Truck drivers urgently needed

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The shortage of truck drivers in Western Canada has reached crisis proportions, say those in Alberta’s trucking industry.

In some cases, loads of goods are sitting at truck terminals ready for delivery but no qualified drivers are available to take them to customers.

And it is likely to get worse, say members of the Southern Alberta Truck Exposition Association.

“Two feet and a heartbeat, and the body’s fairly warm, you could be a truck driver,” quipped one trucker at a March 17 meeting of the group in Lethbridge.

His joke drew rueful grins from those gathered to discuss ways to attract people to a job that is at least 20,000 people short of the needed workforce.

A study that the Conference Board of Canada did in 2013 on behalf of the Canadian Trucking Alliance predicted Canada will have a truck driver shortfall of about 30,000 by 2020 if the industry fails to find new recruits in addition to replacements for retirees.

Have farm groups become federal cheerleaders?

Some farm groups craft communications to land federal favour rather than debate important issues BRANDON BUREAU

The communication team at the Alberta Wheat Commission has a fondness for affirmative verbs.

When employees craft public statements for the commission,

they like to “applaud,” “commend” and “congratulate” the federal government or agriculture minister Gerry Ritz for supporting Canadian farmers.

The commission gets a lot of mileage from those words because six out of the 15 news releases posted on its

website praise the good works of the federal government.

For example, in late February Ritz announced that Bill C-18, the Agricultural Growth Act, had received royal assent.

Shortly after, the commission issued its own release, commending

the federal government for getting the bill through Parliament.

The commission isn’t the only commodity or farm group that has good things to say about the federal government.

Monsanto on defensive after UN agency report World Health Organization describes glyphosate as a probable cancer risk, challenging long list of studies that say otherwise

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The skirmishes are over.

The war on glyphosate has officially begun.

The World Health Organization dropped a proverbial nuclear bomb March 20, releasing a report classifying glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Ariel Fenster, a McGill chemistry professor and founding member of the university’s Office for Science & Society, said the WHO report was startling because the organization said glyphosate is a probable cause of cancer rather than a possible cause.

The distinction is massive in terms of public perception.

“What concerns me is it came as a 2A (designation),” said Fenster, a well-known science communicator who comments on issues related to food, medicine and the environment.

“2A is probably carcinogenic and 2B

is possibly carcinogenic. Coffee is considered to be possibly carcinogenic.”

Fenster said the classification is curious because other scientific bodies have looked at the same data and found no link between cancer and glyphosate.

“No alarm was raised before.”

A working group of 17 experts at the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a report on the carcinogenicity of five pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the world.

After reviewing scientific papers on glyphosate and glyphosate formulations, the IARC experts concluded that glyphosate, commonly known as Roundup, may increase the risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in people exposed to the chemical in their occupation.

Some studies demonstrate that exposure to glyphosate and glyphosate formulations promoted tumours in laboratory mice.

Glyphosate “induced DNA and chromosomal damage in mammals, and in human and animal cells in vitro.”

Consequently, the IARC classified glyphosate as Group 2A: probably carcinogenic to humans.

“This category is used when there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals,” IARC said.

Monsanto issued a rebuttal of the designation, condemning the IARC decision as shoddy and biased.

“We don’t know how IARC could reach a conclusion that is such a dramatic departure from the conclusion reached by all regulatory agencies around the globe,” said Philip Miller, Monsanto’s vice-president of global regulatory affairs.

“We have issued an urgent request for appropriate personnel of the WHO to sit down with the global glyphosate task forces and other regulatory agencies to account for

the scientific studies used in their analysis and, equally as important, to account for those scientific studies that were disregarded.”

A chorus of global experts also criticized the IARC report, including Colin Berry, emeritus professor of pathology at Queen Mary University of London.

“What is missing in this new assessment is balance in the consideration of the studies,” he said.

“There are over 60 genotoxicity studies on glyphosate with none showing results that should cause alarm relating to any likely human exposure. For human epidemiological studies, there are seven cohort and 14 case control studies, none of which support carcinogenicity.”

Fenster said IARC evaluated the same studies as other literature reviews but reached a different conclusion.

In the past, a few scientists and activist groups have blamed glyphosate for birth defects, autism, celiac disease

and a list of other diseases.

But most toxicologists and medical professionals ignored those studies citing biased and unreliable science.

Fenster said it’s easy to dismiss the lunatic fringe, but it’s much harder to condemn the credibility of the WHO, a United Nations agency.

“I trust the WHO. With wireless, for example, this craziness about wi-fi causing all these problems, they said there is no issue there,” he said.

“Often when things like this happen, I refer to the WHO. They have no interest in making things appear worse than they are.”

The IARC also evaluated the safety of malathion, which is used to kill mosquitoes in cities such as Winnipeg. Based on Canadian studies linking malathion to an increase in prost at e c a n c e r a n d i nt e r nat i o na l research on rats exposed to the insecticide, IARC classified malathion as 2A: probably carcinogenic. robert.arnason@producer.com

ARCTIC APPLE

GM apple on its way to market following regulatory approval

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Canadian developer of a genetically modified non-browning apple is happy it has been approved for commercial release in Canada as of March 20.

Neal Carter of Okanagan Specialty Fruits said March 23 that limited quantities of apples with the brand name Arctic Apple will be available to consumers in late 2017.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada announced approval of the GM apple in a news release stating they are “as safe and nutritious as traditional apple varieties.”

“As much as we always knew and were very confident that we were going to get approval, it’s nice to see it

happen,” said Carter.

Groups that object to release of the GM apple denounced the government approval and pending availability of the Golden Delicious and Granny Smith Arctic apple varieties.

“The majority of consumers and farmers didn’t want the GM apple approved, and yet the federal government has decided to allow it, so now we need to find out what that means in the marketplace,” said Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN).

“We think growers are right to be very concerned about the consumer perception of apples and the impact that a GM apple will have on the whole market for apples.”

Arctic apples were developed to retain their colour up to 15 days after slicing. Carter said that opens up new

markets for fresh apple use and will reduce waste.

The apples will bear an Arctic Apple sticker but will not be otherwise identified as genetically modified.

That doesn’t sit well with CBAN. “A key issue for the GM apple is the lack of labelling. That’s what we know. We know consumers want a choice and they can’t find that clear choice,” Sharratt said.

“All of a sudden one of nature’s most perfect foods, that they rely on as wholesome, fresh, healthy … for whatever reason, a majority of consumers have an issue with a genetically modified apple, don’t want to eat it and can’t find out how to avoid it, or are struggling to find a way to avoid it in the grocery store.”

Sharratt said the GM apple will mislead consumers into thinking an

apple is fresh when it is not.

Carter said the apples are safe and could capitalize on consumer trends toward eating healthier food.

He said he plans to introduce the apples into the food service, fresh cut and whole apple markets when supply is available.

“Now what we need to do is get going on getting the Canadian trees built in Canada by the Canadian nurseries and get that stepped up,” he said.

The goal is to plant 25,000 trees in Canada next year, though that might be hindered by a general shortage of rootstock.

The Arctic apple was approved for commercial release in the United States in February.

Sharratt said Canadian consumers have been derisive of the non-

browning apple, and growers have been explaining the two GM varieties that will be available.

“All of a sudden we have grower groups essentially opening the door to a boycott of apple varieties,” she said. “They’re already having to undermine their own market position in order to protect the rest of the apple varieties.”

Carter said many growers interested in growing GM apples have contacted him, and demand already exceeds the supply of stock available from which to grow them.

Okanagan Specialty Fruits is based in Summerland, B.C., and recently became a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrexon Corp., a synthetic biology company based in Maryland. barb.glen@producer.com

ARE FARM GROUPS CHEERLEADERS? » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE When Ottawa announced royal assent for the Canada-South Korea free trade agreement in early December, the Grain Growers of Canada, the Canadian Canola Growers Association and the Barley Council of Canada sent out news releases applauding the government for the accomplishment.

A director with a Saskatchewan commodity group, who asked not to be named, said the cheerleading has become absurd because the organization almost prohibits criticism of the federal government and most board members are subservient to Ritz.

The director said submissive behaviour is commonplace at the board level as many farm groups in Western Canada compete to gain Ritz’s favour.

Allan Preston, former assistant deputy minister with Manitoba Agriculture, said communication strategies have changed significantly since he was in government only four years ago.

“I think the communication now is way too staged, way too orchestrated,” said Preston, a veterinarian who operates Preston Stock Farms near Hamiota, Man. “The communication folks draft the press release. They put the press release in the hands of the organizations they know are their… allies and they orchestrate that response….

That process wa s n ’ t n ea rly a s ingrained back in the days when I was in government.”

The news releases that the Alberta Wheat Commission posts on its website date back to November 2013 and include the period when western Canadian farmers suffered through one of the most distressing and controversial grain shipping seasons in history.

Only one wheat commission statement in the winter of 2013-2014 mentions the shipping crisis. It thanks Ritz and federal transport minister Lisa Raitt for taking regulatory action to improve rail service.

In contrast, Keystone Agricultural Producers, the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and the Alberta Federation of Agriculture issued a joint statement in November 2013 that said “poor rail service is hindering the bumper crop … from getting to market.”

Sinclair Harrison, Hudson Bay Route Association president and long-time farm leader from Moosomin, Sask., said leaders of producer-governed organizations have a responsibility to debate farm issues publicly.

“I was never one to shy away from criticizing,” he said.

“Regardless of what organization you belong to, if (members) don’t see their leadership representing them properly, they’re not doing their job.”

Weldon Newton, a former KAP president, said there’s a difference between criticism and going to war with the government.

“I don’t think we (farmers) need to pick fights with them publicly, that doesn’t do any good. But we’ve got to feel free to criticize them in the appropriate fashion (so) we can actually accomplish something.” robert.arnason@producer.com

EXPORT MARKETS

Is Canadian wheat in decline?

Some international buyers say Canada’s reputation as a high-quality provider of top protein wheat is in jeopardy because of changes to how grain is loaded and blended for export CANADA’S TOP WHEAT CUSTOMERS

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

An international marketer of Canadian wheat is ringing the alarm that Canada is jeopardizing its reputation as a source of high quality, consistent crop.

If this continues, markets could be lost.

“It is the first time in our history that our clients are asking us to look for other origins in replacement of Canada,” said Erwan Boubet, chief executive officer of Geneva, Switzerland-based grain company IFACO. “When you have been the main Canadian wheat sellers in West Africa for 30 years, it hurts when your clients say ‘OK, don’t bother me anymore with your crappy wheat. Sign me something else.’ ” IFACO and its Canadian subsidiary, Montreal-based exporter Agrohall, were so concerned by African clients upset by quality problems with Canadian wheat in the past two years that they arranged recently for senior Canadian International Grains Institute staff to travel to Cameroon to meet with West African millers to hear their concerns and bring back the news to Canada’s farmers and grain industry.

The concerns from West Africa are similar to those expressed by Singaporean buyer Prima last spring at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium. IFACO and Agrofall are noting the same mix of quality uncertainty and grading divergences that create unhappy customers.

Boubet and Agrohall chief trader Patrick Nolan said in an interview that bad weather and logistical challenges in the past two years have revealed that Canada has botched its transition to a post-CWB monopoly system.

They said the country hasn’t just removed a crucial guarantor of quality and consistency but also changed Canadian Grain Commission grading in a way that makes it inconsistent.

The old wheat board isn’t there to pull in the right grain from wherever it is to where it’s needed, and the grain moving now through the system isn’t necessarily as true to its billing as it was three years ago, they added.

“It’s Mother Nature, and it’s the system,” said Boubet.

“You can see that when Mother Nature is not helping, then the new system is not protecting the quality and the reputation of Canada as it used to be in the past.”

West Africa is a market that the Canadian grain industry hopes to develop. At the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association convention in January, a senior Cargill marketer focused on the region as a promising source for expanded Canadian crop sales.

However, Boubet and Nolan said clients in that region have been angered and frustrated for two years by Canadian grain that is not what the client ordered.

West Africa was among the top importers for Canadian wheat in 2013-2014. Here are the top 30 (wheat exports in tonnes): 1. United States 2,108,400 2. Japan 1,590,300 3. Indonesia 1,348,200 4.

TOP ISSUES Some international buyers listed their top complaints about Canadian wheat: • CWB’s monopoly has been removed, and with it oversight of grain quality and standards.

• Bad weather in 2014 saw wheat protein levels fall.

• Transportation logistics problems cause delays at port and slow deliveries to customers.

• Composite loading at export, rather than incremental mixing, causes inconsistent protein levels from shipment to shipment.

• Inland terminal inspection system has been changed so thirdparty inspectors check instead of Canadian Grain Commission, leading to inconsistent standards.

They believe the problem is occurring because grain companies have less access to western Canadian wheat than did the CWB and are showing less commitment to customer satisfaction.

The grain companies are also moving wheat to port with grading that is now less uniform

because the grain commission has privatized inward grading.

Boubet and Nolan also blame the move to composite loading at port rather than the incremental loading that was formerly used.

Composite loading means that rather than uniform quality throughout the ship’s load, which occurred with incremental loading, companies are now just loading a mix of qualities that arithmetically add up to a certain quality but often vary between a vessel’s holds.

“Now with a composite, you can deliver 12.5 (protein) against a 13.0 contract as long as you put some 13.5 in one of the other holds to offset it,” said Nolan.

Boubet said the grain companies don’t want to offer incremental l o a d i n g b e c a u s e i t i s m o re demanding and they don’t seem worried about customer concerns.

“Private suppliers, they don’t care. Essentially, they don’t care,” he said.

“It’s just, ‘read your contract and if you want more, you have to pay more,’ ” said Boubet.

That, in fact, is what Agrohall has turned to, just to guarantee a formerly secure minimum standard.

“We as a (port-based) seller buy from the country 13.2 (protein) and we sell to the client 13,” said Boubet.

During the CWB monopoly era, the grain arriving at port and delivered to customers was always at least the minimum required and often a bit better.

Boubet acknowledged that these problems would probably never have arisen if 2013-14 didn’t have epic logistics challenges and if the 2014-15 crop didn’t have widespread quality problems.

However, he said that was the key to the success of the old system. Customers were almost never unhappy, even in bad years.

“In my opinion, Canada has lost its reputation in this (disappearance of the CWB) monopoly and we are trying to work hard to keep our clients and keep their satisfaction on the Canadian wheat, but it is very hard for us these days to keep pushing on the Canadian wheat when we are more and more going in the typical U.S. type of (lower quality and consistency) system.” ed.white@producer.com

GRAIN EXPORTS

Grain sellers work to address quality concerns Companies work to ensure consistent shipments but no longer over deliver on protein grades

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canada’s grain promotion and grain trade organizations have been stamping out fires and talking with buyers in the chaotic first years since the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly died.

They’re hoping both actions and words can keep customers happy and avoid losing markets that prairie farmers built during the CWB era.

“We’re listening to them. We’re going around the world. We’re hearing what they have to say,” said Dave Burrows, director of client relations at the Canadian International Grains Institute.

“While there is no single desk, there are still so many organizations, valuable organizations, that underpin the whole industry that are there to ensure customer satisfaction and that the Canadian brand is not at all lagging.”

Burrows recently returned from Cameroon, where CIGI staff held talks with West African buyers organized by Swiss grain firm IFACO and its Canadian subsidiary, Agrohall.

IFACO and Agrohall are worried that Canadian grain quality and consistency have become undependable since the end of the CWB monopoly and since the Canadian Grain Commission changed grading practices.

IFACO’s Erwan Boubet said some customers have told him they don’t want Canadian wheat because of recent problems with consistency, but Burrows said he didn’t hear

The strength of the Canadian brand has been such that they’re willing to work with us as we overcome whatever issues we have.

DAVE BURROWS CANADIAN INT’L GRAINS INSTITUTE

anything that severe from West African customers.

“Nobody is saying, ‘I can make a better loaf with somebody else’s wheat,’ ” he said. “The strength of the Canadian brand has been such that they’re willing to work with us as we overcome whatever issues we have.”

Leaders of the grain commission, the Western Grain Elevator Association and Cereals Canada also acknowledge recent customer worries but are also confident in the Canadian industry’s ability to improve performance and keep customer loyalty.

“If these customers are dissatisfied, then they’re not going to come back, and nobody wants that to happen,” said Randy Dennis, chief grading officer at the grain commission.

“The companies are aware that we are monitoring each of these (ocean-going ship) loads, and if we see issues with the companies not abiding by our expectations, then we can put some other things in place, and they don’t want us to go down that path.”

Dennis was referring to composite grading of vessel loads, which has replaced the incremental grading that was most common until late 2012.

IFACO and Singaporean miller Prima Group have complained that composite loading has resulted in their companies or customers receiving sub-specification wheat from Canada.

Dennis said the grain commission expects Canadian grain companies to use composite loading to minimize the disruption caused by small variations in grain being loaded and not as a way to dump lower quality grain into a shipment that also contains higher value product.

“The composite is used on the basis as it always was intended to, not for wild fluctuations, but covering over those settled overages,” said Dennis.

Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the elevator association, s a i d c u s t o m e r w o r r i e s h av e prompted his members to focus more on ensuring fewer divergences in composite loading.

“Our terminals have become more acutely aware in past months of a need to ensure consistency in cargoes, and they have been exercising more due diligence in ensuring that the cargo not only averages at the quality specifications contracted but that it is more uniformly representative of the contracted specifications,” said Sobkowich.

“They are very much aware of that.”

One thing that won’t change is the switch from CWB’s focus on giving customers more than they paid for to the grain companies’ focus on just

meeting specifications.

It’s a change that customers might not have understood.

“We don’t want to be selling highgrade brands for discount prices,” said Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl.

“That’s not happening (now).

That’s not a bad thing for Canadian producers, is it?”

Burrows noted the same difference. “The grain companies are now adhering to the terms of the sales contract and not giving away that extra quality,” he said.

“If we give it away, that’s less value we can return to the Canadian grain industry and less value we can return to the Canadian farmer.”

However, all acknowledged that many customers might not have realized how significantly this could change the nature of the wheat they were accepting and how they might have to make tougher deals with suppliers to ensure they are just as happy with the grain they get as they were in the monopoly days.

“We do need to communicate to customers what their options are,” said Dahl.

Dennis said some millers might not understand that something has changed on the contracting side, so they need to talk to their buyers and make sure all their concerns are covered.

“Ensure that whoever’s doing your contracting, on behalf of your company, is aware of your particular parameters … so that there is no confusion,” said Dennis. ed.white@producer.com

Lane Jacobsen, president of the association and a driver with Jay-Dan Transport, said trucking suffers from a stigma that it is a job for the uneducated or unskilled. It can cost up to $5,000 to train for the job to get the necessary Class 1 licence, and that can discourage many from making the attempt.

“Part of that is due to it not being recognized as a trade,” said Jacobson.

“Our society is based on high education, high paying jobs. In the past, a lot of the people who are successful today, who have a high education, they paid for their education by being truck drivers.”

Recognition of truck driving as a trade could lead to more training opportunities via technical schools, with the related option of financial assistance through student loans.

It might also allow truck drivers who come to Canada through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to apply and qualify for citizenship based on their work, he added.

Trevor Currie, owner and dispatcher for Gateway Livestock in Taber, has used the program to find at least 12 truck drivers for his livestock transport business. Only four are left, and one may soon have to return to his home country because of recent changes to the program.

“It’s been a great program until this last two years. Then it’s been horrible. They keep changing the rules as fast as you can put in new applications,” said Currie.

“The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is the only way to get started into permanent residence, and how do you apply for permanent residence when the Temporary Foreign Worker Program doesn’t let you stay here long enough to qualify?”

Gateway runs 32 trucks and could use three more, said Currie. He had hopes that applications from people recently laid off in Alberta’s oil patch would fill three driver vacancies.

“They don’t, however, meet a lot of criteria,” he said.

“I can’t insure anybody that’s under 25. They have to be able to cross the (U.S.) border, so they can’t have criminal records. They can’t have DUIs (driving under the influence).

They have to pass a drug test to go into the U.S., and unfortunately that eliminates most of the applicants that I’m getting from the oil patch. It is surprising.”

He has found qualified drivers from the United Kingdom, Greece and Holland, but Currie said he can’t get the necessary approvals to hire them.

And even though transporting loads of cattle worth $200,000 each requires driving skill as well as knowledge about livestock, truck drivers are lumped in with chambermaids and burger flippers when it comes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, he added.

Insurance companies require drivers to have at least three years of experience, which is another limiting factor. barb.glen@producer.com

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Higher output may push down nitrogen New plants in North America coming online, may cause an oversupply

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Nitrogen fertilizer prices are heading lower and will remain depressed for years to come, says a fertilizer analyst.

“Demand for imports is falling while availability of exports is rising,” said Neil Fleishman, director of research with Green Markets, a fertil-

izer analytical publication.

“It’s that import-export imbalance that we see as a driver to push prices lower.”

Global urea production is expected to rise to 285 million tonnes by 2019 from 224 million tonnes last year, a 61 million tonne increase in supply.

Meanwhile, demand is expected to climb by only 31 million tonnes in that period, or about half as much.

However, developments in North America will have the biggest influence on prices.

It is projected to become self-sufficient in urea as 10 new nitrogen fertilizer plants start churning out product.

Production capacity is expected to reach 17.8 million tonnes in 2019, up from 10.1 million tonnes last year.

“We think enough projects are going to come on line in North America to meet domestic needs for urea and UAN,” said Fleishman.

In fact, North America is expected to become a net exporter of urea, shipping a small amount of product overseas in 2019.

It would be a seismic shift from last year when 6.8 million tonnes, or 44 percent of the region’s annual urea requirements, were imported.

North America would still import 2.7 million tonnes of ammonia, well below the 4.9 million tonnes imported last year.

The region is expected to become self-reliant at the same time that global capacity is increasing in places like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and India.

New plants will start contributing to North American supply by the end of this year.

“All of these projects have been in the works for a couple of years, but now we’re finally starting to get to the point where they’re actually going to come online,” said Fleishman.

“It’s nearing the tipping point, we believe.”

Fleishman expects oversupply to start weighing down nitrogen this year. Prices will remain depressed for at least the next five years.

It is good news for western Canadian farmers who use more nitrogen than any other fertilizer product.

Nitrogen fertilizer is the top variable expense for spring wheat crops in Saskatchewan’s dark brown soil zone and the second biggest cost for canola crops next to seed.

Wheat growers will spend an estimated $36.05 per acre applying nitrogen to their fields in the dark brown soil zone this year, while canola growers will pay an average of $37.66 per acre, according to Sask-

atchewan Agriculture’s latest crop planning guide.

The U.S. Gulf coast price for granular urea was about US$290 per short ton free on board last week. Fleishman believes prices could eventually tumble below today’s floor, which is the Chinese cost of production of $245 per ton f.o.b.

Prices in a textbook scenario would never fall below the cost of production for the lowest cost producer.

However, the textbook doesn’t apply in this case because of the plethora of new plants being built around the world. The owners of those multibillion-dollar facilities have no interest in curtailing production right out of the gate.

“You are getting to a point now where there is just so much supply that I don’t think China will be able to

shut off enough (production) to kind of stem that anymore,” said Fleishman.

New plants will compete with existing facilities to see which ones can operate near their capacity. Fleishman forecasts a global capacity utilization rate of 73.4 percent by 2019.

“I’m hesitant to actually use the term price war. I don’t like to go that far. I just like to use the term increased competition,” he said. “There is definitely some room for (price) downside based off our projections.”

Growers may want to hold off buying nitrogen fertilizer given the prospects for a falling market. However, retailers will likely be doing the same thing, so inventories could be low at the local crop input store, said Fleishman. sean.pratt@producer.com

CROP ESTIMATES

AGRI-TREND FORECASTS 2015-16 CANOLA ENDING STOCKS TO FALL TO ONE MILLION TONNES

CANOLA MARKET

Squeeze on supply gets China to buy Carryout is expected to shrink, supporting prices

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola price prospects look good with China back in the market and a tight carryout forecast for 2015-16, says a grain analyst.

However, basis levels will do most of the heavy lifting because a huge South American soybean crop and prospects for another big crop in the United States will cap futures prices. “Put the target in for $470 (per tonne) futures at some point and then wait for basis levels to go to $15 to $20 over later in the (new crop) year,� said Derek Squair, president of Agri-Trend Marketing. “We feel basis levels are going to get quite strong in the May-June-July time frame next year.�

His confidence stems from the prospect of a smaller Canadian supply and continued strong demand from export customers and domestic crush in 2015-16.

The first good sign of things to come is that China is again buying large volumes of canola after a hiatus caused by dismal crush margins in that country.

Squair said crush margins haven’t improved much in China, but buyers are worried prices could climb in Canada toward the end of the 201415 crop year. “The industry is starting to believe we’re getting pretty tight on canola and we’re going to have a tighter carryout,� he said. “And so the Chinese are just getting a little bit ahead of that and trying to buy canola now instead of waiting until June (or) July where it might be really tough to buy.�

Squair sees 1.75 million tonnes of carryout this year. That number is expected to shrink to one million tonnes in 2015-16 because of a smaller crop and continued strong domestic and export demand.

He expects production to fall to 14.5 million tonnes, down one million, because of reduced acreage and a return to normal yields.

That will result in smaller export and crush sales programs despite stronger demand for the product from the Chinese and expanded crush capacity in Canada. Squair sees 7.5 million tonnes of exports

and 7.7 million tonnes of crush.

The export program could easily be 8.3 million tonnes next year if the supply was there. The International Grains Council is forecasting smaller crops in Australia, Ukraine and the European Union.

China is also expected to have a smaller crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting a two percent decline in Chinese rapeseed production because of reduced plantings and dry conditions.

Errol Anderson, analyst with ProMarket Wire, isn’t nearly as optimistic about canola prices despite the recent price rally. “Canola is basically trading in a window that is probably $20 per tonne higher than we thought originally earlier in the winter, so this is good news,� he said.

However, he believes that window could quickly slam shut as an overabundance of soybeans, a glut of vegetable oil and a strengthening Canadian dollar weigh down prices. “I think the U.S. dollar is too high and we’re ripe for a pullback, which would suggest the Canadian dollar could rally a bit,� said Anderson.

He believes the loonie could easily return to trading at US83 cents, which would be enough to push canola into a lower trading window.

That is why he believes growers should pounce on $10.50 per bushel canola when available. “We’ve been suggesting to guys (to) take it because if the market turns nasty we’ll lose 50 cents real fast,� said Anderson. “I don’t see canola going to $11 or $11.50 at all unless we have a real drought.�

Squair said a lot will hinge on acreage and how the season unfolds.

Agriculture Canada might want to pull out an eraser for the 2014-15 numbers when it pencils the acreage numbers into its supply and disposition report for 2015-16.

Poor rail car performance for the last half of December and all of January and February suggests there will be the 1.1 million tonne shift out of the export sales program and into the domestic crush program, Squair said. sean.pratt@producer.com

Crops improve in Russia, Ukraine

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There has been a turnaround in the fortunes of Russia’s winter grain crops, but lingering problems continue, says a grain analyst. “Earlier in the season it looked like a major weather related story for Russia,� said Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research. “There still may be a story, but it’s not as big of a threat as it was.�

Grain production estimates are all over the map, ranging from a low of 70 million tonnes to the Russian government assertion that it will be a 100 million tonne crop, which would be close to last year’s record 104 million tonnes. “The truth is probably somewhere in the middle,� said Townsend.

He is forecasting 82 million tonnes of wheat, corn and barley production.

His wheat estimate is down 10 million tonnes from last year, while barley is down two million tonnes and corn production is expected to be flat.

That is in line with an estimate by SovEcon calling for 85 to 92 million tonnes of total Russian grain production this year.

SovEcon is forecasting 47 to 53 million tonnes of wheat, down from 59 million tonnes last year. It expects 13 to 17 million tonnes of wheat exports in 2015-16, which is considerably below the 21 million tonnes expected to be shipped out this year.

