Pulse firm looks to sell assets

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A major player in Western Canada’s pulse sector says it is open to selling some or all of its assets.

Legumex Walker said its share value does not properly reflect the company’s inherent value, and it is time to explore alternatives, including strategic financing, mergers and sale of all or a portion of the company’s assets.

“We have received inquiries from a number of qualified parties that are interested in exploring various transactions with us in certain of our markets, including the specialty food ingredient market, and we expect that this process will unlock this value and allow the company to fully capitalize on these opportunities,” Legumex chair Bruch Scherr said in a news release.

Legumex operates 15 pulse and special crops processing facilities in Canada, the U.S. Midwest and China.

GRAIN MOVEMENT

CN official ‘proud of grain hauling achievements’ while shippers say unfilled orders are rising

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s largest railway says it continues to move grain at a record setting pace this year, despite complaints from grain shippers of inadequate service.

Canadian National Railway also said it has consistently met or exceeded weekly grain movement targets set by the federal government.

CN’s message differs considerably

from that of the Ag Transport Coalition, a group of Canadian grain shippers that claims to account for 90 percent of the grain that is moved by rail in Canada.

The coalition said Canada’s major railways are failing to deliver 10 percent of the grain cars requested by shippers.

Of those that are delivered, fewer than half are arriving in the scheduled week, coalition figures suggest.

“Contrary to recent claims made by the new Ag Transport Coalition that CN is somehow failing to meet demand, we know we’re responding very efficiently to all the demand from our customers,” CN said.

“The facts are clear, when we compare our shipments with all valid car orders, our wait list stands at less than 2,000 orders, just a few days worth of car supply.”

With railways and shipper groups offering two different versions of the

situation, Ottawa must assess the claims and determine where the truth lies.

Debate over what constitutes adequate rail service has become more heated in recent months as a federally appointed panel reviewing the Canada Transportation Act prepares to file an interim report to government.

CROSS BORDER MARKETING

North Dakota welcomes Paterson Grain

Price differentials between Canadian, U.S. elevators are starting to narrow

BY BRIAN CROSS

BY BRIAN CROSS

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Paterson Grain is expanding its network of grain handling facilities into the United States.

The Winnipeg grain company has been given a green light to build a new grain terminal at Bottineau, North Dakota, 60 kilometres south of Deloraine, Man., and 20 kilometres south of the Canada-U.S. border.

Officials in Bottineau confirmed March 12 that city councillors approved a conditional use permit that will allow Paterson to build a terminal and loop track siding on the south side of the city.

Reports say the project has an estimated price tag of $20 to $25 million, with construction expected to begin as early as this spring.

The grain company is expected to apply for building permits in the near future.

Paterson currently ranks as the fifth largest grain handling company in Canada with a total of 28 elevators in Western Canada and total storage capacity of nearly 550,000 tonnes. It has 13 elevators in Manitoba, 13 in Saskatchewan and two in Alberta.

The company did not immediately respond to Western Producer requests for additional information, but according to a news story published in a Bottineau newspaper, the Paterson facility will have a storage capacity of 1.37 million bushels, including two 630,000 bu. steel bins and 10 additional steel bins with capacity of nearly 11,000 bu. each.

“This facility … would represent the first move by Paterson into the U.S. market in its 107-year history,” Shane Paterson, Paterson’s corporate development officer, told the Bottineau Courant.

The facility will be used to receive both Canadian and U.S. grains and oilseeds, he added.

The proposed facility would be located on a spur line owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF).

The declining value of the Canadian dollar is providing attractive marketing opportunities for western Canadian farmers who don’t mind trucking their grain across the U.S. border.

The Canadian dollar has traded between US94 cents and 78 cents in the past 12 months, with some brokers offering rates as low as 75 cents.

That exchange rate has a lot of growers looking south for marketing opportunities.

Canadian grain companies have been gradually closing the price gap by adjusting cash bids at Canadian elevator locations close to the border. However, farmers who truck grain south can still cash in on attractive price premiums based on exchange rates.

Landon Friesen, a grain grower from southern Manitoba, said he will truck almost 9,000 tonnes of grain and oilseeds to nearby U.S. locations in 2014-15.

“It’s been a very good experience for us,” said Friesen.

“I know the paperwork can seem overwhelming at first, but once you’re set up … you’re good to go.”

Friesen’s farm is near Crystal, City, which is 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border.

His family has been hauling hay to the United States for years so they were accustomed to transporting bulk commodities across the international border long before it became legal to sell Canadian wheat in the U.S. With current exchange rates, Friesen estimated as much as 85 percent of his production will be delivered to U.S. elevators this year. “(The U.S. dollar) is so strong right now, and if we can get paid in U.S. funds and play the currency game, we’re way ahead. Even if they’re paying the same amount but in U.S. dollars, that’s 25 percent more because for us, it’s the same distance to go to some of these North Dakota elevators as it is for us to go to some of our

However, Friesen said differentials in cash bids between Canadian and American elevators are beginning to narrow.

Ron Brunel of Ste Rose, Man., 300 kilometres from the U.S. border, agreed.

“What we have seen in the past 12 months is that basis levels have changed … so it’s not as attractive to do this as it was, say, a year ago.”

He said the advantages of marketing in the United States are not entirely based on price.

Delivery opportunities are often more predictable at U.S. locations, especially for crops such as soybeans, which are still competing for capacity at many Canadian elevators. Brunel said he will move 45 loads of soybeans this year to North Dakota elevators at Gilby, Crystal

and Park City.

A round trip can sometimes cover 900 kilometres.

Brunel sells through a broker and receives payments in Canadian dollars, but the broker also pays for Brunel’s trucking at competitive commercial rates.

The necessary paperwork is printed before Brunel leaves home and is presented at the border crossing, which takes just a few minutes.

“It’s no more complicated than if you or I were crossing the border to

go shopping.”

Tyler Bjornson, president of the Canada Grains Council, said his organization has been working with U.S. groups to ensure that grain is moving freely across the border in both directions.

The council and relevant U.S. groups have compiled information at Canada-usgrainandseedtrade. info aimed at helping farmers move their products across the border.

Bjornson said regulations need to be modernized to ensure U.S. wheat that is marketed in Canada is graded fairly.

Provisions contained in Bill C-48 would help address these concerns, but it is unclear if the bill will be passed before the next federal election, scheduled for October. brian.cross@producer.com

CHICKEN FARMERS OF SASKATCHEWAN

U.S. avian flu outbreak halts Canadian producers’ bird, egg supply

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A case of avian influenza in the United States has shut down imports from a key state for the Canadian poultry industry.

On March 11, officials confirmed a case of H5N2 in Arkansas, an important source of broiler hatching eggs and genetics.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency had already prohibited imports of live birds, eggs and raw poultry products from Missouri, Minnesota, California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington following cases in those states.

“Usually we’d look at this and say it’s not a big issue. Minnesota, Missouri, whatever. The issue now with positive case in Arkansas is that’s

where we’re pulling our breeders from,” said Clinton Monchuk, chief executive officer of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan.

The CFIA gave public notice of the ban March 13.

“I’m pushing our government people to get as much information as they can as quickly as they can, but of course that has to be forthcoming from the U.S.,” said Robin Horel, president of the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council.

Horel said as much as 20 percent of broiler hatching eggs in Canadian barns come from the United States, with the vast majority arriving from Arkansas. These shipments occur regularly, which means hatcheries were already looking for new American sources last week.

Arkansas is also a key supplier of

parent stock for Canadian production.

Officials said the control zone could shrink, allowing for the resumption of some imports as early as this week.

However, other issues could delay that progression.

“At some point, when USDA can show containment, then CFIA may consider shrinking the zone from the state lines down to a geographical zone with natural barriers,” said Wayne Hiltz, executive director of Manitoba Chicken Producers.

“Of course, if it spreads or if new cases come out in the next few days, then the likelihood of that happening is probably less.”

Reuters reported March 16 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is developing new rules in Arkansas that will determine the length of a

quarantine. In previous avian influenza cases, farms required two negative tests administered 10 days apart to lift the control zone. However, the H5N2 strain seen in Arkansas and other recent cases is more virulent than past cases.

Monchuk told the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan annual meeting in Saskatoon last week that producers could see a shortage of breeder supply.

“It is unfortunate,” he said. “Hopefully, we can resolve the issue as soon as possible and they can shrink that control zone, but until they do we’re going to have to roll with the punches on this.”

Officials said it would take a prolonged ban to hinder production.

“The long-term concern is if some of our breeder producers are unable to get their day old pullets in,” said

Hiltz. “Then 26 weeks later, then we have a hole in our domestic breeder production.”

The Arkansas case involved a flock of 40,020 turkeys located along the Mississippi flyway, which is a bird migration route that also covers Minnesota and Missouri.

“Because these are being found in the Mississippi flyway, it’s like you can draw an arrow right up and just point it right at Manitoba and Saskatchewan,” said Monchuk. “Be very vigilant with your biosecurity.”

Hiltz said Manitoba producers were told to move to “alert biosecurity” earlier this week. The higher level of concern restricts some activities in and around barns and prohibits visitors. dan.yates@producer.com

» PULSE FIRM CON’T FROM PAGE ONE It also has an 84 percent interest in Pacific Coast Canola, a canola crush facility in Warden, Washington.

The Winnipeg firm posted a loss of $13.1 million for the first nine months of 2014.

A pulse industry observer who requested anonymity thinks the company’s struggles are related to its underused crush plant, which is capable of crushing 379,500 tonnes of canola annually.

“That plant has struggled to hit the ground running. There were some questions early on about whether that location made sense,” he said.

The plant is located close to end use markets for the oil and meal, but it is situated a long way from where canola is produced.

Farmers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho planted 97,000 acres of canola in 2014, accounting for less than six percent of the U.S. crop.

So the company has been forced to bring in canola from North Dakota, Alberta and Saskatchewan, which hasn’t proven easy because of disappointing crops and rail transportation problems.

“It’s not like they’re completely down and out, but they could have avoided this I guess if some of those other stars had aligned,” said the industry observer.

He said the competition for canola seed is going to get more intense with a new Bunge plant being built in Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., a new Cargill plant opening in Camrose this summer and an expansion of the Richardson International plant taking place in Lethbridge.

The pulse industry follower believes Legumex got into the canola business as an attempt to diversify and attract investor interest, but the venture has backfired.

“They really don’t want to be left with just the canola crush plant. I think that’s the asset they’d like to get rid of,” he said. “If they can find a buyer for that, then they may hang onto the special crops part of the business and focus on that.”

He thinks there might be some interest in the crush plant from the world’s largest canola customer.

“This would be pure speculation, but a Chinese buyer for a canola crush plant wouldn’t be real weird,” he said.

AGT Food and Ingredients is a possible buyer for the pulse and special crops assets.

The Legumex news release mentioned the company has made a strategic shift into the high-value specialty food ingredient market.

That is a part of the pulse and special crops business that is of huge interest to AGT, which has driven up its share value exponentially by diversifying into the food ingredient manufacturing side of the pulse business.

CWB is in the market for grain industry assets, but the pulse observer thinks Legumex’s pulse processing plants may be too niche for the company’s needs. However, he believes there would be no shortage of U.S. or overseas companies wanting to get a foothold in Western Canada.

Tim Wiens, chair of Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, said his only concern is that growers continue to have the Legumex outlets as delivery options for their crops.

The pulse observer expects the pulse and special crops side of the business to remain intact no matter who owns them.

“That part of the business is sound,” he said. “But if they could get rid of that canola crush plant, that would be a weight off their shoulders.” sean.pratt@producer.com

» SHIPPERS, CON’T FROM PAGE ONE Last week, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the federally appointed CTA review panel headed

by David Emerson is expected to file the report before the federal election scheduled for Oct. 19.

Shippers, farm groups and railway companies are aggressively promoting their views in an effort to influence the political process.

Last week, federal transportation minister Lisa Raitt confirmed that CN has paid a $100,000 fine for failing last fall to meet one of Ottawa’s weekly grain hauling targets.

However, she also said CN and Canadian Pacific Railway have been consistently meeting their weekly targets.

One year has passed since Ottawa issued an order in council requiring Canada’s major railway companies to move minimum amounts of prairie grain each week or face fines as high as $100,000 for non-compliance.

CN said it has exceeded Ottawa’s cumulative mandated tonnage by almost 2.5 million tonnes, or 10 percent since the first federal order was put in place.

“We are very proud of CN’s grain hauling achievements, setting new records basically every month over the last year,” said CN president Claude Mongeau.

Mongeau made his statement a few days after the Ag Transport Coalition suggested that CN and CP have delivered 192,000 of the 215,000 grain cars that grain shippers have ordered in the current crop year.

Unfilled car orders now stand at more than 22,000 cars, or 11 percent of total shipper demand for the 201415 crop year, the coalition said.

Unfilled orders include car orders that are still outstanding (11,000), cancelled (6,000), rejected (2,000) and denied (2,000).

“The number of hopper car orders not filled by both CN and CP has continued to increase each week since the beginning of the crop year,” the coalition said in its Week 28 report.

“Overall, unfulfilled orders have levelled off … (but) the railways are not making up ground for prior week shortfalls.”

Saskatchewan groups, including the Saskatchewan Wheat Commission, the Saskatchewan Barley Commission, the Saskatchewan Pulse

Growers Association and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan have also waded into the debate.

In a March 10 news release, they renewed their call for Ottawa to conduct a rail full costing review, suggesting CN and CP are generating more profits than ever hauling prairie grain.

The Saskatchewan groups said the Canada Transportation Agency should use information gleaned from the review to establish new regulatory caps on rail freight rates for grain.

Ottawa has not conducted a full rail service costing review since the early 1990s.

APAS president Norm Hall and other Saskatchewan farm leaders said Ottawa should retain railway revenue caps, or maximum revenue entitlements, but adjust the formulas used to calculate the caps to account for elevator closures and other changes that have occurred in the rail transportation environment during the past 20 to 25 years.

In its submission to the CTA review panel, CP recommended complete removal of railway revenue caps.

It also wants Ottawa to eliminate “anti-commercial provisions,” such as those contained in Bill C-30, and a move toward a fully deregulated rail transportation environment.

Ottawa passed Bill C-30, also known as the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act, last May. The act: • Allows Ottawa to specify minimum weekly grain volumes to be moved

by CP and CN. • Increases the interswitching limits in the prairie provinces from 30 to 160 kilometres for all commodities.

• Gives the Canadian Transportation Agency the authority to order a railway to compensate customers for expenses incurred.

“Simply stated, they (the anticommercial provision in Bill C-30) lack any sound evidentiary or policy foundation,” CP wrote in its CTA submission.

“These provisions are actions of the federal government to further regulate the rail industry. They will not promote the investment and supply chain coordination that is needed to improve supply chain efficiency and capacity.” brian.cross@producer.com

SARM — LAWSUIT DELAYED

SARM coming around on pasture issues Delegates confident SARM directors will push province on returning federal pastures to rural municipalities

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s rural municipalities are going to try the diplomacy route with the province rather than the courts to resolve a simmering dispute over pastureland.

The RM of Reno withdrew its resolution calling on the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities to launch a class action lawsuit against the province for failing to return federal pastures to RMs after the community pasture program ended.

The lawsuit resolution was origi-

nally passed at the 2014 annual convention, when SARM was instructed to lobby the province on the issue and to initiate a class action lawsuit if the province didn’t take the necessary action by Aug. 31, 2014.

Paul Heglund, councillor with the RM of Reno, said SARM didn’t come

close to following the intent of that resolution, but he believes it is now fully committed to lobbying the government.

“We’ll back off for a while and see if they’re going to be helpful,” he said.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The turning point was a meeting about the pastureland issue at last week’s convention that attracted about 60 RMs and a few SARM directors.

It became clear at that meeting that SARM would now be taking the issue seriously and would be lobbying the province to come to some sort of agreement with the affected RMs. “We were really amazed at the support we had there,” said Heglund.

“It sounded like SARM had got the message that this was a very important matter. It sounded like they’re going to begin to co-operate with us, so we thought that we don’t really need this irritating resolution.”

The pastureland issue was also raised during a bear pit session with the provincial cabinet.

Fred Baran, councillor for the RM of Dundurn, urged the province to reconsider its stance to sell or lease to pasture patrons the 62 Saskatchewan pastures comprising 1.7 million acres of farmland.

He said the pastureland in the former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration program came from the RMs and should be returned to them as originally agreed upon.

Prime minister Stephen Harper fielded questions from Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb during the association’s annual meeting in Saskatoon last week. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTO LYLE STEWART AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the department’s legal council has reviewed the minutes of Land Utilization Board meetings from 1936-63.

“They found no contractual agreements or evidence of them between the Land Utilization Board and RMs for land to be reverted back to the RMs,” he said.

“While there are hints in some of the minutes that some RMs believe that was maybe going to be the case, there has been no evidence of any actual agreements that were made.”

Baran said the RMs can’t provide a formal agreement because a lot of deals were done by handshake in the 1930s.

“I would certainly like to see the government take the high road and do what Manitoba did,” he said.

Manitoba Agriculture helped fund the creation of the Association of Manitoba Community Pastures and is providing the pastureland to the association lease-free.

Heglund said the RMs are not looking for a land grab. They simply want to ensure that the pastures continue to exist to support cow-calf operations.

“What we want to do is to allow the cattle industry to continue. If they close these pastures, a lot of ranches will have to fold up,” he said.

However, he doesn’t think the province will give up the pastureland without a fight, which is why the RMs want SARM’s financial assistance in case a class action lawsuit becomes necessary.

Four RMs have each contributed $25,000 to a legal fund.

“We’d prefer the province would sit down and talk. The court action may be the only way to get them to the table,” said Heglund.

The RMs will draft a new resolution for SARM’s midterm convention and hope to get unanimous support for it. sean.pratt@producer.com

SARM — POLITICS

SARM delegate critical of leader ‘bowing down’ to province Resolution insists board of directors act as non-partisan advocates

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s rural municipalities think their association is getting too cozy with the provincial government.

Delegates passed a resolution at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual meeting instructing the organization’s board of directors to be non-partisan when advocating on behalf of its membership.

Paul Heglund, councillor for the RM of Reno, said there have been too many instances of SARM not following through with resolutions.

He accused the association of becoming too intertwined with the provincial government, like the way it administers many programs on behalf of the province.

“No one can serve two masters, no matter what the rationalization is,” Heglund said when speaking to the resolution put forward by his RM. “Over the last few years, directors have become partisan in their politics.”

Heglund said SARM failed to act on a resolution passed at last year’s annual convention to launch a class action lawsuit against the province for not returning federal pastureland to RMs after the program ended.

He said it is not the first time SARM has failed to properly follow through on resolutions.

“It’s good to have a smooth rela-

Over the last few years, directors have become partisan in their politics.

tionship (with the province), but we don’t want it to the point where it starts becoming partisan, that they pick and choose what they do according to how it pleases government,” Heglund said in an interview following his address to delegates.

He said the association is supposed to represent the views of its membership to the province rather than the other way around.

“They’re bowing down to the province more than they should,” said Heglund.

The issue came to a head last fall during the midterm convention when SARM’s president at the time, David Marit, announced he was seeking the Saskatchewan Party nomination in Wood River.

Heglund said Marit should have immediately stepped down from his position or the rest of the board should have forced him to resign.

Marit said he was within his rights to stay on as SARM president. The

association’s constitution says directors must resign only after they win a nomination, which is what Marit did after he won.

“I did everything according to the constitution of the organization,” Marit said in an interview at the convention.

He said it is important for SARM to have a good working relationship with the province.

“It’s a lot better for the organization and the membership to be inside those doors instead of outside and not getting in,” said Marit.

“Can you ever get too close to government? I don’t think you can ever get too close as long as you’re dealing with your issues in a respectful manner.”

Marit said SARM had a problem with the class action lawsuit resolution because it was going to be timeconsuming and costly.

“Our lawyers are totally tied up in liability issues. That’s what we hired

our lawyers for, was to deal with liability issues against municipalities,” he said. “They’re overloaded. In fact, they’re contracting out. (They were) never intended to take on other issues.”

The board also didn’t think it was fair that the majority of the RMs that didn’t have any federal pastures should be funding a lawsuit for the minority that did.

“I’m not saying their issue isn’t serious. It is serious. It’s important to them. But I think there was a better way to deal with it than (the lawsuit),” said Marit.

He said SARM met with the seven municipalities that were pushing for the lawsuit, and six of them agreed they would handle it on their own without dragging SARM into the issue. Marit believed the case had been resolved until it resurfaced at this year’s convention.

Current SARM president Ray Orb said the board of directors isn’t in bed with the province.

“We don’t have any ties to the provincial government and we don’t agree with everything that the province does,” he said.

“But if the RMs perceive that we are too close, then we have to correct the way that we’re perceived by municipalities. Simple as that.” sean.pratt@producer.com FOR MORE FROM SARM, SEE PAGE 15

FERTILIZER PRICES

INPUTS

Breaking down nitrogen prices Fertilizer makers used to price based on cost of production, but now price off world markets

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A medium pepperoni and mushroom pizza can be purchased for about $10 in Western Canada, but the total value of the flour, cheese, meat and sauce is likely a fraction of that price.

Farmers frustrated by the discrepancy between natural gas prices and the cost of nitrogen fertilizer may want to keep that pizza analogy in mind, says a former fertilizer and agriculture industry executive.

“I empathize with growers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the upper Midwest because nitrogen fertilizer is short in that area … but the market is the market,” said Don Pottinger, a former president of Saskferco who also worked for Simplot in Brandon and was a vice-president of Agco, a U.S. farm equipment maker.

Pottinger said natural gas is the key ingredient in producing nitrogen fertilizer, but like the pizza business, prices aren’t based on the cost of ingredients.

“You don’t walk in (to a restaurant) and say your ingredients are only 80 cents, (so) I’m going to give you 80 cents for your pizza,” said Pottinger, who is now chief executive officer of Northern Plains Nitrogen, a proposed $2 billion fertilizer plant in Grand Forks, North Dakota.

“It’s a world economy we live in, and nitrogen fertilizer is probably the best example of how global dynamics influence local pricing.”

The price of nitrogen fertilizer used to be tied to natural gas prices, but David Ripplinger, an agribusiness and applied economics assistant professor at North Dakota State University, said that ended when corn prices spiked in the mid to late 2000s.

“A decade ago, nitrogen fertilizer production was not a business you wanted to be in. They were selling at the cost of production, and a lot of (companies) were going out of busi-

Fertilizer price transparency ‘non-existent’

Farmers would like more information to help determine what is a fair fertilizer price | FILE PHOTO ness,” said Ripplinger, who wrote an economic feasibility study for the Northern Plains plant.

