Gov’t ends rail targets

Glyphosate’s time far from over: researcher

Few pleased with the end of shipping mandate

Controversy heightens as WHO classifies herbicide a probable carcinogen BRANDON BUREAU

A recent decision by the World Health Organization to classify glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans may have given the herbicide’s critics more ammunition, but weed scientists say it’s not the end of the debate.

Peter Sikkema, a University of Guelph weed scientist, said he isn’t concerned about the long-term future of the herbicide.

Sikkema, who pointed out that he isn’t a toxicologist, said the weight of science suggests glyphosate isn’t a threat to human health.

“If there are a hundred studies that show that glyphosate is safe to use and there’s one that shows it’s unsafe … I think that glyphosate is a safe molecule to use for weed management,” he said.

Ottawa’s decision to end weekly grain shipping targets is receiving mostly negative reviews this week from Western Canada’s farmers and agricultural shippers.

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan said it was disappointed in Ottawa’s decision, suggesting the federal government should have renewed and strengthened the order.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association said it supports Ottawa’s decision to end the targets, but it added that Western Canada’s grain shipping system still needs “a significant overhaul” to avoid a repeat of problems faced in the past 16 months.

The Western Grain Elevators Association, which represents Western Canada’s largest grain companies, said it was not surprised by Ottawa’s decision, but it urged the federal government to focus on finding longterm solutions to chronic rail service issues.

And in Manitoba, officials from Keystone Agricultural Producers said they would have preferred to see Ottawa retain the mandatory volume requirements and add additional volume requirements for unregulated corridors to the United States and Eastern Canada.

Canadian National Railway said it supports Ottawa’s decision.

DISEASE MANAGEMENT

BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION

Fight fusarium with rotation, fungicide

Broadacre debt tally grows

Genetic resistance to fusarium headblight is still lacking, says researcher

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WATROUS, Sask. — There’s good news and bad news when it comes to fusarium head blight.

Many Saskatchewan fields are still recovering from several years of saturated soils, and farmers can expect to see the disease again this year, says Stewart Brandt of the Northeast Agriculture Research Foundation in Melfort, Sask.

However, while genetic resistance to fusarium head blight isn’t as strong in wheat varieties as it is for other diseases such as stem rust, researchers have been honing fungicide timings with positive results.

“The challenge really is to select a variety with all of those desirable traits, yield lodging protein content disease and insect resistance,” Brandt told an agronomy workshop in Watrous, Sask., last week.

“I would suggest that when it comes to fusarium head blight, you probably want to put more weight into some of these other factors than you do into fusarium head blight resistance.”

He cited trial data that found two varieties, Unity VB and Shaw VB, responded similarly following fungicide applications, despite Unity’s better rating.

“My suggestion would be maybe we should be just picking a variety with good yield potential and protect it with fungicides,” said Brandt.

More data is needed on newer varieties such as Car berry, he added.

Fusarium damaged kernels can result in downgraded crops. | Saskatchewan Agriculture says a two-year break from wheat in a rotation is preferred to help control the disease because the fungus can overwinter in stubble.

“I suspect that in areas where fusarium head blight is a serious problem, the economic loss associated with grade loss is far larger than the yield loss,” said Brandt.

“Certainly in the area around Melfort … that’s the impression that we get.”

Shorter canola-wheat rotations

have been identified as a contributing factor in spreading the disease, which thrives in moist, warm conditions at the heading stage. “ E x t e n d i n g i t o n e m o re y e a r between wheat crops will have a big impact on a lot of diseases, but the question is, what’s the relative importance of extending rotations one more year or two more years compared to fungicides, compared with some of the other practices we might use?” said Brandt.

“I know it’s better. How much better

is it? Will it improve quality by one grade level? I can’t answer that.

Those are the kinds of things we need to address because those I think are becoming more critical issues now than, ‘when should I put my fungicide on.’ We know some of those answers.”

Fungicide applications are advised if growers have experienced losses to the disease in recent years or forecasts are favourable for it to prosper.

Brandt said research conducted through the province’s Agri-ARM program had determined that a fungicide application at 75 percent head emergence to 50 percent bloom is usually just as effective or better than an application at the flag leaf stage.

Applying at head emergence resulted in yields averaging 70 bu. per acre in 21 comparisons over 11 location years. The application at flag averaged 65.5 bu. per acre, while the untreated crops yielded 61.2 bu. per acre.

Researchers also found results that discouraged dual applications, with some exceptions. Brandt said low plant density that resulted in a broad range of emergence can make a single application difficult to time.

“Dual fungicide applications are usually not better than single applications, but there are cases where they are, and one of those might be glume blotch or wherever you know in advance that you have severe fusarium pressure.” dan.yates@producer.com

The list of creditors in the Broadacre Agriculture bankruptcy protection case continues to grow.

There are now 105 claims for a total of $78.6 million, up from the original total of $46 million, according to the third report from the monitor, PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“The monitor and its counsel are continuing to work with Broadacre and certain creditors to evaluate and process the remaining claims,” the monitor said in the report.

Broadacre was one of the biggest farms in Saskatchewan’s history. It was incorporated in 2010 as a company that would buy large tracts of land and exploit the economies of scale associated with running a massive farming operation.

The company made a big splash with the 2012 purchase of Wigmore Farms and its 40,000 acres of leased and owned farmland in southern Saskatchewan. The goal of the firm was to farm more than 200,000 acres. Instead, it owned 9,000 acres and leased 56,000 acres in Saskatchewan when it was placed under bankruptcy protection.

The monitor has approved 38 claims worth $22.3 million. It has disallowed 57 claims valued at $3.5 million. An unspecified number of claims worth $11.7 million have been partially accepted. Another 10 land lease, secured and unsecured claims worth $41.1 million have yet to be reviewed.

The monitor did not respond to interview requests seeking clarification on the claims process. sean.pratt@producer.com

RAIL TARGETS END » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “Canada’s grain supply chain is fully back in sync in all corridors, and CN continues its record-setting grain movements in the 2014-15 crop year,” the company said.

The federal government announced March 28 that it will not renew an order requiring Canada’s two largest railway companies to move minimum amounts of grain each week or face fines as high as $100,000 per week for non-compliance.

Grain shippers across the West are now watching to see how service will be affected.

Ottawa introduced mandatory volume requirements for grain in March 2014, at a time when the flow of prairie grain had slowed to a crawl and millions of tonnes of grain were backed up at country elevators across the West.

In a joint statement issued last weekend, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and federal transport minister Lisa Raitt said overall grain movements have improved.

Projected grain carryouts entering the 2015-16 crop year should be “within the average range historically,” the ministers said.

However, Ottawa warned that mandatory volume requirements could be reintroduced if the grain supply chain “compromises farmers livelihoods, the economy or Canada’s international reputation as a reliable shipper.”

Ritz and Raitt also said improvements to the federal Grain Monitoring Program, combined with new data being collected by the Ag Transport Coalition, will result in greater transparency and “help individual shippers make business decisions.”

As of March 28, the Grain Monitor-

ing Program begin publishing grain movement and railway performance data on a monthly basis.

In addition, it will also begin monitoring: • Movements of western Canadian grain on unregulated corridors to the United States, Mexico and Eastern Canada.

• The size of railway fleets serving the grain industry.

• Unloading delays at port terminals caused by either a lack of terminal staff or lack of grain cars to unload.

• Railway performance in terms of rail car order fulfillment.

James Battershill, general manager at KAP, said his organization is pleased that the government has recognized the need for improved monitoring and enhanced data collection.

He said the amount of Manitoba grain and specialty crops shipped south to markets in the U.S. and Mexico has fallen off substantially over the past year.

Recent data collected by the Ag Transport Coalition suggests that more than a third of the car order requests submitted by southern corridor shippers in the 2014-15 crop year are still outstanding.

In a March 30 statement, APAS vicepresident Arlynn Kurtz said Ottawa’s decision to let the minimum volume requirements expire will affect all producers in the province. “ P ro d u c e r s c o nt i nu e t o f a c e incredibly reduced revenues at local elevators, unreliable service and cash flow constraints at a time when we are preparing for our most significant capital investment time of the growing year.”

GLYPHOSATE RISKS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “I do not expect it will be removed from the market…. My intuition is that it will remain an effective weed management tool for many years in the future.”

Carol Mallory-Smith, a weed scientist at Oregon State University, said there’s little doubt that the herbicide is becoming more controversial.

“Even without this (WHO) report, there are more and more people, in the public, concerned about glyphosate.”

Campaigners who dislike industrial agriculture and biotechnology have targeted glyphosate because it is applied to genetically modified, herbicide tolerant crops, MallorySmith said.

The antagonism toward glyphosate is probably also connected to its dominance.

According to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report, glyphosate represented 51 percent of all pesticides used in America in 2007. Mallory-Smith said farmers and the agricultural community are guilty when it comes to over-using the pesticide.

“I’ve certainly spoken out about the misuse of glyphosate … and not using it in a sustainable manner,” she said.

“There are people who are very concerned about using as many pounds as have been used … and what are the (impacts) in the environment.”

Still, Mallory-Smith said restricting or regulating agricultural use of glyphosate would not work.

Sikkema agreed, noting regulations

SOIL TESTING

would be impossible to manage and enforce.

“I think we need to change the way we’ve used glyphosate. We’ve overused (the) technology. That’s quite well accepted,” he said. “(But) I’m not a proponent for regulations …. (saying) you can only use glyphosate once every two years on a given piece of ground, or something like that.”

Rene Van Acker, a University of Guelph professor of plant science and a weed management expert, said the WHO decision is troubling, but weeds that develop resistance to glyphosate are probably a greater threat to the herbicide’s future in agriculture.

More than 30 weed species have developed resistance to glyphosate, according to the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds.

Van Acker said farmers could carry on without glyphosate if the herbicide slowly became less effective.

“If we lost it over time because of resistant weeds … farmers would adapt over time and things would evolve,” he said. “If it was removed all of a sudden, that would be very difficult. We depend on it very highly.”

Mallory-Smith isn’t particularly worried about glyphosate’s future.

Farmers would have to alter production practices if it was banned or became redundant because of weed resistance, but it wouldn’t be a fullblown catastrophe.

When in doubt, dig deeper Expert says nutrients can vary within small areas and across fields, so take samples in spring and use multiple soil samples for best results

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WATROUS, Sask. — Sometimes farmers need to dig a little deeper, says a University of Saskatchewan soil scientist.

A six-inch soil test will give farmers a good read on things like phosphorus and potassium, but other micronutrients are more mobile.

“I think it’s always, especially under wet conditions, a good idea to occasionally check below the top foot,” he said.

“In other words, go down to the 12 to 24 inch depth occasionally and check for that deep nitrate and deep sulfate,” Jeff Schoenau told an agronomy workshop in Watrous last week, noting many growers soil test at zero to 12 inches as a compromise.

“You want to be able to account for that. It (the nutrients) may not be available to your crop right away, but once the water starts to move to

where the roots are, it’s going to carry some of that … with it.”

He said farmers can get accurate soil tests in the fall when soil begins to cool, but when there’s a large runoff or leeching, producers can benefit from a spring sample.

Soil tests will benefit producers who had water issues the previous year, he added.

Schoenau said growers can expect to see lower nitrogen levels in fields that were too wet to seed and that remained waterlogged throughout the 2014 season. He said more nitrogen will become available because of mineralization if those areas dry up this year.

“If you have a field that part of it didn’t end up getting seeded, or a whole field or even these small areas within that field, they’re candidates certainly for changing the rate of fertilizer to be added,” said Schoenau, who recommended

sampling and managing these areas separately.

“Adjusted fertilizer rates can pay off in those areas with better fertilizer efficiency and subsequently improved return on the dollar.”

Schoenau said nutrients vary dramatically both in small areas and across fields, citing residual fertilizer bands in no-till systems as a factor. This means multiple samples are needed to create a composite that is a “reasonable representation.”

He said producers should take at least 10 to 15 samples on an 80 acre field.

“There’s no way that you can go out into a field and take two or three cores out of that field and anticipate it to be very representative of that field,” he said.

“It’s going to take a few more than that.” dan.yates@producer.com

Why research methodology matters

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

the United Nations agency for a lack of balance.

They said the report ignored an abundance of papers showing that glyphosate is not carcinogenic.

Instead, it focused on a few marginal studies showing that glyphosate promotes tumours in mice and epidemiological studies linking the herbicide to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Aaron Blair, a scientist emeritus at the National Cancer Institute who led the IARC group of 17 experts, told Reuters that the classification is scientifically appropriate.

He said there might be hundreds of studies on glyphosate, but concerns about the herbicide are mounting.

“We looked at, ‘is there evidence that glyphosate causes cancer?’ and the answer is ‘probably.’ That is different than yes.”

Solomon said the conclusion contradicts scientific consensus.

National regulator y agencies around the globe have evaluated glyphosate and concluded the weed killer is not a human health risk. As an example, a recent German report concluded that glyphosate is probably not a carcinogen.

Solomon said he would reserve final judgment until IARC publishes a comprehensive report on its decision, which will be released in about a year.

There are two primary ways to evaluate the cancer risk of a chemical or agent : one is a hazard-based approach and the other is risk-based.

A U.S. toxicologist says the United Nations’ World Health Organization used the hazard approach to reach its conclusion that glyphosate probably causes cancer.

He said the methodology is flawed because it doesn’t account for real world conditions.

“In the last 25 to 30 years, or even longer perhaps, a hazard-based approach to evaluation of chemicals is fundamentally one which … is an outdated process,” said James Bus, senior managing scientist for toxicology and mechanistic biology with Exponent, a U.S. scientific consulting firm.

A working group of 17 experts at the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a report March 20 on the carcinogenicity of glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup.

IARC experts reviewed scientific papers on glyphosate and glyphosate formulations and concluded that it is “probably carcinogenic.”

Bus and other experts have questioned the IARC decision because it contradicts reports from government agencies and independent scientists showing that glyphosate is not a carcinogen.

Bus, who is a past president of the Society of Toxicology, a fellow of the Academy of Toxicological Sciences and former president of the American Board of Toxicology, said IARC is aware of the limitations of its report.

Aaron Blair, a former researcher with the U.S. National Cancer Institute who chaired the IARC working group, said on National Public Radio that it used the hazard approach to evaluate glyphosate.

Bus said that piece of information is crucial. “In other words, they’re asking the question, is it possible that glyphosate might be a carcinogen, regardless of the conditions of exposure that you might encounter … in the real world.”

Bus said most scientists and regulatory agencies now use a risk-based approach, which considers realistic dosages and real life conditions.

Those studies show that farmers and farm families are exposed to significantly low doses of the herbicide.

As an example, researchers have monitored farmers’ urine samples to assess glyphosate exposure levels.

“If you inhaled it or was on your skin or somehow you ingested it, all of that glyphosate is … going to come out in your urine,” Bus said.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has established a reference dose of two milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. Anything over that level could be hazardous to human health.

The highest detected level in a farmer’s urine in those studies was .004 mg per kg per day, which is hundreds of times lower than the reference dose, Bus said.

“That’s the key element of the conversation that IARC doesn’t put on the table, as part of its evaluation,” he said.

Toxicologist pans glyphosate report ‘They (IARC) got this totally wrong,’ says Canadian pesticide researcher Keith Solomon

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Canadian toxicologist says the World Health Organization made a critical scientific error in its decision to classify glyphosate as a probable carcinogen.

A panel of experts with the WHO’s International Agency for Research (IARC) on Cancer released a report March 20 on five pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used pesticide in the world.

After reviewing the scientific literature, the experts classified glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup, as Group 2A: probably carcinogenic to humans.

In a brief statement explaining the new designation, the scientists cited a number of research papers, such as a study on rural Colombians who were exposed to a spray of Roundup.

IARC said the study demonstrated that glyphosate can cause genotoxicity, or DNA damage, and cause cellular mutations that may result in cancer.

“One study (of ) community residents reported increases in blood markers of chromosomal damage (micronuclei) after glyphosate formulations were sprayed nearby,” the report said.

Keith Solomon, a University of Guelph professor emeritus and a globally recognized authority on pesticides, said the conclusion is “totally wrong.”

Solomon wrote the Colombian

CANCER RISK GROUPS The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies substances and agents into five groups according to cancer risk.

• Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans.

• Group 2A: Probably carcinogenic to humans.

• Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans.

• Group 3: Not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.

• Group 4: Probably not carcinogenic to humans.

Examples of agents in Group 1 are asbestos, alcoholic beverages and working as a painter.

Examples of agents in Group 2A are working as a hair stylist and burning wood in a fireplace.

study.

“They stated there was evidence of genotoxicity and they quoted one paper to support that statement,” Solomon said. “ T h e r e ’s n o e v i d e n c e t h a t glyphosate is genotoxic.”

Solomon and an international team of scientists conducted a study on glyphosate in Colombia in the early 2000s as part of a Colombian government program to destroy illegal coca fields in the countryside.

Coca is used to produce cocaine.

Solomon and his colleagues were asked to do a risk assessment of the human health and environmental risks associated with the coca eradication program.

The scientists took blood samples from Colombian volunteers who were exposed to glyphosate when government planes sprayed coca fields.

To assess the likelihood of DNA damage, they tested for the presence of “genotoxicity biomarkers” in the volunteers’ blood, known as micronuclei.

“All we were interested in was, does the spraying of the coca cause increased micronuclei,” Solomon said.

The scientists took blood samples four months later because that’s approximately how long it would take to replace the white blood cells exposed to glyphosate. Solomon and his team then compared the results to a group of rural residents who weren’t exposed to the airplane spray.

“When we looked at the differences in the micronuclei between those two groups, we found no difference,” he said.

“They (IARC) got this totally wrong. They said the study showed there was a relationship…. It’s certainly a different conclusion than the one we came to.”

Solomon isn’t the only scientist to speak out against the IARC decision. A number of toxicologists and pesticide experts have criticized

With high quality stocks in short supply following last fall’s harvest, Statistics Canada forecasts an 11 percent jump in Canadian durum acres this spring. | FILE PHOTO ACREAGE

Market may change durum outlook While a significant jump in durum acres is expected, falling prices may have growers thinking twice

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Durum acreage will be one of the first numbers Bruce Burnett looks at when Statistics Canada releases its planting intentions report April 23.

He is forecasting a 15 to 20 percent increase in acres, which is more than Agriculture Canada’s 11 percent projection.

However, the CWB’s weather and crop specialist has a sneaking suspicion growers might fool everybody.

“Right now I think farmers, in talking with them, are a little disappointed over what new crop durum bids are,” said Burnett.

Bids are in the $6 to $6.50 per bushel range, which is less than half of where prices were in fall and a small 50 cents to $1 per bu. premium over spring wheat bids.

He doesn’t know if that is enough to entice growers to plant durum because there have been some pretty decent prices for pulses, special crops and malting barley.

There were also a lot of disease problems with last year’s durum crop, so quality seed is in short supply, which could be another limiting factor.

Burnett said durum stocks are squeezed around the globe.

“High quality stocks are even tighter, so I think basically this year is just going to be about trying to replenish those supplies,” he said.

The supply situation will be “quite interesting” if Canadian farmers do not plant as much durum as analysts are anticipating and yields return to normal after a couple of years of above average production, he added.

“We have to produce a fairly sizeable durum crop and especially we need to produce more quality durum this year to meet market demand.”

Durum seeding in the United States is expected to be up 25 percent from a particularly low level last year.

Durum crops are in good shape in North Africa, the Middle East and the European Union.

There was some dryness in Morocco and southern Spain in the middle of January, but both countries have received rain in the last couple of weeks, which improved the situation.

Eastern parts of North Africa have also received good rain.

“It’s pretty good timing on that because you’re just right at the filling

IN THE FIELD Durum acreage is expected to the largest amount in several years thanks to tight stocks and attractive prices.

stage,” said Burnett.

He is expecting an average to above average crop in North Africa, the Middle East and the EU. “All of those areas seem to be in reasonably good condition and we’re probably going to see demand from that region drop off a bit.”

The International Grains Council forecasts 36.4 million tonnes of global durum production, which is an 11 percent increase over last year’s output, largely because it expects better planting conditions in North America.

However, the council does not forecast much improvement in ending

stocks, which are expected to be at a 20-year low of 4.4 million tonnes at the end of 2014-15. That’s because customers will be restocking depleted inventories.

“Global stocks at the end of 2015-16 are tentatively seen climbing by two percent to 4.5 million tonnes, still one-third less than the average in the previous five years,” the council said in its March 26 Grain Market Report.

Burnett said harvest of overseas durum crops will begin in three to six weeks, depending on the region. He will be watching weather conditions closely because untimely rain could damage quality.