NEIL TOWNSEND CWB MARKET RESEARCH

Townsend said winterkill is at the high end of the normal range because of a dry fall and an early cold snap, but crop conditions have improved.

Traders are not panicking about the state of the winter wheat crop based on some of the market signals coming out of Russia. “They’re still selling wheat this year, which a lot of people didn’t expect them to do,� he said.

Exporters have also been selling plenty of new crop wheat at low prices. “They wouldn’t be selling quite as aggressively if they didn’t think they had some sort of crop coming,� said Townsend.

He believes Ukraine’s grain crop is faring better than Russia’s. CWB is forecasting a two million tonne decline in wheat and no change in corn compared to last year. SovEcon is more pessimistic, forecasting a 10 million tonne reduction in total Ukrainian grain production, largely because of a faltering corn crop.

SovEcon is predicting 10 to 13 million tonnes of corn exports from the Black Sea region, way down from 21

million tonnes in 2014-15.

Townsend isn’t buying the idea that growers in Russia and Ukraine will be cutting back on spring plantings because of faltering currencies and a lack of financing.

There are reports that it will cost Russian farmers up to 60 percent more to seed a wheat crop because their seed, pesticides and other inputs are largely imported.

However, Townsend said farmers in Russia and Ukraine are benefiting from record grain prices because of the currency issue. “They’ve got to plant something. I’d be surprised if any acres are missed in Russia or Ukraine,� he said.

An argument can be made that growers will plant more barley than corn because corn seed has to be imported. However, the counterargument is that farmers want to grow an exportable commodity such as corn to take advantage of the currency issue.

Townsend said soil moisture profiles are excellent for planting spring crops. Forty percent of Russia’s wheat is spring wheat, while a small portion of Ukraine’s wheat is planted in spring.

Almost all of Kazakhstan’s wheat is spring planted, but the country has difficulty exporting the crop because of logistical problems. As a result, it mills the wheat and exports the flour. sean.pratt@producer.com

POTATO EXPORTS

Potato processors lean on Canada to fill export orders Labour issues at the Port of Seattle hinder exports for McCain and Simplot

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A weak loonie and shipping disruptions at the Port of Seattle could increase demand for Canadian potatoes in 2015, says a spokesperson for the United Potato Growers of Canada.

Potato acres have fallen by 25,000, or 6.7 percent, during the last three years as processing companies such as McCain’s and Simplot shifted production to lower cost regions such as the Pacific Northwest.

Potato growers in Washington state often average more than 600 hundredweight per acre, which is double the average yield in Manitoba.

Kevin MacIsaac, United Potato Growers of Canada general manager, said processors may rethink the production shift to the Pacific Northwest after a work slowdown at the Port of Seattle obstructed exports this winter.

Unable to get french fries to customers in Asia, the companies increased production in Canadian processing plants, MacIsaac said.

“Plants in Canada have run hard this winter because of the slowdown in Seattle,” he said. “They (may) have realized this year that they need to have an area other than the Pacific Northwest or the Columbia Basin

Contracted Canadian potato production could rise this year as processors eye a weak loonie. | FILE PHOTO where they can process potatoes.”

MacIsaac said the processing companies had “all kinds of product” in Washington state but couldn’t ship it to customers. As a result, they lost business to European competitors.

“There were all kinds of container ships waiting out in the water (in Seattle),” he said.

“In the Pacific Northwest … a big

portion of their crop is exported.

Something like 90 percent. They need to get those fries exported to Japan.”

Manitoba has three potato processing plants: Simplot in Portage la Prairie and McCain’s in Carberry and Portage.

Gary Sawatzky, Keystone Potato Producers manager, said it’s uncertain if the export disarray in Seattle

will encourage more potato processing in Manitoba.

“Whether that will shift out here or not … it’s too early (to tell).”

MacIsaac said the 80 cent dollar could persuade McCain’s and others to contract more acres in Canada.

“Definitely the big story this year will be the dollar…. That’s something that wasn’t (here) a year ago.”

Sawatzky said the fragile loonie should be positive for Canadian potato production, but Manitoba potato producers are in negotiations with processors and it’s imprudent to comment on those discussions.

“It’s premature to say a whole lot at this point.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Weak economics, wintery weather slow Feb. U.S. cattle to feedlots CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The latest read of U.S. feedlot numbers supports continued strong cattle prices.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture report showed the number of cattle placed in American feedlots in February was 1.523 million head, down eight percent from 1.658 million last year.

Analysts, on average, had expected a 6.7 percent reduction.

That put the March 1 feedlot cattle supply at 10.658 million head, down one percent from 10.716 million a year ago. Analysts, on average, had forecast a decline of .5 percent.

The report, coupled with stronger than expected U.S. cash cattle prices, lifted the Chicago futures market

RON PLAIN LIVESTOCK ECONOMIST

March 23.

“All the numbers came on the bullish side of the forecast, but not by much,” said University of Missouri livestock economist Ron Plain.

The USDA said 1.516 million head were sold to packers, which is down two percent from a year ago.

Analysts projected a drop of three percent.

There were the same number of days to market cattle in February as a year ago.

The category for cattle weighing more than 800 pounds was the only weight group in which placements showed an increase, said Plain. That suggests fewer cattle will arrive at feedyards later as heavier animals move through feedlots more quickly, he said.

The report showed last month’s placements for Texas at 70 percent of a year ago, partly because of weather issues and extremely negative feedlot margins, said Livestock Marketing Information Center economist Jessica Sampson.

Last month marked the first time that Nebraska surpassed Texas as the top state for the number of cattle on feed, she said.

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE SET RECORD The weekly Canfax weighted average steer price was $196.78 per hundredweight, while heifers averaged $194.01, both new record highs.

Western Canadian fed cattle slaughter for the weeks ending Feb. 28 and March 7 were about 32,000 head, but slaughter was down the following week.

Some cash cattle were reallocated last week to meet contract obligations and others were committed on a formula price arrangement, but negotiated sale volumes were adequate to establish a weighted average steer and heifer price.

U.S. buyers were active in the Canadian market, and bids strengthened.

These sales worked back to the mid to upper C$190s, depending on freight and dressing percent. Cattle sold to the United States would be lifted within two weeks, while local buyers are scheduling cattle for roughly three week delivery.

It was the first time this year that Canadian fed exports to the U.S. exceeded 6,000 head.

Western Canadian fed slaughter will struggle to exceed 30,000 head over the next two weeks.

Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis closed the week at -$1.49.

Basis levels usually improve into April.

COWS AT RECORDS D1, D2 cows ranged $138-$152 per cwt. to average $145.33, while D3s ranged $120-$138 to average $128.10 Grain fed cows fetched premium prices.

Rail grade cows were $277-$282 Slaughter bulls set new highs with a weighted average of $157.22.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to March 14 fell to 5,273 head. Export trucks are being reallocated to accommodate increased feeder and fed cattle shipments, but non-fed exports will likely increase in coming weeks.

Seasonal demand for hamburger should maintain strong non-fed prices.

stretched the Alberta calf-feeder spread to a record level.

Steer calf prices rallied $3-$5.50, and heifer calves 500-700 pounds surged $4.50.

Feeders heavier than 700 lb. generally rose $1.50-$2.50.

A few special feeder sales increased the week’s sale volume to the largest this year.

Alberta auction volume rose six percent to 40,299 head, which was one percent larger than last year.

That was likely the seasonal peak for volume.

Weekly feeder exports to the U.S. to March 7 rose eight percent to 12,277 head. Feeder exports this year are up 11 percent to 89,764 head.

Many of the feeders offered during the first quarter of 2015 are going to auction for a second time. Last fall, buyers put them in a backgrounding program.

There will continue to be strong competition for the small number of feeders.

U.S. BEEF MIXED There was little trade in the U.S. but dressed sales in Iowa were steady to $3 stronger, while trade in the American South was $3 higher on a live basis.

American packers are cutting hours as they try to mend negative processing margins. The weekly cattle slaughter was 518,000 head, down 1.2 percent from the previous week and 10.6 percent lower than the same time last year.

Choice cutout last week rose 63 cents to US246.61 per cwt., while Select was down $1 at $244.79.

Canadian cut-out values for the week ending March 7 rose C$3-$4 from the previous week with AAA at $305.68 and AA at $303.66.

AAA prices are now 28 percent higher than a year ago, and AA is 29 percent higher.

All eyes on USDA planting report MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he U.S. Department of Agriculture will release its prospective plantings report March 31, which is a survey of more than 80,000 American farmers.

We’ll have coverage of the report online and through Twitter.

The crop market has largely been marking time for the past few weeks waiting for this report.

The consensus going into the report is that U.S. corn acreage will be down a little from last year and soybean acres will jump substantially to a new record high.

Many analysts, based on surveys of their client farmers, have pegged corn at 88 to 88.5 million acres, down about two million from last year and down about nine million from the record area of 97.3 million set in 2012.

Soybean acres look set for a record at 86 to 87.5 million, up 2.5 million to 3.75 million from last year.

Analysts think farmers will favour soybeans because of lower production costs and a better likelihood of

Analysts expect the USDA plantings survey will show record soybean acreage as farmers look to control costs. | FILE PHOTO profitability at currently forecasted prices.

The market appears comfortable with the acreage assumption. There is no rally designed to “buy acres.”

Prices for the two big crops have been flat for more than month with variation only from currency fluctuations.

There is always a chance for a surprise in the USDA report. Maybe farmers won’t want to stretch their soybean rotations to that extent, even with the lower fertilizer costs.

However, if the USDA sur vey proves the current market assumptions are sound, then prices will likely continue steady at their unimpressive levels, weighed down by

the record large South American crops. Only a weather scare will shake them.

However, weather worries are creeping into the wheat market.

Russia’s winter grain crop has dry weather problems, as does the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop.

These concerns caused Kansas hard red winter wheat futures to bounce off the multi-year low set in early March.

But given large year end global wheat stocks, there is a limit to how far the wheat rally can go. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$45 per hundredweight March 20, down from $46 March 13.

U.S. hogs averaged $56.90 on a carcass basis March 20, down from $59.60 March 13. The U.S. pork cutout rose to $68.03 per cwt. March 20, up from $67.48 March 13.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to March 21 was 2.237 million, up from 2.227 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.037 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

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

At the March 11 Kramer Auction sale, 380 bison sold. Bull calves born in 2014 weighing more than 550 pounds averaged $3.80 per pound live. Quality bull calves 350–550 lb. sold 20–50 cents higher. Heifer calves heavier than 500 lb. were $3.47 with lighter classes selling at comparable prices. The March 13 sale at Vold, Jones & Vold in Ponoka, Alta., also had strong prices.

LAMBS STEADY TO HIGHER Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,257 sheep and lambs and 80 goats traded March 16. Lightweight new crop lambs sold at a premium.

Heavy lambs and sheep sold steady to higher. Good light goats also traded in premium ranges with all others steady.

LABOUR SHORTAGE

CRAIG’S VIEW

Industry, gov’t support needed to keep truckers trucking goods

W

hen store shelves become sparsely stocked and farm products are stalled at point of origin, it will be too late to sound an alarm.

So it’s time now to look carefully at the shortage of truck drivers across Canada — indeed, across North America — and figure out solutions.

Trucking firms across the West already report difficulty finding enough drivers to ship goods. They anticipate the situation will grow worse because few people are joining the industry.

A 2013 study that the Conference Board of Canada did for the Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates a national shortage of 25,000 to 33,000 for-hire truck drivers by 2020.

“With $17 billion in GDP directly tied to the for-hire trucking industry and the indirect impact being far greater, there’s little question a driver shortage of this size is a threat to the health and competitiveness of the Canadian economy, and this issue is something we as a nation should start thinking about,” said the board’s report.

Statistics are no better in the United States, where a 2014 report indicated that 35,000 more truck drivers beyond the current number are needed to carry freight.

Every agricultural good produced on prairie farms moves by truck at some point, so a shortage of drivers has dire consequences. Many transport companies say the problem has already reached a crisis point.

Changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program, which as the name implies is but a temporary solution, have exacerbated the problem. Firms that have spent time and money recruiting skilled drivers from other countries are now losing those people because of program changes.

However, beyond that, trucking suffers from an unjustified reputation for attracting the uneducated or the unskilled; those who aren’t capable of doing other jobs. There’s also an

impression that driving truck doesn’t pay well.

That is a stigma left over from yesteryear.

Today’s truck drivers earn $65,000 to $100,000 a year for jockeying thousands of pounds of freight down highways, through industrial parks and among oblivious commuters. Then they back those long and heavy trailers of freight into loading bays, often with only inches of clearance to spare.

Unskilled and uneducated? Think about it.

There are solutions, and some of them can be reasonably quickly achieved, given the proper impetus.

They can start with recognition of truck driving as a trade, with training and associated financial assistance offered at technical schools. It can cost up to $5,000 for training to obtain the necessary Class 1 licence, so many prospective drivers could benefit from funding assistance that would otherwise be a barrier.

Government and industry funding should also be applied to mentorship programs so newly trained drivers can receive the needed experience that emphasizes safety and qualifies employers for insurance coverage.

The industry itself must promote truck driving as a viable, respectable trade and make greater efforts to improve its image. New graduates working to earn a nest egg or pay a student loan are potential targets, as are women and workers seeking second careers.

Most of these recruits won’t ever traverse an ice road or, if properly trained, encounter “hell” along the television-fabled Highway Thru Hell in British Columbia’s Coquihalla Pass. The reality of the job is much simpler.

Agricultural producers arguably have more at risk from a trucker shortage than any other sector. They need to support all solutions that will keep goods moving safely from farm to city to tidewater and to consumer.

LABOURER SHORTAGES

Economy will suffer if low-skilled foreign workers not allowed CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

he federal government is not backing down from its April 1 deadline that would see a mass exodus of thousands of low-skilled temporary foreign workers.

The move comes despite urgent pleas from Canadian employers who haven’t been able to find new staff.

A change made to the federal Temporary Foreign Worker Program in 2011 limited the amount of time lowskilled workers would be allowed to stay in Canada to four years. Once that term limit expired, those workers would have to return to their home countries for a minimum of four years before being allowed back

into Canada to work.

At the time, the government said the changes were designed to give priority to unemployed Canadians while maintaining the temporary nature of the controversial labour program. The federal Conservatives and several government departments continue to maintain this position.

“The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is intended to be a program of last and limited resort when employers are facing short-term skills and labour shortages, and only when qualified Canadians are not available,” a spokesperson from Employment and Social Development Canada said in an email, adding the agriculture industry had a m p l e t i m e t o p re p a re f o r t h e approaching deadline.

“Workers and employers have known that the four-year cumulative duration limit was coming for the past four years. It was put in place in 2011 to encourage workers and their employers to use appropriate pathways to permanent residence rather

than using work permits to remain in Canada indefinitely,” the email reads.

However, transitioning low-skilled temporary foreign workers into permanent residents is easier said than done.

Canada’s current immigration and bridging programs heavily favour high-skilled workers. Multiple programs, such as the federal Express Entry, Canada Federal Skilled Trades Program and the Skilled Worker Program and most provincial nominee programs , bridge only skilled temporary foreign workers into permanent residents.

There is no federal program to bridge low-skilled workers, those who work as general labourers and harvesters, and who fall under the National Occupation Classification codes C and D. Skilled workers fall under codes O, A and B. When asked specifically about the available avenues for low-skilled workers in codes C and D who are looking to become permanent residents, a spokesperson for Citizen-

ship and Immigration Canada replied with a list of federal programs the workers in question clearly do not qualify for.

When pressed on the issue, the department then said provincial nominee programs were available to low-skilled workers if they do not qualify for federal programs.

Most provincial nominee programs, including Ontario’s, do not accept applications from low-skilled workers, a point Citizenship and Immigration failed to recognize.

Only Alberta’s provincial nominee program clearly outlines that lowskilled workers can apply, although immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said British Columbia and the Maritimes have, in the past, accepted applications from low-skilled workers.

The federal government has granted an exemption for 1,000 low-skilled workers in Alberta who are currently enrolled in the province’s provincial nominee program, which has been overwhelmed with applications.

Alberta has not said which of the

thousands of workers seeking permanent residency will be granted an extension.

A similar exemption is reportedly in the works for Saskatchewan, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told delegates at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture meeting in Ottawa at the end of February. However, it remains unclear whether that agreement has been finalized.

Canada’s agriculture industry has said the pending exodus will be devastating if the April 1 deadline is not repealed. Mushrooms Canada says the hit to the mushroom industry is an estimated $300 million. Canada’s mushroom industry is valued at $900 million.

The country’s red meat industry has said there are currently more than 1,000 open positions in meat packing and processing plants, of which more than 530 are located in Alberta. The industry says that shortage will only be compounded if the April 1 deadline is enforced.

& OPEN FORUM INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING MEDIA

research China not welcome as irrigation investor Story unearths

BY DAN PATTERSON

hole in history

T

he Western Producer editorial of Jan. 15 advocating the infusion of foreign and pension fund investment in Saskatchewan’s irrigation infrastructure requires some re-thinking.

Undoubtedly, Saskatchewan’s potential for expanded irrigation is an opportunity that must be pursued. That logic is self-evident. How it can be achieved is the issue.

First, let’s set aside any involvement by the People’s Republic of China or Saudi Arabia.

Indeed, China is investing heavily in Africa and other under-developed nations, but its agenda is self serving.

Its strategy is to capture and exploit all of the agricultural resources it can to establish food security for China.

Why would we want China to pursue that same agenda here in Canada?

Its human rights record is abysmal.

Its commercial practices are unprincipled: cyber espionage, patent theft and currency manipulation. Its wealth has been created out of worker exploitation and environmental destruction.

China is considered the most corrupt of wealthy nations. The National Bank of China published a report in 2009 that revealed that 2.5 percent of its gross domestic product was being stolen by bureaucrats and moved out of the country for investment. It is well known that much of the Saskatchewan farmland purchases by permanent residents from China are funded by money stolen from the Chinese people.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR

C

The author questions the proposal to encourage pension fund investment in Saskatchewan’s irrigation infrastructure as a way to expand the sector. | FILE PHOTO And Saudi Arabia?

The royals controlling that country behead more people than ISIS. Women aren’t allowed to drive. The Saudi royal family has financed Al Qaeda terrorism around the world.

Petroleum market experts are convinced the oil price crash has been orchestrated by the Saudis to sabotage Canada’s oilsands production.

They want North America to be dependent on Mideast oil and are apparently prepared to keep crude oil prices low enough, for long enough, to break our high cost producers.

The Western Producer’s editorial board pronounces that Canada cannot afford to fund its own infrastruc-

ture requirements. Why? We are one of the world’s wealthiest nations.

What we are lacking is the vision and the determination — not the capacity.

The current governments in Ottawa and Regina are disinclined to expand government debt. However, public investment in critical infrastructure should not be equated to public debt created by deficit budgeting. As a capital investment, it can be paid for over time.

With the Bank of Canada interest rate now set at .75 percent, the federal government has the capacity and opportunity to borrow over the long term to put in place the infrastructure critical to our ascendancy

as a world food power.

Yes, pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are an additional possible source of support. Perhaps Norway’s trillion dollar heritage fund achieved through shrewd management of its natural resources could participate.

However, the bottom line is that Saskatchewan’s irrigation potential should be reserved for our farmers and communities and not given away to foreign interests.

BRANCHING OUT

Diversification requires labour, capital, marketing HURSH ON AG

attle production has never been more profitable, and yet the latest statistics show Canada’s beef breeding herd continues to decline.

Other profitable opportunities within agriculture are also being bypassed.

Money is usually a big motivator, but other factors are also at play, including labour availability, lifestyle choices, lack of expertise and lack of investment capital.

Advocates of organic production point to good prices and a bright future, but production from Western Canada is failing to keep up with demand.

A burgeoning ethnic population in Canada has created new domestic demand for lamb and goat meat.

Lamb has been an interesting opportunity for years, but breeding stock numbers have remained relatively stagnant.

Bison production has also shown good profitability for an extended period of time, but it has struggled to attract new entrants.

Many of the berry crops we can grow in Western Canada, including saskatoon berries, sour cherries, sea buckthorn and haskap, have great nutritional characteristics and would appear to have a bright future.

Why aren’t growers rushing to these opportunities?

Of course, there’s never any guarantee on long-term profitability in any business, but even if profitability could be assured, there still wouldn’t be a stampede.

Just look at dairy production, which enjoys stable returns and good profitability for efficient producers. It’s prohibitively expensive to get into dairy farming because of quota and facility costs, but many have voluntarily left the industry. The number of dairy farms has declined dramatically over the past 20 years.

Lifestyle is one of the reasons many

farms have switched from dairy to something else. For existing operations, robotic milkers will continue to be adopted because they reduce labour needs.

We would eventually expect beef cow numbers to begin rising. After years of decline, minor herd expansion is finally occurring in the United States. When expansion finally starts in Canada, it will no doubt come from existing players increasing herd sizes rather than brand new entrants.

Cattle may be profitable, but they’re a lot of work. There are aspects that just can’t be mechanized, and there’s more physical labour involved than with modern grain production.

Labour is also a deterrent in sheep and goat production, and it’s a big barrier for successful berry and vegetable production.

Branching into a new sector can be a steep learning curve.

Switching to organic requires new production and marketing skills as well as increased patience for paperwork. For those who haven’t been involved in cattle production recently, production techniques have changed dramatically.

Berries, lambs and goats require marketing acumen as well as production knowledge.

Relatively few non-farmers are going to jump into the industry because investment costs are high.

Existing producers will tend to stick with what they know rather than chance something new.

Producers actively sought other options during the really tough times in the grain sector.

Bison were a growth industry, and many producers jumped into elk production, only to watch the loss of markets for elk antler velvet. Producers were desperate to find other ways to make a living in agriculture and they explored avenues that ranged from ostriches to ginseng.

The grain sector has enjoyed amazing returns in recent years. Even though returns have tightened, profitability hasn’t been squeezed enough to rekindle the desire to jump into some other sector of the industry. It would take a protracted grain sector downturn for that to change.

all it the mystery of the missing issue.

It all started one recent Tuesday morning when I sat down with old copies of The Western Producer to start researching my weekly From the Archives column.

The old copies are contained in what we call bound volumes, which organize many issues of The Producer between big book covers. These books, dating back to 1923, fill up most of a room at Western Producer World Headquarters in Saskatoon.

My research that morning began with news items from 75 years ago, and because I was writing the column for the March 19 issue, it meant finding the March 21, 1940, paper.

I dug out the fragile bound volume containing newspapers from the first few months of 1940 and began looking for March 21. Only, it wasn’t there. My fingers flipped from page 32 of the March 14 issue to the front page of the March 28 issue.

What the heck?

My first thought was that possibly the worst nightmare had come true for those journalists from 75 years ago: they hadn’t been able to get out a paper. What could have caused that: a broken press, German saboteurs, a slow news week?

The only way to get to the bottom of this mystery was to dust off the microfilm machine.

Does anyone remember that old technology, which seemed so cutting edge in the 1970s? A photograph was taken of individual newspaper pages, and a ribbon of film was produced comprising a multitude of these individual images. Then, by running this film through a microfilm machine, the photographs of these newspaper pages would show up on the machine’s screen.

It wasn’t that simple for me, however, because no one really services microfilm machines anymore, and the years haven’t been kind to our old machine. But after a few minutes spent with a roll of packing tape (don’t ask), we were in business and slowly creeping our way toward what would hopefully be March 21, 1940.

There was page 31 of the March 14 issue, then page 32 and finally, the front page for March 21, 1940.

So, in the end, it wasn’t enemy spies or faulty equipment. Instead, it appears someone back in 1941 simply forgot to include the March 21 issue while making the bound volumes for the previous year. In other words, it was just plain, old-fashioned human error.

Hey, it happens. Mystery solved. bruce.dyck@producer.com

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

I was offended by Paul Miller’s op-ed (WP March 12) “Railways got bad rap in transport woes” (which asserts) that last year’s transportation backlog was caused by cold weather. Miller further contends Canada’s railways are investing $1 billion a year to offset some of winter’s negative effects.

CP will have a lot of catching up to do if it plans to make up for the approximately 4,800 jobs that were eliminated under CEO Hunter Harrison over the past two years. CP has also shed more than 400 locomotives and 11,000 cars.

It’s difficult to see any evidence that CN and CP are responding to the growing needs of their shipping customers.

Meanwhile, both ends of the value chain have responded to the increased production and demand for Canadian grain. Farmers are investing in more on-farm storage than ever before.

Grain companies are undertaking multimillion-dollar expansion projects at country elevators and port terminal facilities. Western Canadian ports are also responding to increased demand: Port Metro Vancouver has invested billions to increase efficiency and capacity.

Canada’s railways could take a closer look south of the border at how BNSF is responding to winter challenges and

working to meet their customers’ needs. Last year alone BNSF spent $5.5 billion across the U.S. to increase capacity and create efficiency. It increased the size of its fleet by investing more than $1.6 billion in locomotives and freight cars and invested in new sidings, expanded existing sidings and established double tracking in areas with increased traffic.

And instead of laying off employees over the winter, BNSF keeps staff on call to mitigate weather-related emergencies and keep the trains running. This “over resourcing” strategy ensures BNSF is able to successfully meet growing customer needs. In Canada, we would settle for “adequate resourcing.”

This year’s winter in Western Cana-

da pales in comparison to the frigid temperatures of 2014, yet both CN and CP are falling behind in their grain shipments. According to the weekly performance reports issued by the Ag Transport Coalition, as of Grain Week 28, the number of unsupplied cars has reached 22,884, a shortfall equivalent to 11 percent of shipper demand.

Miller stated “key opportunities for reducing winter backlogs also lie within the supply chain itself.” Currently, country elevator stocks in store are at sitting at 90 percent of working capacity in Alberta, west coast stocks are now below 80 perCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

here are a number of subjects that we write about at The Western Producer that really seem to get our readers fired up to comment online.

Two of them are genetic modification and anything to do with glyphosate and its manufacturer, Monsanto.

Major stories in the news last week about both subjects yielded the expected result.

First came word that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a subgroup of the World Health Organization, released a report categorizing glyphosate as a substance “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

As WP reporter Robert Arnason put it in a story on the subject posted March 23, “the skirmishes are over.

The war on glyphosate has officially begun.”

A reader identifying himself as Richard writes: “What did we honestly think they were putting in these products ... vitamins? Now that we are drenching crops with dessicants at harvest, we are mainlining the glyphosate right into the germplasm of THE FOOD WE EAT… and this is called progress… Are we living on the planet of the apes????”

A reader named Neil took a more measured approach: “You can see why the consumer questions what we are doing on the farm. The science behind these two opposing claims is likely very complicated for most of us to understand.

I would like explained why subsequent reviews on the other four products has one discontinued, one being phased out due to health and environmental concerns and one subject to new risk reduction measures. I would say that this puts doubt in our consumers’ mind on our regulatory system.”

BACK TO THE FUTURE To the Editor: I am a retired farmer who has seen many changes in farming over the years. The country schools are all gone, small towns and villages mostly gone. The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation

Administration is gone, community pastures gone, Saskatchewan Wheat Pool gone, Canadian Wheat Board gone, thousands of farmers gone, farmers union almost gone.

So what is filling in the vacancies?

Community culture is fading fast.

Farms are getting larger and larger.

Big corporations are financing these farm operations.

These changes, no doubt, are called progress. The people who govern our country are responsible for what is transpiring in the farming industry.

Large corporations are taking over the growing and selling of grain.

One glaring example is the mess we’re in regarding spring wheat.

Since the federal government stole the CWB, farmers have been at the mercy of large grain companies.

Farmers are getting much less for their grain than they could have received through the CWB.

History has a way of repeating itself.

The same situation existed in 1924 when farmers were fed up with getting ripped off by the grain companies. Farmers formed the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. Following that, farmers demanded the formation of the CWB. Farmers gained control over grading, delivering and marketing of their wheat.