“The fertilizer folks (now) price to the market, so it has nothing to do with the cost of production.”

Farmers may not like the disconnect between natural gas and fertilizer prices, but obsessing about it and demanding lower prices won’t change anything, Ripplinger said.

“Knowing about their margins is just going to make you upset. There isn’t much you can do about it,” he said. “It’s just good economics.

They’re not (here) to break even.

They (exist) to make money.”

Pottinger agreed, saying corporations ser ve customers but also answer to shareholders.

“How would you like to address a shareholders meeting and say the price of (natural) gas is down…. We could sell what we produce for more money, but we don’t think we will.”

The proposed Northern Plains Nitrogen plant is, in some sense, a farmer protest against fertilizer prices. The North Dakota Corn Growers Association came up with the idea of building a plant to increase fertilizer supply in the northern Plains.

FERTILIZER LINKED TO CROP PRICES In the past, the cost of natural gas had a significant influence on nitrogen fertilizer prices but since the agricultural boom that began in the mid 2000s they are more closely aligned with crop prices and what the market will bear. This graph shows five years of urea prices. The peak in 2012 was related to soaring corn prices caused by the U.S. Midwest drought.

The Alberta Wheat Commission launched a program this winter to make Canada’s grain market more transparent.

A Manitoba farmer is now arguing that farmers might need a similar information portal for another agricultural commodity: fertilizer.

“I think every farmer would want more transparency in this market,” said Dustin Williams, who farms near Souris.

Like many farmers, Williams calls fertilizer retailers in his region to gather information and negotiates a price with a dealer of his choice.

This informal system may lead to a reasonable price for urea or anhydrous ammonia, but “reasonable price” often depends on what other people are paying.

Williams said access to information on fertilizer prices outside of his area would help him negotiate the best possible deal with local distributors.

Alberta Agriculture publishes monthly average prices for farm inputs on its website, including prices for urea and anhydrous ammonia, but the Manitoba and Saskatchewan governments do not.

Bob Friesen, vice-president government affairs with Farmers of North America, a farm business alliance with more than 10,000 farmer members in Canada, said the issue is much larger than a lack of information on retail prices. He said the entire fertilizer trade is difficult to decode.

“There is no price transparency (for fertilizer),” he said. “It’s non-existent.”

Friesen said farmers can call around to local fertilizer retailers, but information on the industry is scarce.

“Typically, farmers wouldn’t know what the cost of producing a tonne of fertilizer is,” he said. “They wouldn’t know what the blending and handling margins might be, or what the retail margin might be. That information just isn’t available.”

Friesen said multiple factors affect fertilizer pricing, and some of them don’t make sense.

GLOBAL WARMING

Canada sitting pretty in climate change scenarios While other regions suffer, Western Canada could use its land, water and energy resources to prosper

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

BANFF, Alta. — Prime minister Stephen Harper might have described Canada as an “energy superpower,” but Yale economist Vikram Mansharamani appears to see it as more of a future food superpower.

Mansharamani said Canada and the United States can both prosper and supply the needs of a world with booming population growth and an expanding ability to buy imported food but also dwindling access to cheap fertilizer and likely lower crop yields because of climate change.

“North America looks great. Canada looks spectacular. This is a big opportunity,” Mansharamani told the Canola Council of Canada’s annual convention in Banff March 5.

“You want to have abundant energy. You want plentiful water. You want to have fertile land. You need a temperate climate.… Given this collection of ingredients, it’s spectacular that we live here in North America.

We are actually extraordinarily wellpositioned for what could be a chaotic future.”

Mansharamani said Western Canada appears to have the “winning combination:” fertile soil, water supplies, fertilizer and energy combined with a low population and a climate that will be in the rare situation of likely benefitting from global warming.

“It’s (climate change) going to crush productivity in India and Africa … (but Western) Canada’s a net beneficiary of global warming.”

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE He attended a sugar beet growers meeting this winter in Taber, Alta., where he spoke to a farmer about nutrients. “(He) said, ‘it doesn’t matter that I’m getting my fertilizer from a local supplier, they are now increasing the price because the Canadian dollar has dropped.’ ” Gary Smart, a Manitoba Agriculture business management specialist in Somerset, said farmers should dedicate more time to fertilizer prices because it is the most expensive input for grain production.

“Typically, fertilizer accounts for roughly 30 percent of total operating costs for most crops,” he said at a recent young farmers conference in Brandon. “The timing of fertilizer (purchase) is probably just as important as keeping track of where the commodity markets are.”

For example, Williams said he will spend more than $120,000 this year

Yale economist Vikram Mansharamani said Western Canada’s weather could improve and be a ‘net beneficiary of global warming. | ED WHITE PHOTO Others, such as the Worldwatch Institute’s Lester Brown, paint a grim picture of the coming world situation, with depleting water resources and increasing world temperatures bursting a “food bubble” of high productivity that is possible now but will evaporate.

“Civilization as we know it can’t withstand the stresses of continuing with business as usual,” Brown said

in a February 2011 New Scientist opinion piece.

“We’ve got to move, almost on a war footing, to cut carbon emissions, eradicate poverty, stabilize populations. We must also restore the economy’s natural support systems: forests and aquifers and soils.”

Mansharamani said climate change is likely to give the Canadian Prairies the weather that is now experienced

on nitrogen fertilizer for his 5,000acre farm.

He may want to install a smartphone app for crop input prices to potentially lower that cost next year.

FNA launched an app last spring called AgPriceBook, where Canadian farmers can post prices on fertilizer, herbicide, inoculants and other inputs.

“Farmers need more tools for cost competitiveness by discovering what prices are in other locations, including other provinces and across the country,” Friesen said last April.

“The more we can do for farmers to learn about and compare prices, the better off they are.”

A representative of Push Interactions, the app developer, said 1,000 to 2,000 people have downloaded the AgPriceBook app.

The political chaos in eastern Ukraine and the food riots that occur when food prices rise show how political stability can vanish.

Countries such as Iran could emerge from present stagnation and begin growing, which would spur even more demand, or they could slip deeper into a morass.

China’s economic slowdown could go deeper than expected and cut its food demand, although Mansharamani thinks it is much more likely to increase, even as its demand for industrial commodities slips.

“This thesis could be completely wrong,” said Mansharamani.

Some analysts believe that new and better-applied technologies and innovations can create massive gains in productivity, even in a world of challenging environmental conditions and political instability.

Futurist Jack Uldrich, the author of books looking at trends that he thinks will shape the future, presented a bullish picture of agricultural potential to the canola council conference.

He focused on nanotechnology, robotics, computer-device-object interconnection and 3D printing, which could radically increase the efficiency and output of most industries, particularly agriculture.

He said it would allow farmers to produce much more with the same resources, land, labour and technology than is possible now.

That revolution is just beginning to occur, Uldrich added.

BEEF

Ranchers unlikely to hold onto heifers and pursue expansion

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The lucrative cattle market is prompting cow-calf producers to sell their heifers for slaughter instead of retaining them for herd expansion.

However, those with confidence that prices will hold may be sharpening their pencils as they consider heifer retention.

Ben Hamm, a business development specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, examined the costs of retaining heifers to provide guidance to cattle producers making those decisions.

He said he did the analysis “just because of the extra cost this year to retain heifers, just due to the opportunity costs of that heifer, that 550 pound heifer calf. That’s what’s adding the cost of the replacement heifer so high, is the cost of that heifer at 550 pounds. So we’re giving up revenue if we’re keeping this replacement heifer back.”

Hamm used $245 per hundredweight in his calculations, but market prices rose two weeks after he made them in early March. Using his original figure, Hamm calculated the cost of developing a 2014 heifer into a pregnancy-checked female in fall 2015 at $2,201.07 per head.

“I thought it was a good time for us to really look at what it costs them to keep back heifers, and keep in mind the calculations I do show here only

Ben Hamm of Manitoba Agriculture says it can cost a producer $2,200 to keep back a heifer today. | FILE PHOTO take it into the fall of pregnancy.”

Winter feeding until the heifer drops a calf would be added to the cost, said Hamm.

“It’s going to cost you about $2,200 to keep that heifer back. Or do you buy bred cows at $2,000?,” he said.

“I want them to think a little bit about that.”

Feed, pasture and operating costs are factored into Hamm’s analysis of the break-even point, though he acknowledged that every operation is slightly different.

“There’s a lot of things that do come into play here. It gets pretty complicated, and we don’t see the young guys in the industry all excited about this one year profitability when we’ve had 10 years of losses,” he said.

Alberta Agriculture beef and forage specialist Ken Ziegler agreed, saying

AGROLOGISTS IN THE DIGITAL WORLD 2015 Annual Convention

it’s a matter of confidence.

“You would think that with the powerful calf prices that we’ve been having, that people should be keeping heifers back left and right,” he said.

“But they’re not. The reason they’re not is they don’t have the confidence yet that this investment of this $1,200 heifer calf is actually going to be paying off some day as a brood cow.”

Ziegler said cow-calf producers have delayed equipment purchases and other improvements during the lean years since 2003.

Current prices might allow them to make those purchases. He doubts there will be much cow herd expansion at the ranch level until high cattle prices become “the new normal.”

“If we’ve got four or five years of $1,200 heifers, it’s the new normal,”

he said.

“And then I start feeling more confident or indifferent to the risks that it could go sideways. Right now, we’re at a stage where this is too good to be true.”

However, Ziegler said another sector might consider heifer retention.

Feedlots have bought heifers and fed them over the winter. Now they have a choice of feeding them out to finish or breeding them and selling them later as bred heifers.

“They’re in a very different place than the cow-calf guy. Their question is, ‘with this investment that I’ve got, where can I make the most amount of money?’ ” he said.

“The feedlots’ perspective is, ‘should I keep her for another 90 or 120 days to

finish her, or should I keep her for 100 to 180 days, which is not that much longer, and sell her as a bred?’ Inventory is leaving the yard either way.”

As always in the sector, it comes down to risk calculations.

For example, feedlots can forward sell their heifers into the slaughter market and make $25 per head. Or, they could forfeit that security, feed the heifers longer, sell them as bred animals and potentially make $300.

The risk may be greater for cow-calf producers.

Hamm said the Western Livestock Price Insurance program provides some protection, but it is short term. barb.glen@producer.com

CALCUATING COSTS With cattle prices up and feed costs down, many producers are contemplating keeping heifer calves to raise to become bred heifers. But does this make good economic sense? Producers must know their costs to help them calculate their break evens. Ben Hamm of Manitoba Agriculture has provided this example of the costs of raising a replacement heifer.

Feed costs ($/head) Ground barley (224 days x 6.50 lb./heifer/day ÷ 48 lb./bu x $3.25/bu.) 98.58 Hay (224 days x 18.10 lb./heifer/day ÷ 2000 lb./ton x $80/ton) 162.18 Supplements (salt, minerals, vitamins, ionophore) (224 days x 1 lb./heifer/day ÷ 2000 lb./ton x $450/ton) 50.40 TOTAL FEED COSTS $311.16 Other operating costs ($/head) heifer cost* breeding cost straw veterinary medicine & supplies annual fuel & repair costs utilities replacement heifer selling cost insurance manure removal pasture costs barn & office supplies death loss Subtotal operating costs Operating interest TOTAL OPERATING COSTS

BREAK-EVEN CALCULATIONS • If the intended sale price of the bred heifer is $2,100, to break even and cover total cost, the purchase price of a 550 lb. heifer can be $231.87/cwt.

• If an operation is only intending to cover operating cost, the amount spent for that 550 lb. heifer can be $254.95/cwt.

• If the intent is to cover operating and labour costs, the amount spent for that 550 lb. heifer calf can be $247.07 cwt.

• To cover operating and fixed cost, the amount paid for that 550 lb. heifer can be $239.75.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 19, 2015

CANFAX REPORT FED MARKET STRONG The fed market tone strengthened this week, and a few more cash cattle were on offer.

However, sale volumes were limited as packers guarded margins with disciplined bids.

Weekly sale volumes were too small to establish a market trend, but the tone was stronger and mirrored Ontario fed trade, where prices were steady to $4 per hundredweight higher.

A handful of steers traded to the United States at US$265 per cwt. rail grade, which should settle out at the feedlot in the mid C$190s on a live basis.

Light volume trade was reported free on board the feedlot at around a $325 delivered rail grade.

A few cash cattle in Kansas traded at US$161 late last week, which was steady with the previous week.

Feedlots in other parts of the U.S. Plains held out for at least $163 per cwt.

Canadian feedlots are current in their marketing, and most cattle could actually use more days on feed.

Feedlots were content to carry over cattle to the following week when packers showed little interest in the offerings.

The weekly cash-to-futures basis weakened a little to about -$1.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to March 7 fell two percent to 32,054 head. Slaughter is running at the same pace as last year at this time.

Weekly fed cattle exports to Feb. 28 rose five percent to 4,748 head.

Market-ready numbers should increase modestly during the next couple of weeks but feedlots have good leverage, which will allow them to manage marketings.

Struggling cut-out values could

TIMOTHY HAY

reduce American buying interest, but that is offset by the weakening Canadian dollar.

COW PRICES SET RECORD D1, D2 cows ranged C$134-$151 to average $144 per cwt., up about $4.

D3 cows ranged $120-$136 to average $128.13.

Rail grade cows were $273-$277.

Alberta D1, D2 cow prices have risen more than nine percent since the beginning of the year, while Ontario prices have gained 16 percent.

Butcher bulls traded at $154.94, up $2.75, which was $57 higher than the same time last year.

Bull exports to date total 10,772 head, down only one percent from last year, while cow exports are down 29 percent at 42,438 head.

FEEDERS STILL STRONG The western Canadian calf index established new highs March 12, while the western Canadian feeder index closed the week $4.50 stronger but remained $5 shy of highs set in early January.

Calves and light stockers looked steady by the end of last week, while heavier feeders appeared a touch softer.

Discounts are evident on heavier cattle and feeders carrying excessive tag.

Alberta feeders heavier than 900 pounds are trading at a $6 premium over eastern Canadian values.

Ontario buyers are still buying Alberta feeders but appear less aggressive.

Alberta feedlot demand on the Saskatchewan feeder market has been strong with a good portion of the heavier feeders going west.

A few producers have offered cattle for forward delivery over the past

couple of weeks. Late last week, 975 lb. steers were passed at $231 per cwt. for September delivery.

Alberta auction volumes were the largest seen this year, totalling slightly less than 38,000 head.

More assembled groups of cattle have been marketed than oneowner cattle over the past couple of weeks.

Weekly feeder exports to Feb. 28 totalled 11,406 head, which was 15 percent lower than the same time last year.

Feeder volumes are anticipated to peak over the next couple of weeks and drift lower moving into April.

Bred cows ranged $2,200-$3,200 per head, while bred heifers were $2,500-$3,500 per head.

US BEEF FALLS T h e U. S. C h o i c e c u t o u t w a s US$245.98, down $3.22, and Select fell 79 cents to $248.79.

With spring just around the corner, pent-up demand for grilling cuts is expected to lend support to the market.

Forage export outlook huge

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Water shortages will force Saudi Arabia to import 3.8 million tonnes of forage annually in coming years, and Canada could supply some of it, says an international forage broker.

Ed Shaw, president of International Quality Forage and Feed, told the March 12 meeting of the Alberta Forage Industry Network that within three years, Saudi Arabia will no longer allocate any of its limited water supplies to forage. It will have to import hay for its dairy cows, camels, goats and sheep.

“The very top end dairy hay they want, the 22 percent protein, very little of it will come from Canada,” said Shaw.

“But for the bulk of it, the camel, goat and sheep, (there is) huge potential. Huge potential.”

Shaw, who lived in Saudi Arabia for two years during the mid-1970s, said he is under contract to two Saudi companies that are looking for guaranteed, long-term forage supplies around the world.

He said the Middle East is also a developing market, as are India and Vietnam. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are mature forage markets.

China has huge potential as a market for Canada, but its zero tolerance for genetically modified material could be problematic.

Shaw said China’s forage demand doubles every year.

“I don’t know where the product is going to come from,” he said.

Australia shipped 100,000 tonnes of green feed into China recently, which Shaw said signals a Canadian opportunity to market timothy.

“Timothy is a much superior feed,” he said.

“We just need to find a good way to market and get the Chinese to accept, to understand timothy.”

Canada exports only one percent of its forage production because domestic use for livestock is so high.

Although there is great potential to tap international markets, Shaw said it is difficult to increase forage production to do that.

High cereal and oilseed prices discourage increased forage acres.

Also, growers can forward market those crops, and the crop insurance system is well established.

“It’s in its infancy in forages. They go by tonnes per acre, not the quality. And for export, you need the quality.”

Hay is also subject to steep quality losses because of weather, making it a risky crop to grow with the hope of selling internationally.

New competitors for forage markets include Argentina, South Africa, the former Soviet Union, Sudan and Ethiopia. barb.glen@producer.com

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOG PRICES FALL U.S. hog prices fell because hog supply was ample and pork faces several demand challenges.

The discovery of avian flu in Missouri threatens poultry exports, raising the potential for a backup of supply into the domestic market that will compete with pork.

U.S. pork exports are complicated by the lingering backlog caused by the west coast labour dispute and the strong American dollar.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$46 per hundredweight March 13, down from $49 March 6.

U.S. hogs averaged $59.60 on a carcass basis March 13, down from $63.41 March 6. The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $67.48 per cwt. March 13, down from $68.82 March 6.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to March 14 was 2.227 million, up from 2.222 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.024 million last year at the same time.

BISON STRONG The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5 per pound hot hanging weight.

U.S. buyers were offering US$4.10$4.15 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs.

Grade A heifers sold as high as C$4.80. U.S. buyers are offering US$3.90.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LAMBS STEADY TO STRONGER Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 1,081 sheep and 81 goats sold March 9.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 pounds were $242-$256 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $238-$258, 70 to 85 lb. were $225-$248, 86-105 lb. were $190$228 and 106 lb. and heavier were $173-$190.

Wool rams were $77-$130 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $68-$110 and bred ewes were $150-$310 per head.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $220-$240 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $222-$236, 70-85 lb. were $210-$230, 86-105 lb. were $190-$210 and 106 lb. and heavier were $167-$177.

CRAIG’S VIEW

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION

Infrastructure needs to keep up with desire to increase trade

C

anada, always a trading nation, is tying its economy ever closer to the opportunities that arise from trade.

The strategy holds promise because global growth, particularly in Asia, is still so great it is hard to comprehend.

American agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack recently noted that the middle class in Asia is expected to climb to 3.2 billion over the next 15 years from 525 million today.

That would be the equivalent of adding eight markets the size of the United States.

These people will drive a consumer revolution, including increased demand for food.

A small part of this revolution could play out in the canola industry, which has set a goal of expanding production so as to increase seed exports by 24 percent by 2025.

The production target is not that much of a stretch, considering the technological advances coming in agriculture.

But as one transportation expert noted, what’s the good of expanding production and markets if the transportation and handling systems can’t handle the extra load?

Stephen Blank, a North American transportation systems analyst, told the Canola Council of Canada annual meeting that the continent’s system of roads, railways, waterways and pipelines are declining because of underinvestment and political gridlock.

Prime minister Stephan Harper took issue with that thinking in a presentation last week to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

He said his government, through the Gas Tax Fund and the 10-year, $53 billion Building Canada Plan, has made infrastructure investments “that dwarf all other governments.”

While it is good that more tax money is going into infrastructure, it is clear that much more could be spent to match the need. It may be possible to reprioritize government spending to make more public money available for

infrastructure, but there are limits to the burden placed on taxpayers.

Governments would do well to investigate new ways for the private sector to get involved in funding infrastructure construction. One step in this direction is public-private partnership, the P3s where private consortiums fund and manage construction of infrastructure and charge governments to use it.

There could be ways to expand this partnership concept to further tap the vast pools of capital controlled by public pension plans and insurance companies that look for longterm, stable investments.

But what of private railway infrastructure?

Railways fund capital projects through the revenue they generate.

The two national railways have posted record profits, but a paper by Barry Prentice of the Asper School of Business and Graham Parsons of the Organization for Western Economic Cooperation notes that the grain revenue cap has caused average rail freight rate for grain to fall seriously behind the rate for other commodities.

They argue that the revenue cap removes the incentive for railways to invest in innovations that provide efficiency gains through the grain handling system.

Meanwhile, farm groups issued a study arguing that railway earnings for hauling prairie grain are hundreds of millions of dollars above levels that were previously deemed acceptable by the Canadian Transportation Agency.

Who is correct? One thing is certain: the ongoing federal transportation review will have to balance fairness for shippers with the railway’s need to generate sufficient money to improve its infrastructure to meet growing trade opportunities.

FARM POLICY

Decisions loom on grain transportation, temporary workers CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

P

arliament might be suspended this week for March break, but official discussions are heating up in the backrooms of federal politics, thanks to fast-approaching deadlines on several key issues.

The federal Conservatives must decide within the next few weeks whether to again extend the minimum volumes for grain, which have now been in place for more than a year. The current orders require Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to move 345,000 tones of grain until March 22, when the volume jumps for one week to 465,000 tonnes.

However, those orders expire

March 28, and Ottawa hasn’t ruled out the possibility of extending them.

Transport minister Lisa Raitt told reporters March 10 that officials with Transport Canada are reviewing the orders, but noted a final decision has yet to be made.

Meanwhile, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz recently told The Western Producer that extending the orders is still an option on the table.

However, the possible extension of the orders comes as shippers continue to criticize rail service levels, with both industry and government admitting the orders aren’t perfect.

CN and CP have been repeatedly accused of cherry picking routes with the fastest turn around times.

Meanwhile, oat and barley shippers continue to report service issues caused by ongoing delays in car orders destined to the U.S. Those in the industry have conceded that grain is moving better than it was last year, but shippers are far from satisfied.

The latest numbers from the Ag Transport Coalition show that the

railways have delivered only 29 percent of cars in the week they were ordered.

More than 22,000 car orders are outstanding since the beginning of the year.

However, the railroads continue to insist they are providing record service, a point CN conveniently highlighted in a March 12 news release, in which it insisted it was providing an average of 4,700 hopper cars per week.

The grain order expiration date isn’t the only federal deadline approaching with implications for Canadian agriculture.

As of April 1, low-skilled temporary foreign workers who have been in Canada for four years will be forced to leave their employers and return to their home countries. Under changes proposed in 2011, those workers must stay in their home countries for four years before being allowed to return to Canada.

Under the old rules, employers could simply apply to have a worker’s permit renewed in cases where

Canadian staff could not be found despite rigorous job searches by industry.