Prospects for early seeding in North America should boost the potential for a good quality durum crop in that important production region. Burnett expects growers to be seeding one to two weeks earlier than normal and about three weeks earlier than last year.

Fields in southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta appear to be in good shape heading into spring. As a result, farmers should be able to get a nice head start on seeding once it warms up. sean.pratt@producer.com

It remains a mystery to some in the pulse industry why lentil production seems to stop at the SaskatchewanAlberta border.

“That’s an enigma. I’ve asked the same question,” said Neil Whatley, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture.

Lentils are primarily grown in Saskatchewan’s brown and dark brown soil zones.

Those same soil zones also extend across southern and central Alberta, yet the lentil production in that province is a fraction of what it is in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan growers planted three million acres of the crop last year, compared to 110,000 acres seeded in Alberta.

The contrast isn’t nearly as stark with peas: 2.5 million acres in Saskatchewan and 1.2 million in Alberta.

So why have peas caught on in Alberta while lentils haven’t?

“I don’t know,” said Whatley.

Leanne Fischbuch, executive director of Alberta Pulse Growers, doesn’t have a good explanation either.

She said Alberta growers are unfamiliar with the crop and may be concerned about its short stature, but the same could be said about Saskatchewan growers at one time.

One plausible explanation is that growers have more rocks to contend with in Alberta, so they don’t like short crops that are difficult to harvest.

“Alberta is created near the mountains so we do have a tendency to have rocks show up in spots in our fields on a regular basis,” said Fischbuch.

The association wants pulses to comprise 15 percent of the province’s crop production by 2020, up from five percent today.

In an effort to boost lentil production, the association is funding an Alberta Agriculture research project it hopes will encourage growers to try the crop.

Researchers are experimenting with nitrogen fertilizer rates, seeding rates and herbicide application rates on Clearfield lentil varieties in St. Albert, Killam, Brooks, Lethbridge and Falher.

Almost all lentil production occurs in southeastern Alberta near the Trans-Canada Highway. Fischbuch hopes the new research will help growers expand their horizons.

“Part of our hope is that growers will get a chance to tour these sites and take a look at lentils and maybe have that additional exposure to the crop,” she said.

LENTILS: A SASK. CROP?

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Whatley believes some of the new varieties of red lentils on the market will boost the profile of the crop with Alberta growers. “ Th ere ha s b een re markab l e improvement in lentil genetics in recent years contributing to an increase in grower satisfaction,” he said in a recent news release from Alberta Agriculture that encouraged growers to give lentils another shot.

Whatley thinks a lot of growers were turned off when they experimented with Laird and Eston green lentils years ago because those crops are indeterminate.

If there is adequate moisture and nitrogen in the soil, they keep growing and do not set seed.

“They kind of went to that lentil hay thing,” Whatley said in an interview.

The new lines of red lentils are more determinate and could be grown in Alberta’s thin black soil zone, which tends to have more soil moisture than the brown soil zones.

Whatley said growers may not know that Clearfield varieties are on the market, such as CDC Maxim CL and CDC Dazil CL, which are tolerant to Group 2 herbicides such as Odyssey.

“These varieties have good resist a n c e t o t h e o n c e d e v a s t at i n g ascochyta blight disease, and Maxim, for example, has good resistance to both ascochyta and anthracnose, the most common foliar lentil diseases,” he said.

Whatley said the new red lentil varieties are well adapted to Alberta’s brown, dark brown and thin black soil zones, are higher yielding than traditional varieties and have thicker and stronger stems that minimize lodging issues.

He believes Alberta’s lentil acreage will continue to expand this year, just like it did in 2013 and 2014.

Alberta growers planted a record amount of lentils in 2014 but it is a far cry from what was seeded in Saskatchewan.

The Canadian lentil crop could reach 3.6 million acres this year, with most of the crop coming from Saskatchewan farmers. | FILE PHOTO “Given lentils’ current high price and its continually positive rotation effects as a grain legume, it appears to be another good crop option in 2015,” said Whatley.

Analysts are forecasting a big jump in Canadian lentil acres.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, is predicting a record 3.6 million acres in 2015, 16 percent more than last year.

Marlene Boersch, managing partner with Mercantile Consulting Ven-

ture, is forecasting a minimum 13 percent hike in lentil planting.

Whatley said one factor might prevent some growers from planting the crop this year in certain regions of Alberta.

“That Drumheller area is a pretty

prime lentil growing area, but they’ve had some problems with root rot in peas,” he said.

Some of those root rot species can also attack lentils, so growers might shy away from planting the crop in infected areas.

Wes Reid, purchasing manager with W.A. Grain and Pulse Solutions, an Alberta pulse processer, also expects the recent pulse acreage trend to continue because the cash price for the crop is about 37 cents per pound and new crop bids are up to 27 cents.

“Before these last two years, the lentil price was sitting down in the 18 to 19 cent range and for Alberta farmers that doesn’t pay,” he said.

He believes international demand for the crop will be strong in 2015-16 because India’s red lentil crop is in trouble and supplies are constrained in other important markets such as Turkey. sean.pratt@producer.com

Japanese buyers willing to wait for quality wheat Weakened gluten strength and transportation have been issues for buyers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Japanese buyers appreciate Canada’s efforts to deal with grain reliability problems, says Cereals Canada president Cam Dahl.

Weakened gluten strength in wheat, delays at port and crop quality problems have caused concerns in Japan, but the fact that Canada is addressing them keeps buyers satisfied.

“They do understand what had happened and had actually expressed appreciation on the transportation front for the effort that Canada is making to correct this problem,” said Dahl, who just returned from meeting with Japanese buyers.

Japan is a steady customer for Canadian wheat, durum and malting barley and is one of the biggest and highest-paying markets.

The country’s demand changes little from year to year, unlike China, where demand can surge and wane.

In 2013-14 Japan imported 1.59 million tonnes of wheat.

Japan requires top quality product, but that has been hard to deliver for the past few years. Transportation problems in 2013-14, crop damage problems this crop year and weakening gluten strength in Canada Western Red Spring wheat have given

millers and bakers headaches.

However, Dahl said Canada is recovering, and Japanese millers and bakers seem pleased with the progress.

“Japan is a long-term, steady, very important, high-quality customer, so it’s important to continue to build these relationships and to sit down to listen to what they have to say,” said Dahl.

The gluten strength issue has sparked increased research on the interaction of wheat varieties and the weather. As well, marketers, grain companies and farmers are more aware that some CWRS varieties are poorer in gluten strength than others.

The Canadian Grain Commission is also exploring what it can do to limit the danger of low-gluten strength varieties upsetting customers who expect better.

“That is one of the drivers behind the review of wheat classifications and

proposals to tighten up the requirements for the CWRS class,” said Dahl.

“Even though we had a difficult year this year on the quality front, that is one of the things we see correcting.”

The CGC is proposing a that the quality criteria for CWRS be tightened and that a new milling wheat class be created for varieties with lower gluten levels Harvest, Lillian and Unity have been identified as potential candidates for reclassification.

Durum quality is also a problem for Japanese millers this year, which is no surprise after 2014’s crop production problems.

“We knew that,” said Dahl.

“There just wasn’t the No. 1 and No. 2 durum around. It just isn’t there.

Hopefully Mother Nature will be kinder to us next year.”

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was with Dahl in Japan, and Dahl said the government’s action to force better rail service had been noticed.

“They do understand what had happened and had actually expressed appreciation on the transportation front for the effort that Canada is making to correct this problem,” he said. ed.white@producer.com

ALL ABOUT GLUTEN • Gluten strength is an important factor in bread baking performance. It contributes to the ability of dough to rise and maintain its shape as it is baked.

It also gives it its chewy texture • Gluten is a protein composite that accounts for 75% to 85% of the total protein content in bread wheat.

• Gluten proteins are the most important protein group in bread making. They form when water is added to flour and mixed. A continuous network of protein forms, giving the dough its strength and elasticity.

• By holding gas produced during fermentation, the protein network allows bread to rise. It also allows the dough to maintain its shape.

USDA hog report confirms herd growth as pig virus eases (Reuters) — The U.S. hog herd on March 1 was seven percent larger than the previous year, a U.S. Department of Agriculture report showed.

Analysts said it reflected producer profitability and less-severe porcine epidemic diarrhea virus losses.

The report weighed on nearby Chicago hog futures contracts, but it also indicated the herd growth might slow later in the year, providing support to contracts late in the year.

Hog farmers expanded their herds, thanks to vaccines and tighter biosecurity measures that mostly eliminated the PED virus, which wiped out an estimated nine million pigs since May 2013, they said.

The USDA report showed the U.S. hog herd as of March 1 at 107 percent of the year-ago level, at 65.934 million head, the largest total for that period since 66.718 in 2008.

Analysts had expected 65.676 million head, a 6.8 percent increase.

The U.S. breeding herd was up two percent, at 5.982 million head, com-

American hog operations posted a new record for the December to February quarter of 10.17 pigs per litter, up from 9.53 in the quarter a year ago. | FILE PHOTO pared with average trade expectations for 3.6 percent increase.

The March 1 supply of marketready hogs for sale to packers was up eight percent at 59.953 million head.

Analysts, on average, expected a 7.2 percent increase, or 59.650 million.

The USDA’s pigs per litter category,

which is the most affected by the virus, was at 10.17 pigs during the December to February period, up seven percent from a year ago. The result topped the record for that period of 10.08 pigs in 2013.

“The report is short-term bearish and long-term bullish,” said Univer-

sity of Missouri economist Ron Plain, who cited the huge year-over-year jump in the market hog inventory result versus a smaller-than-expected breeding herd outcome.

The market hog increase was likely a result of more pigs that survived PED than anticipated, he said.

Don Roose, an analyst with Iowabased U.S. Commodities, said the data sent a signal that the industry is in “full blown” expansion mode.

However, he said growth will likely slow based on the surprising decline in the expected June-August farrowing figure. Farrowings refer to sows expected to give birth.

Farrowings for June-August are expected to fall to 2.927 million, down two percent from the same period last year.

The USDA survey suggests plentiful supplies through the summer, analysts said. Prices in the second half of the year should be supported based on easing production beginning in late summer 2015, analysts said.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS FALL Ample supply and lacklustre demand continued to weigh down hog prices.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s March 1 hogs and pigs report showed the market hog inventory was up eight percent from last year at the same time, weighing on nearby prices. However, the breeding herd was up less than expected at two percent, which will support prices later in the year.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$43 per hundredweight March 27, down from $45 March 20.

U.S. hogs averaged $55.28 on a carcass basis March 27, down from $56.90 March 20. The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $65.35 per cwt. March 27, down from $68.03 March 20.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to March 28 was 2.270 million, up from 2.237 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.031 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY

CANFAX REPORT FED PRICES CLIMB In what has become unusual, four major Canadian and American packers bought western Canadian cattle last week.

Fed steers averaged $197.37 per hundredweight, up 59 cents, and heifers were $196.48, up $2.47.

Dressed sales rallied $7-$10 at mostly $329-$332 delivered.

Alberta packers had to increase bids to procure cattle and compete with the American buyers.

Sales to the United States were US$267 dressed.

The cash-to-futures basis weakened to -$5.07 but remained strong for this time of year.

In the U.S., light live trade developed late in the week at prices $2 higher in the south at US$165 live.

A few dressed sales were reported

in the north at $263 delivered, up $3-$4 from the previous week.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter to March 21 rose 12 percent to 33,485 head. For the year, slaughter is down two percent at 330,189 head.

Weekly exports to March 14 rose 16 percent to 7,412 head, which is the most this year.

Exports for the year are down 44 percent at 46,546 head. Marketings in April are expected to moderate. Market ready calves are not expected to hit the show list until early May. Packer-owned inventories have tightened.

The strong competition and prices should continue this week.

COW PRICES STILL STRONG Non-fed supplies are anticipated to remain tight near term, and it could

be another month before volumes of calving culls increase.

D1, D2 cows ranged C$136-$152 to average $144.75, down 58 cents from the previous week.

D3 cows ranged $120-$138 to average $128.80.

Rail grade cows were $277-$282.

Slaughter bulls were $155.64, down $1.59

FEEDERS STRONG The number of heifers going to auction has risen as producers cull herds and finalize their breeding intentions.

The market will look for confirmation in the March Canfax cattle-onfeed report.

Heifer placements into feedlots over the past two months have been historically low.

Feeder prices can sometimes weaken in April and match the seasonal lows set in January, but that is unlikely this year.

October live cattle futures have strengthened seven percent from their February lows.

As well, feeder cattle for April delivery are seeing prices comparable with current cash prices.

Alberta auction volumes fell to 29,000 from 40,000 the previous week.

Weekly feeder export to the U.S. topped 16,000 head for the first time this year.

Grass buyers have been more aggressive recently on 700-750 pound s t e e r s a n d h e i f e r s, a n d p r i c e s strengthened $11-$12 over two weeks.

Demand for seed stock heifers is good, adding a premium to their prices.

Feeder and calf prices will likely level off at the start of April.

Bred cows were $2,100-$3,400 per head, and bred heifers were $2,500$3,900.

CROP DEMAND

Weekly canola crush hits record and may increase The crush to date for the crop year is running almost six percent ahead of last year, which indicates that Agriculture Canada’s forecast for full year crush of 7.2 million tonnes is easily achievable. Indeed, if the current high level of crush were to continue, the total could be close to 7.7 million tonnes.

However, export shipments to date are a little disappointing. They are running four percent ahead of last year, but the weekly pace will have to increase to reach the Agriculture Canada forecast of 9.2 million tonnes.

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

Traders monitor winter wheat conditions and canola demand

I

hope you followed our online coverage of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s seeding intentions and quarterly stocks reports released March 31, the day after the deadline for this newspaper.

Those reports will likely dominate the trade this week, but traders are also watching the weather in the U.S. southern Plains, where hard red winter wheat is grown.

It is dry. Scattered showers last week weighed down wheat prices, and Chicago wheat fell four percent over the week, but a new forecast for dry weather this week helped wheat recapture all that ground on March 30.

The highest number of Hessian flies in Kansas in a decade also threatens wheat production, according to news reports.

The good to excellent rating for Kansas winter wheat dropped to 39

increased, making up for a slow winter and leading to total exports of 9.164 million tonnes.

If exports do pick up and the current exceptional pace of crush continues, the forecast for year-end stocks could tighten.

Agriculture Canada’s forecast is for 1.45 million tonnes at year end, down from a burdensome 2.36 million the previous year.

A number closer to one million tonnes would certainly support canola prices. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

The Canadian Oilseed Processors Association says the weekly crush recently topped 160,000 tonnes. | FILE PHOTO percent this week from 41 percent last week.

The Oklahoma good to excellent rating stayed at 44 percent, and Texas was also unchanged at 45 percent.

Wheat price rallies will be limited by strong competition from other exporters that have ample stocks and weaker currencies.

Turning to canola, it is heartening to note the big jump in the domestic crush in the past two weeks.

The crush ranged from 130,000 tonnes to 154,000 tonnes per week in February and early March, but in the week ending March 18 it jumped to more than 160,000 tonnes and last week climbed to a record 162,166 tonnes, according to figures from the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association.

The number should rise further in coming weeks when the new Cargill plant at Camrose opens.

CRAIG’S VIEW

HERBICIDE USE

Farmers need more than facts to defend glyphosate use

T

he recent decision by a United Nations agency to dub glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” sets farming and the food supply chain on a dangerous path, but not for the reasons most might think.

The fact that the data shows, on paper, that the pesticide is probably carcinogenic should surprise nobody.

The fact it was judged based on laboratory testing criteria, without providing the context of its risk when used properly in the real world, should serve as a warning to farmers that they must not let this decision stand without amendments.

Of course, the chemical is not any more dangerous than it was the week before the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer issued its report, but the ground under the debate has become unstable.

Decades of studies have demonstrated glyphosate to be one of the safest pesticides ever produced, in terms of toxicity to humans and animals, and have a relatively short persistence in the environment, but none of that will matter. Such debates seldom come down to discussions about science and real world data. What matters is emotion: which side of the debate manages to win the hearts of the public.

The IARC review placed glyphosate in Category 2A: probably carcinogenic to humans.

Glyphosate had previously been classed as Category 2B, which means “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

The decision comes after decades of studies by independent companies, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency that have shown glyphosate to be safe if used in the appropriate manner with the appropriate safety precautions.

The clinical, hazard-based approach used in IARC’s review is a legitimate scientific meth-

od, but without context it confuses rather than clarifies.

It’s vital to detail the plausible risk, or how the chemical interacts when used as prescribed with those who handle it and live around it. Yet whether the practical science will matter in the wake of the WHO classification is now in serious question.

The emotional arguments around a substance being classified as a probable human carcinogen may be too much to counter.

Glyphosate is probably the most commonly used pesticide in the world. It is used as general weed killer and is the key herbicide used in every Roundup Ready canola, corn and soybean system. It is also used for crop drydown and in post-harvest or preseeding notill systems.

Because it is so ubiquitous on conventional farms, it has become an easy target for activists who see its use as unsustainable and its overuse as a main cause of so-called super weeds, which are difficult to control.

To see what happens when these arguments dominate the agenda, we have only to look at the recent example of neonicotiniods and Ontario’s decision to gradually reduce and ban those seed treatments, even though the science is far from clear.

There may be a case for reduced glyphosate use, and education programs to promote more judicious use could be helpful.

However, the landscape of farming would have to change dramatically if farmers were to lose glyphosate completely. Zero-till and its soil preservation and carbon sequestration benefits would be cast into doubt. And what would farming without glyphosate mean to the prices and availability of the food we love?

Maybe those are the emotional discussions we need to have.

CROP PROTECTION

Neonic restrictions in Ontario continue to cause confusion CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

he Ontario government is pushing ahead with its plan to reduce the use of neonicotinoids by 80 percent by 2017.

The move comes despite a newly released study from Washington that says the controversial seed treatments may not be the main culprit behind mass bee deaths after all.

Ontario officials released their draft regulations March 23. The regulations, which the province says were designed after months of consultation with stakeholders, triggered anger from Ontario farmers who say the loss of the pesticides could severely affect their operations.

The province’s plan would see coated corn and soybean seeds listed as a Class 12 pesticide. Use of the chemical would be heavily regulated, with farmers allowed to buy up to only 50 percent treated seed if they can show proof of need to a certified agrologist or field inspector The certifier must not sell treated seed.

Questions about the draft regulations are plentiful, said Grain Farmers of Ontario chair Mark Brock.

He said details of how the audit process would work are still being sorted out. As well, the province has not said how it will ensure that enough certified agrologists and field inspectors are available to do assessments, nor has it said who will be liable in cases of crop failure that could have been prevented by using neonicotinoids.

Brock said there are also concerns about the availability of treated seed.

Seed producers will likely cut back on the amount of treated seed for sale because of the uncertainty around Ontario’s new regulations.

He also said farmers are worried that many pests aren’t listed on the prov-

ince’s list of nuisances that would warrant neonicotinoid treatment, such as corn midge. Meanwhile, the thresholds for listed pests such as wireworm are so high that farmers say it will be hard to meet them.

He said it’s also unclear how the new regulations will be enforced.

A spokesperson for agriculture minister Jeff Leal said that would be developed in conjunction with the yet to be finalized audit system.

Grain Farmers of Ontario isn’t the only group infuriated by the province’s draft regulations. Anne Fowlie, president of the Canadian Horticulture Council, told the House of Commons’ agriculture committee March 26 that O ntar io’s plan to limit neonicotinoids was causing confusion and “a patchwork of regulatory approaches across provinces.”

“Growers do not know which way to turn or how they will compete with their colleagues and peers in other areas of the country,” she said.

Parliamentary agriculture secretar y G erald Keddy would later appear to agree with Fowlie, noting

the proposed regulations could affect interprovincial trade.

“If one province has an advantage over another, it becomes a real problem,” he said.

Growers couldn’t help but note the irony around the timing of Ontario’s announcement.

Just days before the draft regulations were published, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a study on the impact of neonicotinoids on pollinator health that concluded the pesticides were not driving bee deaths.

Social media was aflutter.

Not only was the report released just days before a special White House task force is poised to address concerns about vanishing honeybees, which is expected to call for a larger restriction of the pesticide, but the study’s findings also directly contradicts Ontario’s neonicotinoid reduction plan.

The USDA said past research that linked mass bee deaths to the pesticides often based their experiments on high levels of exposure to neonicotinoids rather than levels that better reflected the actual amount

bees would be subject to in the field.

Researchers concluded that widespread claims around neonicotinoids being the main driver of bee health problems have seriously distorted the scientific explanations for pollinator deaths, including disease, loss of habitat and starvation.

Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which is responsible for pesticide approval, has repeatedly said the science does not support restricting neonicotinoids.

The agency has said mass bee deaths in Ontario and Quebec in 2012 and 2013 can be linked to exposure to neonicotinoid contaminated dust. Those findings triggered an edict from the agency ordering farmers to adjust their planting equipment and techniques to mitigate dust.

Industry said those new planting practices have been successful in reducing the amount of dust generated.

Ag investment needed to fight hunger

Online features receive special promotion

BY THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION

A

gricultural investment is one of the most effective strategies for economic growth and poverty reduction in rural areas, which is where most of the world’s poor live.

Gross domestic product growth in agriculture has been shown to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth originating in other sectors, according to the World Bank.

The regions of the world where hunger and poverty are most widespread have seen stagnant or declining rates of agricultural investment in agriculture over the past three decades.

Eradicating hunger in these regions and increasing food production requires substantial increases in investment in agriculture, including dramatic improvements in the level and quality of government investment.

The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that an additional investment of US$83 billion will be needed annually to close the gap between what low- and middleincome countries have invested each year over the last decade and what is needed by 2050.

In other words, yearly investment in agriculture needs to rise by more than 50 percent.

The FAO’s activities to encourage investment in agriculture and rural development include: • Providing technical and economic advice to governments on policies and legislation that influence public and private investment.

• Helping governments develop

FARM POLICY

Farm groups unprepared for new government HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

Q

uick, who is the federal agriculture critic for the NDP? What about the Liberals?

Who is their ag critic?

Most of us in the West have no idea.

Prominent Liberals Ralph Goodale and Wayne Easter are remembered by the agriculture community for their past endeavours in the agricultural portfolio, but neither is taking a lead role at this juncture.

The results of the upcoming federal election are too close to call. Polls suggest a minority government of some sort. Neither of the present opposition parties is likely to play ball for long to keep the Conservatives in power.

However, co-operation between

the Liberals and NDP is conceivable.

A lot can happen between now and the fall, but the Harper government’s continuance is far from assured. The agriculture lobby, particularly in the West, has done little to prepare for a possible change.

Many farm organizations in the West unabashedly support the Conservatives. In fact, any farm group that comes out with even a modest admonition risks being treated as an outsider. This is a government with a thin skin to any sort of criticism.

Most prairie farmers could not envision ever voting for anyone other than the Conservatives. While this is undoubtedly one of the reasons why the Liberals and NDP have been ignored, it could prove to be a tactical error.

This lack of engagement with the opposition has given the parties little reason to pay much attention to prairie agriculture. Rural Ontario and Quebec matters because votes there are up for grabs. Here in the West, there’s no payoff for them spending time or energy to come up with a viable platform. No matter what they do,

the voting pattern in rural areas is unlikely to change appreciably.

We risk ending up with a government that knows little about prairie agriculture and has little vested interest in reaching out to farmers. If that scenario plays out, we as farmers can take some of the blame.

At the recent meeting of the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, prime minister Stephen Harper made an appearance to answer pre-determined questions delivered by SARM president Ray Orb. No opportunity was afforded during the PM’s entire Saskatoon visit for reporters or farmers to ask questions.

It was all carefully stage managed.

Certainly, agriculture minister Gerry Ritz is accessible and approachable, so Harper can perhaps be forgiven for trying to avoid controversy.

Even with his approach, the Toronto media tried to make an issue out of him suggesting that guns offer some sense of security to rural people who live far from police protection.

SARM was no doubt delighted to

have the prime minister attend despite the rules of engagement. However, it would serve the interests of agriculture to also have opposition leaders Justin Trudeau and Tom Mulcair make appearances at prominent agriculture events. They might even agree to a real question and answer session.

Trudeau seems to be largely image and sex appeal with precious little policy substance. Mulcair seems bright and articulate, but his policies are too leftwing for most farmers. Impressions aside, we need to know these men better and they need to know what makes us tick. Trudeau could easily be the next prime minister in a government propped up by Mulcair’s NDP. And while minority governments are often short-lived, they can become majority governments quite quickly.

By then, it will be a little late to be making introductions and building bridges.

egular readers of The Western Producer might notice some new items in these pages, most notably on Page 2, where we showcase What’s happening@Producer.com.

In this segment, we point to extra features that our website offers readers, such as poll questions that are included with stories. These offer readers a chance to have your say on stories by answering quick questions. While not scientific, of course, they help take the measure of opinions on various topics.

Other features highlighted on Page 2 include photo galleries and videos that supplement stories.

This accompanies a feature I discussed a few weeks ago called Producer Online. Written by our online staff, Paul Yanko and Robin Booker, this column takes snippets of discussion from stories on our website and presents them in context for readers to take in.

We invite readers to weigh in with comments. Unlike many newspaper sites that let their comment sections run rogue, The Western Producer’s website is moderated, so debate is kept civil and respectful. It does mean that posts aren’t instantly online, but we believe the tradeoff for fruitful and cordial discussion is something our readers prefer. Let us know what you think. Would you prefer that we open up to free posting, moderated after readers report comments?

You might also notice that we sometimes have quick quizzes in our online stories. We invite readers to participate in these short quizzes, often just a few questions, to test your knowledge on the subject. For example, if you read Karen Morrison’s story, Keeping kids safe on the farm, which was posted March 12, you’ll find a quick quiz that tests what you know about safety. These quizzes aren’t meant to be time consuming, nor are they full tests of your knowledge; rather, they’re meant to be teasers to encourage readers to recall information that we may assume we know but might also be surprised when we don’t.

You can also join the discussion at The Western Producer on our Twitter site, @WesternProducer, and our Facebook site, where we occasionally post online extras that readers might find interesting from around the web.

All of this is intended to invite you into our house — the house of The Western Producer, that is — for engaging conversation about farming.

LAND OWNERSHIP ISSUE

To the Editor: Re: Animal Health column (WP Feb. 26), “Can veterinarians contribute to doctor-assisted death issue?”

Jamie Rothenburger’s description of euthanasia (helpfully defined as a “good death”) was touching.

She describes the procedure as being “handled with great care and sensitivity” as sedation followed by the injection of an anesthetic agent result in the animal passing in “peace and dignity.”

What a far cry from the deaths experienced by shackled chickens hung upside down and dragged through a stun-bath before having their throats cut and put in a scalding tank, where some remain conscious and are boiled alive.

Or how about the “thumping” of piglets’ heads against walls, which the Manitoba Pork Council describes as “the fastest way to euthanize those little pigs. It’s part of doing business.”

But wait, there’s a big difference between pigs and your pet dog. One’s food and one’s family, right? But who decided that? We did, of course.

But it’s all the same to the animals: pain is pain and death is death. All animals deserve to be “handled with great care and sensitivity” not just some.

Peter Fricker, Projects and Communications Director Vancouver Humane Society, Vancouver, B.C.

WHAT’S AFTER EUTHANASIA? To the Editor: We are writing concerning Jamie Rothenburger’s Animal Health column (WP Feb. 26) “Can veterinarians contribute to doctor-assisted death issue?”

Her premise that vets are already dealing with euthanizing “family members” is eye opening.

Our society has elevated pets to the same level of humans, which then necessarily lowers humans to the level of animals. The dignity of each and every person, from conception to natural death, comes from the fact that we are created in the image and likeness of God, which an animal is not. The only way people can “lose” their dignity, in the case of suffering or illness, is if the people caring for them would treat them without dignity.

Another concerning point made by Dr. Rothenburger is that of cost. She states that cost is “not an immediate

To the Editor: Thank you to Sean Pratt and The Western Producer (Feb. 26) for publicizing the complex issues underlying the Saskatchewan farmland buy up.

Unfortunately, the headline of “Foreign investors hit paydirt” and the focus on “foreign ownership” is misleading and too simple.

... It appears to be Canadian money that is scooping up farmland... .

NETTIE WIEBE

It would be much easier to protect family farms and rural communities if the land grab threat came from foreigners. They could simply be prohibited from buying up the land.

In fact, those laws are already in place.

However, our research found that it appears to be Canadian money that is scooping up farmland by the section, concentrating land ownership and displacing family farming.

Changing that pattern would require land ownership regulations that express some non-market values. This challenges the whole “open for business” and “everything is for sale at the right price” ideology.

Are healthy rural communities, young farmers, local ownership and control over land, family farming and food sovereignty worthwhile?

These are the big questions that land ownership legislation has to grapple with.

Nettie Wiebe, Delisle, Sask.

FUTURE IN JEOPARDY To the Editor: Newspapers have reported that the world needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent to 70 percent by 2050.

Without being pessimistic, I don’t think the countries of the world can reach any serious agreement on this as long as countries like Canada keep destroying our efforts towards this objective.

If they were asked, most Canadians would refuse to jeopardize so seri-

ously the future for the limitless enrichment of a few. But this would be democracy — real democracy — something very different from what we now have in place.

Bruno Marquis, Gatineau, Que.

EXPORTS HAVE GROWN To the Editor: Re: “Reality check”, letter to the editor (WP March 19) from Neil Gorda.

Western Canadian farmers have spoken loud and clear in support of our government’s actions to end the old Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly, expand market access for topquality Canadian products, and invest to give farmers the tools they need to succeed in the marketplace.

Since the end of the single desk,

Canadian exports of wheat and barley have grown by a third, and the number of quality complaints has gone down by a third.

Bringing back the old mandatory single desk would take all of these new opportunities away. The new CWB is currently working to increase its capacity to become a vibrant marketing option for farmers.

This commercialization is not a political process — the CWB will assess all serious partners and then submit a plan for commercialization to the government. This is in accordance with the legislation passed December 2011 so that the new CWB can increase its capacity to remain a vibrant marketing option for farmers.

Thanks to the important changes made by our government, Canadian farmers are thriving. Farm cash receipts and net operating incomes continue to achieve all-time highs.

OPINION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE ing an objective analysis. His use of an anonymous source to make uncomplimentary and false comments about AWC and other farm organizations was questionable and would be prohibited by many news departments.

What I found most disappointing however, was an apparent lack of understanding of the role of provincial crop commissions and the work we do.

AWC is empowered by the Marketing of Agricultural Products Act of Alberta to collect a levy on all wheat sales and we invest those funds predominantly in research, market development, policy advocacy, communications and extension.

Our mission is to enhance the longterm profitability of wheat and Alberta Wheat producers. And yes, when governments enact policies we have lobbied for and are consistent with our mission, we often support them.

We are involved in policy advocacy, but unlike membership-based farm organizations, such as the ones men-

tioned in his article, we do not enter the realm of policy activism. While pure policy organizations often take an aggressive/adversarial approach, we pursue change by meeting with policymakers, collaborating with other members of the value chain and investing in solutions.

AWC is non-partisan and reaches out to all political parties. We recently worked with our fellow Alberta crop commissions on the Team Alberta lobby trip and met with MPs from all parties.

Had Arnason done a bit more research before concluding that AWC is doing nothing about Canada’s grain transportation problems, he would have discovered we are a major investor in the Ag Transport Coalition (ATC). Through this partnership of shippers, farm groups and the federal government, we are seeking ways to make the transportation system work better. ATC is now publishing a weekly report that shines a light on railway performance.

Had he read our news release of January 28 he would have also discovered we are leading a national initiative to improve farmers’ access

to cash grain prices and market data.

More information can be found at pdqinfo.ca.

AWC invests about $1.7 million annually in research into wheat genetics and agronomic improvements to make new varieties and best management practices available to farmers. These projects are focused on such areas as quality, yield, harvestability and disease resistance.

Recently, we announced an investment in a $2.2 million project to improve agronomic practices for winter wheat.

Working with our national organization, Cereals Canada, we are involved in the marketing and branding of Canadian wheat in international markets and participate annually in the New Crop Missions that target key Canadian customers.

Arnason’s “analysis” seems to suggest that unless we are in attack mode we are doing nothing. At AWC we prefer results and in my view our record speaks for itself.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Glyphosate still under scrutiny PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

G

lyphosate continues to fuel the conversations taking place on The Western Producer’s social media channels again this week.

Last week you’ll recall, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a subgroup of the United Nations’ World Health Organization, released a report categorizing glyphosate as a substance “probably carcinogenic to humans,” which began the buzz on social media.

This week, follow-up stories to the release of that report have taken the lead.

Among those stories, WP reporter Robert Arnason’s interview with Keith Solomon, a University of Guelph professor emeritus and a globally recognized authority on pesticides, has led the way in stimulating debate.

A reader identifying himself as Richard writes: “The irony is of course that we have willfully created a global food production system totally dependent on one ingredient. And no amount of self righteous indignation and sophistry from the perpetrators, their heelers and those addicted to use is going to change the fact that none of these people have a sniff on how to create an alternate system.....

Glyphosate is finished.....Never mind toxicity, it has hit the brick wall of biological obsolescence.....it no ... longer ... works..... And an entire sector of the global economy drunk on its own excess of the holy wine for 40 years, finds itself stumbling to rearrange the deck chairs....”

A reader identifying himself as First Officer replies: “Nah. If glyphosate were taken off the market, yields would drop back to about what they were about 15 years ago for RR crops, but not for B.t. crops. A significant drop that will cause a big spike in food prices, but agriculture will not collapse. For corn, Atrazine would step back in.

Which prompted Richard to reply: “So not only is glyphosate obsolete, so is B.t.... Yep, as predicted, the root worm has conquered the biotech poster child ... in less than 10 years....

Atrazine? Perhaps you might look at the litigation surrounding Atrazine and other organophosphates … The dirty dozen.... Out with the sixties pal.... You know the problem with ego based agriculture is that it offers mostly honest people the false belief that they will be the first one granted an end run around natural law....

Biological reality is the sum total of evolution and it will always take your quick fix bio-chem marketing fantasies to the mat.... Furthermore, the public is rapidly evolving to the point where it is no longer willing to subsidize an agricultural paradigm of environmental intoxication....”

Richard’s assertion that B.t. technology is obsolete caught Paul Anderson’s attention: “B.t. is NOT obsolete. It still controls the European corn borer very well and there is no reason to think that will change anytime soon. The B.t. for rootworm and the B.t. for corn borer are quite different events. The corn borer one has been around a lot longer, is a lot stronger and is better matched to the physiology of the insect.

“You really ought to be glad the corn borer B.t. continues to work. It has kept a lot of organo-phosphates out of the environment.”

A reader identifying himself as AnotherLover took the time to point out a possible scenario where B.t. technology might become obsolete. AnotherLover writes: “Well said. But there is reason to believe B.t. will continue to decrease in effectiveness — its overuse. Same thing with antibiotics. It’s a scary notion to see insects genetically evolve themselves to resist B.t. It’s a freakin’ nightmare. Insects that resist B.t. will be unstoppable by natural methods. We push this far enough and organic farming will be impossible, conventional will be impossible and all that will be left is patented seeds that can resist the environmental — what do you call this? Insects that survive an ancient and effective insecticide plants have used forever, and plants evolving to survive herbicide — call it weirdness. Then, growers that wanted nothing to do with Monsanto or GMO crops will have to face these problems GMO farming techniques created. Just a thought.”

Being told, “he ought to be glad,” didn’t sit well with Richard, prompting the following response.

Richard writes: “I ought to be glad? Sorry, I’ve got 10 to 12 year rotations on my farm.... I don’t create a pathway for these kind of outbreaks.... But I get the distinct impression that you should be thankful for B.t.... Sadly, any basic web search on B.t. resistance in corn borer is happening all over the planet....”

Sifting through that exchange, a reader identifying himself as Mike felt compelled to share his experience. Mike writes: “Hi Richard. Glyphosate works very well on my 21 acre farm, and I see it working on lots of farms around me.

Weed resistance is not a problem other than mare’s tail, but our cover crop takes care of that. The alternatives to glyphosate are increased tillage, which damages soil structure and increases greenhouse gases and uses more fossil fuels.”

A reader identifying himself as Rip shed, in response to Richard’s comments about glyphosate being obsolete, summarized his thoughts on the matter, and Richard’s commentary on it, thusly: “Obsolete? Hardly. A lot of hyperbole and no evidence.”

VARIETY DEVELOPMENT

Retiring wheat breeder changed prairie fields Ron DePauw helped develop popular high yielding wheat varieties that brought farmers more money

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

One of Western Canada’s most well-known and productive plant breeders is calling it quits after a 45-year career at Agriculture Canada.

Ron DePauw has retired as a senior principal wheat breeder at the department’s Semi-Arid Prairie Agricultural Research Centre in Swift Current, Sask.

DePauw has worked with Agriculture Canada since the early 1970s.

He began working for the depart-

ment in Beaverlodge, Alta., but moved to Swift Current within a few years and has been there ever since.

DePauw is best known for his work as a spring wheat breeder but most recently, he headed the centre’s successful durum program.

With DePauw’s departure, Yuefeng Ruan will now lead the durum program at Swift Current.

In an email, DePauw thanked those who collaborated with the Swift Current centre and acknowledged his colleagues, including Richard Cuthbert, who leads the centre’s spring wheat program, Ron Knox, who

RON DEPAUW WHEAT BREEDER

leads its work in applied biotechnology and doubled haploid technology, and Fran Clarke, who is in charge of the centre’s quantitative genetics programs.

He also acknowledged the contributions of postdoctoral fellows, technical support staff and labourers at the centre.

“The fruits of our labours have been the uptake and adoption of high value traits and performance of fieldready cultivars,” DePauw said.

“I intend to continue to be available to further genetic enhancement as a mentor, adviser and consultant.”

It has been estimated that the w h e at v a r i e t i e s d e v e l o p e d by DePauw have added billions of dollars to the bank accounts of Western Canada’s farmers.

BECAUSE EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS {TWICE} When you donate to the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund Most of us are aware of the more common types of cancer: lung, breast, colorectal and prostate. Well-known agricultural promoter Ginty Jocius came face-to-face with a lesser-known but equally insidious disease: brain cancer. Jocius dedicated his entire working career to Canadian agriculture, working in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, running an agricultural marketing company and founding Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in 1994. His work was cut short by a diagnosis of brain cancer in 2006. Even with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, the disease took his life on January 2, 2008.

In February 2015, the Jocius family started the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund at the Canadian Cancer Society.

Until December 31 2015, every dollar donated to Ginty’s fund for Canadian brain cancer research will be matched dollarfor-dollar by Brain Canada through the Canada Brain Research Fund, a public-private partnership established by the Government of Canada.

Why should you donate to brain cancer research?

• Almost 3,000 Canadians were diagnosed with a brain tumour last year.

• Brain cancer is the most common cause of cancer deaths in children (up to age 14).

• It is the second most common cause among older adolescents and young adults (age 15-29 years).

• In adults, glioblastoma multiforme is aggressive - people with this disease survive on average only one year after diagnosis.

But there is always hope. With more scientific research, brain cancer will be detected and treated earlier. If you want to see your charitable tax-credit donation make a difference by doubling its impact in our nation’s research labs, then please consider donating to the Ginty Jocius Brain Cancer Research Fund.

He spearheaded the development of some of the country’s most valuable and productive varieties, which offered improved yield potential, better end-use quality, higher protein content, enhanced nutrient uptake, better disease resistance and improved insect resistance.

One of his most notable accomplishments was the development of spring wheat cultivars that produced bigger yields without negatively affecting protein content, something that was once considered impossible.

“There has always been this negative association between grain yield and protein,” DePauw said in an interview.

“But we shifted that relationship.

We didn’t break it, but we shifted it so that we were able to increase grain yield significantly in wheat without losing any protein content.”

The list of Canadian wheat varieties developed by DePauw is long, but AC Barrie was arguably the most popular.

By virtue of its higher yield potential and consistent quality, the variety is believed to have boosted prairie farm incomes by more than $800 million.

It was the most widely grown spring wheat variety in Canada for eight consecutive years between 1998 and 2005.

DePauw also led the development of Lillian, a solid stemmed cultivar that became the most widely grown Canada Western Red Spring variety in Western Canada.

In addition to high protein content, Lillian also offered resistance to the wheat stem sawfly, a tiny insect that was costing the industry millions of dollars in lost production every year.

He also co-developed Carberry, a CWRS variety with improved resistance to fusarium head blight, and he played a key role in devising a strategy aimed at protecting the midge tolerant Sm1 gene in varietal blends.

Rob Graf, an Agriculture Canada winter wheat breeder at Lethbridge, said DePauw’s contributions have had a profound impact on the wheat industry in Canada and will be felt for decades to come.

“Over the years, the industry has had great trust in his opinion on various issues because of his broad knowledge, thoughtful consideration of concerns and the impacts of various actions,” Graf said.

“Although Ron has retired from AAFC, I trust that he will find new ways to stay involved … and that’s a good thing.”