The sad thing is, we elected this government. We, as farmers, are ultimately responsible, federally and provincially. Prime minister Stephen Harper, Conservative MP David Anderson, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and premier Brad Wall — they speak of freedom in marketing. My view is we are back where we were in 1924. If we put these characters back in power again, God help us.

SMALLER IS BETTER To the Editor: Re: The editorial “Rewards of land investment must be balanced with risks” and the Capital Letters column “Land prices top of mind for next generation” (March 5).

Many people believe the evolution towards huge farming corporations with huge capital costs, and huge operating loans is inevitable. If so, the extinction of the small communities that are intrinsic to Saskatchewan’s identity is also inevitable.

There are many things we do better than the developing world, but on this subject they could teach us a thing or two.

I have travelled in developed and undeveloped countries around the world. The big expensive corporate farm model is by no means the status

quo, yet seems to be all we can imagine in North America. Around the world small farms produce more food with less land, make a living, enjoy the support of their government, and are part of vibrant communities.

There are a couple of things we can do to alter the course we are on.

There are alternative models of farming and young people interested in farming should try models that interest them and don’t require 5,000 acres of land and a half million dollars’ worth of equipment. Structure — in the form of policy, programs and legislation — needs to support the little guys, or at least not stack the deck against them. If there are no little farms, then there are no little communities and none of the social capital that goes with them.

As a farmer, I certainly try not to splash any on my skin or any easily entered body part (mouth, eyes, nose, ears, etc.) Like any potentially toxic substance, proper care handling and application along with well researched safe rates are the mainstays of prevention for negative consequences.”

Neil’s second comment prompted a reader calling himself Tom K to write: “Common sense is usually a product of the farm. Thanks for your very sensible comment, I couldn’t agree more.”

Laurette Reimer went to our Facebook page to leave her comment: “This classification is more fear mongering. I hope people read the entire article carefully.”

WATER MANAGEMENT

Funding woes keep projects under water, says official Water infrastructure is suffering from insufficient government dollars, says Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan’s commitment to managing water in a more co-ordinated fashion should include a renewed funding commitment to local agencies involved in water management.

Grant Wolowski, president of the Saskatchewan Conservation and Development Association, said provincial funding for local water authorities has been eroding for several decades.

Current funding is too low to ensure proper maintenance of existing water control infrastructure in the

province, he said.

In addition, new organizations that are trying to get involved at the local or regional level are running on tight budgets and unable to do the work they consider essential.

“Right now, our main issue is the development of new (infrastructure projects) that we need and the lack of any government funding for them,” Wolowski said.

“Even the funding for cost sharing of maintenance (on existing projects) is less than 50 percent. Without adequate government help, either the projects aren’t maintained properly or local taxes will have to go up a lot.”

The association represents watershed authorities and regional water management boards that manage water in a co-ordinated fashion.

Infrastructure under their authority includes drainage ditches and control gates.

The province used to provide 100 percent of funding for local water projects, but Wolowski said that has since fallen to below 50 percent.

Engineering services, which were once provided by the province, were also withdrawn in 2005.

Wayne Dybvig, president of the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency, said the province has invested

more than $70 million in water management in the past four years.

He also said the government has supported new projects since 2010.

High water levels and heavy rain have increased demands for provincial funding, he added.

Five new watershed authorities have been established in the province in the past four years.

Extreme weather and flooding during the past few years have put a renewed emphasis on the need for water control infrastructure.

Dybvig said major flooding in 2010, 2011 and 2014 put a strain on existing infrastructure.

Heavy rain in 2011 resulted in onein-500 year water levels in the Souris River system.

In 2014, an area that covered 80,000 sq. kilometres received 100 millimetres of rain over 11 days in late June and early July, causing water to breach more than 400 roads and resulted in one-in-200 year water levels in the Lower Qu’Appelle system.

“It’s very unusual that we have that extreme amount of rainfall over such a large area, and of course we had a lot of consequences because of that,” Dybvig said. brian.cross@producer.com

The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association is looking for a new chief executive officer to work in its new Regina office.

The organization announced March 19 that Craig Douglas, who had been CEO since 2012, was no longer employed by the SCA. It also said the office would move from Saskatoon to Regina by the end of June.

Board chair Bill Jameson said the association had been considering a move to Regina for more than a year.

The board passed a motion to move the office during an in-camera session at a meeting last August.

Jameson said the association needs to be closer to government.

“I think we’d have a better relationship,” he said.

“Quite frankly, our relationship with government has deteriorated in the last year or so, couple years, and we want to improve that. We have been in discussion with government, and they want to improve it too, so this is one of the steps we’ve taken to try and fix that.”

Jameson returned to the board in January after a two year absence and said he wasn’t sure why communication between the association and the provincial government has failed at times.

“We’ve made the decision and we’re moving on,” he said.

He also said Douglas’s leaving was “mostly a function of the office move, put it that way.”

Patty Englund, who was serving as policy analyst, is now interim CEO. Jameson said some of the staff were considering whether they could or would move to Regina, but it was too soon to say.

The association is a development commission under the provincial Agri-Food Act and is charged with developing and promoting the industry by collecting and distributing the voluntary levies that producers pay when they sell cattle.

All producers who pay a checkoff are members of the organization unless they have requested refunds. karen.briere@producer.com

New soybean varieties tackle maturity, weed issues Seeds on tap for western Canadian growers bring earlier maturing crops and new herbicide options

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Soybean growers in central Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan have a new earlymaturing variety to choose from this year.

S0009M2 is Syngenta’s first offering in the 000 maturity group. Small quantities will be available this year. “(It) is much earlier than what’s typically on the market,” Ross Weikel, head of soybeans in North America, said during an interview at the 2015 Commodity Classic conference.

Up until now, Syngenta’s varieties have been suitable only for southern Manitoba, where they were the topyielding soybean in the short-season zone, according to 2014 yield trials conducted by Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers.

The new variety can be grown in central Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan, which are in the 000 maturity zone. Only two other 000 varieties are on the market.

“We’re very excited to have (our) first launch into that area,” said Weikel. “For the 2016 season we expect it to be a pretty big seller.”

Kyle Friesen, president of Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers, is pleased another early maturing option is available for growers.

“This would just help us expand our region further into some of the more shorter season growing areas,” he said.

“From the sounds of it, (S0009M2) will be one of the shorter season varieties that is commercially available.”

Friesen was also happy to hear Monsanto is gearing up to launch Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans in Western Canada in 2016, pending regulatory approval.

It will be the largest biotech product launch in the company’s history, hitting the market first in North America and then in South America later in the decade.

The product was originally slated for commercialization in 2014, but the approval process has been much slower than anticipated.

That has given the company time to beef up the product line. Monsanto plans to hit the market with more than 60 varieties covering eight soybean maturity groups.

“It’s going to be six times more than the number of products launched in 2009 with Roundup Ready 2 Yield, so we’re really excited about that achievement,” Miriam Paris, Xtend system launch manager, said during a news conference at the 2015 Commodity Classic conference.

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans will be sold through the company’s Asgrow and Channel brands, its regional brands and its licensee brands. Asgrow will offer the widest selection of varieties.

DiPal Chaudhari, Asgrow brand manager, said the new line of soybeans builds on the 1996 launch of Roundup Ready soybeans and the 2009 launch of the Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans.

“Those were both huge milestones, monumental shifts in options for farmers,” he said. “This is going to be bigger than both of those.”

Roundup Ready 2 Yield Xtend soybeans add dicamba tolerance to the Roundup Ready 2 Yield platform,

providing growers with enhanced weed control.

Monsanto said the new technology will work well on most of the 200 million acres of soybeans grown in North and South America.

That includes Western Canada, where it will allow growers to control Roundup Ready canola volunteers, said Paris.

Friesen said providing growers with more weed control options is a good thing, especially for growers in western Manitoba and Saskatchewan, where there is a long history of growing Roundup Ready canola.

“Having the dicamba option as a

herbicide for soybeans will definitely help manage that challenge in soybean production,” he said.

Monsanto used its breeding program in North Dakota to develop and field test lines suitable for Western Canada. It will have varieties for the 00 maturity zone and possibly the 000 maturity zone.

“The feedback we’ve gotten from the local (western Canadian) teams is that they’re really excited about bringing in that second mode of action,” said Paris.

The new soybean product has full regulatory approval in Canada, as do Monsanto’s two new herbicides,

Roundup Xtend and XtendiMax. The soybean has U.S. approval, but Monsanto is still waiting for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to approve the herbicides.

The soybean has not been approved in the European Union or China, but Paris is confident those approvals will be in place in time for the launch planned for next year.

The company will be conducting extensive field trials this year to determine what kind of a yield bump growers can expect over control varieties. The results have been good in small plot trials.

“I’m a breeder by training, so I get

really excited about this. From a yield perspective they’re performing outstanding,” said Paris.

“They’re really out-yielding our controls; not based on the trait, just based on the breeding process.”

Roundup Xtend is a premix containing low-volatility dicamba and glyphosate, while XtendiMax is a low-volatility dicamba tank-mix partner.

Dicamba controls 274 small- and large-seeded broadleaf weeds, takes little water to activate and has a residual effect in the soil for up to 14 days. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARM POLICY

Farm groups walk a ‘fine line’ with government Leaders of farm organizations say they remain at arm’s length from government, despite public endorsements

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

When the Alberta Wheat Commission releases public statements supporting the federal government, it does so because the government policy or program serves the needs of Alberta farmers, says the group’s chair.

“If we had a press release … praising the announcement of funding or a bill being passed, it’s a support that we have because it falls in line with one of our strategic priorities,” said Kent Erickson, who farms near Irma, Alta.

The wheat commission and other producer-governed farm organizations in Canada often issue public statements that echo a similar release from the federal government when promoting government policy or achievement as good for farmers.

Erickson said the wheat commission issues its own releases to connect with its farmer members.

“Maybe sometimes producers don’t necessarily see the announcement from the government, but they might see the announcement from the producer group,” he said.

When you have issues, sometimes you get further ahead by having friendly discussions rather than having confrontation.

KENT ERICKSON ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION

“That (news release) will hopefully get some feedback. If it’s something that isn’t in favour in Alberta … that might spark some people to give us a call and ask us some questions.”

Bryan Rogers, executive director of Grain Growers of Canada, said the

organization issued a statement in late February noting the royal assent of Bill C-18 because it supports the policy changes in the Agricultural Growth Act. “GGC’s stated mission is to work collaboratively with government to

pursue a policy environment that maximizes global competitiveness of Canadian farmers,” Rogers said in an email.

“We are pleased to lend our support to policies that help us achieve that goal and work closely with all governments for the best interests of grain producers.”

Erickson said an amiable relationship with the government is obviously more beneficial than a hostile one.

“When you have issues, sometimes you get further ahead by having friendly discussions rather than having confrontation,” he said.

“You want to have a good relationship with whoever the governing party is because they have the ability to move forward with your policies.”

Weldon Newton, a former Keystone Agricultural Producers president, said farm group leaders need to have constructive relationships with agriculture ministers and government representatives.

However, he said working with the government while representing the interests of farmers can be a “fine line” to walk.

“Publicly you’ve got to be measured in how you keep that (relationship) at arm’s length, so you can function on behalf of your members.”

Erickson said news releases praising the federal government do pose a perception risk, but Alberta farmers can contact the commission it they are concerned.

“If it comes across as applauding or cheerleading for the government, that’s a decision the reader or whoever reads our press release … perceives it,” he said.

“I would hope there would be a response to us, in emails and letters, that we’re not in line with what our strategic plan is and our priorities are and what the producers’ priorities are.”

Tom Steve, general manager of the wheat commission, said he hasn’t heard negative feedback regarding the supportive news releases.

“We haven’t. We do regional meetings across Alberta … and our members are welcome to come and express their opinions,” he said.

“If there was a major concern we could certainly take that seriously.”

Steve said commission leaders prefer to talk directly to government officials if they are frustrated with government policies. “(As for) communication tactics, do you lead with a press release or do you try and establish contact and actually meet with politicians and urge them to take action?”

Erickson said the commission doesn’t solely focus on its relationship with the federal Conservative party.

Leaders of Alberta agricultural commodity groups travelled to Ottawa this winter to meet with government and opposition representatives.

“We met with all the parties,” he said.

“So we are very engaged (with) all the parties…. You never know who (will be) in power, and who’s going to be the governing body.” robert.arnason@producer.com

AGRICULTURAL LABOUR

Western Canada takes hit on TFWP changes A prairie think-tank says changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program disproportionately affect the region

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Changes to the Temporary Foreign Workers Program are disproportionately affecting western Canadian employers, says a Calgary thinktank.

The federal government introduced the restrictions last year, bringing caps that limit the use of low wage, unskilled temporary foreign workers.

The announcement followed highly publicized cases that critics said showed misuse of the program.

Since then, the changes have left meat packers with countless job openings in rural areas that officials say Canadians are unable or unwilling to fill.

“I think (employment minister Jason) Kenney really wanted this to reduce unemployment, so people who are in areas where there’s higher unemployment would have more opportunity for some of these jobs,” said Janet Lane of the Canada West Foundation.

In July, employers will be able to fill their workforce with no more than 20 percent temporary foreign workers.

The number drops to 10 percent in 2016.

However, the foundation said in a recently published paper that 75 percent of the reduction in temporary foreign worker positions will occur in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

That number could exceed 8,400 workers in Alberta, which is six times the reduction in Ontario, where the workforce is larger and the unemployment rate is higher.

“In a perfect world — and we do understand this and we would promote this — Canadians would have (the) jobs and Canadians would be the first in line to take these jobs,” said Lane.

“In the past, in the West, we have not had as much take-up of these jobs by Canadian-born people, and we have relied on immigrants and then lately on temporary foreign workers to fill these jobs.”

Lane said the food and accommodation sector has been affected the most.

The changes don’t affect the Seasonal Agriculture Worker Program that commercial farms, use, but it does affect processors, which are lobbying government for an express entry program to help address a labour crisis in western Canadian packing plants.

The issue was recently raised in

75% OF THE REDUCTION IN THE TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM WILL BE SHOULDERED

BY THE WEST

Senate agriculture and forestry committee hearings about international market access priorities.

“We were assured that express entry would work on the basis of aligning the economic streams of immigration to high demand occupations in the economy, not arbitrarily defined by skill level.

Well it’s come in and it is defined solely by skill level,” Rory McAlpine, senior vice-president of government and industry relations for Maple Leaf Foods, told the committee March 10.

“As soon as you move into pro-

cessing activity, if you don’t meet that high-skill definition, then you’re not eligible (for express entry). What’s happened is we have been severely compromised by the impact of changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, but it hasn’t been offset by what we had h o p e d w o u l d b e a mu c h m o re labour- and market-economy driven approach to the immigration system.”

McAlpine said 150 jobs are open in the Maple Leaf’s Brandon facility and thousands more across the country, which means processors are doing

less value-added processing and reducing exports.

Policies should focus on recruiting and retaining Canadian workers, as well as immigration, he added.

“Where there is a demonstrated shortfall, as there is particularly in rural communities where many of the plants are, that should be open to an immigration program that ensures they get permanency and can become stable long-term employees of the businesses,” said McAlpine.

Sylvain Charlebois, a professor of food distribution and policy at the University of Guelph, wrote in a

recently published column that the government should reconsider its position.

“It’s to allow people to become permanent residents. That was my very high level recommendation,” Charlebois told senators March 12.

“Again, I didn’t dive into much details. I’m sure that you’re probably more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to options that could be provided to these people, but essentially what I’m trying to say is that we need them.” dan.yates@producer.com

INPUTS

U.S. farmers may reduce pricey fertilizer; corn would take hit CHICAGO (Reuters) — U.S. farmers will likely use less nitrogen fertilizer this season.

The cost is sky-high even though the price of natural gas, which is the fertilizer’s key ingredient, is down 40 percent from last year.

The reduction in usage should hit corn plantings more than other

crops, since nitrogen is the key booster of corn yields.

“What we’re seeing this season is a reduction in rates,” said Ray Carpenter, senior vice-president of agronomy for Farmers Cooperative in Ames, Iowa, referring to nitrogen bookings.

“Reduced rates mean reduced yield.”

Natural gas prices are around

US$2.716 per million BTU, down from $4.536 last year.

However, the price of anhydrous ammonia, a popular nitrogen fertilizer, remains high, around $650 to $700 per ton.

This is because fertilizer inventories remain thin due to shipping backlogs last year and because the

industry is controlled by a few big players.

“The reality is input costs don’t come down as fast as the break-even price,” said analyst Sterling Liddell of Rabobank.

Crops require nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, with corn the single biggest user of those nutrients. It

takes roughly one pound of nitrogen per acre to yield one bushel of corn.

Crop specialization has made corn acres increasingly dependent on nitrogen as U.S. farmers grow it year after year.

“I don’t want to over-spend,” said Iowa farmer Mark Recker, who will begin field work soon.

LOCAL FOOD

B.C. island ag ventures find new support Economic development boards are helping local food producers thrive for consumers’ benefit

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

COURTENAY, B.C. — Water buffalo cheese, salmon pepperoni and broccoli sprouts are just a few of the unusual items produced in Vancouver Island’s Comox Valley.

The willingness to take a leap of faith on such ventures says a lot about the people who live here: from the dairy farmers who don’t want to milk cows anymore to those seeking to reduce their reliance on imports.

Gary Rolston, a professional agrologist with From the Ground Up, said fertilizer and feed cost 15 to 20 percent more on the island than on the mainland, which has led to an increase in locally produced grass fed beef.

Vancouver Island produces less than five percent of the beef it eats.

Rolston said many of the early dairy farmers came from Europe and had to find alternatives to chemical fertilizers and learn how to grow high protein feed.

“We can grow forage like nowhere else in the country,” said Rolston, noting that up to six cuts of silage are possible with irrigation.

He said beef production makes no sense on paper, except for farmers who own their land and develop grazing systems. Creating a uniform product is also key in grass fed beef, something area producers are now working on.

The development of the Comox Valley as a food destination was enhanced through the promotional work of groups such as Comox Valley Economic Development.

“That further strengthened opportunities for local producers,” he said.

The valley, which offers products as varied as fresh vegetables, whiskey and shellfish, may also benefit from water shortages in California. One U.S. company is clearing large tracts of land near Comox, Parksville and Duncan for future horticultural production.

Rolston said intensive agriculture makes better sense for the smaller

sized island farms.

“That’s the way we should be going here,” he said. “We’re not a commodity producing area,” he said. “Intensify what is in production as opposed to bringing more land in.”

Rolston said Carmen and Glenn Wakeling’s Eatmore Sprouts is a great success story and a major contributor to the industry.

Carmen Wakeling said she is keen to support local agriculture and greater food security on the island, whose food supply could be compromised by ferry shutdowns.

“I really want to see local producers thrive and survive,” she said.

Eatmore grew from a tiny facility in their backyard in Oyster River, B.C., with two employees to the Courtenay plant and greenhouses that today employ 45 local people. It grows 3,600 kilograms of alfalfa, bean, broccoli and peas sprouts a week for customers across the West.

Wakeling said the business developed from a desire to feed people good healthy food and make the island more self-sustaining. They have received strong support from markets for organic, fresh, raw and vegan food, she added.

“You can do anything you put your mind to but not without people buying your products,” said Wakeling.

She sells to Locals, a popular Courtenay restaurant that has shown what’s possible using in-season, locally available food.

Wakeling said island horticulture is challenged by the weather and freight costs in addition to cheap labour and subsidies in the much larger Califor-

She said consumers became spoiled by having produce available year round on grocery store shelves.

“We have stepped back from eating what’s available in season,” she said.

“We were not supporting local

farmers and they went away.”

She said only 30 percent of the land that could be used to grow food in the Comox Valley is currently being used.

“There is potential to grow more food, and if there’s potential, we need

to figure out how to do it,” she said.

Sandra, Val and Gerry McClintock are turning water buffalo milk into cheese, yogurt and eventually gelato as part of their agrifood business plan.

New ideas keep island promoters thriving

Social media may bridge gap between rural, city residents

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BLACK CREEK, B.C. — Entrepreneurial blood has always pumped through Lia and Brian McCormick’s veins.

They have grown wasabi on Vancouver Island and operated a restaurant. More recently, they produced salad greens and squash for local markets.

Now in their 40s, they are poised to capitalize on a large local food movement with the acquisition of a small farm at Black Creek.

“It seems to be increasing,” said Lia. “We should be growing more food.

Prices are high in the store. Maybe we could change that if we were growing more.”

The McCormicks started scooping sea salt out of the Strait of Georgia two years ago and boiling and drying it to create Clever Crow sea salt, herbs and spices.

“I’ve always been entrepreneurial.

I like coming up with new ideas,” said Lia. Brian is the harvester and Lia experiments with herb blends for the salt. Smoked and rosemary are among their most popular varieties.

“We love to eat and we love to cook,” said Lia, who works full time in the business while Brian is a chef at a retirement home.

The farm will allow them room to have an on-farm store, grow produce and raise chickens. One day they would like to add goats and pigs.

Brian said they produce 15 kilograms of sea salt a week, which they soon hope to double. Salt is sold from 1/2 kg to 45 grams and in travel-sized tins priced at $3 each.

“It’s easy to do on a small scale,” he said.

Added Lia: “The challenge is how can we make it bigger.”

They use pots to boil down 80 litres of water into 10 litres of salt brine, which is filtered and roasted in a pan at a low temperature. The salt crystals are then extracted and dried on trays.

Mozarella made from water buffalo milk is among the many cheeses that Doug Smith has created at the Natural Pastures Cheese Company in Courtenay.

“You have to educate people about what it is, how to eat it,” said Smith, who can be found doing just that at the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market each week.

He made the switch from a family dairy operation on Vancouver Island, where dairy numbers have dropped to 40 today from 140 in the 1980s.

The business’s cheese sales have steadily grown, and Smith is currently studying how to deal with the

It takes its toll on pumps and countertops, so upgrades to commercial grade stainless steel in the shop kitchen will be necessary to sell their product beyond the island in the future.

They don’t have local competition, and sea salt from southern Vancou-

influx of more subsidized cheese from Europe.

“We will have to be able to compete with it. Cheese consumption won’t go up,” he said.

Smith hopes the local advantage is his ace. He sells 60 percent of Natural Pastures cheese on Vancouver Island.

“Some won’t buy on price alone,” he said.

Rolston advised would-be entrepreneurs to do their research, develop business plans and talk to locals before embarking on a new enterprise.

“There is a critical mass of expertise that allows these people to get in without making big mistakes,” said Rolston.

The hardpan layer under the soil in the valley makes soil too wet in the winter and too dry in the summer, but an investment in drainage tiles could

increase the productivity of the land, he said.

Producers should also check out soils and microclimates, such as the 1,650 millimetres of rain seen in Cumberland compared to the 1,000 mm around Comox, and the frost prone areas near Mount Washington, which hamper the growing season.

“The closer you get to the ocean, the better the soils will be and the climate and access to water,” he said.

Rolston cited an increase in wineries but noted that less than 10 percent of the land in the Comox Valley is suited to grape production. Some, such as Coastal Black Estate Winery, are finding success with fruit wines made from Canada’s largest cultivated blackberry acreage.

RED DEER — For decades, farmers have commented on the lack of connection between them and urbanites.

Social media might be the answer, especially for young farm families who want to meet with others like them to share common ideas or pick up some useful skills.

One of these connections can be found through a website called www.farmon.com.

Supported by the Farm On Foundation at Bashaw, Alta., the developers launched a Twitter hashtag, #farmvoices that has gained thousands of followers around the world.

Ben Wilson, speaking at the Western Stock Growers Association meeting in February, said the idea behind Farm Voices was to give farmers a voice.

A former aerospace engineer who married farmer Kelly Northey of Bashaw, he advocates for the power of social media in promoting agriculture and answering consumer questions.

“The agriculture industry has to get with the times and start using modern tools and technology to predict and spot these trends ahead of time. You can access all that data for free on the internet in real time,” Wilson said.

One of the early projects encouraged farmers around the world to submit farm pictures via Twitter on Earth Day on April 22, 2013. The

pictures had to show a love of agriculture, farm struggles or a demonstration of how they care for the land.

About 2,000 stories were submitted in 24 hours from 23 countries.

Last year, 3,000 people from 25 countries posted their pictures and stories.

“It moved with the time zones and the sun rising around the globe,” he said. Half the traffic is from the United States but people from as far as Australia are also involved.

The foundation hopes to see even greater traffic on April 22 this year.

Besides creating a social connection, the website offers four-minute educational videos on how to set up a grazing plan, including practical information about how to build an electric fence or where to place livestock waterers.

Two weeks after the videos were posted, followers responded by showing pictures of what they had done on their farms.

It was created with support from the Grey Wooded Forest Association and Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency.

A pilot project is also being tested to explain animal welfare through the voice of a farmer with support from Alberta Farm Animal Care.

Another partnership with the Agricultural Research and Extension Council will offer videos on starting an environmental farm plan.

A Dad that can’t be forgotten — despite trying Growing up in a home where cruelty and fear prevailed

Book excerpt: Dad couldn’t stand to look at anybody who was sick and had no patience for illness so we never dared to complain or let him find out if we weren’t well. He openly stated several times that anything sick or weak, be it man or beast, should be ‘knocked on the head.’

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pat Trask rarely visits the vacant old farmhouse near Tessier, Sask., anymore. The chimney has fallen into the kitchen, where crushing memories linger. Slices of paint bend and curl down from the ceiling like giant tears.

She can still see her mother, Ivy Faris, bent over the old wood stove, hard at work while her father dozed on the couch under the window.

It’s a picture of a calm before the storm. Trask learned early in life not to judge a book by its cover.

The old saying reminds her of her father, Ken Faris, and the years of abuse he inflicted on his family throughout the Great Depression and beyond.

She remembers a good looking man who wore a smile for his poker playing friends and strangers on the street. However, behind closed doors on the farm he was a controlling, lazy tyrant who regularly abused his wife and six daughters.

“He was such a handsome man and everybody thought his personality matched his handsomeness,” said Trask, who now lives in Harris, Sask.

It wasn’t much wonder then that Trask selected the title of her selfpublished book, The Man Behind Handsome, two years before she ever put pen to paper.

“I thought that told the story right there, calling him that,” she said.

Many victims might try burying a childhood filled with mistreatment, but the octogenarian’s motives for publishing a memoir were to “tattle on” the bullies and abusers out there.

Writing it came fast and furious, but the decision to chronicle personal details of her life took much deliberation, mostly out of respect for the living. She consulted with three siblings still alive, who supported exposing their father.

“Finally I thought, ‘no, these kind of people who abuse their families, whether it be men or women, need to be exposed. Otherwise they’re hiding behind that closed door of the house, and it will go on forever because nobody’s ever supposed to tell anything out of the home.’ It’s time people started speaking up and telling these things.”

Social worker and teacher Jacklin Andrews said chronicling personal abuse is a healthy way of facing it instead of burying or pretending it didn’t occur.

“Yes it did happen and despite everything, I survived and I’m OK. That abuser was not able to absolutely destroy my life,” he said.

“That was certainly the case with Trask. She survived and did well.”

Andrews said writing helps victims get out of the emotional world they are in and gain perspective.

“I think she wrote it to clarify things for herself. She needed to write it for her own reasons,” he said.

In spite of the book, Trask said there are memories that linger and wounds that cannot heal.

She remembers one Saturday

morning. While Trask and her sisters were in the barn milking cows and cleaning stalls, their father was in the house sleeping late. He often indulged after late nights of gambling away the milk money.

A calf began to bawl unceasingly, and not sure what to do, the girls made several attempts to wake their father, only to be met with profanity.

It was well past lunch before the calf died and their father roused himself.

Trask said what followed next was brutal and stinging anger, a mix of contempt, hate and profanity.

“Like the calf, we had been abandoned, left whimpering in a corner to fend for ourselves,” she wrote.

“Nature had ended the animal’s agony. We still had more than five years of suffering before we could leave home.”