The looming exodus has left Canada’s farming community on edge, with sectors such as Canada’s $900 million mushroom industry warning that the departure of those workers will be disastrous.

Mushroom producers are expecting to lose more than 400 workers thanks to the term limit, with most of those workers employed as harvesters. Many of them have at least four years experience, while several others have been in Canada picking mushrooms for longer, said Mushrooms Canada vice-president Bill Stevens.

If those workers are not allowed to stay, he warned, the industry’s productivity will go down at a time when consumer demand for mushrooms is going up.

The industry wants the federal government to extend the stay of those workers for one year, a reprieve similar to the one granted to 1,000 lowskilled workers in Alberta currently

enrolled in the province’s Provincial Nominee program.

Also at risk from the April 1 deadline are workers in Canadian meat packing and processing plants, where it has been reported that the number of job openings has topped 1,000.

Stakeholders say the shortage of workers in that industry has been compounded by more changes made to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program last June.

Lobbying efforts around the ongoing worker shortage in agriculture continue on Parliament Hill, with stakeholders taking any meeting they can get.

Those lobbying efforts have resulted in minor changes, such as including feedlots in the definition of primary agriculture, but the push for a permanent national solution to the industry’s burgeoning labour crunch continues. This one will likely become a federal election issue.

he children now attending our high schools and elementary schools are referred to as Generation Z. According to an article in Supermarket News, these young people are more likely to be dedicated to a meat free diet over their lifetime. This prediction was made by Culinary Tides, which tracks and predicts U.S. food trends.

President Suzy Badaracco justifies the prediction based on the reality that Gen Z consumers are the first to be born into sustainability, where awareness of the environmental impact of production and consumption practices have had national attention throughout their lives.

As instinctive as it may be to dive into a stoic defense of agricultural production and the ignorance of youth, maybe a deeper evaluation of up-and-coming consumer preference is warranted.

As comfortable as we are in our understanding and our ability to produce sustainable products, does Gen Z share that understanding and awareness of our abilities? Given that I hope to continue to produce cattle for beef consumption when Gen Z’s purchasing power is ramping up, I’d like to know more.

The next generation of consumers may be even more interested in food production, which could create opportunities for Canadian farmers. | FILE PHOTO Quarterly, which was produced by Omelet, a Los Angeles based advertising agency, was dedicated to a strategic intelligence report on Generation Z. Included in the content was a feature on the generation’s relationship with food and their search for new experiences that will expand their cultural and personal understanding of the world around them. Does this growing percentage of North American spending power spell opportunity for Canadian agriculture?

If so, reaping the rewards of such an opportunity will likely depend on our

ability to recognize the customer’s demands as an opportunity rather than treating their demands as ignorance. The choice to provide sustainability-minded consumers with enough of a comfort level to earn their business will require effort, but what are our other alternatives?

Such a notion is supported by Morgan Aceino, senior brand strategist and author of the Wake Up Quarterly ar ticle, Adolescent Appetites, Reshaping the Relationship with Food. Aceino says that the time is now for marketers to recognize and

meet Generation Z’s desire for exploration through food.

There appears to be a huge population of young North Americans with a desire for exploration of food production culture, considering that few of them are being raised within the culture of agricultural production.

Are we prepared to share our culture of production through the food we want to sell them?

We had better be.

NFU reports on land ownership worth a read HURSH ON AG

ainstream agriculture tends to immediately discount anything proposed by the National Farmers Union.

On the issue of farmland ownership and control, however, there are some NFU viewpoints that resonate with a majority of the farm population.

The NFU has released a 2015 update of its report entitled Losing Our Grip. If anything, farmland ownership is an even bigger issue now than when it was first released in 2010.

You have to take the whole document with a grain of salt because the socialist dogma is rather pervasive, but when you look beyond the far left-wing bias, there are many interesting facts and observations.

One of the main values of the report is that it profiles the main investment companies involved in the Canadian land market. The list includes AgCapita, Assiniboia, AGInvest, Bonnefield and Walton International.

One Earth Farms is discussed, as is the financially troubled Broadacre Agriculture. While these failed mega farms have received a lot of press, some lesser known players are also included. For instance, the report says Nil-Ray Farms, which is backed

by Brian and Lee Nilsson — former owners of XL Foods — owns 15,000 acres in five Saskatchewan rural municipalities.

We don’t hear a lot about the Irving family of New Brunswick here in the West, but the report says J.D. Irving, which is owned by the Irving family, is among the world’s largest landowners. It’s always interesting to know the individuals behind the big companies, and the report provides that information.

Most of the information is publicly available with a bit of digging, but there’s value in having it researched and compiled in one document.

The report decries the increase in Canadian farm debt, which it says has now increased to $78 billion. Low interest rates mean producers have been able to handle an increasing debt load with few problems, but it could certainly become an issue in the years ahead, depending on what happens with interest rates and commodity prices.

The report ends with a series of recommendations. Many will not be palatable to those who subscribe to a more centralist philosophy, but even some fervent free enterprisers are uncomfortable with a wide open marketplace when it comes to farmland ownership.

One of the recommendations is that farmland be owned only by individuals and corporations that reside within each province. That’s the way the law used to be in Saskatchewan, but there’s little likelihood of reverting back to that restriction, which the previous NDP government removed.

However, that is the way farmland ownership works in Prince Edward Island, which has strict limits on how much farmland individuals and cor-

poration can own. The NFU report said governments should consider legislating appropriate maximum sizes of land holdings elsewhere, but it’s difficult to believe this will ever happen beyond P.E.I. On the other hand, sensitivity certainly exists about the ownership of Saskatchewan farmland by pension funds, and the Saskatchewan government is moving to make sure pension plans don’t increase their holdings. An open market might be viewed as best for most commodities, but land is viewed differently.

One NFU recommendation that makes good sense revolves around Rasps. Some farmland investment companies promote their shares as RRSP eligible. It makes no sense that an investor can get a tax deduction for a farmland investment while a farmer cannot. This would seem to be a topic that warrants further study.

he percentage of farm income that comes from public transfers within Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development countries has declined to 18.2 from 37.6 over the past 25 years.

Thirty-nine percent of Canadian farm income came from one form of farm support or another in 1989.

By last year it had dropped to 12 percent.

The United States fell to less than eight, and Australia hovers around two percent. Canada is about equal with Mexico, while European Union far ms see about 20 percent of income coming from public transfers. All fell over the past 25 years.

The OECD defines agricultural support as the gross transfers to agriculture from consumers and taxpayers arising from government policies that support agriculture, regardless of the objectives and economic impacts.

The total support given to agriculture as a percentage of gross domestic product is about the same for Canada and the U.S.: half of one percent.

Agriculture forms 1.9 percent of the gross domestic product in Canada and just 1.2 percent in the U.S. Australian agriculture hands in 2.4 percent of its GDP. Total employment in the sector represents 2.8 percent of jobs in Australia, 2.4 in the U.S. and just two percent in Canada.

However, there are apples and oranges at work in some of these statistics, such as the U.S. spending much more than Canada or Australia on agricultural research and extension and on inspection of food products. No country is culturally, economically, politically or geographically the same.

Higher producer support estimates, which is what the OECD calls them, usually mean tougher negotiations when it comes to free or reducedrestriction trade deals. And Canada’s numbers are higher than some.

Most Canadian farmers probably are asking why they don’t see much of their income coming from government when our numbers are so high.

It’s supply management that throws off the averages. Not that those producers get much money from government either —they don’t.

The OECD estimates the difference between the world price for dairy products, poultry and eggs and Canadian prices and applies this as a subsidy. Remove that estimate and Canada looks a lot like Australia and well below the U.S. when it comes to farm support.

Personally, I have always thought of Canada as an above average nation anyway. michael.raine@producer.com

program has no teeth and all the information gathered from the grain companies is on a volunteer basis.

Why bother? This looks to me like patronage to a company that was clearly in support of the dismantling of the CWB. Somewhere down the road, someone will have to pay for this program. I’m betting it won’t be the federal government.

If there is any glimmer of hope in this situation, it will be with the federal election slated for the fall. Four years of prime minister Stephen Harper’s majority government have set farmers back 50 years.

Hopefully, enough people will recognize this and exercise their democratic right and vote A.B.C. Neil T. Gorda, Willingdon, Alta.

To the Editor: In response to Glen Sawyer’s letter (Feb. 19), I would like to set him straight on the reality of “freedom of choice.”

It is obvious that Sawyer believes that if he says it loud enough and often enough, it must be true that freedom of choice is good for prairie farmers.

What has transpired since the federal government unilaterally dismantled the CWB is a far cry from what was promised.

Increased competition would drive grain prices up, they said. New markets and increased domestic consumption would be a given, they said.

Better rail movement would be inevitable, they said.

The sad truth is that none of these promises have materialized.

You don’t have to look far to find news articles about how the multinational grain companies have profited greatly since the CWB was destroyed.

The farmers share of the export price of wheat has dropped to 50 percent, a drastic decrease from the 80 percent we used to get.

But, you get paid immediately.

That’s quite the trade-off.

Rail movement of our grain has been dismal and we see no improvement in the future.

Market transparency is non-existent. The so-called “new:” CWB cannot compete with the multinationals in any way.

NEIL T.GORDA

Market transparency is non-existent. The so-called “new” CWB cannot compete with the multinationals in any way. The port facilities are wholly controlled by the multinationals. The CWB does not currently have the cross-country infrastructure to make them a viable entity. All the while, market forces (freedom of choice) have driven the grain prices down.

exporting industry (at taxpayers expense).

Now the complaints are not enough hogs? (Staying off the hog production roller coaster, Man. Co-operator, March 5).

What’s next? One has to ask. The answer is “our waters.”

Manitoba is a province recognized as having more than 100,000 lakes.

And with so much water, we disgracefully neglect to look after these finite sources, as we know we should.

One situation here is that the hog factories hide under the skirts of farming, and are not industry regulated.

Excess, untreated waste manure eventually finds its way into water sources and Manitobans can shamefully boast that they live in a province that has the distinction of having Lake Winnipeg, the most polluted lake in the world.

ANTI-ENVIRONMENT BILL To the Editor: Prime minister Stephen Harper has silenced scientists and others who speak up against climate change. He has called environmentalists terrorists.

Now, he is trying to take advantage of our fear of terrorism by hiding clauses within Bill C-51. This would allow the surveillance and criminalization of peaceful Canadian citizens and have nothing to do with fighting terrorism.

According to Thomas Mulcair, Bill C-51 would give Canada’s spy agency (CSIS) new powers for surveillance of peaceful citizens and could place them on no-fly lists without their knowledge. They may be arrested and jailed without cause.

With Bill C-51, Canadians could be targeted for protesting against pipelines, for speaking out against climate change, for assembling together in public without a permit or for disrupting economic activity.

First Nations citizens would be targeted for surveillance and arrest for protesting the fracking, uranium mining or oil extraction which threaten their clean water supply.

In 2012, Harper passed Bill C-45 with similar hidden clauses. These clauses have removed all environmental protections from 99.99 percent of Canada’s lakes, rivers and waterways (making it legal for oil companies to spill oil and bitumen into our waterways).

Don’t let Harper use his dictatorialstyle of changing legislation, to pass Bill C-51.

This bill deserves full input from all federal parties for close scrutiny and crucial amendments.

Say no to Harper.

“While attending university, I drove home every weekend to assist so the staff could have the weekend off. My father never had trouble finding staff and most stayed long term. This was back in the ’80s.

In response to those apparently well-paid working conditions plus perks, a reader named “Todd” replied with the following observation: “That could be why your family used to farm! The ’80s were great... It’s tighter, much tighter now!”

One point raised in Johnson’s column was the severe worker shortage in meat processing and packing plants, industries hit hard by recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

A reader named “Kelly” wrote this in response: “The question here should be what can these employers do to attract people to these jobs? Minimum wage with no overtime pay, no statutory holidays, no benefits and no WBC

“The fact is, and this is coming from someone who worked at one of these places and saw the applications received, is that Canadians do apply for these jobs, but they are shunned by employers in favour of TFW. “Maybe if these same employers put as much work into helping their local applicants as they do each year applying for an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment), and actually offered them the same help with housing (very little vacant rental housing for local workers) and transportation (no public transportation in these areas) that they offer the TFW, then they wouldn’t have this problem.”

TRANSPORTATION

Sask. groups want rail service cost review The organizations accuse railways of earning hundreds of millions of dollars more than what was supposed to be allowed

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A coalition of Saskatchewan farm groups is renewing its call for a costing review of rail services in Canada.

The Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Barley Commission, the Saskatchewan Wheat Commission and the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Association issued a joint news release March 10 calling on Ottawa to conduct a complete examination of “railway costs and efficiency gains” as part of its current review of the

Canada Transportation Act. The groups released a report suggesting that the amount of money earned by railways for hauling prairie grain is hundreds of millions of dollars above levels that were previously deemed acceptable by the Canadian Transportation Agency.

The report, which was prepared by John Edsforth of Travacon Research, said Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway earned nearly $2 billion “in excess of the contribution level that was deemed fair and adequate” by federal regulators between 2008 and 2014.

Citing previous rail costing reviews and CTA rulings, the report said railway earnings should be limited to 20 percent above the railways’ variable costs.

By that measure, the railways exceeded acceptable earnings from grain by $322 million, or $8.36 per tonne, in the 2013-14 crop year.

“What these numbers mean is that grain producers are being overcharged,” said APAS president Norm Hall. “As grain producers, rail service and cost directly impact our ability to compete internationally.”

Barley commission chair Cam Goff said current regulations that limit the

amount of revenue railways can generate from grain need to be adjusted to reflect the new environment in which railways operate.

He said the railway revenue cap, also known as the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE), which limits the railways’ per tonne revenue, is good in theory and should be retained unless another, more effective mechanism is put in place.

However, the formula used to calculate the MRE may no longer be relevant, given changes in the industry, he added.

Efficiency gains realized by the rail-

ways over the past 10 years have reduced variable costs at CN and CP, but freight rates have not been adjusted accordingly, Goff said.

As a result, railways are retaining more profits from each tonne of grain they move, in spite of the revenue caps.

“The excess revenue earned from grain movement is a direct result of productivity gains being fully captured by railways,” the farm leaders said in a joint statement.

Neither CN nor CP were immediately available for comment. brian.cross@producer.com

Beef industry sustainability under review

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — A wide ranging assessment is being conducted into the sustainability of the Canadian beef industry.

The life cycle analysis is covering everything that happens from pasture to plate under the guidance of the Canadian Round Table on Sustainable Beef.

“The overall goal of doing a project like this is to really enhance the beef industry’s ability to communicate properly with consumers, domestically and internationally, about all the environmental and social benefits the beef industry does in Canada,” said Tom Lynch-Staunton, chair of the round table’s assessment committee.

The project goals will create a base line assessment of the industry, he told the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-12.

The consulting firm Deloitte has been hired for the environmental and social assessment of ranch life, while Canfax is handling the economic sustainability study.

Food companies can use this kind o f i n f o r m a t i o n . Fo r e x a m p l e, McDonald’s Corp. has launched a pilot study to see if Canada can meet its requirements to provide beef from a sustainable system.

The final report could also help develop farm policy that supports sustainability.

The life cycle assessment considers how cattle are managed to minimize impacts on the environment. It will also consider biodiversity, animal welfare, water and soil use, carbon sequestration, wildlife interactions and effects on society.

Farms, ranches, feedlots and processors are included in the study.

“It is quite ground-breaking, but we are still at the data collection stage,” said Lynch-Staunton.

An international expert review of the analysis will also be undertaken to ensure that the study stands up to scientific scrutiny. Work started in April and a final report with recommendations is expected by November. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Prime minister Stephen Harper appeared to be in election mode when he addressed delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ annual meeting.

It appears infrastructure spending might be one of the battlefronts of what is anticipated to be a fall election.

“We have undertaken the longest, largest national infrastructure investment in this country by far in the history of Canada,” he said.

Earlier that day, Harper announced a maximum of $32 million in federal funding for the twinning of 26.5 kilometres of Highway 7 between Saskatoon and Delisle.

MALATHION

Insecticide for livestock banned

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An insecticide once popular for controlling lice in cattle has been banned from use in livestock.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency withdrew the licence for malathion in livestock after reviewing the pesticide and its uses.

“As a result, all malathion-based pesticides for direct application to livestock for food, including beef and dairy cattle, goats (non-milking), poultry, sheep and swine have been discontinued,” Robert Martin, the PMRA’s regulatory information officer, said in an email.

He said the PMRA’s re-evaluation program is reviewing pest control products registered before Jan. 1, 1995, to determine if their use continues to be acceptable under today’s standard for health and environmental protection.

Ken Ziegler, a beef specialist with Alberta agriculture, said livestock producers would have to look for alternative products for pest control, especially for use in cattle oilers.

Ziegler said malathion has been used less frequently over the past few years in favour of other products. As well, lice and other pests have become less of an issue with the more common use of ivermectin on livestock when cattle are processed in fall.

Ziegler said ivermectin seems to provide good control of lice throughout winter when the insect is an issue.

More interest in pesticides and livestock has resulted in less tolerance for any pesticide products, he added. mary.macarthur@producer.com

He said infrastructure spending is a high priority for his government. He showed delegates a chart detailing how spending on projects like highways and bridges has increased exponentially since the Conservative party came to power in 2006.

“The fact of the matter is until shortly before we came to office, the federal government had been for very many years making little or no investment in infrastructure at the provincial and municipal level,” said Harper.

He said his government is spending three times as much on infrastructure as the Liberals did.

Matthew Kellway, infrastructure and communities critic for the New Democratic Party, isn’t impressed.

“When they compare to the previous government, the bar is a very low one to get over,” he said.

“The late 1990s saw the cannibalization of infrastructure in Canada by a Liberal government.”

Harper said his government has made it easier for municipalities to plan expenditures by launching the Building Canada Plan in 2007-08, which distributed $33 billion over the next seven years.

The New Building Canada Plan launched in 2013-14 will spend a

further $53 billion on provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure over the next 10 years, which is in addition to $25 billion that will be spent on federal infrastructure.

However, Kellway said the money isn’t moving out of the fund to where it belongs.

“What I hear consistently from both municipalities and provinces is that the money simply is not flowing,” he said.

“The number for this year for money coming out of the fund is about $140 million, which is a drop in an ocean when one considers the kind of investment in infrastructure that is required to make the economy of this

country function as it should.”

Kellway said he would rather see a more predictable and reliable funding model, such as the Gas Tax Fund proposed by former NDP leader Jack Layton.

Harper said his government implemented the Gas Tax Fund, extended it, doubled it and then indexed it.

It has been used to partially fund the old and new Building Canada plans.

As well, he said money is flowing out of the Building Canada plans: $1.1 billion for infrastructure projects in Saskatchewan since 2006. sean.pratt@producer.com

GM alfalfa creeps across border Although the Roundup Ready forage has been approved only for Eastern Canada, it’s been found in fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta.— Discovery of genetically modified alfalfa in Western Canada, where it has not yet been approved, highlights the likelihood of its eventual spread, said the president of Forage Seed Canada Inc. Heather Kerschbaumer said it would be preferable to keep GM alfalfa out of the West, at least until it is accepted by export markets.

However, discovery of the Round-

up Ready forage in one Saskatchewan and one Alberta field within the past few years shows that will be difficult if not impossible.

“I think it’s going to be really hard to

keep it out because there’s going to be farmers that don’t know any better,” Kerschbaumer said in an interview at the Alberta Forage Industry Network meeting March 12.

“They’re going to think, ‘for my situation, it’s not going to hurt me. I’m going to feed my own alfalfa to my own cows … who’s going to care?’ ” However, alfalfa can easily spread into ditches, fence lines and field edges, regardless of good intentions.

“He will never know. He’s not doing it intentionally but that unin-

tentional way of contaminating, how do you keep it out?” asked Kerschbaumer.

Forage broker Ed Shaw agreed that GM alfalfa, which is grown in the United States and has been approved for growth in Eastern Canada, will be difficult to contain.

BILLIONS “I personally think that there is enough cross contamination and there is enough seed that is coming from the States, that … it’s going to be hard to keep it out,” Shaw said.

Forage Seed Canada finalized its position statement on GM alfalfa in February and has sent it to government and the industry. It says the organization cannot support commercialization of GM alfalfa until it has international consumer, market and industry acceptance.

The organization also said it requires an identity preservation system for alfalfa varieties in Canada, a rapid and cost effective test to determine GM presence, an economic impact assessment on how GM alfalfa would affect forage seed markets and a liability clause to compensate growers for lost seed markets because of contamination from gene transfer or uncontrolled feral alfalfa.

“The CFIA has failed to do a complete due diligence assessment in the approval of GE alfalfa for release into Canada by neglecting to factor in potential market losses or market impact by allowing GE traits in alfalfa into Canada before widespread market acceptance,” the position paper said.

Canadian Forage Growers Association president Doug Wray asked if Forage Seed Canada’s objections would be the same if the GM trait involved low lignin or drought tolerant qualities.

Kerschbaumer said Forage Genetics International, which owns the marketing rights for GM alfalfa, has said it plans to sell only stacked trait varieties, all of which will include glyphosate tolerance.

She said her organization supports regulations based on sound science, but the risk of export market loss is the primary issue.

Pollination supplier Weldon Hobbs said the absence of GM alfalfa in the West provides an opportunity.

“If the world accepts it, we would be in a lot of trouble not grasping it and trying to keep up with the rest of the world, but right now we have an advantage in trying to stay clean and take over a lot of markets,” he said.

Kerschbaumer said Canada’s share of the export alfalfa seed market is small, at about $145 million, but the market for hay is worth billions.

“We have everybody on our shoulders,” she said of seed growers.

“If we can’t have clean seed, we’re not going to have clean hay.”

Shaw said many international markets accept .1 percent GM in imported product, but China has a zero tolerance policy that Canada and other countries could tap.

Growers in the United States initially obtained a premium for growing GM alfalfa seed, but Kerschbaumer said that has disappeared.

“You actually get a premium now if you have no GE in your seed, so it has done a complete flip.” barb.glen@producer.com

BUSINESS VENTURE

Samosas top dogs at arena Concession cook wins customers with unique fare and branches out into food marketing

BY SUZY THOMPSON FREELANCE WRITER

BLACK DIAMOND, Alta. — When Ginni Kelley and her husband, Dale, took over the concession stand in the Oilfields Arena in Black Diamond last fall, they had some trouble convincing customers that Ginni’s Kitchen was a change for the better.

“I had a lot of requests for hot dogs when I came here because that’s what they’re used to. It took awhile for the transition,” Ginni said.