Todd Hyra, western Canadian business manager with SeCan, called DePauw’s career remarkable.

WILDLIFE

Power lines form ‘gauntlet’ for birds: biologist Biologists are particularly concerned about a new line that is just about ready to be activated near a popular Alberta lake

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Bird watchers flock to Frank Lake to observe some of the 194 different birds species that have been identified there.

The lake, six kilometres east of High River, Alta., is one of the 597 designated important bird areas of Canada, and at this time of year is a staging site for migrating trumpeter and tundra swans.

Two weeks ago, wildlife biologist Greg Wagner spotted three dead swans and found one dead snowy owl near the lake. He is concerned that a new electrical line soon to be activated near the lake will increase bird deaths.

Wagner said he found the birds under an older line that has been in place for many years. It runs along Frank Lake’s west side. The cause of the birds’ deaths can’t be proven, but the location is telling.

“They were right below power lines, and power lines are known to take out birds likes swans. It’s the birds with the heavy wing loading, so geese, swans, cranes … birds that are not that maneuverable in the air,” he said.

“These birds probably were flying in fog or under very windy conditions and were sent into the wires. They couldn’t avoid them.”

The new 240 kV line, which AltaLink is scheduled to activate this year, runs from the south and is designed to connect southern windgenerated energy to the substation on the lake’s north side.

The area has now become “a gauntlet to go through” for birds, Wagner said.

“Where these power lines just used to run across the northwestern and southwestern portion of the lake, they now encompass the northwest, the west and southwest, so half the lake (has) these power lines.”

Scott Schreiner, director of external engagement for AltaLink, said the utility firm sent one of its environmental experts to check the lake last weekend after calls from The Western Producer alerted it to potential bird strikes.

“At this point we haven’t found any evidence of recent bird collisions in the area,” said Schreiner.

He acknowledged it can be difficult to find carcasses because coyotes and ravens can eat the evidence.

Wildlife biologist Greg Wagner looks at a dead snowy owl at the north end of Frank Lake. | Schreiner said the overhead shield wire on the new electrical line has been equipped with two types of devices designed to reduce bird strikes. Studies show they reduce collisions by 60 to 80 percent.

“We do whatever we can to try and reduce the likelihood of those collisions and will continue to do so.”

The older line, under which Wagner found the dead birds, is lower and does not have shield wires or diverters.

“It’s unfortunate, but any aerial facility … can have collisions with birds,” he said.

“With AltaLink, we were the first utility in Canada to have an avian p ro t e c t i o n p ro g ra m, w h i c h i s designed specifically to reduce the number of collisions or the impact that our facilities have on the bird population. We take this seriously

and we’re concerned.”

Wagner said that response is expected.

“I do know that AltaLink has some consultants and people on their staff who are very knowledgeable about bird strikes on lines, but I guess my experience has been that AltaLink goes and does things and then apologizes for it later.”

Frank Lake is of particular concern because of its wealth of wild fowl and significant cattail habitat, he added.

Some 2,000 trumpeter swans and several thousand tundra swans pass through during spring migration and stop there again in fall.

Wagner said trumpeter swans were once threatened, but intervention brought them back to reasonable numbers, making it a success story in terms of species protection.

“Now we have a major concentra-

tion area where the bulk of the western birds now congregate and we put up a power line around half the lake that potentially threatens them.”

Schreiner said AltaLink conducted an environmental assessment of the power line route before construction began, which is standard practice.

Location of the existing substation north of the lake was a factor.

“In determining routing of any power line, one of the things that we do is we take into consideration the local environment, bird migration patterns, wildlife patterns, even grasslands,” Schreiner said.

Much of the new line parallels an existing line, and the route was altered to be farther away where it goes around the north and west side of Frank Lake.

Wagner has been working with the town of High River and the Alberta

government to identify Frank Lake’s ecotourism potential. He wonders about the wisdom behind the new power line’s location and the value of AltaLink’s environmental assessment, which he said wasn’t conducted when swans frequent the lake.

Nu m e ro u s d i s c u s s i o n s w i t h AltaLink personnel have not answered his questions.

“You’re building power lines all over southwestern Alberta and you cannot avoid Frank Lake, knowing that it is the only important bird area and the only important large cattail marsh in southwestern Alberta,” he said.

“You’re telling me you don’t know these things, and that you couldn’t avoid it?” barb.glen@producer.com

Sask. canaryseed farmers warned about company Canaryseed commission says buyer was late delivering check-off levies

The Canaryseed Development Commission of Saskatchewan says growers need to take “extra care” when marketing their grain to Naber Specialty Grains Ltd. The Melfort, Sask., company was in arrears submitting check-off levies it has collected from growers to the commission.

We don’t have any grower complaints at this point at all.

TODD NABER NABER SPECIALTY GRAINS

The commission issued a news release March 30 saying it has also

received reports from producers that they have not received payment for grain delivered to Naber.

Commission chair David Nobbs said he received a call from Todd Naber shortly after issuing the news release, saying he would have payment to him later that day.

“He hasn’t paid yet, but he’s claiming he’s going to straighten it out,” said Nobbs.

Naber said in a March 30 interview that this was the first he heard of the commission’s concerns and that the $540 owed was paid in full that day.

He said there are no outstanding issues with his company failing to pay growers for grain they delivered.

“We don’t have any grower complaints at this point at all. Everything has been resolved a long time ago,” said Naber.

Naber was a principal in Naber Seed & Grain Co. Ltd. when that Melfort firm was placed into receivership in June 2002.

The company did not have a big enough bond in place with the Canadian Grain Commission to fully compensate growers.

Growers received 51 cents on the dollar for the grain they delivered, leaving 112 farmers with $960,000 in unpaid deliveries.

Naber said what happened with the old company has no bearing on the new one.

“That company has no relationship to this one,” he said.

Nobbs said the commission felt an obligation to growers to go public with the information, even though it w a s a s ma l l a m o u nt o f m o n e y involved.

“I think it’s extremely important,” he said.

“Growers allow these deductions to be made in good faith, and organizations must ensure that those companies deducting them are submitting them.”

He said the commission would issue a follow-up news release once payment was received.

Nobbs said canaryseed growers have to be particularly cautious w h e re t h e y d e l i v e r t h e i r c ro p because it is not one of the 20 grains regulated by the Canadian Grain Commission.

There wasn’t much appetite for becoming the 21st regulated crop when the topic was raised at the canaryseed commission’s annual general meeting in January.

Nobbs said the commission and L e v y C e nt ra l ma d e nu m e ro u s attempts by phone and e-mail to collect the outstanding check-off money f ro m Na b e r, b u t t h e re w a s n o response from the company until the news release was issued.

Naber was in arrears for submissions from December, January and February.

Nobbs said Naber told him the company didn’t collect any check-off money in December but it would be submitting what was owed for January and February. sean.pratt@producer.com

WATER REGULATIONS

Sask. input compiled; new land drainage rules coming

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Saskatchewan is slowly working its way toward new regulations to deal with agricultural drainage.

Wayne Dybvig, president of the Water Security Agency, told members of the Saskatchewan Conservation & Development Association that the province recently concluded another round of consultations and will have more to say on the issue in the coming year.

“There was a commitment under (Saskatchewan’s) 25-year water plan to look at the issue of drainage and to overhaul our legislation,” said Dybvig, who spoke at the SCDA’s annual general meeting in Saskatoon March 19-20.

“We now have a lot of input to work with and we have a good idea of where we need to go with this. Hopefully over this coming year, we will have more to say about implementing a new approach to drainage.”

Dybvig said agricultural drainage has been identified as one of the factors responsible for downstream flooding in many parts of the Prairies.

Farm groups, including the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers, say the impact of agricultural drainage has been over-estimated.

They say extreme weather is by far the main reason for costly flooding that has affected dozens of communities in Saskatchewan and Manitoba over the past few years.

Nonetheless, both Saskatchewan and Manitoba have identified agricultural drainage as an issue that needs to be addressed through enhanced regulations or new legislation.

“With the recent flood events … there has been a lot more talk about agricultural drainage and many people see it as one of the causes, or at least a contributing factor, to flooding,” said Dybvig. “There’s really a need for us to look at this.”

The Saskatchewan government conducted an online consultation last year that sought input from landowners, farmers, water stewards and members of the public.

The survey determined that 87 percent of survey respondents consider agricultural drainage essential and believe that a new provincial policy on drainage is needed.

Seventy-five percent said they have been affected by agricultural drainage in one way or another, 12 percent said drainage should not be allowed and 40 percent said they were unaware that a permit is required before draining water off agricultural land.

Dybvig said necessary agricultural drainage should be conducted in a responsible manner to ensure that the downstream impacts are mitigated.

“We need to use best management practices, and the amount of regulation should be tied to the risk,” he said.

“So if it’s a low risk project that isn’t going to have much impact, we shouldn’t spend a lot of time on it from a regulatory perspective.”

Consensus has yet to be reached on: • How to define risk.

• How to deal with wetlands.

• The use of control gates on certain projects.

• Issues related to monitoring, compliance and enforcement.

APAS president Norm Hall said his organization is generally satisfied with the approach the province has taken to implement new regulations.

However, he said the province should be prepared to play a leading role in compliance and enforcement.

The province must ensure that adequate resources are in place to support new regulations.

“If they’re going to have — for the lack of a better term — water cops out there, then that component is going to have be provincially funded,” said Hall.

“It’s not going to be the RMs that do

it and it’s not going to be the watershed authorities or the C&Ds (conservation and development groups).”

Hall said extreme rainfall during the past four or five years has highlighted the need for updated regulations.

However, he repeated a point made

by KAP president Dan Mazier that extreme weather, not agricultural drainage, is the root cause of costly flooding that has occurred in Western Canada.

“It’s not drainage that causes the issues downstream. It’s the extreme weather events, the large snowfalls or the large rainfalls. That’s where our problems start.”

That said, APAS supports regulations that lead to a more co-ordinated approach to agricultural drainage.

Manitoba is also expecting new regulations aimed at reducing conflicts arise from agricultural drainage.

A committee of stakeholders including KAP developed a report last year called Toward Sustainable Drainage.

It provides a template for new drainage regulations in Manitoba.

Implementation is expected to take place in the near future.

The committee that compiled the report met for the last time March 19 to discuss last-minute issues.

MANY FARMERS SWEAR

BY THEIR DUAL SHANKS. SOME SWEAR AT THEIR OPENERS.

Kerry Patterson loved his SeedMaster™, but his factory openers kept freezing up when applying NH3 and dry fertilizer.

The openers on the Holts’ John Deere Conserva Pak™ kept plugging and wearing out by the end of the year, while Lionel Ector’s muddy, sticky soil totally defeated his Seed Hawk™.

When no other openers worked for them, we were asked to see if we could come up with solutions. To make three long stories short, we did. We designed custom openers for each machine’s two shanks and a series of extra durable, easily replaceable tips.

Kerry, the Holts and Lionel reported perfect performance in their first season, with the Holts figuring they’d last twice as long as their old openers and tips. Three brands. Two shanks. One company with the right openers for each. Dutch.

Got a seeding challenge? Talk to us. Because if we don’t have a solution, we’ll make one.

DUAL SHANK SERIES – custom-designed openers and tips for SeedMaster™, Seed Hawk™ and John Deere Conserva Pak™. Superior performance and longer life.

“At this point, we’re waiting to see when (the province) is going to enact the regulations,” said Mazier, who described Manitoba’s proposed regulations as farmer friendly.

If adopted as written, the proposed rules would make it easier for farmers to clean out existing drainage ditches and provide a clearer definition of a permanent wetland.

“It’s more workable,” Mazier said.

You can manage your land much easier.”

Manitoba’s new regulations are expected to focus primarily on maintaining permanent wetlands. brian.cross@producer.com

GM FLAX

Triffid not completely eliminated from pipeline: flax council Growers are urged to test harvested seed at an accredited lab to ensure it does not have GM traits

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian flax industry is nearing the finish line in efforts to get rid of the genetically modified flax variety Triffid.

However, there’s still work to be done, says Don Kerr, president of the Flax Council of Canada.

“We are currently seeing extremely low levels (of Triffid) but, although we are close to our objective, as long as farm saved seed is being used at all, we cannot discontinue the sampling and testing procedure,” he said.

DON KERR FLAX COUNCIL OF CANADA

In 2009, CDC Triffid, an unapproved line of GM flax, was discovered in shipments to the European

Union. Europe then banned Canadian flax, destroying a key market for farmers.

The flax council has joined Manitoba Flax Growers and Saskatchewan Flax in asking Canadian growers to use seed that has been tested and confirmed free of Triffid genetics.

Flax growers who did not buy certified seed last year should do so this year, the groups said in a joint news release. There should be ample supplies of certified seed available this year, despite projections that producers may plant as many as two million acres.

Commercial growers are also urged to continue testing all harvested and bin-run seed using an accredited lab that is capable of detecting Triffid genetics.

A list of accredited labs can be found on the flax council’s website at www.flaxcouncil.ca, along with information on approved sampling procedures.

Funding had been available to help producers cover costs associated with sampling and lab testing fees, but it ran out in Februar y 2014.

Producers are now expected to

cover testing and sampling costs.

Kerr said the industry has made tremendous strides in eliminating Triffid from Canada’s commercial flax pipeline, but now is not the time for the industry to let down its guard.

He said producers who were unable to buy certified or reconstituted flax seed last year should try again this year.

Seed shortages forced some growers to use bin run last year, which the industry would like to avoid this year. brian.cross@producer.com

MENTORSHIP

Ag groups provide advice for renters New farmers take part in farm days, educational workshops

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

COURTENAY, B.C. — Foster Richardson laments that so much farm expertise is not getting passed along to young producers like him.

“It’s a bit scary to think of what could be lost,” he said.

Eager to farm after graduating from the University of British Columbia’s land and food college, he and a few friends were lucky to find Beaver Meadow Farms at Courtenay, B.C. The cattle farm offered them land to get started two years ago.

Richardson said a wealth of knowledge and infrastructure is not being passed along to the next generation because of the challenging economics of getting into farming, especially for those without family farm connections.

In February, Jay Baker French was learning holistic management in Saskatchewan while Richardson and Natasha Tymo managed the chicken flock and prepared the greenhouse for the new growing season.

“There’s a lot of enjoyment in putting to use what we learned in

school,” said Richardson.

Their Birds and the Beans farm raises 150 free range laying hens, using a moveable coop to keep the birds safe at night.

They use a greenhouse and high tunnels to extend the growing season and speed plant development.

The group grows produce for a farmers market and a community supported agriculture venture, in which 30 customers pay $25 a week.

“That helps us get money up front,” said Richardson.

The partners also work as labourers at Beaver Meadow.

Tymo said the farm’s philosophy is “to feed people fully,” so they’re exploring growing grain and beans and providing more produce in the winter when demand is high and supply limited.

The farm is not certified organic but follows organic practices. The partners pay a percentage of their revenue to their landlord and keep their costs down by saving their own seed and using an older model truck.

Tymo said they all share a passion for farming and draw much fulfilment from that.

“Within all of our philosophies is a

belief we need to be growing our food,” said Richardson.

It’s not the first such venture with aspiring farmers for Edgar Smith of Beaver Meadows.

He got involved to ensure that the family farm, which dates back to the 1930s, will be used for agriculture well into the future.

“It’s a long way from finding somebody to be able to purchase and take over the farm, but you never know,” Smith said.

His previous renters grew wasabi for five years and today own and operate their own farm and agribusiness in the Comox Valley.

“If my brothers and my family didn’t want to do this, I think agriculture and farming on the island is going to lose a lot of knowledge in this next generation,” said Smith.

“There’s nobody behind to take over.”

He cited New Zealand, where young farmers can work on an estab-

lished farm and earn a share of the land, herd and proceeds over a period of years and then have the opportunity to buy the farm.

“Here in B.C., we don’t have a way to figure that out,” he said.

“Without any kind of support from the community and government, there is very little way for beginning farmers to start.”

Smith offers his young growers advice in marketing, soils, fertility, irrigation, drainage, pests and disease and planting times.

“If they have a problem, they can come to us and we give them the benefit of our experience,” he said.

Richardson said they are “stumbling our way through it,” reaching out to groups such as Young Agrarians, which brings together far-flung producers and organizes events such as pot lucks, open farm days and demonstrations so that they can exchange ideas and explore different farm options.

British Columbia has the fewest number of farmers younger than 35 . The average age of farmers in the province is 56, the highest in Canada.

Such groups offer an easy way to meet others with similar interests and learn skills such as greenhouse building.

B.C. Young Farmers, another support group, combines educational sessions with social time to allow farmers to connect, said executive director Christine Koch.

Sessions can explore how to prepare for a meeting with a banker or do a business plan, while bcyf.ca offers links to more resources.

“Our focus is to educate, connect and have interaction between young farmers,” Koch said.

A recently completed survey conducted by the National New Farmer Coalition and the University of Manitoba focused on developing policy for new farmers.

It surveyed those who are currently farming, wanting to farm or had recently left the industr y in an attempt to learn what these farmers need and where they obtain their information.

AGRIBUSINESS

Farming dreams on hold for now Couple plan business ventures until they can buy their own land

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

ROULEAU, Sask. — For those who aspire to farm, there is the dream and then there is reality.

Mike and Jenn Kleckner are somewhere between the two.

Mike, who grew up on a farm near Gravelbourg, Sask., has long wanted to farm but also knows the barriers to entry.

The family, including daughter Brooklynn, 3, and son Brody, 18 months, live on a quarter section near Rouleau and for now that has to do.

Most of the land available in the area is in large parcels worth millions of dollars.

Mike said when he sits down to calculate how they could get into the industry as primary producers, he can’t get past the first step.

“It just doesn’t pencil out,” he said.

For now, the young couple is focusing on their company, MJK Ag Services Inc. They offer custom spraying, swathing and hauling, plus products such as GPS systems and tile drainage equipment.

The business is a natural extension of Mike’s first foray after high school.

His dad died when he was in Grade 12 and the family farm of 1,200 acres was sold. He spent four seasons custom combining in the United States.

He also worked several jobs, mostly associated with agriculture.

Jenn grew up on a cattle ranch in Vanderhoof, B.C., and became an esthetician.

“Some friends talked me into moving out here nearly eight years ago,”

she said.

Mike’s mom was one of her clients and that’s how the two met. They married in 2009.

After living on an acreage near Craven, they purchased their quarter section and Mike went to work for larger farmers in the area for several years before expanding his business.

The spraying operation has been going the longest: 2015 will be the third year for swathing.

The combination of spraying, swathing and hauling grain keeps him and their employee, Jenn’s brother Kevin Simrose, busy most of the year.

They try to stay close to home but have to go where and when the work is. Mike says they are pretty much on call 24-7 during spraying and swathing, depending on the weather.

“When it rains it pours,” he said.

“You either have nothing or three jobs to juggle.”

More and more farmers are turning to custom operators, he said.

“We’re in a good area because the acres are big,” Mike said of the Regina plains. “But then again, 60 to 100

miles away, there are smaller farmers who don’t have all the equipment.”

For now, Simrose is the only fulltime employee. Finding good farm labour is difficult for any operation and Mike said that does factor into future plans.

Jenn has been pressed into duty as well because they weren’t able to find anyone else.

“I drove a swather this fall,” she said, noting that her mother watched the children.

The couple’s goal is for Jenn to stay home with the children but she runs a lot of errands and chauffeurs the men to different fields.

They are looking at other possibilities for their business that would still keep them close to the farm. One is to add a seed cleaner or a mobile unit

and the other is to build a shop.

Mike said many of the larger seed cleaners or pedigreed growers worry about contamination, leaving others with fewer options. The latter option would depend on having better roads to their farm.

Any expansion of the business or their own farm depends on finding the right banker, they say.

“We started with nothing,” Mike said.

“We’re not running the newest stuff. Sometimes it’s not just the numbers, it’s somebody wanting to take a chance on you.”

That dream of farming their own land is still very much alive.

“It’s in my blood, too,” said Jenn. karen.briere@producer.com

HOME-BASED PALLIATIVE CARE

Funding available for patients wanting to die at home HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

In some cases, the family may be in denial that the patient is terminal

Q:

One of my friends is dying of cancer and I was surprised to hear that she has been sent home

to die. The doctors say she will only live about a week. Is this normal procedure in Canada? How can her husband and adult son manage? She has a lot of pain and needs powerful drugs to control it.

A:

Most people find it difficult to discuss what will happen in their final days, but it is important to let your relatives know what your wishes are. Most people prefer to die at home in familiar surroundings and with their loved ones and pets present. In most cases, even with terminal cancer, it is quite possible with the appropriate help.