She also remembers the day her father gave the sisters permission to go to town and have lunch with friends. Their father met them at the door in a rage.

“He was in a frothing-of-the-mouth state, throwing us around. I was 16,” she said. “Those were the dangerous ones because you certainly didn’t want to spark him into any physical action. You sort of held your breath until he was done. You didn’t get up and leave the room because then he’d direct it at you and quite often got physical,” Trask said.

“You were subjected to listen to him as long as he wanted to rant. That was one of the hardest parts.”

One of the tragedies of this situation was how normal it became.

“Our little world was so small then, we sort of thought that most houses operated like ours did.… We thought it was ordinary,” said Trask.

Andrews said abusers tend to isolate their victims, a technique still happening in rural areas.

“Ten to 15 years ago, I heard from a woman who said her husband would let air out of the tires on all the trucks so she couldn’t go to town,” he said.

Andrews said the instances of abuse haven’t changed that much, but more resources are available for victims.

Trask said she has been praised for the book, published in 2012, and her courage in writing it.

FANNY BAY, B.C. — Feeding 32 goat kids at once at the Snap Dragon Dairy near Fanny Bay would be a time consuming nightmare if the farmers didn’t use milk pails with nipples on all sides.

“They can sully up to the bar and drink all they want,” said Karen Fouracre of her Toggenburg herd.

This late winter day on Vancouver Island, the crocuses are up in the farmyard and twice daily milkings of 17 does carry on as usual as the farm waits for the arrival of five more kids.

Learning the finer points of livestock production was a steep learning curve for Fouracre and Jaki Ayton, friends who grew up in Victoria.

The challenges included initially buying bad stock.

“The first couple of goats, we got taken,” said Ayton.

They measure each goat’s production to help them decide which ones to breed or sell, with the farm selling $4,000 worth of milk goats last year.

Poor milkers are sold to meat markets along with the male culls.

“We’re not going to set somebody else up to fail,” said Ayton.

Meat markets are increasing slowly at the local level but are strong in ethnic communities around Langley, B.C., on the mainland.

The milk is marketed to health food stores, cheese makers and organic markets such as Island Naturals in Nanaimo, B.C., and through a farmers market.

“We sell to stores that want high end products, people that care how animals are treated,” said Ayton.

Added Fouracre: “We give them a wholesale price because we don’t

want to price ourselves out of the market.”

The farm competes on price with the much larger mainland goat dairies and is one of only three on the island.

They sell their milk for $1.75 per litre wholesale and are currently looking at bottling milk for retail markets to get a better price.

They are also exploring pooling with other producers to have enough milk for buyers.

They created Legato Gelato to add value to their goat milk and process it at Tree Island Gourmet Yogurt in the Comox Valley and the Lush Valley Food Action Society’s commercial kitchen.

The friends divide the work: Fouracre is in charge of the dairy and milking and Ayton handles medications, breeding, recordkeeping and sanctioned goat shows.

“If you want to get into goats, go to shows and see their characteristics,” said Fouracre.

Ayton said the shows are recreation but also a good way to connect with other producers.

They are also involved in their community, teaching 4-Hers how to judge goats and mentoring others interested in rearing goats.

They have stocked different breeds but favour Toggenburgs.

“They’re calm, sweet and the smallest of the dairy goats,” Ayton said.

Added Fouracre: “Nubians are the most popular backyard goats, the Siamese cats of the goat world.”

Ayton cited Fouracre’s strengths in handling the dairy.

“Karen has a lot of energy, lots of social skills, she likes meeting new people and getting things done.”

FAMILY ABUSE

Abuse in families still an issue but more help is available SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Grandma finally told us how difficult life was for her as a young girl growing up on the farm.

Apparently the little house on the Prairies, the life of the pioneer, was not always as wonderful as we have been told. Grandma lived in an abusive environment. Her dad beat her, her brothers, sisters and mother indis-

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Fouracre said Ayton is skilled at doing research.

“If there’s a better way to do it, she figures it out.”

They train and hand raise the goats on less than two acres but walk them onto crown land to forage. High land costs make a larger land base unfeasible. Kuvasz and mixed breed dogs and electric fencing help control predator attacks.

“It’s lots of work but it pays off,” said Fouracre.

They believe their goats produce better tasting milk, as much as six litres per goat per day, because they use only non-genetically modified feed.

Fouracre said they have dabbled in cattle and sheep but found goats more manageable.

The decision to raise goats four years ago was spurred by her lactose intolerance.

Ayton said they keep veterinary costs to a minimum by doing preventive maintenance on the herd, giving them adequate room and breeding for hardy goats.

“I do what’s best for the girls. They get medicine if in pain. I don’t want them to suffer,” she said.

Ayton seeks to improve the herd through careful breeding and the introduction of other breeds.

“Ones with trouble are gone so you’re not breeding them.”

They also raise their own produce, chickens and a few batches of pigs, which are fed waste milk from the dairy and processed at nearby Gunter Bros. The meat is sold locally.

This year, they will keep the best six of their kids.

“You can’t keep them all,” said Ayton.

Tears are shed when they lose some of their long-time milkers, but they know it’s part of the business.

“There’s a lot of death, that’s hard,” said Ayton.

Fouracre said too many people get into agr iculture and are overwhelmed as the herd numbers and workload increase.

“Within four years, if you haven’t culled, you’re not going to be a farmer,” she said. karen.morrison@producer.com

criminately, depending on his mood and sobriety at the time. It was hidden behind closed doors. No one in the community knew of this violence.

Grandma’s father was well liked and respected by his peers and when Grandma tried to tell school teachers, a doctor and minister, they shrugged her off. All that her father had to say was that Grandma was a difficult child and he was off the hook. No one supported her.

Are things getting better and safer for families today or are people, just like my grandma, hiding their abuse under the table?

A:

Abuse is a difficult and complex subject. When your grandmother was a girl, the resources

available for families were virtually non-existent. The courts, medical professions and churches tended to turn a blind eye to families struggling with abusive parents.

They were even less supportive if that abuse included sexual intrusions. Children growing up in these circumstances could only hope to find someone who cared and supported them until they were able to leave home.

Home life on the Prairies is a lot safer today. We have a number of social service agencies that support children. Schoolteachers, ministers, doctors and nurses have all been trained to be sensitive to the abused child and families.

Despite the leap forward in social

sensitivity, abuse continues to be an issue on the farm and in communities. A number of children are too intimidated to report their parents and even those parents who have been reported are not necessarily picked up by the courts.

When you find children who are shell shocked, too intimidated to appreciate the company of others or shy beyond reason, you have to wonder what is going on in their homes.

All provinces have social service agencies to which abuse should be reported. You do not have to handle this alone.

KICK START YOUR CROP’S

health & productivity.

Insure your investment with a seed treatment.

“

Farming is risky. If you’re a farmer, you know you have absolutely no control over most of that risk. Volatile markets can throw commodity prices for a loop. Wild weather can decimate a prime crop. Spring can come late or winter early, ruining the best-laid plans.

But some farming risk can be managed easily and inexpensively. If you’d like to maximize returns from your crop—and sleep better at night—experts recommend you consider a seed treatment. Seed treatments start seedlings strong by mitigating many kinds of disease and insect risk, leading to faster emergence, stronger plant stands and improved yield.

“We see seed treatments as a best management practice and recommend that all farmers across Alberta use them,” says Lorena Pahl, executive director of the Alberta Seed Growers Association. “Many factors can ruin a crop; a seed treatment can ensure that a problem at germination or emergence isn’t one of those factors.”

“

T

he much-anticipated Supreme Court of Canada decision on physician-assisted dying was released last month.

Criminal Code section 241(b) states that anyone who aids or abets a person to commit suicide is guilty of an offence.

Criminal Code section 14 states that no person is entitled to have death inflicted upon him, and such consent does not remove the criminal responsibility of anyone assisting with that death.

In the Kay Carter case, the court concluded that laws prohibiting a physician’s assistance in terminating life (those sections of the Criminal Code) infringe upon a person’s rights under The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In particular, the section 7 charter right to life, liberty and security of the person were infringed in a manner not in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

The court, in summarizing the differing interests before it, reported: “This is a question that asks us to balance competing values of great importance. On the one hand stands the autonomy and dignity of a competent adult who seeks death as a response to a grievous and irremediable medical condition. On the other stands the sanctity of life and the need to protect the vulnerable.”

In reviewing the decision made at trial in the lower court, the Supreme Court accepted that judge’s findings on the review of evidence before her.

The court also found that “a properly administered regulatory regime is capable of protecting the vulnerable from abuse or error.”

The court said it is for Parliament and the provincial legislatures to respond by enacting legislation consistent with its decision in the Carter case.

In practical terms, those two sections of the Criminal Code are declared void to the extent that they prohibit physician-assisted death for a competent adult person who clearly consents to the termination of life and has a grievous and irremediable medical condition that causes enduring suffering that is intolerable to the individual.

The court suspended that declaration of invalidity for 12 months, meaning that there is a year for Parliament and legislatures to bring in such new laws.

Importantly, the court stated at paragraph 113 of the decision, “In our view, nothing in the declaration of invalidity which we propose to issue would compel physicians to provide assistance in dying. The declaration simply renders the criminal prohibition invalid.”

shorter crop rotations, have caused more disease inoculum to accumulate in the soil,” says Neil Whatley, a crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “[This] is an indicator that seed treatment may be cheap insurance for many growers in the spring of 2015.”

Under ideal conditions, seedlings can achieve a good start on their own. Many times, however, a variety of factors conspire against a seedling’s growth, including seeding early into cold soil, excessive or insufficient moisture or disease and insect pressure.

Seed treatments protect crops from pathogens present in and on the soil, on infected residue, or carried within the seed. While some seed treatments protect young plants from early leaf disease and root rot infection, the main role of a seed treatment is to protect seeds from seed rot and seedling blights. Some treatment brands also contain insecticides that help control insects such as flea beetle and wireworm. Protection against these pests helps to ensure a stronger seedling and higher plant population, thereby promoting a strong crop that is better able to compete against later stressors including weeds, foliar diseases, insects and harsh weather.

A seed treatment is only as good as its coverage. Buying professionally treated seed from a certified seed producer or retailer or having it processed and treated through a seed cleaning plant is highly recommended. If you choose to apply treatment to your own seeds, ensure you have the proper equipment and your machine is calibrated for the specific product.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Rabbit producers to develop code of practice National standards will help establish good handling practices and ensure quality of life for animals

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canadian rabbit producers are developing their first code of practice through a process established by the National Farm Animal Care Council.

Members of the committee that will develop the rabbit code were scheduled to have their first meeting March 19-20. It will be ready by fall 2017 if all goes according to the NFACC plan. “At this point we have nothing, so this is a big step,� said Ontario Rabbit president Michelle Sanders. “We’ve never had a code of practice.

This isn’t an update. This is starting from scratch.�

Rabbit producers approached the council about developing a code several years ago. The process was launched once funding was in place, with the Quebec rabbit organization taking the lead.

Quebec rabbit producer Maxime Tessier said in a news release that the code is an important step. “The development of this code is an excellent opportunity for Canada’s rabbit sector to come together and establish a national standard that ensures a good quality of life for rab-

bits raised in Canada.�

Codes of practice are guidelines for the care and handling of farm animals. They contain requirements as well as recommendations on how species of livestock should be managed.

The council has completed seven code updates in the last six years, including beef cattle, dairy cattle and hogs.

Sanders said a code for rabbits is needed to protect producers against accusations of improper handling and to help new entrants understand what is required and expected. “It would make people feel more comfortable about starting if we had a code,� she said.

Other countries have codes of practice for rabbits, and council general manager Jackie Wepruk said those would be examined as part of the process for a Canadian model. “We always need to keep in mind that these are codes for Canadian producers in Canadian environ-

ments, and so it needs to be applicable to a Canadian situation,â€? she said. “It’s a good starting point to use those other codes ‌ but we also have to make sure that we’re applying it in a way that works for Canadian situations.â€?

The council has also recently undertaken an update to the veal calves code of practice, which is projected for completion in fall 2017.

Five codes are in various stages of development, said Wepruk.

The bison code is being updated, while a code for chickens, turkeys and hatching eggs and another for layer hens are being revised. “So far everything is moving along really well,� said Wepruk. “We’ve adjusted the public comment period for the poultry code related to the meat birds, so we’ve moved that code back by a couple of months, but it’s still expected that we’re going to meet our overall timelines.�

The livestock transport code will likely to be next on the list for update, which Wepruk said could be complex. “We recognize that that’s a priority one,� she said. “It’s just a matter of figuring out how to manage a code that has so many groups that need to be involved.�

ALBERTA WHEAT COMMISSION

Portion of $2.2 million funding allocated to winter wheat research One arm of research will look at expanding the fall seeding window in order to increase acreage

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

There was more than a wee bit o’ green announced on St. Patrick’s Day at the Lethbridge Research Centre.

The Alberta Wheat Commission received $1 million in federal funding for winter wheat research that, with some matching funds and investment from the AWC and various partners, will bring $2.2 million to focus on the crop over the next four years.

The funds are earmarked for evaluation of new winter wheat varieties, development of best management

POULTRY SECTOR

California turkey farm hit with bird flu outbreak The strain is not the highly pathogenic H5N2 discovered in Arkansas (Reuters) — The United States has reported a mild form of bird flu on a turkey farm in California, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) said March 18.

It is the latest in a series of outbreaks to hit the U.S. poultry industry in recent months.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a report posted on the OIE website that a commercial turkey flock in Merced County near San Francisco had been coughing with a slight increase in mortality.

Samples were submitted for laboratory testing and were confirmed positive for low pathogenic H7N3 avian influenza, it said.

The infected premises was placed under quarantine following preliminary findings, and an epidemiological investigation was initiated, it said.

Follow-up surveillance and testing on 10 associated farms showed negative results for bird flu.

The strain that was discovered differed from the highly pathogenic H5N2 avian flu, which has been found recently in other states, notably Arkansas, the heart of America’s poultry producing region.

It was also different from the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu found on a Californian turkey farm in January, which prompted five export markets to bar imports of poultry from the state.

Bird flu viruses are divided into two groups based on their ability to cause disease.

Highly pathogenic bird flu spreads rapidly, may cause serious disease and has high death rates in birds. The H5N1 and H7N9 types have also been found in humans, causing several hundred deaths.

Low pathogenic bird flu causes milder disease that may be undetected.

However, the H7 variant can mutate into a highly pathogenic type, prompting extreme precaution even in cases of low pathogenic outbreaks.

practices and to provide producers w i th i n f or mati o n a n d t o o ls t o address agronomic challenges.

Kevin Auch, vice-chair of the AWC, said 11 research projects are planned and will be led by Agriculture Canada research scientist Brian Beres, in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited Canada.

Among the projects are those focusing on pest control, input management, expanding the seeding window and the use of crop growth regulators.

“Some of the research that they’re doing here to improve the agronomy, it will make it more attractive

and easier for us farmers to actually get winter wheat in the ground in a timely fashion and realize the advantages that the marketplace offers on the other end,” said Auch after the announcement at the research centre.

The need to seed winter wheat at the same time as spring crops are being harvested in fall tends to limit the acreage planted, Auch said.

Research into expanding the seeding window might be particularly useful in addressing that challenge.

“Later into the fall would definitely make it easier because then the crop that was growing here the previous

year will already be harvested and we can get the seed in the ground for the next year.”

Auch said AWC participation in trade missions organized by Cereals Canada has proven there is international demand for winter wheat and the qualities it offers for milling and baking.

“There’s a significant opportunity in the international marketplace that farmers could access through winter wheat sales, but expanding winter wheat markets is only part of our long term plan,” said Auch.

“Our long-term goal is to see winter wheat grown where it can be grown,

Shorthorns score big FROM THE ARCHIVES

DON RENNIE SOIL SCIENTIST

75 YEARS AGO: MARCH 28, 1940

Saskatchewan’s soils department, found that the average yield obtained on stubble tests was only four to five bushels less than the summerfallow tests, but the crop stand was more variable and sawfly infestations were greater. The trials also compared drills versus discers.

James Read of Routledge, Man., had a good week at the Brandon Winter Fair. His three young Shorthorn bulls, all sired by F.H. Deacon-bred Glenburn Bellringer, topped their respective classes, won the grand and reserve grand championships and brought the highest prices of the sale.

Farmers in the irrigable area near the South Saskatchewan River Dam in Saskatchewan, now known as Lake Diefenbaker, were worried that they might not make as much profit farming under irrigation as they do in dryland conditions.

The U.S. Senate passed a $928 million farm appropriation bill, which was $203 million above budget. Treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau warned senators that they should not expect the increase to be paid from the treasury’s cash balance.

Canadian Wheat Board commissioner Richard Klassen told farmers at a meeting in Rosthern, Sask., that it would be up to them to convince the federal government to add canola to the board’s marketing powers if that’s what they wanted.

Most of the 50 farmers at the meeting supported such a move, but Klassen said the wheat board couldn’t suppor t them because it must remain neutral.

Paul Steckle, chair of the House of Commons agriculture committee, accused the United States of hiding its own BSE problems while punishing Canada for honestly admitting that it has had several cases.

ENVIRONMENT

Farmers should welcome nature’s architect The wetlands that result when beavers build dams contribute to higher water tables, which boost crop and forage production

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Lorne Fitch can’t put a number on it, but he knows beaver populations are up from recent decades.

And while the wetland architects can be a headache for producers by flooding roads, fields and pastures with dams that retain water and expand wetlands, the riparian specialist with Cows and Fish in Alberta said there’s room for beavers and farmers to get along.

“In the boreal regions, I suspect there we probably have a population that are closer to historic numbers,” said Fitch.

“But I would say on a North American scale, we have only a fraction of what the beaver populations were at the time of European colonization.”

Trappers decimated beaver numbers more than 100 years ago, so today’s population won’t match alltime highs in most areas, but Fitch suspects numbers have also improved in central Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Fitch said beavers have benefited from low fur prices and declining rural populations, meaning their activities cause fewer problems.

“I suspect that part of it, maybe a small part of it, would be that people are actually recognizing that beavers

have some real attributes,” said Fitch.

“For example, they are a climate change adaptation tool, allowing us to start to adapt to the rigours of both floods and droughts. I suspect one of the other reasons is that they’ve just dropped below the radar.”

In a study published last year, University of Saskatchewan researcher Colin Whitfield found that the footprint of beavers is growing across the three continents they inhabit.

The study found a global popula-

tion that has grown to more than 10 million, creating more than 200,000 kilometres of shoreline habitat and 42,000 sq. km of pond areas.

It also found that plant matter collected in these shallow ponds contributes 200 times more greenhouse gases and methane from beaver ponds than in 1900 but was unlikely to be a “climate-change driver.”

Cows and Fish has found that in addition to supporting greater biodiversity, beavers dams and the wet-

lands they’re part of can contribute positively to agriculture through higher water tables that result in greater crop and forage production.

“This becomes pragmatic good business, managing those riparian areas, because of their inherent productivity,” said Fitch.

“These are the deepest, richest soils within a ranching or farming unit.

They’re sub-irrigated, and so these produce the most forage.”

Fitch said not all wetlands should

be drained in favour of high value crop production because cases of drought and floods are expected to rise as a consequence of climate change Dams can extend flood plains, moderate flood peaks and help keep livestock feeding during drought.

“Probably two to three times as much water is stored underground in shallow groundwater aquifers as is stored in the surface water that we can see behind dams, and so that can have a moderating influence,” he said.

“Especially during drought conditions, because these are reservoirs, and if there’s enough beavers at a landscape scale to provide the storage volumes, they can help us work our way through the ravages of drought.”

Cows and Fish has a fact sheet to help producers who do have conflicts with beavers and wetlands. Options can be as simple as wrapping trees, building a fence or modifying a grazing plan.

“Wetlands like beaver dams are a good example of storage facilities that help us also with drought and flood, and in their absence, the magnitude of floods and droughts becomes even larger,” said Fitch. dan.yates@producer.com

Chafer stream bars create large droplets which bounce off leaves, reducing leaf injury when compared to 3/5/7 hole fertilizer nozzles. Leaf injury has been found to reduce cereal yields.

Post applied N allows producers to bridge the gap between applied/ soil available N and yield potential, which is especially important in years with good in-season moisture.

Post applied N significantly reduces lodging, especially when compared to 100% N applied at seeding time (or before).

Research shows that post applied N can boost grain protein, compared to 100% N at seeding time (or before).

New Chafer Multi-Rate stream bars are stronger than previous stream bars, plus they feature a sliding 6 position orifice which allows significantly different application rates on different fields.

HARVESTING ISSUES

Seed losses must be measured for best results Farmers are told it’s not good enough to just look on the ground when combining because seeds can be hard to see

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Most speakers tell a joke to begin a presentation.

Les Hill, the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute’s program director for agriculture and bioresources, prefers to fool his audience.

Speaking to a group of farmers at CanoLab, an agronomy workshop held March 11-12 in Brandon, Hill began by asking growers to examine trays filled with soil, crop residue and canola seed.

The canola seed in one 30 by 60 centimetre tray was coated with a blue seed treatment and the kernels were easy to spot. However, it was difficult to detect seed in the other trays on the table because the black canola kernels blended into the black soil Hill stood back and watched as the farmers attempted to guess the amount of seed in the trays. After leaving his audience hanging for a minute, Hill admitted the exercise was a ruse because it’s nearly impossible to visually gauge seed losses.

“A lot of people will look on the ground. That’s what we’re trying to demonstrate here,” Hill said, pointing to the trays of soil and canola residue.

“Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.”

Hill said it’s worth measuring the amount of loss because a substantial amount of canola can wind up on the ground.

“It’s not uncommon to find people who are dropping five bushels per acre and higher,” he said. “(But) they never looked. Some people say ignorance is bliss. It might be bliss, but it’s awful expensive.”

Chris Holzapfel, research manager at the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation, said it’s hard to estimate how many farmers check for combine losses.

“I think much of it would be visual, getting behind the combine and having a look,” Holzapfel said during CanoLab. “(But) a lot of research is showing that the losses are quite high.”

Hill said growers might assume that modern combines are extremely efficient, but losses can happen with a $45,000 or $450,000 machine.

“People are reluctant (to measure loss) and they may put false faith in the fact that the machines are going to perform based on the settings provided by the manufacturer.”

Combines may be equipped with a loss monitor, but a monitor and measurement are not the same thing.

“A monitor is sensing something but it isn’t measuring in terms of absolute,” said Hill.

He said the sensor detecting the number of lost seeds can be accurate, provided it’s calibrated based on actual measured losses.

To demonstrate a simple measurement method at CanoLab, Hill held up a scoop, which looked like a plastic shovel, and mimicked holding it under a combine spreader.

After separating the kernels from the residue and weighing the seed, growers can follow a basic formula to measure losses per acre: 1 acre = 43,560 sq. feet 1 lb. = 453.6 g Therefore, 1 lb./ acre = 453.6

/43,560 = 0.0104139 g/sq. feet With 50 lb. in a bushel, 1 bu. per acre = 0.52065 g/sq. feet “You end up with about a half a gram (of canola seed) per sq. feet” with a loss of one bu. per acre, Hill said.

He held up the plastic shovel with about 100 seeds in the scoop, to illustrate half of a gram per sq. foot.

“If I threw that (seed) on that black dirt over there, you wouldn’t find it,” Hill said. “How much would it take before you started to even see it?”

In addition to the scoop method, growers may want to consider a more

sophisticated approach by attaching a metal tray or drop pan under the combine just ahead of the rear axle.

“They (the operator) will remotely trip it…. The pan will drop down and the combine passes over,” Hill said, holding up a five sq. foot tray.

The drop pan collects more seed t ha n t h e p l a s t i c s c o o p, w h i c h increases the sample size and likely the accuracy of the measurement.

Combine settings can be adjusted to cut losses if a grower determines that a significant amount of seed is in the drop pan, such as three to five bu. per acre.

“Your fan speed, chaffer opening, sieve opening, rotor speed … all of those things,” Hill said.

Slowing down is another option if those steps are unsuccessful.

“If you push that feed rate higher, your losses are going to go higher,” Hill said. “If that machine will give you a bushel an acre (loss) at three m.p.h., (if) you go four or five m.p.h., (it could be) five or six.”

Holzapfel said a measurement takes time, but growers invest a great deal of money in maximizing yield.

As a result, they should dedicate the

necessary time to reap those rewards at harvest, he said.

“To put all kinds of money and effort into gaining 10 percent yield and then throwing eight percent out the back end is not very effective.”

Hill said several smartphone apps can help with the seed loss calculation, including the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association harvest loss calculator at www.ssca.ca/index. php/28-last-added-projects/72-sscaharvest-loss-calculator. robert.arnason@producer.com

Russia’s 2015 grain crop under pressure

Farm bill payment to peak this year

Poor winter conditions hit the crop hard and farmers may not be able to borrow enough to re-seed MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia’s grain crop may fall short of official forecasts by up to 100 million tonnes this year.

Andrey Oleynik, managing director of a large agribusiness in Russia, said the condition of winter grains in some key growing regions has deteriorated since last year.

The country has been pushing farmers to harvest a large crop this year after a near-record 105 million tonnes last year to cover domestic demand and replenish state stocks after the ruble’s plunge spurred exports.

Basic Element’s agribusiness con-

tributes only a small fraction of the country’s crop — 211,000 tonnes of wheat and barley last year — but it operates in the Krasnodar region, which is key for exports. As a result, the company offers a unique insight into crop conditions there.

“I think the harvest will come in a range of 70 million to 85 million tonnes (of grains),” Oleynik said.

“Winter grains were not in a very good condition after winter, but the weather has favoured us and their condition has improved.… We hope that the harvest will be flat in the Krasnodar region this year. However, in Volgograd and Rostov the situa-

tion is worse and one is unlikely to expect farmers to re-sow much of the lost winter grains in spring as access to loans has become tougher.”

Russia saw the ruble slide 43 percent against the American dollar last year because of tumbling oil and western sanctions over Ukraine.

The sanctions closed western debt markets to most Russian companies and banks, boosting local interest rates on loans, while ruble weakness has lifted the costs of imported inputs, such as seeds and fertilizers.

Oleynik said prices for some imported inputs rose 50 to 200 percent.

The government has been invest-

ing in Russia’s agriculture sector, but the sector is far from covering domestic needs.

Oleynik stopped short of criticizing the state program, but said the company sends proposals to the agriculture ministry.

He said a state program to develop seed production in the country was needed, along with cheaper and longer loans.

Along with crop production, Basic Element’s agribusiness includes dairy and animal farms, a sugar refinery, grain elevators and seed production facilities. Its 2014 revenue rose nine percent to $150 million.

Direct payments were replaced with support tied to market prices CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — Government support for U.S. grain farmers under the new five-year farm bill will peak with the coming crop, says the Fo o d a n d A g r i c u l t u r a l P o l i c y Research Institute in a new report.

The 2014 farm bill replaced traditional direct payments to farmers with support tied to market prices.

Farmers need to choose one of two basic formulas by March 31.

The Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) makes payments based on moving five-year average prices at the county level, while the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) provides payments when national average prices fall below fixed reference prices.

Farmers commit to one option for all five years.

“Payments under 2014 farm bill programs increase when crop prices fall,” the institute said in its 2015 U.S. Baseline Briefing Book. The thinktank estimated that US$3.9 billion in ARC and PLC payments for last year’s 2014 crop would be made after fiscal 2016 begins Oct. 1.

“ARC spending is greatest in 201516 but declines in later years as the moving averages that determine benchmark revenues adjust,” the institute said.

“Projected average ARC and PLC payments peak with the 2015 crop at about $6.5 billion but decline to $3.4 billion for the 2018 crop.”

The institute, based at the University of Missouri, said actual ARC and PLC payments are likely to differ greatly from the projected averages because of price and yield volatility.

