agreement, hopefully by spring.

Allocations consider gross domestic production, population growth and input costs to match production with demand.

Dungate said the industry has been growing steadily to meet growing consumer demand.

“We have been aggressively allocating chicken and we have seen because there have been low beef and pork supplies in North America, we have actually been increasing production significantly,” he said.

The Canadian population expands about one percent a year, and chicken supplies have kept pace.

“We increased our production by two percent in 2014. We will continue to do that,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RED DEER — Eggs have cracked their anti-nutrition image.

Canadians have been eating more eggs for the last eight years, with consumption increasing by more than three percent last year.

Egg Farmers of Canada chair Peter Clarke called it a good news story, considering the bad rap eggs have received for contributing to high cholesterol.

The flip side of the story is that increased population and higher demand for eggs, especially in Ontario and British Columbia, have prompted duty free imports from the United States to fill shortages.

“These are tractor trailer orders of eggs that are coming in,” Clarke said in an interview following the Alberta Egg Farmers annual meeting in Red Deer Feb. 24.

The national organization has applied to the Farm Products Council of Canada for more quota, and both sides are debating how that can be accomplished.

“When we go forward with an allocation, we have to justify it sometimes … and they feel we haven’t done enough to allocate that quota,” he said.

The council allowed producers to place more laying hens in recent years, but the expected production from those birds did not seem to materialize, said Laurent Pellerin, chair of the farm products council.

Egg allocations are based on past requirements, but the current formula is not working correctly to predict future needs, he told the meeting.

The Farm Products Council of Canada approved an increase of 1.7 million laying hens over the last three years but there is still an egg supply shortfall. | FILE PHOTO The council approved more quota last fall, but also questioned current production, saying it is concerned about creating a surplus of table eggs in some provinces and continued shortages in others.

Supply management is meant to produce the right amount for the country, Pellerin said, but 1.7 million of Canada’s 22 million hens are

not producing.

“If we have a shortage in the system, where are those eggs coming? from those 1.7 million layers we approved in the last three years?”

If they were in production today, it would almost equal the amount being imported, he added. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RURAL PERSPECTIVE, FUNDING

Century wrought major change School board members have seen their duties change from a hands-on approach to handling broad-based education issues

BY CHRISTALEE FROESE FREELANCE WRITER

Bert de Gooijer remembers helping lay a gymnasium floor and lining up contractors for the job when he first became a school trustee in 1999.

His role has changed significantly in the last 16 years. School board trustees now find themselves less involved in daily operations and more focused on shaping the overall direction of education in Saskatchewan.

The Saskatchewan School Board Association (SSBA) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, prompting the government to name 2015 the Year of the Trustee.

School divisions across the province have undergone numerous amalgamations over the past 100 years, creating 28 larger districts from a high of 3,878 in 1916.

De Gooijer has watched his division go to 1,300 staff members and a $100 million budget from 60 teachers with a $5 million budget.

“We used to be very hands on, but now, having gone through three amalgamations, our jobs are more focused on setting priorities,” said the farmer from Kelliher, Sask., vice-chair of the Prairie Valley School Division.

De Gooijer believes the transformation of the trustee’s role is a good one because it allows the province’s 259 school trustees to focus on issues that are larger in scope.

“A lot of our role now is advocacy work in terms of ensuring for a rural perspective and ensuring that folks in the government and ministry of education understand the need for, quite frankly, an equitable education system across the province.”

De Gooijer pointed to the distinctly rural issue

of inadequate computer band width that was impeding the ability of rural teachers to use technology to its full capacity.

Trustees identified the issue, and lobby efforts by the school board association have resulted in increased government attention to the flow of digital information to rural areas.

“We said, ‘hey look, we need to see an increase,’ and we have seen that, so there has been some improvement,’” said De Gooijer, who is also involved in the SSBA. SSBA president Connie Bailey said students in the province would not be as well served without local trustees.

“Trustees put in countless hours of their own time, and they care deeply about what goes on with the individual student,” she said.

BERT DE GOOIJER PRAIRIE VALLEY SCHOOL DIVISION TRUSTEE

Kathy Ponath of Naicam, Sask., who chairs the North East School Division, said trustees play a vital role in ensuring that the province’s various communities are heard.

Issues such as transportation and school closures are some of the more challenging ones for trustees, she added.

“It is important that each trustee bring the perspective of his or her particular region to the table, but at the end of the day, personal bias is put aside to make decisions that are in the best interest of the entire division,” said Ponath.

The modern role of a school trustee in 2015 is markedly different from that of their early counterparts, who were often active at the school level.

Ponath, whose great-grandfather was a trustee in the 1890s, said the role of trustees may have changed, but the general philosophy has not.

“The same beliefs that inspired him (her great-grandfather) to work really hard and donate limited resources to establishing a school are the same beliefs I have.”

De Gooijer said funding will be one of the largest rural issues facing the education system this year.

“I think one of the biggest challenges now is developing a funding distribution formula that allows equitable funding across the province,” he said.

“There needs to be a recognition of geography for larger school divisions and the costs incurred in delivering services.”

FARM LIVING UNEXPECTED SOURCES OF GLUTEN

WHEAT SENSITIVITY

Gluten-free diet not a fad to celiacs TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

S

eparating internet myth from fact is a key piece of being comfortable with eating gluten free.

First, look at the date of the information because data a year old probably is out of date regarding manufactured products.

Access information from celiac support groups and look for a group that has a professional advisory board that reviews new findings.

It has become popular to remove gluten foods from the diet as part of a weight loss diet.

Many processed meat and food products are high in calories and often contain gluten so this may be a reasonable choice.

People with non-celiac gluten sensitivity may benefit from a glutenfree diet but science remains skeptical of the benefits it has for the general population. However, people with celiac disease must be glutenfree to prevent symptoms and disease-related complications.

Gluten is the general name for specific proteins in wheat, including kamut, spelt, rye, triticale and barley.

It is the gluten in the flour that helps bread and other baked goods bind together and prevents crumbling.

This characteristic has made gluten popular as an ingredient in many processed and packaged foods.

Medical reasons for removing gluten Celiac disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by gluten. This results in an inability of the body to absorb nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. There is no cure, but t it can be managed by following a glutenfree diet.

People with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), a chronic skin condition, may also benefit from a gluten-free diet. Individuals with DH have an abnormal mucosal lining of the small intestine identical to those changes seen in persons who have celiac disease.

Some individuals have non-celiac

• Beer • Cereal-based coffee substitutes like chicory and barley • Chicken and beef broth, canned and bouillon • Imitation bacon • Pie fillings and puddings • Sauces like chutney, ketchup, soy and tamari • seasonings

gluten sensitivity. This means they get a variety of symptoms when they eat gluten and feel better on a gluten-free diet but do not have celiac disease.

Common symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivity include abdominal pain similar to irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, headaches and paresthesia (tingling of the extremities). There is no damage to the intestine.

People should consult a doctor to be properly diagnosed if they believe they have gluten sensitivity.

Reading labels With a gluten-free diet, reading food labels is essential. There are often hidden sources of gluten in soups, luncheon meats and sausages.

Terms to look for on labels are hydrolyzed vegetable (HVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP) and malt.

The following are other names for wheat : atta, bulgur, couscous, durum, einkorn, emmer, enriched, white and whole-wheat flour, kamut, seitan, semolina, spelt, dinkel, farro, triticale (a cross between wheat and rye), triticum aestivum, bran, flour and germ.

Saskatchewan School Board Association marks 100th FREELANCE WRITER

There were school boards in Saskatchewan even before it was a province.

Their history dates back to 1885 when 59 school districts were established. Each board comprised two Protestants, two Roman Catholics and the lieutenant governor of the Northwest Territories.

The concept of a board of education

was developed in 1905, followed by the establishment of the first Saskatchewan School Trustees Association (SSTA) in 1915.

The focus of the early boards centered around language. English was not yet universal, which caused major education delivery issues.

In 1920, issues over language of instruction and religious symbols resulted in the formation of the Catholic School Trustees Association

It amalgamated with the SSTA in 1951, forming the Catholic Schools Section, which retained direct access to the government on issues directly affecting it.

The SSTA came of age in 1952 when it was incorporated by a special act of legislation that reaffirmed its voluntary nature. The organization was renamed the Saskatchewan School Board Association in 2003.

Know your employees to succeed Agribusinesses must adjust to different work ethics of youth and retain expertise of older workers best management practices.

Make them create goals, especially long-term ones, and set deadlines

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Andrew Dixon wasted no time getting into farming, making the leap from high school into the family business nine years ago.

A featured presenter at the North American Farmers’ Direct Marketing Association annual conference here in February, Dixon said his generation can offer a fresh look at the farm business.

“We are investing in our future, we’re planning on being in business years down the road,” he said.

The multi-generation Grandaddy’s Farm at Estill Springs, Tennessee, grows wheat, corn, soybeans, flowers, fruits and vegetables on 1,800 acres.

“I’m not afraid to try new things,” he said, including using social media, Twitter, YouTube videos and Facebook to bring greater exposure to the seasonal agritourism and farm market without added advertising costs.

“That’s what our clientele is using … so we have to be where they’re looking.”

He said the Dixons use Facebook to tell the story of a family working together on the farm.

“It keeps that relationship with us.”

Dixon said his family works well together despite the difference in ages and work styles.

“We let things roll on and don’t hold grudges. We try to do what’s best for everyone,” he said.

Knowing how to improve relations and workflow with different age groups and capitalize on young peoples’ strengths are especially important for agribusinesses facing labour shortages from retiring older workers.

Alex White, a dairy science professor at Virginia Tech, said businesses will lose the skills and expertise of older workers who have a different mindset than later generations.

He said older workers show more respect to employers and have a “live to work” attitude that sharply contrasts with the “work to live” approach of younger workers.

“The older ones are more loyal to the employer, the younger ones are

job hoppers and less formal,” he said.

Younger generations are more technologically savvy and bring skills in multi-tasking that can be useful on the job.

“They have a good work ethic if you show and tell them what to do, but today’s generation have a hard time figuring out what to do on their own.”

White said that’s likely because many are used to having things done for them by a highly protective, coddling generation of parents.

They are great at gathering data but not sure how to synthesize it,” he said.

“They get excited about the big picture, but coming up with a plan to make it happen is harder.”

White said they bring different learning styles to the workplace.

“It means we have to change to work with them to find something in the middle,” he said.

“Tell them your expectations but don’t tell them how to do it. Let them use their creativity.”

White suggested less formality, hands-on training, flexibility and patience.

Accepting differences between generations and being open to change can improve communication. He said expressing appreciation to baby boomers for their dedication, hard work and long hours will help get the most out of that age group .

For Generation X (people born between the early 1960s and early 1980s), be clear about the desired results and the rewards for good performance.

ON THE FARM

Farmers busy with off-farm jobs, industry involvement Small farm operators combine teaching career and role as president of Keystone Agricultural Producers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

JUSTICE, Man. — Leigh was in her garden when the reality of her situation became overwhelming.

“I had a little crisis,” said Leigh, who is a schoolteacher now but in 2000 was a stay-at-home mom whose youngest child had just begun a full day of school.

“When Mike hit Grade 1, I had quite the emotional meltdown. I just didn’t know what to do with myself.”

Leigh and Dan Mazier have a 1,000 acre crop farm northeast of Brandon. They share cropping equipment with Dan’s brother, David, who lives down the road and also owns 1,000 acres.

Farming can be a busy life, but not busy enough for them, especially with their restricted acreage. That’s why Leigh had her crisis. Both Dan and Leigh need to be busy to be happy, even if they have sometimes overstretched themselves and been forced to pull back a bit.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen in the growing season,” said Dan, who has just become Keystone Agricultural Producers president and knows it can be a demanding role. He realizes it will affect Leigh too, with him being called away frequently.

“It’s that whole other side of the relationship. When you take on the presidency, your whole family’s buying into it.”

Taking on extra work today makes sense. Both of their children have moved away and they like to keep busy. Leigh teaches kindergarten to Grade 7 at the Deerboine Colony

Leigh and Dan Mazier of Justice, Man., are learning to balance work, family life and community service. The solar panels are part of a pilot project with Manitoba Hydro. | ED WHITE PHOTO about 40 minutes away and teaches English as a second language in Brandon.

Dan is taking over at KAP after being vice-president for four years, following six years as a school trustee and previous local KAP work.

The couple wasn’t planning to follow the farming life. Leigh is the daughter of a railroad worker and her family is dominated by railway work.

Dan got an agriculture diploma in 1985, then went to work at Brandon’s Simplot (now Koch) fertilizer plant for 17 years.

The two met in high school and married in 1985, settling in Brandon.

Leigh first was a pool supervisor for

the city, then became the local Red Cross branch manager.

Even then the two kept themselves busy. Dan went from being on student council in high school to class president of his ag diploma class to shop steward at Simplot.

Leigh got busy with Red Cross management, including dealing with an influx of northern people displaced by the massive fires of 1989 two months after she got the job.

“That’s called learning your job very fast,” she joked.

Dan was helping his father on the farm, where Dan had grown up, and by the late 1990s was thinking of getting more involved. He and Leigh

had already built a house there.

Leigh had left her job after her second maternity leave. After having her daughter Hannah, work was still possible. But things got crazy after Mike arrived.

“I’d have to be on the road for a nine o’clock meeting in Winnipeg and my day care wouldn’t take them yet and when Dan got home after a midnight shift he certainly didn’t want to be taking care of two little ones,” said Leigh.

“It just wasn’t working, so we made the big decision for me to be a stay-athome mom.”

But once both kids were in school and didn’t need her in the day, she

felt directionless, making her think a lot about life.

“Dan said to me: ‘You always wanted to go to school to get a degree. Why don’t you go to school?”

In six years she got her teaching degree from Brandon University and had a third career.

Dan and his brother David have worked together co-operatively for many years now, sorting through the complications of intertwined farms.

They’re stuck with small land bases, so they have shared equipment and work together to make everything efficient.

Both men are in their 50s but have already begun succession planning with Meyers Norris Penny, where Dan once worked part-time. The two brothers try to make sure each of them feels their interactions are fair.

“If people think they’re being shafted, they aren’t going to want to work together,” said Dan. “If you want to work together, you’ll find a way.”

Being president of KAP will be demanding, but Dan admits having a long admiration for the kinds of men he used to see leading the farm community.

In the mid-1990s, his neighbour Murray dragged him to a KAP meeting in Virden and he saw people like farm leader Owen McAuley informing farmers about complicated legislative and regulatory matters that would affect their farms.

“I was just in awe of what they knew.

I didn’t know why they were doing it, but there was someone there telling us the story.”

So both Leigh and Dan are OK with being busy, even if Leigh is just getting used to the extra expectations of being the KAP president’s spouse.

Dan says he’s trying to make sure he can balance family, farm and KAP, which is why he’s hoping for an open spring free of flooding.

ISLAND AGRICULTURE SHOW

ISLAND AGRICULTURE SHOW

Strategies underway to promote Vancouver Island agriculture Organic food distributor suggests small producers combine volume to reduce shipping costs

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

COURTENAY, B.C. — British Columbia hopes to increase its annual agrifood sales to $14 billion from $12 billion in the next three years.

Agriculture minister Norm Letnick said some of that growth will come from Vancouver Island, where a wide variety of food is produced.

“With time we will see even more products being demanded by other markets, and that will encourage from an economical sense, more agriculture throughout British Columbia,” he said.

His ministry’s advisory committee is developing strategies to increase agricultural production provincewide.

“I would like to see more land used for agriculture already in the ALR (Agricultural Land Reserve),” he said.

Freight costs on and off the island are challenges for island producers.

Letnick said producers have asked him to lobby the federal transportation minister and B.C. Ferries to lower wait times for those shipping live animals.

“It’s one thing to be waiting with a truck full of dry goods, it’s another to be waiting with a truck full of cows,” he said.

Letnick said he’s working with B.C. Cattlemen’s Association general manger Kevin Boon on the advisory committee and showcasing island beef through events such as B.C. Beef Day in Victoria this summer.

“That’s one way we can encourage the island and the expansion of the beef industry,” he said.

“With the price of beef these days, a lot of people are looking for opportunities to expand herds and start herds all over B.C.” He said the industry can take advantage of existing resources in disease testing and computer systems assistance as well as benefit from programs such as 4-H. “(4-H) helps provide good training

Two agribusiness operators told delegates at the Islands Agriculture Show in February that a drought in California is a threat to the food supply.

Carmen Wakeling, operator of Eatmore Sprouts and Greens near Courtenay, B.C., said the island receives 65 percent of its produce from the state.

“We’re in a situation where growing more produce and protein is looking more attractive,” she said.

Wakeling praised the work of the Comox Valley Economic Development and Tourism in promoting the region’s products, citing the number of people starting food enterprises and small farms on the island.