A recent study in Toronto, published by Sarah Hales and associates

in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, gave caregivers of terminally ill patients a questionnaire called Quality of Dying and Death.

The responses showed that the majority of people thought the person had died comfortably and free of pain.

Home death was associated with better overall quality of dying and death and better symptom control and death preparation than hospital or hospice/palliative care deaths.

Interestingly, the study also showed that despite the availability of funded home-based palliative care in the Toronto area, only 30 percent of the cancer deaths they studied were at the patient’s home.

Forty percent of them were in an inpatient hospice or palliative care unit while 28 percent were in an acute care hospital setting.

Even with advance planning and the patient leaving written instructions that they wish to die at home, the relatives are sometimes not up to the task, either physically or mentally.

There may not be any relatives or perhaps they do not live close enough or have young children to look after as well.

Some may be in denial that the person is terminally ill and hope for some last minute miracle cure.

Many people are simply not aware that free help is available and intrave-

no u s dr ips, re gu la r m o r ph ine administration and other painkillers and sedatives will not be a problem for the caregiver.

I also wonder whether most people realize that patients dying of cancer are often still able to take care of themselves to some extent, such as being able to walk to the bathroom with help and communicate, until about the last week of life.

If the person no longer wishes to eat, this is a sign that the end is near.

Don’t force them because this is nature’s way of making the final days more comfortable.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Trekking through terraced-hill countryside of Vietnam TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

I

t was as if we were looking at a gigantic work of abstract art.

Steep slopes of the mountain valley were completely covered in contoured terraces, a complex network of wildly sculpted land that is an engineering marvel.

While we see scenic beauty, local people see it as the only way to make a living in this inhospitable land.

When you try to grow crops where flat land is sparse, you have to create your own.

We were trekking in Vietnam’s far north, about 300 kilometres from the capital, Hanoi.

We arranged the trip while in Hanoi, which included an overnight train trip (fairly comfortable in a sleeper car), a couple days in the picturesque mountain town of Sapa, and a twoday hike through the countryside with an overnight at a home-stay in a remote village.

The trip was not only remarkably inexpensive, but turned out to be the highlight of our Vietnam travels.

Overlooking a valley amid Vietnam’s highest mountains, Sapa was developed in the early 1900s during the French colonial era as a place to escape the summer heat.

While comfortable for visitors, the cooler temperatures provide another challenge to farmers.

Many parts of the country can produce two and sometimes three rice crops per year, but here they’re restricted to one.

Sapa had little contact with the outside world until the 1990s, but now is firmly on the tourist trail. The main draw is the scenery, combined with rich cultural diversity.

Most people in the countryside are part of ethnic minority hill tribes that each have their own customs and dress. The women in particular wear colourful traditional outfits as everyday clothing.

Our guide, Mae, belongs to the Black H’mong tribe. She learned English on-the-job guiding tourists and considers herself unusual because she is already in her early twenties and not yet married.

Mae leads us up and down the steep hills, through bamboo forests and across seemingly endless rice paddies. No crops are growing in the dry season, so cutting across the step-like terraces is often the easiest path. We walk right beside water buffalo grazing bits of grass in the dry fields.

Zigzagging along the broad Moung Hoa River valley, every turn in the path seems to open up more stunning vistas. We had seen photos of these amazing terraces, but it’s not until we came here that we realized just how vast an area they cover.

We pass a work crew carving new terraces by hand into the steep mountain slope. There’s a delicate balance to this type of farming. More terraces mean more crops, but removing too much vegetation from the slopes has caused serious erosion in places.

ABOVE: Rice terraces that blanket the countryside near Sapa, Vietnam, are a wondrous sight.

LEFT: Hill tribe women in traditional dress gather at the market.

BELOW: A water buffalo grazes on the dry rice terraces. | ARLENE AND ROBIN KARPAN PHOTOS

Late afternoon we arrive at Ta Van Village, home to the Dzay tribe. Our host family has a simple but rambling wooden house. Like many people here, they seem to be mostly selfsufficient in food.

Vegetables grow in the garden, while some are drying on the back deck. Chickens wander near the house and a pig pen is just down the hill. Our host already has supper on the go, much of it cooked in a wok over a wood fire.

After a tasty meal, Mae cheerfully arrives carrying a large bottle of clear liquid and announces, “Now we

drink some happy water.” She pours large glasses of the area’s special drink, a potent homemade rice wine guaranteed to keep you warm on cool winter evenings.

Next morning brings more up and down through hills and terraces as we hike out of the valley.

Regretfully, we leave the quiet villages and our brief glimpse into their way of life amidst awesome landscapes, then return to the world of roads and traffic.

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

A

crown roast of pork is a regular bone-in pork loin that makes an elegant entree for special occasions like Easter. Order it in advance from your butcher shop and ask for it to be frenched and tied.

Frenched means that the bone tips are cleaned of all meat and fat. Roasts of less than 12 ribs are difficult to form into a crown so this is usually a meal for at least eight to 10 people.

Allow one and a half ribs per person or more if you want leftovers.

Pavlova is a meringue based dessert named for Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. It was created either in Australia or New Zealand after one of her tours in the 1920s.

It can be one large meringue base to serve everyone or made into individual small meringues for individual desserts. Pavlova impresses no matter how you serve it.

CROWN ROAST OF PORK Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).

Prepare the roast by patting dry and generously seasoning with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Wrap each bone tip with kitchen foil to prevent burning. Place a ball of foil in the centre.

Roast for up to an hour for a small roast and up to two hours for a roast over 10 pounds (4.5 kg). Remove from oven, remove ball of foil and fill cavity with stuffing. Cover stuffing loosely with kitchen foil. Return to oven and roast until an internal temperature of 155 F (68 C) is reached. Measure the temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into a thick portion of the meat without touching a bone.

Remove foil from bone tips and stuffing about 30 minutes before roast is fully cooked.

At this time if you find that the roast is not browning as much as you like, brush it with the caramelized juices from the bottom of the roasting pan and increase oven temperature to 475 F (245 C).

When internal temperature is reached, remove from oven and tent with kitchen foil. Rest for 10 minutes.

The temperature will continue to rise a few degrees while it is resting. Pork is fully cooked at 160 F (71 C).

The rule of thumb for total roasting time is 10-15 minutes per pound.

Slice between each bone to serve.

Plump dried cranberries in 1/2 cup (125 mL) of hot water for 15 minutes.

Drain and set aside.

Saute celery and onion in butter until translucent. Add seasonings, dried cranberries and bread. Remove from heat. Stir to mix and add stock.

OVEN ROASTED VEGETABLES carrots baby potatoes butternut squash cooking oil coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C).

Wash baby potatoes and slice larger ones in half. All pieces should be about the same size. Peel and cut carrots into same size pieces as potatoes.

Slice squash into rings and scoop out the seeds. Do not peel squash. It will hold its shape better if left unpeeled.

Pat dry and toss all vegetables in enough cooking oil to lightly coat and arrange on an ungreased baking sheet.

Generously season with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Roast in preheated oven until tender, about 20 minutes.

Stir occasionally, if necessary, but it is ideal to have some browning.

BROWN SUGAR PAVLOVA WITH SEASONAL FRUIT AND BERRIES Meringue 1 c. granulated sugar 250 mL 1/2 c. packed light 125 mL brown sugar 1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch 20 mL 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 7 mL 2 tsp. white vinegar 10 mL 3/4 c. egg whites 185 mL (from 5 to 6 large eggs) at room temperature for 30 minutes

Topping 4 c. selection of seasonal 1 L fruits or berries 2 tbsp. granulated sugar 30 mL Cream 1 c. chilled heavy 250 mL cream 1/3 c. chilled sour cream 80 mL Preheat oven to 250 F (120 C) with rack in middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Pulse sugar, brown sugar and cornstarch in a food processor until well combined. Pass through a sieve to remove any lumps.

Stir together vanilla and vinegar in a small bowl.

Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt using an electric mixer at medium speed until they hold soft peaks.

Increase speed to medium-high and add sugar mixture one tablespoon (15 mL) at a time. After all sugar has been added, beat one minute more.

Add vinegar mixture, then beat at high speed until meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks, about five minutes. Using a piping bag, make individual pavlovas about four inches (10 cm) in diameter or make two large ones. Start piping from the centre and work outwards.

Or you can simply use a large spoon and smooth it into a round. Make the outer edge higher than the inside whether piping or spooning.

Bake until meringues have a crisp crust and feel dry to the touch, about one hour. The inside will be marshmallow like. Turn oven off and prop door open slightly. Cool meringue in oven for one hour. Meringue may sink slightly and crack while cooling.

When completely cool, carefully peel off parchment. Meringue will be fragile and the crust may crack further. This can be used the same day or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Meringues can also be frozen in airtight packaging up to three months.

Toss fruit or berries with sugar and let stand at room temperature until ready to use, up to one hour.

Beat cream with sour cream using an electric mixer until it just holds soft peaks. To serve, put each meringue on a serving plate and spread with whipped cream. Top with fruit and juice from fruit.

Serves 10-12.

ON THE FARM

Ontario farmer carves niche business in mink

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

I think you have to be a bit of a weirdo to do this.

Like most farmers, Jake Grift knew what he wanted to be at an early age.

Grift, however, set his goal earlier than most.

“I sat on Santa Claus’s knee when I was four years old. He asked me what I want to be when I grow up and I said, ‘a farmer.’ ” Grift, who was born in the Netherlands and immigrated to Canada in 1990 at the age of 15, took longer than most to fulfil his childhood dream.

He worked at a number of jobs for more than 20 years before starting his own farm near Guelph, Ont., in 2013.

Grift didn’t select a standard farming category, like cattle, chickens or grain. He became a mink rancher.

“It’s unique. And I think you have to be a bit of a weirdo to do this.”

Grift spent a portion of his childhood working at his uncle’s farm in Holland, where he learned how to care for pigs, chickens and mink.

That experience helped him land his first job in Canada.

“As a teenager, moving here from Holland, I basically walked off one mink ranch to another one (in Ontario),” he said, adding the challenges, complexities and independence of mink farming convinced him to start his own farm in Canada one day.

An opportunity arrived a few years ago when a relative in the Netherlands wanted to establish a mink ranch in Ontario.

Grift now operates a 24,000 sq. foot barn and has more than 2,000 female mink, which produce 8,000 to 10,000 skins annually. His wife, Tomke Roelofs, runs her own business on the farm, boarding about 20 horses for urban and rural clients.

Roelofs lived and worked on egg and dairy farms in Ontario and Germany before meeting Grift.

“I was off the farm for about 10 years. During that time I met Jake and we both (wanted) to get back to the

JAKE GRIFT, MINK PRODUCER

Jake Grift, left, Tomke Roelofs and Grift’s sister and farm worker Henrieke Ruane carefully handle mink, especially popular in Chinese markets. | LISA GRAHAM PHOTO farm and do something,” she said.

“I was always interested in horses....

So this farm provided the opportunity (to do both).”

Grift and Roelofs wanted to farm because they liked the idea of working and living together.

“Where we have our own (enterprises)… but basically work from home,” Roelofs said.

Grift is still adjusting to the challenges of the mink business.

“I’m not established yet,” he said. “It

takes a while to make a herd your own, to figure it out and get good at it.”

Like sheep, successfully breeding mink is about timing. Mink respond to lengthening days following Christmas and typically go into heat for three weeks in late February to early March.

“After Dec. 31, you have to be very careful with having light in and around the barn,” Grift said.

“You have to put the mink on a diet (in the winter) so they lose weight. If

they don’t lose weight, chances are they’ll still come into heat … but it affects the size of the litter.”

Mink production has its own life cycle. They give birth to litters of four or five kits in May, about eight weeks after breeding. The kits nurse on their mothers for approximately six weeks.

Several kits, often three, are housed together in a small pen (cage) for a month following weaning.

The animals are fed a meat diet, usually the byproducts of abattoirs,

fish processing and food processing plants, including fish heads and slaughterhouse offal.

Winter fur begins to grow in August and reaches its prime in November or December. The mink are killed with carbon dioxide and then the pelts are harvested.

Grift said the price for mink is usually set at the year’s first auction, typically held in January.

by Newfoundland and British Columbia.

• Mink prices hit a peak in 2012-13, selling for $100 per pelt. Prices dropped in 2014, when a warm winter in China and Russia cut into demand.

Prices ranged from $30 to $70 per pelt.

• Grey pelts are more desirable than brown, earning a premium.

STOP

resistant weeds IN THEIR TRACKS.

Avoid glyphosate resistance by mixing and rotating herbicides.

“

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

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

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

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

“

“It’s a world market and there are three options in the entire world: one (market) in Toronto, one in Denmark and there’s one in Finland.”

Chinese customers dominate the international fur market.

“China… that’s where 90 percent of it goes. Every man wants a Beemer (BMW) or Mercedes and ever y woman wants a fur coat. And it’s all about status,” he said. “If you go to the auction here in Toronto … 90 percent of (the buyers) are Chinese.”

Global fur fashions have changed dramatically over the last two decades to match the expectations of modern consumers.

“Your grandma’s standard brown mink coat, nobody is buying that anymore”, Grift said.

The fashion industry now uses fur more creatively, processing the fur to craft a unique pattern or colour and using fur for part of a garment.

North American Fur Auctions of Toronto said on its website that 2014 was a difficult year for the fur industry. Warm weather in China, Russia and Europe cut into sales, and ranch mink prices dropped up to 70 percent from 2013, when prices hit record levels. Grift said his first sale of this year generated a decent price.

“I just sold 1,700 skins in January and averaged $67 Canadian.”

Grift is confident fur demand will remain strong, but the fur farming industry remains controversial in North America and Europe.

The Dutch Senate voted to ban mink farming in the Netherlands in 2012, claiming it is immoral to raise animals in small cages for an unnecessary luxury product.

However, the Dutch courts overturned the proposed ban last spring.

Judges said it unfairly punishes fur farmers and compromises their right to a livelihood.

Grift said animal rights activists occasionally break into mink barns and release the animals into the wild.

He said such actions are ridiculous because Canadian mink farmers follow standardized animal welfare practices, which are developed by Agriculture Canada, industry representatives and animal welfare agencies.

As well, he said releasing farmed mink is cruel because his animals descend from mink that were domesticated 60 years ago. They don’t know how to survive in the wild.

“Everybody is entitled to their opinion,” he said. “If you’re against having an animal in a cage, that’s fine. But letting them out is going to do more harm than good.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

P

rairie gardeners eagerly anticipate the first blooms in their outdoor gardens after having them covered in snow for months.

The forsythia shrub is one of the first plants to provide such colour.

In late April or early May, depending on the spring, bright yellow, bellshaped flowers appear on the shrub’s branches.

The entire shrub appears to be covered in gold because the flowers open before the leaves appear.

Forsythia is a native of Asia and Eastern Europe and recently hardy cultivars have been developed, such as Northern Gold for prairie gardeners.

In severe winters when minimum temperatures fall below - 40 C, some die back will occur above the snowline. Forsythia is considered borderline hardy for zone 2, so in both zone 2 and 3 gardens, it should be planted in a sheltered spot that receives deep snow cover and is protected from cold winter winds.

The blooms of forsythia, produced along the length of the branches, are vibrant gold and will last for a couple of weeks. The shrub is fast growing with a fibrous root system that is easy to transplant or divide.

Forsythia is a heavy feeder and will benefit from an application of fertilizer early in the growing season.

A forsythia shrub prefers a rich, well-drained soil and performs best in full sun. Once it is established, a forsythia shrub will require no supplemental watering except during a dry summer.

Erecting a snow fence or placing tree boughs near the shrub in the fall to catch drifting snow and create a deep snow cover will benefit a forsythia shrub and help prevent winter die back.

Forsythia can be a unruly looking shrub and some gardeners prefer to keep it trimmed or pruned to enhance its shape.

Like all spring flowering shrubs, forsythia should only be pruned after the shrub has finished flowering. If pruning is done in early spring before the shrub flowers, flower buds will be removed and if it is pruned too long after it has bloomed, the flower buds that have already formed for next year will be pruned off.

Since forsythia blooms on old wood, it requires the entire summer to form buds for the following year.

Forsythia has a thick growth habit and can be clipped into an attractive hedge or rounded form.

It makes a good addition to a mixed shrub border and some of the hardier shrubs, if planted to the north of it, can serve as protection for the forsythia during the winter.

If you want to get a head start on enjoying blooms from your outdoor garden, you might like to cut some forsythia stems after the buds have started to swell, usually about midApril, and put the stems in a vase of water indoors.

The flower buds will soon open and you will enjoy the first blooms of springtime.

BRANDON BUREAU

Chronic flooding of the Assiniboine River won’t be fixed this year or next or the year after, says a spokesperson for a new water management organization.

Nonetheless, if landowners in western Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan want a long-term solution, the time to act is now.

“The old parable is, the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today,” said Allan Preston, who leads the Assiniboine River Basin Initiative.

“If we had started this process 20 years ago, we may well have avoided some of the problems we’ve seen in the last couple of years.”

ARBI supporters want to foster cooperation between Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota on flooding and water management issues in the Assiniboine, Souris and Qu’Appelle river watersheds.

The Prairie Improvement Network, formerly known as the Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council, has been promoting the initiative for more than 18 months.

The concept gained momentum last summer following severe flooding in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba.

Preston told a recent Prairie Improvement Network meeting in Brandon that the inter-jurisdictional group will officially be launched July 1.

The interim directors are developing bylaws, crafting a mission statement and handling all the details needed to establish a legal entity.

“It’s complicated by the fact that we have to register this organization in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and North Dakota,” Preston said.

“But all those things are progressing and will be completed before the first of July.”

Farmers in Manitoba’s Assiniboine River Valley between Brandon and Russell, Man., are frustrated by the lack of action on the river. They have lost tens of thousands of acres of

cropland to spring flooding in four of the last five years.

“We need a (provincial) government that starts working with Saskatchewan and saying, ‘listen you guys, you’ve drained a million acres of land and you’re producing crops on that land,’ ” said Stan Cochrane, who farms with his son near Griswold, Man. “You’ve taken 50,000 acres of land in Manitoba out of production. So what are you going to do about it?’ ” The Manitoba government committed $50,000 to ARBI last year, but the organization is still seeking funding from Saskatchewan and North Dakota.

Preston said government representatives in those jurisdictions are “cautious.” “(They) are asking of us, and rightfully so, what it is we will be doing as an organization that is different from other organizations,” he said.

“We have to demonstrate what the gaps are and how we’re going to fill them. Once we do that, I think the caution will turn towards a more positive approach.”

Preston said other inter-jurisdictional water management agencies, such as the Prairie Provinces Water Board and the International Souris River Board, are government run organizations, while producers and residents of the Assiniboine River basin will have a say in ARBI priorities and projects.

“We’ve got strong support from the Keystone Agricultural Producers, the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan,” Preston said.

He said co-ordinated management won’t resolve water issues in western Manitoba, North Dakota and eastern Saskatchewan overnight, but ARBI has to take action in the short term to establish its reputation and credibility.

“We’re already looking at a number of projects that we could initiate throughout the basin that would give us those ‘quick wins’ within a one or two year time frame.” robert.arnason@producer.com

GRAIN EXPORTS

Bad weather delays Thunder Bay port opening Official says better logistical co-ordination between shippers and rail companies should improve grain movement

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Harsh winter conditions in Ontario have affected Great Lakes shipping routes for the second year in a row.

As a result, the opening of the grain shipping season at the Port of Thunder Bay will again be delayed.

However, this year’s delays will be minor compared to those experienced last spring, says Time Heney, chief executive officer with the Thunder Bay Port Authority.

The first grain ships of the season were expected to arrive in Thunder Bay April 4, about a week later than normal.

“It’s not like it was last year,” Heney said March 25.

“There is open water outside the harbour … and Lake Superior, I would say, is definitely not as bad as last year. But there are areas east of here that have had a much worse winter than normal so I think more of the issues are down there than they are up here (at Thunder Bay).”

The Welland Canal linking Lake Ontario and lake Erie usually opens around March 23 under normal conditions.

Grain ships that wintered below the canal would normally be expected to arrive in Thunder Bay a few days after that.

Despite delays in southern Ontario, the situation at Thunder Bay is not out of the ordinary, Heney said.

Ice breakers have already opened lanes into the harbour area from open water on Lake Superior.

Ice thickness in the harbour is only slightly thicker than normal for this time of year.

Paul Kennedy, manager of CWB’s Mission Terminal at Thunder Bay, said grain trains are still arriving at his terminal from Western Canada.

Grain cars were still being unloaded, but rail traffic was being managed more closely in an effort to avoid rail car backlogs and unloading delays.