Since replacing the hotdogs, nachos and slurpees with a selection of Indian, British and Canadian clas-

sics made from scratch, Ginni and Dale have attracted hordes of new customers to the arena and a media following, garnering coverage as far away as Calgary and Vancouver.

Now, students and staff from the nearby high school regularly hit the concession for lunch and arena users can’t seem to get enough of the top sellers: the jalapeno burger, chicken BLT, samosas and butter chicken poutine.

Ginni said her favourite trick is to walk an order of her butter chicken poutine through the rink stands during a game. Before long, there’s a lineup of customers at her counter asking about the dish.

Dale has an extensive background in the food and restaurant industry, but Ginni had little experience.

“I couldn’t cook to save my life,” she said.

Ginni was a lawyer in the United Kingdom before immigrating to Canada, where she worked for the provincial crown in Calgary until last fall.

During a stressful case about 15 years ago, she and her co-workers relaxed with a cooking party. Her interest and skill with food steadily grew until she decided to make a drastic career change.

Ginni has also published a cookbook, started cooking classes for

adults and children, bottled her own butter chicken sauce and is considering other options to expand her cooking enterprise.

“I’m still deciding which way I’d like to go. I like the idea of having fresh meals frozen so people can take them home and heat up, because there’s not a lot in that way,” she said.

For now, the Kelleys’ plan to offer interesting dishes made from scratch is going well.

“I’m trying to keep it under wraps until we get it figured out a bit. But for me, it’s a second career so I want to stay in food for the rest of my working days,” she said.

OTTAWA — Debra Pretty-Straathof wants to hear from Canadian women farmers and their organizations about their issues.

That might allow her to help women in other countries secure land tenure, obtain credit and find market opportunities.

The Ontario Federation of Agriculture director has represented the Canadian Federation of Agriculture on an international farm women’s committee for about a year.

“We need to identify champions in those other countries,” she said. “We can provide models if they want them but I think we as a North American society, if we even try to (impose on them), we could just make things worse.”

Pretty-Straathof said her participation at the World Farmers’ Organization level raised many questions for her.

“Not being part of a women’s farm group, per se, has left me sort of out here on my own,” she said. “I’m sort of struggling to not only understand the issues internationally but also domestically.”

Pretty-Straathof said many women around the world don’t have a lot of say in their farm operations, a situation that isn’t just true in developing countries where women are restricted by religious, cultural and political barriers.

She said most in Canadian farm circles say that women are full partners in their family farms but it’s still largely a man’s world.

After a recent presentation at the CFA annual meeting, PrettyStraathof said a young male delegate told her that, in some circumstances in some provinces , if he died without a will his wife mighthave to share farm assets with children.

“Maybe there is room for improvement even here,” she said. karen.briere@producer.com

QUINOA: Versatile and easy to cook DOROTHY LONG

COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY SANDERCOCK

N

ot many years ago, quinoa was thought of as a specialty grain that only vegetarians and people on gluten-free diets ate.

I remember watching a young couple in the grocery store discussing what to do with it and how to pronounce it.

Today quinoa (keen–wah) is much more mainstream and most people recognize it and have tried it.

Quinoa is not a cereal grain, but a pseudo-cereal. It is a seed, which is prepared and eaten like a cereal grain but it still counts as a whole grain.

Quinoa is often called an ancient

grain because it has been consumed for centuries and was an important crop for the Inca.

It sounds exotic but it is versatile and easy to cook. Quinoa cooks like rice but in half the time and can be used in some of the same dishes as rice.

I like to toast it slightly before adding the liquid to bring out a nutty flavour.

Serve warm or cool and add to salads and side dishes.

Quinoa comes in white, red and black and can be purchased as whole seed, flakes and flour. I often mix the colours to add interest to a salad or

side dish.

Quinoa flour has a nutty flavour and is gluten-free so is often used in recipes for celiac diets. Quinoa flakes are similar in texture to rolled oats and are prepared in a similar manner.

Like rolled oats, they lack a lot of flavour so pair them with dried fruit and a bit of sweetener.

Ancient Incas called quinoa the mother grain because it contains all the essential amino acids that people need to get from a food source, making it one of the best sources of plant-based protein available.

Quinoa also contains a large amount of antioxidants and is high in fibre. It has a low glycemic index, making it a great food for people with diabetes or who are trying to lose weight.

It is also high in several minerals that we don’t get enough of, especially magnesium, pot-assium, zinc and iron.

B.C. island breeders advocate for agriculture Farm uses purebred genetics to improve the island’s cattle industry

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

COURTENAY, B.C. — Buying a bull at Regina’s Canadian Western Agribition has been a game changer for Vancouver Island purebred Angus cattle producers Brad and Aleta Chappell.

“He stepped things up,” Aleta said of the purchase of Copenhagen 3Y in 2011 with Alberta’s U2 Ranch.

Brad said it allows them to expand their herd at Heart of the Valley Farms and pass those genetics onto buyers when they participate in events such as U2’s bull sale in High River, Alta., March 24.

The Chappells focus on producing strong production oriented heifers.

“If a customer knows what he’s going to get from you, he will come back,” said Brad.

“One goal with cattle here is to sell, offer for customers, that step up in genetics that puts pounds on their calves.”

Brad said the 230 acre farm near Courtenay is a good fit for their 60 head herd. Angus originally came to Canada from Scotland ,where the soils and climate are similar to Vancouver Island.

“They have the ability to convert 100 lb. of grass to weight,” said Brad.

Half his bulls are sold off the island and the rest go into next year’s production, he said.

“We wean early bull calves and separate culls, and some go to get fed in Alberta,” he said.

“Then we make the decision on which ones go in the sale.”

Raising cattle here is vastly different than on the open rangelands of mainland British Columbia.

“There, it’s one cow to 35 acres.

Brad Chappell of Heart of the Valley Farms sees opportunities to expand his Vancouver Island beef herd through good genetics and big grass yields. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTOS Here, it’s a cow-calf pair to an acre.”

The Chappells grow their own feed, although lack of moisture last year meant they had to buy some. Most years, they get big yields and up to four cuts of hay annually.

Brad handles the social media, marketing, direct mail and recordkeeping part of the business, while Aleta focuses on farm accounts and their quarter horses.

The pair, who have one toddler, Hayes, and are expecting another child, make decisions together.

“I really value and respect Aleta’s opinion,” Brad said.

Aleta said Brad puts his strong social skills to good use in the peopleoriented cattle business.

“He likes to talk and is a people person. That’s very important for sales,” she said.

Brad said Aleta has good animal sense. The longtime horse breeder and trainer grew up on the island and can trace her ancestry back to one of the first settlers, George Ford. He married a First Nations woman and brought Angus to the island from his native Scotland in the 1800s.

Brad called Aleta a calming influence on the farm.

“If I’ve been out there for a long time, my wife will come out and get the situation calmed down,” he said.

Cattle numbers steeply declined on the island following the demise of the Crow Rate, but there are signs that is

turning around.

Island producers may soon form a chapter within the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, and the B.C. agriculture ministry advisory committee is working on strategies to increase agricultural production provincewide.

In the meantime, the Chappells are eying the Prairies as one way to expand their herd and acreage on a second farm.

Brad said challenges for island farmers include the high cost of farmland and freight to and from the mainland.

Aleta described the Comox Valley climate as a mixed bag of wet, damp and cold. They are sheltered from much of the rain that other regions receive, and their area, which is within eyesight of Mount Washington, often receives cooler temperatures and good snowfall.

The location means constant vigilance with a pack of feisty dogs to keep animals safe from abundant predators such as cougars.

Keeping the family safe is also top of mind. Their yard is fenced off from the nearby river, visitors are asked to park closer to the entrance than to the expansive house and Hayes is never out of sight.

“There’s no access to cattle and equipment without one of us around,” said Brad.

Aleta also knows better than to

work with flighty young horses when the yard is busy.

“It’s not a good idea to teach a horse to tie when Brad is roaring by on the tractor,” she said.

Brad tries to slow things down, whether tending to animals in a large airy barn or moving equipment around the yard.

“At 25 or 30, I got injured easier. Now I stop and think a lot,” said Brad.

Aleta said Brad is a strong advocate for agriculture on the island and sits on the local economic development society board and the Comox Valley Farmers Institute as he helps steer land policies for the Comox Valley.

He knows urban-rural conflicts are increasing but he wants more food animal production on the island.

Brad said improved genetics and advanced technologies can aid the island’s cattle industry, which is better suited to the region than the many wineries that have cropped up.

“If you can elocute reasons why we need to stay the course in agriculture, it will elevate that decision,” he said.

“Ranchers are among the biggest conservationists on the planet. People who own and work the land are the biggest stewards of it.… We’re not given enough credit for that.” karen.morrison@producer.com

A

s times change, so do our snacking, socializing and daily eating habits.

Nutrition Month in March reminds us to take a moment and reflect upon our relationship with food.

Does our diet need an overhaul?

Are we on a path of good eating or do we stuff our faces? Do we rely upon supplements for our nutrition while we consume factory processed and packaged food?

Nutrition information has become so complicated that we think it is too much work to eat real food. It isn’t difficult to eat moderate portions of food that people have been eating for generations.

Finding accurate nutrition information is confusing.

Food labelling is not easy to figure out. We cannot rely on Smart Choice check marks and health claims on packages. Low carb and low fat do not equate to good nutrition.

But there are strategies that can help.

Keep healthy food on hand for making quick meals, packed lunches

• Low fat milk and low sugar or plain yogurt for a good source of protein and nutrients. Make smoothies with fruits and vegetables or make a parfait with fruit and granola.

• Unprocessed cheese rather than cheese spreads and pre-grated cheese.

• Washed fresh fruits and vegetables. Make salads in a jar or vegetable sticks once or twice a week for convenient snacks.

• Hummus to eat with veggie sticks or pita bread or add to a sandwich.

• Eggs for omelets. Have boiled eggs on hand for quick sandwiches and salads.

• Thinly sliced home roasted meat or chicken for wraps, salads and sandwiches.

• Unsalted nuts and nut butters. Portion nuts in single servings to avoid overeating.

Simply prepared quality food such as farro and feta salad with cured ahi tuna and oven roasted vegetables can satisfy our nutritional needs. | SARAH GALVIN PHOTO

Pantry • Tinned salmon or tuna to add to salads, sandwiches and wraps.

• Chickpeas and lentils, tinned or dried, to make hummus and salads.

• Brown rice, bulgur and other whole grains, steel cut oats.

• Tomatoes and tomato paste, tinned, for quick pasta sauces.

• Whole grain flours, crackers and bread.

• Dried mushrooms add protein and

CLEANSING BODY

BEDTIME REGIME

Myths about Firm bedtime rules needed to calm fears, avoid friction detoxification SPEAKING OF LIFE products proach, lying with him in bed, letting him get up whenever to sleep with someone else in someone else’s bed.

That did not work. We are out of options. What do you suggest?

HEALTH CLINIC JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Q:

Some of my friends have suggested that it’s good to have a detox to get rid of accumulated toxins in my body to get a good start on healthy living. Are they safe? Which method would you recommend?

A:

There has been a lot written on this subject and even some celebrities have given their endorsements to expensive products that claim to detoxify and cleanse the body.

None of them work, and some of them are dangerous and unhealthy.

The diet industry is great at making money from products that have not been scientifically proven to work, but people are always looking for a quick fix solution to their health and weight problems.

There is no easy way to get fit, other than by reducing calorie intake and increasing calorie burn with exercise. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3,500 calories.

There are organs in the body that naturally get rid of waste products in the blood stream. Most waste is excreted in the feces or urine or sweated out in the skin.

The intestines, kidneys and liver are great at getting rid of toxins as long as they are in good working order. If they are not, then dialysis or organ transplants may be the only solution.

The body is normally so good at removing toxins that they are eliminated within hours of consumption.

Certain chemicals, such as the breakdown products of some drugs and prescribed medications, can accumulate in the liver for some time and even cause a degree of liver damage, but in most cases the liver will recover once the drug is discontinued.

In these cases, doctors can monitor the state of the liver and kidneys with routine blood tests and will take appropriate action if a problem arises.

Most of the detoxification programs involve giving up certain foods and adding others. These additives are often juices, herbal teas and protein shakes, sometimes with added vitamins and fibre.

Occasionally, a lactose-free or gluten-free diet is recommended, even if there is no evidence of intolerance or sensitivity to these substances.

Obviously, alcohol and cigarettes are banished.

The most dangerous regimes involve colonic irrigation or enemas that can lead to low electrolyte levels in the body and severe dehydration.

There are special detox clinics to help heroin addicts or alcoholics withdraw from substance abuse. But unless you have such serious conditions, forget about detoxification.

Your first task is to head over to your family doctor for a consultation. Sleep apnea can be a real problem for children.

If that is the problem, you will need help from your physician.

If your son is not struggling with sleep apnea, you need to look at the rules in your home. The problem that most parents have when dealing with sleep irregularities with their children is that they are either too strict or too gentle.

Parents who are too strict leave

structure around bedtime. That means turning off the TV before 8 p.m., making time for showers and snacks and having a few moments when you and your son can talk and reinforce your connections with each other. Then it is lights out.

Promise that you are going to check in on him every 15 minutes. During check-ins, simply open his door, let him know that you are watching out for him and say good night again.

If you stick with your program, you should be able to solve your son’s sleep problems. If not, you might want to consult a child psychologist to have your son assessed.

resistant weeds IN THEIR TRACKS.

Avoid glyphosate resistance by mixing and rotating herbicides.

“

Since glyphosate-resistant (GR) kochia was first identified in southern Alberta in 2011, it has reared its ugly head in several new counties each year. While it is this province’s biggest, most-concerning weed issue to date, most scientists agree that GR kochia is only Alberta’s first taste of what may soon be many glyphosate-defying superweeds. Luckily, growers have effective tools available to slow the spread of glyphosate-resistant weeds and manage resistance as it appears—so long as they use these tools correctly.

“The answer is quite simple: to counter resistance, producers need to rotate herbicides with differing modes of action, and they need to mix products so they have multiple modes of action working at once,” says Dr. Chris Neeser, a weed research scientist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development.

“Yes, glyphosate is really cheap. But, you’ve got to think: we’re not talking about a huge investment to add a second mode of action to your tank or to change to a combined product.

If there is glyphosate-resistant kochia in your area, the value of even just delaying it getting a start in your field is certainly worth the money of a tank mix. And if you do already have

“

CLARE ROWSON, MD

We are having a nightly problem getting our seven-year-old son to sleep at a reasonable hour. He is scheduled to go to bed at 8:30 p.m. but he seldom if ever makes it.

We have tried everything. His father and I have been strict, insisting that he be in bed and stay there. That did not work. Then we tried the soft ap-

children with too much anxiety for them to settle into a decent night’s rest. Even if the children co-operate, they will not likely be rested when they are roused in the morning.

Parents who are too gentle rob their children of the rest they require.

When the choice is going to bed or sitting up to watch TV, the child is going to opt for the better options.

At age seven, he may be becoming aware that the world is not always a safe place. Death and dying are neither predictable nor understandable and this may be taking hold of his late night thoughts. Darkness seems to bring out the worst fears, so he may need reassurances at night.

The an answer is quite simple: counter resistance, to cou producers need to rotate herbicides with differing ering modes of action...

resistance, spraying a combination product will stop the resistant weed population from having an opportunity to build up.”

Glyphosate resistance can appear in one of two ways. Firstly, it can be introduced from elsewhere via transported seed. Kochia’s tumbleweed nature is ideal for dispersing each plant’s 15,000 to 25,000 seeds an impressive distance from its original growing location.

Secondly, it can evolve independently in any location. Growers’ overreliance on a single mode of action fosters the natural selection of herbicide-tolerant weed biotypes, leading to much greater chance of new glyphosate resistance spontaneously occurring.

While GR kochia is the devil we currently know, there is much speculation that GR Canada fleabane (already highly resistant in Ontario), wild oats, green foxtail or cleavers could be introduced or evolve in Alberta next.

For these reasons, all farmers—those who have experienced GR kochia and those who have not; those who farm near fields with known GR kochia and those who farm far from the nearest known resistance—should follow Neeser’s ‘mix and rotate’ advice.

“Dealing with glyphosate resistance is similar to the question of crop rotation,” says Neeser.

“Growing canola on canola may be the most profitable option in the short term but it is certainly not the best thing in the long term.

Unless you are only worried about this year’s profits and you’re planning to sell the farm at the end of the season, the right thing to do is to mix a second herbicide with a different mode of action in with your glyphosate.”

Local food demand raises safety focus Set up safety processes to reassure consumers FILE PHOTO

FOOD SAFETY TIPS:

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

• Bacteria grow rapidly in the danger zone, which is the unsafe temperatures between 4 and 60 C. Restrict the time food is in this range to less than two hours.

• Defrost and store at temperatures of 4 C or less.

• Cool hot food quickly in shallow pans in the freezer.

• Keep hot food at 60 C or higher.

• Discard food samples if displayed for more than an hour.

• Use an accurate thermometer to track the temperature of food.

• Food handlers must practice proper hygiene.

• Limit jewelry.

• Keep fingernails trimmed and unpolished.

• Wear head coverings and tie back hair.

• Change disposable gloves regularly.

• Smoke, drink and chew gum only in designated areas.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Practices that ensure the safest possible food supply become more important as farmers markets and other means of direct farm marketing grow in popularity.

Opportunities are also increasing for producers to explain those practices to consumers.

Jan Warren, a home economist with Alberta Agriculture’s New Ventures in Lethbridge,, said operations such as farm markets and U-picks have been in Alberta for years, but the movement toward eating more locally produced food has increased their popularity in recent years.

“Things have changed. What we knew about food safety in the 1970s is not good enough in 2015,” she told the North American Farmers’ Direct Marketing Association annual conference held in Knoxville last month.

“We may be raising a generation of people eating processed food, and they may have less immunity to bacteria,” said Warren.

“Because we are the trusted providers of good quality food, we want to maintain that and do not want food safety slip ups.… We have to, each one, look at what we do.”

She said hazards and risks must be identified to minimize bacterial growth.

“Set up food safety processes and assure people that you do this. People like to be reassured,” said Warren.

Control and limit visitors’ access to reduce the risk of contamination.

Have them wash their hands before starting in the U-pick patch, use clean containers and avoid picking fruit off the ground. Provide washrooms and do not allow pets.

Warren advised identifying risks and hazards and accessing programming in food safety and certifications such as good agricultural practices and hazard analysis critical control points.

Water in production systems should be tested, and chemicals safely stored. Look at how produce is harvested, stored and transported, she added.

“It’s just a matter of protecting yourself so you have some idea of what’s going on.”

Farmers and their workers are a potential source of contamination, so hand cleaning stations, hand wipes and toilets are a must. Provide hair nets, foot dips and covers for light bulbs to protect against shattering glass.

“They are little things but you have to think through food safety issues and how they affect your work,” said Warren.

Branch-line abandonment decades old concern FROM THE ARCHIVES

50 YEARS AGO: MARCH 18, 1965 Branch line abandonment and transportation rationalization were to be the themes of the Sixth National Farm and Business Forum in Winnipeg.

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR

The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: MARCH 21, 1940

Southern Alberta’s irrigation network got bigger with the addition of the Waterton River Dam, which was to be officially opened in spring.

Matt Ainslie was appointed chief grain inspector by the Board of Grain Commissioners. Ainslie worked for Manitoba Pool Elevators before joining the board’s inspection staff in 1938.

Carlton, a new variety of brome grass, became available. It was developed by R.P. Knowles of the Canada Agricultural Research Station in Saskatoon.

The Saskatchewan legislature asked the federal government to increase the current wheat price of 70 cents per bushel to a figure that would give farmers a parity price.

The Manitoba legislature asked for a 10 cent per bu. increase.

25 YEARS AGO: MARCH 22, 1990

A full page article by A.H.O. Colbert of the Dominion Experimental Station at Rosthern, Sask., encouraged hog producers to take advantage of the government’s litter testing service as a good first step toward identifying the best animals on which to base their herds.

New legislation removed short-line railways from federal jurisdiction. It was a victory for Tom Payne, who had argued that federal labour regulations were too onerous for his Central Western Railway.

The Alberta short-line was based on Canadian National Railway’s aban-

doned Stettler subdivision, and federal labour rules would have forced Payne to inherit the union that represented workers when CN owned the line.

United Grain Growers said prairie farmers expect to plant wheat on 34.7 million acres in 1990, two million more than the previous year and slightly more than the record set in 1986.

Meanwhile, 6.2 million acres of canola were expected, down from 7.1 million the previous year and the lowest acreage since 1983. In comparison, farmers seeded 19.4 million acres of wheat and 20.3 million acres of canola last year.

10 YEARS AGO: MARCH 17, 2005 The Famer Rail Car Coalition was given six weeks to negotiate a deal to buy 12,400 grain cars owned by the federal government. Ottawa’s decision was seen as a significant victory for the initiative, and coalition president Sinclair Harrison said he was optimistic.

However, the plan collapsed when

European dairy farmers fear deregulation upheaval BELVIEW PORT, Ireland (Reuters) — An histor ic deregulation of Europe’s dairy sector will cost billions of euros and thousands of jobs, a string of Irish ministers have warned.

However, many farmers in other parts of the European Union were less sanguine, fearing their liberation from 30 years of milk production quotas will only expose them to a new world of competition and an increase in already sharp price volatility.

On April 1, farmers will for the first time since 1984 have no legal restrictions on the amount of milk they can produce.

The EU is hoping the reform, which is one of the biggest in a generation, will unlock vast new markets in Asia and South America. Countries in those regions are currently supplied by rivals such as New Zealand and the United States.

Plans for expansion are underway on individual farms.

Bill O’Keefe, a farmer from south-

eastern Ireland, said he wanted to double his herd to 320 cows in a year.

His family had to pay more than US$70,000 in the 1990s to buy the quotas to increase to 160 cows from 120.

However, people working with farmers in other areas said many were waiting to see what the real impact will be, at least in the short to medium term.

“Some farmers see April 1 as liberation day, but others fear it,” said Franz Keurentjes, a board member of Dutch dairy co-operative Friesland Campina.

“The roller-coaster is coming and we will probably have to get used to that.”

Rabobank sees an increase of seven to eight percent across the EU by 2020 with the impact on prices heavily dependent on how fast the new production comes online.

“The long-term trend is upward, but the journey is going to be very, very bumpy,” said analyst Matthew Johnson.

FILLET KNIVES

Bubba Blade gets thumbs down for sharpness retention OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

I

ce fishing is still going on in many areas. But even if you’re not a fan, its not too early to get gear prepared for spring fishing.

A good filleting knife can make processing the day’s catch a lot easier.