Jodi Rolston of Discovery Organics, a distributor of organic and fair trade products, said smaller producers could work together to produce enough volume to ship economically.

“Collaborating with neighbours on shipping pallets can help you and the end customer,” she said.

Producers selling farmgate eggs hear how to increase confidence

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

COURTENAY, B.C. — Candling eggs is a simple way for small flock producers to keep customers happy and eggs clear of hazards, says a poultry specialist.

Clayton Botkin of the B.C. agriculture ministry said in an interview during the Islands Agriculture Show in Courtenay that the practice is done at grading stations but could easily be done for flocks marketed from the farmgate.

Candling can be as low tech as shining a flashlight on eggs to look for anything out of the ordinary, such as blood spots, worms and disrupted yolks.

“It doesn’t need to be onerous or cumbersome,” Botkin said. “Consumer confidence is your business, and it’s everybody’s business.”

Elsie Friesen, food safety specialist with B.C. Agriculture, advised producers to wash eggs shortly after they are collected and to use clean containers when collecting them. This will keep their quality longer when refrigerated.

She recommended using cardboard egg cartons only once to limit contamination.

“Cardboard isolates each egg and isolates each egg from absorbing odours,” she said.

“Do not reuse containers.”

Eggs must be graded when sold beyond the farmgate and should ideally be sold within days of collection or within three weeks at the most, she said.

“Best before dates (on store cartons) are based on quality, but it’s not a food safety issue,” said Friesen.

Botkin said that Vancouver Island has an abundance of specialty markets and small flocks with numerous broiler and egg operations and specialty turkeys. Eighty percent of British Columbia’s poultry industry is centred in the Fraser Valley, with the rest split between Vancouver Island and the mainland.

The avian influenza has not affected island birds, but the risk is there as long as migrating waterfowl remain, he said. Poultry can pick up the virus from contact with infected waterfowl or poultry, dirt, cages, water and feed. “(Producers) need to stay educated, stay on their toes, mitigate the biosecurity risk as best as they can,” said Botkin, who raises show chickens.

“AI is as big a threat to small flocks as commercial ones.”

About 250,000 birds, mainly in commercial flocks, have tested positive for the disease and been destroyed since the outbreak in the Fraser Valley Dec. 1.

4-H Canada has teamed up with 4-H Ghana to launch a community service learning and leadership program.

Ten 4-H members from Canada will travel to Ghana in summer 2016 for the Going Global Service Learning

pilot program.

There, they will work on school and community projects with local staff and youth and share knowledge and skills about sustainable agriculture and food security.

personal skills.

Canada’s 26,000 members are part of a 4-H network comprising seven million worldwide. Canadian members will have the opportunity to experience a different culture, be challenged to consider their work and its impact and develop a better understanding of community and global responsibilities.

Choquette, a 4-H Canada Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) member, learned more about the new program during a 4-H Leadership Summit in Ottawa in February.

It’s a dream come true for us as youth to go and share 4-H with those across the world.

“It’s a dream come true for us as youth to go and share 4-H with those across the world,” he said.

“We’ll get a different perspective on how they interpret head, heart, hands and health.”

4-Hers between 18 and 25 have until November to apply for the program at apply.4-h-canada.ca.

The summit also focused on helping leaders incorporate science and technology into 4-H projects, shared novel programs such as Ontario 4-H’s Beef and Dairy Sense that collaborates with industry and showed how to conduct simple science experiments.

Kendra Elliott, a YAC member from Manitoba, talked about constructing DNA with licorice and marshmallows or having children paint their shoes and walk around to show how disease spreads.

“Bring it down to a level that’s fun and that kids can understand,” she said.

Elliott said science and technology is already a major part of 4-H, citing herd improvements that are made through genetics, nutrition and breeding in cattle projects.

“You’re already teaching it and just need to tease it out,” she said.

“Science should be fun for kids, and everybody can teach it and don’t need to be scared of it.”

Elliott noted the learning extends to leaders, who can use the information in their own operations. karen.morrison@producer.com

Q:

Q:

I have had two separate episodes of broken bones in the last year. I am a post-menopausal woman in my 50s. I am quite fit, not overweight and exercise regularly.

Do you think this is just bad luck or is there something I am missing? I want to try to prevent any more fractures.

My husband and I separated three months ago. We have two children, ages five and seven. My husband wants to have joint custody for the children with equal time between our two houses, one week with him and one week with me.

I am not sure that all of that back and forth is good for the kids but I

Your family has all kinds of options. The truth is that children from the many divorced homes have adjusted to a whole variety of custodial agreements.

Many struggled with the initial shock of finding out that Mom and Dad were separating but the bulk of them adjusted to their new family situation.

Some of the arrangements parents made for their children might have been awkward, moving the kids around from house to house, or even from community to community, but when Mom and Dad buy into their

arrangements, they work.

The problem for most kids is not the custody agreement but the degree of animosity between parents. If they make their mutual antagonism an issue, the likelihood of the kids successfully adjusting to the divorce might be difficult.

Marital separation is bathed in hurt and anger. They are powerful feelings and if they hang around too long, they may spill over to the children’s well-being.

Children can get so concerned about what is happening to Mom and Dad that they are unable to look after themselves, make friends or keep up with their school work.

Their developmental tasks are frustrated, leaving them with their own

hurt and disappointments.

You and your husband need to come to term with your feeling about your separation without involving your children in the emotional aftermath.

Spend time talking to a counsellor, keep in touch with your good friends, try to enjoy your time at work and make your home a place of love and devotion.

The two of you then might be able to endorse a custody agreement that will serve the best interests of the children while respecting their relationships with each of you.

Jacklin Andrews is a family counsellor from Saskatchewan. Contact: jandrews@ producer.com.

A:

Some people do have a higher chance of sustaining fractures than others. Age is only one of many reasons.

Thinning of the bones or osteoporosis is often under-diagnosed. People in their 50s may not be routinely o f f e re d b o n e d e n s i t y s t u d i e s, although having had two fractures in a year, I am sure your doctor would agree to this procedure. It is painless and similar to an X-ray or ultrasound.

Lack of the female hormone estrogen is one of the biggest risk factors.

You may wish to consider hormone replacement therapy, even if you do not have a problem with hot flashes.

Petite women of Asian origin who have small bones may have a higher risk of fractures. Cigarette smoking and high alcohol consumption also add risk.

You may also be deficient in vitamin D and/or calcium. Some people have a problem with their stomach and intestines absorbing vitamin D, so large doses of supplements may be required.

Some prescribed medications, like steroids used to treat allergies and auto-immune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, may also cause fractures.

Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago looked at the number of fractures among people who had eczema. They sent these patients a questionnaire asking about their diagnoses of eczema, osteoporosis and fractures of the hip, spine, wrist or other bones. Those who replied were also given bone density tests.

They found a significant relationship between the skin disease, low bone density readings and the fractures.

Researchers speculated that there were other factors at play besides taking steroids, perhaps a chronic inflammatory process because many of the participants were not taking oral or injectable steroids.

Steroids applied to the skin as creams and ointments have not been found to decrease bone mineral density. Researchers also felt that people with eczema tend to be more sedentary and exercise less because sweating can worsen the itch.

It is well known that weight-bearing exercise helps keep bones strong.

Disturbed and poor sleep from the severe itch may also lead to an added risk of falling and subsequent injuries.

Prescribed bisphosphonate medications such as Alendronate or Fosemax may be needed if you have borderline or actual osteoporosis.

FEDERAL POLITICS

Plant breeders’ rights changes now law Bill C-18 gets royal assent, bringing Canada in line with UPOV 91 standards SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A federal bill that will overhaul plant breeders’ rights in Canada has received royal assent.

Notice was given Feb. 25 that the governor general had signed off on Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act. Key to the new legislation is Canada’s Plant Breeders’ Rights Act, which brings the country’s regulations in line with UPOV 91 standards, provides private and publicly funded plant breeders greater protection over new seed varieties and possibly paves the way for end-point royalties on seed sales.

The bill moved through the House of Commons in late November after

being announced in December 2013.

It has since been the subject of five Senate agriculture committee meetings.

It received its third reading in the Senate Feb. 24.

The legislation has received widespread support from most farm groups, which say it will spur new investment in variety development.

However, the National Farmers Union condemned it as a “corporate agribusiness promotion act” and raised concern about farm-saved seed and farmers’ privilege.

The bill doesn’t create end-point royalties, in which payments are made to seed developers upon sale, but it does allow for the government to introduce them in the future with-

out further public debate.

Bill C-18 will also simplify applications to the Advance Payments Program and broaden the scope of eligible farms.

The large omnibus bill also changes other agriculture-related acts, including: • Feeds Act • Fertilizers Act • Seeds Act • Health of Animals Act • Plant Protection Act • Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Act • Agricultural Marketing Programs Act • Farm Debt Mediation Act

DECOMMISSIONING WELLS

Group aims to identify, secure funding to close abandoned wells

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Watershed officials in Saskatchewan want to put more than a lid on abandoned wells.

South Saskatchewan River Watershed Stewards has launched an initiative that targets landowners in the rural municipalities of Kindersley, Chesterfield and Snipe Lake.

The organization is co-ordinating an effort to identify wells in the region, help landowners access funding to cover the costs of decommissioning them and bring a contractor to the region to do the work.

“That’s part of the stumbling block sometimes. Producers don’t have the equipment to do it themselves or just feel more comfortable having a professional do it,” said Leah Tallis, a best management practices technician with the group.

“It’s hard to get a contractor to come in and do one well.”

Twenty wells have been identified, but officials are looking for more for a springtime project.

“If we can set it up where we can line up who is getting it done and help the contractors come out and do it, then really the farmer doesn’t necessarily have to be there,” she said.

“He can be in the fields at that point.”

Tallis works with producers who apply for funding to bring best management practices to their farms.

In this case, landowners and municipalities can receive a rebate of 90 percent of the project’s cost through the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program, said Tallis.

They can be reimbursed for the expenses they pay upfront once the

project is approved. Total cost for the project can vary from $600 to a few thousand dollars.

Abandoned wells, which are often unmarked, are a safety concern as well as a potential threat to water quality from surface runoff.

“Potentially there could be some type of a contaminant going down directly into that source, which then can spread who knows where,” said Tallis.

“Say there is some type of contaminant that got into a well and went down into an aquifer. You could be potentially contaminating or poisoning your neighbour’s wells as well.”

Large diameter bored wells can be decommissioned without the help of a contractor, provided the right materials are used. The wells must be disinfected with chlorine and sealed at the top and bottom with bentonite chips or pellets with sand or gravel in between.

Small diameter, drilled wells are more complicated and require a contractor.

There are thousands of unregistered wells in the province, said Jeremy Brown of the province’s Water Security Agency.

“Often they’re just trying to address the safety risk only. They’re just filling in the well with whatever they have, which is most commonly rock, because it’s the easiest thing,” said Brown.

“But that doesn’t prevent water from flowing down, which is the contamination risk.” dan.yates@producer.com

Produce exporters seek protection Industry vulnerable when payments fail in U.S.

The Canadian produce industry wants government to provide greater payment protection for fresh fruit and vegetable sales.

The call comes after Canada lost preferential access to the U.S. Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, which affects the way Canadian exporters pursue unpaid bills in the

Dave Jeffries and his sons, Roland and Ernie, know a thing or two about farming. So, when it was time to expand the business, they naturally chose a bank that knew how to help. At TD, they found Agriculture Specialist Vince Puchailo, who helped implement a succession plan that involved Dave’s brother. Vince’s understanding of the complex process even impressed the lawyers handling the sale. A personalized approach to agriculture finance, like Vince’s, is something all TD Agriculture Specialists bring. Maybe it’s time you brought one to your farm.

United States.

As well, privileges were lost because of unharmonized bankruptcy rules.

The American legislation gives priority to suppliers of perishable products over other creditors.

Canadian regulations offer less protection, but Canadian produce companies selling into the U.S. had previously received the same protections as their American counterparts.

“If I sold to the U.S., all I had to do was post a $100 admin fee if someone was not paying their bills on time … and a claim could be started to try and recover what was owed,” Ron Lemaire of the Canadian Produce Marketing Association told the Senate’s agriculture committee Feb. 19.

“What we did not have was the bankruptcy piece. The U.S. introduced it under PACA. Canada does not have that in a similar model. For years, we’ve tried to find a solution.”

The new rules require Canadian companies recovering unpaid bills in the U.S. to post a bond double the cost of their claim. The produce marketing association said that could require a company to take $100,000 out of its cash flow for as much as a year over a $50,000 dispute.

“This will have significant consequences for the fresh produce industry in Canada, and unpaid bills will increase for Canadian companies exporting to the U.S.,” said Lemaire.

The extra costs are too great for small operations, he added.

“In the past, just the threat of action under PACA was enough to settle most disputes and ensure bills were paid.”

Industry officials say Canada’s preferential access could be restored with new regulations. The produce marketing association and other organizations, including the Canadian Horticultural Council, are supporting the creation of a “deemed trust” similar to the U.S. model.

The issue was raised in the House of Commons in November, and the government said it was consulting on bankruptcy and insolvency laws.

“The Canadian industry is requesting the creation of a limited statutory deemed trust that provides financial protection for produce sellers in Canada in the event of bankruptcies,” Lemaire told senators. dan.yates@producer.com

DEEMED TRUST Earlier this year, the Ontario Produce Marketing Association provided a summary of an industry proposal for a deemed trust. The notice, published online, highlighted three points: • Sellers maintain an ownership interest in their products until paid. A deemed trust is established at the time of sale.

• The deemed trust comprises the product, plus any cash or accounts receivable stemming from the sale of that product.

• The funds contained in the trust are applied to unpaid produce sellers where the buyer is insolvent or bankrupt.

Ottawa’s plan to amend the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act revealed a rare consensus among prairie farm leaders: don’t mess with farmers’ right to save and plant their own seed.

Conservative MP Gerry Ritz wasn’t impressed by government plans to cut $180 million from agriculture spending over the next five years.

“This looks like a systematic pulling back from supporting agriculture in many ways, just at a time when the industry needs all the support in can get,” he said.

50 YEARS AGO: MARCH 4, 1965 Federal trade minister Mitchell Sharp said it would be a bad idea for the government to subsidize wheat exports. Such a move, he added, would weaken the position of the Canadian Wheat Board and reduce the incentive to sell as much wheat as possible at the best possible price.

Four new grain varieties were released to seed growers for increase: Manitou (wheat), Conquest (barley), Harmon (oats) and Noralta (flax).

A CCF MLA in Saskatchewan called Montana a fascist state. The governor shrugged off the comment, saying Harry Link “perhaps became caught up in his own oratory.”

Farmers must take lead on sustainability education There is nothing more sustainable than a seventh generation (American) farmer. They aren’t going to leave a mess for their kids.

JIM BLOME, BAYER CROP SCIENCE

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Jim Blome, president of Bayer Crop Science, says there is a disconnect between food producers and consumers, and farmers need to do more to dispel misinformation. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Farmers and industry must take up the work of convincing the general public about the safety and sustainability of food production.

“There is nothing more sustainable than a seventh generation (American) farmer,” said Jim Blome, president of Bayer Crop Science.

“They aren’t going to leave a mess for their kids.”

He said there are misconceptions about what is happening in agriculture and larger scale agriculture is thought of as abusive to land and animals.

“We believe that connection is the key,” he told the Ag Issues Forum, which Bayer sponsors.

“Farmers are the villains in climate change and obesity,” he said.

“The same people who want the latest iPhone would have their food produced with a team of mules.”

Blome said it is up to farmers to engage with consumers, food writers and government.

Frank Sensno of George Washington University, who is a former CNN Washington bureau anchor, said he is witnessing a trend toward public acceptance of misinformation about food, which he feels is because of the disconnection between farmers and consumers.

“People are getting further and further from the farm,” he said.

Blome said the average U.S. farmer feeds 155 people, compared to 26 in 1965.

That is a reflection of the positive changes in food production efficiency, he added, but has also added to the disconnection between food producer and consumer.

“The public has lost touch with their food and the reality of where it comes from,” he said.

“There is a need for information out there.”

He said farmers should be finding time to speak to speak in schools and at local pubic meetings, wherever they can reach a few neighbours.

He also believes in agvocacy, the term being used for advocating for agriculture.

“Everything is registered, the science is real and the science is renewed,” he said.

“We don’t leave things in the marketplace when better (pesticides) come along.”

Mae Carol Jemison, a former astronaut and spokesperson for Bayer’s Making Science Make Sense programming in the United States, said people, including students, need to hear from those who participate in food production.

“We need to reach students directly,” she said.

“It needs to be hands on.”

“The Asset Stem science, technology, engineering and math program in Pennsylvania provided students with a kit from the National Science Foundation and teachers were taught to use them and they could build on that and it was scalable. That worked,” she said.