“We’re getting to the point where we’re at 95 percent capacity and we’re just sort of looking for places to put away additional incoming traffic

— rail cars — on a day by day basis,” Kennedy said.

“But our first grain ship is expected April 4, so we’re not looking at a situation that’s nearly as bad as …last year. We don’t have any cars stacked up this year.”

Harsh winter conditions on the Great Lakes and a late spring thaw on Lake Superior delayed the opening of Thunder Bay’s shipping season by almost a month last year.

Rail cars loaded with grain were

stacked up in rail yards as terminals waited for their first ships to arrive.

Kennedy said communication between the Canadian and American coast guards, shipping companies, grain shippers and rail companies is vastly improved over last year.

Improved logistical co-ordination should result in more fluid grain movement once the season starts, he added. brian.cross@producer.com

Where once were racoons, a museum shall rise

Elevator moves costly but valuable tourism draw

Fundraising is underway to move the Wrentham elevator, still in working order after 90 years

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

WRENTHAM, Alta. — Ogilvie elevator No. 156 has a kind of settled dignity as it squats along this hamlet’s once proud elevator row.

The 90-year-old dowager is showing its age, but if efforts by the Ogilvie Wooden Grain Elevator Society are successful, it may find new life and refurbishment at the Galt Historic Railway Park near Stirling, Alta., about 30 kilometres away.

The paperwork is pending, but the society took ownership of the elevator in December from local farmer Harold Kuehn, who was using it until the early 2000s.

Ogilvie 156 is still in working order, though birds and raccoons have been its most recent visitors of late, judging by the calling cards they’ve left behind.

It has a capacity of 32,000 bushels and stands about 80 feet tall.

“This is the last one that still has the lettering on it … and still has the vintage shape as it would have looked in the ’20s and ’30s, so that’s why it’s very significant to us,” said elevator society president Jason Sailer.

Ogilvie Flour Mills, based in Manitoba, built 43 elevators in Alberta and operated them from 1909 to about 1960, said Sailer.

Much of the grain that flowed through the Wrentham elevator went to the company’s flour mill in Medicine Hat, Alta.

The elevator was sold to Alberta Wheat Pool in 1958, and in 1968 it was sold to Wesley Kuehn, Harold’s father.

The latest owner is now raising money to move and preserve it for historical purposes and tourism.

Sailer and society vice-president Cody Kapcsos are the main drivers behind the project, supported by a board of directors.

“We’re all like-minded people about grain elevators and preservation and stuff,” said Sailer, as his steps stirred the dust that has settled inside the elevator.

Grain rattles into an unseen overhead hopper as he moves the levers that hang like stalactites at the track

side of the building. He points out the grain cups, the vintage weight scale, the Gerber wheel and the working man lift.

The walls bear remains of posters, now tattered. A dusty trouble light hangs among cobwebs.

“Everything’s pretty much the same as it was,” said Sailer.

“Everything works. The scale works, the leg works and the man lift works.

There’s little bits and pieces scattered around. It’s kind of like a time capsule. It’s kind of neat.”

Across a wooden walkway pocked with holes, Sailer unlocks the agent’s office, revealing pressed tin walls and a belt-driven engine. A nest of mysterious ownership and old cigar packs lying on the floor are evidence of various visitors over the years.

“As soon as we got the bill of sale from Harold, the next day we put locks on the doors and covered over the windows,” said Sailer.

Back on the track side of the building, a bullet hole shows the wisdom of taking protective measures against future vandalism.

The office, the driveway and the annex are all part of the moving plan, which is estimated to cost about $100,000.

That is going to require some fundraising, which Sailer said the society is prepared to undertake.

“We’re going to have to be a little creative on the grants and such,” he said. “It helps, now that we have the charitable status, that we can actually access a lot of these grants.”

Open houses and benefit concerts are other ideas under consideration.

Sailer is also looking for more photographs of the elevator.

“It’s so hard to find photographs,” he said. “The only ones I’ve found are just in the history book and they’re not the greatest quality.”

If the move comes to fruition, Ogilvie 156 will take up residence near the Coutts Sweetgrass train station that is a showpiece of the Galt Historic Railway Park.

Sailer remembers a time when wooden grain elevators were the sentinels marking towns across the Prairies.

The old facilities are educational attractions

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

If you want to move a grain elevator, you’ve got to have deep pockets.

That’s what Gord Ross says, and he has experience to back him up.

Ross is president of the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village Museum, located just south of Moose Jaw. In 2007, the museum moved a 1913 Warner Victoria McCabe grain elevator from west of Eyebrow, Sask., a distance of 100 kilometres.

“That was the shortest route that we could get it without moving too many power lines. That’s where the cost comes in,” said Ross.

The move cost $60,000 and was worth every penny.

“It’s a great draw and we’ve had so many comments about it. It was worth the work and the money,” he said.

Ross has heard about a project to move an Ogilvie elevator from Wrentham, Alta., to Stirling, Alta., and wished the organizers well.

The Sukanen elevator celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013, and it received a paint job and new shingles on the driving shed in preparation for the party, which drew a large crowd.

Ross said it continues to be a tourist draw, and there are plans for displays to help explain the workings of wooden grain elevators. barb.glen@producer.com

INVASIVE SPECIES

Nose for business keeps traffic flowing at U.S. border Dogs sniff out zebra and quagga mussels hidden on boats

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It took about 20 seconds for Wicket, a specially trained dog, to find a zebra mussel hidden in a boat motor near the Coutts, Alta., international border March 20.

The dog’s skill showed to advantage Alberta’s new mandatory boat inspection law, soon to be enacted.

Three dogs are tasked with finding zebra and quagga mussels on watercraft before they enter provincial waters.

Wicket, Lily and Orbee, which were trained by Working Dogs for Conservation, will be sniffing watercraft at this particular station for the next eight weeks during “snowbird migration,” when Canadians who winter in the United States bring their boats home.

Inspection stations will be located at commercial vehicle weigh stations and main points of entry to the province.

“It is important to note that while the sniffer dogs can never replace people, they are proven to conduct inspections in a much more accurate and timely manner, so this will ensure that this great asset allows us to conduct the inspections by cutting down on the wait times for people that are having their boats inspected,” said Alberta environment minister Kyle Fawcett.

Jeff Austin, a peace officer trained in boat decontamination, said only five U.S. states and three provinces are free of zebra and quagga mussels.

British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, along with Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, have managed to keep them out.

The invasive species clog water infrastructure, destroy aquatic ecosystems and damage recreational opportunities in ponds, lakes and reservoirs.

There is no effective way to kill or remove them once they take hold, and they can multiply rapidly.

Bob Chrumka, chair of the Eastern Irrigation District, said southern Alberta’s farmers are well aware of the threat the mussels may pose.

The Alberta Irrigation Projects Association is helping fund seasonal watercraft inspectors and find and train Canadian dogs to do the job.

The current pack of inspector dogs comes from Montana.

“Our whole conveyance system is at risk, from our reservoirs where the water first comes in, the recreational opportunities along those reservoirs … to the outlet structures out of the lake, which are inlet structures to our canals,” said Chrumka.

“It’s not a war we’re going to win. It’s an annual battle we have to wage because it’s not going to go away.”

The Alberta irrigation system includes 7,000 kilometres of canals and another 4,000 km of pipelines, all of which could become infested should mussels escape initial notice.

Fawcett said the amended provincial fisheries act will give greater powers to enforcement officers to search boats and detain any that do not comply with decontamination procedures if that is deemed necessary.

Water heated to 60 C will kill mussels on surfaces, and Alberta has several mobile decontamination

units that can provide it.

Austin, who did boat inspections last year, said most people are cooperative.

“Sometimes if the boat has too many internal compartments and we don’t feel we could reach all those areas … we may have to consider keeping the boat out of water for a period of 30 days,” he said.

That is long enough to kill the mussels, but inspectors will favour education over enforcement, he added.

Inspectors found several boats last summer that were carrying zebra mussels into the province. Austin himself discovered about 50 mussels

on one craft being hauled from the Great Lakes.

Aimee Hunt, director of operations for Working Dogs for Conservation, said only one in 1,000 dogs is suitable for the mussel-sniffing task.

“They have to be really focused on what they’re doing, so it’s kind of a combination of toy drive and search drive and focus.”

Wicket, the dog who showed her skills last week, came from a Montana animal shelter and has worked for 10 years in seven countries and on 26 targets, said Hunt. barb.glen@producer.com

PRUNING BAN FIGHTS DUTCH ELM DISEASE Alberta’s elm pruning ban started April 1 and runs until Sept. 30.

The Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease has guidelines for handling elm wood to help keep the province free from Dutch elm disease.

Elm wood can harbor the elm bark beetles that carry the deadly fungus.

Stored, pruned and dead wood needs to be burned or buried by March 31 to kill their habitat.

The beetles feed on healthy elms and breed in dead and dying elm trees. An elm tree that is infected with Dutch elm disease will die within that year. Improper pruning kills or ruins many trees every year. Trees should be pruned by a professional certified arborist.

CALGARY (Reuters) — Canada’s top rodeo is feeling the impact of the global oil price plunge, with bids to sponsor one of the Calgary Stampede’s main events down more than 20 percent from last year.

Chuck wagon races are among the Calgary Stampede’s headline events.

The rights to advertise on top riders’ chuck wagon canvases are sold each spring in an auction. This year, bids fell 21 percent from 2014 to $2.782 million, reflecting the mood in a city where layoffs in the oil sector are mounting.

Despite the slide in bids, the 2015 total was still well above the $1.692 million bid in 2009 following the last major oil price crash.

The record auction year was 2012. the Stampede’s 100th birthday, when sponsors bid $4.015 million.

SOYBEAN ALTERNATIVE

Fababeans economical, environmentally friendly Research shows the beans fix more nitrogen into the soil than field peas

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

THREE HILLS, Alta. — More than half a million acres of fababeans would be grown on the Prairies if Paul Wipf had his way.

The farm manager of the Hutterian Brethren colony at Viking, Alta., has fallen for fababeans in a big way after the manager of the colony’s hog operation convinced him they needed to grow more of their own rations.

Their livestock nutritionist suggested fababeans as a substitute for soybean meal, and in 2013 they planted 350 acres in sandy soil in the semi-arid region of east-central Alberta. The yield was about 65 bushels an acre.

The colony expanded to 850 acres last year and averaged 70 bu.

The crop was fed to the hogs, and the surplus was marketed offshore for $8.75 a bu.

The colony also consults with an agronomist, who provided advice on managing the crop from seeding to harvesting.

“With fababeans, there isn’t a lot of experience in the industry,” Wipf said at an Alberta pulse growers meeting in Three Hills March 24.

“We had nothing but a good experience.… It is now my most favourite crop for harvesting.”

The plan is to seed 1,000 acres this year.

“With the fusarium and the clubroot, I wish we had a greater market for it because a third of my crop would be fababeans,” he said.

The colony worked with nutrition researcher Eduardo Beltranena of Alberta Agriculture and the University of Alberta on how to provide a well balanced ration and save money on imported feed. The pigs adjusted to the feed and seemed to find it palatable.

Soybean and canola meals are added to hog rations along with pulses such as peas for added protein, but it can be expensive.

Soybean meal is imported from the United States and costs about $600 per tonne by the time it arrives in Alberta.

Wipf calculated there are 5.2 million hogs on the Prairies, and the average intake is 1.62 kilograms of feed per day.

Adding fababeans to the hog rations at an inclusion rate of 24 percent would require 540,000 acres to produce 738,000 tonnes a year.

“I think there is a great opportunity for fababeans to go into the hog industry,” said Wipf.

Beltranena has been studying the advantages of fababeans and recommends them.

“We are entirely replacing soybean meal with fababean,” he said.

“We don’t need to focus entirely on the protein. The starch is the greater yield of the fababean, and that is what pushes hogs out of the barn.”

Fababeans have 28 percent protein compared to 23 percent in peas.

The Viking colony saved $8 per hog by substituting fababeans with imported meal, which resulted in an overall saving of $40,000 for the 200 sow operation.

Harvest can be tricky and can result in mushy beans and harmful mycotoxins if the crop is combined

with too much moisture.

However, Beltranena said the inner core is still usable if the hulls are removed.

The colony also added fababeans to its poultry rations at 15 percent, and the results have been favourable.

Fababeans come in low tannin types with white flowers and high tannin varieties with coloured flowers. The high tannin levels result in bitterness and livestock turn away from them.

Research has found that adding zero-tannin fababeans does not affect average daily feed intake or

gains, nor is there an effect on carcass quality.

As well, fababeans fix more atmospheric nitrogen into the soil than field peas.

Fababeans are a new crop for Alberta but have gained considerable popularity since 2012.

Farmers planted 100,000 acres of the crop in Western Canada last year with Alberta accounting for nearly 80,000 acres. That’s up considerably from the 2,750 acres grown in Alberta in 2004. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

A sophisticated imaging machine at the University of Saskatchewan is under-used in plant research, says an official with the Canadian Light Source.

The facility has seen greater use by soil chemists, but projects have shown that the technology also has “huge potential” for variety development.

“We took the initiative ourselves to demonstrate to people what the capabilities are,” said Chithra Karunakaran, a staff scientist at the Canadian Light Source, where researchers can use a synchrotron and beams of light to study the makeup of organic matter.

The centre received $250,000 from the provincial government’s Agriculture Development Fund last year to conduct proof-of-concept experiments “in some of the areas currently least well served,” which includes imaging of plant stems, leaves, root growth and nodulation.

The information can help breeders identify genetic markers for new varieties, introducing greater resistance to disease and stress, improving crop performance and maintaining or improving yields.

Karunakaran said projects have included studies of fusarium head blight in wheat and ascochyta blight in chickpeas. A canola project is also in the works.

A recently published study from the facility looked at pea varieties and heat tolerance using a “mid-infrared beam line” to study pollen grains and germination in two varieties, CDC Golden and CDC Sage.

“We can look at the biochemistry of these pollens and tell people why this one cultivar fails, whereas the other cultivar does not,” said Karunakaran.

“The combination of beam lights at CLS, it’s very unique in the world, which is very good for agricultural research.”

Researchers say the tests have helped identify why CDC Golden is more susceptible to heat stress. The protein and lipid content of pea pollen grains may be indicators of tolerance, they added.

“Genotypes with pollen that has heat resistance have maintained pollen vigour and increased pollen germination, allowing for a greater success in fertilization,” the study said.

More research is planned to further examine lipid chemistry in pea varieties, which could eventually find its way to the field. Researchers identify heat stress as an important trait for the crop, considering the challenges expected from climate change. dan.yates@producer.com

WORLD PRODUCTION

EU rapeseed in good shape; average yields expected A drop in yields can’t be blamed on the ban on neonicotinoid pesticides, says an analyst, citing a bumper crop last year PARIS, France (Reuters) — Rapeseed crops in Western Europe are emerging from winter in reasonable condition.

The news eases concerns that a mild autumn and a ban on common pesticides would lead to widespread damage, analysts said.

This year’s European Union rapeseed harvest should be smaller than last year’s record crop, but yields and output were still on course to surpass the average of recent years.

The EU’s crop monitoring service expects an average rapeseed yield of 58 bushels an acre, 9.4 percent below last year’s level but 3.7 percent above the five-year average.

The European Commission, in its initial harvest outlook this month, expects rapeseed production at 21.1 million tonnes, down 12 percent from last year’s record 24.1 million but 4.3 percent above the five-year mean.

“Rapeseed yields in the EU should be pretty good if weather conditions remain favourable,” said Antoine Liagre of the ODA consultancy.

Analysts had cautioned that insect predation in Britain and Germany and mild weather in autumn and early winter would leave rapeseed vulnerable to frost and further reduced a seeded area that was already down from the previous year.

Some observers also warned that the EU’s withdrawal of neonicotinoid

A statue of the Virgin Mary sits in a rapeseed field near Sarvar, Hungary. The European harvest is expected to be smaller than last year but the total yield should exceed the average. | REUTERS/HERWIG PRAMMER PHOTO pesticides, which are widely used to treat rapeseed and blamed for contributing to a sharp decline in bee numbers, would harm crop prospects, notably in Germany.

“The neonicotinoid ban has caused problems but is not the reason for the drop in yields,” a German analyst said. “The rapeseed crop will reach a good average level but you cannot expect last year’s bumper result to be

repeated every year.”

The association of German farm co-operatives expects the country’s 2015 winter rapeseed crop to fall 16.6 percent from last year to 5.20 million tonnes.

In France, rapeseed had benefitted from a moderate winter and drier conditions this month after a damp February.

“Crops got through winter without

major problems given the absence of severe frosts,” said Fabien Lagarde of the oilseed technical institute Cetiom.

“Zones that were affected by excess rain are seeing conditions improve with the drier weather.”

British rapeseed conditions were satisfactory.

“We’ve had quite a normal winter in terms of rainfall and temperatures

with no extremes,” said analyst Susan Twining of the crop consultant company ADAS. “We’re not expecting cabbage stem flea beetle damage to cause any widespread yield losses.”

The EU pesticide restrictions had raised concerns about damage from cabbage stem flea beetles and peach potato aphids, and Twining said the latter would still have to be monitored.

Gov’t plans to eliminate 2,000 positions

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Blame Alberta’s tough love budget on falling oil prices.

The drop in oil prices means Albertans will now pay higher taxes on tobacco, alcohol and fuel.

Personal income taxes will rise, traffic violation penalties will jump and fees for everything from registering a birth certificate to a death certificate will go up.

Albertans who earn more than $50,000 will pay a new health care levy of up to $600 a year, while higher paid residents will pay $1,000.

The increased taxes and fees will help offset the hole left by the dropping oil prices and are expected to raise $1.48 billion in extra revenue this year and $2.7 billion next year.

“In talking to Albertans, they made it very clear they didn’t want to see service cuts,” said finance minister Robin Campbell.

The extra fees and taxes still fall short of balancing the budget, which leaves a $5 billion deficit in the 201516 budget, the largest in recent Alberta history.

“This has been one of the hardest budgets developed in many years and it has required tough decisions.

It is not the reality we were expecting as recently as last fall,” said Campbell, referring to the dramatic drop in oil and gas prices, which Alberta relies on for revenue.

The government also plans to reduce spending by $3.75 billion to a total of $48.4 billion by eliminating more than 2,000 positions and cutting spending in almost every ministry.

To soften the financial blow, the province plans to borrow $4 billion from the $6.5 billion stashed in the Contingency Fund and continue dipping into the fund for the next two years, by which time only $1 billion will be left in the savings account.

Campbell hopes Alberta will have started to wean itself off oil and gas revenues by then and will be able to start returning money to the contingency fund.

“This is the balanced approach that Albertans want and our economy needs,” he said.

There will be no provincial sales tax, no changes in corporate income tax rates and no change to the oil and gas royalty structure. However, personal income taxes will increase.

Campbell said he couldn’t risk increasing corporate income taxes with Alberta in such a fragile financial position.

“We understand Alberta is in a vul-

nerable position right now and reactionary decisions could cause more harm than good,” he said.

“Government will not add to their burden and risk more layoffs by increasing corporate taxes or changing our royalty structure. This is not the time to be putting more pressure on businesses.”

Fuel taxes will increase four cents to 13 cents per litre, and the tax-exempt fuel use program and farm fuel benefit will be capped at nine cents per litre.

The personal income tax rate will increase from 10 percent to 10.5 percent and eventually reach 11.5 percent by 2018.

“We are asking those who can afford it to pay a bit more.”

Interim Wildrose leader Heather Forsyth said the budget hits average Albertans hardest.

“It’s the largest tax increase in the history of Alberta, the largest deficit in the history of Alberta,” said Forsyth.

Health and education will take the biggest hits. The health budget will decrease $160 million and 1,695 jobs will be eliminated, mostly through attrition. The education budget will increase by $145 million but must absorb increased population and yearly cost increases.

“We’re asking departments to absorb population plus inflation growth, asking them to absorb contract negotiations and wage increases. There is going to be real pain to those decisions.”

Interim Liberal leader David Swann said everyone should share in the pain, including corporations.

“I don’t see the addition of an extra levy on health care being helpful, especially to the middle class,” he said.

It’s widely believed premier Jim Prentice will call an election within days, using this budget as the basis for his party platform.

Campbell said it is a budget he feels confident talking to with Albertans.

“I think it is a pretty balanced approached. I have no issues going to the doors in my riding selling this.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

THE PROVINCE PLANS TO BORROW

$4 billion

FROM THE CONTINGENCY FUND

EDMONTON — Agriculture was not left untouched in Alberta’s provincial budget, but its core services will remain intact, said associate a g r i c u l t u r e m i n i s t e r Ev e r e t t McDonald.

“I think we have a very balanced approach to our budget,” he said.