The projected farm support payments are separate from the huge U.S. private crop insurance program, which the government both guarantees as a reinsurer and subsidizes by paying 50 percent or more of farmer premiums.

The institute estimated that crop insurance net outlays would average more than $8 billion per year over the next 10 years.

U.S. farmers are expected to reduce corn, wheat and cotton acreage this year because of expectations of lower prices, while slightly increasing soybean area.

The institute said it expected average corn prices to recover to $3.89 per bushel for the 2015-16 marketing year because of reduced U.S. production, while continued large global supplies would pressure wheat to $5.17 and soybeans to $9.29.

It expects milk, hog and poultry prices to fall this year as lower feed costs and record 2014 prices boost production. Cattle and beef supplies are tight, but prices will begin to decline next year as beef production starts to expand.

modified sunflower oil will steal market share or tarnish the image of the dominant prairie oilseed, says Rick White, chief executive officer of the Canadian Canola Growers Association.

Both were reacting to news that Cargill is now marketing a high oleic sunflower oil as a non-GM alternative to high oleic canola and soybean oil.

“Helping our customers succeed by providing them choices for ingredients is what drove the development of IngreVita HO Sun,” Kristine Sanschagrin, Cargill’s specialty oils manager, said in announcing the new product.

“Some of our customers choose to offer consumers non-GMO products, and this is one such option for those customers.”

High oleic vegetable oil is popular with food processors and restaurant chains because of its stability, which doesn’t exist at traditional levels of oleic acid.

Turning canola oil into a high oleic product allowed it to gain crucial market share for food providers who were suddenly able to offer both a healthy and stable oil in their products.

Soybeans have followed suit, and now sunflowers are too.

White said that shouldn’t hurt canola.

“Whether it’s sunflowers or soybeans, both are trying to emulate the healthy oil profile of canola,” he said.

“We take it as a compliment.… For consumers that’s good because the more consumers are aware of the healthy aspects of it.… I think the market is better off overall.”

Graham said sunflower growers will be happy to have a crop that can boost its already-healthy reputation among food providers.

“I think high oleic is definitely the way our industry is going to have to go to compete, especially with canola and soybeans,” said Graham.

Sunflowers’ non-GM status is a key advantage for the crop.

It has suffered at the hands of canola and other GM crops in recent years because the others have seen greater yields and profitability gains.

However, anti-GMO sentiment among some consumers means sunflowers could receive market compensation.

“It’ll always be a positive for the sunflower industry,” said Graham.

“Right now, we don’t expect that our sunflowers will ever be GMO. We’re a non-GMO crop and we’ll stay that way, so it definitely has its perks that way.”

Many canola growers are touchy about non-GM labelling because they feel that such claims imply that GM crops are in some way harmful or dangerous.

However, White said he isn’t too worried about that with this product.

“Marketing is marketing,” said White. “If consumers want that choice, it’s entirely up to them.”

He said it doesn’t matter whether it’s high oleic canola or non-GM sunflower oil, as long as consumers are being introduced to healthy oil. ed.white@producer.com

EGG PRODUCTION

Producers assess sustainability Alberta organization examines sector performance

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Egg Farmers of Alberta wants to narrow the great divide between producers and the millions of consumers who buy their products each year.

A sustainability strategy has been launched to assess the state of egg farming in the province. Egg farmers already follow mandatory food safety and animal welfare programs as part of their license to operate under supply management, but an overarching analysis of industry performance seemed more appropriate.

Instead of talking about sustainability among themselves, egg producers decided to introduce a program aimed at the public.

“This isn’t stuff industry has typically shared publicly and we didn’t know there would be an appetite for this type of information,” said egg farmers spokesperson David Webb.

Retailers and restaurants are watching producers’ performance, so Alberta decided to get ahead of the questions about sustainability before corporate demands were placed on them.

“We want to position our farmers so they can already be achieving those programs. We are trying to think longer term,” said Webb.

“We wanted to see where we are at and what we can do to improve.”

The egg industry has come under fire for raising laying hens in cages.

Undercover videos have shown negative aspects of the system and left the industry feeling defensive.

The Alberta industry passed a policy last year to prohibit the installation of new traditional cage housing on farms, although that decision was not related to activist pressure.

“Looking back 20 years ago, if farmers had been more proactive in getting out and being in the public and sharing their stories and talking about their farms, maybe some of this could have been avoided,” Webb said.

The organization worked with Alberta Agriculture and the Prasino Group to develop a holistic environmental and ecological approach.

Progress reports will be released each year.

Sustainability is a wide ranging concept, which includes taking care of the environment, being a good neighbour, providing safe food and keeping the farm economically viable for the next generation.

Economic sustainability and the benefit of supply management works together, he said.

“Because they know they have that stable income that is predictable, they are able to re-invest in their farm,” he said.

New people are also joining the egg business, including 30 last year.

“It is sustainable because we are bringing in new farmers, fresh blood into the industry with new ideas,” he said.

The assessment showed that 99 percent of farmers are meeting the requirements of the on-farm food safety program.

Egg farmers are also involved in the community by participating in class-

EGG FACTS The Egg Farmers of Alberta sustainability study reported: • Alberta’s 163 farms produce more than 49 million dozen eggs a year.

• Most farms still use conventional housing with 1.5 million birds.

• Enriched housing includes 162,294 birds.

• Furnished/enriched includes 109,486 birds.

• Free range and organic housing include 48,797 birds. room agriculture programs and at agriculture events where education displays are set up to show what happens on an ordinary farm.

Environmental care is also under the sustainability umbrella. Last year, the organization launched the country’s first producer environmental egg program called PEEP. Last year’s study assessed how farmers were managing energy, water and manure.

“The true benefit of this year was finding out what all the farms are doing,” he said.

“It really helps us give them feedback as to how they can improve on their farm to reduce their own carbon footprints.”

PEEP followed the environmental farm plan and focused on areas that were primarily related to the egg operation.

Jenna Griffin, an industry development officer for Egg Producers of Alberta, said the organization could see shortcomings and areas where farms were achieving well above expectations.

Farmers had to answer 10 questions analyzing waste disposal, water and energy use and manure management.

“We wanted to start small,” Griffin said. “That is something we learned with other programs. You really can’t throw the whole kit and kaboodle at producers at once.”

The survey results are included in the annual sustainability report. Next year’s assessment will include more questions so that farmers can continue to make improvements.

Egg Farmers of Alberta has started a program to look at food safety and animal welfare programs already in place and assess overall industry performance in those areas. | FILE PHOTO

WATER REQUIREMENTS

WATERING SYSTEMS

Watering systems require monitoring to ensure quality, maximum weight gain

Pumping water improves pastures

Systems must be de-iced and batteries on solar systems checked

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OLDS, Alta.— A good livestock watering system involves management, time and sometimes on-farm tinkering.

“There is nothing made yet that you can just walk away from and say, ‘see you next spring.’ These things require attention,” said Bill Cunningham of Promold Marketing of Crossfield, Alta.

His company manufactures and sells

sheds, feeders and water systems.

Water is like a major food group for cattle, Cunningham said at a ranchers’ seminar demonstrating watering systems in Olds Feb. 26.

Clean water helps them gain and keeps them healthy.

Cunningham said a 50 pound gain in one season is possible when calves drink from a trough of clean water rather than standing water.

Each system on the market has its merits, whether it relies on solar energy or cow power to pump water.

All will work in Canadian winter, but they all require monitoring to make sure ice buildups are cleared.

Producers who install a new system must consider vertical lift, water requirements and water recovery, which determine the size of the solar panel and battery bank that is required.

“It is not just the pump flow,” he said. “You have to have enough storage in your batteries to fill that trough.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

OLDS, Alta.— Cleaner drinking water and less erosion around creeks are obvious from the start when ranchers install new watering systems.

Ian Murray of Acme, Alta., installed off-site watering systems when he started Shoestring Ranch in 2007. He pumps water from a dugout during winter and started to see benefits right away, despite experiencing glitches as he adapted the solar powered system to his pastures.

He has watched cattle walk to the trough rather than stop at the creek, and it wasn’t long before local creek banks started to improve with new growth to keep banks stable, he said during a ranching seminar held in Olds Feb. 26.

He also calculated that he extended his grazing season by an extra month, which saved money on winter feed.

As well, he was able to open up 320 acres that had not been used for grazing in the past because he could now deliver water.

“I paid $7,600 for the system and it has paid for itself and it will last a long time,” he said.

Environmental benefits also appeared on Sean LaBrie’s Difficulty Ranch near Olds.

He uses a solar wet well and a portable solar water station to look after 125 cow-calf pairs. It is expandable to 200 pairs.

The local creek was fenced off, and the riparian area soon recovered.

The improvements have been discernible since he had a riparian assessment done in 2011 with the Cows and Fish Society.

For example, there are fewer thistles because the grass outcompetes the weeds, and bushes and willows are regrouping.

“We are starting to get some of the woody species back besides just grass in our pasture,” he said.

Growth in the zone is so prolific that the cows are turned in every couple years to graze it down and reduce fire hazards.

These systems can be expensive, but the Growing Forward program covered 50 percent of the cost because of the environmental benefit of removing livestock from water courses.

Animal health and safety has also improved. Cattle are no longer falling in the creek and dugout, and calves are healthier because they are not nursing from dirty udders.

“We have probably seen a reduction in younger sick calves,” he said.

Pastures are also better because he can move the water around. As well, he has extended his grazing period so that there is less winter feeding.

“Water options have allowed us to go from 12 paddocks to 33 paddocks,” he said.

“It has certainly increased our amount of grazing. We have more control but of course is more management intensive.”

EDMONTON — Everett McDonald, a northern Alberta MLA, has been appointed associate agriculture minister while agriculture minister Verlyn Olson recovers from diabetes treatment.

“Yesterday I underwent an islet cell transplant and am happy to report that I am doing well and resting,” Olson tweeted.

DID YOU KNOW? Manure and sediment muddies the water and can deposit fecal coliform bacteria and other micro-organisms such as cryptosporidium and giardia.

These micro-organisms are a threat to public health and can reduce weight gains and productivity in livestock.

One cow can add up to 500,000 fecal bacteria to a stream each day if allowed direct access to the water.

Water with 200 fecal bacteria per 100 millilitres is unhealthy for swimming and drinking water must have no fecal bacteria.

“We had lots of bugs at the start,” he said, mostly related to floats not working properly.

“It is management intensive in the front end. You have to pay attention and do your checks. You can’t just look out the window and say it is working because the cows are standing around.”

Cows stand around because they are thirsty, not because they are drinking, he said.

Mike Nichols went a different direction and installed nose pumps.

His decision to change the watering system came after his leg went through a hole in the dugout when he was chopping a hole in the ice during - 30 C weather.

“After using frost free nose pumps, I never slipped in the dugout again,” he said.

Nose pumps rely on cow power: the animal pushes on a wide lever to draw up water into a bowl.

Winter nose pumps are well insulated and do not freeze. There is no contamination because there is no back wash in the winter pumps. The water is pumped from a dugout.

He did not think the cows would learn, but they quickly caught on and calves learned from their mothers.

“It was like a toy for them,” he said.

He too has been able to extend his grazing days and noticed the water in the dugout improved because cattle were not wading in and breaking down the banks.

There is less foot rot and no muddy udders. As well, there are no batteries to maintain or solar panels to be stolen or shot at.

“I have no proof, but I know these pumps have saved me time and money,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

SASKATCHEWAN BUDGET — REVENUE SHARING

SASKATCHEWAN BUDGET — SPENDING CUTS

RMs pleased with revenue allocation, no tax hike

Budget focuses on infrastructure

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Changes to the education funding split between the Saskatchewan government and property owners are coming, but not just yet.

The government had signaled to rural municipal leaders that the education property tax was on the table as it prepared for a tough 2015-16 budget.

“The premier stated and I’ve stated that everything is on the table, and I can tell you it sure was,” said finance minister Ken Krawetz before tabling his March 18 budget.

“We were talking about a number of tax increases.”

However, he said the government decided to stick with its decision to cut operating costs as much as possible and ensure taxes remain low.

It didn’t bring in either an education tax increase or a cut to municipalities’ revenue sharing, which is funded by the provincial sales tax.

Premier Brad Wall said the government’s goal has always been to change the funding ratio from 60 percent property owner and 40 percent government, as it was under the previous NDP government.

That led to tax revolts within rural municipalities and complaints from farmers who said they paid far more than their share.

“But we’re beyond that now,” Wall said after the budget speech.

“We’re at 65 percent coming from the government, 35 percent coming from property owners. So we did look at adjusting it and we’re going to have to look at that long term.”

Wall was adamant the ratio will never go back to where property tax funds more than 40 percent of education.

“We may even have to put that in a law,” he said.

Work will begin right away on how to rebalance education funding, he added. He suggested a legislative secretary could be appointed to examine the issue and consult stakeholders such as farm groups and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.

Representatives from these groups lauded the budget for maintaining the status quo on education tax.

“We knew it was going to be a tough budget,” said Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan.

“What we did ask for was no tax increases, especially in the education portion of the property tax.”

Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Doug Gillespie and Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association vice-chair Ryan Beierbach echoed those comments.

“I think we have to be pretty pleased for the tough times,” Gillespie said.

SARM president Ray Orb said he was more worried about whether municipalities would continue to receive their one percent of PST revenue.

However, municipalities will share a record $265.3 million, up $8.3 million from the previous year, because the allocation is based on the previous year’s tax revenue.

Rural municipalities will receive $74.95 million of that total.

Orb said the increase will help take the sting out of a $9.5 million, or 38 percent, cut to the Municipal Roads

for the Economy Program. It is set at $16 million for 2015-16.

The program funds primary weight corridors and bridge infrastructure, which help move products to market.

“We have about a $4.5 million carryover, so we’ll still have about $20.5 million to work with,” Orb said.

“Although we’re a little bit disappointed, we still feel it’s workable.”

SARM had lobbied for a two-year agreement so that RMs could plan and complete projects during the short construction season.

It will maintain that effort, he added. karen.briere@producer.com

$1.3 billlion will be spent on schools, health-care facilities and road building

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan residents who had braced themselves for increased taxes and significant spending cuts were likely relieved when finance minister Ken Krawetz tabled the 2015-16 budget last week.

However, some will pay more for items such as medication, and potash companies will contribute more to government coffers.

The government had been signaling a tough budget for months because of sinking oil prices, which have cut revenue by $661 million. It

floated the ideas of increasing the education portion of property tax and cutting transfers to municipalities.

However, Krawetz instead announced neither of those would change this fiscal year.

The budget plans for a small surplus of $107 million on revenues of $14.28 billion and expenses of $14.17 billion.

Both of those figures are up 1.2 percent over the previous year.

Health, education and social services spending will take three quarters of the budget, Krawetz said.

The increase in those areas is just less than two percent, while all other gov-

Key changes in government programs include converting the graduate retention tuition rebate program to 10 years from seven and no longer providing any excess over taxes payable as a refund.

Instead, it will be carried forward and applied to the following year’s taxes.

Farm officials relieved cuts not worse

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Sa s k at c h e w a n f a r m l e a d e r s accepted a 2.5 percent cut to the provincial agriculture budget last week, saying they understand the fiscal pressure of low oil prices.

The March 18 budget estimates agricultural spending of $362.4 million in 2015-16, down from $371.6 million last year.

“Glad to see there was no tax increases, and a 2.5 percent cut in ag is acceptable,” said Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall.

“It was mostly in the non-(business risk management) portion of GF2,

and it’s just the way things ramp up and come back down, so basically a flat budget.”

The Growing Forward 2 programs also include spending on areas such as farm stewardship and mentorship programs.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the cut shouldn’t affect farmers.

“There is minimal impact on our programs and more importantly on our clients,” he said.

“We will be offering the same programs and the same or better coverage.”

Growing Forward 2 spending is pegged at $71.2 million. The federal and provincial governments will spend $388 million over five years.

The province has allocated $800,000 to support industry agriculture awareness campaigns, and Stewart said the improved perception of agriculture is one of his priorities.

“We believe that one of the biggest threats to our growth won’t be lack of investment or the loss of resources but not having the ability to use the tools and techniques we currently have available to us or losing social licence,” he said.

Stewart said Saskatchewan was founded on agriculture, and it continues to be a key economic driver, contributing 10 percent to the gross domestic product and employing 50,000 people.

The business risk management portion of Growing Forward 2, which includes AgriStability, AgriInvest and crop and livestock insurance, is fully funded at $240 million, based on federal estimates.

Among the budget cuts was a oneyear suspension of the gopher control program rebate after little use last year. Only $17,771 of an available $175,000 was paid out.

Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities president Ray Orb said that’s because of the recent wetter climate.

“As the wetter years have come back, the gopher problem isn’t quite as bad, so it’s not as much an issue as it would have been five or six years ago,” he said.

As well, the program to help municipalities repair bridges over irrigation works has been cut in half. Stewart said the province budgeted $1 million for each of the last two years but never spent more than $500,000.

Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association vice-chair Ryan Beierbach said he didn’t expect any new programs but was glad there weren’t major cuts.

“We know that revenues are tough on the oil side, so we’re happy that they kept the education property tax the same and it’s good to see that our programs are still supported,” he said. “We’re not looking for financial support, we just want the right kind of environment to keep doing what we’re doing.”

Both he and Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association president Doug Gillespie said the addition of livestock price insurance to the business risk management programs has been welcome.

Meanwhile, the budget did not contain money for a large-scale water supply project such as the long-anticipated Qu’Appelle South initiative, which would provide water to the Regina-Moose Jaw corridor and allow for 111,000 acres of irrigation.

“When it’s announced, it’ll be a big deal and this probably isn’t the year to be announcing very expensive new projects,” Stewart said.

An announcement is coming shortly about a replacement for the Saskatchewan SPCA’s rural animal protection service.

The budget includes $630,000 to pay for that service, up $80,000 from the amount the SPCA received last year.

Stewart said he believed the new company would hire the SPC A employees who worked in animal protection. karen.briere@producer.com

URBANIZATION

FORAGE OUTLOOK

Water management needed to abate socioeconomic collapse: UN Forage seed prices may spark interest LONDON, U.K. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — The planet faces a 40 percent shortfall in water supplies in 15 years because of urbanization, population growth and increased demand, says the United Nations.

Competition for water means better management is essential to ensure everybody gets what they need, said the World Water Development Report.

With “business as usual,” the world is facing a “collapse in our global socioeconomic system,” said Richard Connor, lead author of the report.

Two- thirds of the world’s population will be living in cities by 2050, and demand for water is expected to increase by 55 percent, mainly from demands related to growing urban-

ization in developing countries.

Urbanization means that access to safe water and adequate sanitation has decreased in the fastest growing urban areas.

One example is sub-Saharan Africa, where urbanization is happening most rapidly and often unplanned.

The proportion of people who have piped water on their premises has fallen to 34 percent from 42 percent since 1990.

“The spontaneous urbanization, which creates slums, makes it very difficult because of the layout of the slums to provide water,” said Joan Clos, executive director of the UN’s Human Settlements Programme.

“Once you have a street, then for the water operator it becomes very easy

to reach the plots.”

The world will have to produce 60 percent more food by 2050, and the global water demand for industry is predicted to increase by 400 percent, said the report.

Demand versus supply

The growing population will also need 70 percent more energy, and water is required to produce almost all forms of it. “ You have to manage water. If you’re using less water because of your proper irrigation and soil management in agriculture, that allows more water to be available for other users,” Connor said.

“Every sector has to pitch in and do

its best to be water efficient.”

Investing in sustainable water management is costly, but it pays off.

The report said $15 to $30 billion invested in improved water resources management in developing countries can have an annual income return of $60 billion.

“Over the long term, investing in water and sanitation is cost-effective,” Connor said.

“That is the convincing argument that it’s not just to help the poor, it’s actually good business.”

He said cities with long-term water plans will have more robust economies within decades because people who have access to clean water are healthier and have a better chance of becoming educated and finding jobs.

SPRING OIL SALE ON NOW! www.coopag.ca

With cereal prices down, forage acres may go up

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — High prices for forage seed are great news for seed producers, but as is often the case at such times, supply is limited for many varieties.

“I would say overall, I can’t think of anything that would have a low price in comparison to an average,” said Forage Seed Canada president Heather Kerschbaumer.

“We’re probably at least double average prices, if not three times average prices right now. I would think anybody that has forage seed acres in the ground should be happy because prices should be still strong for this year.”

Kerschbaumer said higher prices for grains and oilseeds in the past several years drew many acres away from forage seed production. Rotations that would normally include forages were ignored in favour of shorter-term profit.

It takes two to three years to reap good forage seed yields after planting, so acres depend on grower confidence in future market strength.

However, Kerschbaumer told those at the Alberta Forage Industry Network meeting March 12 that the outlook is good.

“I think this spring we will see more acres go back in the ground,” she said. “That would be my gut feeling, just because cereal prices aren’t what they were and canola prices aren’t what they were and now there will be incentive for people to actually put grass seed back in and leave it in.”

High cattle prices also favour the forage seed market as producers seek to rejuvenate old pasture or plant new forage stands.

Kerschbaumer said in her presentation that crested wheatgrass seed exports of more than 2.3 million pounds were the highest in more than five years in 2014. A shortage of seed is likely this year.

Prices are also high for timothy seed. Yields were average last year, and much of the seed production is contracted, said Kerschbaumer.

Fewer acres seeded to meadow bromegrass have resulted in lower seed inventories. Those wanting seed are advised to place orders early.

Acres for smooth bromegrass production are also down, and even high prices for seed haven’t lured growers back into production, Kerschbaumer said. There is virtually no carryover seed ,so only new crop will be available this spring.

Alfalfa saw a large increase in contracted acres, most of them in Manitoba and southern Alberta. Clover seed is in very short supply, particularly sweet clover and red clover.

“I don’t remember sweet clover (prices) ever being this high,” said Kerschbaumer.

Red clover has been drastically affected by damage from case bearer moths, to the point where growers can get only one crop of seed. That has limited interest in growing it. barb.glen@producer.com

MENTAL HEALTH

T-shirt campaign supports farm families under stress Funds raised by HereForFarmers will be used to operate a farm stress line to provide counselling and referral services

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A crowd sourcing campaign is raising money and awareness for the plight of farmers living with mental illness — one T-shirt at a time.

“Our campaign is aimed at bringing awareness to the stress that farmers undergo every year and how it affects their mental health,” said Kim Keller, co-founder of Farm At Hand.

The Vancouver company developed a farm management tool that is free to farmers and available as a smartphone and tablet app and on the web.

Keller said the rate of farmer suicides is staggering while the topic of mental health remains mostly silent within rural communities. She said suicide rates among farmers are the highest in comparison to other professions.

“In the United Kingdom, one farmer commits suicide every week, France it’s once every two days and in North America the suicide rate is almost twice that of the general population,” said Keller.

The HereForFarmers crowd-funding campaign launched Feb. 19 on Indiegogo and will run until April 5.

T-shirts cost $22 and are available in three themes: steak, beer and bread.

The original goal was to raise $6,500 in T-shirt sales so that $1,500 could be donated to a farm stress line operated by Mobile Crisis after material and

shipping costs and other fees. However, the campaign has already raised almost $9,000.

“We want to keep the momentum and awareness going,” said Keller.

Corporate sponsors include FBC, a tax advisory company, which has bought 50 shirts and will be donating $2 per T-shirt up to a maximum of $1000. Redhead Equipment and FarmLink Marketing Solutions are also buying a minimum of 50 shirts.

Keller said she knows first-hand how stress can affect farmers, the family and community.

She grew up on a farm in northeast-

ern Saskatchewan and returns each year to help her parents and brother with seeding and harvest.

She remembers watching helplessly during the big windstorm of 2012, which blew canola swaths off many prairie fields and into nearby ditches and sloughs.

“You’ve put all of your money, all your time in that crop and in the matter of 12 hours it’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to stop it and your thinking, ‘how am I going to pay these bills, how am I going to farm next year, what am I going to do,’ ” she said.

“You see a hailstorm come through in July or August and wipe out the crop. It’s mentally and emotionally taxing and financially devastating to see that happen and watch your family go through it, or even go through it myself.”

Keller said she hopes the campaign will raise awareness of farm stress.

“We’re trying to educate the public about, ‘this is what your farmer is going through every day to get food unto your plate,’ ” she said.

“It’s OK to talk about farm anxiety, depression and anything else that might be affecting farmers’ mental

health and that there are resources out there to help them, like the farm stress line.”

She also wants to help Mobile Crisis, a non-profit agency that provides crisis intervention through a confidential phone line. Professionals trained on how to deal with mental health issues provide farmers with counseling, support, information and referral services.

The number is 800-667-4442.

BEEF EXPORTS

Beef sneaks into China despite ban, says U.S. CHICAGO/WASHINGTON D.C. (Reuters) — “Huge amounts” of American beef are bypassing China’s import bans, a top U.S. trade official said last week, even as the Chinese government cracks down on agricultural smuggling.

The meat enters through Hong Kong, deputy U.S. trade representative Robert Holleyman said.

U.S. beef is currently barred from mainland China because of previous cases of BSE. U.S. trade officials have been trying to get China to lift the ban, but with little success.

Holleyman said U.S. officials had told their Chinese counterparts: “You need an agreement like Hong Kong. And that’s what we have been negotiating.”

Trade officials said it’s not known how much U.S. beef is being transshipped through Hong Kong into China, but the volume that comes in from the United States is more than all the beef consumed in Hong Kong.

The U.S. expor ted more than 154,500 tonnes of beef and beef products to Hong Kong last year, up nearly 19 percent over the previous year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Industry sources estimated last year that hundreds of thousands of tonnes of beef from countries such as Brazil and India are smuggled into China through Hong Kong and Vietnam.

DROUGHT, FLOOD FUNDING The Alberta Federation of Agriculture has received $1.3 million in federal funding to develop a new simulation model to predict the effects of overland flooding and drought.

Simulation hydrologic models and maps could also help predict the likelihood and impact of future water patterns. The data collected could better predict the risk of flooding, which eventually could aid in creating new overland flooding insurance products for producers.

One possible scenario would use the simulation to predict cases in which excess moisture occurs on land unable to absorb or safely divert water away from at risk areas. The model could also be transferred to benefit urban areas that have water-related issues.

The funding came from the AgriRisk initiative.

FOOD SAFETY

Latest BSE case closed export door for producer A beef deal that a Saskatchewan cattle farmer had negotiated came to an end when China stopped buying from Canada

BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

Canada’s most recent BSE case had immediate consequences for one cattle producer from Yorkton, Sask.

The country’s 19th case, which was discovered last month, prompted China to close its borders to Canadian beef days before Blaine Buckle was to sign a contract to export beef directly to China, where it would have been distributed through a partnership arrangement to highend restaurants and import stores.

“The timing was horrible,” said Buckle.

He said the Canadian Food Inspection Agency sometimes comes under fire for how it has handled BSE, but the issue is not how the disease is handled in Canada but how other countries react to an outbreak.

“I think they’ve (the CFIA) done a stellar job,” he said, adding the agency is part of the reason why beef exports to China had returned.

Buckle said the processes now in place in Canada do what they are designed to do.

“It is disappointing to have a world class food safety program being able to detect an animal before it enters the food chain and then it seems like we as a country can get penalized for it,” he said.

The question now is how long China might keep its borders closed.

Buckle said he will likely abandon his plans if it drags on. “ They’re saying three or four months, but it could be years.”

Buckle said it will not be easy to turn away from the potential he sees for Canadian beef in China because even if three percent of white collar Chinese “ate one pound of Canadian beef in a year, it would take one very large packing plant to supply it.”

Buckle said the deal he was working on came about after several years of effort.

“Five years ago I had the opportunity to go to China,” he said, and learned through a family contact of “an opportunity in the agriculture sector.”

The opportunity took time to get rolling.

“A couple of years later we did a pilot project to feed a few cattle in northern China,” he said.

“We sent some equipment (including a feed mixer) over there and fed 100 head of cattle.”

The feeder animals were Simmental-influence, and while not of Canadian quality, they were not bad cattle.