Farmers need to take part in the process, she added. michael.raine@producer.com

BSE CASE

Ritz confident Alberta BSE case won’t affect trade with major players Some Asian countries have closed their borders but the impact will be small, he says

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

OTTAWA — Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz says he expects Canada’s beef customers to recognize the country’s BSE controlled risk status and keep trade flowing.

That said, South Korea, Peru, Taiwan, Belarus and Indonesia have stopped importing beef products and require convincing to reopen their borders.

Ritz told reporters Feb. 24 that South Korea had asked for more information about the BSE case that was confirmed in Alberta earlier this month, and he met with the ambassador. He wouldn’t say what the South Koreans wanted to know, but did say it’s within their right to close the border, even under the free trade agreement that took effect Jan. 1.

“What they’ve done was expected because it was a sub-agreement to the FTA that should they see something like this, they could actually step back,” Ritz said.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 5, 2015

Every market is valuable. We fight hard to get them and fight hard to keep them. We’ll keep addressing their concerns.

GERRY RITZ FEDERAL AGRICULTURE MINISTER

“We would see the same thing on other issues. We’ve addressed the questions they’ve put forward. Of course it fell right into their lunar year celebrations, where nobody’s at work.”

He said he hoped officials would make the issue a priority once they returned to work.

No other countries had submitted questionnaires or indicated they would close their borders, Ritz added.

Asia is a small market for Canadian beef but the government and producers would like to see it grow.

“From a dollar perspective it’s small, but the potential is huge, so we

take it very seriously,” Ritz said.

South Korea bought $25 million worth of Canadian beef last year, while Taiwan spent $12 million.

“The five countries, now that (they) have withdrawn, their total is some 2.2 percent of our overall beef market,” Ritz said. “Every market is valuable. We fight hard to get them and fight hard to keep them. We’ll keep addressing their concerns.”

Meanwhile, Ritz told the Canadian Federation of Agriculture convention that Canada continues to press the United States to fix its country-oforigin labelling law. He said it costs Canadian livestock industries more than $1 billion a year and twice that much on the American side.

The CFA meeting passed a resolution that if Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs in response to COOL, an amount equivalent to the money raised by the tariffs be invested in livestock research and market development. karen.briere@producer.com

Truck drought made rail chaos worse Delays caused order cancellations for small Canadian grain exporters in 2013-14

Fababean demand sends acres up

BY ED WHITE

BY ED WHITE

WINNIPEG BUREAU

WINNIPEG BUREAU

The 2013-14 bumper crop also created the 2013-14 grain truck drought, the Grain World conference heard Feb. 25.

It made the epic logistical problems of last year even worse, said Dulcie Price, president of Optimum Agra Services.

“Manitoba generally had an awesome corn crop,” she told a panel discussion about how small grain shippers survived the rail crisis.

“It took care of all the needs of all of the Manitoba feeders, so the trucks that would come up from the States, from North Dakota, weren’t coming up.”

Trucking was a key alternative to plugged grain elevators for many farmers, allowing them to move crop to pay bills.

However, they were faced with enormous difficulties finding trucks, and rates went sky high.

A truck hauling U.S. corn to a Manitoba hog barn typically picks up a Manitoba crop such as soybeans or oats for the backhaul because there is demand for those crops in the United States. It makes the two-way price for trucking reasonable in many cases.

However, few American trucks came north in 2013-14, and farmers or grain companies that wanted to haul south had to pay exorbitant one-way rates, which escalated as demand spiraled higher.

Ryan McKnight of Linear Grain was one of the exporters who had to book those expensive trucks. His company’s two elevators in southern Manitoba and northeastern Saskatchewan had big sales commitments to U.S. buyers of oats and other commodities.

It seemed like a good business

Fababeans aren’t a flash-in-thepan crop, says a senior marketer with a global firm.

They don’t just grow well on the Prairies but also have real broadbased demand, said Heidi Dutton, manager of commodity operations for Toepfer International’s western grain and processing division.

Toeper is owned by Archer Daniels Midland.

“They definitely have a future,” she said in an interview during Grain World. “They’re a crop to watch.”

Fababeans have become popular with farmers on the western Prairies because of problems with root rot in peas. Fababeans have good resistance to root rot, so farmers can switch from one to the other and lessen the problem.

“They’re a great replacement for peas in a situation where we’ve got root rot,” said Dutton.

Some special crops grow well but have weak or limited demand. That has occurred with maple peas, which have fewer uses, Dutton said.

“There’s only a few uses for them, and once those pipelines are full, there’s not a lot of other places to go with,” Dutton said in her Feb. 25 presentation. “We need to see the acres come down a bit.”

Farmers probably grew 80,000 acres of maple peas last year, but 50,000 is probably a better acreage for Western Canada to produce, she said.

It’s why her company isn’t publishing a price for maple peas yet, she said. Prices aren’t likely to be attractive while supplies are more than ample, she added.

However, fababeans have a better demand base, and boosting production to 100,000 acres this year won’t challenge demand.

“Both on the feed and food side, there’s tons of opportunities.”

The crop has 33 percent protein, which means the seed does well as a standalone product and can be broken out into its component parts with fractionation.

Dulcie Price, president of Optimum Agra, who moderated a panel at Grain World, said a truck drought made the 2013-14 logistics problem worse for small shippers. | ED WHITE PHOTO arrangement when rail cars seemed plentiful in the summer and September, but McKnight’s company was badly exposed on both purchase and sales contracts when the crisis hit.

“We ended up being up to three months late taking oat contracts in northeastern Saskatchewan, and we were late delivering our contracts to end use customers,” he said.

One buyer backed out of a delivery contract on oats that were already in rail cars, while another demanded that Linear quickly deliver on a commitment or pay the difference on the price of imported Scandinavian oats, even though there were no rail cars to deliver the Canadian oats.

trucking providers to haul the oats to where they needed to go, but the cost was massive.

McKnight said Linear probably lost $50 a tonne between what it had assumed transportation costs would be when the contract was signed and what it actually cost to deliver the crop to the buyer.

And that was only for his elevator in Carman, Man. The one at Arborfield, Sask., was essentially cut off.

“Had we had to do that in Saskatchewan, I estimated it would have cost us $120 a tonne,” said McKnight.

Another option was to use “farmer freight,” in which a farmer would haul his own grain to a buyer in his own truck. It was OK for short hauls, but long hauls with restricted U.S. truck sizes were devastating.

One Saskatchewan farmer spent five days delivering two 1,500 bushel loads to a Minneapolis oat buyer.

“It’s really not something in my

opinion that’s going to work,” said McKnight.

Allan Johnston of Johnston’s Grain in Welwyn, Sask., said his company faced enormous problems when producer cars that his company had arranged with growers and buyers failed to show up for months.

“The cars didn’t come,” he said.

When his company could deliver grain to the U.S. by either rail or truck, it found that American buyers were suddenly picky about all sorts of specifications that hadn’t previously been a factor.

McKnight said his company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on increased shipping costs and lost sales, but its longstanding trucking focus eventually allowed it to move a lot of grain when the crisis lessened and made the year “one of our most successful years on record.”

More canola goes straight to combine

Australia to introduce COOL labelling

Interest in new canola variety with reduced pod shattering is high across the Prairies

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Straight combining canola is gaining momentum.

InVigor L140P, which Bayer Crop Science introduced last year, is a canola hybrid with pod shatter tolerance.

Paul Chevalier, territory sales manager for Bayer in southern Manitoba, said grower interest in the variety is exceptional.

“Most of the questions I get are around this new variety … because this is a new practice and something new to growers,” he said.

A Bayer survey found that 80 farmers in southern Manitoba planted 17,600 acres of L140P last year, which represented one-third of L140P acreage in the region last. Most growers exper imented w ith the hybr id because the on-farm average was 230 acres.

Chevalier said southern Manitoba growers aren’t holding back this year.

“We expect acres to double, based on that survey from last year,” he said at a young farmers conference in Brandon.

“What I’m seeing in my territory is

more than double.”

George Shelswell, Bayer’s marketing director of oilseeds, said grower interest is also strong in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“The research that Paul shared at the farm conference in Brandon only focused on Manitoba, but we anticipate similar demand across Saskatchewan and Alberta,” he said.

“We will have sufficient quantities to meet the demand for the 2015 season,” he said.

Many canola growers have been reluctant to switch from swathing to straight combining canola over fears of pod shatter, pod drop and lost yield, but Saskatchewan research suggests straight cutting and swathing produce similar yields.

“Even when we look at less than ideal harvest timing, the losses are not much greater than those experienced with swathed crop,” said Chris Holzapfel of the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation, which has conducted more than five seasons of straight cutting canola research.

Chevalier said the labour- and time-savings of straight cutting has convinced growers to switch.

“We’re definitely seeing guys who haven’t straight cut in the past starting to adopt it now, trying small acres on the farm,” he said.

Growers have many questions about combine headers, he added.

“We’d like to get more information on the header types. That is one of the big questions that we get … what are guys having success with.”

The other common question is about future InVigor hybrids: will all of the new varieties come with the pod shatter tolerance trait?

Chevalier said it’s unlikely because some producers prefer to swath canola.

“As we’re releasing new varieties, we’re going to have (hybrids) with the pod shatter technology and traits without,” he said.

“There’s a price premium, and for the growers who have no interest in straight cutting … we’re still going to have other varieties to offer them comparable to the (pod shatter) varieties on the market.”

L140P costs $8.10 more per acre than InVigor L252, based on a seeding rate of five pounds per acre.

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australian prime minister Tony Abbott has backed plans to introduce country-of-origin labelling in the wake of a hepatitis A outbreak, which potentially risks contravening World Trade Organization rules.

Eighteen confirmed cases of hepatitis A have been linked to the consumption of berries sold by Patties Foods Ltd. Abbott said he had asked members of his cabinet to draft legislation by the end of March to provide greater transparency to consumers.

It marked a reversal of his previous position that such legislation would

raise the cost of food.

Australia was among plaintiffs against the United States after it introduced its stronger COOL laws for beef products last year.

The WTO ruled against the U.S. in October, arguing that COOL provided an incentive to favour domestic livestock.

Gerard McManus, a spokesperson for Australia’s agricultural minister, said Abbott had told the minister to ensure the proposed legislation did not fall foul of WTO legislation.

The hepatitis A outbreak has been linked to poor water supplies in a Chinese packaging plant.

EU TRADE DEAL

Cheese makers seek help to reduce EU impact Dairy farmers want programs to help them remain competitive when borders open to 17,000 additional tonnes of cheese

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian dairy sector will be compensated for an increase in European cheese imports, says an official with the Dairy Farmers of Canada.

However, details remain on the horizon.

Calls for compensation began after a free trade agreement with the European Union was announced in 2013.

When fully implemented, the Canada-European Union Comprehen-

sive Economic and Trade Agreement will provide greater access for Canadian exports entering the EU, including beef, pork and bison.

The arrangement also allows for more than 17,000 new tonnes of EU cheese to enter the Canadian market.

Including the EU’s existing quota, the trade deal could allow the EU access to 7.5 percent of the Canadian cheese market and a greater chunk of the “fine cheese” market.

Dairy Farmers of Canada and agriculture ministers in Ontario and Quebec have called for compensa-

tion for the lost quota.

Opposition party members have pushed the issue and the Conservative government has publicly committed to the idea, but nothing official has been announced.

“We expect that something will come down the road,” said Yves Leduc, director of international trade with the dairy group.

A House of Commons agriculture committee report on the EU-Canada deal released last year said Canadian cheese consumption is growing by as much as 8,000 tonnes per year and

will have grown by more than 17,700 tonnes by the time the deal is implemented, which could take another two years.

“What we’re losing essentially is a market equivalent to the 17,000 tonnes of cheese that will be imported at some point in time once the agreement has been fully implemented,” said Leduc.

“Let’s not think that because we operate under supply management that growth is not important to us.”

He said farmers aren’t seeking monetary compensation but rather

programs that will help cheese makers and increase competitiveness.

He also raised concern about how new imports would be administered and whether they would be delivered in a “stable manner.”

“This needs to be done in a manner that will limit the distortion of the Canadian cheese market,” he said.

“So that it’s not all imported at Christmas, for example, because that would have a tremendous negative impact.” dan.yates@producer.com

The Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association may have a long and triumphant existence if its first general meeting is an indicator of things to come.

More than 200 farmers and interested parties packed into a hotel conference room in Winnipeg to attend the Feb. 18 meeting.

Hotel staff had to take down a temporary wall to accommodate the rush of people streaming into the room.

“It’s pretty impressive that at our first AGM we’re already bringing down walls,” said Fred Greig, a farmer from Reston, Man., and vice-chair of the association’s interim board.

Manitoba producers took longer to organize wheat and barley associations than did their Alberta and Saskatchewan counterparts in the aftermath of the federal government’s decision to end CWB’s single desk monopoly in 2011.

Alberta and Saskatchewan farmers assembled wheat and barley commissions in 2012 and 2013, which support research and market development for the cereal crops.

Manitoba producers decided to combine the two crops into one entity partly because they wanted to make the association more efficient and increase co-operation between commodity groups.

The association instituted a 52 cent per tonne checkoff for wheat and a 50 cent checkoff for barley last year. Less than three percent of Manitoba growers requested a levy refund in the first year.

Members elected three new directors out of five candidates at the meeting: Dean Harder of Lowe Farm, Robert Misko of Roblin and Drew Baker of Beausejour. robert.arnason@producer.com

WEED CONTROL RESEARCH

Ontario growers see soil applied herbicide application pay off

BY ROBERT ARNASON

COST OF HERBICIDE APPLICATION DELAY

BRANDON BUREAU

Based on a farm with 1,000 acres of soybeans at a price of $10 per bushel.

More Ontario producers are choosing to control weeds in Roundup Ready crops by applying a pre-emergent residual herbicide and following up with glyphosate post emergence.

“I think there’s a huge trend, in Ontario, to two-pass weed control.

What I mean by that is putting down a soil applied residual followed by glyphosate, post (emergence),” said Peter Sikkema, a University of Guelph weed scientist who spoke at the recent Crop Connect conference in Winnipeg.

“The adoption in soybeans is less (than corn), but I would have to think that 25 to 50 percent of Ontario soybean acreage is now treated with a soil applied residual herbicide….

Every single herbicide manufacturer in Ontario is recommending that Ontario farmers use a residual herbicide.”

The arrival of glyphosate resistant weeds in Ontario over the last five years likely convinced a few growers to alter their herbicide practices.

However, many producers still have doubts about the merits of soilapplied herbicides.

“The question I get from farmers — is there an economic return to using a residual herbicide?” Sikkema said.

To answer that question, he and his colleagues evaluated four weed control scenarios at soybean plots in Ontario: • They sprayed with glyphosate early post emergence.

• Sprayed glyphosate late post emergence.

• Sprayed two applications of glyphosate.

• Applied a pre-residual herbicide and cleaned up with glyphosate post emergence.

Sikkema concluded that options three and four provided nearly 100 percent weed control, but the soilapplied scenario did reduce the economic return per acre.

The difference was around $18 per acre, assuming farmers used the cheapest available residual herbicides. “(But) that’s not statistically significant,” Sikkema said. “So you can make as much money by putting down a pre-residual and cleaning up with glyphosate than putting on two applications of glyphosate.”

It may be slightly more expensive, but soil applied herbicides do provide other benefits.

Sikkema said the timing of the first glyphosate application is critical for soybeans. Yield losses can add up quickly if adverse weather or lack of labour delays spraying.

“If you’re going to make a mistake in terms of Roundup application timing, always make the mistake of spraying too early,” he said.

“If you forget everything else from my presentation today, always remember small weeds are easier to kill than large weeds. And … most of the time, late emerging weeds do not reduce crop yield.”

To illustrate the financial losses associated with early emerging weeds, Sikkema presented a delay scenario. “(If ) it rains on Sunday night and can’t get into spray until Thursday morning … you (could) lose $30,000,” Sikkema said.

Application delay 1 day 3 7

Yield loss (bu/acre) 1 3 7

Value ($/acre) $10 $30 $70

Farm loss ($/year) $10,000 $30,000 $70,000

Source: University of Guelph

Growers who use a soil applied herbicide don’t have to worry about rain and glyphosate timing because the pre-emergent product controls early season weeds, Sikkema said.

“You want to start clean and stay clean through the critical period of weed control.”

Dennis Lange, a Manitoba Agricul-

ture crop production adviser in Altona and soybean expert, said early season weed control is critical in soybeans.

“The product (glyphosate) is registered for the first trifoliate … but it’s also important to scout your fields ahead of time. If your (weed) populations are there, you may need to go ahead of that first trifoliate,” he said.