Last year, I tested Bubba Blades filleting knives and was curious to see if the relatively expensive products stood up to the hype.

All filleting knives from Bubba Blade are made from 8CR13MOV stainless steel, which is low- to midgrade steel manufactured in China.

The blades are Teflon coated and full tang in the handle. The upswept trailing point blades come in a variety of sizes from seven to 12 inches, tapered or standard width, and either flexible or stiff.

All Bubba Blade knives share a comfortable handle design. The combination of synthetic handle material and surface texture gives a sure grip even in semi-wet conditions such as a fish shack or the shoreline.

I selected the nine inch model with standard blade and flex. It came with a functional but unremarkable synthetic sheath.

The blade was reasonably sharp out of the box but required honing before it was suitable.

The test knife felt capable and responsive, despite the larger blade.

The edge cut and sliced well once it was satisfactorily sharp. The curve of the blade coupled with the ergonomics of the handle gave a feeling of confidence, even in smaller cutting tasks.

The geometry of the cutting edge really made the Bubba Blade fillet knife perform. The curve and distance of the edge to the hand felt outstanding. The Teflon coating seemed to reduce friction when slicing through meat. The synthetic handle material and coated blade were easy to clean after use.

I selected a Bubba Blade that was supposed to have flex but found its suppleness to be limited.

The test knife was unable to retain a good edge through a day’s catch of adult northern pikes and walleyes, tearing rather than slicing the last

fish. This is likely a sign of the 8CR13MOV stainless steel coupled with poor blade heat treatment in manufacturing.

The Bubba Blade filleting knives can be bought for $60 to $70, depending on what features and size are selected.

I was impressed with the handle and overall ergonomics of the knife but was disappointed with the blade’s poor edge retention.

Fillet knives are available on the market that perform better overall for less money.

Kim Quintin is a Saskatoon outdoor enthusiast and knife maker. He can be reached for column content suggestions at kim.quintin@producer.com or 306-665-9687.

The Bubba Blade had to be sharpened before using and lost its edge after a day of filleting. |

A growing concern for your safety ‌ At FortisAlberta, there is a growing concern for the safety of farmers. Annually, FortisAlberta has about 275 contacts with overhead and underground power lines. Most of these contacts involved damage to equipment, electricity facilities and property, and each had the potential for serious injury or death.

However, each and every one of these contacts could have been prevented by proper planning.

Know the Height and Location of the Power Lines Knowing the height and width of your vehicles and equipment, including the added height of extendable or attached parts such as sprayer arms, cranes or augers, will help you determine how far away you need to be from the lines to ensure your safety at all times. Knowing the location and height of power lines in the area allows you to safely plan your work around them. Remember to always maintain a distance of at least seven metres from the nearest overhead power line when your vehicle or equipment is parked and operating. If you think you will need to work closer to the power line, first contact the local utility.

Know the Height of Your Vehicle and Equipment The size and height of equipment, particularly in the agriculture industry, has grown immensely over the past fifty years, whereas the height of power lines has remained the same. As farming season begins, FortisAlberta encourages you to familiarize yourself with the power lines on or near your land.

If you are unsure of the height of your equipment, refer to your owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to confirm. FortisAlberta also suggests that you need to take the time to factor in wires and poles in your route planning. A number of incidents have been related to driver inattention linked to vehicles being auto-piloted through GPS coordinates on route to the field and once in the field.

NORTHLANDS FARM AND RANCH SHOW FEATURES BEEF BREEDS

The Limousin breed takes the stage.

In this province, we are in the business of beef and at the Northlands Farm and Ranch Show, we want to give you the chance to get to know the diverse cattle industry in our province. That’s why each year we shine the spotlight on one unique breed of cattle and this year’s honour goes to the Limousin – a highly muscled breed of beef cattle that originates from the Limousin and Marche regions of France.

Representing a long and complex genetic lineage, distant ancestors of the modern cattle have been thought to roam the earth since as far back as 12,000 years ago. Some historians even suggest that there are ancient cave panting with images bearing a striking resemblance to the breed from more than 17,000 years ago. Although historians and geneticists have been inconclusive in tracing the exact historical origin of the breed, one thing is for certain; when it comes to their population in Canada, the breed was imported from France in 1968 and has been steadily gaining popularity in the country since. Regardless of their place in history books, today, the

Limousin breed has secured an international reputation for yielding one of the highest quality carcasses in the beef cattle industry.

At Excel Ranches located 15 minutes northwest of Westlock, Alberta, Barb Miller and her family have been in the business of breeding, producing and selling Limousin cattle since 1986 – less than 20 years after the breed’s arrival in Canada. Actively involved in the Prime Limousin Club since 1988, Barb Miller and family have been promoting the breed at cattle shows and auctions for 28 years. According to Miller, the desirability of the breed for Alberta’s beef producers comes from the length of body, calving ease, muscle shape and docility of the Limousins. With a herd of 150 head of cattle, Excel Ranches promotes integrating the Limousin genetics into your herd for curve bending genetics that will decrease calving difficulty while adding weight at weaning and natural muscle to increase profitability.

Guests at the 2015 Northlands Farm and Ranch show who are interested in

learning more about the Limousin breed can visit Excel Ranches and Hillview Farms from March 26-28 in Hall B of the Edmonton EXPO Centre. The

farms will be exhibiting their docile, powerful and stylish cattle for visitors to learn more about this breed’s place in the Canadian beef industry.

Schedule* THURSDAY, MARCH 26

How do you get to be head of the class?

For most students, cram sessions, allnighters and caffeine would top the list, but for the young men and women of the Canadian College Finals Rodeo (CCFR), it’s all blood, sweat and tears that catapults them to the top spot – but we’re sure if you were to ask, any competitors of the CCFR will tell you that it’s about more than becoming head of the class, it’s about being the head of kicking ass.

Born to ride, the collegiate athletes of the Canadian College Finals Rodeo do more than just ‘give it the old college try’.

Representing 18 colleges and universities from across Alberta and Western Canada, 120 competitors make the trip to the city to thrill the live audience at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. For many, college rodeo is just one of the stops on the road to competing professionally and eventually securing a spot at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in the big arena each November.

Some students pursue collegiate hockey, football, drama or even chess, but these athletes prefer to spend their extracurricular time in the dirt. Training in ten disciplines including barrel racing, saddle bronc, team roping and more, CCFR competitors spend their time away from school competing and collecting qualifying points at intercollegiate rodeos across Western Canada.

As the last stop on the rodeo circuit, the

Canadian College Finals Rodeo is the chance for competitors to secure a national title and add a championship buckle to their collection.

Although the CCFR takes the phrase ‘school of hard-knocks’ to a whole new level, don’t be fooled by the tough exteriors of these students – their noses are in the books just as much as they are in the dirt. In the rodeo classroom, students are pursuing both a major in adrenaline and a minor in pain. In the academic classroom, many of the competitors are pursuing degrees in animal and veterinary sciences, engineering, education and trades to name a few. Balancing books and bucking can be a challenge for competitors, as qualifiers are required to maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average while completing full time studies and maintaining an active membership in the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association – a student run organization that promotes rodeo as an extracurricular activity.

Although the CCFR competitors represent nearly 20 colleges and universities, Lakeland College and Olds College are currently the only major institutions in Alberta with rodeo clubs and associations where students have access to on-campus rodeo arenas, weekly practices, coaches and support. Just don’t get yourself sent to this administrator’s office, because this school’s

2015 FEATURE EQUINE BREED – THE CANADIAN HORSE At this year’s Northlands Farm and Ranch Show, we are pleased to fly the flag of one of Canada’s official animal symbols – the Canadian Horse. As the 2015 Northlands Farm and Ranch Show feature equine breed, the Canadian Horse embodies the phrase “true north strong and free” – so much so that the Canadian Parliament declared it the national breed of the country in 1909 and was made an official animal symbol of the country in 2002 by Parliamentary Act. Originating from New France, the Canadian Horse is said to be the descendant of a group of 12 horses sent to Canada by King Louis XIV in the 17th century. During this time, the Canadian Horse thrived in Canada and by the mid-19th century, there was said to be upwards of 150,000 Canadian Horses in the country. Things took a turn during the American Civil War, where thousands of Canadian Horses were shipped from Canada to the United States to aid in battle. It was in battle that many of them were killed and coupled with other mass exports, the Canadian Horse faced near extinction by the late 19th century. Inconsistent success in breeding programs and efforts to raise the breed’s popularity aided in a slow rise in popularity, but it wasn’t until the 1970’s where campaigns of promotion and preservation began to re-establish the stock. Today, the Canadian Horse has a global population of less than 5,000 – giving them the status of rare breed and leading the Livestock Conservancy to still consider them threatened.

Despite the struggles to maintain the population, this breed is as Canadian as they come. Quite, calm and reasonable, these co-operative horses make ideal breed for driving, dressage and even jumping. Even more interesting is their history in law enforcement. Criminals coming to this year’s Northlands Farm and Ranch Show beware, because the Canadian’s cool-headedness and high tolerance for excitement has earned them a badge on the Montreal Police Force – as the department currently employs a cavalry of 10 to serve and protect the city streets.

The name game They say you can tell a lot about a person by their name and the same rings true for the Canadian Horse. Unlike other breeds, the Canadian Horse is subject to some surprisingly strict and mandatory naming regulations that are used for identification. Like their fellow countrymen, the Canadian Horse has three given names which can be likened to a first, middle and last name. The first name, or prefix, represents the farm the horse was born into, the second being the name of its sire and the third is the given name of the foal. It is often the last name that the horse if referred to, and for this name, a different letter of the alphabet is assigned with the year the foal is born. For example, the letter ‘A’ was assigned to 2013 and the letter ‘B’ was assigned to 2014. This year, all fouls that are born from January 1 – December 31, 2015 must have a name that starts with the letter ‘C’.

Interested in learning more about the national equine breed of Canada? Join us in Hall A of the Edmonton EXPO Centre from March 26-28 during the Northlands Farm & Ranch Show.

FERTILIZER INVESTMENT

Mosaic plans expansion at Sask. potash mine Official says the Esterhazy K3 mine expansion is an effort to keep ahead of the competition

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Mosaic Co. has announced a $1.7 billion investment in its K3 mine at Esterhazy, Sask.

The spending comes on top of $1.5 billion announced in 2009 when the first stage of the project was approved.

Walt Precourt, senior vice-president of potash, said the company’s board of directors had spent the last year analyzing the project and how it could be further developed.

“Now is the time in, our opinion, to invest in Saskatchewan,” he told reporters.

“At times, when others sometimes pull back, you see opportunity and that’s what got us to the decision today.”

The additional investment will accelerate plans for increased production over the next eight years. K3 is expected to begin mining potash ore in late 2017.

Ore from K1 and K2 will also be fed into existing mills, Precourt said.

He said potash prices have softened a bit, which stretches the company’s investment dollar. More workers are also available.

There will be more than 300 construction jobs throughout the project, plus all the spinoffs in service

Mosaic says the $1.7 million investment at Esterhazy, Sask., will create jobs and provide economic spinoffs to the province. | and support. Precourt said the company will spend $300 to $400 million on equipment that many Saskatchewan companies will likely bid on.

The Esterhazy mine was the first in Saskatchewan and is the world’s largest.

“This is our home,” Precourt said.

He said the company’s 50-year-old roots in the province were a factor in the decision to expand because the long-standing presence provides insight into when to expand.

Premier Brad Wall thanked the

company for its continued commitment to the province, including establishing its head office in Regina.

He said total capital investment by all potash companies since 2007 has been more than $17 billion, and the number of full-time employees in potash mines after construction has gone up by 42 percent to nearly 5,000 people.

“The potash industry has played a starring role in the growth story that is our provincial economy,” he said.

“In fact, the potash industr y,

along with our thriving agricultural sector, will see us through some uncertain times with respect to the energy sector.”

Precourt said the province has created an investor friendly climate, but he declined to comment on where potash prices are headed or the province’s royalty structure.

The K3 mine will add at least 900,000 tonnes of capability at the site, according to the company’s prior announcements.

“Right now we’re not announcing how much additional capability

MOSAIC CO. PHOTO

will be there because we learned in o u r Ca n p o t e x p rov i n g r u n , o r capacity run, we did a year ago that we have some unharnessed capability. We’re still analyzing,” Precourt said.

When asked about the potential for over-production, he said all commodities go through cycles.

“You can either choose to let your competitors set the environment or you can chart a path forward and set it yourself.” karen.briere@producer.com

AGRONOMY

Strip-till system reduces fuel, fertilizer but adds labour Grower says the reduction in fertilizer use may be linked to the ability to target the root zone with no hot spots

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — An Iowa striptiller told farmers at the Innovative Farmers Association of Ontario conference Feb. 24 that the practice is saving him fuel and fertilizer.

Jeff Reints has been using a Dawn Pluribus unit since 2008 and recently moved up to a 24-foot unit that he pulls with a 400 horsepower Steiger tractor. It’s a spring operation that combines tillage with the even distribution of fertilizer in the eight inch wide and five inch deep strip.

“My favourite time to go is 24 hours before the planter. You can even go a half day before the planter.”

The temperature in the tilled strip can be 5 to 6 C warmer in the strips, especially if the sun has been shining, he said.

There are drawbacks. The operation adds to the spring workload and if the machine breaks down, planting must stop. As well, it can be a challenge to line up fertilizer deliveries.

However, Reints sees more in the plus column.

He said there’s even less time to complete the strip-tillage in the fall, while spring timing also allows the family to be more flexible in terms of crop choice.

Over-wintering provides more time for corn stalks to break down, and the chances of erosion within the strip are less.

He uses less horsepower and fuel with a ground speed of slightly more than eight m.p.h. The ground tends to be mellow because of the winter’s freeze-and-thaw cycles, and he pulls fewer stones from the ground.

“We got rock in northeastern Iowa.

reduce their fertilizer and fuel use compared to a conventional broadcast system.

“This works better than chopping stalks, running through with a deep ripper and two passes of conven-

tional tillage,” Reints said.

“We are getting better efficiency out of the fertilizer. We’re using about 75 percent compared to a conventional system.”

He said his ability to reduce fertilizer

may be linked to placement because it’s just where the roots want it.

Jim Patton, who farms rolling ground northwest of Alliston, Ont., said he’s been able to reduce fertilizer by a similar amount with his John Deere 2510S Residue Master striptillage system.

Reints said corn emergence from his strips is even, and he may be benefitting from biological activity between the strips where the soil is not disturbed. His farm’s soil quality is below the county average, but it been able to exceed county average yields for the past six years.

PROGRAM FUNDING

Hunting, fishing licences to cost more in Alberta

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta has announced fee increases for hunting and fishing licences that will take effect April 1.

Increases will apply to many but not all fishing and hunting licences issued in the province.

In a news release about the fees, e nv i ro n m e nt a n d s u s t a i na b l e resource minister Kyle Fawcett said increases were requested by the Alberta Conservation Association to help fund programs that support fish, wildlife and outdoor activities.

Examples of those include fish stocking programs, lake aeration, rehabilitation of native fisheries, pheasant release programs and various hunting and fishing events.

Todd Zimmerling of the ACA said hunters and fishers would support a fee increase “as long as we used the funds to increase our conservation efforts.”

The increase is expected to raise an additional $2 million, which will be used by the ACA on its programs, said the release.

The cost of a resident sport fishing licence will rise to $28 from $25.66 and a resident white-tailed deer hunting licence will rise to $39.95 from $36.95. Those are only two examples of the new fee structure.

Fussy eating habits can be challenge in feedlot Cattle that eat only zero nutrition bedding straw must be forced to change or risk emaciation or hypothermia

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Non-eating cattle are difficult to pick out of a group in the first month, but producers need to know how to treat them before it becomes too late, warns a veterinarian.

“I think the key there is most cases will have an industry term of “straweater ” put on them,” said Kent Fenton of Feedlot Management Services in Okotoks, Alta.

“They will stay on bedding packs with straw and eat just that straw.…

They don’t adjust to eating out of a feed bunk and they don’t adjust to the new feedstuffs in front of them.…

They even step up to the bunk at times and put their head in there to hide because they don’t want to get pulled because they get so sick of being treated for not being sick.”

Studies are inconclusive about why some cattle prefer to eat bedding straw with zero nutritional value instead of the high quality, high energy feed put out for them.

“I don’t know why that would be more palatable than a nutritious ration that every other animal in the pen likes,” Fenton said during the Feedlot Management School held earlier this year in Saskatoon.

“That’s why I call it behavioural because I don’t know. Is it something in their background that they only prefer roughage, even if there is very little feeding value in it? My gut feel is that it’s not genetic. It’s behavioural, it’s learned.”

However, he said the solution is simple and straightforward.

“I have broken that habit with different cattle like that by removing the

“They are not inappetent. They will be hungry and they will eat other feedstuffs at that time if they have to.”

He said it’s a matter of training the calf by making the choice easier for it. Differ-

ent feed could include grain or a portion of grain mixed with silage or hay.

“You just need to force them to eat more energy dense things. Typically we’ll feed them on the ground, haul pails of chop out there and round tub feeders for a period of time,” he said.

“It seems difficult to remove straw

in the winter months because you want them to be warm, but I have had situations where the only resort has been to remove the straw and force them to eat a different feedstuff.”

Wood shavings are a possible bedding alternative to straw.

Fenton said non-eating is not a well-documented condition because it is difficult to recognize.

“You absolutely can’t see it (at the auction mart),” he said.

The problem usually surfaces in feed yards during fall when cattle might arrive thin.

“It (non-eaters) clusters by purchase group,” he said.

“What I mean is at the auction mart if you buy 10 calves in small groups and there’s three that die, they’re all from that same group of 10. It comes in cattle of all different sizes and breeds and all different times of year.”

Fenton said the disorder is not an issue of feedlot management.

“They’re outliers and they may not adapt,” he said.

That’s as close as we can get.”

Time is critical for tackling the disorder, particularly if the winter cold lingers and cattle fail to adapt for a few weeks. Then the problem will become serious.

“They live off the bedding pack and they don’t die until 30 days on feed when it hits -38 C and the wind starts blowing,” he said.

“In background yards, if I’m going to highlight one health issue, this is it.

Once you’re going to get two (dead), you’re going to get 20.” All those cattle died of emaciation or hypothermia.

They died because they’re too thin.

“On grass they’ll be fine. They have some kind of behavioural issue that they won’t start on feed. Nothing is going to help unless they get more energy into their rumen, a lot of it quickly. Best answer I’ve got.” william.dekay@producer.com

Soy slows in Brazil’s top state

CP union ratifies new labour contract

QUERENCIA, Brazil (Reuters) — Farmers in Brazil’s top soybean growing state have not seen their yields improve for more than a decade, even as older agricultural states farther south squeeze larger crops from smaller parcels of land.

Mato Grosso, which is responsible for one-third of Brazil’s soy output, is harvesting another record crop this year, thanks to expansion in planted area.

However, its lagging productivity could start limiting potential output in Brazil when new fields are no longer available.

“Ten years ago, we were told we would be harvesting an average 70 bags per hectare (28 bags per acre),” said farmer Vilson Rockembach in Querencia, a town in northeastern Mato Grosso where farmers are achieving yields of 22 bags per acre this season.

Government data shows the state’s yields rose only three percent over 14 years, while productivity jumped 46 percent in the far southern state of Rio Grande do Sul and 15 percent in Parana, another southern state.

Specialists point to multiple reasons, and farmers question new genetically modified seed varieties that are supposed to control pests as well as boost productivity.

“The conventional seeds I have planted for the past 12 years are getting the best yields this year,” said Neuri Wink, who has farmed in Querencia for two decades.

Mato Grosso’s soybean farmers are now coaxing two annual crops from the state’s tropical soil: one of soybeans and another of corn or occasionally cotton. “Second crop” corn produced in the state increased 12-fold in the past 15 years.

As a result, farmers want to harvest soybeans as quickly as possible so that they can plant their second crops, which has potential consequences for soy yields, said Alexandre Cattelan of the state-run farm research institute Embrapa.

“Because they want very shortcycle seeds, much of the time they aren’t using varieties with the best productivity,” he said.

Farmers in southern Brazil started migrating north to Mato Grosso 40 years ago, lured by seemingly endless land and more frequent rainfall. The area planted with soybeans in the state has tripled since 2000-01.

The rain pattern reversed this year with parts of the south receiving above-average rainfall, accentuating the variance in productivity.

Soil quality in parts of Mato Grosso is also considered inferior to the south, especially on the newest farms, many of which were recently used to graze cattle.

“New farms in the first year, when soil correction has not had the proper impact, drag down average yields,” said Nery Ribas, technical director of the Mato Grosso farm association Aprosoja.

Stagnant yields are not merely hurting the pride of Mato Grosso’s farmers but could also soon hurt their wallets in a season where the cost of importing seeds and fertilizers is skyrocketing while international soy prices fall.

MEAT PROCESSING

No-antibiotic McChicken will cost producers McDonald’s pending ban in the U.S. on treating chickens with medications used for humans is expected to increase production costs CHICAGO/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — McDonald’s Corp.’s decision to phase out human antibiotics from its U.S. chicken supply will add to production costs in a tight-margin business that are likely to be borne mostly by poultry companies.

McDonald’s has given its producers two years to eradicate all antibiotics that are used on humans from barns and hatcheries.

It’s going to be expensive and may take longer than planned: switching to antibiotic-free chickens could

increase on-farm costs by up to three percent.

Perdue Farms said it’s taken more than a decade and millions of dollars to make such a change.

McDonald’s will use its purchasing muscle as the world’s largest restaurant chain to avoid passing extra costs on to customers, who are increasingly lower income as more affluent diners prefer competitors such as Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., say analysts including Morningstar’s R.J. Hottovy.

Marion Gross, McDonald’s senior

vice-president of North America supply chain management, declined to say how much the company’s costs for chicken could increase. Instead, she said the project is “an investment” to meet customer demand.

Veterinary use of antibiotics is legal, but controversy has grown over routine feeding of antibiotics that are important to humans to otherwise healthy chicken, cattle and pigs in a bid to stave off disease and help the animals grow more quickly.

The risk is that overuse could spur the creation of antibiotic-resistant

bacteria that develop cross-resistance to antibiotics used to treat humans.

Reuters found last year that major U.S. poultry firms were administering antibiotics to their flocks on the farm far more pervasively than regulators realized.

The poultry industry maintains there is little evidence that bacteria that do become resistant also infect people. However, more restaurants and retailers are heeding the concerns of consumers, which has strained meat supplies.