“We are in very difficult times right now and I think all of Albertans know we need to step forward and do our part. Our core programming is sound and we will continue to use as many tools as we can to help Albertans especially expanding our rural economy.”

Forty positions will be eliminated in the agriculture department and the Agricultural Financial Ser-

vices Corp. Nine AFSC offices will be closed, which will reduce the number of offices to 46 from 55.

Seventeen positions will be eliminated.

The agriculture department will lose 23 staff in offices across the province.

The fuel tax was increased four cents a litre to 13 cents per litre after the budget was released.

The Farm Fuel benefit and tax exemption fuel use program will be capped at nine cents a litre.

The Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency budget will be cut $4.8 million to $32 million.

The two largest agriculture societies, Northlands and the Calgary Stampede, will each have their budgets cut by $2 million.

The other regional agricultural

society budgets were untouched.

Al Kemmere, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said his organization was “relatively happy” with the budget, especially the government’s decision not to cut Municipal Sustainability Initiative grants that rural municipalities use for infrastructure funding.

“We were expecting a harder line budget than that,” said Kemmere.

“From a rural municipalities point of view, we’re always looking for more funding for our bridges and our roads.”

Kemmere said the association will continue to advocate for money to repair and maintain roads and bridges. mary.macarthur@producer.com

HEALTH REPORT

U.S. gov’t crafts first-ever plan to fight superbugs NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) — The United States White House is expected to soon issue an ambitious plan to slow the growing problem of antibiotic resistance over the next five years.

The plan will likely require massive investments and policy changes from a broad array of U.S. government health agencies, according to a copy of the report.

The 60 page report is the first ever to tackle antibiotic resistance so broadly. It was compiled by a government task force led by the administration’s top officials for health, agriculture and defence.

Doctors and health experts have warned for decades that rising rates of bacteria resistant to key antibiotics are causing tens of thousands of deaths, threatening modern medical advancements.

The goals include drastically reducing the rates of infections of the most deadly antibiotic resistant

bacteria within five years, investing in new diagnostic tools and antibiotic drugs, and improving antibiotic use.

Other tactics include surveillance and prescribing practices in livestock and hospitals and increasing international collaboration through foreign ministries of health and the World Health Organization.

A broad-based approach is necessary, experts said, because overuse of antibiotics from hospitals to U.S. farms has created a problem that has grown out of control.

In January, U.S. president Barack Obama’s administration proposed doubling the government’s investment in antibiotic resistance to US$1.2 billion.

“We’ve never seen something this sweeping and comprehensive,” said Amanda Jezek, vice-president for public policy and government relations at the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that two million people are infected with resistant bacteria each year and 23,000 die, which experts say is a conservative estimate.

Under the plan, the CDC will aim to reduce rates of the most deadly and widespread infections.

Hospitals will be required to implement programs to increase infection controls, such as judiciously washing hands, hospital surfaces and equipment, and reducing the use of antibiotics in patients.

Doctors working with the government’s Medicare and Medicaid health plans will be required to report their prescribing patterns for antibiotics, particularly when used to treat nonbacterial infections, such as common colds.

The plan calls for CDC to increase its screening of people arriving from countries with high rates of multidrug resistant tuberculosis.

The CDC currently screens 500,000 such arrivals per year, and the plan calls for doubling that within five years. Up to 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock and poultry, said Sujatha Jahagirdar, program director at the consumer group U.S. PIRG Stop Antibiotics Overuse.

Jahagirdar noted that the report’s recommendations fall short of policies adopted by companies such as Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., which seeks to buy completely antibioticfree meats. McDonald’s Corp. recently announced plans to phase out purchases of chicken raised with antibiotics vital to fighting human infections.

The plan recommends that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Department of Agriculture take further steps to curtail the use of medically important classes of antibiotics for growth promotion in animals raised for human consumption. It

did not set a specific goal or say how the agencies will be held accountable.

“President Obama gets an A for tackling this problem from multiple angles,” said Jahagirdar.

“But in terms of addressing the biggest problem, the troubling overuse and misuse of antibiotics on large factory farms, the administration gets an incomplete.”

The government hopes to help put two new antibiotic drugs on the shelves and fund development of a diagnostic tool that would quickly tell doctors whether patients have a bacterial or viral infection, which would improve prescribing.

Because few new antibiotics have been developed in the past decade, hospitals have increasingly been forced to use colistin, a toxic antibiotic approved for use in the 1950s, as a drug of last resort.

(Reuters) — Delays in finalizing U.S. legislation to speed free trade deals through Congress are casting a cloud over a 12-nation trade pact many thought was near completion.

Officials from six countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership said the lack of clarity over the conditions Congress would impose on U.S. negotiators was a stumbling block for the talks, frustrating some of the U.S.’s major trading partners.

The partnership is a key part of the U.S. “pivot” to Asia.

Canada and Japan are insisting on trade promotion authority legislation, which allows lawmakers to set objectives for trade deals in exchange for a yes-or-no vote, before closing the deal, said a source from one of America’s negotiating partners who has direct knowledge of the talks.

Japanese economy minister Akira Amari has also said it would be difficult to reach a U.S.-Japan agreement, a key stepping stone to the wider deal, without trade promotion authority.

“You don’t want to do a deal and then the next day they tell you that what was agreed is not enough,” the source said.

“So to avoid this risk, Japan and Canada are saying, ‘get the TPA and we’ll close the next day.’ “ Senate finance committee chair Orrin Hatch, a Republican, and the committee’s top Democrat, Ron Wyden, are at odds over Wyden’s push for Congress to have a greater role in deciding whether final deals pass muster, which may help win over trade-skeptical Democrats.

Hatch said an agreement with Wyden was unlikely until after Congress returns from a two-week break in mid-April, and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell

said he hopes a bill can move quickly then.

Once a bill is introduced, other lawmakers have their own pet issues, and trading partners fear a long process of amendment and counteramendment to a bill that Hatch had hoped to present in February.

“Everyone is now drawing up their lists and they’ll say, ‘I’m giving you TPA, but you have to respect all these criteria,’ “ a non-U.S. trade official said.

“If we start (the process of getting TPA) state by state, and a congressman is asking for this and that, do you know how many trade-offs there would be?”

New Zealand trade minister Tim Groser said he did not know whether the lack of trade promotion authority was a genuine argument or a “facade.”

Still, the only way to remove the hurdle was to pass the authority, he said.

A source familiar with Japan’s stance said given the current situation, it was unclear when Japan and the United States could reach a side deal on farm and auto exports, another stumbling block to finishing the wider deal “It is too far-fetched to say a deal is almost done. I’d not say we are very far apart, but I’d say there are still very serious issues pending that require a solution, which I don’t see,” the source said.

The first official said TPP members were working toward a ministerial meeting on the sidelines of an AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation trade ministers’ meeting in the Philippines May 23-24. That could be an opportunity to close the deal.

Apart from the trade promotion authority and the Japan-U.S. agreement, “I would say we are very close, we are really close,” the official said.

It revealed 41 percent of bison producers plan to expand their herd in the next five years.

• These massive animals, characterized by their long, shaggy brown coats, have poor eyesight but acute hearing and an excellent sense of smell.

The association’s numbers put the bison herd at about 220,000 when BSE closed the border to the U.S., in 2003. But they now estimate the Canadian herd size at about 170,000 (135,000 cows plus 35,000 calves) and say the herd is once again expanding.

• Bison mainly eat grasses and sedges.

LOBBY PARTNERS

Canada’s farmers, rural communities need allies, says Joe Clark Former prime minister says farmers need to find sympathetic partners to help lobby government on issues like neonicotinoids

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — A former prime minister has told Ontario’s grain farmers that they need allies to more effectively lobby government on issues such as seed treatment insecticides.

“In order to become an effective minority, there might be some constructive partners, including from within the environmental movement,” Joe Clark said at Grain Farmers of Ontario’s March Classic conference March 24.

“Try to identify people who are not

JOE CLARK FORMER PM

hostile but may be uninformed,” he said. “We need to learn a way to move beyond our own prejudices and begin to see how others view events.”

Ontario’s environment ministry had released its proposed regulatory changes the day before the conference. They would establish neonic-

otinoid seed treatments as a new class of pesticides under the province’s Pesticide Act and reduce their use on corn and soybeans by 80 percent by 2017.

The proposed legislation requires a paper trail related to the sale and application of the insecticides imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and clothianidin, including provisions requiring farmers to demonstrate pest pressure.

Grain Farmers of Ontario, through its Pollinator Task Force coalition, also looks to reduce the level of neon i c o t i n o i d s u s e b u t p r i ma r i l y through non-regulatory means.

The organization said the government lacks “defendable evidence” when making its claims about how the insecticides affect pollinator health and suggested it should better weigh the likely impact on farmers and rural communities before moving forward.

It and the Ontario government agree that pollinator decline is related to a number of factors, of which insecticides is just one.

Clark said in an interview that he knows “very little” about the science surrounding neonicotinoids. His intent in speaking to the issue was to encourage a conciliatory approach

among farmers.

Canada’s farm and rural communities, once a political force to be reckoned with, are now small minorities, he added.

“International migration is responsible for two-thirds of the population growth in most of our cities. In Ontario, it is projected that by 2025, 50 percent of the population will be living in the greater Toronto area.”

Clark said farmers should learn to think in scientific terms, base their decisions on clear evidence and emphasize the economic importance of the agricultural and food industries to Canada.

UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — American farmers want the Federal Aviation Administration to relax proposed regulations on commercial drones so they can be used over longer distances at any time of day or night.

Farm group representatives told a Capitol Hill forum that they will submit written comments to the FAA calling for final regulations to accommodate emerging drone technology for a range of agricultural applications.

They also want to make sure farmers can register drones and qualify to fly them easily, quickly and safely.

“Flexibility is a key term, and access,” said R.J. Karney, a lobbyist for the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Agriculture is seen as a major beneficiary of commercial drones, which could help farmers tend to crops more effectively and economically.

However, proposed FAA rules would allow only drones weighing less than 55 pounds at altitudes of no more than 500 feet, in daylight hours and within an operator’s line of sight.

The FAA is expected to produce final regulations in late 2016 or early 2017.

Wheat growers want a mechanism allowing drones to fly beyond the operator’s line of sight, assuming technology emerges that would safely allow it, said John Dillard, an attorney representing their interests at the forum.

Farm representatives said they also would call on FAA to allow drone flights at night so that farmers can treat crops at optimal hours after sunset. Karney said flights should also be allowed above the 500 foot ceiling.

Paul Delaney, a spokesperson for the American Soybean Growers Association, expressed concern about the potential for cumbersome paper registrations and requirements for aviation markings that could make it difficult to use small drones.

“Those little piecemeal elements of the process — the ones that potentially stand in the way of a farmer being able to buy something, outfit it and have it integrated as soon as possible, those are the ones we really want to make sure are flushed out,” he said.

The forum took place a day after Amazon.com blasted FAA for its slow pace on commercial drones and called on the regulatory agency to plan for more sophisticated operations.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Man. group eager to have farmer input on water drainage

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WINKLER, Man. — Adam Wiebe took time off from his spring farming preparations to attend a day-long meeting about managed drainage.

He left the meeting, which he had heard about only the day before, as a new board member for the Manitoba Agricultural Water Management Association.

That’s exactly what association president Chris Unrau was hoping to see occur at the meeting: getting farmers onto the board.

“I believe that this should be a farmer-run, farmer-driven organization that represents farmers and

CHRIS UNRAU MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL WATER MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION

landowners,” said Unrau.

The association has existed for twoand-a-half years, but most of its members and executive are involved in tile drainage businesses. Farmers are the customers and demand source for agricultural tile drainage, but the provincial association hasn’t been farmer-focused.

That’s not true in Saskatchewan,

where the Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association is farmer dominated. About 150 Saskatchewan farmers belong to the association, which represents at least 700,000 acres of cultivated farmland. Many are in the pothole country of east-central Saskatchewan, which is where the source water of the Assiniboine River arises.

The Manitoba association invited the Saskatchewan group to speak at its meeting, describing Saskatchewan’s stewardship association as a model of farmer-involvement for Manitoba to emulate.

The cross-border friendliness at this meeting is markedly different from the general way Saskatchewan farmers and drainage are treated at many Manitoba meetings, which SFSA administrator Char Slagar addressed frankly.

“We really don’t want to be the ones who are only looked on by Manitoban people as the greedy … up-stream that drain absolutely everything and don’t care whether Manitobans live or die,” said Slagar.

“That isn’t who we are. (But that perception) is what we are faced with on a regular basis.”

Both organizations are focused on the same goal: allowing farmers to drain farmland in an environmentally sustainable and co-ordinated manner. That includes tile drainage and regional drainage systems that hold back water after storms and allow it to be released in a controlled, non-damaging way.

Representatives from both groups said they often face resistance or hostility to any drainage because people don’t understand the difference between managed drainage and ad hoc, unco-ordinated drainage done by individuals.

Slagar said her group got the ear of the Saskatchewan government by being sensitive to its priorities and showing how managing drainage correctly could help meet those priorities.

The Manitoba government is formulating regulations that will define many aspects of drainage allowed in the province, so the water management association wants to be able to provide it with industry and farmer insight.

You might think that when nitrogen fertilizer is in the ground, it’s safe.

New research suggests you need to think again. When shallow banding unprotected urea less than two inches deep, researchers found that nitrogen loss due to ammonia volatilization can be even greater than unprotected broadcast urea. Protect your nitrogen while maintaining the operational efficiencies of side banding or mid-row banding at seeding by using AGROTAIN® DRI-MAXX nitrogen stabilizer. Whether you choose to band or broadcast, you’ll be confident that you’re protecting your nitrogen investment, your yield potential and your return on investment.

ADAM WIEBE MANITOBA FARMER

Wiebe said getting a better understanding of the importance of planning drainage and not just doing it or blocking it will be one of his priorities.

“I think there’s a common misperception that farmers don’t care about the environment. We do,” said Wiebe.

“It’s our livelihood. And we’re very closely related to the natural resources and water is one of the key elements we need and we need to manage it well.” ed.white@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE

New agency to handle animal abuse cases The agriculture ministry will provide funding for the Saskatchewan non-profit group to enforce the Animal Protection Act

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A new agency formed mainly by former Saskatchewan SPCA staff has taken over enforcement of the province’s Animal Protection Act. Effective April 1, Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan began a two-year contract with the agriculture ministry to investigate potential cases of animal neglect or cruelty.

The SPCA served notice earlier this year that it would not renew its contract for those services because it preferred to concentrate on education and prevention.

Kaley Pugh, who had been the animal protection manager at the SPCA, is executive director of the new organization.

“For all intents and purposes, it’s actually very similar to how the Sask-

atchewan SPCA operated,” she told reporters at the legislature.

“It’s a non-profit organization, has a volunteer board of directors, a lot of the same staff has moved over. It’s just that the primary purpose of this organization is solely enforcement of the Animal Protection Act.” Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said he is aware of at least three proposals to provide the service after the government sought requests.

“Ms. Pugh came forward with this proposal and it was clearly the best one that was presented to us,” he said.

Stewart said Pugh has probably the most experience in Saskatchewan in leading this type of work.

He said he was disappointed the SPCA chose to end its 40-year association with the ministry but noted animal welfare is a priority and the

work will continue.

Pugh said the number of cases continues to increase, although this year has been quieter. She said that’s likely because the weather was generally milder and possibly because people were confused about who to call after they heard the SPCA was not renewing its contract.

Generally speaking, however, people are more willing to call than they were previously.

“I think part of it is just that the public is just less and less tolerant all the time of situations that they find to be a concern,” she said.

About half of the SPCA’s cases were dogs, 30 percent were horses and 20 percent were cattle. Cases involving sheep, bison, fish, birds, zoo animals and wildlife abuse made up a small percentage, she added.

The agriculture ministry will pro-

vide $610,000 a year for the new service to carry out its work. That is higher than previous years, but Stewart said a budget increase was planned even before he knew the SPCA was bowing out.

“The case load is increasing gradually, not dramatically I wouldn’t say, but SSPCA was down one inspector, so there’s clearly room for a little more staffing possibly,” he said.

“And it’s just more expensive to do business.”

Pugh said the new service has four staff and three vacant positions. Five

of the jobs will be animal protection officers if she can fill the jobs, she added.

It is based in Saskatoon, and its board of directors includes representatives of livestock and veterinary organizations.

The new toll-free number to report animal welfare concerns is 844-3820002, while the email address is inf@ animalprotectionservices.ca.

FIELD ANALYSIS

Satellite god to help India with crop planting NEW DELHI, India (Reuters) — Sher Singh, a farmer from India’s desert state of Rajasthan, prays to Varuna, the Hindu god of water, for a bountiful harvest.

Now, he is also looking to the heavens for satellite imaging to boost his crop.

Prime minister Narendra Modi wants to promote a “per drop, more crop” approach to farming to make better use of scarce water, and aims to have a new satellite crop monitoring system working in time for the peak of this year’s monsoon in July.

Experts say remote analysis to assess soil moisture and crop development has the potential to reduce input costs and raise yields in a country of 1.25 billion where half of workers make a living from agriculture.

Farmers would be able to access advisories on their mobile phones to help them choose seed varieties, apply the right fertilizers or time irrigation, though some are skeptical about how effective the plan will be given natural and other obstacles.

“I hope to cut at least a tenth of input costs with the help of the ‘satellite god,’ “ said Singh, who farms an acre of rapeseed and hopes to use savings to educate his two grandchildren.

Singh said he doesn’t know how much to water his crops, how to apply the right fertilizer mix or even how to select the right crop given the land’s soil type.

Modi’s government rolled out a national Soil Health Card scheme last year modelled on an initiative he launched as chief minister of Gujarat to help farmers plant crops suited to their farmland.

Satellite analysis can also assess vegetation cover down to the field level, which helps determine how a crop is developing and whether it has been harmed by pests or needs more water.

“The idea is to integrate information under the Soil Health Card with satellite images to raise productivity,”

The idea is to integrate information under the Soil Health Card with satellite images to raise productivity.

N. CHATTOPADHYAY WEATHER DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL

said N. Chattopadhyay, a weather department official who is involved in the project.

The approach seeks to apply precision farming methods pioneered in North America that use geo-location technology to help farmers micromanage exactly how much seed, fertilizer or pesticide they apply to their fields.

Drones are often used in the United States and Canada to fly over farms to accurately map soil and crops.

The next-best option is satellite analysis, which is more affordable for India. It uses Normalized Vegetation Difference Index to assess how well a crop is developing.

Chattopadhyay said the analysis can be provided to farmers on a near real-time basis and could also be used for impact assessment after natural hazards such as floods.

India can use its own geostationary satellites, but some see obstacles to its plans, including a need to check findings on the ground or the risk of clouds obscuring images.

“Don’t be under any illusion that the remote sensing based crop mapping technique will be a penance for all problems in the farm sector,” said B.C. Barah, a New Delhi-based agricultural economist.

Ajit Seth, India’s top bureaucrat, has urged wider use of remote sensing to benefit farmers, many of whom live a precarious existence on tiny plots of land.

Slightly more than half of India’s nearly 500 million acres of arable land is rain-fed, leaving farmers at the mercy of an often uncertain monsoon. The remaining arable land is under irrigation, which the government plans to expand by a tenth over three years.

Do you agree that if crop prices have to be globally competitive then input prices also have to be globally competitive?

COMMUNICATION

Ag community needs spokespeople to counter critics Farm sector needs producers to speak up and respond to criticisms and consumer misperceptions, says industry official

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Most Canadian farmers are ignoring the massive public relations challenges within the agriculture industry, says the head of the Baking Association of Canada.

Environmental groups, scientific organizations and policy makers are challenging farming practices like never before.

For example, an agency of the World Health Organization said March 20 that glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the world, probably

causes cancer.

Days later, the Ontario government introduced draft regulations to severely restrict the use of insecticide seed treatments in the province.

Paul Hetherington, president of the baking association, said in an interview that many producers are closing their eyes to the incessant attacks on conventional agriculture.

“The first step to addressing a problem is recognizing you have one. I’m not convinced that the farming community recognizes it has a problem,” he said.

“That denial may not exist with the

leadership … but I just don’t see that’s there’s the urgency or the acknowledgement that there are serious challenges facing the food supply chain.”

Hetherington told the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association meeting in Winnipeg this winter that agriculture and the food industry have entered a new era in which consumers have more information than ever about food production.

Some of that information is deeply flawed, but Canadians have developed expectations and perceptions based on their fragmented knowledge.

PAUL HETHERINGTON BAKING ASSOCIATION OF CANADA PRESIDENT

“We’re in a new world folks, and transparency is all the rage. We’re all going to get scrutinized, more and more,” Hetherington said.