Sikkema said many soybean growers wonder if it necessary to control later emerging weeds?

In nearly all cases, late season weeds do not cut into soybean yields.

“If you keep your soybeans weed free until the first trifoliate, any weeds that come in after that, our data would say you only lose one bu. per acre,” he said.

“It’s the same if you keep (it) weed free until the second trifoliate…. If weeds come in after that they have almost no impact on yield at all.”

Rob Gulden, a University of Manitoba weed scientist, said spraying for volunteer canola in soybeans isn’t worth the trouble.

Sikkema said the most significant

argument for soil applied herbicides is preventing Roundup resistant weeds. If farmers kill 95 percent of the weed population with a non-glyphosate herbicide, it reduces the probability of Roundup resistant weeds on that field by 95 percent.

“If you rely exclusively on glyphosate, you’re increasing potential for selecting for the glyphosate resistant biotype,” he said.

“If you are driven totally by shortterm economics, I think your most cost effective way (to control weeds) … is a glyphosate-only program….

But if you choose to do that, you are choosing to live dangerously.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Forage incentive program aims to expand waterfowl habitat

CCA rodeo finals pull out of Agribition

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A new program will pay for half the cost of forage seed in an effort to encourage producers to seed land to hay or pasture to attract waterfowl.

The forage incentive program from Ducks Unlimited Canada and Crop Production Services will pay for up to $100 per 50 pound bag of Proven Seed forage varieties to encourage producers to seed part of their fields to forage.

In exchange, growers commit to keeping the land in perennial cover for 10 years and agree not to drain the wetlands.

“The linkage between forage crops,

such as alfalfa and other perennial grasses, and waterfowl productivity is well documented, but often land use decisions can be influenced by commodity prices,” Craig Bishop, Ducks Unlimited’s forage program lead, said in a news release.

“For growers wanting to convert cultivated land to hay or pasture land, DUC’s forage incentive program eases the economic barriers associated with transitioning cultivated land to perennial cover while also improving nesting habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife.”

The rodeo will perform its last show in Regina this fall before moving to Swift Current

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The show will go on at Canadian Western Agribition, but the cowboys at centre stage will be different.

The Canadian Cowboys Association announced recently that it will be moving its rodeo finals to Swift Current, Sask., in 2016, ending an 11-year run at the Regina livestock show.

This year’s competition is still set for Regina, where it’ll be “business as usual,” said Agribition chief executive officer Marty Seymour.

“We never know what the future looks like. The CCA is a big part of Saskatchewan culture and they might be back involved at Agribition,” he said.

“I think both groups have done an honourable job of allowing the transition to go smoothly.”

In a media release, the City of Swift Current said it will work with the CCA, the Swift Current Broncos junior hockey team and the Swift Current Agriculture & Exhibition Association to produce the event.

“We’ve already discussed some of it. Nothing has been nailed down, because we haven’t had enough meetings yet, but ideally we want our prize money to grow annually and it didn’t seem to be doing that,” said Kevin Larson, vice-president of the Canadian Cowboys Association.

Larson said the semi-professional organization hopes to attract stronger competitors to its 40 seasonal rodeos that lead up to the finals.

“Ideally, the more money you have, the better the participants you get,” he said. “… If you can get the better competitors to go to those 40 rodeos to qualify for your finals, it’s going to make your association stronger.”

Seymour said Agribition will look for a new rodeo partner for the show in 2016.

“Since the (CCA) gave us notice, we’ve had a lot of people contact us looking to come into that space and try to produce a high quality rodeo,” he said. “To be honest with you, this is all very new information to us and we’re going to spend probably this spring and then summer just planning what the future looks like.”

The CCA finals were previously held in Saskatoon and Lloydminster before finding a home in Regina. This year’s Agribition is set for Nov. 23-28.

Larson said the 2016 contest in Swift Current could be moved up to the end of October.

“It probably works better in Swift Current because our season is over around the middle of October,” he said. “If you’re going into your finals when all of your competitors have been practising and are sharp, they’re going to be better …” dan.yates@producer.com

DISEASE RESEARCH

METRITIS BACTERIA

Cattle producers welcome news of metritis vaccine The vaccine is still in early trials and won’t be available for at least two years

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

LINDELL BEACH, B.C. —American scientists have developed a vaccine for metritis, a uterine infection that affects cows after giving birth.

The vaccine, which has been in development for six years, promises to prevent the infection from taking hold and reduce symptoms when it does.

It promises to reduce serious illness in cows, reduce major costs faced by farmer, and help deflect the problem of antibiotic resistance.

“We’re very excited about the results,” said Rodrigo Bicalho, assistant professor of dairy production medicine at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

“It’s very promising. Our next step is to simplify the vaccine, identify which components are the most important, and try to replicate the results using more dairy farms and more cows in more trials. Then the next steps will involve moving in the direction of making a product available for producers.”

Bicalho said researchers adminis-

tered the vaccine 60 days before parturition and then re-vaccinated the cows 30 days later. Metritis occurs after birth, so the vaccine is targeted at those time frames before birth for it to take effect.

“There has been a lot of response from local farmers,” said Bicalho.

“Farmers are all asking about it and want more information. They are very curious about it as metritis is an ever present problem. They know how much it affects the cows and how much it costs. It’s a really big deal for dairy farmers, for sure.”

Three of the vaccines that Bicalho’s lab developed lowered metritis incidence and lessened symptoms.

The procedure showed great promise when caring for infected cows

THREE VACCINES GIVEN SUBCUTANEOUSLY SHOWED A REDUCTION IN METRITIS RISK OF

83 %

without having to give them antibiotics.

“We created multivalent vaccines, complex cocktails with several components we’ve identified as important to causing metritis,” he said.

Bicalho and his team tested five combinations of vaccines. Three of them were given subcutaneously and two were delivered intravaginally.

The three given subcutaneously were shown to be extremely effective and reduced the possibility of disease by 83 percent.

The cows had lower incidence of fever after giving birth and shorter periods of disease and were less affected when it came to reproductive performance compared to those that had not received vaccinations.

Bicalho and his colleagues were surprised by the extent of the vaccine’s effectiveness. He said it clearly offered great promise for the future, not only for herd health but also for cost savings to farmers.

Bicalho expects the vaccine to be available in two to three years.

The research study was published in the online journal PLoS ONE.

• The bacteria that causes metritis enters cows through the open vagina and cervix after calving.

They then invade the uterus, causing fever, pain, inflammation, loss of appetite, depression, reduced milk production and reduced fertility to the extent that pregnancy rates are 4.5 percent lower for cows with metritis than for healthy cows.

• The illness can lead to culling of the affected cows and increased labour and treatment costs.

• Metritis treatment is behind more antibiotic use on dairy farms than any other disease.

• Metritis can affect 30 percent of a dairy herd in Canada and 25 percent of dairy cattle in the United States.

• Early detection and treatment go a long way to mitigating the ravages of the illness. The time leading up to calving is particularly crucial.

In a 2013 case study, University of British Columbia researchers said critical signs of infection were seen in the two week lead-up to calving and for nearly three weeks before the first clinical signs of metritis appeared, including loss of appetite and less time spent at the feed bunk. Cows were 1.72 times more likely to be diagnosed with severe metritis for every 10 minute decrease in feeding time during the week before calving. Cows were nearly three times more likely to be diagnosed with severe metritis for every one kilogram decrease in dry matter intake during this period.

CROP PROTECTION

Sask. crop insurance to treat unseeded acres separately Official says the change will not take anything away from producers but the mandatory unseeded coverage has raised concerns The premium will be charged on all acres that a producer normally seeds, regardless of whether the land is seeded or insured for yield loss.

Crop insurance president Shawn Jaques said the decision to charge a separate premium for unseeded acreage was not intended to generate more revenue for the corporation.

In fact, most customers will see a reduction in overall insurance premiums, he added. The changes are aimed at ensuring a more equitable application of premiums.

“Unseeded acreage is still a function of the program — we’re not tak-

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. is changing the way it protects farmers against unseeded acreage losses.

Producers who buy crop insurance this year will be required to pay a separate premium for unseeded acreage coverage.

Unseeded acreage was previously included in the premiums for regular crop insurance but will now appear as a separate item on farmers’ insurance statements.

ing anything away from producers,” Jaques said.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural producers Association of Saskatchewan, said the decision to separate unseeded acreage premiums is concerning.

“We’re concerned that this could be the edge of a slippery slope,” Hall said. “It’s almost like saying, ‘OK, now you guys are buying flood insurance and this is what it’s going to cost.’ But what’s next? Is frost coverage the next one? Is drought going to have a separate premium as well?”

Under the changes, unseeded cov-

erage will still be a mandatory component of multi-peril insurance coverage.

Producers who buy multi-peril coverage can choose from four levels of unseeded acreage coverage, with the lowest coverage level set at $50 per acre and the highest set at $100.

The average premium for unseeded acreage protection bought at the $50 per acre coverage level is expected to be 54 cents per acre.

In low risk areas, the premium could be as low 19 cents.

The move will eliminate a situation that allowed some producers to

make claims on acres that were uninsured.

When unseeded acreage premiums were included in regular premiums, crop insurance clients could buy multi-peril coverage on a small portion of their total land base and still be eligible to collect unseeded acreage payments on their entire farm.

A payment for unseeded acres could be triggered on acres that were not insured under multi-peril programs.

Under the new system, premiums for unseeded acreage will be applied universally to all acres that are normally seeded by crop insurance clients. Payments will be triggered on all acres that can normally be planted in spring but remain unseeded by June 20.

“We were always collecting the r ight amount of premium, but because (the premium for unseeded acreage) was bundled, there were instances where people may have had a claim even though they didn’t pay a premium on all of those acres,” Jaques said.

Hall acknowledged that total premium costs will decrease for most growers, and he said crop insurance’s coverage levels have improved significantly.

However, the “decoupling of unseeded acreage from the multiperil program represents a major change in crop insurance coverage,” he added.

Crop insurance paid out $78 million on unseeded acreage claims last year. These claims have been around $820 million in Saskatchewan since 2010.

Other crop insurance changes announced Feb. 26 include: • New programming for hemp producers, including $70 per acre establishment coverage.

• Enhanced coverage for oat growers that will see the base grade for insured oat acres increased to No. 2 from No. 3.

Saskatchewan Oat Development Commission chair William Zuchkan said the base grade change is a huge announcement for the province’s oat growers.

“There’s quite a substantial price difference between a No. 3 and a No. 2,” said Zuchkan, a farmer from Foam Lake, Sask. “Changing the base price … gives producers a little more insurance and a little more stability.”

Jaques said the changes in oat coverage reflect the larger proportion of the province’s oat crop that is being sold into higher grades.

The average oat producer will see his oat coverage increase by $20 per acre while paying lower premiums.

“Even with the enhancement, the average premium per acre for oats will go from $7.55 per acre in 2014 to $7.15 per acre in 2015,” Jaques said.

This year’s crop insurance budget is set at $154 million.

On average, coverage levels are increasing to $183 per acre, up from $162 per acre last year. Premiums are dropping to an average of $7.06 per acre from $7.47 last year.

The improved coverage is a result of better forecasted crop prices and higher long-term yields. brian.cross@producer.com

FOOD SAFETY

U.S gov’t report outlines foods most prone to pathogens Three federal agencies examine data from outbreaks of food borne illnesses over 14 years to determine major culprits CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — More than 80 percent of cases of a certain E. coli illness were linked to beef and vegetables grown in rows, says a new U.S. government report.

As well, salmonella infections were traced to a wider variety of food ranging from tomatoes and sprouts to chicken, beef and pork.

The report was produced by the Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration, which is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention.

It is the first time the three federal agencies charged with food safety are using a single method to estimate sources of food-borne illnesses.

Push for single agency The report comes amid calls to for a single food safety agency, as proposed in U.S. president Barack Obama’s 2016 federal budget plan.

The report used data from nearly 1,000 outbreaks between 1998 and 2012 to find food responsible for illness

from four major food-borne bacteria: salmonella, E. coli O157, listeria monocytogenes and campylobacter.

According to CDC estimates, these four pathogens cause 1.9 million cases of food-borne illness in the United States each year.

Researchers broke down the outbreaks into 17 categories of food and found that just two food categories accounted for most illnesses caused by campylobacter, E. coli O157 and Listeria, while seven categories accounted for a similar percentage of salmonella illnesses.

MAIN FOOD BORNE DISEASES AND PERCENTAGES CAUSED BY FOOD GROUP • Campylobacter dairy: 66% chicken: 8% • E. coli O157 beef: 46 vegetables grown in rows: 36 • Listeria fruit: 50 dairy: 31

• Salmonella: vegetables grown from seeds: 18 eggs: 12 fruit: 12 chicken: 10 sprouts: 8 beef: 9 pork: 8

INTERPROVINCIAL TRADE

Que. margarine appeal goes in Sask. favour New market for prairie canola and soybeans

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A recent ruling now allows Saskatchewan oilseed producers and processors to sell their products in Quebec.

After a long battle, an appeal panel has upheld the Saskatchewan’s government’s successful challenge of the Quebec government’s restrictions against the production, sale and marketing of vegetable oil-based dairy products.

Saskatchewan launched the trade in 2014.

The final ruling prevents Quebec from using labelling laws to prohibit the use of “milk”, “butter” and “cheese” for dairy substitute products.

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said in a statement that it was a critical step in ensuring that the province’s products move freely to consumers within Canada.

“We’re delighted with this ruling that creates a nationwide market for a wide range of innovative canola and soybean oil-based alternatives to traditional dairy products,” said Sean McPhee, president of the Vegetable Oil Industry of Canada.

Prairie-grown canola and soybeans can now be used in margarine, coffee whitener and dessert toppings sold in Quebec.

Quebec governments have protected the province’s influential dairy industry from outside competition for decades.

Quebec had appealed the original ruling, but it also made changes to its Food Products Act in December by removing barriers to the production and sale of vegetable-based oil products.

“This is a victory for the internal trade process in Canada, and with this latest ruling, we’re confident Quebec will do the right thing and bring its labelling and marketing rules for dairy substitutes in line with the rest of Canada,” said Jeremy Harrison, the Saskatchewan minister responsible for trade. william.dekay@prodcuer.com

GUN CONTROL

Would relaxing firearm restrictions really threaten safety?

OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

I

was recently piqued by a conversation about self-defence and gun control in the United States.

I have long heard both sides of the debate and doubt such a complex matter will be easily resolved. How-

ever, I was curious about how the issue of gun control versus freedom relates to Canadians.

Statistics Canada has interesting numbers about the subject. I could not find years that match up exactly, but they were close enough that I felt comfortable drawing some conclusions from them. I avoided picking and choosing periods, instead working with what I could readily find.

The period 2008-12 averaged 583 homicides a year and 642 attempted homicides in Canada. With a population of 34 million, it means the average citizen had a .004 percent chance of being a victim to these crimes.

The most common method of homicide during this period was stabbings at 189 per year.

Gun freedom proponents often bring up home invasions. There were 156,357 break and enter crimes in Canada in 2013, although the Statistics Canada website didn’t indicate how many of these crimes were home versus business invasions.

It is impossible to reliably determine the chance of being a victim of a break and enter. A single occurrence of this crime can affect more than one individual.

However, given the ratio of break and enter crimes to our population,

it seems the chance of being a victim in Canada is very low.

As well, 265,063 physically violent crimes were committed in 2013. I am loosely defining “physically violent crimes” as assault, attempted murder, homicide, sexual assault and robbery. It means the average citizen had a .75 percent chance of being the victim of this crime.

Each of us must individually decide whether these percentages are significant enough to reconsider how we maintain our personal security and if firearms fit into that equation.

Looking at these statistics, I personally believe Canadians should feel

reasonably safe when it comes to firearms violence in our country.

We could moderately loosen some laws such as magazine capacity for centrefire rifles, as well as pistol storage and transportation restrictions, without necessarily causing a lot of additional public safety issues.

Reasonable restrictions could remain in place but some careful loosening would go a long way for lawful and socially conscious Canadian firearm owners.

RUSSIAN IMPORT BAN

EU stockpiles pork to support prices PARIS/BRUSSELS (Reuters) — European agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan has pledged to take steps to support pork prices in an effort to help the industry as it reels from a Russian import ban.

Hogan said the “most effective tool available” was for the commission to allow pork to be stockpiled.

“I have been conscious of the difficulties faced by pig farmers,” he said.

“Producers have faced a particular difficulty resulting from the unjustified ban imposed by Russia.”

He said the sector needed support and proposed that “we should open private storage for pig meat.”

“This measure would remove a considerable volume of product from the market, which should have the effect of putting a floor under the market, stabilizing the financial situation of farmers and should enable the market to recover by stimulating the fragile recovery in prices,” he said.

French agriculture minister Stephane Le Foll welcomed the announcement.