Last year, sandwich chain Chick-filA gave its producers five years to meet its commitment to go antibiotic-free for chicken. Perdue is a major supplier to Chick-fil-A. Costco Wholesale Corp., the third largest retailer in the U.S. that annually sells 80 million rotisserie chickens, said it has a “large” appetite for chicken free of these medically important antibiotics.

The company is aware of the supply difficulties and won’t commit to a timeline, said Craig Wilson, vicepresident of food safety for Costco.

Some of the extra costs of cutting out antibiotics may be borne by franchisees, which could cut labour hours, waste and utility costs to offset higher meat prices.

However, most analysts expect McDonald’s to push the costs back onto its suppliers, who may not have the market power to resist. The top four U.S. chicken processors control 53 percent of the domestic market, according to the National Chicken Council.

McDonald’s “carries a lot of clout with suppliers,” and some of them are dependent on the chain for survival, Hottovy said.

Tyson and Keystone Foods, part of Brazil-based Marfrig Global Foods SA, both said they have significantly reduced medically important antibiotic use in their flocks and are positioned to meet McDonald’s and other customers’ needs. However, neither company would answer specific questions about how such drugs are used on-farm and in hatcheries.

Perdue, the fourth-largest domestic chicken producer, began removing antibiotics used for growth promotion in 2002 amid consumer questions about what was being put into the animal feed, said Bruce Stewart-Brown, senior vice-president of food safety, quality and live operations.

More than 95 percent of the chickens it produces are now raised without antibiotics approved for human use, and more than half are raised with no antibiotics of any kind, according to the company.

The transition led to unexpectedly high bird mortality rates, a need for more chicken houses and spending at least US$4 million more a year on vaccines than rivals who haven’t made the switch.

Stewart-Brown said birds raised without antibiotics also take three to nine days longer to reach their market weight, or as much as 20 percent longer than conventionally raised birds.

McDonald’s two-year deadline is “a really fast time frame to do it right and be predictable to your customers and your supply,” Stewart-Brown said.

Birds raised on farms without antibiotics take longer to reach optimal slaughter weight, resulting in higher feed costs and death rates, which forces companies to increase the number of eggs produced at the hatcheries, said Tom Elam of FarmEcon, an agricultural consulting company.

“The ones that aren’t quite as good with keeping up with their biosecurity, it’s going to cause some issues,” Elam said.

“This change is not free.”

BEES OVER BORDER

Manitoba apiarists want end to bee import ban Ontario and British Columbia are reluctant to open the border, citing disease and pest risks

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Beekeepers in Manitoba are not giving up.

Despite a 28-year ban on importing American bees into Canada, the Manitoba Beekeepers’ Association continues to lobby for an exemption from the embargo.

Association members asked the federal government to lift the U.S. import ban in 2013, following a year when 46 percent of Manitoba bee colonies failed to survive the winter.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency denied the request that fall because its scientists said American bees pose a “high probability of introducing diseases and pests into Canada.”

The association has now proposed an alternate solution in a discussion paper posted on its website: maintain the ban but allow Manitoba apiarists to import packaged honeybees from northern California.

President Allan Campbell, said the association posted the document to stimulate discussion around the issue.

The Canadian Honey Council passed a resolution at its annual meeting this winter encouraging its members to review Manitoba’s idea.

Canada banned the import of packaged bees from the United States in 1987 when the varroa mite parasite was found in American bee colonies.

Varroa mites spread to Canadian bee colonies many years ago, but the ban remains in place to protect Canada’s beekeepers from other threats, such as the Africanized honeybee, small hive beetle, antibiotic resistant American foulbrood and varroa mites with resistance to miticides.

High winter losses force Manitoba beekeepers to import bee packages — a queen and two or three pounds of worker bees — from Chile, Australia and New Zealand, but the cost is significantly higher than U.S. bee packages.

Manitoba Agriculture and the provincial beekeepers association, which collaborated on the discussion paper, said permitting imports of California bees would increase the supply, lower the cost of bee packages and help apiarists rejuvenate Manitoba’s bee industry.

The association evaluated the biosecurity threat and concluded that packaged bees from California are unlikely to jeopardize Manitoba or Canadian bee colonies because the risks for Africanized honeybee, small hive beetle and antibiotic resistant American foulbrood are negligible.

The risk associated with resistant varroa mites are low.

The association said Manitoba beekeepers already import queen bees from California and would likely buy bee packages from the same suppliers. As a result, the biosecurity risk around pests such as the American hive beetle wouldn’t change significantly.

Banning bees from the U.S. isn’t totally effective because the two countries share a border, said Rheal Lafreniere, Manitoba’s provincial apiarist.

North Dakota has more bee colonies than any other state and bees can easily fly into Manitoba.

“A complete importation ban doesn’t (completely) protect us from risk… There’s always going to be a level of risk,” Lafreniere said.

“With all the bees that come to North Dakota, we have to recognize that those risks are basically coming to our doorstep.”

Rod Scarlett, executive director of the Canadian Honey Council, said Alberta and Manitoba beekeepers strongly support opening the border to U.S. bees, but apiarists in Ontario and British Columbia are hesitant because of the biosecurity risks.

Scarlett said part of the issue is time

and weather because spring arrives earlier in B.C. and Ontario.

“I think they (Alberta and Manitoba beekeepers) can get domestic supply but a month later than when it’s needed. So it doesn’t do any good.”

Lafreniere said Manitoba might be missing an economic opportunity because demand for bees for honey production and pollination services is increasing in North America.

Transporting bees to locations where pollination is needed, such as California’s almond orchards, has become a massive industry.

Almond growers pay $180 to $200

for a hive of bees, and California uses 1.6 million colonies a year. Using those estimates, almond pollination is worth $288 to $320 million a year.

Lafreniere said Canada’s pollination industry is likely to grow as blueberry production increases in the Maritimes and orchards expand in Ontario and B.C. “I don’t have a crystal ball, but we might have a migratory (bee) industry here at one point in time, and Manitoba may be involved in that industry.”

ANIMAL WELFARE

Animals treated better, but issues still exist Calm down and stop screaming at cattle, says expert

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Animal welfare activist Temple Grandin spoke about issues surrounding large scale agriculture, including health problems caused by pushing animals too hard through genetics and drug use. | DAN YATES PHOTO

Animal welfare has improved since the 1990s, but there’s still room for improvement, says a world renowned animal behaviourist.

“Slaughterhouses were easy. They were easy fixes. We didn’t have to rebuild these plants to fix them,” Temple Grandin said of her pioneering work with major meat processors

Increase your yields by using Authority and removing weeds early Kochia and cleavers were put to rest by a group 14 mode of action with extended residual weed control. Lamb’s quarters, redroot pigweed, wild buckwheat and others met the same fate. Authority is registered in peas, flax, soybeans, chickpeas and sunflowers. www.fmccrop.ca

and buyers that brought improved handling, curved chutes and nonslip flooring to slaughterhouses.

“Now some of the farm things are going to be harder to do.”

For example, she said today’s small U.S. cattle herd means fewer animals are being vaccinated.

“We had 40 percent of our feeder calves going into market with no vaccinations because the price of cattle is so high that there’s no economic (difference) between vaccinated and non-vaccinated, so the rancher has no incentive at all to do it,” she said in an interview following a presentation to a packed room of students and faculty at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine March 11.

“When the price of cattle gets low, and there’s lots of feeder cattle around to put in the feed yards, the rancher can get a premium price for his prevaccinated calves and gets financially rewarded. Right now, cattle prices are sky high, feeder cattle are scarce. Feed yards have got to fill the hotel up, so they’ll buy anything.”

The Colorado State University professor and noted autism activist was at the university to help the veterinary college launch a new animal welfare fund to support research.

Big agriculture isn’t bad, said Grandin. It’s efficient and low cost, but it’s also fragile. Delays at port, as seen in the United States and Canada in recent years, can shake up business.

Likewise, systems can push animals too hard. Grandin pointed to pig herds and poultry flocks that are vulnerable to disease and cases of lost hooves in cattle fed the beta agonist Zilmax.

A new label has been approved for Zilmax at a reduced dosage since those cases in 2013.

“It all gets down to pushing biology too hard,” she said.

“You push biology too hard either genetically — you look at the race horse who breaks its legs, that’s genetic — or you push it too hard with just feeding it nothing but corn or you push that animal too hard with beta agonists. There’s a point where the biology just starts to fall apart.”

Cattle handling has improved at U.S. feed yards, but Grandin said she knows it can still be an issue at auction yards, where the people handling the cattle don’t have the same vested interest. These are problems with inexpensive fixes, she added. It’s a matter of training and management.

“The first thing I’d do is calm down, stop screaming and yelling,” she said.

“If you’re working cattle in the feed yard, you bring 10 up at a time, not 20, so they’re going to have to walk a bit more. That’s something that can be improved by just changing management. I don’t have to spend hardly any money to improve it.” dan.yates@producer.com

AGRONOMY

Bigger canola seed might not make a difference Researchers found no difference in emergence, yield or quality between the sizes of 3.96 and 5.7 grams per 1,000 seeds

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Agriculture Canada researchers have found that canola seed size many not affect emergence and yield above a certain threshold.

They conducted trials at nine prairie sites in 2013 evaluated the performance of canola seed ranging from 3.96 to 5.7 grams per 1,000 seeds.

The scientists found no significant difference in canola emergence, yield or seed quality.

“It is noteworthy that seed size did not influence canola emergence. One might assume enhanced recruitment with larger seed given greater resources to reach and penetrate the soil surface.

“However, the lack of a seed size effect on canola emergence is consistent with other studies,” the authors wrote in the paper, which was published in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science this winter.

“It is possible that there is a threshold canola seed size that optimizes canola emergence and yield…. If such a threshold exists, canola emergence and yield benefits from seeds with weights (sizes) above the threshold would be unlikely.”

Neil Harker, an Agriculture Canada research scientist in Lacombe, Alta., and lead author of the study, said larger seeds do provide an advantage but only when compared to tiny canola seeds.

“When you had really small seeds, around three grams per 1,000 (seeds) and that size, then you might get some emergence differences that others have talked about in the past,” he said.

“In recent times (with relatively larger seed size), emergence (has) already reached a stage where it’s not going to change (improve).”

The scientists evaluated four canola seed sizes — 3.96, 4.6, 4.8 and 5.7 grams per 1,000 seeds — at two sites in Saskatoon, Scott, Sask., Melfort, Sask., Lacombe, Fahler, Alta, Beaverlodge, Alta., Carman, Man., and Brandon.

The researchers detected no correlation between larger seed size and increased yield, with the exception of Scott.

“Given these data, we reject our hypothesis that canola seed size would influence yield,” they wrote in the paper.

Harker and his colleagues didn’t provide a threshold seed size where emergence and yield benefits plateau for canola, but they did find other benefits from larger canola seeds, such as more biomass at the six-leaf stage.

“Which suggests the plants might be growing a little faster with the larger seed,” Harker said.

“It looks like days to flowering happens more quickly with the larger seed, and it finishes flowering more quickly. Both of which are positive because … the longer flower happens the more risk you have of high temperatures.”

The difference in days to flowering was relatively small: The 3.96 grams per 1,000 kernel seed took slightly less than 63 days to reach flowering.

The 5.7 grams per 1,000 kernel seed took less than 62 days to reach the flowering stage.

Agriculture Canada has found there may be limits to how much seed size affects canola yield. |

“But every day that canola growers can avoid high temperatures during the flowering period is important,” the authors said.

Harker said the larger canola seeds do have disadvantages.

For example, growers who plant seeds that weigh 5.7 grams per 1,000 seeds might not put a sufficient number of seeds in the ground.

“We’ve had this old (rule) of five pounds per acre forever,” he said.

“As the seed gets larger and larger, it’s pretty hard to get the right plant population if the seed size is increasing and you’re putting on the same weight of seed.”

For example, if one grower receives seed that is six grams per 1,000 kernels and a second farmer has canola seeds weighing four grams per 1,000 kernels, the second grower will have 50 percent more seeds.

Murray Hartman, an Alberta Agri-

culture oilseed specialist, said canola hybrids typically range from four to five grams per 1,000 kernels, but weights higher than six grams are possible.

“It often comes on the bag, but when you’re ordering the seed, you don’t know what the 1,000 kernel weight is till you get it,” he said.

Harker and his fellow researchers said farmers who plant larger canola seed should increase seeding rates to ensure that a sufficient number of seeds get in the ground.

“As seed costs increase, growers are pressured to reduce seeding rates,” they said.

“A failure to consider seed numbers for a given weight of seed may threaten canola yield potential.”

The Agriculture Canada researchers also studied the relationship between seeding rates and canola yield by looking at two rates: 75 seeds per sq.

CDC Austenson

metre and 150 seeds per sq. metre.

They found that the higher seeding rate didn’t increase canola yield.

“There is some (research) that suggests (higher yields with higher rates),” Harker said. “(But) the seeding rate doesn’t give you a yield advantage unless you’re comparing too low to normal.”

Harker said ideal growing conditions in 2013 might have skewed the seeding rate results because germination rates were unusually high.

“We happened to do this experiment in 2013 … where we had plenty of moisture all the way across the Prairies,” he said.

“If you want to say what the No. 1 determinant of getting seeds out of the ground, it’s moisture, and No. 2 is moisture and No. 3 is moisture.” robert.arnason@producer.com

No-till agriculture involves understanding soil biology, how to improve it: expert System is about more than equipment; it’s crop rotations, residue management and cover crops

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

CHATHAM-KENT, Ont. — Odette Ménard’s interest in no-till began with equipment, but the soil specialist with Quebec’s agriculture ministry now relegates hardware to a supporting role.

“No-till is not the solution in itself,” she said at Tomato Day March 3. “We have to get into the whole system.”

Ménard said transitioning to notill or zero-till is a bit like running a marathon. The ability to finish the distance requires a full commitment to a training regimen.

Farmers must focus on crop rotation, residue management and cover crops and understand their soil resource from the perspectives of biology and physical dynamics.

It’s in these last two areas that farmers might begin.

Ménard advises farmers to dig a couple holes in their fields, about 75 centimetres across and 75 cm deep, choosing high and low producing areas.

Hopefully they will find sweetscented, crumbly, well-textured soil and the absence of compacted

zones. If not, at least they will have gained an understanding of the current situation.

Soil tests can also be useful, but farmers should look beyond nutrient availability to organic matter, which is one measure of soil biology.

Another is the presence of earthworms. Ménard said farmers may be able to count 12 middens for every 10 sq. feet of healthy soil when worm activity peaks. That’s about 500,000 to 600,000 middens per acre.

The middens represent just one earthworm species. There can be 25 earthworms per sq. foot of soil, and earthworms represent just 20 percent of the living biological mass of the soil.

“In one handful of soil, you can have up to 10 feet of fungal mycelium and up to a billion bacteria,” she said.

“About 95 to 98 percent of the organisms in the soil are good guys.

Only two to five percent are bad, but they can be pretty tough. That’s when we’ve killed off too many of the good guys.”

Tillage is tough on soil life, as is the absence of residue and living plants, whether it be crops, cover crops or both.

“Brown is bad, gold is better and green is great,” she said.

Ménard sees no-till and cover crops as the means to move forward in an agriculture era dominated by continuous cropping systems.

She said the plow made sense in certain respects a century ago when there were mixed farms and horsepower. Farmers did not turn all their land over each year. Some fields were in pasture or forage and others were left fallow to rest so that they could biologically regenerate their fertility.

The plow, when applied to sod or fallowed land, release that stored fertility, controlled weeds and temporarily improved drainage.

Cultivation continued to be used with the advent of chemical fertilizers, but there were also drawbacks, Ménard said.

Erosion became a concern, biology an afterthought and the farm community forgot why it had used cultivation in the first place.

Today’s continuous cropping systems, crop rotation and cover crops better harness solar energy by tapping into the biological potential of the soil on an almost year-round basis.

Soil structure is improved and along with it water infiltration and water-holding capacity.

Soil bacteria stop working only at 10 C and fungi at 0 C.

Bird movement

rules lifted in B.C.

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has lifted the restrictions placed on the movement of poultry in British Columbia.

It’s been more than a month since avian influenza was last detected on a British Columbia poultry operation, and permits are no longer required for movement of birds and bird products within the province.

International requirements are still in place , which restrict all exports.

The CFIA established the primary control zones in Januar y in an attempt to stop the spread.

Almost 250,000 birds have tested positive for avian influenza and been destroyed to try and eliminate the disease since the outbreak Dec. 1.

Surveillance by the CFIA has not detected the H5N2 and H5N1 strains of the virus in domestic poultry since Feb. 2.

All infected premises have been cleaned and disinfected. Three of the 11 premises are under quarantine for the remainder of their 21-day quarantine period to satisfy international requirements.

Surveillance testing of domestic poultry will be conducted throughout B.C. for 90 days following the completion of cleaning and disinfection of all infected premises. mary.macarthur@producer.com

INNOVATIVE FARMERS CONVENTION

Organic profits, methods spark conventional interest Incomes are higher, expenses lower, soil is healthier and absence of chemicals is good for the environment, says expert

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — The murmur of conversation died when the organic speaker displayed his corn income numbers at the Innovative Farmers of Ontario conference.

Jeff Moyer, farm director with the Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania, had finally caught the full attention of his audience.

He said typical conventional farmers, including those who use tillage and no-till producers, harvested 150 bushel corn and netted $192 and $122 per acre, respectively, based on corn priced at $4.13 over a recent three-year period.

Organic tilled and organic no-tilled corn returned $992 and $996 per acre when based on organic corn prices of $8.36 per bu.

“In general, organic systems can yield as well as conventional systems, except in wet years or dry years,” Moyer said.

“Then they tend to do better.”

Moyer was drawing on long-term, plot data at Rodale, which compares conventional systems with two organic rotations: one animal-based and the other legume-based. The financial numbers were produced using the Mississippi State University’s budget generator.

“If you’re looking at your farm as a business model and you’re not looking at organic, you’re missing the boat,” Moyer said.

“Our incomes are higher, our expenses are lower and, ultimately, our net returns are three times as much. It’s not like it’s even close.”

Moyer also made an argument for the positive environmental outcomes of organic practices.

Generating fertility by feeding and stimulating the soil biology with cover crops and wider rotations is core to organic agriculture. Producers must also consider the absence of chemical sprays and fertilizers derived from fossil fuels, he added.

“Our goal has been to keep something green and growing on the soil at all times.”

He said some organic farmers have also started practicing no-till agriculture using a thick cover crop of at least 5,000 pounds of dry matter per acre.

Moyer said 8,000 lb. is better, and he’s seen the system work with as much as 15,000 lb.

The cover crop, especially if it includes a legume, helps generate crop nutrients and discourage weeds.

Organic gardeners have long used thick mulch for the same purpose.

Moyer typically uses tillage when establishing cover crops. They need to be planted in a timely fashion to generate enough biomass.

“If all you want to do is grow corn and soybeans, you’re not going to open up the cover crop window very wide,” he said.

Roller-crimpers are used to kill the cover crop instead of herbicides.

Rodale has posted plans for the machine on its website at www.rodaleinstitute.org.

“As long as your cover is in full bloom, you can kill it,” he said.

Moyer said Rodale has settled on a roller/crimper design with the steel crimper blades arranged in a chevron pattern.

This makes for a smoother operation compared to having the blades horizontal to the ground.

The roller/crimper is often frontmounted, which allows a planter to be pulled behind the tractor.

Moyer said planting into a thick mat of material may not provide the best environment for the seed. As a result, the institute recommended a higher seed rate of 32,000 seeds for corn and 200,000 for soybeans.

He showed a photograph of a Pequea planter with residue slicers, Yetter shark-tooth residue managers and 130 lb. of added weight per

JEFF MOYER RODALE INSTITUTE

row unit.

Moyer said the mechanics of the system have come far, but there’s still much to learn. He cited the example of soybeans yielding 38 bu. per acre when planted on June 1 compared to 59 bu. when planted in the same field

into the same cover crop one week earlier.

The system is now being tried on larger acreages, including a farm in Wisconsin where 640 acres of soybeans were planted into crimped rye and a 34,000 acre Argentine farm that’s transitioning to organic.

“We know the system can work and we know it can work at scale,” Moyer said.

“We’ve eliminated the use of herbicides and tillage in this system, both of which can kill soil microbes.”

IFAO member Blake Vince has planted corn into a multi-species

cover crop on his farm near Chatham, Ont., but he used a spring glyphosate burn-down. Vince said he was not ready to rely only on roller-crimping.

The Rodale Institute was established in 1947 by J.I. Rodale, who coined the term “organic agriculture.”

It launched its Farm Systems Trial in 1981 to compare organic and conventional systems using large 60 by 300 foot plots.

Moyer said scientists have used the long-term trial to generate 46 peerreviewed articles.

SASKATCHEWAN ASSOCIATION OF RURAL MUNICIPALITIES

Sask. RMs nervous about coming budget cuts Everything is on the table, including the revenue sharing formula, premier Brad Wall warns SARM delegates

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s rural municipalities were told “everything is on the table” as the province contemplates deep budget cuts because of declining oil revenues.

That includes the Municipal Revenue Sharing program, which distributes a portion of provincial sales tax revenue among urban and rural municipalities and northern communities.

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall told delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention that oil prices are half what they were when he spoke to them a year ago.

“The impact is between $600 (million) and $800 million less in revenue to the government, (which is) between a five and seven percent reduction in revenue for Saskatchewan,” he said.

“A revenue decline of this kind won’t bring the operations of government to a halt, but it is serious and it needs to be addressed and it will be addressed.”

Wall made the comments before the scheduled March 18 provincial budget announcement, which occurred after The Western Producer’s publication deadlines.

He told delegates it will be a balanced budget, which means cuts are coming to government programs.

“Every expenditure must be reviewed, and that includes revenue sharing,” he said.

Municipalities receive one per-

centage point of the five percent PST collected by the province, which amounts to $257 million in 2014-15.

Rural municipalities will receive $72.6 million, or 28 percent, of the total with the remainder going to urban municipalities and northern communities.

Wall said the revenue sharing program was introduced to help municipalities share in Saskatchewan’s prosperity.

However, revenue sharing funding has increased by more than 100 percent since the program was introduced in 2007-08, while the money pouring into provincial coffers has increased by only 20 percent.

“There is a bit of a disconnect there,” Wall told SARM delegates.

The premier later told reporters his government is considering freezing revenue sharing dollars, which are at record levels.

However, he also said he may not touch the program at all because it could result in a hike in municipal taxes or reduced infrastructure spending by ROMs. “It’s the last resort for us as we look at the budget. It would be the very last resort,” he said.

Wall said infrastructure spending will remain intact despite the mas-

SARM — BUDGET REVIEW

Hike in education tax hinted Sask. budget may see higher costs for taxpayers

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall is contemplating rebalancing the way education is funded in the province.