The trial was intended to see what a Canadian system might do in terms of feeding Chinese cattle.

“We treated them as if we were in North America,” he said.

The area of China in which he was working had weather similar to southern South Dakota.

Results were positive.

“The gains and conversion were not as good as here, but they were comparable,” he said.

However, when it came to selling the animals, Buckle said he quickly learned that having the cattle there with few options left him exposed, and in the end his expected returns vanished.

“A contract wasn’t worth the paper it was written on,” he said.

But then another opportunity arose.

“Six months after that the border opened. Canadian beef was going back into China,” said Buckle. “ We s t a r t e d t o f o c u s o n t h a t because we thought we had some contacts there.”

Last year, he shipped Canadian beef to China.

“We were the first company to legally export (Canadian) beef into mainland China.”

The initial shipment was two containers of beef, which Buckle said was “the equivalent of about 100 head of fat cattle.”

The beef was shipped frozen, bone-

less and in primal cuts and then further processed into strips, cubes and other vacuumed packed sizes to meet consumer demand.

All the meat is lab tested to CFIA standards and Chinese requirements.

The beef was sourced in Ontario because the province has a packing plant licensed to ship to China. However, he said he would like to work toward a licensed facility in Saskatchewan if the market was secure so that western Canadian beef could be shipped.

Buckle said it was a difficult process, but they did the market research

ahead of time to make sure they would not lose too much money if issues arose.

Buckle said Saskatchewan’s oneperson trade office in Shanghai helped with the research, as did Canada Beef Inc. The marketing plan included seeking out a wholesale partner.

“We focused on one wholesaler who was putting a lot of time and effort into branding the product,” he said.

The beef is packaged in red labels, which show it as a Canadian product.

He said that is important because the Chinese look at Canada as a source of

high quality products.

And the connections worked.

“Between last fall and now our confidence level kept going up,” he said.

“They were moving our product.”

The entire beef carcass is cut into tiny cubes and strips so that they can used in dishes such as hot pots.

“It’s the ideal way to market beef,” he said, because it makes the entire animal valuable.

“There are no roasts, or steaks.”

Buckle said there were still challenges but the future looked bright.

Then the BSE case was announced and the border closed.

The complete solution. Grass and broadleaf weed control for wheat and barley, no tank mixing required.

LAND USE REGULATIONS

INVASIVE SPECIES

Views on what constitutes ugly farmyard sought Alberta county wants acreage residents’ opinions on what they consider unsightly to help design landowner use rules

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An Alberta county wants to know if shipping containers and plastic covered shelters should be allowed on farms, acreages and lake communities.

It is just one of the questions Camrose County is asking its residents as part of a land use bylaw and municipal development plan review.

“In the eyes of some people, they are not appropriate for an acreage setting,” said reeve Don Gregorwich.

Complaints about unsightly farmyards and acreages will fall on deaf ears without rules and guidelines for county officials to follow.

“If you don’t have rules set in law, then landowners can tell you that you are infringing on their personal freedom,” Gregorwich said.

“We’re not trying to be overzealous.

We just need some direction. We want an idea of what our residents think about this.”

The survey is part of a review of the county’s land use bylaws and municipal development plan to guide future county development.

In the last five years, shipping containers and inexpensive plastic sheds have popped up on prairie farmyards

like mushrooms after a rain.

Gregorwich said officials can do little to restrict the buildings’ spread without a land use bylaw regulating their size, height and location.

“You have to have a standard to make a decision,” he said.

Land use regulations already create double standards. An auto wrecking business in the county must be hidden behind fences and away from the road, while a farmyard can have hundreds of wrecked cars and old tractors within view of the road.

“Some farmyards have 20 acres of good farmland filled with old equipment with grass growing around them and trees growing through them,” he said. “Never will the equipment be used again.”

Gregorwich recently hired a scrap metal dealer to haul away an old drill parked in the bush.

“We do see signs of change. Some of the scrap metal guys are reclaiming some of the old yard sites.”

Gregorwich said some people have suggested that clean yards should be rewarded with lower taxes.

“That is an interesting suggestion, but I am not sure how practical it would be.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

Alberta researcher urges ban on Russian olive tree The trees are considered a noxious weed in some U.S. states

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — The Russian olive should be banned from Alberta before it becomes an invasive species, clogging rivers and choking out native trees and fish, says an Agriculture Canada research assistant.

Governments across North America once promoted the beautiful silver-leafed tree as an ideal shelter belt and ornamental tree for dry areas, but it is now considered a weed that should be banned.

“I think it is the beginning of the invasion and could potentially get worse,” Liana Collette said during the Alberta Invasive Species Council conference.

“I think it is a serious issue. Right now, people don’t see it on their radar.”

The Russian olive was originally imported from Europe in the 1800s by homesick settlers. It was one of the few trees that thrived in poor soil and dry conditions.

The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration distributed more than one million Russian olive trees

across the Prairies between 1948 and 2002, mostly in Saskatchewan, as part of its shelter belt program.

Collette doesn’t know how many of those trees are still alive, but they are the source for the naturalized Russian olive trees that are taking over wetlands and riparian areas.

Russian olive trees are considered noxious weeds in California and New Mexico and are banned in Connecticut.

Little research has been done on the invasiveness of Russian olives on the Prairies, but pockets of the trees a re c re a t i n g p ro b l e m s i n t h e Lethbridge, Taber and Brooks area of Alberta, along the Okanagan region in British Columbia, near Moose Jaw and Belle Plaine in Saskatchewan and throughout the greater Toronto area.

“We’re just seeing the beginning of the invasion,” she said.

Russian olive is on Jason Bullock’s radar. The agriculture fieldman for the Municipal District of Taber said the trees are slowly spreading across the municipality into roadside ditches, irrigation ditches and coulees.

“The biggest problem is in the irrigation ditches,” Bullock said.

The municipality cuts down trees that are growing in ditches but has no jurisdiction to do so on private property and under power lines or fences.

“It’s a great tree for this area, but after the birds and the deer spread the seeds, it’s become a fairly significant nuisance,” said Bullock.

“It’s not a problem in our area yet, but I could see in another 10 or 15 years it could become a serious issue.”

The trees’ suckering root system allows them to regrow after they’re cut down, especially in moist, shady areas.

A lack of natural controls means they have started to push out native cottonwood trees along streams and rivers.

Rivers in heavily infested areas will slowly dry up as the trees suck up moisture and spread their roots. The leaves are high in nitrogen and add to the nitrogen loading of streams when they fall into the river.

China puts rein on ag inputs to slow ecological damage BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China is targeting zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides by 2020 to avoid further contamination of its farmland.

Wide use of chemical fertilizers, of which China is the biggest consumer, has boosted its agricultural output and kept the world’s most populous country largely self-sufficient in grains, but it has also threatened food safety.

“Overuse of chemical fertilizer has increased costs and damaged the agriculture ecological environment,” said Zeng Yande, a department director with the agriculture ministry.

China accounts for a little more than a fifth of the world’s total grain output, while its use of chemical fertilizer is more than a third of global

consumption and equivalent to the total use by the United States and India combined.

Annual growth in the use of chemical fertilizers will be capped below one percent from 2015-19, it added, with no growth slated for 2020.

China’s use of chemical fertilizer grew by an average 5.2 percent a year over the past three decades, reaching 59 million tonnes in 2013, the news agency said. Its use versus output is 2.6 times that of the United States and 2.5 times that of the European Union, it said.

Zhang Fusuo, a professor at the China Agricultural University, said overuse of fertilizer is the main reason for soil acidification in China.

The country will use more organic fertilizer, currently not fully utilized, to help boost grain output, said Zeng.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Cottonwood trees need the natural flooding of riverbanks to grow and thrive. They have started to decline on rivers where dams control water flow, which has allowed Russian olives to take over.

The number of cottonwood trees downstream from the St. Mary Dam in southern Alberta has already declined, and Russian olive trees have crept in.

Russian olive leaves in the Okanagan Valley have become food for common carp, an invasive fish, while some birds in the United States are on the list of threatened species as the Russian olive replaces their native trees.

Bob Battiste, former director of the Alberta Invasive Plants Council, started to notice the spread of Russian olive trees about five years ago, especially in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan and parts of Toronto.

The trees have taken over coulees and wetlands east of Moose Jaw,

Sask., and east of the Trans-Canada Highway overpass near Belle Plaine, Sask.

“They were probably planted by the government shelter belt system years ago, but they have almost filled the whole area of marsh,” said Battiste.

“I think it is a real concern.”

Collette said Russian olive trees require ideal conditions to thrive and naturalize.

“If the conditions are right, if the temperature is right and within one kilometre of a water body, that is the prime range for it to become an invasive species,” she said.

The trees are not considered a weed or an invasive plant and are still sold in greenhouses and nurseries as a showy landscape plant.

“These are outstanding trees,” Battiste said.

“If you go into a tree nursery and see a nice Russian olive, people just go gaga over it. They love it and take it home and plant it, but sooner or later it will be a problem.”

%8,/',1* <285 *(7$:$< +$6 1(9(5 %((1 ($6,(5

He said the nursery industry needs to develop a replacement for the silver-leafed plant.

“It is a real problem for the landscape industry in Saskatchewan and Alberta because they don’t have any good alternatives for a nice silver colour.”

Collette said banning the sale of Russian olive would start with awareness of the problem and the development of an alternative tree.

“I don’t think we can convince people to give up their Russian olives.

People are very attached to their plants and trees because it beautifies their property,” she said.

“In the U.S., they were told by government to plant all these trees. Now they’re told by the government to cut them all down and they’re not happy.”

Researchers in some parts of the United States are developing mites and moths to eat the trees’ flowers and seedlings, to prevent their spread, but not harm the tree. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Poor farmers bear heavy burden from increased frequency of natural disasters ROME, Italy (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Economic losses caused by natural disasters have tripled over the past decade, with farmers bearing nearly a quarter of the burden in poor countries, says a United Nations study.

Floods, droughts, storms and other natural disasters cost the agricultural sector in developing countries US$70

billion in damages between 2003 and 2013, said the study by the Food and Agriculture Organization.

Asia was the worst affected region with $28 billion in losses, followed by Africa’s $26 billion, said the study, which analyzed data from 78 disasters in 48 developing countries.

The new study showed that agriculture shouldered 22 percent of the

total losses, leading FAO officials to call for more support for farmers in the face of crisis. Only 4.5 percent of post-disaster humanitarian aid between 2003 and 2013 targeted agriculture, the study said.

Globally, 2.5 billion people make a living from agriculture. Small-scale farmers, herders and fishing communities are particularly vulnerable

Countries need to “enhance preparedness to respond quickly when disasters occur” to protect farmers, FAO director-general José Graziano da Silva said.

A cyclone tore through the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu March 14-15, causing widespread destruction in a country ranked as the

most vulnerable to natural disasters.

Many observers link the rising rate and intensity of the losses stemming from natural disasters to climate change.

Early warning systems, better food production techniques and better information gathering to identify and respond to disasters could help reduce the burden these crises put on farmers, the study said.

Extending rotations is still the best way to combat a virulent root rot disease that is taking its toll on pea and lentil crops, says a pulse crop expert.

Sabine Banniza, a pathologist with the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, said there are no effective seed treatments or fungicides for dealing with aphanomyces.

Growers have to rely on agronomic practices for combating the disease, and lengthening rotations is at the top of the list.

Research from France, where pea growers have been wrestling with the disease for a decade, suggests rotations should be stretched out to six or eight years between susceptible host crops on fields where there are high levels of the disease in the soil.

Susceptible hosts include peas, lentils and some alfalfa crops.

Growers intent on keeping a pulse crop in the rotation might want to consider fababeans, soybeans or chickpeas, which all demonstrate good resistance to the disease.

“I realize lentil and pea prices have been quite good whereas chickpea prices haven’t, so there are definitely economic reasons why a producer may not choose to grow (chickpeas),” Banniza said during an hour-long webinar on root rot organized by Saskatchewan Agriculture.

“But I think you have to think about the long-term sustainability of your fields in terms of lentil and pea production.”

Chickpeas can be grown in the brown and dark brown soil zones.

Modern varieties have much improved resistance to ascochyta blight than ones from 10 years ago.

Fababeans are a new pulse crop option for the Prairies. They grow well in wet soil and have good resistance to aphanomyces. They are sensitive to foliar diseases such as aschochyta blight, botrytis and anthracnose ,but there are seed treatments for those diseases.

Soybeans also perform nicely in wet conditions and there are well developed markets for the crop, but they can be grown only in areas with plenty of heat units.

Crop Development Centre breeders who are trying to incorporate resistance into pea lines are looking to France and the United States, where researchers have been screening varieties for 10 years.

The centre has access to U.S. varieties that have shown far better resistance than Canadian peas.

“The French have selected some lines as well, but they’re not yet really willing to share them with us until they have released their first varieties to farmers.”

She thinks aphanomyces resistant lines could be on the market in Western Canada within three or four years.

There is evidence from European research that growing brassica species or oats can decrease aphanomy-

ces levels in the soil.

The glucosinulates in the brassica plants and other anti-microbial properties in oats decrease root rot populations.

Unfortunately, that rules out canola, which is low in glucosinulates.

Banniza said the European research was based on green manure crops, which are worked into the soil when the anti-microbial chemicals are at their peak. Anti-microbial activity also lasts longer in Europe because of climatic differences.

“It is still something we should probably explore here in Western Canada as well, as it may help contribute to controlling aphanomyces root rot,” she said.

Growing peas and lentils on lighter soil with good drainage is another good agronomic practice because aphanomyces thrives in wet and compacted soils. It is why the disease has become so prevalent after five consecutive years of soggy springs.

Farmers will also want to assess their soil nutrient situation. Fields may be low in nitrogen if the previous crop was a bumper crop, if the fall was dry or if the spring was cold and wet.

Pulses fix their own nitrogen, but they need a little nitrogen in the soil in spring to get going or the seedlings will be stressed and vulnerable to attack from root rot.

Banniza said there should be 15 pounds per acre of available nitrogen.

“If your soil doesn’t have that, maybe it’s good to make sure it gets it through fertilizer,” she said.

Growers in infected areas should use good quality seed with high germination levels and a limited amount of cracked seeds.

“Cracks are usually the open door for a pathogen,” she said.

As well, seed treatments are a must because they will kill root rot pathogens other than aphanomyces.

Banniza said some farmers have the mistaken belief that apanomyces is only a pea disease, but lentils are equally susceptible.

The disease was found in 53 percent of the pea samples and 57 percent of the lentil samples analyzed by the Saskatchewan Agriculture Crop Protection Lab last year.

It has been discovered in pea and lentil fields across Saskatchewan, where it has caused significant yield losses.

“We know it’s very, very widespread,” Banniza said. “That suggests to us it has probably been in the province for quite a while.”

Marlene Boersch, managing partner of Mercantile Consulting Venture, is forecasting a minimum 10 percent increase in pea acres and 13 percent hike in lentils this year.

Banniza said pea and lentil prices are attractive, and growers in areas where root rot hasn’t been too bad will likely increase plantings.

However, farmers in heavily infested areas may be forced to consider alternatives. sean.pratt@producer.com

PASTURE CONFERENCE

If you can’t beat it, graze it, says producer Knapweed provides excellent nutrition, says veterinarian

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

ELMWOOD, Ont. — An Ontario cattle producer is using management rather than eradication to control knapweed.

“It has excellent nutrition,” Dr. Peter Kotzeff told the Profitable Pastures Conference and Trade Show March 17.

The trick is to keep the noxious plant species from bolting, at which point it become unpalatable.

Kotzeff said knapweed can provide a substantial amount of forage from around mid-May into August in Bruce and Grey counties, which is traditional cattle country in Ontario.

“If cattle will eat it, it’s not a weed,” said Kotzeff, the 2015 recipient of the Ontario Pasture Award sponsored by Beef Farmers of Ontario, the Ontario Forage Council and Mapleseed.

“It’s something you need to manage. It’s almost impossible to kill. It only works if you have intensive grazing. You have to keep it in a vegetative state.”

The strategy also helps makes room for more desired pasture species such as clover and trefoil.

Kotzeff, who also maintains a largeanimal practice in Grey and Bruce counties, said he likes trying new things, which may explain why he moved from his birthplace, Toronto, to Bruce County in the late 1970s.

Last fall, he aerial-seeded oats and

Knapweed can provide an abundance of forage but it becomes unpalatable after bolting. | cereal rye onto 200 acres of soybeans in mid-September as a cover crop.

“It (the rye) looked so nice coming up I thought I would try grazing 100 acres of it,” he said.

“Grazing cover crops and residues is a great way to improve soil health.”

Kotzeff wants to seed the field with a fast-growing, mixed-species crop after the cattle have grazed the rye.

That cover crop would also be grazed.

He intends to maintain permanent

pasture on his 1,850 acres of agricultural property, but he is also looking to build a wider rotation using a variety of forages, row crops and cover crops.

“My goal this year is to have everything green in the fall,” he said.

Buying calves at the bottom end of the condition scale is another less than usual practice for Kotzeff.

“They are high risk, but there can also be high reward, and I am a

veterinarian.”

The calves receive a five-way vaccine and are de-wormed, if necessary, when they arrive in late winter or early spring. They’re typically placed in a sheltered holding paddock and provided with feed pellets and hay.

It’s critical that the calves understand where they can access water, Kotzeff said. He pastured 339 yearling steers and 69 cow-calf pairs last year.

The cows need to be able to fend for themselves. If not, they’re culled.

Kotzeff makes calving ease a priority when selecting bulls.

A sheltered area is used for calving with hay rolled out for the cows. His goal is to complete calving by the end of May. Calving pasture areas may be cut up in places, but Kotzeff said the quality of the pastures has improved over time. They’re only lightly grazed later in the year.

The calves, which have had access to creep feed over the summer, are fall weaned. Cows and calves are moved into a barn with only the calves having outside access.

Last year he moved the cows to pasture Oct. 8, when all the calves were outside. It took almost a day before the calves realized their mothers were missing, he added.

“There was a little bit of bawling, but they were not unduly stressed.

They were in a familiar setting.”

Kotzeff ’s intensive grazing management uses permanent perimeter fencing and semi-permanent and temporary fencing.

Cattle are fenced from the river and woodlots. Riparian areas along the Saugeen River and temporar y streams are grazed only lightly.

AGRONOMY WORKSHOP

Resistant varieties, fungicides best tools against fusarium Much of the Canada Western Red Spring wheat is rated as poor or very poor for disease resistance

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie wheat growers who are hoping to reduce losses caused by fusarium head blight should start with a critical assessment of the varieties they’re growing.

Marcia McMullen, a cereal pathologist with North Dakota State University, said farmers can avoid yield losses and costly grade discounts by anticipating periods of heightened fusarium risk and managing the risk properly.

The first step is proper varietal selection.

“One of the primary management strategies that our producers in North Dakota use is … choice of resistant varieties,” said McMullen, a guest presenter at a Soils and Crops Agronomy Workshop held March 17 in Saskatoon.

“We have developed some good hard red spring wheats with what we call moderate resistance — I think in Canada you might call it good resistance — and we have wide acceptance of those in areas of high risk for the disease,” she said.

“Fungicides are also important, but even fungicides used on susceptible varieties probably won’t give ade-

quate management.”

The area affected by fusarium head blight in Western Canada has been widening.

Abundant rain, saturated soil and high humidity during and immediately preceding flowering have boosted infection levels across the West.

By some estimates, as much as two million tonnes of wheat and durum were graded as salvage last year because of high levels of fusarium damaged kernels and fusarium related mycotoxins, either DON or vomotoxin.

Salvage grain is not legal for sale and has no value.

McMullen said managing fusarium effectively can be a challenge, especially in areas that are not typically affected by the disease.

New cereal varieties with improved fusarium resistance are coming online in Canada, but adoption of new varieties often occurs gradually.

Uptake usually occurs in years after the disease has taken a significant toll on production and marketing efforts.

“If farmers are consistently … impacted by the disease, then they’re naturally more interested in choosing the best, most resistant varieties.”

According to data from the Cana-

In addition to letting farmers know when the risk is high, we also try very hard to let producers know when there is no risk.

We want them to save their money, too.

MARCIA MCMULLEN CEREAL PATHOLOGIST

dian Grain Commission, much of the Canada Western Red Spring wheat produced in Western Canada in 2013 was from varieties that were rated as poor or very poor for fusarium resistance.

The top CWRS varieties planted in 2013 were: • Harvest: very poor • Carberry: good • Lillian: very poor Carberry was the top variety in Manitoba in 2013, Unity (fair) was tops in Saskatchewan and Harvest and Stettler (susceptible and moderately susceptible) were tops in Alberta.

“That tells me that if you are in the higher risk areas, then farmers are already adopting the more resistant varieties, but as you go into the … drier areas, maybe not yet,” McMullen said.

As they did in North Dakota more

than 20 years ago, wheat farmers in many parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta have received a crash course in fusarium management during the past few years.

Infection levels has increased noticeably in areas that are typically unaffected.

Many farmers now use fungicides routinely after a couple of years with abnormally high fusarium pressure, sometimes when the risk of infection is relatively low.

McMullen said in some cases the cost of buying and applying fungicides could be avoided completely.

Fusarium risk is determined largely by climatic conditions that occur during the growing season.

In the United States, risk prediction models have been developed and fine-tuned over a period of years or decades, McMullen said.

Farmers in 20 American states can access an online fusarium risk assessment tool that monitors environmental conditions and provides daily risk assessment forecasts.

Regional data is fed into the system, and farmers can customize their risk assessment queries by entering specific land locations and identifying the cereal varieties they are growing.

The program, at www.wheatscab. psu.edu, allows farmers to make informed decisions about fungicide applications.

“In addition to letting farmers know when the risk is high, we also try very hard to let producers know when there is no risk,” McMullen said. “We want them to save their money, too.”

Communication is a key element to reducing production costs and managing the disease effectively, she added.

Extension agents involved in the U.S. monitoring system prepare frequent forecast commentaries, which can be sent directly to a grower’s mobile phone, alerting him to heightened risk.

“It’s kind of a push technology,” McMullen said. “The communication is critical.” brian.cross@producer.com

The deficient rail system that we are burdened with today is the one designed and imposed by the Harper government. They’ve been talking and tinkering for nearly a decade, and they’ve accomplished the square root of nothing.

RALPH GOODALE, LIBERAL MP

SASKATCHEWAN ASSOCIATION OF RURAL MUNICIPALITIES

PM takes heat over transportation system chaos Stephen Harper heard complaints from SARM delegates on poor service and favourtism

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It might be time to put away the stick and pull out the carrot in an effort to get better rail service, says Saskatchewan’s agriculture minister.

“There needs to be motivation for the railways to operate without government having to tell them how many cars they have to deliver every week,” said Lyle Stewart.

That was one theme in the province’s submission to the Canada Transportation Act review.

“Certainly the way the railways are paid has to be addressed,” Stewart said during an interview at the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities annual convention.

“Not necessarily (paying) more, but they don’t seem to be motivated to haul grain, that’s for sure.”

He said everything needs to be explored, including a possible restructuring of the railway revenue cap for hauling grain.

Grain handling was a hot topic at SARM and was raised during a question and answer session with prime minister Stephen Harper.

Harper said Canada is in the unusual situation where two railways have “extraordinary market power,” which is why they need to be closely monitored.

“We simply cannot accept outcomes where those two big companies dictate to the market just what they think is satisfactory in their interests,” Harper said.

He said the federal order in council requiring compulsory minimum grain shipments have helped unclog the system.

“Let me assure everybody in the room here, we are tracking this very closely,” said Harper.“The system is clearly not under anywhere near the strain it was a year ago.”

Harper’s comments prompted a response from Liberal MP Ralph Goodale.

“The deficient rail system that we are burdened with today is the one designed and imposed by the Harper government,” he said in a news release. “They’ve been talking and tinkering for nearly a decade, and they’ve accomplished the square root of nothing.”

Goodale said there have been rail freight service reviews, rail legislation and two orders in council, and the result has been $5 billion in costs and losses to farmers.

Goodale said there is no equity in how shipping corridor, producer cars and short lines are treated.

The inequity issue was also raised during SARM’s bear pit session with Saskatchewan’s cabinet ministers.

Armand Roy, councillor for the RM of St. Louis and president of the Wheatland Rail short line, said companies have built new markets in the post-single desk marketing environment, but are now losing some of them because of poor transportation performance,” he said.

Saskatchewan oat producers have a geographic and quality advantage over competitors in servicing the U.S. market, he said.

“But we are going to lose it if we do not get these transportation issues fixed,” he told cabinet ministers.

Stewart said the province has been lobbying the federal government and the railways to provide better service for small shippers, including short lines and producer cars.

“I have all kinds of sympathy with your situation in the oat business and all of these other shippers,” he said.

Stewart praised federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz for standing up to the railways and implementing the order in council.

“I think it’s fair to say that he burned up some of his political credibility,” said Stewart.

“That is much appreciated, but it didn’t solve the whole problem.”

Railways are servicing the main lines and sidings with long car spots, but there needs to be guaranteed service for all customers in all corridors, he said.

Stewart encouraged all farm groups to participate in the CTA review.

“I can’t say it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for input from farm groups, but it’s a once in a long time opportunity,” he said in an interview.

Harper said the government will await the outcome of the review before taking further actions on grain transportation. sean.pratt@producer.com

Greedy bass make pigs of themselves

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — Small and largemouth bass, the stars of fishing shows and loved by fishermen, are eating their way through dwindling stocks of salmon and rainbow trout in British Columbia lakes.

Bass are great to eat, but they are an invasive species that is endangering native fish, said Brian Heise, a natural resources scientist with Thompson River University in Kamloops, B.C. Large and smallmouth bass have been introduced to lakes throughout the province and are competing with trout and salmon for food. They even consider salmon tasty snacks.

“It’s estimated bass eat one-third of all juvenile salmon in some areas of the Pacific Northwest,” Heise told the Alberta Invasive Species Council conference.

“A lot of rainbow trout are going into lakes and a lot are being eaten by bass.”

Trying to eliminate bass from B.C. lakes is not easy because of their popularity with fishermen, said Heise.

“They are a huge business. They generate large amounts of money in the U.S. and there are active bass clubs in B.C.,” he said.

Bass aren’t the only invasive fish harming native fish species, said Heise.

Yellow perch, also popular with fishermen, create havoc with native species. Larger fish avoid eating them because of their spiny backs and fins, and the perch’s aggressive nature force trout away from desirable feeding locations.

Walleye are making their way into B.C. through the Columbia River system. They eat native fish and have few predators. They also com-

pete with native fish for food.

Northern pike are fun to catch, but Heise called them “pigs with fins” because of their voracious appetite.

“There is a risk they will totally wipe out native fish,” he said.

In small lakes with stocks of invasive species, Heise promotes killing all the fish in the lake with rotenone, a poison that will kill the fish but nothing else.

The naturally occurring chemical breaks down in a few weeks and the lake can be restocked with native species.

He said education is key in B.C. to prevent anglers from moving the invasive undesirable fish to lakes around the province.

“Once the fish are established in a large watershed, all you can do is reduce the population,” he said.

“You’re not going to get rid of them.”

James and Brenda Belbas took a circuitous route in finding each other, but eventually they got around to it, and 17 years later the work-life balance they’ve cultured on their Killarney, Man., area farm remains strong.

That’s evident in their current project as they shift away from cattle to sheep to better accommodate their changing lifestyles.

“As we’re getting older, we don’t move as fast,” Brenda said.

“James flipped over a couple fences (trying to get away from cattle) to the point where a couple years ago we thought we should size down on these animals.

“With a sheep, I can go deliver a lamb by myself: catch it and deliver it.

With cows, you need help.”

The couple first got together in high school but ultimately married other people, had children and got divorced.

But then 17 years ago, they married.

James owned cattle at the time, and the couple decided to get a place near Killarney to raise cattle.