LOCAL FOODS

Chefs seek unique produce unlike grocery store fare

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LEDUC, Alta. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Vegetables are king as far as chef Ben Staley is concerned.

For chef Jasmin Kobajica, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meat that wears the crown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vegetables deserve respect,â&#x20AC;? Staley said during an Alberta Agriculture Explore Local event designed to help farmers get their food into restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The humble carrot should be given the same respect as a piece of beef.â&#x20AC;?

Meals are based on the price of meat when Kobajica is pricing the food at his Fort Edmonton Park location. The vegetable and potato are

not part of the equation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do twigs on a rock,â&#x20AC;? Kobajica said about restaurant fads for odd and unusual food.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of the differences in chefs and restaurants and a realization that farmers need to do a bit of research about the restaurant before they make their pitch, said Debra Krause, who supplies vegetables to Edmonton restaurants.

Krause said farmers who are pitching their produce to a chef should eat in the restaurant near the end of the day when chefs have a few minutes to come to the table to chat.

Chefs are active on social media searching for farmers willing to supply their local food, which means

farmers also need to be active in social media.

Staley, who runs a restaurant kitchen near Edmonton, began buying vegetables from Krause after discovering her Versa Gardens website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be active on Twitter and Instagram,â&#x20AC;? said Krause.

Staley said what he wants most from farmers is quality of product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect produce to be treated with the most respect as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want people who are passionate about produce like me.â&#x20AC;?

Staley is also looking for originality.

He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the same cut of pork as other restaurants or the same carrots that consumers can find in the grocery store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want interesting variety. I want the different stuff. Grow produce on an experimental plot and we will take that stuff,â&#x20AC;? he said.

European chefs are asking for vintage carrots that have been left in the ground for a year to age and have a rich, meaty texture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ingredients like that are used in

the best restaurants in the world.â&#x20AC;?

He also looks for cleanliness. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind buying dirty potatoes but expects them to be at a lower cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I expect the price to be fair to chef and producer.â&#x20AC;?

Staley recommended bringing samples of meat and vegetables to the chef to demonstrate the quality of produce the chef can expect.

He said inviting chefs to farms helps solidify the relationship. mary.macarthur@producer.com

LOCAL FOODS

Alberta consumers buy into buy local Producers participate in a workshop designed to help find market opportunities with restaurants

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LEDUC, Alta. — In a time when local, regional and Canadian food is promoted in grocery stores, restaurants and farmers markets, it’s hard to remember when local wasn’t cool.

Jasmin Kobajica does.

The former chef at Edmonton’s Chateau Lacombe said his customers were not amused in the late 1990s when he switched rack of lamb and cedar plank salmon for local bison and lamb.

“I wasn’t met with open arms. Customers were angry,” said Kobajica.

“It was a tough time. Not many people were embracing the concept of local. Educating those customers took years.”

He said he made it his mission to promote Alberta’s story through food.

“When tourists come and look at a menu, they see who you are.”

Kobajica, who is now culinary director at Fort Edmonton Park, said customers look for local food at restaurants.

He said farmers are one of the best advertisements for local food.

“When people can put a face to a product, it adds extra value,” Kobajica told farmers during an Alberta Agriculture Explore Local event designed to help producers get their food into restaurants.

His 11 venues require 700 food items, and he said he doesn’t want to deal with 15 farmers to find 15 different vegetables. Instead, he finds it easier to go through distributors specializing in local food.

Christine Anderson, a new venture specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said the department had a waiting list of farmers wanting to take the daylong course.

“More producers are looking at what are the opportunities out there,” she said.

“We’re seeing this demand. When you put on a workshop and you can fill a room and have a waiting list, that’s great.”

Part of the attraction for producers was sharing ideas with other producers who already have their produce in local restaurants, she said.

Marius De Boer said chatting to chefs and restaurant owners about his local food is not a chore.

“I get a kick from a restaurant that wants to make local products,” said De Boer, who sells his Four Whistle Farm’s beef, lamb, pork, chicken and duck to 25 Edmonton restaurants.

“Selling to restaurants is a labour of love.”

Selling whole animals to restaurants is difficult, so De Boer, who farms near Millet, Alta., sells the other cuts at two farmers markets. He also buys produce from his neighbours to resell at farmers markets.

De Boer delivers fresh meat to the restaurants each week, even stocking the cooler shelves as an added service.

“I just show up and put it in their coolers,” said De Boer, who has developed a good rapport with his customers.

“There are so many opportunities, but I am maxed out.”

Deb Krause of Vesta Gardens in

Thorhild, Alta., said she spends the winter researching food trends around the world to know what to grow for home gardeners and chefs.

“Chefs want to be partners with people who know what is going on it the world,” said Krause, who supplies vegetables for chefs and consumers through a consumer shared agriculture partnership.

“What is the next big thing in Europe is what those chefs are excited about, and can we do that in our little corner of Alberta?”

Spruce buds and cattail hearts are

her top-selling foraged foods for restaurants that specialize in unique food.

Krause often invites chefs to forage in the forest for the food that will end up on their menus.

Looking for a niche is key, said chef Ben Staley, who recently returned from eating his way through trendy restaurants in Scandinavia.

He said Edmonton, with a similar latitude and climate to Scandinavia, is ready for the Nordic cuisine of reindeer lichen, beef tartar with ant toppings and sugar cured egg yolk on

birch tree bark crumble.

Staley said chefs are looking for the unusual from farmers, said Staley.

In Europe, high-end restaurants in Europe leave carrots and potatoes in the ground for a year and serve them as “vintage” vegetables.

He encouraged producers to grow an experimental plot in their gardens and entice him with unusual vegetables.

“I don’t want the same carrot or breed of pork,” he said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

CATTAIL HEARTS? Cattails are harvested in early spring when the greens begin to poke out from the water. The stalk is snapped off and is then trimmed like a leek.

They are sometimes referred to as cossack asparagus,but the flavour is described as crunchy and cucumberlike.

ECONOMY

U.S. farmers lease more equipment to trim costs Seventeen percent of farm equipment was leased at one dealership last year, up from six percent in 2013 CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — U.S. farmers who are nervous that slumping grain prices will crimp profits are increasingly leasing equipment instead of buying it.

The move is creating new risks for manufacturers, which could suffer from declining values for leased machinery.

Farmers face weak markets after years of cashing in on soaring crop price and are now readjusting to a new normal in which they scrutinize every expense, particularly highticket items such as new tractors and planters.

The shift toward leases is the latest ripple effect from the downturn in the farming economy, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts will cut net farm income by more than 30 percent this year to US$73.6 billion, the lowest since 2007.

Deere, the world’s largest maker of farm equipment, reported a 43 percent drop in first-quarter profits because of reduced demand.

The company, known for its signature green and yellow vehicles, saw a small increase in leases versus purchases last year, said Tony

Huegel, director of investor relations.

Deere has said in regulatory filings that its estimates for the value of its leased equipment on the used market, after leases expire, jumped 66 percent in recent years to $2.78 billion as of Oct. 31. An increase in the size of its leased fleet is the main driver of the growth, documents show.

Analysts have noted the shift to leasing.

“We’re seeing some farmers even probably liquidate some of their f l e e t s a n d m o v e t o w a rd s t h a t

model (of leasing),” said Lawrence De Maria, co-head of global industrial infrastructure at William Blair & Co. Switching to equipment leases allows farmers to take advantage of historically low interest rates and frees up capital for other financial needs, such as buying seed and fertilizer and paying farmland rents.

Equipment leases began gaining in popularity last year, when corn prices fell six percent after a decline of nearly 40 percent in 2013, said Andy Huneke, director of leasing and trade

credit for AgStar Financial Services ACA. He said 17 percent of equipment was leased last year at one typical U.S. dealership, up from six percent in 2013.

“It gives producers a lot more flexibility, where they’re not committing long term to equipment during a challenging time,” he said.

Agco chief executive officer Martin Richenhagen said he has seen an increase in leasing but that the interest started years before the recent softening in the farm economy.

Increase in population brings worries of more disease epidemics ROME, Italy (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Converting wilderness areas into farmland in East Africa may be increasing the risk of disease epidemics as rodents crawling with plague-carrying fleas are drawn to harvested food.

A study that was recently published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene said cropland in northern Tanzania has expanded by 70 percent over the last few decades, and the number of plaguecarrying rodents in these corn growing areas has nearly doubled compared with neighbouring wilderness areas.

Scientists linked an increase in corn fields to a 20-fold rise in the population of African rats in northern Tanzania, which transmit deadly diseases to humans, including Lassa fever and plague.

“We found that introducing maize production in natural areas appears to create a perfect storm for plague transmission,” said Hillary Young, a University of California professor and lead author of the study.

“Local farmers often ... store this harvested corn next to or inside their homes, baiting in the hungry field rats and increasing opportunities for human infection.”

The study said plague caused 675 deaths in Tanzania from 1980 to 2011, which could rise as new wilderness areas become farmland and rat populations increase.

Plague, which is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, is less deadly than Ebola or other epidemics, but it is fatal in more than 30 percent of cases if left untreated, the study said.

It said farmers and politicians will have to balance the need for more farmland with concerns over the spread of disease as Africa’s population soar, and food demand increases.

INDIAN EXPORTS

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Friction over India’s beef trade heats up after Hindu attacks Hindus worship cows and activists oppose the slaughter by Muslim traders MUMBAI, India (Reuters) — Hindu nationalists in India have stepped up attacks on the country’s beef industry in a bid to halt the trade in the world’s second-biggest exporter.

Activists have seized trucks with cattle bound for abattoirs and blockaded meat processing plants The industry is predominantly run by Muslim traders, but some groups in the majority Hindu population vehemently oppose it because of the revered status of cows and beef.

Traders are concerned elements in the party of prime minister Narendra Modi may be condoning the latest flare-up in protests.

A surge of raids has occurred this month. An official at a beef transport group in Maharashtra state said 10 vehicles travelling to Mumbai had been stopped, the animals taken forcefully and drivers beaten by members of Hindu nationalist groups despite carrying valid documents.

“We are doing everything legally, but these people harass us and disrupt our work for no reason,” said Mohammad Shahid Sheikh, president of the beef transporters group in Deonar, which is the site of India’s biggest abattoir on the outskirts of Mumbai.

Most of India’s beef comes from buffalo, which are not worshipped, but members of Hindu nationalist groups involved in protests such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) consider themselves protectors of both cows and buffalo.

Some of these groups have close links with Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.

Modi criticized the previous government for promoting a “pink revolution to butcher cattle and export meat” while campaigning last April.

“We did say we would discourage beef exports and even the prime minister was against it, but I can’t comment on what we think of the issue now,” said Satpal Malik, a vicepresident of the farmers wing of the BJP. Officials in Maharashtra, which has been the scene of some of the most violent protests, have pledged to arrest anyone found impeding access to slaughterhouses or disrupting cattle movement.

A circular had been sent to all police units to enforce this and was due to be implemented immediately, said a senior police officer from Maharashtra.

Mohammad Ali Qureshi, president of the Bombay Suburban Beef Dealers Association, said beef processing has resumed at many facilities, but he would back calls for a nationwide protest if fresh protests break out.

“We will monitor the situation for a month and if the promises are not kept we will launch a nation-wide protest,” he said.

However, those opposed to the trade vowed to keep staging protests. Killing cows is legal in just two of India’s 29 states, though reports

45

of illegal slaughter surface regularly.

“We don’t care if the butchers shut shop or announce a strike,” said Laxmi Narayan Chandak, head of the Maharashtra unit of VHP’s cow protection committee, which has been seizing cows held illegally for slaughter for years.

“The previous government supported the butchers to secure votes

of the minority community, but they have no support in the new government.”

India is the world’s top beef exporter after Brazil, cornering a fifth of the market.

Its outbound shipments rose to 1.95 million tonnes last year to October, which was five percent more than for all of 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agrium profit beats expectations (Reuters) — Agrium Inc. reported a better-than-expected fourth quarter profit, helped by higher prices for most grains and oilseeds.

The Canadian fertilizer and farm retail dealer also forecast 2015 profit to be $7 to $8.50 per share.

Prices of corn, wheat and soybean rose in the fourth quarter, despite forecasts for lower commodity prices, the company said.

Agrium is North America’s biggest retail seller of seed, fertilizer and chemicals directly to farmers and is also a producer of nitrogen, potash and phosphate fertilizer.

Rival CF Industries Holdings Inc. recently reported lower fourth quarter profit and said costs of its nitrogen capacity expansion had risen by 10 percent.

Agrium said in November that it would cut 500 jobs and look to sell several non-core businesses as it aimed to find $475 million in savings by 2017.

The fourth-largest global producer of nitrogen sold 879,000 tonnes of wholesale nitrogen products in the fourth quarter that ended Dec. 31, down three percent from a year ago.

Domestic potash sales volumes fell 94 percent to 19,000 tonnes as the expansion project at its mine near Vanscoy, Sask., limited sales, the company said. Agrium completed the expansion in December and is increasing production.

Net earnings for the fourth quarter fell to $51 million from $99 million a year ago. Revenue fell 5.6 percent to $2.71 billion.

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Technotill Flexibility Was The Selling Feature Bob Kidd likes the fact that he has an economical seeding system that will work with all crops, in all conditions, whether he’s establishing forages, seeding cereals into stubble, or converting old pastures to canola.

Kidd, who farms northwest of Edmonton, says an older Flexi-Coil 820 air seeder outfitted with the Technotill seeding system is able to compete with and often beat any system that is out there today and at a fraction of the cost.

Kidd runs a mixed farming operation along with his brother Larry, his uncle Ron and a cousin Darren. They run about a 320 head commercial Angus/Simmental cow-calf operation. They crop abut 2,500 acres of wheat, oats, barley, faba beans, peas and canola. And they also have about 1,500 acres of pasture and hayland.

Kidd likes to put the Technotill system to the test even with some less than conventional seeding techniques. The seeding system even

fits with Kidd’s approach to establishing a small-seeded crop like a new forage stand.

“We use a custom blend for forages so there is only one batch of seed and if we run out , we just can’t run to the store and buy more,” he says. “So we need to make sure that seed batch is seeded at the proper rate to cover the field.”

Kidd’s custom forage blend usually includes two or three varieties of alfalfa or other legume such as birdsfoot trefoil. And then there is a blend of five grass types. He likes to use varieties suited to different growing conditions to optimize production under varying conditions.

Along with establishing forage stands, the Technotill system works equally well to convert played out pastures and hayfields to annual crops. Kidd will direct seed annual crops into sod in either fall or spring.

“I have been really impressed with how well the Technotill handles

such a range of field conditions,” says Kidd. “We haven’t had any serious drought conditions, but it has been dry. And I appreciate the moisture conservation feature of Technotill under those dry conditions. “ “We are extremely pleased at how well our seeding system equipped with Technotill has worked,” says Kidd. “What sold us on it was the flexibility of the system and we haven’t been disappointed.

I don’t know if it is the best system in every situation, but certainly works well under all conditions.”

Technotill Helps With Transition To Full-Time Grain Farm As Abe Unrau converts long-time pasture and hayland to annual crop production he has developed a one-pass seeding system that is not only economical, but works in all kinds of field conditions.

The 2014 growing season was the first year the Unraus did not run cattle on their long-time mixed farming operation west of Prince Albert. For many years they ran a 350 head commercial cow-calf operation and cropped about 1,500 acres of grain. About four years ago they began phasing out of the cattle business. As the herd was downsized, hay and pasture land were brought into annual crop production.

Whether it is the sandy soil at his north-central Saskatchewan farm near Parkside or the heavier clay soil he has fur- ther north near Debden, the Ezee-On air seeding equipment outfitted with Technotill works through all types of field conditions.

“When I can direct seed canola into sod and get a 40 bushel canola crop, as I did in 2013, that’s pretty respectable,” says Unrau, who along with his wife Judy crop about 2,500 acres of grain and oilseeds. “In a conventional system I don’t know how many passes I would have to make to disc that sod and then cultivate to prepare a nice seed bed. With Technotill I can spray out

the hay field or pasture in the fall then seed directly into the sod the next spring with one pass.”

“Before we went to this Technotill system my wife used to put down the anhydrous ammonia , then I would seed and then my wife would follow behind and do the harrow/packing — now she is out of a job!”

“Whether we are converting hay and pasture land to annual cropping, or seeding into stubble, the Technotill system works equally well,” says Unrau.

“I usually go with canola the first year I am converting grass to annual cropping,” says Unrau. “I go with a Roundup Ready variety and that way if there is still some grass coming back it can be controlled. It is ideal if you have moisture in the ground or a rain just before seeding — it really works nicely in sod. With that narrow opener it just makes a slit through the grass. It works well even when it is dry, but a bit of moisture makes it smoother.”