Education property tax is one of the many programs under review as the province comes to grips with a $700 million reduction in oil revenues.

“Everything has to be on the table as we work towards a balanced budget for the province of Saskatchewan,” Wall told delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ annual convention.

Taxpayers paid 60 percent of education costs before Wall’s Saskatchewan Party took office in 2007, with the province picking up the remaining 40 percent.

That was reversed in 2010 when the government introduced the largest education property tax reduction in the province’s history. There was also a 75 to 80 percent reduction in property taxes on farmland.

Education costs have since escalated because of more teachers, higher salaries and new schools.

The higher costs have changed the ratio, with the province now paying

two-thirds of the bill and taxpayers picking up the remaining one-third.

Wall said the province would never revert back to the days when taxpayers were picking up 60 percent of the tab, but it might be time to consider getting back to the 2010 ratio where they were paying 40 percent.

“That’s one of the options that we’re looking at in a tough budget,” he later told reporters.

Wall said the final decision on education property tax will be made March 18, when the government unveils its provincial budget. However, that will take place after The Western Producer’s publication deadline.

Tinkering with the education property tax formula doesn’t sit well with SARM president Ray Orb. “We’re not going back on education tax,” he said. “There’s no discussion on education tax.”

Orb said education property tax reform was such a long process and such a politically sensitive issue that he doubts the province will tinker with the formula.

sive reduction in oil revenue.

SARM president Ray Orb is a little nervous about what might happen to revenue sharing in the upcoming budget, but he was comforted by what he heard from the premier in his speech.

“I didn’t get a sense there would be a big cut to it,” he said.

Orb said RMs depend on that money for infrastructure investment, especially for communities where extensive spring flooding has occurred.

He said all of the province’s resource development occurs in rural areas, and the economy will slow down if those communities have less money to spend on infrastructure projects.

“I don’t think the province wants that.” sean.pratt@producer.com

However, he quickly followed that comment by acknowledging the sorry state of many of Saskatchewan’s highways.

“We know we have so much more work to do with respect to roads in this province,” said Wall.

Nancy Heppner, minister of highways and infrastructure, said the government is investing a record amount every year on highways.

She said the Saskatchewan Party has been whittling away at a $1 billion deficit on road spending that it inherited from the New Democratic Party seven years ago.

“We’re not just maintaining what we have, but we’re building for tomorrow,” said Heppner.

Her legislative secretary has driven more than 14,000 kilometres of Saskatchewan highways to identify problem areas.

“Our lists in the ministry aren’t necessarily the same as your lists,” she told SARM delegates.

Heppner said the province will

continue to upgrade the highways that are most in need of repair.

“We have a short construction season and limited dollars. Like I said, we’re getting to them when we can,” she said.

Gilbert said the two highways leading to Rowan’s Ravine Provincial Park are in terrible condition, which was brought to light when a local grocery store surveyed people who used the park.

“They thought the park was great except for the trip there and back and they will not come back, they said, just because of the roads that they have to go through.”

Wall agreed that it is important to ensure roads leading to provincial parks are in decent condition.

“You’ve got to be able to get there.

You want to be able to pull your trailer or tow your Oldsmobile there if you need to,” he said, eliciting another laugh from the SARM crowd. sean.pratt@producer.com

TOUGHER EASIER

No programs in works to help young farmers Gov’t loans, tried in the past, didn’t work: ag minister

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister doesn’t have comforting words for young people wanting to start farming.

“I don’t like to give false hope to people who don’t have a farm family backing them or a lot of capital coming into the game,” Lyle Stewart told delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities’ annual convention.

“It’s just not an easy thing to get started in.”

Stewart was responding to a SARM delegate seeking government help for young farmers entering the business.

Brekke Masse, administrator for the RM of Wood River, said her husband quit a job in the construction industry in 2007 to work the farm where Masse was raised.

The couple farms together with her husband’s parents and his brothers so that they can share capital expenditures. However, they are still finding it hard.

“The cost of land and high prices for inputs make it difficult for young people such as my husband and I to establish our own identity on our family farm operation,” Masse told Saskatchewan’s provincial cabinet during the convention’s bear pit session.

She said “booming yields” and strong commodity prices have kept young farmers afloat the past few years, but that won’t always be the case.

Masse thinks the province could provide tax credits for young producers or increase the capital cost allowance.

“I’m asking this government to consider assisting young farmers,” she said.

Stewart said the barriers to entry in farming have been a problem for government as far back as he can remember.

“And I can remember back quite a ways,” he said.

“There are no easy solutions.”

Farming is such a capital-intensive business that it is extremely difficult for anybody who isn’t part of a succession plan to become a farmer.

Stewart said Saskatchewan has tried lending money to young farmers, but it didn’t work well. The province also ran a land bank program more than 30 years ago, in which the government bought land and leased it to producers.

“That didn’t really help either,” said Stewart. “The vast majority of producers who took up either the loans or the land bank land have been gone for decades now.”

Stewart said he is open to any suggestions on how the government can help young producers get established in the business.

Rural municipalities don’t want to deal with the environmental headache of used grain bags.

“Some producers are very responsible and clean up their bags and recycle, and we appreciate that,” said Lorne Scott, reeve of the RM of Indian Head.

“But others choose to leave their bags, burn them, bur y them in sloughs, coulees, bush and whatever.”

The RM wants the province to pass legislation allowing RMs to properly dispose of grain bags when farmers neglect to do so and provide a means for recouping the disposal costs.

“It is time that retailers and users of grain bags, not the RM, be responsible for funding a proper grain bag disposal program,” Scott told delegates attending the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention.

The proposed resolution didn’t sit well with one delegate, who said the

few bushels of leftover grain in the grain bags could cause a rat problem in the RM yards, which are typically located in towns.

“I don’t think we want to go there,” he said.

“How do you go onto somebody’s property and pick up grain bags? I don’t think this is something the RMs want to get involved in.”

The resolution was defeated, but another put forward by the RM of Torch River passed. It asked SARM to lobby the province to implement a refundable deposit program run by grain bag retailers.

“In the RM of Torch River, it is almost impossible for us to dispose of our grain bags because it is over a 100 kilometre drive just to get them some place that might or might not take them. At the moment, they’re not taking them,” said a spokesperson for the RM. “We feel that it’s about time that the producers of this stuff start picking up their own mess.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Bergen Outfitter ATV Trailer The Outfitter’s Special -This model was originally created for outfitters to be able to transport hunters or fishers along with their gear to their favourite spot. Once others caught sight of it they found many other uses for this unique trailer, and it has found its way to auction companies, tour guides, farms and ranches, as well as hunting camps across North America. Though it is still extremely popular for outfitters to haul all their gear along with the hunters having their own seat, families with kids now enjoy it as a way to make chores more fun! Dimensions - Length: 88 inch, Width: 48 inch, Depth: 24 inch, Seat: 16 inch x48 inch. Specs - 2-2000lbs tandem walking axles, 14 ga. sheet metal, weight:561 lbs.

OIL, GAS WELLS

Surface rights legislation back to drawing board More consultation needed: economy minister

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan agricultural leaders say they don’t know why the government pulled a bill last week that would have modernized surface rights legislation.

The province began consulting stakeholders in August 2013 on what they wanted in an updated act. The resulting bill was on the order paper last December but was never introduced, and economy minister Bill Boyd withdrew it March 9.

He said the issues are complex, and more “unique situations” were coming forward even after the extensive consultation.

“Trying to strike a balance between the (energy) industry and the interests of farmers and ranchers is very difficult,” Boyd said.

“Almost every (oil and gas) well is unique in Saskatchewan, whether they’re in close proximity to a livestock operation, industrial location, or a farming operation, someone’s home, small communities, rivers, all of those kinds of things make the legislation very complex and trying to make sure we cover off all of the situations as best we possibly can is going to be very challenging, I would say.”

Boyd said stakeholders continued to raise more issues, such as single well pads versus multi-well pads and horizontal versus vertical wells.

He said the best thing to do is take another look at the legislation, which was first enacted in 1968 and remains largely unchanged despite amendments over the years. The government can then consult again and reintroduce the bill.

“In addition to that, we have to keep in mind as well that we’ve seen a pretty dramatic drop in oil prices,” Boyd said.

“There are a lot of jobs, a lot of families’ income that is in the balance here that we have to keep in mind.”

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said he thought the government had perhaps decided “not to rock too many boats” with oil prices dropping so steeply.

“We were quite happy with some of the (proposed) changes,” he said.

For example, the current bill allows for a maximum $1,000 in compensation to be paid for damages caused by an energy sector operator, which Hall said clearly doesn’t go far in 2015.

The bill’s regulations were to establish a new maximum.

As well, additional compensation isn’t available to landowners for more than one well per pad, which is something APAS wants to see.

Hall said the bill could have come forward as a framework, with details coming through regulations afterward.

Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Doug Gillespie said his group wanted to see land valued as industrial rather than agricultural when oil and gas development takes place. It also supported removing pipelines and flow lines from the surface rights act.

“By leaving them in under the jurisdiction of the surface rights act, it

eliminates landowners’ ability to effectively negotiate with gas and oil operators,” he said.

“We strongly support an annual payment for pipelines and flow lines.

Landowners need to be fairly compensated for ongoing use of the lines that are on their property.”

Gillespie said he hopes the government pulls the bill and undertake another round of consultation.

Boyd said another version might come forward next fall. karen.briere@producer.com

POULTRY

New quota deal means slower growth for some Two processors protest agreement that redistributes some of Saskatchewan’s new quota allocation

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan is supporting a new national quota allocation agreement, even though it means foregoing future growth.

The new deal doesn’t mean chicken producers in the province won’t see new quota allocation, but expansion in

the supply managed business might not come as fast as it has in the past.

“Over the course of 10 years, this will amount to roughly a million (fewer) kilograms of chicken in a province that right now is producing 57 million kg of chicken,” said Clinton Monchuk, chief executive officer of the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan. “Put into perspective, it’s extremely small.”

He said the deal has been received well by producers but has drawn protests from two processors operating in the province.

The provincial agriculture ministry has confirmed that Sofina Foods and Prairie Pride Natural Foods are appealing the new agreement. The province’s Agri-Food Appeals Committee will hear the complaint.

The memorandum of understanding, which every provincial marketing board signed, came after six years of negotiations. It will see 55 percent of future growth based on “provincial comparative advantage factors,” which include population growth and quota use.

Producers in Alberta and Ontario stand to gain the most from the 10-year deal.

“Lots of consultation took place. It wasn’t something we just pulled out of our back pocket and threw on the wall,” said Monchuk.

“It was something that was negotiated, and compromise was needed to get a solution.”

Monchuk told the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan meeting that Saskatchewan has been allocated 777,000 kilograms of new production over the last four eight-week production cycles.

It would have been given 71,000 kilograms less under the new formula.

Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan is still forecasting growth of 3.5 percent for this year.

“Seventy-one thousand kg in four

Chicken producers in Alberta and Ontario will benefit most from a new quota allocation agreement that gives greater consideration to population growth. | FILE PHOTO cycles works out to about 121 birds per farm per cycle,” he said.

“That’s three-tenths of nothing.”

The province has had a higher growth rate than other provinces since 2000, he added.

Alberta Chicken Producers had pulled out of the federal-provincial agreement in 2014, citing issues with quota allocation. This deal, once it is signed by the provincial supervisory boards that oversee the supply managed sector in each province, will bring Alberta back into the fold.

“As long as you have all of the 10 provinces agreeing to a way to allocate chicken in the future, then everybody is going to be together,” said Monchuk. “Once you have slivers going off — Alberta leaving the agency, possibly some other province leaving in the future — that puts into jeopardy the whole system.”

Monchuk’s analysis shows that

producers in B.C. and Quebec would have seen the largest drops in new allocation, but every province would still gain quota.

Quota allocations have been more aggressive recently as high beef and pork prices prompt consumers to buy more poultry products.

“Those that think this agreement needs to be tweaked a little bit to better address their own concerns must do so with the clear realization that it will unravel the whole thing,” said Yvon Cyr, vice-chair of Chicken Farmers of Canada.

“This agreement represents a careful balance of give and take all around. I firmly believe that this agreement is the best agreement that we could reach because it is the only agreement that could be reached in that six years of work.” dan.yates@producer.com

Derailed car derails farmers’ deliveries Cargill says it is ‘working diligently’ to repair track

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Cargill says it is working to fix the damage after a single car derailed at its terminal near Balcarres, Sask., last month.

However, at least one customer said it’s taking too long.

The company said the car derailed Feb. 13 at the elevator, resulting in a short-term impact to its business.

“We are sympathetic to the inconvenience this may have caused for our customers and are working diligently to repair the damage as soon as possible,” it said.

Richard Rumancik, who farms in the area, said he had contracted half his wheat to move through the facility in February but didn’t haul a bushel.

He finally got the call to deliver March 6.

He said the problem occurred when Canadian National Railway was picking up cars and one derailed, hitting the tower that holds the overhead restraining system. The two centre tracks of the four at the siding were also damaged, he said.

CN spokesperson Brent Kossey said the tracks are owned by the customer and he was not aware if the company had asked CN to fix or pay for damages.

Rumancik said these kinds of situations are frustrating for farmers who have bills to pay.

“I was really ticked off,” he said.

“Everything is overdue. I haven’t hauled anything all of February.

There’s lots of guys in the same boat.

As far as I’m concerned, this winter is no better than last winter because there’s lots of grain that’s not moving.”

He hopes to haul all his contracted wheat this month. He said deliveries to other companies for other commodities have also been slow, and he blames the railways for that. karen.briere@producer.com

FACILITY EXPANSION

Prince Rupert port to hike capacity VANCOUVER (Reuters) — Maher Terminals Holding Corp. will boost container handling capacity by more than half at the Port of Prince Rupert under an expansion of its container terminal.

The Fairview Container terminal at the northern British Columbia port will be expanded to more than 1.3 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) per year, up from its current capacity of 850,000 TEUs. Construction is set to start in April and is expected to wrap up by mid-2017.

The $200 million expansion project will include a second deep-water berth, four additional cranes and land reclamation work to expand the existing container yard. Rail loading capacity at the port will also be boosted.

Canadian National Railway, which operates the only rail line at the port, said it will continue to invest in capacity improvements on the route from Prince Rupert to key U.S. markets such as Chicago and Memphis.

Sixty to 70 percent of container imports at the port are destined for cross-border markets, while container exports are dominated by Canadian shipments of wood and grain products.

Container handling capacity at the port has risen steadily since the terminal opened seven years ago.

JCB agriculture growth on fast track Smooth riding tractor gives control over speed

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The side door access to the Savannah, Georgia, built JCB track and skid steer loaders means the single lift arm system offers a safer access to the operator’s seat. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTOS

SAVANNAH, Ga. — A faster, smoother ride is only part of the story for JCB in agriculture.

Known better in Western Canada for its construction equipment, JC Bamford’s history in agriculture stretches back to its first product, a dump wagon, which its founder created in 1945. The company’s worldwide sales are now about US $11.5 billion annually.

Twenty-four years ago, JCB sped back into agriculture with the world’s fastest production tractor, the fully suspended, disc-braked Fastrac.

Material handling is a large part of what JCB does in its construction division, as well as in agriculture in the rest of the world outside of North America.

However, that is changing for the

privately held British company. JCB has doubled its agricultural business in North America in the past five years and intends to keep up the pace, said Richard Fox-Marrs, the company’s director of global agriculture.

“Internationally, we are No. 1 in agricultural material handling,” he said, adding that the company is focusing on its North American market growth in that area.

The company builds its side-entry, skid-steer loaders in a plant in Savannah, Georgia, one of 22 on four continents. The loaders use a single lift arm and will accept competitors’ standardized compact attachments.

The skid steers and compact track loaders are becoming a much bigger part of JCB’s growth in agriculture.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | MARCH 19, 2015

LEFT TO RIGHT: A tilting cab and large rear door offer easy access for maintenance to JCB skid and track loaders.

JCB has an articulated telescoping wheel loader. The TM320 and smaller TM220 are making inroads in North American agriculture.

The front axle of the JCB Fastrac shows the reason it can provide a smooth ride over a field at up to 25 m.p.h.

It also comes with disc brakes.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE While the company isn’t as well known in North America for its backhoes or compact loaders, the machines are a standard in Europe and other parts of the world.

“For a backhoe, or (compact loader), people say, ‘we’ll get in a JCB to lift or dig it out,’ ” said Tim Burnhope of JCB’s worldwide development group, based in Staffordshire, U.K. For 2015, its smaller loaders have Tier Four Final compliant 1.9 and 2.5 litre Kohler diesel engines, which JCB helped develop. In the bigger-framed version, the company’s own Ecomax 4.4 liter engines are resident.

Both use small, “single can” emissions systems that have no postexhaust treatment, said Fox-Marrs during a dealer training event in Savannah recently.

JCB’s agricultural side has long been led by its 42 m.p.h. Fastrac tractor.

The latest model, the 4000 series, is still fast and rides smoother than any other tractor in the market, but has added emissions-compliant horsepower and other refinements.

Now with up to 320 horsepower in the 3000 series and one of the largest cabs in the industry, the fixed-frame tractor is known for its speed, suspension, ABS braking and four-wheel steering.

The suspension system is able to squat down for loading three-point hitch and mountable equipment.

The new 4220 model has up to 235 h.p. from its Agco-Power engine, backed up with a new CVT transmission with multiple operator-selectable modes, depending on the work at hand.

Dan Schmidt of the company’s agriculture division said the new cab’s design was based on farmer requests so that it would “be like a combine’s cab. Bigger even. With a wide view. And an air-ride seat that swivels a lot.

“That’s what we gave them with 50 degrees of swivel right (and 20 to the left). If you need to look behind the machine, you swivel around. It’s more like looking to the side then, easy on the neck.”

The Fastrac machine’s front and rear suspension provides a ride that makes the tractor a successful four-wheeldrive sprayer chassis when the booms and tanks are mounted to the frame.

Field speeds of 26 m.p.h. are possible with the front axle levelling system, which keeps the ride height even, no matter what implement is attached or mounted or how full a tank might be.

Fox-Marrs said the side to side levelling, along with a fore and aft system, means rough fields and fast operating speeds are “always comfortable, and

that translates into more productivity.

The control it gives means the machine is safer, too.”

Telematics have been a bigger deal in the North American and European construction industry for several years, but the ability to remotely monitor and manage farm machinery is also becoming popular. JCB has brought it, as well as GPS guidance, to the new Fastrac line.

A new 38 U.S. gallon per minute hydraulic axial piston pump is new for the 4000. A secondary, dedicated gear pump handles steering, so there are no capacity issues when the machine is taxed during a turn.

A rear three-point hitch is standard and boosted by 30 percent for this year, up to 17,600 pounds. An optional front lift can carry 7,700 lb. Front power take-off is also available.

The new machine is pre-drilled for a front end loader, and an optional sun roof allows the operator to view the loader at work, up high. The company also kept a pair of windows that open. “(It’s) something farmers wanted,” said Ray Bingley of JCB. Bingley said a small, articulated telescoping boom pay loader, the TM220, is another addition to the agricultural lineup.

“It really took off in ag, farmers really like the higher, centred cab position (compared to low, offset t e l e h a n d l e r s, w h i c h J C B a l s o makes),” he said.

The new, Kohler-powered 74 h.p. telescopic wheel loader replaces the paired arms on a wheel, or pay, loader with a telehandler’s mono-arm.

The company offers a larger version, but the new smaller one is compact enough to fit a variety of farming applications and still be big enough to take on buckets up to 6.5 cubic yards.

Fox-Marrs said telehandlers are still new for ag in North America.

“They use front end loaders, skid steers. Telehandlers are really suited to ag. High lifts, bales, bulk bags, feed. The ability to place things safely. With useful buckets,” he said. “We think farm size and productivity increases will drive the adoption of this machine.

Farming is materials handling.”

The TM220 also offers crab, four wheel and two wheel steering, which allows it to work in tight spaces. The boom can reach up 15 feet and out 10 feet. It can also lift 4,400 pounds. michael.raine@producer.com

Efficient energy storage needed to reduce use of fossil fuels ENERGY FIELD

torage is often a challenge in our daily lives and it holds true for energy too.

With all of the commonly cited problems of using fossil fuels, more people are starting to look at how to store energy from other sources.

One of the oldest of all energy sources, wood, used in stoves for heat and cooking, is still used by a large portion of the world’s population, sometimes by first making charcoal.

More recent technologies include wood fibre in compressed form such as pellets. Biomass can also include other grasses, field crop residues and algae.

Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide, as does fossil fuel. However, the replacement plantings will absorb carbon dioxide, so in principle, the use of biomass is climate neutral.

However, scarce heating resources in developing countries often result in deforestation and soil erosion.

Biofuel, which can be thought of as biomass in liquid form, has become popular recently. It has the same benefit as fossil fuel in terms of its ability to be stored and used in a different time and place. It can also replace gasoline and diesel.

However, biofuel is controversial because its production takes fossil fuel to produce. As well, it removes food crops from production, which can make food more expensive.

Water is another natural source of energy storage. Water wheels that powered grain mills were one of its first uses, and dams would store water to provide for continuous use.

Hydroelectric dams now serve a similar purpose. Stored water is kinetic energy. Power is produced when water is released to the electrical turbines. Production is proportional to the amount of water and the distance it falls.

However, dams can also have environmental impacts because they flood land and disrupt ecosystems.

Water gives up energy when it forms ice and re-absorbs it when it melts. Ice was used to preserve food be-fore electric refrigeration.

In its most crude form, a hole in the ground was partly filled with water, which froze in the winter.

As warmer weather arrived, the ice was maintained by covering it with early insulation, such as wood chips and straw. Food was lowered into the hole to stay cool and retrieved when needed. This was effective well into summer.

Urban residents had ice boxes, which were cabinets that contained regularly delivered blocks of ice.

Unless climate change is extremely dramatic, winter regions will always have ice-making capability.

Ice storage technology has been updated for milder climates. Ireland’s Dundalk Institute of Technology uses intermittent wind power to freeze water in storage tanks, which allows the ice to run the chillers to cool one of its buildings.

Water towers store water but also energy. Water is constantly pumped into a high tower for future availability, which could be described as a sort of water battery. The reserve capacity allows more rapid drawdown at strong pressure when daytime demand is high because of the height of the reservoir. This saves the need for large pumps and more costly day-time electricity.

Off-grid solar photovoltaic systems use lead-acid batteries similar to those used in automotives to store electrical energy from wind turbines and solar systems. Energy is captured in the batteries when the wind blows and the sun shines and is stored for later use when the wind stops and the sunlight disappears.