“I told him that I liked animals and that I wanted to farm, so we bought an acre,” said Brenda.

About 10 years ago, the Belbases moved into a one-story house to better care for Brenda’s ailing aunt, who came to live with them.

The new place came with some land so they started bale grazing their cattle.

The couple began the move to sheep when Brenda’s grown daughter gave her a sheep.

“We started with one sheep and we worked our way up to 100 ewes.”

At one time the couple had 155 cattle, which was reduced by 50 three years ago and then another 60 the following year.

The herd dropped to 15 last year, and now they have only nine.

“They are nice to have around. We like animals, but they’ll be going this year.,” she said.

“We like to have happy, healthy animals.”

They also have six cats, one of which lives in the house.

“My husband likes to have him because he is diabetic and so is the cat.”

The Belbases rent out four of five quarters, and farm only the home quarter.

They have divided the pastures into 20 paddocks and rotate the animals through, said Brenda, who describes their style of agriculture as “grass farming.”

Lambs have become a local attraction in the area with some people bringing their children out to the farm to see what they look like as new babies.

“Everybody wants to see the new babies, especially if you get triplets or quads, as they think they are more special.”

The Belbases are also working to train new puppies to help them out after their dog was shot last year, leaving their sheep unprotected.

“After we lost the dog, we lost a dozen lambs that summer to coyotes.

They just come right in the yard and eat them.”

Farming is such a gamble,” Brenda said.

“The air is fresh, though. You can go outside and nobody will bother you.

It’s nice that way. It’s a great place to raise your family.”

Hazelnuts were first considered as a potential crop for Saskatchewan farmers before University of Saskatchewan professor Bob Bors arrived on campus.

It was William Les Kerr, a plant breeder who worked both in Manitoba and Saskatchewan for 50 years, who first began looking at ways to improve the growth of Manitoba’s wild hazelnuts.

Kerr’s mandate was to work on shelter belts, but he also secretly worked on hazelnut cultivars as well as apples and cherries.

“This was back in the ’60s and ’70s,” said Bors, who now heads up the U of S’s domestic fruit program.

“The government didn’t want him (Kerr) working on nuts or fruit, so he was secretly breeding these things and sending them out to growers.”

Kerr was instrumental in landscaping the Forest Nursery Station in Saskatoon, which became the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo after the station closed.

Kerr called the university’s head of fruit breeding when he was on his deathbed and told him where to find the best hazelnuts and cherries. Rick Sawatzky, a U of S technician, then began doing crosses of the best prairie and Oregon breeding lines.

Sawatsky’s hybrids were just starting to produce nuts when Bors started working at the U of S in 1999.

“They were about a decade old,” he said. “We had Rick evaluate them and chop down all the ones that weren’t as good because hazelnuts are wind pollinated.”

Bors and team sold 15,000 to 20,000 hazelnut seedlings.

“We had the buyers sign an agreement that they keep the plants, but they can’t release anything of the new variety and that we had the right to do that,” said Bors.

The university’s breeding program had no funds for this, so Bors and team found private farmers to do the growing.

“My idea was that these growers would grow them, and then when they started going into production, we would visit or they would send us their favourite nuts, and we would propagate the best from each farm.”

The first blocks of hazelnut groves should be producing nuts by now, he added.

“We have a stand of 300 or 500 or so of that generation that are now producing nuts for the third year,” he said.

“So we are evaluating our own stuff and are about to do a mailing to farmers to see if any had them survive and are producing anything. We have some really good ones on our own property. The ones we have that are doing really well, we’ve been undercrossing the best ones and are doing a major planting now at the univer-

sity. We’re trying to put in as many hazelnuts as possible.”

Bors expects to have 15,000 hazelnut plants in production in five to seven years.

Wild Canadian hazelnuts grow on bushes, while European and Oregon hazelnuts grow on trees. Researchers are developing a hybrid of the two.

“The original stands of the first generation hybrids were all very tall bushes, 12 to 15 feet,” said Bors.

“One of the Les Kerr-approved wild ones was about eight to 10 feet tall.

We’d like them to be a little shorter, so maybe a machine can pick them one day. In Oregon, they just go and shake the trees and then vacuum up the nuts. There’s a group in the northern U.S. that only works with wild hazelnut varieties that have smaller nuts than what is grown in Saskatchewan, and they are using harvesting machines that are typically used on berry crops to pick their nuts.”

The popular perception may be that wild hazelnut varieties are not as tasty, Bors said that’s not necessarily the case.

“Hazelnuts vary widely in flavour, and our intermediate Les Kerrapproved ones don’t taste bad.”

When asked when he foresees hazelnuts being a viable crop in Saskatchewan, Bors said, “that’s my white hair project. I have grey hair now.

“Hazelnuts are our background crop that we are building huge numbers of on campus to select from.”

University researchers are now working on the second generation of hazelnuts, but Bors is sceptical they will find what they are looking for in that generation.

“There’s more likely going to be better ones in the third generation,” he said.

“If you went through our generation, you could enjoy eating probably half the plants pretty good. They just might be small, but some look loaded.”

Bors said he and his team are working on many projects that may or may not pan out, considering the university is the northernmost breeding station for most of these North American crops.

However, he was confident this project will pay off.

“Hazelnuts looks like they will work, so we are gearing up.”

Beef program requires records of sustainable practices

Sask. crop insurance will oversee wild boar program

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. is taking over administration of the feral wild boar control program.

“It made sense for SCIC to look after it because we already have the wildlife damage compensation program,

CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — The beef industry’s onfarm food safety program is being enhanced.

Animal welfare, environmental care and biosecurity components have been added to the verified beef program to ensure customers that Canadian beef comes from responsible and sustainable operations.

The voluntary program documents animal health and husbandry practices.

Rob McNabb of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association said the enhanced program should demonstrate sustainability and follow recognized codes of practice.

“This program potentially affects many of our people, organizations and other initiatives that we have underway,” he said at the association’s annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-12.

The program is delivered through provincial co-ordinators, and McNabb said New components must be piloted in the field soon.

McDonald’s Canada will likely rely on this program to help find beef that fits its sustainability guidelines, which are still being written.

Canada needs to move quickly because McDonald’s is conducting a sustainability pilot study that ends next March.

“McDonald’s needs some sort of affirmation that we will be ready in order for them to invest in the industry and make sure we are first out of the gate,” said Bob Lowe of the CCA’s value creation committee.

The association envisions the program as a marketing advantage, in which Canada makes good on a promise to deliver a safe product raised in a sustainable manner.

The program requires written record keeping of practices on the individual farm.

Participants go through a verification process once they attend training workshops.

CCA president Dave Solverson has taken the workshop but has not become a verified producer yet.

The cow-calf producer from Alberta said he wants a science based program. He does not want a mandatory program where producers must be certified to sell their cattle.

“Most of them are doing it anyway.

It is just some documentation,” Solverson said.

The program must evolve, he added, and cow-calf producers may give it some consideration if extra money is offered in the marketplace. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Alta. rural group wants help with elk problem County officials say numbers are out of control and cause damage to fences and crops

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Landowners want governments to do more to help control Alberta’s growing elk population and increase the compensation for damages by the roaming animals.

“We would like to see the province do something to increase the elk harvest so the farmers have to feed less elk,” Dale Ger vais, reeve of the Municipal District of Greenview, said during debate on one of two elk resolutions brought forward during the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties convention.

“Producers in this area are not convinced the provincial government is doing enough to rectify the problem and not doing enough to compensate producers for the damages being done,” said Gervais, who asked the province to increase the number of elk tags.

“We need to relieve some of the financial pressure on the farmers who are being devastated by elk damage.”

The provincial government paid almost $7 million in compensation to Peace River region farmers in 2011 and 2012 for non-waterfowl damage.

Gervais believe the roaming herds of elk cause even more damage than what farmers claim, especially in the fall when herds can reach 200 animals.

“In the fall they congregate in an area. That is when they do the most damage,” he said.

Richard Harpe of Grande Prairie County said farmers should be allowed to control the elk that are damaging their crops.

“Can you put your common sense to work? Do something with our elk

problem,” he told cabinet ministers during a bear pit session at the convention.

“Elk can wreck $200,000 worth of canola. When they finish eating they crawl on top of the grain bags and farmers are supposed to keep their guns locked up and look the other way while their very livelihood disappears.”

Environment minister Kyle Fawcett said the province has increased the number of hunting licences and elk tags, especially in the southern and northwestern Alberta, to deal with the elk problems.

“The challenge is trying to find a balance between issuing enough licences to start to reduce the population and balancing that with safety issues when you get too many hunters,” said Fawcett.

Special landowner licences to allow landowners to shoot antlerless elk on farms with more than 160 acres is another attempt to reduce elk problems, he said.

Fawcett said he is open to strategies other than increasing hunting licences to help control elk.

“The issue of elk population is an obvious annoyance for many people who live in rural Alberta and have to live with the consequences, whether it be broken and busted fences or the fact of elk getting into their crops,” said Fawcett.

The government is developing a plan to help control elk around the Canadian Forces Base near Suffield, he added.

It also plans to develop an advisory council on wildlife to gather more feedback and ideas to control the elk population. mary.macarthur@producer.com

EDMONTON — Rural residents will have a greater say in how their health care works, a new rural health care review has promised.

Alberta health minister Stephen Mandel, who released the report March 18 during the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties convention, promised to return more control of health care to rural regions.

“We hope this will push decisionmaking down to the local level,” said Mandel.

“We understand how important health care is to Albertans, including small and rural communities.”

The report makes 56 recommendations on how to improve health-care service in rural Alberta.

A l b e r t a He a l t h S e r v i c e s w i l l establish eight to 10 operational districts, which are designed to allow rural areas more say in their health care.

The new districts will take effect July 1.

Alberta used to have health-care districts, but they were disbanded in favour of the centralized health-care model.

Mandel said the new operational districts would be different than the old health regions, which fought with each other for services.

“These district will be responsible for allocating the budget, deal with health care directly, not capital investments. It will really be about delivering health care.”

Other recommendations include expanding telehealth programs to all rural health facilities and expanding physician assistant and nurse practitioners programs.

ization versus decentralization is an issue and local people need to have a voice of where those services are provided. There comes with that the risk there may be duplication and costs associated with providing more locally. Providing those services may trump the associated costs to provide the services.”

However, Mandel said the goal of the decentralization is to reduce expenses by having communities within the region working together.

A lump sum of money will be given to each district, and it will be expected to make the best use of all the facilities in the region, including small hospitals and primary care networks.

“The budget will be allocated to each district based on program needs,” said Mandel.

As well, changes will be made to ambulance services.

Rural ambulances that bring patients to larger centres will no longer be allowed to be used by urban hospitals to shuttle patients within the city. Instead, those ambulances will return to their home base. mary.macarthur@producer.com

EDMONTON — Albertans don’t need a crystal ball to predict an upcoming election, and rural councilors aren’t relying on soothsayers to ensure their message is relayed to politicians.

Instead, the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties has launched a campaign to help rural councillors get their message to politicians during the expected provincial election.

As a way to keep rural issues top of mind for all politicians, it distributed more than 1,500 RURAL AB licence plates to be put on vehicles’ front bumpers as a reminder of the importance of rural Alberta, president Al Kemmere said during the association’s convention.

“The licence plate is one of the tools to bring acknowledgment that rural Alberta is important,” he said.

“We play a huge role in the economy of Alberta, and we need you to help get that message out.… We know the economy of this province starts in rural Alberta.”

However, he said he doesn’t know if all politicians and people who live in Calgar y and Edmonton understand the importance of rural Alberta.

“It is just trying to make sure all MLAs in the future and the public understands that rural Alberta is alive and well.”

The provincial government’s budget will be released March 26, and Alberta premier Jim Prentice told the councilors rural communities are part of an economic development team.

“We must work together as communities, regions, non-profit organizations and all sectors of government to share our knowledge with one another, so we can all walk

down the same economic pathway,” he said.

Kemmere said he knows everyone’s budgets will be cut during the upcoming budget, but he doesn’t want rural municipalities to be hit harder than other sectors because they are responsible for massive infrastructure projects.

“We are advocating hard on bridge funding,” he said.

“We all know how hard it is to move oil and gas, move agriculture, move forestry, get people in and out of their communities; Bridge funding is a major, major issue for rural Alberta.

We will wait to see what is in the budget.”

He also wants to ensure that taxes generated in rural Alberta stay in rural Alberta and not siphoned off to Calgary and Edmonton, as some mayors and government officials would like.

“Now, the commercial industrial tax from oil and gas goes into the counties to help cover cost of roads.

There is a desire at times to have that shared into the urbans. We want to make sure the money stays where the taxes are produced in the rural. We do share back with our urban,” said Kemmere, referring to the $130 million redirected from counties to smaller towns and villages.

“Let’s make sure the funding keeps on flowing. We all know the government is under extreme financial pressure and we want to make sure we are not treated any differently than anyone else. I am asking we don’t get treated any more harshly or any less than other sectors of the province.

“No body wants to lose funding, but as long as all sectors get dealt with rather equally, that is the fair process.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

JURISDICTION DISPUTE

CN, Alberta district disagree on weed control Peace River region municipality wants to clarify if CN-owned land is exempt from Alberta’s Weed Act

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — A tussle has broken out in Alberta over what is and isn’t a weed.

Alberta Agriculture says Canadian National Railway land is covered under the provincial Weed Act, but CN argues it falls under federal jurisdiction.

The Municipal District of Smoky River in Alberta’s Peace River region want the government and the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts

and Counties to help it find out who is right.

“Not a particularly comfortable position for municipalities to be in,” Robert Brochu, Smoky River reeve and chair of the Agricultural Service Board, wrote to Alberta deputy agriculture minister Jason Krips.

The trouble began in 2013 when the municipality received an email from CN staff that weeds on railway land weren’t the municipality’s business.

“CN Rail is federally regulated and the Weed Control Act of Alberta does

not have jurisdiction on CN property,” wrote Mario Page, chief of staff in the executive vice-president’s office.

The email said any attempts to control the weeds on railway land without proper permission was considered trespassing. CN said it carried out its own extensive weed control program.

Krips rejected an attempt by the municipality to have Alberta Agriculture share the provincial justice department’s opinion on who was right.

“Information requested by ARD,

from Alberta Justice, is subject to solicitor-client privilege,” wrote Krips, a lawyer.

“I would encourage municipal authorities seeking clarity on issues relating to the Alberta Weed Control Act and how it is interpreted in specific case to also seek legal advice.”

Brochu said almost 350 municipalities are designated to control weeds in the province, and it was foolish to have each one seek a legal ruling on controlling weeds on CN land.

“Having each affected municipality

request their own legal opinion in such a matter would be a criminal waste of money, in addition to potentially creating more issues if some legal opinion was positive and others were negative,” Brochu wrote to Krips.

The motion to ask the rural municipalities association to obtain a legal opinion on the jurisdiction of the weed control act on behalf of the municipalities was approved at the association’s recent convention, but was changed to include all railways, not just CN.

COMMUNICATION

Never call critics irrational, even when they are An author says it’s important to understand where concerns are coming from when consumers worry about GMOs or pesticides information, but it’s not enough.

“You will not convince anyone of anything by offering them facts and figures.”

Instead, the conversation with worriers needs to be done in a manner that addresses concerns more psychologically complex while encouraging positive feelings about the issue.

And beyond simply not insulting skeptics by throwing labels at them, proponents of criticized technologies and methods need to ensure that they are not actually being the arrogant, elitist, selfish people that some critics assume they are.

“Humility is a very powerful force,” said Gardner. ed.white@producer.com

BANFF, Alta. — Exasperation and insults don’t create trust in skeptical consumers, says an expert in risk misperception.

Describing consumers who worry about genetically modified organisms or pesticides as irrational shuts down conversation and reinforces hostility, said journalist, author and analyst Dan Gardner.

This is true even when those fears actually are irrational.

“Don’t ever tell anyone they’re being irrational,” said Gardner, who wrote the bestseller, Risk: the Science and Politics of Fear, in a presentation to the Canola Council of Canada convention March 4.

“You’ve lost. Give up. Go home.”

Gardner said using labels that demean the opinion-holder simply demeans the person. To have useful communication with someone who is worried about pesticides or GMOs, one must understand that person’s self-identity, their values and where their concerns are coming from.

That will likely reveal that their concerns are irrational, but irrational in the way that all human beings think and make decisions, he said.

Gardner sketched out a number of mechanisms by which humans form

Dan Gardner says farmers must treat their critics with respect. | their intuitions and “rational” opinions, based on cognitive psychology. These are grounded deeply in evolution, in which primitive humans needed to be able to react quickly and aggressively to perceptions of risk, including subconscious perceptions of risk.

That served humanity well for tens of thousands of years, but in today’s world it can create risk perceptions that are completely at odds with any realistic appraisal of those risks.

People see examples of things they are worried about and begin to worry, even if what they saw was something on TV from across the world.

They also seek others’ views on situations, and if they hear similar worries to their own, it helps confirm the fear in their minds. This applies to journalists, who hear about a concern, go out and look for it, find it and report it, thereby reinforcing the perception of fear.

Gardner said scientists, engineers

and others in industry often respond to concerns by presenting data and

AGRICULTURE LITERACY

Sask.-made book offers farm lessons Students learning about food production

BY CALVIN DANIELS FREELANCE WRITER

Grade 4 students at a school in Yorkton, Sask., were among those from 161 classrooms to take part in the launch of a new school resource as part of Agriculture Literacy Week in Saskatchewan.

The classrooms were recently visited by presenters reading The Adventures of Michael & Mia: Stewards of the Land, a new book geared toward teaching students more about where their food comes from.

“We eat every day,” reader Joelle Carlson, an agrologist from Melville, Sask., told the students.

Carlson pointed to a large 365 she had written on the chalkboard and told the students people eat every day of the year “because we need food to fuel our bodies.”

She then asked: “Every day we eat.

What should we think about?”

The answer was farmers.

Referring to the book, and how it ties into food production, Carlson said: “See how everybody is connected to agriculture in this room,” although not one student lived on a farm.

“So 365 days a year, let’s thank the farmers.”

After reading to the first class of the day, Carlson was asked why she volunteered as a reader.

“Because I have five children,” she said.

“I think it’s important today to teach children about agriculture.”

Carlson said teaching the importance of farming to students means making them see how important it is to them.

“Everybody is connected to agriculture,” she said.

“Kids are connected to agriculture, you just have to show them that.”

Teacher Kendal Hack said the book and the presentation kept her students interested.

“It was very engaging,” she said.

The book, which was written by Edward Willet and illustrated by Val Law ton, touched on technical aspects of agriculture, from the use of global positioning systems for precision farming to how a riparian area protects natural water ways. However, Hack said it brings such concepts back to ideas that young students can grasp.

Grade 4 is an age when young people are looking to learn new things, so they welcome new concepts well, she added.

“They brought it back down to their level.”

Hack said agricultural education is part of the Grade 4 curriculum, and young people need to learn the source of their food. As a result, it makes sense to incorporate it into the classroom.

Her students attended the Grain Millers Harvest Showdown in Yorkton in November for hands-on experience with farming.

That trip, when combined with the recent classroom reading, will serve as a springboard into more classroom education until the end of the school year.

Farmer finds fababeans are hardier Sask. producer adds fababeans to his rotation as an alternative to peas and lentils

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

It took years of research and unfavourable conditions before Corey Loessin decided to try growing fababeans in his rotation instead of peas.

Peas and lentils had been the preferred rotational legume for more than 20 years on the more than 6,000 acres that Loessin and his brother farm just northwest of Saskatoon.

They had also successfully practised no-till agriculture on the farm, but moisture levels started rising over the last few years, and their thin black soil with low topsoil became waterlogged to the point that peas and lentils could not survive.

“Some years, the crops have been a complete failure just because of wetness,” said Loessin.

“Even this past year, which was a little less wet, pea crops varied from very good to very poor based on the field. Everyone in the region is nervous about getting too big acreage of peas again because of the wet ground.”

Loessin said the region has had many more dry than wet years over the last 20 to 30 years.

Loessin’s interest in fababeans was particularly motivated by their ability

to withstand wet soil and their high rate of nitrogen fixation.

When Loessin decided to try fababeans for the first time, he planted them side by side with peas in the lower part of the field where it had flooded for several days.

“The peas just disappeared and the (fababeans) were hurt a little, but ended up growing fairly well and producing seed,” said Loessin.

“On the positive side, fababeans tend to stand quite well and don’t have to be harvested as low to the ground as peas.… So, harvesting is really quite easy relative to peas.

Loessin did encounter a challenge during seeding.

“They are a large seeded crop, and the variety I had was one of the largest seeded ones. Getting them to flow through our air drill was a challenge because the seed is so big,” he said.

“It bridged in the secondary manifolds…. You end up with some misses and some frustration during the seeding process. I don’t know if those are insurmountable challenges.”

Loessin said he found the overall fababean experience to be positive because the production cycle was easy and similar to peas.

He also expects insects to gravitate to the crop.

“Researchers use them as an insect trap around other crops,” he said.

“So, for some reason, insects will travel for miles to get near your fababeans.”

Loessin grew his fababeans under contract and found that input costs were similar to peas.

“There is good profit potential because the total input costs end up being relatively moderate compared to canola,” said Loessin.

He said fababeans would be better for the region than not having legumes at all in the rotation, which Loessin said is something many area producers are leaning toward.

Loessin said he doesn’t plan to grow fababeans this year until he solves the drill problems.

“That’s not a field choice thing as much as it is an equipment choice thing.”

Bert Vandenberg, a pulse crop breeder at the University of Saskatchewan, said fababeans have been grown on a limited scale since the early 1980s.

“But the crop is now expanding, especially in the past three years, because new varieties fit market demand and farmers are looking for crop alternatives,” he said.

“Southern Saskatchewan production does pose more risks. I would

stick to heavier textured soils with a full moisture profile. Start on a limited area and, above all, try to seed as early as possible in April.”

Vandenberg has good things to say about the crop.

“Fababean tolerates flooding, cool weather and has the most nitrogen fixation potential of all our grain legume crops,” he said.

“Faba, like pea and lentil, but unlike soy, has very little oil, but has 30 percent protein, much more than pea and lentil.”

Vandenberg’s breeding program in Rosthern, Sask., has been growing fababeans for more than 10 years.

“We have never had a failure,” he said.

“We grow them beside peas.”

Vandenberg said producers should identify their potential markets before they grow fababeans. It’s also important to plan a weed control strategy in advance.

“Watch out for chocolate spot, a fungal disease that can affect the crop,” he said.

“Read, educate, look and listen.

Learn the easy way. Learning by mistakes is highly overrated as either an educational or economic strategy.

Use good seed, inoculate with a fababean strain, scout your crop regularly and get to know it.”

PRODUCTION

U.S. farmers planning for record soy acres in 2015, corn to dip CHICAGO (Reuters) — U.S. farmers plan to seed 87.25 million acres of soybeans this spring, the most on record, while paring corn acreage to 88.34 million.

The soybean figure from a producer survey released by Farm Futures magazine is up 4.2 percent from the 83.7 million acres seeded last year.

The survey’s corn figure is down 2.5 percent from the 90.6 million acres seeded last year and would represent

the smallest corn acreage since 2010.

“Growers are interested in preserving cash, with farmers in most areas of the country ready to jump on the soybean bandwagon,” said Bryce Knorr, Farm Futures market analyst.

“This was especially true down into the Delta, where cotton should lose acres.”

The magazine’s survey of 1,297 farmers in 41 states pegged 2015 cotton seeding at 9.4 million acres,

down 15 percent from last year.

The survey projected plantings of spring wheat (other than durum) at 13.4 million acres, up from 13.025 million last year, and durum wheat at 1.6 million acres, up from 1.4 million last year. Prices for durum have risen because of poor-quality U.S. and Canadian harvests last year.

Farm Futures put total wheat acres at 55.6 million, down 2.1 percent from last year. The survey put winter

wheat seeding at 40.6 million acres, which is higher than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Jan. 12 forecast of 40.5 million but down from 42.4 million acres planted last year.

Sorghum is seen rising 18 percent to 8.4 million acres, reflecting strong demand for the feed grain in China.

The USDA is scheduled to release its 2015 planting intentions report March 31, based on a survey of more than 80,000 producers.

Shape-shifting tire mimics rubber track Reinforced sidewall construction achieves 167 percent better lateral stability so it can flatten under heavy loads

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Whether farmers prefer round rubber pneumatic tires or flat solid rubber tracks depends largely on their soil and precipitation.

The industry offers a comprehensive lineup of tires and tracks to keep everyone happy. After all, there is no in between or compromise. Or is there? Well, maybe there is.

Mitas, the little known tire company

from the Czech Republic, is developing a round rubber pneumatic tire that flattens out under load so the bottom surface takes on the shape and characteristics of a flat rubber track.

The PneuTrac’s footprint is 53 percent larger than that of a standard tire, and its lateral stability is 167 percent higher than that of a standard tire, according to Greg Payne, technical service manager with Mitas at its North American head office and manufacturing plant in Charles City, Iowa.

“Instead of the sidewalls bulging out like you see on a standard IF (increased flexion) or VF (very high flexion) radial at low pressure, the sidewalls of the PneuTrac actually concave or deflect to the inside of the tire,” Payne said.

“The tire looks like it almost collapses on itself. It completely elongates the tread so the imprint is more like a track than a tire. If you’re used to seeing radial imprints become wider at low pressure, these imprints

become longer. That’s why we compare it to a track.

“The tire is re-enforced in the centre section to give it rigidity so it will not sway sideways like any conventional sidewall will do. That’s how we achieve 167 percent better lateral stability.”

Mitas says the PneuTrac’s better traction means lower slippage, lower operational costs and less soil compaction. Its experience shows that normal transit speeds are possible

without stops to adjust tire pressures.

The Mitas research and development department in Europe is testing PneuTrac tires in 18, 28 and 38 inch sizes. All PneuTrac tires will fit existing rims.

“We’ve built quite a few prototypes for them, but it’s still in the testing stage. I’d say the final release won’t be for at least two to three years,” said Payne. ron.lyseng@producer.com

TIRES

Mitas tires use ‘mini-track’

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Firestone AD2 designation stands for Advanced Deflection Design. The IF series can carry 20 percent more load at the same inflation or the same load at reduced inflation. The VF series can carry 40 percent more load at the same inflation or the same load at reduced inflation. The intent behind IF and VF is to run them at reduced inflation to lessen soil compaction and to improve tractor efficiency. The tread on the left is a standard radial, while the tread on the right shows the AD2. | FIRESTONE PHOTO TIRES

Tires allow for larger load, same footprint Manufacturers are introducing new tires that redistribute weight and reduce soil compaction

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Firestone’s new Advanced Deflection Design agricultural tires are engineered to fit the increased flexion (IF) and very high flexion (VF) categories for agricultural tires.

Field studies at the Firestone Research Farm in Ohio show that AD2 tires yield a four percent savings in fuel and a five percent savings in time when compared to equivalent sized radial tires, according to Firestone field engineer Wayne Birkenholz.

Birkenholz said the Tire and Rim Association defines IF as a tire that can carry 20 percent more load when compared to the same size standard radial at the same inflation pressure as the standard radial. It can also carry the same load at a lower inflation pressure.

The VF criteria allows 40 percent more load on the tire when compared to the same size standard radial at the same inflation pressure as the standard radial tire. It can also carry the same load at a lower inflation pressure.

“I’m sure there are some similarities,” Birkenholz said when asked if all tire companies achieve their IF and VF in the same way. “Of course the details are proprietary, but I think we would all

look at those areas of a tire where the stresses normally cause failure. Those are the areas we work to strengthen.”

He said the sidewall is the thinnest part of a tire, and it does all the flexing.

However, it is not the weakest link.

Stiffening the sidewall wouldn’t make the tire stronger and would negate the benefit of a flexible radial.

A radial tire is required to flex for the footprint to spread out and become larger. This distributes the weight better, creates better traction and minimizes soil compaction.