While Unrau prefers to spray out the field in the fall well before spring seeding, he has had good success waiting to kill the forage stand in the spring.

“In 2013 and 2014 I really pushed the limits when I sprayed out some old pasture in the spring ONLY,” he says. “ I seeded my crops and fertilized as usual. In fall I harvested 40 bushels of canola. I was pretty pleased.”

Unrau’s Ezee-On air seeder with Technotill technology works in all soil types, with sod or stubble and even under adverse conditions. “In the spring of 2014 my son was seeding with the equipment at the Debden farm and it started raining,” says Unrau. “Other farmers had to stop, but he just kept going, they thought he was crazy. The rain didn’t affect the operation of the Technotill seeding system. We had to make sure the fertilizer didn’t get wet and cake up, but aside from that everything worked well despite the rain.”

Unrau says that Technotill has been a valuable part of transitioning the farm from cattle to crop production. “It is a very affordable way for us to get an air drill, and it creates a farming system I can handle myself,” says Unrau. “My crops look just as good as anyone else’s and yield just as well. In many respects it has revolutionized the way we farm — I just go out there and seed and my wife is retired.”

Lack of production at the Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina and a prolonged maintenance turnaround significantly affected company profits. An explosion at the refinery in December 2013 continues to hamper production.

“We processed approximately 10 percent less at the refinery, and as a result it impacted our earnings in

2014,” Scott Banda, chief executive officer of FCL, said during the company’s annual general meeting in Saskatoon March 2.

Patronage allocation of $451 million was lower than the $573.7 million in 2013 and the $369 million share of redemption was down from $464 million in 2013.

However, Banda said FCL has returned $4.4 billion into the hands of local retail co-ops in the past 10 years.

In addition, it has spent $4 billion on capital expenditures since 2010, including more than $3 billion to expand and revamp its refinery.

Continued investments for major capital investments included a new

petroleum terminal at Carseland, Alta., the waste water improvement project at the refinery and the purchase of a second office building in Saskatoon.

Other operational in-creases included the purchase of 14 food stores and four gas bars from Sobeys Inc. He also said creating sustainable value for retail co-op members is about investing in local communities, adding personnel capacity, connecting people to communities and creating tangible assets.

“It’s the people, process, cultures, the leadership of our people that need to be enhanced more so that

we’re constantly vigilant in looking for stress points, improving our maintenance, dealing with those things every day all the time,” he said.

Besides a much larger digital presence last year, Banda said the company brand is increasingly being promoted at several levels.

“We’re telling our story very differently, both through social media and other ways about who we are and what we’re doing here,” he said.

A bright spot last year were the agricultural businesses, which Banda said exceeded FCL’s financial expectations in 2014.

FCL acquired 17 fertilizer, seed and agricultural chemical supply centres

from Viterra in November 2013.

Ownership and operations of 15 of the sites were transferred to nine retail co-operatives.

Upcoming challenges for the coming year include low oil prices and the impact on the refining process.

However, a large concern is the ever growing competition.

“We’re in businesses that have multi, multi competitors in them, and I would suggest the size and sophistication of those types of competitors continues to increase. That’s a challenge when you are more of a local business,” he said. william.dekay@producer.com

NEONICOTINOID USE

Farmers urged to attack insects only if necessary

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The president of Manitoba Corn Growers wants farmers to make a conscious choice when they buy corn seed.

Buy seed coated with a neonicotinoid insecticide if they need an insecticide seed treatment. If not, consider fungicide-only seed.

“Pollinators are potentially at risk (by) our actions and we’re doing our best to try and spread the word,” said Myron Krahn, who spoke at the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association convention in Winnipeg in late February.

“There’s no longer any excuse for producers to say they didn’t know,” he said.“We are aware that there are risks to the seed treatments we use.”

Purdue University research and bee deaths during the 2012 planting season in Ontario suggest that insecticide-laden dust from corn planters is a threat to honeybee colonies.

He said Canada’s corn industry has taken action to reduce the risk, such as mandating use of a fluency agent on the seed that reduces dust emissions at planting time.

Manitoba Corn Growers also encourages farmers to buy fungicide-only seed because every corn acre in the province doesn’t require an insecticide seed treatment.

Rob Currie, a University of Manitoba entomologist, asked why corn seed comes with an insecticide seed treatment as a default choice.

Krahn, who farms near Carman and is also a seed retailer, said the corn seed sold in Manitoba comes in bags from Ontario and the United States and is all pre-treated.

“When we sell soybeans, they come out of the bin (as) bare seed…. Now you’re presenting the farmer the option to give you $10 more per acre and I’ll put this fancy blue stuff on it.”

Krahn estimated that neonic-coated seed was used on 90 percent of Manitoba’s corn acres last year, down from 100 percent a few years ago.

He said the percentage could drop further this spring.

“Canvassing other retailers around the province, it sounds like there’s been more requests from producers to have non-insecticide treated seed.” robert.arnason@producer.com

GRAIN STORAGE

Fans multiply moisture and money Increasing the moisture content by a few percentage points can pencil out to thousands of dollars in returns RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

A farmer who tries to improve the moisture content of a canola shipment by turning on the water hose won’t endear him to grain buyers.

An observant buyer will notice that the seed coat is mushy and the effort will backfire.

In some cases, canola growers have been blacklisted from elevators after being caught red handed with a garden hose in hand.

However, producers also cheat themselves when they ship canola and soybeans that are three or four points below the normal moisture level.

A better solution is to use aeration fans to gradually increase the moisture content, said Brendon Kaminsky, who farms near Brunkild, Man. Kaminsky experienced a hot, dry harvest three years ago, and he found himself with two big bins of soybeans at 6.5 to seven percent moisture.

“That was 2012. It was great harvest conditions but a really bad year for seed growers around here,” he said.

“The seed was terrible, it was so dry.

So, 2013 was when it hurt. Seed was so dry it was cracking coming out of the air seeder and it wasn’t germinating. Seed needs a certain amount of moisture to remain viable.

“We ran the fans on the soybeans in the spring, in May, to put some moisture back in before we shipped them.

The beans were bone dry. We brought them up to around 9.5 percent on average. We raised them about 2.5 points.”

Wall Grain Management Solutions of Brunkild, Man., installed an Integris system with cables in all the large bins that included temperature and moisture sensors.

Kaminsky said the Integris computer controls the system round the clock.

In May 2 0 1 3 , t h e s y s t e m w a s instructed to manage the fans to humidify soybeans in the bin.

He said the program pushes the moisture front in the bin only a certain distance in each session. The bottom layer will start to dry if the program runs too long, which would be counter-productive.

“Wall Grain uses this same fan control system to dry the grain and to cool the grain. They decided they

could just turn it around and reverse the procedure for re-hydrating, so that’s what they did and it works beautifully,” Kaminsky said.

“When we’re adding moisture, they use all the same temperature and moisture cables, but the computer has different instructions, that’s all.”

Kaminsky said the sensor cables feed into a small plastic box on top of each bin. Each box holds a computer board to process bin data along with outside temperature and humidity.

Each box also has a six inch antenna so it can send data to the Wall Grain shop, where a weather station keeps track of environmental factors.

“By knowing the temperature and moisture of the grain at each level in the bin, (the) computer knows when to turn fans on or off. It works for removing moisture or adding moisture, just by changing the instructions,” he said.

“There’s myself and two other growers around here with these systems. I’m within a half mile of (the Wall Grain) shop. The other two guys are within a mile of the shop. So we don’t need a cell hookup or anything like that, just a two-way radio.

Canola might take longer, but I think it can be done.”

Kaminsky doubts the system would

work to add moisture in the fall. He thinks it works best in spring and summer when humidity is high and nights are cool. ron.lyseng@producer.com

WATER CONSERVATION

Closed-loop water management boosts yields

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

HARROW, Ont. — Ontario farmers have long recognized the value of drainage, considering that 65 percent of the province’s cropland is tiled.

Now a growing number are taking advantage of a low-cost opportunity to reduce drought stress and nutrient losses with controlled drainage.

It’s accomplished by adding strategically placed risers, says Chin Tan, a water management and quality specialist with Agriculture Canada.

“In the summer, what happens is you don’t want to drain water. You want to keep it,” he said.

“Plus when you drain there can be a water quality problem.”

The risers prevent water from leaving the drainage tiles, allowing water to flow away only when it reaches a pre-determined level.

Full drainage capacity is restored at certain times of the year, such as spring when field work is necessary.

Researchers at the Eugene Whelan Experiment Farm near Windsor, Ont., have combined controlled drainage with an option to irrigate.

Water drained from fields is stored in an artificial wetland rather than being released. From there it can be returned to the field either through the drainage tiles, which is called subirrigation, or with drip irrigation.

Tan said research shows “closed loop” water recycling and management can improve soybean yields by 50 percent, tomato yields by 40 per-

cent and corn yields up to 95 percent, which more than compensates for taking land taken out of production for water storage.

“By learning to save water for when it’s really needed, farmers will be able to take some of the guess work out of farming,” he said.

Trial results Dave Epp, who is working with Tan, has been able to increase yields to 50 tons per acre, which is significantly higher than the area’s average.

Controlled drainage systems are relatively inexpensive to install and involve attaching risers to an existing drainage system.

At the Whelan farm, these are located in concrete boxes sunk into

ground. Tan said an even less-expensive “Big O” system is also available.

Unfortunately, sub-irrigation systems are not a good fit in many parts of Ontario.

Tiles are generally placed .6 to .7 metres deep in Ontario compared to 1.2 to 1.5 metres in parts of the United States bordering the Great Lakes and from .9 to 1.2 metres in Quebec. As a result, water levels can be raised by only a modest amount.

The Ontario depth was determined years ago to optimize water removal, Tan said.

Ditch depths and freezing temperatures are also limiting factors because drains must be kept clear over the winter to keep them from breaking.

A significant amount of controlled drainage occurs in Essex County and

considerable interest in the Ottawa area, Tan said.

The experimental farm will be part of a tour during the International Conference of Environmental Indicators that the University of Windsor is hosting in August. The water monitoring systems that Tan designed will be of special interest.

Samplers continuously collect and measure surface runoff and tile drainage water.

“Year round, every drop of rainfall is captured and measured, literally 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he said.

The system is one of the most extensive and sophisticated in the world.

The data that’s collected is used nationally and internationally as a model for comparable systems.

GRAIN STORAGE

Rehydrating grain ‘makes money for grower every year’ Increasing moisture in oilseeds and cereals adds weight to grain — and the wallet

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Brendon Kaminsky’s aeration fans may have been turning on and off in southern Manitoba two years ago as they re-hydrated soybeans, but the system was being managed on a laptop in Lethbridge.

Kaminsky’s Integris system was built and managed by Calvin Boisjoli, a specialist with Wall Grain Management Solutions.

The sensors were located in Kaminsky’s bins, transmitted readings to a computer at the Wall Grain shop in Brunkild, Man., and monitored and fine tuned by Boisjoli at his office in Lethbridge, via internet remote control.

Dave Wall, owner of Wall Grain, said most people think of aeration systems only in terms of drying and cooling grain, but the Integris software makes an aeration system capable of doing a lot more.

“We have a number of customers across the three provinces who use the system to re-hydrate canola, wheat, barley, corn, peas and soybeans,” he said.

“Re-hydrating grain pays handsomely. Kamin s ky wa s a g o od example.”

Wall estimated that Kaminsky’s two bins were each half full, for a total of 30,000 bushels of soybeans. Increasing the moisture by 2.5 percent is the same as a gain of 750 bu.

The price that summer was about $15 per bu., which pencils out to a gain of $11,000.

“A good aeration system makes money for the grower every year,” Wall said.

“The best solution to any harvest problem is to get it wrapped up as early as possible, even if that means

Built-in sawfly defence.

DAVE WALL WALL GRAIN

putting an extra couple points of moisture in the bin.

“It’s easier to use your aeration to extract moisture than to add moisture, but it works both ways. The main economic justification for expanding on-farm storage and aeration is the opportunity to minimize risk.”

Boisjoli said it’s usually no problem re-hydrating grain in southern Alberta in fall and even in winter some years.

However, the process takes longer in cold weather because the air has less water-holding capacity.

The Integris software was developed by OPI Systems in Calgary and sold to Wall Grain.

Boisjoli was one of the key members of the development team for seven years and he knows the system inside and out.

Because Wall now owned the Integris software, it only made sense to hire Boisjoli.

“I travelled extensively all over the world for OPI, so I have a pretty good handle on who is doing what with regard to this type of hardware and management,” said Boisjoli.

THE RIGHT FIT

Proper sized tires deliver power to the ground Undersized, overinflated tires will limit power, waste fuel and cause soil compaction

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Now is a good time to do an inventory of farm implement tires to determine what needs to be replaced before the snow melts.

There are a number of considerations, such as making sure tires aren’t undersized, says James Crouch, manager of agricultural tires for Michelin.

“Who ever heard of such a thing?

You’ve probably never even thought about a farmer having tires that are too small on his tractor, but here’s how it happens,” said Crouch, who used the example of a farmer with a 9630 John Deere that he modified, or “chipped,” over the winter to increase its power.

“So instead of 530 horsepower, now the guy has 620 or 650 h.p. His horsepower has dramatically increased. He had been running dual 620/70/42s before, but now he gets power hop, and slippage is dramatically higher.

Actually, we see this often.

“His old tires might be in perfect condition, but they don’t match the new power. He’s putting too much torque to the ground. He’s undersized on his tires, so now he has to move up to something like a 710/70/42 or an IF (increased flexion) tire.”

JAMES CROUCH MICHELIN

Crouch said a tire’s job is to transmit power from the engine to the ground. If the tire isn’t doing its job, the farmer is wasting fuel and even more importantly, wasting part of his investment in the equipment.

“On the new John Deere 9620R, the standard dual tire is an 800/70R 38.

Now that’s a really big tire, but that’s what they need to put that power to the ground,” he said.

“They used to run a 710/70 42, which is the same height but it was a narrower tread. And before that it was a 620/70 42. The footprint grows progressively larger as the power increases.”

Stubble Shield No method is available to quantify the damage that stubble can do to a tire, but every farmer with experience in B.t. corn knows that a tire can be severely damaged or ruined by stubble.

To combat this problem, manufacturers of agricultural tires are continually tweaking rubber compounds to make their tires stand up better to tough standing stubble. It’s possible

to formulate a compound that’s impervious to stubble damage, but those tires would probably ride like the old iron wheels on the first tractors.

Crouch said Michelin has introduced a VF row crop tire that carries a two-year free replacement guarantee against stubble damage called the Stubble Shield.

“We’ve tested that tire for the past few years in no-till B.t. corn just to make sure it stands up,” he said.

“We think we have the right combination of rubber compound and tread angle. One of the things we discovered is that a steeper pitch on the tread is better in stubble because it deflects the stubble toward the shoulder. A flatter tread is more prone to stubble damage.”

Central inflation Crouch said soil compaction is a major focus at Michelin’s research and development department. There’s only so much an individual farmer can do to fight compaction unless he has help from the tire companies.

“Just like the farmer, we want to bring soil compaction down to a minimum,” he said.

“Our tire technology has helped a lot so far. Our UltraFlex technology allows our tires to get really, really low in pressure and still hold up. We have the IF designation, which is increased flexion, and VF, which is very high flexion.

“When we sell you a brand new set of tires, once they’re mounted and installed on your tractor, a Michelin rep will come out to your farm and weigh your tractor on a set of DOT scales so he can give you a pressure recommendation. But you’re limited because you have to set your tractor tire pressures for the worst case scenario.

“The worst day in the life of those tires is when you’re pulling your planter down the highway from one field to the next. So the rep hooks up your planter folded into transport.

And your tire pressure recommendation will be based on that scenario, maybe something around 26.”

Crouch said the recommendation will be high for field use. It’s good for tire life and from a safety point of view, but it will cause major compaction problems in the field.

The tires shouldn’t have that much pressure when pulling a drill or a planter, he added.

“In the field, those tires might be best down around 13 (pounds per sq. inch). Now your soil compaction is way less. Your traction is way better.

Ride quality is better.”

“Central inflation lets you lower the pressure while you’re in the field working and raise the pressure up to the recommended level for transport.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Central inflation is a fantastic tool in letting you manage your tires better and basically manage your soil better,” said Crouch.

“We’re working closely with Euro-

pean and domestic manufacturers to make sure our ag tires are suited for central inflation systems. Farmers and industry all have the same goal.

We all want to get tire inflation as low as possible so we can keep soil compaction to an absolute minimum.”

Crouch said some Michelin tires for big four-wheel-drive tractors are now rated as low as six p.s.i., but only in certain conditions.

Adhering to the recommended pressure for different conditions will also promote longer tread and casing life, he added.