Electric and hybrid vehicles use lithium-ion batteries that can be charged overnight when power rates are lower or in daylight from solar sources.

Âť CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE States are starting to use battery storage on a larger scale. It helps with peak power consumption because battery-stored energy can be released into the grid quickly: faster than any other source.

This kind of storage helps develop intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.

In a way, the electrical grid facilitates storage. Supplying renewable energy forms such as wind and solar energy to the grid means other energy sources can be withheld from the grid, such as slowing down a hydroelectric source or shutting off gasfired power generators.

Fuel cell technology was intro-

duced 20 years ago, but it is developing slowly.

Fuel, usually hydrogen, is stored in a cell with electrodes. Electrical current and water are produced when oxygen is introduced. The cells can be transported, which means they can be used in vehicles. Conventional or renewable energy can be used to produce the hydrogen by separating hydrogen and oxygen from water (H2O).

Compressed air storage is in its infancy. It uses energy from generating stations at night, when they are generally under-used (most often burning coal). Compressed air is stored in salt caverns or large storage pipes, where it is later used to operate a turbine in hours of high power consumption.

Solar thermal systems extract energy during sunlight hours using solar thermal collectors and store that heat in tanks containing water.

The energy is used to heat domestic water or provide heat to a building space at some time in the near future.

Geo-thermal heating systems can store excess energy (heat) in the ground during summer. Some of it can be retrieved, albeit only at the start of the long heating season.

For the cold north, the holy grail of energy storage is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;sock awayâ&#x20AC;? summer heat to use through the winter.

No economical solution is in sight, but the desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuel is driving research, so perhaps long-term storage problem will be solved in the future.

TRACTORS

Delta Track Creeper slow, powerful

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow.

At .95 m.p.h. and 1,800 r.p.m., the Delta Track Creeper from Winnipegâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Versatile is the slowest moving, high horsepower tractor on the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there is a lot of tile (drainage) happening out there. It takes power, and slow is good for that job,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Reid of Versatile, fresh from showing it off to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dealers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first one of its kind out there.â&#x20AC;?

The tractor model is based on the heavy duty Scraper Special version o f t h e a r t i c u l a t e d , f o u r t ra c k machine.

The ability to run at full hydraulic flow and drawbar capacity at the low speed allows for single pass, irrigation line or tile drainage plows to work without compromising the machines or the quality of the job.

Camoplast is providing a new track for the Creeper. Those come in 30 or 60 inch widths and will have extra tall but narrow tread bars and an additional fabric layer that connects the drive lugs to the traction belt on the inside of the tracks.

Prices for the Delta Track Creeper start around $475,000. | VERSATILE PHOTO Reid said the tracks are designed for loose and slippery soil. Camoplast is projecting additional track life from the new 6500 model tracks.

The Creeper is available in three horsepower configurations: 450, 500 and 550. They will be powered by the Cummins QSX 15 litre engine pushed

through the Caterpillar TA22, 16 speed, power shift transmission.

Reid said the top speed of the tractors is lower than on other models, but for many producers that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as large a priority as having the lower gearing in the field. michael.raine@producer.com

COOL DECISION

ONE TALL ORDER

WTO ruling on COOL may spark retaliation Canada has threatened duties on US. products if it wins the challenge

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — The World Trade Organization is expected to release its fourth ruling on the U.S. country-oforigin labelling law May 18.

It is anticipated that this most recent challenge of COOL will be in Canada’s favour, giving it the right to apply for retaliatory tariffs against U.S. imports on everything from meat to mattresses.

“Our view is after May 18 we need to increase the message to make the issue seem as real and imminent as possible,” John Masswohl of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association said during the organization’s annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-12.

Dennis Laycraft, CCA’s executive vice-president, said Canada must demonstrate to the WTO how COOL affected trade using documentation of financial damage to the red meat industry.

“At the end of the day, the arbitration process will sift through all of the facts and decide on the number,” he said.

“Once we have that number, this is the basis we are going to apply retaliatory duties.”

The beef and pork sectors have said they have suffered $1.1 billion in losses, but an arbitration committee must examine the evidence before permitting the full extent of the tariffs.

The tariffs would stay in place until the issue was resolved, even if the U.S. appealed them. Masswohl said this could take another two years.

The chair of the U.S. Senate’s agriculture committee suggested a North American label last year, but it was not feasible because it left no opportunity for processors to voluntarily label domestic meats as product of the U.S. COOL laws went into effect in 2008.

Canada and Mexico challenged it three times at the WTO, which ruled it discriminated against imported cattle and hogs. Labels must include where the animals were born, raised and slaughtered.

The law covers most imported commodities, including fish, produce and meat sold at large retail outlets. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

Cattle movement tracking flawed The CCA has commissioned a report on how often cattle are moved and where they go

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — One of the first steps in bringing a contagious animal disease under control is figuring out where livestock have travelled.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency needs to know during an investigation where animals are and if they were in high risk areas such as auction barns or assembly yards where disease could spread.

The CFIA considers three elements under Canada’s livestock traceability regulations: animal identification, premises identification and animal movement.

Most livestock are individually identified and more farms are registering their premises, but tracking movement is full of gaps, said Pat Hayes of the Canadian Cattlemen’s

Association’s animal health committee.

“We are at a loggerhead with CFIA over the traceability file, and there was no good information,” he said at the CCA’s annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-12.

The association has commissioned the consulting firm Serecon to figure out where cattle go and often how they are moved.

The study used 2013 statistics and relied on information from AgriTraçabilité Québec and Livestock Inspection Services in Alberta for much of the data.

ATQ is the mandatory Quebec traceability program and LIS is the brand inspection service. Both have good records, said Bob Burden of Serecon.

British Columbia, Alberta and

Saskatchewan have brand inspection that records cattle transactions, while other provinces gather information from manifests and producer records.

The research has discovered that Canadian cattle probably move 3.5 times in a lifetime.

Movement is estimated to be 2.7 times in Alberta, where checkoffs are collected every time an animal is sold.

The patterns of movement indicate that animals travel from farm to farm, fairs, pastures, auctions, feedlots, export and slaughter.

“The main funneling, if you will, are really the farm to slaughter or a feedlot to slaughter or from farm to a backgrounder,” said Burden.

Eastern cattle appear to move more often, which may be because more fat animals are sold at public

auctions than in the West.

Western cattle probably move less because more are sold electronically via computer or video sales. Most producers support electronic sales because they are less risky and cattle stay at home until delivery, which results in lower stress and weight loss.

The final numbers did not always tally up, and the researchers weren’t sure why. Slaughter numbers and exports were probably the most reliable.

“We know in the past there have been huge debates about movement and commingling sites,” said Matt Taylor, who is also working on the study.

“This isn’t perfect data, but it is the best we have at the moment.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CFIA INVESTIGATION

Details on BSE case examined The inspection agency is looking into feed supplies, farm practices

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — The investigation into Canada’s 19th case of BSE could take four or five months, says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s chief veterinary officer.

“We are trying to build a complete, comprehensive stor y for us to explain to our trading partners that we have a system which is capable of tracing and actually instilling the confidence that we are following the right methodology,” said Dr. Harpreet Kochhar.

He provided a summary of the latest case at the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting in Ottawa March 10-12.

The case is unique because it involves a cow born after the 2007 enhanced feed ban. It also came from the northern Alberta farm where Canada’s 17th case was diagnosed.

The animals were not related.

“There is no sign or evidence that this was a vertical transmission, that is, from mother to daughter,” he said.

Three lines of inquiry are underway.

All the animals that were potentially exposed to the brain wasting disease are being traced.

The investigation also examines feed supplies, how they were manu-

factured and where they originated, while a third direction will examine the farm’s practices.

Kochhar said it is a family owned operation, and all members have been co-operative.

The purebed cow was born in 2009, so investigators are tracing cattle born on that farm between 2008 and 2010 because they may have eaten the same feed.

As many as 750 animals could be involved in that group, but it does not mean they have BSE. Where and when Investigators estimate that 45 to 55 percent of those cattle went to slaughter at 18 to 24 months of age, while another 10 percent were sold as breeding animals or exported. Ten to 20 percent are alive and can be traced. Another small group died of natural causes.

Seven to 10 percent cannot be traced, but that is considered to be an acceptable number under international standards.

“We have a pretty good idea of where they might be,” he said.

Case 17 was born in 2004, which has prompted trading partners to ask what happened in 2006 and 2007.

Cattle born in that period will be included in the investigation.

The feed investigation is complex because the farm obtained feed from various sources.

Investigators are checking which feed mills were used, if they are still in business, their practices and where they bought ingredients.

The CFIA will also check to see if milk replacers were used and if they may have contained risk material.

“Nothing is standing out at this point,” he said.

The farm investigation will document the handling and disposal of dow ner and dead animals. All records will be checked and farm practices will be examined to see if there was a chance leftover old feed was used.

South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, Belarus and Peru have temporarily halted trade. All requests for more information are provided within 18 to 24 hours.

Hong Kong, Philippines and Singapore expressed concerns, but Canada was able to reassure them about the investigation and they did not close their borders.

Kochhar said daily conversations are held with the United States, where trade continues. Japan, another major trading partner, is also continuing to buy Canadian beef. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

nfectious disease research has largely focused for the last 125 years on understanding the relationship between harmful bacteria pathogens and the animals or people they infect.

The success of this bug vs. host approach has led to enhanced understanding of infectious diseases and has contributed to preventive interventions such as water sanitation, vaccination and antibiotics.

Indeed, few achievements of modern civilization rival the perhaps unglamorous successes of water and sewage hygiene in the prevention of bacterial disease and enhancing quality and length of life.

However, this traditional pathogen-centric view of biology and disease has also neglected the role of the “good bugs” in health.

Until recently, there were but limited means to study the complex ecosystem of healthy bacteria that live on and within animals.

The usual method to study bacteria requires culturing on agar plates, but only one percent of bacteria can be grown in laboratory settings this way.

The remaining 99 percent were not identifiable and thus beyond the reach of scientific investigation until modern DNA technology became available.

Within the last 20 years, these DNA t e c h n o l o g i e s a n d s u b s e q u e nt advances in computing power gave scientists the means to investigate the remaining 99 percent. The result is the growing field of microbiome research.

Capturing information about these complex bacterial communities has necessitated the development of new methods to interpret and analyze the massive volumes of data generated by this type of research.

Similar to the vastness of space, it is difficult to wrap one’s head around the enormity and complexity of these bacterial communities. A common point of reference is that there are more bacteria in your gut than the total number of people who have ever lived.

Microbial communities within an animal are constantly changing and adapting, just like the ecosystems we can see with the naked eye. They consist of complex interactions between plants, soil, animals and insects.

Animals have co-evolved with their resident bacteria communities, probably for mutual benefit.

Bacteria in and on their hosts provide protection from harmful bacteria and metabolize food. Perhaps an extreme example of this mutually beneficial relationship is the rumen in cattle.

This large second “stomach” is essentially a massive fermentation

vat, which has allowed grass-eating ruminants to thrive on high-fibre diets that are unsuitable to many other animal species. The bacterial communities within the rumen degrade the food into a usable form.

Scientists are just beginning to understand of the role the microbiome plays in health and disease.

For example, disruption of the intestinal microbiome through abrupt changes in feed is suspected to cause several diseases, including colic in horses and certain clostridial diseases in calves and lambs.

Antibiotic treatments are greatly disruptive to these communities because they are incapable of distinguishing between good and bad bacteria. Some evidence suggests that intestinal bacteria never quite return to the composition they had before treatment.

Antibiotic treatment can select for resistance among good bacteria.

When a nasty pathogenic species such as salmonella comes along, these resistance features can be promiscuously shared. This is one of the reasons for concern about widespread antibiotic use, particularly in animal feed.

Intestinal bacteria exert their influence directly on the intestine as well as throughout the body. Locally, they play an important role in regulating intestinal function.

Since the gut functions as the largest immune organ in the body, changes to gut bacteria affect the entire immune system.

There have been intriguing connections between the type of gut bacteria and several health conditions.

Specifically, studies have linked altered bacterial communities with obesity in mice and people. Transfers of these obesity-associated bacteria from obese to non-obese mice have led to the development of obesity among the recipients.

The ability to modify intestinal bacteria holds promise for treating a variety of diseases. In cattle medicine, this is already commonplace.

Rumen transplants involve taking rumen juice from a healthy donor and instilling it into the rumen of an ill animal to get its rumen back in working order.

There is still lots to do and understand, but this age of microbiome research is an exciting one.

RUMINANT PERFORMANCE

Evening cut improves forage Adjusting harvest timing improves sugar content and protein synthesis

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Research indicates there is a simple, no-cost method of increasing feed value in sweet forages.

Cut them in the evening.

Research scientists Gilles Belanger of Agriculture Canada and Robert Berthiaume of Valacta have studied forage sugar content and feed value.

They presented some of their findings March 4 in a webinar organized by the Beef Cattle Research Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By increasing the sugar concentration in forages, you can improve the performance of ruminants,â&#x20AC;? said Belanger.

Research shows forages increase their sugar content as they photosynthesize during the day. Maximum sugar content is achieved 11 to 13 hours after sunrise in alfalfa, timothy, tall fescue, red clover and some other forages.

Studies included both spring growth and summer regrowth. Both showed that evening cutting increased sugars, which are also known as non-structural carbohydrates.

Belanger recorded as much as five percentage units more sugar in some cases from evening versus morning cut forages, but the average was 1.8 percentage units.

The material will lose sugar as it sits

in the field after cutting, but will still have more than morning cut forage at the end of the wilting period, he added.

Sugars are maximized if the forage is cut in the evening and then ensiled the next day. Silage will have better fermentation with lower pH and ammonium concentration.

Berthiaume discussed research on beef and dairy cattle feed intake and its relationship with forage sugar content. He studied animals fed from two feed bunks, placed side by side.

One contained forage cut in the morning and the other had forage cut in the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Very early on, the animals definitely preferred the p.m. cut hay,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cattle are able to detect the presence of sugars, probably through the smell, and do eat more.â&#x20AC;?

After a time, intake between the two forages evened out. Researchers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a good explanation for this, but speculated that animals instinctively try to balance the supply of sugars and protein in the rumen.

He also studied the sugar effect in pastures by managing cattle access through strip grazing. Animals were enticed to eat in new pasture at 7 p.m., noon and at night.

Results showed cows that were offered new pasture in the morning lost a small amount of weight over

the summer, while their calves gained about 1.2 kilograms per day.

Cows that were offered a new strip of pasture 11 hours after sunrise gained weight, and their calves gained about 1.28 kg per day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that the reason why all of those improvements that we have seen occur is because sweet forages do improve protein synthesis in the rumen. Therefore bacteria are working for you in this case,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Berthiaume fed alfalfa haylage to cows in late lactation in one of three dairy studies, and results showed a significant increase in dry matter intake and milk yield.

There was also a decrease in milk urea nitrogen, which suggested cows fed evening-cut material made better use of protein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We concluded from that study that an increase of 2.3 units of sugars in a â&#x20AC;Ś straight forage diet, fed to late lactation cows, we saw an increase in dry matter intake and an increase in milk production, and also this was associated with a reduction in milk urea nitrogen,â&#x20AC;? said Berthiaume. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three different lactation studies with lactating dairy cows, (there were) benefits with mid and late lactation cows (and) limited benefits to primiparous (first calf) cows in early lactation.â&#x20AC;? barb.glen@producer.com

Western College of Veterinary Medicine 50 Years of WCVM | 1965-2015 Celebrating 50 years of veterinary education, research and clinical expertise at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM).

Hundreds of people gathered outside the Western College of Veterinary Medicine for its grand opening on July 2, 1969. U of S Archives (A-4230).

By September 1965, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) had its first class of veterinary students, its first faculty members and its first dean â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but it was still waiting for its own permanent building at the University of Saskatchewan.

During the new collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction, veterinary students and faculty â&#x20AC;&#x153;made doâ&#x20AC;? by taking their classes and labs in various spaces across campus. Temporary spots included the new Interim Housing Unit, the J.S. Fulton Laboratory and the old Veterinary Hygiene building that was hastily re-converted into a barn and clinical facility.

In the meantime, a brand new building was slowly taking shape on the northeast side of the university campus. To come up with its design, the Regina-based architect firm of Izumi, Arnott and Sugiyama worked closely with the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding dean, Dr. D.L.T. (Larry) Smith, and a core group of veterinary faculty.

One faculty member in particular possessed a flair for design and construction. Dr. N. Ole Nielsen, an associate professor of veterinary pathology, became chair of the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building committee. He worked closely with architect Ross Johnstone and Jim Wedgwood of the U of S to design a multi-functional building that could accommodate small animal and large animal clinics, laboratories, animal handling and research.

The new college also contained some unique design features: an open-ceiling, two-storey library and herbarium as well as round tower parapets that concealed stairwells and an elevator.

After three years of construction, crews completed the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first phase in 1968 at a cost of $8.2 million (a second phase was completed in 1980). One year later, the WCVM celebrated its grand opening on July 2, 1969, in conjunction with the Canadian Veterinary Medical Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual convention. Among the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speakers: the Honourable John G. Diefenbaker who had begun his new role as university chancellor on the previous day.

At long last, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s veterinary college had a home.

Selling farm equipment is big business.

The two largest farm equipment dealership networks in Canada had combined revenue of close to $2 billion in 2014 and profits of almost $37.5 million.

Cervus Equipment, which focuses on John Deere and Peterbilt equipment, and Rocky Mountain Equipment, which concentrates on Case IH-New Holland, each presented their annual financial reports last week.

In both cases, the late spring, the down-turn in the agricultural economy and last year’s grain transportation problems hurt agricultural sales, while the down-turn in oil prices could hurt the industrial side of the business.

Rocky Mountain said last year’s sudden shift to a negative mood in farming hurt used equipment sales more than new equipment.

There is a long lead time when ordering new equipment, while used equipment sales can be quick, influenced by immediate financial issues.

Also, new equipment tends to be bought by larger operations, which can better handle fluctuations in the agricultural economy, the company said.

Used sales fell 15.4 percent, while new equipment sales were down only .3 percent.

The company said it worked hard to partly offset the reduced equipment sales by increasing parts and service revenue.

“Demand for product support increases as fleets are maintained rather than replaced,” Garrett Ganden, who took over as president of Rocky Mountain in February, said in a conference call with analysts.

“This relationship between equipment and product support served as a hedge, to a certain extent, against the risk associated with reduced inventory, reduced revenue from equipment sales, and it contributed to higher earnings.”

RETIREMENT PLANS

Start young to build RRSP and tax-free savings MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

T

he annual rush to deposit the full contribution limit into a Registered Retirement Savings Plan is over for the year, but perhaps there is a better way to make this investment.

One option is to get a head start on next year by starting regular payments now and watch funds grow compounded over a longer period in tax-sheltered ease.

A poll by ScotiaBank released in January 2014 shows a surprising decline in RRSP participation last year.

Only 31 percent of Canadians said they planned to contribute to a retirement saving plan for the 2013 tax year compared with 39 percent in the previous two years.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “It makes used equipment much more attractive. It might mean less new sales but more used sales, and that might be correction we need.”

The major international farm equipment manufacturers believe 2015 will be a challenging year.

For example, John Deere expects its global sales of agriculture and turf products will be down 23 percent.

However, Cervus and Rocky Mountain say the contraction in their businesses will be much less severe.

They say expectations are for a drier spring in Western Canada, which should allow an increase in seeded acreage.

Also, the cattle sector is booming, which will lead to increased sales of two-wheel drive tractors and haying equipment.

Both companies have expanded rapidly in recent years.

Last year, Cervus bought six farm dealerships in Australia, 13 Peterbilt dealerships in Ontario and six John Deere dealerships in Alberta.

Rocky Mountain recently bought NGF Geomatics, which offers aerial drone imaging and precision agriculture advice and analysis. It also bought Chabot Implements, a Manitoba Case IH dealer.

Both companies want to be prepared if new acquisition opportunities arise.

“I believe in 2015 it will be important to get some good cash generations because … I believe there will be a lot of opportunities that are going to happen late in 2015 and early in 2016 and we want to be ready for it,” Ganden said about Rocky Mountain’s outlook.

Meanwhile, Cervus announced in December it had increased its revolving credit with a syndicate of underwriters to $100 million from $60 million, partly to be prepared for new strategic investments. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

It is not clear why the numbers dropped. One reason might be that people decided the new Tax-Free Savings Account met their needs better.

The ScotiaBank poll also said withdrawals from plans were up four percent to 40 percent. People might be taking advantage of the federal home buyers’ plan to build or buy a first home partially financed through RRSPs. Covering expenses and paying down debt are also leading causes of tapping the retirement nest egg.

This could cause problems in retirement. People who really want their investments to grow must start as early as possible.

Essentially, a dollar invested today is worth more than a dollar invested tomorrow.

So, how early is early?

A new survey suggests that more than two-thirds of those polled believe they would have enough to retire if they start saving at 25.

Some advisers recommend starting sooner. Young people paid for odd jobs on the farm in the summer or off-far m work while in high school should file an income tax return to start building much needed RRSP contribution room earlier.

However, it can be difficult for a young person saddled with school costs, high student debt or a diffi-

cult job market to put money away.

Nevertheless contributing even a small amount such as $20 a month at the beginning can yield big dividends down the road.

Young people have the advantage of time. Larger and larger amounts of savings will be required to keep them on track for retirement if they delay their start time.

If they have a lot of contribution room but little cash to put away, what about borrowing the money for their RRSP contribution? This is a strategy that can work for some people but not others.

Borrowing may be a useful strategy if their contribution is going to earn a

refund and the cash reserves plus the refund are sufficient to pay off the entire loan within the year the loan is taken out.

It is never too early to seek advice on planning for retirement, but how can it be done if the individual can barely afford the investment?

Perhaps a parent, aunt, uncle or older sibling can help.

The next Christmas or birthday present could be a financial gift to fund retirement.

WHAT MATTERS MOST WILL NEVER CHANGE, BUT HOW YOU PROTECT IT WILL. We have a history of protecting what matters most to us, and creating new and innovative ways to enhance that level of protection.

Reason® seed-piece treatment for seed-borne late blight protection is proof of that.

You counted on Reason to protect against late blight and early blight through foliar applications, and now you can start protecting your potato crop with Reason at planting too. As a seed-piece treatment, Reason can be used alone when seed-borne late blight is a threat or mixed with Titan® or Titan Emesto™ for the highest level of disease and insect protection you can achieve.

GEAR UP WITH REASON SEED-PIECE TREATMENT – AN EVOLUTION IN PROTECTION.