“How much load we can carry with that tire depends on two things: size of the air cavity and the pressure we put into that cavity.,” he said. “Air volume and air pressure are the two factors our engineers have to work with.”

He said from there it’s a matter of simple math. A larger cavity in the tire will hold a larger volume of air, allowing producers to carry the same load at a lower pressure. That lower pressure is what produces the bigger, lighter footprint.

A smaller cavity in the standard tire requires more air pressure to carry the same load, so the manufacturer has to put more body plies in the sidewall to handle the higher inflation pressures, thus causing slippage and compaction.

Do you agree that farmers should have strategies to reduce the impact on their farm of excess supply chain margins?

“When we go to the new AD2 technology, we’re carrying that same load at lower pressure. We don’t need as much body strength from the sidewall fabric,” he said.

“To make it work, we need to look at those areas where a standard tire might fail if it were to run under inflated or overloaded, and we address those areas. When it comes to tractor tires, they typically fail up at the shoulder near the lugs or down at the bead near the rim. So those are the areas that received the most attention on our AD2 line of tires.”

Birkenholz said there is a down side

to running low pressures in IF or VF tires: the flexible sidewall that is a positive factor at field speed becomes a negative factor at transit speed.

“You’ll likely lose some lateral stability with any IF or VF tire because the sidewalls are flexing more,” he said.

“On hillsides like they have in Oregon, it might not be a good investment.

In fact, I wouldn’t recommend this kind of technology for hills like that.”

Running IF or VF tires at normal pressures defeats the purpose of the design, he added. ron.lyseng@producer.com

Farmers who’ve switched from tires to tracks all seem to miss one thing: air.

Tracks jolt man and machine, while tires let farmers ride on a cushion of air.

“Air supports the tractor,” says Firestone field engineer Wayne Birkenholz. “A tire is nothing more than a rubber container holding air.”

Ideally, farmers could buy implements with inflatable rubber tracks, which would provide their typical superior traction and flotation and also a better ride. However, manufacturers haven’t yet figured out how to mass produce reliable pneumatic tracks. In the meantime, they build agricultural radials that flex laterally for a bigger footprint and solid rubber tracks that create a longitudinal footprint.

Mitas of the Czech Republic came up with the novel idea of having their PneuTrac tire flatten out longitudinally to create a mini-track footprint instead of squishing out sideways like all other agricultural tires.

Mitas’ design makes the sidewall collapse to the inside, allowing the tread to expand further than the latest IF or VF radial tires. | MITAS PHOTO

The penetrometer has been the primary instrument for measuring soil compaction since its introduction in 1905.

More recently, Scandinavian soil scientists have used hospital CT scans for a more accurate measurement to clearly depict and quantify soil structures.

One of the pioneers in this area is Dorthe Wildenschild, a researcher in Oregon State University’s chemical, biological and environmental engineering department.

“When we started this work in Denmark, we actually took our core samples to a hospital in the nearby town and used their medical scanner to make images of the pores in the soil cores,” Wildenschild said.

“But no, I’m not a soil scientist. I got involved because of my experience with imaging. It’s the same type of equipment as used in medical facilities.”

She said her role is to create images that clearly depict the pores and passages within the soil structure so that they can be measured and documented.

The project no longer uses hospital equipment, she added.

“That’s because a medical scanner can only give you about 500 to 600 microns resolution. I need five microns resolution in my work.”

The soil cores come from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.

Wildenschild was born and educated in Denmark but has been with OSU since 2002, currently using synchrotron radiation in her groundwater research.

When she has soil imaging challenges that she can’t solve with OSU instrumentation, she brings her work to a more powerful set of imaging tools in Chicago.

It’s interesting that the initial X-ray imaging of soil cores was done with equipment intended for human use because the large, air-filled macropores in untilled soil often resemble the branching vessels of the human circulatory system, according to the November/December 2013 issue of the Soil Science Society of America Journal.

The Nordic scientists found that heavy clay subsoil has long vertical arterial pores, which serve as pipes to let water move down into the soil.

The heavy clay subsoil in non-compacted samples also has smaller horizontal pores branching out laterally to bring water to plant roots.

It was a different story for the compacted soil. The CT scan showed that the compacted soil contained mainly

long, vertical arterial pores with significantly fewer lateral pores branching from them to bring water to crop roots. The core samples for these particular studies were pulled from Finland.

“Compaction also reduces the size of the vertical arteries,” according to a news release from the Soil Science Society of America.

“Just as in the human body, this constriction of the soil’s circulatory system can have ill effects. Blocked and narrowed pores likely impede the diffusion of air through bulk soil.

The dominance of vertical pipes in the compacted soil also suggests that water flows mostly downward, with relatively little reaching the surrounding soil matrix.”

The research is significant because these compacted soil cores had neither a long history of compaction nor the high degree of compaction seen in headland soil on the Prairies. It was actually quite the opposite, according to the society.

“These changes can reduce crop productivity,” it said.

“Most troubling was how lasting the impacts of compaction appear to be. The group examined soil cores taken from a depth of .3 to .4 meters in plots where 30 years earlier a heavy tractor-trailer drove over the ground four times in an experimental treatment. Untrafficked control plots were used as a reference.

“Despite all the elapsed time, macropores in the compacted subsoil were still highly altered compared with control soils, indicating a poor ability of this heavy clay soil to recover its original structure. What’s more, the damage was done by wheel loads that were considerably lower than those used in agriculture today.”

Gas diffusion and air permeability were measured when the Finnish soil cores were drained, and the air-filled pore space was measured with an air pycnometer. The compaction treatment had significantly lowered the volume fraction of air-filled macropores.

The compacted soil displayed significantly lower air permeability, while gas diffusivity was not affected.

The conclusion was that this was because of a compaction-induced reduction in the cross-sectional area of vertical arterial macropores and in the volume of marginal pores branching from these vertical pores.

NEW PRODUCTS

Don’t believe hype unless it’s backed by facts PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR

I

had never realized until this winter’s farm shows that there were so many ways to optimize, synergize, maximize, energize and revitalize my soil.

Those seemed to be the buzz words at many of the booths I visited.

However, I was also disturbed that the companies promoting these products were unable to show me data beyond the glossy side-by-side comparison shots and the ever present field results. In fact, most of the organizations seemed to have contempt for small plot research.

The facts are that unless properly designed, field scale research yields nothing more than pretty photos.

Many of these new glamour products are biological products. They contain living organisms that react differently with the vastly different soils and growing conditions in Western Canada.

Most biological products, outside of rhizobacteria on legumes, seem to work or perform as advertised 20 percent of the time.

For the other 80 percent of the time, they show little positive yield or quality responses and may show negative responses. The problem is that it is up to farmers, and not the manufacturer or seller, to determine if these products will work under their conditions.

Nutrition is the other group of new glamour products. They usually contain small amounts of macronutrients in various combinations with micronutrients.

Many of them claim to decrease stresses and maximize yields.

Some forms of macros, such as

Farmers can hear a confusing array of information and claims at trade shows. They can protect themselves with proper knowledge. | nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium and sulfur, are available for foliar uptake, but they tend to be costly.

Many studies have shown that the most efficient and cost effective way to apply macronutrients in most western Canadian conditions is to apply them before seeding, at seeding or shortly after seeding.

Studies have also found positive yield and economic responses to using micronutrients but only when there are nutrient deficiencies.

Farmers can take steps to determine if they might have a micronutrient deficiency: • Eliminate other possible causes of poor growth, such as drought,

flooding, salinity, disease, herbicide injury and shortages of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulfur.

• Take soil samples in areas of concern. These should be sampled at zero to six inches.

• Determine if a particular soil or crop is likely to be deficient in a micronutrient. Critical levels can be found in a variety of publications.

• Determine if crop visual symptoms are similar to typical deficiency symptoms for specific micronutrients.

If micronutrient deficiencies are suspected, take separate soil and tis-

sue samples from both affected and unaffected areas. Submit samples to a reputable lab for complete nutrient analysis.

Tissue sampling is general superior to soil analysis to confirm micronutrient deficiencies.

When indications suggest a micronutrient deficiency, apply them in field test strips. Evaluate crop recovery and yield compared to untreated areas.

Recent amendments to federal fertilizer regulations have removed regulatory requirements for efficacy and quality, which has created a bit of a wild west when it comes to the sale of these products.

Consider these points when buying

MEDICINE HAT BULL SALE

Optimism high at bull sale Grand champion Hereford bull sells for $35,000, while top selling Angus sells for $16,000

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — Prices at this year’s Medicine Hat bull sale were on pace with healthy bull sale prices seen in many locations this winter and spring.

The 73 Hereford bulls on offer averaged $9,023.39, and the 45 Angus bulls averaged $7,224.36 at a wellattended sale March 18.

The grand champion Hereford, MW Arrowwood 35A, consigned by Wyatt Farms of Arrowwood, Alta., was also the high seller at $35,000.

It was purchased by Rocking G Land and Cattle Co. of Gull Lake, Sask.

The reserve grand Hereford title was won by Little Poplar Grove Herefords of Forestburg, Alta., with LPG General 48U Lad 11A. That operation also won best three Hereford bulls and the best string award.

On the Angus side, Watson Cattle Co. of Medicine Hat had the grand champion red bull, Red Watson Avena3103A, which sold to Murray Lake Colony of Seven Persons, Alta., for $10,500.

The high-selling Angus, at $16,000, was consigned by BJ Cattle Co. of Del Bonita, Alta. BJ’s Harvestor 412 was purchased by Black Meadows Angus of Miniota, Man. Merle Wyatt of Wyatt Farms was pleased with his grand champion bull’s showing and sale price.

“All the cattle prices are excellent.

Everything sells good. It’s about time,” he said.

He and his wife, Neeltje, have 125 purebred Hereford and 40 purebred Charolais cows. They have been

showing at the Medicine Hat event for about 20 years and sell most of their bulls as two year olds.

“We don’t AI anymore. We used to AI 30 years ago but now we’re grain farming and we don’t have the time for AI. We try and buy the best bull that we can afford, to replace AI,” said Wyatt.

Wade and Jolene Watson were the first breeders to bring Red Angus to the Medicine Hat event. That was three years ago and good results were almost immediate. They won reserve grand champion Angus last year and grand champion this year.

Their next goal is to win best string of bulls, an honour voted upon by other consignors.

Wade Watson said the promise of their grand champion was evident from the start.

“That bull, we had good hopes for him all along. He was the kind of bull that we’d seen right from birth was going to be something really good.”

Watson Cattle Co. runs a breeding program designed to add stretch and length to animals and attain bulls with good foot structure and performance, said Watson.

The operation has 80 head of purebred Red Angus and another 200 head of commercial cows.

“Medicine Hat is always a good bull sale, and it’s very well supported by community pastures and by grazing associations,” Watson said.

“It’s always a very popular bull sale.”

BJ Scheirlinck of BJ Cattle Co., who had the high selling Angus and won the best string title, was pleased with his showing.

“It was fabulous. So far in the show, we had junior champion Angus bull

and ended up reserve overall, and his full brother won his class, and those two bulls were champion pair of bulls,” he said.

“I guess to top it off, the most fortunate thing that we did was they have an award for best string of bulls in the barn that’s voted on by all the contributors in the barn and we were fortunate enough to win it as well.”

the Alberta-Montana border with a herd of 70 cows.

“We don’t run a lot of numbers. We use AI and embryo work quite extensively, predominantly purebred Black Angus,” said Scheirlinck.

His father-in-law raised registered horned Herefords, which is how the ranch got into that breed as well. barb.glen@producer.com

FEDERAL MEAT PLANTS

Lamb slaughter laws restrict domestic, international trade

Lamb co-op wants to build plant on Prairies

Animals processed in provincial facilities have to be consumed in that province

BY DAN YATES

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Major grocery chains are reluctant to carry meat products processed in provincially licensed facilities, say officials in the sheep industry.

Regulations require that those products be consumed in the same province where the animals were killed, but that can cause problems for large distribution centres that ship products across several provinces.

In the case of lamb, it means consumers regularly see imported products on store shelves.

“It’s too difficult for them to segregate the product,” said Terry Ackerman, chief executive officer of Canadian Lamb Producers Cooperative, which is preparing to market a line of processed lamb products.

The Saskatoon-based co-op, which is also pursuing export markets, is working with a federally inspected plant in Ontario, one of only a few facilities that operate in three provinces.

“We’ve already presented our product to the majors and all of our products are coming in federally approved,” he said.

“It’s not that they don’t want to buy Canadian lamb, but they need to buy federally approved lamb because that’s the law of the land here.”

In a recent presentation to the House of Commons agriculture committee, Corlena Patterson, executive director of the Canadian Sheep Federation, said only 30 percent of Canadian lambs are processed in federal slaughter plants.

More than half of Canadian-born lambs are processed in Ontario, almost all in provincially inspected facilities, she added.

“That means that 48 percent of Canadian born lambs have to be consumed in Ontario and they remain unavailable to the rest of Canadian

TERRY ACKERMAN CANADIAN LAMB PRODUCERS CO-OPERATIVE

consumers,” she said.

Patterson said Canadian producers supply less than half of domestic consumption. Demand is projected to grow, but she said small lamb processors can’t afford the costs of changing to a federally licensed facility.

She called for greater harmonization of standards between the two systems.

“For the sheep sector, we of course don’t process the same number of animals, and not every facility can process every sort of livestock, so sheep processing facilities can be very specific to processing sheep but they have a lower capacity,” she said.

“So they often times can’t endure the cost of both becoming federally accredited and maintaining that accreditation.”

Ackerman said the differences between federal and provincial systems can be substantial, which makes it easier to build a new facility than to convert an existing one.

“You had better start at a (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) level or you won’t be approved for export. It just won’t happen,” he said.

“Provincial standards aren’t recognized by most countries. They’ll say, ‘well, sorry, you have to start from scratch,’ and that can cost you millions and millions of dollars.” dan.yates@producer.com

Prairie lamb producers have found themselves in a position where they must ship their animals to Ontario before fulfilling ambitious export plans.

The Canadian Lamb Producers Co-operative has developed lamb burgers, sausages, meatballs and kabobs and plans to market them abroad under its “Lamb” brand.

However, the lamb for these products must be processed at a federal slaughter plant, and options are few in Western Canada.

SunGold Specialty Meats in Innisfail, Alta., is the only federal plant processing lambs in Western Canada.

However, the co-op is using an Ontario facility for this initiative.

“There’s only one in Western Canada now and clearly there’s demand for two,” said Terry Ackerman, chief executive officer of the lamb co-op, which is an initiative of the Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board.

The Canadian Lamb Producers Co-operative has created several processed lamb products it hopes to export internationally. |

He said it would “make total sense” to process animals closer to the supply.

“Our objective is ultimately to build a plant in Western Canada,” said Ackerman.

The organization has used federal funding to develop an electronic meat grading system, which will help with traceability. It has also worked with the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre to develop its products and packaging.

The co-op says its processed products can fill a gap in the marketplace because major exporters such as New Zealand and Australia are focused on products with minimal processing.

These “value-added” products are seen as higher value.

“We can sometimes make more

money for our producers by exporting lamb burgers to the (Middle) East than we can by selling a rack of lambs to a local grocery store,” said Ackerman.

“Our mandate is to get the best return on investment for our producers’ meat. Oftentimes that requires export.”

Ackerman said the co-op has taken its products to several international trade shows and hopes to begin delivering products to U.S. distributors and retailers in September with exports to Europe, the Middle East and Asia to follow.

The development board represents 125 commercial sheep producers, who raise average flocks of 500 head. dan.yates@producer.com

HAY MARKETING

Alta. forage growers told to cater to horse owner needs

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OLDS, Alta. — Forage and hay producers who are looking to sell product should pay attention to Alberta’s horse industry, says Les Burwash, a horse industry specialist with Alberta Agriculture.

There are 200,000 to 250,000 horses in Alberta, and most of their owners buy hay rather than grow it. In fact, Burwash said the horse industry buys more hay than any other sector.

It doesn’t mean it is the biggest user by volume — that crown goes to the cattle industry — but many cattle producers are able to grow some of their feed needs, which is not the case for most of Alberta’s horse owners and more than 600 stable operators.

Burwash estimated that as much as 75 percent of all the hay fed to horses is purchased.

Horse owners and stable operators require hay free of mould and alsike clover and generally prefer smaller bales, an industry specialist with Alberta Agriculture told forage growers. | MIKE STURK PHOTO He told members of the Alberta Forage Industry Network March 12 that the key to hay sales to the horse industry is to offer early to mid-maturity hay that is baled at less than 17 percent moisture so it is free of mould.

“You’re going to be asked if it’s

going to be mouldy or not,” said Burwash.

Mould is a deal breaker for horse owners because of the equine health issues it can cause. As well, hay must be free of alsike clover because it can cause photosensitivity in horses.

Certain types of tall fescue can also create health issues for lactating mares.

Burwash reminded potential hay sellers that horse owners generally prefer to buy small square bales or hay cubes, as opposed to large round

or large square bales.

The reason is simple: most of them don’t have a tractor large enough to handle big bales.

A mature horse will consume 1.5 to two percent of its body weight in feed daily and most of that should be long forage.

Assuming the average horse weighs 1,000 pounds and eats two percent of its body weight daily, and estimating Alberta’s total horse herd at 225,000, that’s 4.5 million lb. of hay per day.

Multiply that by 365 days in a year, and “it’s a bunch of hay,” said Burwash.

Big as that number may be, it is shrinking. Burwash said Alberta horse numbers have dropped by 40 percent since 2008, though the province still has about one-third of all the horses in Canada. barb.glen@producer.com

BELLY NUTS

Improper castration causes animal health issues, economic losses

O

ne of the greatest potential setbacks for a feedlot is to deal with belly nuts, which are the result of an inadequate castration using rubber rings at birth.

The number of supposed steers

entering feedlots with this condition can be as high as 10 percent.

Solving this problem starts with the cow-calf producer.

Belly nuts cause many problems in the feedlot, both from an economic,

labour and death standpoint and as an animal welfare issue.

These animals are essentially being castrated a second time, and it is a much more difficult procedure when one or both testicles were missed

when the scrotum was removed using a band and the testicles are sitting up against the body.

There is also a higher risk of infection or death from blood loss, and these now large “staggy bulls” will need non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs because of their size and age.

A significant price reduction would most certainly be imposed on these animals if buyers could identify them.

Large feedlots in the United States won’t even deal with them. Instead, they return them to the auction barns, which is another significant cost to the industry.

There is no question that experienced people who castrate with a knife or scalpel during branding will make sure both testicles are removed. Calves that show up with a retained testicle shouldn’t be castrated. Instead, mark it to potentially do later when the other testicle may have descended.

Most castrations during branding are done with what veterinarians call a closed technique. They heal well and I can pretty much assume that both testicles are completely removed.

Producers who implant those calves can be assured of growth that is almost the equivalent to leaving them intact. As a result, it makes sense to castrate at a young age and then implant.

The problems occur when cow-calf producers band their calves at birth.

It is the only way testicles can get pushed up to the belly.

Producers who use this method should become familiar with the various ringing pliers and make sure two testicles are down in the scrotum. I know they can be difficult to pull down at times, and if that is commonly the case, producers may need to do it when the calves are a bit older or get a good knife castrator to do the job at spring processing.

It is vital that producers make sure two testicles are contained within the castration ring before it is released.

Producers who use the rings should double check themselves until they get good at it and cut the ring off and

ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM repeat the process if they miss.

A producer I know has developed a small instrument that is essentially a circle with a slit cut out of a thick piece of plastic. He drops the scrotum through the circle and slides the slit onto the neck of the scrotum to keep everything down. He can then easily band the calf, knowing that the testicles are contained below the device, which is then removed.

Producers who castrate this way should separate the calf from the cow so that they have enough time to do it right.

Problems with applying the rings may be caused by how the calf is being held or the size of the scrotum in some breeds. It may also be the result of weather conditions because unless calves are just born, colder temperatures will pull up their scrotum and testicles.

We often see cases where both testicles are retained, which either means someone is extremely careless or doing it on purpose. I hope the latter is not the case, but if it is, then presort sales, astute buyers, tags and brands may eventually identify those farms as the problem.

Palpating each steer between the legs at the feedlot is the only way to catch these belly nuts. This takes time, labour and a slow down every time one is found.

Markets also have the option of running guaranteed testicle free calves by palpating for them when they do the pre-sort sales. My guess is the true steers would garnish a high premium and these belly nuts would be heavily discounted.

RANCH WORK

Good help requires good equipment COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

’ve been planning a trip to Boston for a couple of months.

Actually, the invitation was for a meeting that was supposed to be held in February when they got their first epic blizzard and it was rescheduled.

I think they’ve had an epic blizzard every week out there this winter. It makes me glad to live somewhere with a reputation for nice winters, like North Dakota.

Being gone for a couple of days when we’re feeding cows means maintaining good relations with my wife, who will be feeding cows by herself in my absence. It also means maintaining good equipment to make sure the work goes as smooth as possible while I’m gone.

I guess that’s one of the reasons I bought a pretty modern loader tractor several years ago. I knew that I would occasionally be depending on others, such as my wife and friends and neighbors, who I would want to remain my wife or friend or friendly neighbor after they had done me a favour with chores.

As a result, I broke down and bought a tractor with a comfortable cab, a good heater, a nice radio, front wheel assist to help it out of any tight spots and all the little levers and knobs and joysticks that make it as easy to drive as a car and as fun to operate as a video game.

Really, that’s the only reason I bought it. It wasn’t for me. It was for them. If I get any joy or coziness out of running the outfit the 95 percent of the time that I’m in the seat, it’s just collateral, coincidental comfort.

When it’s -30 C and the heater has it warmed up so good in the cab that I take off my cap and gloves while I’m feeding, I just think to myself, how nice that will be for my wife and ranch partner when she’s in the same air ride seat.

So, it’s easy to understand my concern when just days before my departure, the front-wheel assist quit assisting and the loader joystick began requiring some extra wiggling for the electric toggle switch to make the grapple fork grap a bale. I drove it to the dealer’s shop in town, pronto, in hopes that it might get turned around and be back in service before I abandoned ship and boarded the airplane.

We do have the back-up loader tractor, and I quickly installed the new alternator that’s been sitting in its cardboard box since December to make things like starting the motor a little more effortless.

I checked the forecast, and if the nice weather stays like it’s supposed to, I think my replacement will be able to get by w ith the tractor replacement. Not having a good heater may be all right if the sun is shining and wind isn’t blowing.

If we don’t get a bunch of new snow, the two wheel drive should manage to get the job done. Somehow, cows on the ranch got fed for 100 years without

a four wheel drive tractor.

Still, I know our marriage will be stronger, and my trip will be more enjoyable, if I don’t get a text message in the middle of my meetings from my wife that says the tractor’s stuck, or it won’t start, or the radio wouldn’t tune into her favorite station without a lot of static.

If any of that happens, she probably won’t even be able to appreciate the new pitchfork handle I put on the pitchfork for the barn horses.

Landowners who also own their mineral rights may not know how to get the most from them.

Cameron Wyatt, a petroleum engineer and chief executive officer of Heritage Energy Corp. in Regina, connects buyers and sellers through MineralRights.ca “I saw an opportunity via discussion with colleagues, friends and family,” he said.

Wyatt, who has spent 15 years in the industry, grew up on a southeastern Saskatchewan farm amid the resource sector and where most of the freehold mineral rights are located.

He said that instead of waiting for energy companies to come to them and then taking a kitchen table offer that may or may not be a good one, landowners can engage his company to help them find prospective partners. Similarly, he said his company gives resource companies a way to find out which landowners are willing to do business.

The website allows landowners to advertise their rights to prospective resource companies, engage Wyatt’s company to obtain a valuation of the resource or find management partners.

Wyatt said landowners post their rights and see who is interested.

“We host silent auctions where resource companies bid for the lease or sale,” he said.

The company has hosted an auction every two months since it started in February 2014.

“It’s completely private,” Wyatt said.

He makes his money from what he describes as a “small listing fee” plus a percentage of bonus payments from the buyer and seller, but only if a successful deal has been negotiated.

Bonus payments are the upfront fee the buyer pays, while royalties are the percentage of gross income an owner would receive if and when mineral

Wyatt said landowners don’t necessarily choose the highest bidder.

They might choose a company already doing business in their area.

The company was set to begin taking delivery from farmers March 24.

The facility, which was announced in 2012, will be able to crush 2,500 tonnes of canola per day when operating at capacity.

The plant also includes two unloading lines, which can each move 500

tonnes per hour.

In a letter to local residents earlier this month, Cargill said construction was on target for completion this spring, with an official opening planned for an as yet unknown date in the summer.

Cargill is already contracting with

farmers, and the company’s communication department confirmed that it would begin taking seed deliveries March 24.

However, just when that seed will start to be processed and the time frame for ramping up to full capacity was not provided.

ECONOMIES OF SCOPE

Academic turned farmer on new path THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

A

lternative farmers are an eclectic bunch, but even in that group, Gert Janssens stands out as different.

The 38-year-old is a city guy from Belgium who became an economist to finance his “naïve” dream of raising cattle, Tamworth pigs, sheep, poultry and honey on a small farm in Québec.

If you want some out-of-the-box thinking, Janssens is your man.

“I always wanted to farm,” says the native of Antwerp.

“I don’t know why. I’m a city boy, right? But a lot of people believe alternative agriculture could save the world. I know it’s a naïve notion, but that was the idea we started with.”

He met his wife, Sarah Hui, while travelling abroad, and they dreamed of farming in her home province of Quebec. The tricky bit was figuring out how.

“I knew I’d need a lot of money to farm, and that farming wouldn’t pay enough,” says Janssens. “So I went back to school to be able to farm.”

The couple scrimped and saved for a dozen years while Janssens earned his masters degree in Belgium. A faculty position at Montréal’s Dawson College allowed them to buy a 400-acre farm 40 kilometres east of Sherbrooke, and in 2011 they started Ferme D’Orée.

Having worked so hard to get started, Janssens jokes he is almost fanatical about finances, rigorously analyzing each enterprise.

“People in alternative agriculture tend to be newer to farming and, in general, more aware of their costs,” he says.

“A lot of farmers say, ‘well, it’s not going too bad.’ But they’re not counting all their costs. So they’re working a lot and making very little, aside from the appreciation of the farm.”

What he admires about mainstream operations is their efficiency.

“Conventional farms are way more productive, way more organized, and way more efficient.”

However, they also have a fundamental problem, Janssens adds.

“A large group of farmers are selling commodities to a few companies with a lot of market power.

They’re buying fertilizer, seed and machinery from a very small group of very big firms, too. So they’re in the middle, getting squeezed like a lemon, and they have to grow all the time to survive.”

In contrast, Ferme D’ORee has many customers and they pay premium prices because the farm, although not certified organic, doesn’t use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, hormones or antibiotics. Its business model also relies on economies of scope, the lesser-known cousin of economies of scale.

“Economies of scope is when you use the same process to do two different things,” says Janssens.

There’s a production aspect to this line of thinking, such as pigs rooting (and fertilizing) old pastures to prepare the ground for reseeding.

But the big payoff is in marketing.

“We deliver all kinds of meat to our clients. They don’t have to go to us for beef and someone else for pork or chicken.”

And because customers are buying a lot at once, Janssens can distribute his meat at drop-off locations with two evening runs once a month.

Production is still small: 25 calves, 150 lambs, 100 pigs and six barrels of honey last year.

But the farm is profitable and revenue has doubled every year. Further expansion is planned.

“Small may be beautiful, but it will not remain beautiful for very long if owners are not aptly compensated for their hard work,” he says.

“The main thing for us is to follow the client base. As it grows, we add product. But we always run out because we’re too scared to grow too fast.”

Janssens and Hui have created a different way of farming by asking two key questions: what is my advantage and will this still be a winning strategy in the future?

Janssens pays as much attention to the future as the here-and-now. That’s a smart strategy for any business.