Goodbye calcium KalTire recently organized educational seminars about soil compaction in Manitoba, said Greg Smelski, the company’s zone manager in Brandon.

“What we found was that some of the older generation farmers didn’t have any idea how compaction can cut into their yield,” he said.

“With the new tractors and the newest radial tires running at extremely low pressures, everyone’s getting away from the calcium ballast and going to the dry weights.

“If you’re putting calcium into a radial, you’re essentially changing that expensive radial tire into a bias ply tire. The walls of the radial can’t flex the way they’re supposed to. You want the ballast on the tractor itself so you get the right balance. You’re hurting yourself by putting ballast in the tires.”

Smelski said KalTire does not offer central inflation, but it is working to develop a pressure monitoring system for agricultural tires.

The system will have a sensor and transmitter in each tire that send continuous p.s.i. readings to a display in the cab. It’s not as convenient as central inflation, but it will alert the operator to any extreme under or over inflation.

“With duals and triples, the valves are hard to get at. And if you have over-inflated tires, you’ll get slippage, and that wastes a lot of fuel,” Smelski said.

“The other concern with duals or triples is you have to run the same pressure in all the tires. There’s no point in running multiple tires if only one of the tires is carrying all

the load and doing all the work.

That’s where a pressure monitoring system or central inflation pays for itself.”

Equipment on bigger farms must put on a lot more road miles getting from one end of the farm to the other, which Smelski said is another argument for a pressure monitoring or central inflation system.

“Some of the European tractors are capable of 60 m.p.h. Most of our domestic tractors can run down the road at 30 m.p.h. If you’re travelling those speeds with tire pressures down at 12 p.s.i., that’s dangerous,” he said.

“The other aspect is that equipment manufacturers are becoming a lot more demanding about what tires can go on the machines they sell us.

They have very strict specifications about size, highway speed and weight capacity.”

Smelski said farmers might find replacement tires that are the same size, but they may be setting themselves up for a bad crash and a major legal liability if the speed and weight specifications aren’t correct.

Bargain basement priced tires may work in less demanding situations on older implements, Smelski said, but he wouldn’t put them on a newer tractor, sprayer, grain cart or combine. Those lower priced tires are usually bias ply, and Smelski said bias ply tires will eventually disappear from the market.

Michelin has a new lineup of high quality seamless farm tire tubes made of 100 percent butyl rubber for farmers who still want to run calcium ballast.

The new inner tube is designed to reduce the risk of the corrosive liquid leaking out and corroding the wheel.

The tubes are available in multiple sizes to fit Michelin and competitor brands.

COMMODITY CLASSIC

U.S. ag secretary urges fast track on trade bill Tom Vilsack fears the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement will collapse if approval is stalled by onerous amendments

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — The U.S. agriculture secretary is urging farmers to phone their members of Congress to push for passage of a trade promotion authority bill.

“I’m asking today for you to get engaged,” Tom Vilsack told the more than 7,700 growers attending the 2015 Commodity Classic.

“I’m asking you today to help us convince this country that it’s in our economic and national security

interests to get these trade agreements through.”

Trade promotion authority, which is also known as fast track authority, would allow U.S. negotiators to negotiate a trade pact that Congress can vote yes or no but can’t amend.

The last fast track legislation lapsed in 2007, which has made approving free trade agreements more onerous because they are subject to amendment by 435 members of the House of Representatives and 100 members of the Senate.

Vilsack isn’t alone in his plea for

trade promotion authority. Eight previous secretaries of agriculture signed a letter last week urging Congress to reinstate the powerful tool for trade negotiators.

“Every living secretary since president (Jimmy) Carter was on that letter,” said Vilsack.

“In that letter, they essentially said to Congress, ‘look, this is pretty doggone important.’ ” It’s because 30 percent of all U.S. agricultural sales are exports. The dollar value of those exports amounts to total net farm income every year.

Vilsack wants fast track authority in place in time to finalize the TransPacific Partnership agreement because the countries in that agreement account for one-third of global agricultural trade.

There are 525 million middle class people in Asia. That is expected to grow to more than 3.2 billion in 15 years, which would be the equivalent of adding eight markets the size of the United States.

There is a danger the TPP negotiations could collapse if the deal stalls in Congress. In the meantime, China

is attempting to convince its neighbors to sign an all-Asia trade agreement.

“If we’re going to get TPP and open up this enormous opportunity to balance the Chinese influence in Asia, we have to get to work on trade promotion authority,” said Vilsack.

When he asked one senator why he was opposed to the idea, the senator replied, “I’ll just give you two numbers — the number 1,200 and the number two.”

He received 1,200 calls that week from voters opposed to trade promotion authority and only two in favour of it.

Vilsack said that is why he needs farmers to sway their members of Congress.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but it’s not easy to get Congress to agree on hardly anything these days,” he said.

Vilsack has the full support of the American Soybean Association, which represents the country’s top agriculture export commodity.

The association recognizes it is cumbersome to negotiate a deal without fast track authority.

“It’s like running every decision you make on your farm through everybody else in your county,” said association spokesperson Patrick Delaney.

He is confident this is one of the few issues where there could be agreement in Congress.

“It really is something that we think is an easier lift than a lot of pieces of legislation in Washington,” said Delaney.

There is opposition on the far left from supporters of the fair trade movement and on the far right from politicians opposed to anything president Barack Obama supports.

As a result, the focus will be on the more moderate members of the Republican and Democratic parties.

“This is another one of those issues that we’re going to try to move down the middle,” he said.

Some members of Congress have suggested fast track authority removes some of the transparency associated with trade deals, but Vilsack said they all have access to every line of the agreement as it is being negotiated. sean.pratt@producer.com

Vancouver moves more grain

West coast grain vessels continue to wait for shipments

Port Metro Vancouver reports big jump in wheat and canola shipments

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bulk shipments of Canadian grain through the port of Vancouver were up more than 22 percent last year.

Figures collected by Port Metro Vancouver show that bulk shipments of grains, oilseeds, feed and specialty crops exceeded 19.6 million tonnes in 2014, up from 16.1 million tonnes a year earlier.

Wheat and canola shipments accounted for the lion’s share of the increase.

Bulk wheat shipments were listed at 8.9 million tonnes in 2014, up 18 percent from the 7.6 million tonnes shipped a year earlier.

Total canola shipments jumped 31 percent to 6.1 million tonnes, up from 4.6 million tonnes in 2013.

Shipments of non-feed barley were just a hair shy of 700,000 tonnes, up from 400,000 in 2013.

Shipments of specialty crops were down one percent at 2.95 million tonnes.

Doug Mills, senior account representative for bulk cargo at Port Metro, said strong demand for Canadian grain and a large crop harvested in 2013 were the main factors behind the port’s strong 2014 grain numbers.

He said a federal government order requiring Canada’s Class 1 railway carriers to move minimum weekly volumes of western Canadian grain also boosted the port’s 2014 loadings.

However, he said the port’s numbers would have been up significantly, even without the federal order.

“There’s no question, it (the federal order) moved more tonnage over a shorter period of time, so it did help,” Mills said.

“Would all that grain have moved by the end of the (calendar) year anyway? I’m not sure I can answer that question. I don’t think it’s conclusive as to whether or not the federal order

was the (reason for the port’s strong grain numbers), but I do think that the tonnage was there and the demand was there.”

Western Canadian farmers harvested close to 75 million tonnes of major grains and oilseeds, which Mills said produced an “unusual blip” in Vancouver’s 2014 grain handlings.

However, the port is expecting steady growth in grain over the longer term, he added.

“Generally, in terms of trending, we are projecting for continued growth,” he said.

31% “We believe it is going to continue, and we see that through the (investments) by the grain companies themselves.”

Mills said most of the grain companies that have grain export facilities on the Vancouver waterfront are undertaking major capital expansions aimed at increasing storage, enhancing efficiency and improving throughput capacity.

“They’re all preparing for larger volumes of grain,” he said.

Vancouver’s containerized grain shipments were also up in 2014.

Outbound shipments of containerized specialty crops were listed at 2.67 million tonnes last year, up six percent from 2013.

ized cereal grains were up 25 percent at 393,000 tonnes.

Japan was easily the most popular destination for Canadian wheat shipped through Vancouver. Nearly 1.4 million tonnes, or 15 percent of the wheat shipped through Vancouver, was destined for that country.

Peru was the second most popular destination, followed by Colombia, Italy and Bangladesh.

China was easily the most common destination for outbound canola.

Canola shipments to China were listed at nearly three million tonnes in 2014, which was almost 50 percent of the port’s total canola traffic last year.

Robin Silvester, president of Port Metro Vancouver, said the port will continue to accommodate growth in Canadian trade while respecting the interests of other groups.

“The port had another record year for cargo volumes, illustrating the demands created by a growing Canadian economy and increasing international desire for Canadian trade,” Silvester said.

“I’m proud of the leading edge environmental initiatives, community engagement and infrastructure projects we have completed this year to help balance this continued growth with our local quality of life.” brian.cross@producer.com

An official with the port of Vancouver says lingering logistical issues continue to hamper the fluid movement of Canadian grain to overseas markets, despite a significant increase in shipments last year.

Doug Mills, a senior account representative for bulk cargo at Port Metro Vancouver, said the number of ships waiting at anchor on the West Coast suggests that the grain industry still has logistical issues to solve.

Sixteen grain vessels were at anchor in Vancouver as of late last week, waiting to be loaded. Another nine ships were anchored off Vancouver Island.

Most of those are also waiting for grain.

Mills said the number of grain vessels waiting at port is not necessarily an indication of a bottleneck in the port’s loading capability.

“That’s not the issue,” he said. “The issue is that those vessels are waiting for grain to arrive. It’s actually a function of the grain industry’s ability to get specific grades of grain to the right place at the right time in order to meet the ship.”

Mills said the Canadian grain industry is still adjusting to logistical issues that arose when Ottawa ended Cab’s single desk marketing mandate two and half years ago.

Responsibility for co-ordinating the delivery of wheat at the port was transferred from one organization

— CWB — to a number of private sector grain companies.

The result was more ships waiting at anchor, more cargoes broken into partial loads and more vessels docking multiple times at the same terminal before receiving their full tonnage.

“Our numbers indicate that we’re loading record amounts of grain,” Mills said.

“The terminals are not anywhere near their capacity, so these ships are simply waiting for grain to arrive.”

The number of grain vessels waiting at port this winter is significantly lower than it was 12 months ago: 20 to 25 ships waiting to be loaded at Vancouver last week compared to more than 50 grain vessels waiting at Vancouver and Prince Rupert early last year.

However, he said more work is needed.

“In general, I would say we still have some issues because that’s a lot of vessels to be waiting at anchor,” he said.

“And nine waiting off the island? I mean, the island is not a typical place to anchor. That is an emergency relief valve, if you like. When you have that number of ships at anchor off the island, it’s usually indicative of a problem for available space here at the harbour because they’re not waiting for locations on the island to load. They’re waiting to come here, and that alone is a signal that there’s still an issue.” brian.cross@producer.com

More BSE testing urged Saskatchewan and Alberta failed to meet targets

mation, which has kept the case in the news and markets unsettled.

“It took quite a while for us to hear it was the same birth farm,” he said.

“That has been a little frustrating.

There are producers concerned.”

Perillat said consumers and cattle markets don’t seem as worried.

“In general, the markets have been fairly accepting and understanding of the Canadian system and the BSE system,” he said.

“It makes producers more nervous than consumers. We get nervous and think this will be a big deal, but I don’t think the average consumer is concerned. Our main trading partners are watching, but hopefully as we get more information on the investigation, if that goes fairly well, it is just another case.”

China recently joined Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Peru and Belarus in halting beef imports from Canada.

None of the first five countries are big importers of Canadian beef.

OLDS, Alta. — Alberta and Saskatchewan continue to fall short on BSE tests.

Canada needs to sample about 30,000 cattle per year under World Organization for Animal Health rules.

Alberta is the largest cattle producer and should complete 10,000 tests a year. However, it handled only 60 percent of that in 2013 with 6,500 tests and 80 percent in 2014.

Saskatchewan tested 3,317 animals in 2013, which was 45 percent of its target.

“If every other Alberta beef producer submitted one head a year, we would meet our quota,” Alberta veterinarian Dr. Gordon Krebs said at a beef seminar in Olds Feb. 26.

Ontario and Quebec tend to sample more because producers must take dead stock to renderers rather than dispose of them naturally as happens in the West.

British Columbia sampled 1,630 animals, or 150 percent of its target, while Manitoba is at 96 percent with 2,874 tests.

Krebs is on the University of Calgary faculty of veterinary medicine and a private practitioner at Didsbury, Alta. He is certified to collect samples on farm.

Beef and dairy animals tested for BSE must be older than 30 months and fit into one of four categories: diseased and not likely to respond to treatment, distressed and destined for on farm emergency slaughter, downers that are unable to stand up or dead by any cause.

Producers should call as soon as possible if they have such an animal.

Details on the animal’s age and activity will be required.

The veterinarian needs to see an intact head, which can be removed if it is frozen.

However, samples deteriorate during hot weather.

Krebs will euthanize the animal on the farm and then take a small piece of the brain called the obex from the back of the head.

Metal tags are then attached to the head and body, which cannot be removed.

The carcass needs to stay intact and kept away from scavengers. Results are available in three to four business days.

Producers can dispose of the body according to provincial regulations if the results are negative. However, the carcass cannot be used for human consumption.

If the animal is positive, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency deals with it.

BSE IMPACT

Cattle market stays strong despite latest BSE case

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

News of the latest BSE case and the fact that it shared the same birth farm as a previous Alberta case has had little impact on cattle markets, an analyst said.

“It’s generally been quite limited,” said Brian Perillat, senior market analyst with Canfax.

“It has added a little bit of skepticism and nervousness from packers if they’re losing markets, and from producers,” said Perillat, but markets have seen little impact from BSE. Calf markets are still strong, cull cow and bull markets are extremely strong and breeding stock prices for bulls, cows and bred heifers remain very strong, he said.

“Most of our world and trading partners are pretty confident in the Canadian system.”

On Feb. 27, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed that the cow in the most recent case of BSE, which was born in 2009 and

died on a farm near Spruce Grove, Alta., in February, shared the same birth farm as an infected cow identified in 2010 and born in 2004.

“The focus of our feed investigation will include consideration on whether any non-compliance with respect to the feed ban may have contributed to this case,” said Paul Mayers, CFIA’s vice-president of policy and programs.

“The fact that this case was born on a farm involved in a previous case at this point is the only linkage between the two cases.”

A report on the commercial beef cow in 2010 didn’t identify one specific cause.

An investigation into the feed the animal may have been fed during its first year of life looked at six feed mills and mineral suppliers. It ruled out some suppliers as a possible source of contamination, but others, which were either no longer in business or had incomplete records, couldn’t be ruled out, said the report.

Mayers said feed remains the focus of the current investigation. Officials

are tracing the animals born on the farm between the two dates.

The location of the birth farm has not been revealed.

Perillat said producers have reacted strongly to the news that the latest BSE case is on the same birth farm as a previous case.

“BSE still causes a lot of sting for a lot of people, and that makes producers nervous,” he said.

Dave Solverson, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said the gap in age between the cow born in 2004 and the one in 2009 is concerning but not unexpected, given the history of BSE in Europe after the feed ban.

The birth farm was both a commercial and purebred operation, w h i c h m e a n s t h e re a re g o o d records to trace the animals born on the farm at the same time as the latest BSE case.

“I understand there is very good records and they are able to trace out all the cohorts,” said Solverson.

He said the CFIA has caused some frustration by dribbling out infor-

ANIMAL HEALTH

Experts examine virus in new Ontario PED case Tissue samples from the latest case will be examined to determine if it is a hog or bird virus, says epidemiologist

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Ontario confirmed another case of porcine epidemic diarrhea Feb. 20 on a farrow to finish operation in Oxford County.

The deadly viral disease has been contained mainly in Ontario and Quebec, but other provinces continue to collect samples at hog assembly yards, truck washes, processing plants and other high traffic areas, Alberta veterinarian Dr. Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services in Red Deer said during a conference call Feb. 25.

“It is not moving extremely rapidly and that is because of the hard work pork producers and industry have been doing to keep it from widespread movement,” said Brockhoff.

Alberta has collected more than 6,500 samples and found positive samples in pigeon and sparrow feces. These samples have been forwarded to the national microbiology laboratory in Winnipeg, where DNA tests are being run to see if it is a pig or avian virus.

“We are not sure whether we are seeing again a new virus or a bird virus, but we will have to follow this one,” said Dr. Julia Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture.

ED NC 2014 U O , NN 2ND A ST ER JU EMB C DE

A breach in biosecurity is often blamed for the spread of the deadly pig virus. | Saskatchewan found its first positive delta corona virus sample in manure collected at a loading chute that came from out of province, she said.

Manitoba has had five farms infected with PED, but investigators do not know how the virus entered the province.

“They have been able to identify there are some biosecurity breeches but again, if you look at any operation very closely you will be able to identify something,” Keenliside said.

“Ninety-five percent of the time the biosecurity on these operations is excellent, and every once in awhile there is a slip up,” she said.

Trucks remain a major focus because pigs are moved across the western provinces and into the United States. Manitoba gets a lot of truck traffic from the U.S., which is a likely source of PED because the disease is endemic there. About 100 cases cropped up in the U.S. every week this winter, but the virus appears to have slowed down because of greater biosecurity aware-

ness and a vaccine program.

As well, a pilot project is auditing truck wash stations in the prairie provinces.

“We have found there is lots of opportunity for improvement and education in the truck wash facilities,” said Brockhoff.

Many are washing trucks correctly, but investigators also noticed that some do only a cursory job and may not use soap or disinfectant.

“We see the odd trailer that just get fire hosed out,” he said.

“That of course increases the risk for everyone else following you.”

As well, producers are still warned to avoid using dried porcine blood plasma in feed. The World Organization for Animal Health has said the risk is negligible, but practitioners are being more cautious.

“Negligible risk is not zero. Negligible risk has cost the Ontario and Quebec pork industries millions in lost production and lost piglets and increased disease challenge,” said Brockhoff.

“Although the risk is low, the outcome is devastating for a lot pork producers.”

Millions of pigs fed on the Prairies received blood plasma and suffered no consequences, but dried bovine plasma from plants that only handle bovine products may be better. The plants should be validated to show they are free of PED and that no cross contamination is occurring at these plants.

“We understand the good science behind blood plasma processing and the safety that it should impart, but there has still been no clear explanation or speculation as to how live corona virus, PED ended up in blood plasma products in a mill in Ontario,” said veterinarian Dr. Frank Marshall. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Pain control required, but with what?

Only two products are approved in Canada to ease pain during dehorning and castration

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Cattle producers are facing a conundrum.

They must start using pain control by next year for their animals during dehorning or castration, but few approved medications are available.

“We have two products that are available to producers with label claims. That is all we have,” said Merle Olson, a veterinarian, as well as an owner and research director of Alberta Veterinary Laboratories in Calgary.

His company develops veterinary pharmaceuticals and has registered 35 products.

Product registration is time consuming and lengthy because the federal government requires detailed efficacy studies, he told a pain management workshop in Olds Jan. 27.

A study is required for each claim.

The cattle industry needs effective, affordable medication that comes in a single, easy to administer dose and acts rapidly.

The label also needs to specify it

We have to have appropriate pharmaceuticals to address pain and inflammation. We have to make them available in Canada.

MERLE OLSON VETERINARIAN

may be used for beef and dairy cattle.

Products must be tasteless, nonirritating and provide long-lasting relief with a reasonable withdrawal time. They must be environmentally safe and not toxic to other species with no potential for human abuse.

Pain control drugs are on the market and have been used off label.

Some, such as lidocaine, work as an anesthetic, while others have an analgesic effect and can relieve pain and inflammation.

“We have to have appropriate pharmaceuticals to address pain and inflammation. We have to make them available in Canada,” he said.

Alberta Veterinary Laboratories is

developing an oral meloxicam for cattle and horses that is long-lasting.

Health Canada will not approve it unless the company has appropriately tested the product.

Groups of calves were banded or surgically castrated with some groups receiving medication while others did not.

Researchers observed the calves’ behaviour, measured plasma cortisol levels and heart rates and monitored scrotal swelling.

A difference was observed during the first three days between those receiving meloxicam and the control group.

Band castration caused more pain than surgical castration, but there was more inflammation in surgically castrated calves.

A meloxicam residue study showed huge variation in levels in the liver, kidney and muscle tissue, but by the 28 day, there were no problem with residues.

Olson’s company is also working on topical gels to treat injured sites. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Livestock producers are under pressure to follow pain management practices for procedures that cause pain, like branding. | FILE PHOTO ANIMAL WELFARE

Producers must heed public push for pain mitigation If consumers lose trust in the industry, the result is regulation, warns an animal welfare expert

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — The 17th century French philosopher Rene Descartes believed animals were cleverly designed machines, and humans had no obligation to treat them well because they were mindless and lacked feelings.

He favoured live animal dissection, arguing they did not feel pain, despite their screams as they were cut open.

“There has been lots of discussion whether or not animals feel pain over the years,” said Ed Pajor, professor of animal welfare at the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine.

“There is no question, and no producers or researchers really believe that animals don’t feel pain,” he said at a pain management workshop in Olds Jan. 27.

Pain is real and some farm practices, directly or indirectly, cause acute and/or chronic pain.

Some consumers today are questioning animal treatment during castration, dehorning, branding, beak trimming and tail docking.

They may not understand livestock housing systems or antibiotic resistance, but they do know what pain and discomfort is.

“Consumers actually understand pain and strongly believe it should be mitigated,” Pajor said.

The most recent Canadian codes of practice for humane handling of pigs, cattle, horses and other species have included recommendations on pain control.

Pressure to change some handling practices will continue to mount as consumers in Canada and overseas press their demands that producers take steps to alleviate pain.

Producers can find it difficult to tell when animals are suffering, but there are certain signs, said Pajor. For example, a lame dairy cow may display a spinal arch, head bob, reluc-

tance to bear weight, tracking up and joint flexion.

“We can’t ever really know what the animal is experiencing or how bad that pain might be,” he said.

Some procedures that cause pain, such as branding, castration and dehorning, are necessary to protect farm workers and other animals, but that won’t necessarily save producers from consumer backlash.

“That may be true, but consumers who do not understand animal agriculture may not see it that way,” said Pajor.

He added that there is little evidence to suggest that pain mitigation efforts affect animal performance measurements, such as average daily gain.

But production and economic effects require need more study.

Pajor said one U.S. study found 83 percent of people surveyed agreed it is wrong to cause farm animals pain, injury or stress.

About 75 percent said farm animals should be protected from feeling physical pain and most agreed animals can feel pain as humans do.

As well, future international trade agreements could further pressure producers to include more pain management practices.

The recent European Union-Canadian free trade agreement included animal welfare, although it did not specify what might be required.

Pajor also cited the World Trade Organization ruling, which upheld the EU ban on Canadian seal products because of the concern about public morals.

“It was the first time animal welfare was upheld as a trade barrier.”

He also cited the U.S. restaurant chain Chipotle, which in January, removed pork from 600 restaurants because of a supplier’s pig housing setup, which the company deemed unacceptable. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CALVING ISSUES

Preparing for calving emergencies ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

C

alving season can bring with it medical emergencies requiring quick action. Here are some problems that producers might face.

Herniated intestines: Calves are occasionally born with their intestines herniating out through the umbilical area.

Surgery can save these calves if they are taken to a clinic as quickly as possible. I suggest hog tying the calf, rolling it on its back so that more of the intestines don’t herniate out, and placing a wet towel around the area to keep the intestines moist.

Phone ahead to the clinic. Once there, the veterinarian can quickly determine whether a completed surgery has a decent chance of success.

The prognosis is much better if there are no other abnormalities and the intestines are in good shape with little contamination.

Allergic reactions: Producers should have an emergency kit of drugs and epinephrine so that they are prepared for allergic reactions with severe difficulty breathing.

Scours: This is the most common malady during calving season.

Calves may need immediate attention if oral electrolytes can’t keep up with severe dehydration and the eyes are visibly sunken.

Treatment involves warm intravenous fluids, but these calves are shocky and usually have a depressed body temperature, which means they will also need to be warmed up using heat lamps, forced air calf heaters, hot water bottles, hot water baths or warm water enemas.

Drenching with warm milk or electrolytes starts warming things up from the inside out. However, make sure the calves have enough reflex to swallow the feeding tube before trying this method.

Producers should disinfect all areas that the calf has come into contact with and isolate the calf and its mother until scours has ceased.

Cuts: Treating injuries with cuts and bleeding will depend on how much blood loss has occurred.

Blood transfusions are given on rare occasions, usually the mother’s blood because cattle have so many blood types.

Suturing cuts can wait a few hours, but the quicker a wound is sutured, the better it will heal.

Sterile Lube can be put in the wound to keep it moist and protected and prevent contamination.

Good suture materials and anesthetics are available, so wounds will

do much better and heal quicker if sutured and/or bandaged.

Digestive troubles: Grain overload, carbohydrate engorgement and ruminal acidosis are usually caused by overeating grain.

It usually occurs when rations are mixed up or sick cattle get back on feed. Emergency slaughter may be required if too much carbohydrate has been consumed, but treatments are also possible in less severe cases.

Veterinarians can do a rumenotomy to remove rumen contents, but the vast majority are drenched with an antacid and other medications. The quicker the carbohydrate is removed or neutralized the better.

Autopsies: A dead animal can indicate poisoning, toxemia or severe respiratory distress. An autopsy can prevent further cases.

Most large animal veterinarians are good at doing post mortems and make a diagnosis immediately. They can also suggest preventive treatment.

Tissues become autolytic quickly in summer and freeze in winter, so contact the vet quickly.

Autopsies are particularly important in neurologic cases because diseases such as rabies, lead poisoning, polio and nervous coccidiosis must be ruled out.

Animal welfare expert Dr. Temple Grandin will speak in Saskatoon, Sask., on March 11. Photo: Rosalie Winard.

Animal welfare is an integral part of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s makeup, but over the past five decades, it’s been one area of research and education that hasn’t involved the general public and has kept a relatively low profile.

That profile will get a major boost on Tuesday evening, March 11, when Dr. Temple Grandin helps the WCVM launch its new animal welfare fund at Saskatoon’s TCU Place.

Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, is considered the most accomplished and well-known person with autism in the world. Besides supporting the fund’s debut, the international expert on livestock handling and design will share her vision of animal behaviour, animal welfare and autism with her audience.

Dr. Joe Stookey, a professor of animal behaviour at WCVM, says Grandin’s trademark directness allows her to speak openly about animal welfare — and that has given her credibility. “She’s able to be friends with livestock producers and the general public even when those two groups sometimes may be misaligned. All people accept her as a very credible voice.”

The new fund will advance the field of animal welfare among the WCVM community and the general public, and its focus includes food animals as well as horses and pets. Its activities will help to focus more attention on critical issues in animal welfare and contribute potential solutions through research.

Donors — including Boehringer Ingelheim, one of the fund’s first supporters — may support research on anything from wound healing and pain control to animal management, housing and protocols for veterinary care.

“So many of the research studies conducted at the WCVM already touch on different aspects of animal welfare,” says Stookey.

“This fund will only help us to raise the profile of a very significant area.”

Tickets ($15 per person) for Grandin’s presentation are available online: https://tcutickets.ca/Online/Temple. For more details about the new WCVM Animal Welfare Fund, visit www.usask.ca/wcvm/ animalwelfare.

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An Alberta company is looking for good agricultural technology companies in which to invest.

AVAC, an early stage investment company, recently launched Verdex Capital, which will focus on investing in agriculture technology companies.

Verdex Capital is overseeing the Canadian operations of Finistere Ventures’ FVII Fund.

It will travel to conferences and industry events over the next few months to identify possible investment opportunities for the fund, which is expected to eventually total $150 million.

“We’re looking for game changers,” said Michael Raymont, AVAC’s chief executive officer.

Raymont said the new fund is not looking to invest in new companies that create small incremental changes to agriculture.

Instead, it wants technology that will make a significant impact on agriculture.It hopes to soon close a deal to invest in a company with the potential to increase oil yields in soybeans 30 percent.

“We want technology that will last a long time.”

A new non-antibiotic that prevents respiratory disease in cattle is another technology that may turn out to be a good investment for Verdex. Some consumers may be willing to pay 25 to 30 percent more for meat with no antibiotics, he said.

Another possibility is technology to improve supply chain efficiencies to reduce food waste from field to fork.

The money for the first phase of the fund has come from AVAC, Finistere Ventures of San Diego, California, Bayer Crop Sciences and an unnamed multinational player.

“It is one of the top three global food and beverage companies in the world,” Raymont said of the un-

named company.

He wouldn’t say how much money has already been raised but said enough of the $150 million is available to begin investing in agriculture technology companies. The partners have one year to raise the rest of the money.

The fund will focus on investments in Canada and the United States, but 20 percent of the money will be dedicated to international agricultural investment.

“Now that the fund is closed, they’re on the hunt for companies to invest in,” said Arleigh Vasconcellos, an AVAC communications specialist.

“We’re looking at crop science, animal husbandry, vertical farming, yield improvement, really any sort of technology or innovation within the agricultural technology space that allows for improved efficiency, greater crop yields, better energy consumption and management.”

Vasconcellos said it wasn’t difficult to raise capital for investment in agriculture technology.

“This has become quite an exciting area,” she said.

“Agriculture technology is a real growth area. It is an area that is garnering a lot of interest in the last several years. It is definitely something that people are interested in and they see it as a place to be able to make some good returns.”

Raymont said the first priority will be to look for companies that will maximize the financial return of their investors.

The second will be investing in companies that will make a difference to agriculture.

“We’re making money and doing something useful and good,” he said.

AVAC also invests in early-stage agriculture business, information and communication technologies.

TRANSFORMATION

Maple Leaf reduces fourth quarter loss Fundamental flaws of independent culture REUTERS AND STAFF

MANAGING THE FARM

BOB TOSH, Bsc., PAg

M

ost of the farmers I have met are proud people who are fiercely independent and resent outside influence.

They see advisers and professionals as parasites whose only goal is to take away their hard-earned money while providing nothing of substance in return.

However, as a result of this independence, I have also seen many potentially successful farm business transitions rattling through from one disaster to another until they inevitably collapse.

Part of the problem is that these farm businesses are still trying to run along traditional lines with no guidance to help them understand why things might not be working. Believing that what worked in the past will work in the future is naĂŻve. Everyone needs to recognize that the game has changed.

A good family adviser once told me that if we use sports as an analogy for running a business, then the founding generation was playing tennis and for the most part, was good at it.

They understood the rules and knew how to keep score. It was a fairly straightforward game between two people.

However, the introduction of the next generation meant that the game had to change. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say that the new game is baseball, with more people, a bigger pitch, a different bat and a different ball. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play baseball with tennis rules. You need to learn the new rules. This is where you need help. You need a coach to teach you the new rules.

I typically see farm businesses in transition struggling with the concepts of governance, leadership, strategic planning and decision making.

I see them challenged by the idea of creating legal agreements and struggling with the challenges of assigning roles and responsibilities.

Communication often remains a major stumbling block, and the issues of fairness and compensation almost always remain unresolved.

Financial management, inventory management, marketing and human resources all need a greater level of attention than the previous generation faced. This is where outside help can make things easier.

However, perhaps the greatest challenge is in understanding the role of outside help.

It shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to provide all of the answers because if it does, implementation will likely fail.

As with any good coach, advisers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play the game for you, but they can guide you.

True, there are some things that require an expert opinion, but for the most part, these arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the things with which family farms struggle.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the soft skill issues that cause problems for family farms, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s these issues that require a collaborative approach with a skilled adviser who understands the concept.

If you are about to transition the farm or you are in a transition that is struggling to move forward, then perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to let go of some of that independence.

Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get a coach.

Maple Leaf Foods has reported a smaller quarterly loss as it works through a plan to close older packing plants.

The company, which is one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest pork processors, is nearing the end of a multi-year program to upgrade its meat operations as it seeks to boost profits and better compete with U.S. rivals.

The company last week closed a large plant in Kitchener, Ont., leaving only one plant in Toronto left to shut.

Chief executive officer Michael McCain said 2014 was a pivotal year for the company.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our seven year journey of investment and development headlined by the rebuilding of our supply network, is nearing its end.â&#x20AC;?

The fourth quarter net loss from continuing operations narrowed to $23 million from $47.9 million a year ago.

The adjusted loss was $13.7 million, compared to $56 million a year earlier. Revenue increased six percent to $794 million because of price increases. The net loss from continuing operations for the full year was $213.8 million, compared to a net loss of $141.4 million in 2013.

For the year, the meat products group had an adjusted operating loss of $80.381 million, an improve-

ment over the loss of $86.192 million in 2013.

T h e a g r i b u s i n e s s g ro u p ha d adjusting operating earnings of $8.642 million, an improvement over a loss of $38.258 million.

Since beginning the transition in 2010, Maple Leaf has completed seven of eight planned plant closures and completed the expansion of three plants. It consolidated 17 distribution centres into two and built a 400,000 square foot state-of the-art processing facility in Hamilton, Ont. It has also sold its bread business, its Rothsay rendering business, Olivieri Foods and Ontario turkey and chicken breeding operations.