“Producers are going to have to accept it. They may not like it, but that is the new reality.”

As part of that reality, it’s now easy for consumers to compare Canadian agricultural practices to other parts of the world, he said.

“Wait a minute. This practice is not allowed in the EU but it’s allowed in Canada? Why?” Hetherington said he hasn’t heard of initiatives such as Agriculture More Than Ever, which encourages farmers and “agvocates” to cultivate a positive dialogue around Canadian agriculture.

“I don’t see any of this farmer engagement. I’m not aware of it,” he said. “Our organization has not been contacted … to say this is a communication tool for you.”

Owen Roberts, who teaches agricultural communications at the University of Guelph, said agriculture needs more spokespeople.

“I think what’s missing to some extent, maybe to a major extent, are the numbers of people who are in a position to respond to these (criticisms),” he said.

“There are a fixed number of farmers who have a fixed amount of time for communication … (but) just like farmers have traditionally gotten involved in farm groups, I think they need to also get involved in agricultural communication.”

Roberts said agriculture needs engaged and persuasive producers because people trust farmers but are skeptical about farming.

“Agriculture has been villainized as an industry that is not particularly helping (society),” he said.

“It’s the ultimate dichotomy. What are farmers a part of? They’re part of the agricultural sector. But the activists … have managed to get people to forget that the agricultural sector is made up of farmers.”

Nadine Sisk, who leads the communication department at CropLife Canada, said the farming sector responded slowly to the criticisms of agricultural technology and food production practices.

“I don’t think the (ag) community ever believed this would get this bad … because the people who work in agriculture are well intentioned people.”

Producers and farm groups have stepped up in the last few years to counter the negative narrative, she said.

“I think there are an awful lot of really engaged farmers,” she said.

“When I take a look at when I first started with CropLife (seven years ago), it’s been absolutely momentous how much more engagement there is with communication.”

Hetherington said a shift in thinking is needed to effectively deal with the public relations predicament.

“I think producers need to … put themselves in the position of a consumer,” he said.

For example, many consumers who buy a new half-ton want a truck with outstanding gas mileage and tremendous power. Those two features are contradictory, but vehicle manufacturers have devised engines to satisfy the expectation.

If truck buyers aren’t willing to give up on their demands, why should consumers forgo their expectations around food production? robert.arnason@producer.com

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Soybean stocks pile up as Argentine farmers take stand against gov’t

No sign Russia will leave WTO: director general

Growers are hoarding crop due to a 35 percent export tax BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) — Argentine farmers have stockpiled more than twice as many soybeans this year than last.

They are defying a government desperate to increase export tax revenue needed to finance rising state spending ahead of the October presidential election.

Growers say the increase in soybean reserves to 7.4 million tonnes from 3.4 million comes from a 12 percent larger harvest. With another record crop expected this year, farmers are holding onto beans as a hedge against high inflation and low world oilseed prices.

T h e g ov e r n m e n t , w h i c h w a s unable to raise cash in the global bond market after defaulting last year, is pressuring soybean growers to sell so that it can collect the 35 percent tax it slaps on soybean exports.

They are required under a new rule to report each purchase of “silo bag” storage units. Those found to be piling up soy are disqualified from receiving state loans.

“The government is establishing norms to pressure farmers into selling faster, but considering the uncertainties that they are facing, they will not accelerate their sales, which are already brisk,” said Ernesto Ambrosetti, chief economist at the Argentine Rural Society (SRA), which represents big farmers.

Based on estimates from the SRA and local grains exchanges, the 7.4 million tonnes of soybeans held in reserve as of the end of last month accounted for about 14 percent of the 52 million tonnes harvested in the 2013-14 crop year.

They had stockpiled 3.4 million tonnes at the same time last year, which was 7.1 percent of a 48 million tonne crop.

World soy prices are US$354 per tonne compared to $527 a year ago, and farmers are stockpiling to wait out the bear market.

Inventories may rise this year if world prices do not. Forecasts for the upcoming soy harvest are 56 to 60 million tonnes, blowing past the 53.4 million tonne record that the government reported for last season.

Soy can be stored for up to three years in the oblong plastic silo bags that have come to dot the Pampas grain belt.

They are 60 to 75 metres long and hold up to 250 tonnes. About 300,000 of them are sold a year in Argentina at prices starting at $480 per bag.

Sales rose this year, mostly because of a bigger harvest, according to silo bag manufacturer IpesaSilo, which has about 70 percent of the Argentine market.

The government also wants to see more soy sales because growers are required to convert their exports in U.S. dollars into pesos. This feeds central bank reserves that are used to control the devaluation of the currency as the economy slumps under the weight of heavy trade controls.

President Cristina Fernandez is barred from seeking a third term in this fall’s election. Growers hope for

less interventionist policies after the next president is seated in December.

Meanwhile, they say the anti-hoarding rules will not keep them from storing beans.

“We need silo bags and we are buying them. That won’t change,” said Santiago del Solar, a farmer in the bread basket province of Buenos Aires.

RIGA, Latvia (Reuters) — Russia shows no signs of wanting to leave the World Trade Organization, says WTO chief Roberto Azevedo.

The assurance comes despite tensions with the West over the Ukraine crisis and disputes with other member states.

Some Russian parliamentarians have called for their country to pull out of the WTO less than three years after it joined because membership is damaging the economy.

However, Azevedo said he has never heard of any moves by Russia to leave.

“Never, neither officially nor unofficially or any other way,” he said.

“Russia has been a party to disputes in the WTO, and I think every

ROBERTO AZEVEDO WTO CHIEF

single member of the WTO, including Russia, knew that would be the case. Russia is a big economy, it is going to be a very well monitored economy because of its size, because of its importance, because of its relevance.… And it is inevitable that big players will be at one point in time challenged in the WTO dispute settlement mechanism.”

The European Union and the United States have imposed economic sanctions on Russia over its role in the Ukraine crisis, although Moscow denies sending weapons and troops to support separatists fighting government forces in eastern Ukraine.

In response, Moscow has banned food imports from Europe.

The EU said last month it was escalating a dispute with Russia at the WTO over what it said were excessive import duties on paper products, refrigerators and palm oil.

The challenge was the latest in a series of WTO disputes with Moscow, the EU’s third-biggest trading partner, since Russia joined the body in 2012.

GLOBAL STUDY

Soaring antibiotic use on animals fuels superbug fears, scientists warn ROME, Italy (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Developing countries are using livestock antibiotics at such a startling rate that they are dramatically increasing the risk of creating drug-resistant bacteria, scientists have warned.

Global antibiotic use in animals is expected to surge by two-thirds from 2010-30 while doubling in emerging

giants such as China, Brazil, India and Russia, according to a Princeton University study.

It warned that the practice is pushing the world closer to a time when common infections could become a death sentence because they will no longer respond to drugs.

Urbanization, increased wealth and changing diets in developing

countries mean industrial livestock producers are expanding rapidly.

The systematic use of low doses in livestock is creating “perfect conditions to grow resistant bacteria,” said co-author Tim Robinson, a scientist with the International Livestock Research Institute.

Bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella are already be-coming resistant

to antibiotics, which increases fears that these diseases will endanger humans.

He said antibiotic resistant bacteria are passed from animals to people through food contamination, direct contact and the broader environment, which makes it harder for doctors to treat basic infections and other ailments.

Asia is the main region of concern because it is where demand for livestock products is growing dramatically, while regulations governing antibiotic use in animals are either non-existent or not publicly available, scientists say.

China’s livestock industry could soon be using nearly one-third of the world’s antibiotics.

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. government is developing a vaccine to protect poultry from new strains of avian flu that have recently killed birds from Arkansas to Washington state.

Scientists at a U.S. Department of Agriculture research lab in Georgia will test the vaccine on chickens within two months to see how well it prevents birds from getting sick and dying of the virus.

The government has linked the spread of avian flu to wild birds that carry it and then infect domestic flocks.

Progress toward creating a vaccine had not previously been reported.

The H5N8 and H5N2 flu strains have infected birds in eight U.S. states since December, prompting key overseas buyers to limit imports of U.S. poultry.

The world’s biggest poultry producers, including Tyson Foods Inc. and Sanderson Farms Inc., have increased biosecurity at farms to protect their flocks.

The government has no plans to distribute the vaccine yet. Instead, the United States will continue to cull infected flocks and test nearby birds to prevent the virus from spreading.

The U.S. is developing the vaccine in case it needs a countermeasure to the containment strategy, said T.J. Myers, associate deputy director of surveillance, preparedness, and response services for the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

The department will ultimately

decide whether to release the vaccine.

The new strains have been found in wild birds that can carry the virus on migratory routes, so “there’s really no way to predict where the next case might be,” Myers said.

Vaccinating all poultry nationwide is not considered practical or necessary, he added.

U.S. development of vaccines in response to lethal viruses is routine, according to the USDA. Still, the effort illustrates the government’s aggressive response to the disease, which can kill nearly every bird in an infected flock within 48 hours.

Use of a vaccine may be considered if avian flu “gets to the point where we cannot contain it,” said Mark Jackwood, head of the University of Georgia’s population health department.

Zoetis Inc. said it was in contact with the USDA about the flu infections. The company has a vaccine approved for use in countries outside the U.S. The U.S. Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory, which is working on the new vaccine, tested the effectiveness of an existing vaccine in fighting the strains. It did not perform as well as scientists wanted, director David Swayne said.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions is preparing a team to respond if birds transmit the flu to humans, said Michael Jhung, a medical officer for the agency’s influenza division. The risk for human infection is considered low.

The Western Grains Research Foundation is increasing the amount it spends on agricultural research to a record $18 million this year.

It is the most the organization has ever budgeted for research spending in a year and more than double the amount that it spent in 2013.

“Western Grains Research Foundation experienced a tremendous amount of growth this past year,” said foundation chair Dave Sefton.

“As producers, we should all be very proud of this investment in the future of our industry.”

The foundation’s research spending budget has increased significantly in the past two years.

It spent $7.3 million in 2013 and $13.3 million last year.

This year’s budget makes the foundation the largest producer-funded organization that supports agricultural research in Canada.

It was founded in 1981 with a mandate to invest in agricultural research projects that benefit western Canadian field crop producers.

Its income is derived partly from a

mandatory 48 cent per tonne refundable producer checkoff that is applied to wheat and barley produced in Western Canada. Of that amount, the foundation receives 30 cents per tonne, the Canadian International Grains Institute receives 15 cents per tonne and three cents is spent on administration.

Barley check-off rates are 56 cents per tonne, with the foundation receiving 50 cents per tonne and the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre receiving three cents per tonne.

The foundation also manages an endowment fund of $119 million.

Most of that money — about $80 million — was recovered from Canada’s major railway companies after the Canada Transportation Agency determined that they had exceeded railway revenue caps for moving western Canadian grain.

All principal investments in the endowment fund are retained, meaning the fund has grown over time. Investment earnings from the fund are used to support research in all crop types grown in Western Canada, not just wheat and barley. brian.cross@producer.com

OLDS, Alta. — The motto on the coat of arms at the Olds College National Meat Training Centre declares: “revive the art.”

The centre has been operating since 1969, and teachers at the college wants people to think of butchery as an honourable profession.

“There was a period where if you said you were a butcher, people took a step back,” said Brad McLeod, head of the program for the last 15 years.

The recent opening of a spacious retail butcher shop on campus has allowed the program to take a step forward in its efforts to teach its students all there is to know about the meat trade.

The store has attracted customers from Calgary to Edmonton who appreciate a butcher shop that offers specialty products as well as high quality beef, lamb, pork and bison cuts.

“We are drawing people in from a large range because of what we do, how we do it,” said McLeod.

He said the school is the only one of its kind in North America.

Up to 16 students spend 15 weeks learning how to humanely handle animals in the barn and on the kill floor.

The facility, which was designed with help from University of Colorado animal behaviorist Temple Grandin, features non-slip flooring and a quiet environment as cattle, pigs and lambs are led to the stunning area for a humane death.

“Nobody teaches slaughter. Nobody trains butchers from the carcass anymore,” McLeod said.

Ten hogs and five cattle move through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency approved facility in an average week. Lamb and bison come from local farms.

“We learn how to use everything from nose to tail,” said Wayne Mari-

etta, who graduates from the program at the end of April.

Students learn proper slaughter techniques, meat cutting, processing ground meat, sausage making and curing. They will learn recipes and regulations governing food safety.

“All the students are trained on every piece of equipment, so once you get into the industry you will be able to use different pieces of equipment,” Marietta said.

The students come from varied backgrounds. Most are mature students and many are like Marietta, who tried different jobs and now want a career. Students have ranged in age from 16 to 62.

Some are chefs who wanted to learn more about meat cutting, while others started their own shops or found jobs in the meat business in large and small processing facilities. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

MANUFACTURING

New Holland blames ag economy for layoffs The lower Canadian dollar and the loss of Russian markets have affected Canadian equipment manufacturers

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

More than 400 workers at New Holland’s manufacturing plant in Saskatoon will soon be out of work.

New Holland’s parent company, CNH Industrial, confirmed last week that 413 workers, which is more than half of the plant’s workforce, will be laid off beginning in May. Most of the layoffs will be temporary, CNH said in a statement from its headquarters in Burr Ridge, Illinois.

Nearly 340 of the laid off workers are expected to return to the job in August, but another 75 will lose their jobs permanently.

The company said the layoffs were in response to “economic conditions.”

New Holland Saskatoon is Canada’s largest farm implement manufacturer.

The plant produces more than 10 different farm implements used for seeding, tillage and harvesting.

Brand names produced at the plant include New Holland, Case-IH and Flexi-Coil.

Derek Lothian, executive director of the Saskatchewan Manufacturing Council, said market conditions are exerting pressure on all of the province’s manufacturers.

“The pressures definitely have been felt for a number of months now, not only in ag implements but across a wide swath of Saskatchewan manufacturing,” Lothian said.

A down-turn in the oil and resource development industries and weaker prices for agricultural commodities have dampened market optimism in Western Canada and the United States.

“Farm implements in particular have been hit hard,” said Lothian, who is also vice-president of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters.

“With ongoing political unrest in Eastern Europe and Russia, perenn i a l d ro u g h t i n Au s t ra l i a a n d dampened demand, both here at home and south of the border, you have a pretty good recipe for significant challenges in the marketplace.”

The loss of Russian markets and the devaluation of the ruble have significantly affected Canadian manufacturing companies that were exporting goods to Russia and other eastern European countries.

Lothian said the lower Canadian dollar, which is normally linked to increased export volumes, has helped manufacturers in other parts of Canada more than it has helped farm machinery makers in Saskatchewan. That’s because many Saskatchewan manufacturers have built a natural hedge against currency fluctuations.

“The lower Canadian dollar, quite frankly, benefits manufacturers in say, Ontario, a lot more than it does in Saskatchewan,” he said.

“If you’re selling internationally, of

course when the dollar is lower, you’re repatriating more money back home, that’s true. But on the flip side of that, many (Saskatchewan) companies have made the purposeful decision to supply and buy components in American dollars, so when one is up, the other is down. Yes, the lower Canadian dollar probably still does have a net benefit when it comes to exports, but it’s really not as prevalent here as it is in other jurisdictions in Canada.”

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada will investigate the tracks where derailments have taken place and prosecute if necessary, said the federal transport minister. | FILE PHOTO TRANSPORTATION SAFETY

Spate of CN derailments no ‘fluke of nature,’ says transport minister OTTAWA (Reuters) — Three Canadian National Railway derailments in the same area in three weeks, two of them involving oil trains, cannot be explained away as a fluke of nature, Canada’s transport minister said, adding she is satisfied for now with steps CN has taken to prevent another accident.

CN oil trains came off the tracks and caught fire near the small northern Ontario town of Gogama on Feb. 14 and March 7. A third train hauling empty cars derailed in the same area March 5.

“I’m concerned about it ... three in a row is significant,” transport minister Lisa Raitt said in an interview. “There must be reasons behind it. It cannot just be a fluke of nature.”

An initial Transportation Safety Board of Canada probe said track faults could be responsible for all three accidents.

Raitt said the transport ministry, which regulates railways in Canada, has inspected “every single inch of that rail” along the 485 kilometre stretch in question and is analyzing the data.

“They are going to make sure that if they find anything that they will utilize the tools they have, which includes prosecution under the Railway Safety Act,” she said.

In response to the accidents, CN has reduced the speed of trains in the area and boosted its own inspections. Raitt said she was satisfied with the railway’s response “for now.”

Raitt also said her officials would consult academic experts about the risk assessments that CN Rail has done on its tracks “to say, ‘Are we missing something here?’ “ The rapid rise in the transport of crude oil by rail in recent years has increased concerns about the chances of a disaster.

Federal legislators who grilled CN executives at a parliamentary committee meeting March 24 suggested crude oil trains would be safer if they ran with fewer cars.

Raitt said her officials were looking at train lengths as part of their investigation, but expressed little obvious enthusiasm for the idea.

“If we shorten the trains, then you’re going to have more locomotives going and ... more trains and more traffic in Canada and what does that mean?” she said.

In the wake of Lac-Megantic, Canada and the United States both ordered tanker cars be strengthened and are now working together on standards for a new generation of tougher cars.

Canada issued its proposals on March 11 and Raitt said she was confident the two countries would agree on the specifications for a single model.

Fuel and fertilizer costs could go up if provincial governments decide to put a price on carbon, but there will also be opportunities in the form of carbon offsets and biofuel production.

The Western Canada Biodiesel Association is seizing the opportunity to engage with policymakers to figure out what role renewable diesel will play in their climate change strategies.

Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta all have two percent renewable diesel mandates. British Columbia is double that.

“We want to open up the discussion to incrementally grow these mandates to five percent,” said Doug Hooper, director of policy and regulation with the association.

The industry has matured. Infrastructure, such as tanks and blending equipment, is in place at fuel outlets, and manufacturers and retailers are familiar with the product and the quality control protocols.

“We think it’s time now to move things forward,” Hooper said.

“We’ve got production capacity in place.”

The existing mandates have created annual demand for 350 million litres of renewable diesel.

“That is close to one million tonnes of seed if it was all supplied from canola,” said Hooper.

But that isn’t the case. Mandates are being met in part with imported soybean biodiesel from the United States and hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel from overseas that is made from palm and tallow oil.

Still, it is another domestic market for canola oil, and farmers would welcome an increase to five percent mandates.

The Western Canada Biodiesel Association and the Alberta Canola Producers Commission recently met with Alberta’s agriculture, energy and innovation ministers to discuss that province’s climate change strategy renewal plan.

Hooper said Alberta is nearing the end of the first five-year period of its

renewable fuel standard, which makes it an ideal time to talk about the contributions biofuel has made to reducing greenhouse gases and how it fits into Alberta’s new climate change plan.

Alberta is the only jurisdiction that has established a performance standard for biofuel. It is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent per litre.

Hooper thinks it is time to bring that number into line with the European Union and the United States, which have a 50 percent reduction requirement.

“We can do it. We can meet a higher standard,” he said.

It is also a good opportunity to analyze Alberta’s bioenergy producer credit program, which is set to expire next March. The program was established to offset the US$1 per gallon blender’s tax credit offered in the United States.

Ward Toma, general manager of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, said the program needs to be extended.

“Otherwise there is an incentive to move canola oil into the United States, turn it into biodiesel, collect the subsidy and then ship it back,” he said.

“And then we don’t get any benefits.”

The U.S. biodiesel tax incentive expired Jan. 1. The industry is pushing for a multi-year extension of the credit rather than the usual one-year extension.

Hooper said Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario are also reviewing their climate change policies. He expects it will result in new regulations on carbon pricing and greenhouse gas reductions before the end of the year, which is a golden opportunity for the biofuel sector.

“It’s going to be a very busy year trying to sort out how it works and what are the best options for the farm sector and downstream processors like biofuels,” he said.

Hooper doesn’t expect much to happen in Alberta until after the anticipated spring election.

“When a new government is established, that’s when we roll up our sleeves and really get to work on the details,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

AGRONOMY WORKSHOP

More research, rules needed on plant growth regulators The U.S. hasn’t set a maximum residue limit, making sales across the border illegal

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Plant growth regulators could be an important tool for high input cereal growers, but officials are urging farmers to move slowly.

Interest in PGRs has been high since Engage Agro’s Manipulator, which has the active ingredient chlormequat, was approved for use in Canada last year in spring and winter wheat crops.

The product is intended to produce a crop with shorter, thicker stems to fight lodging and protect yields and is approved in most wheat growing countries.

However, Manipulator doesn’t have a maximum residue limit in the United States, which means wheat crops on which it is applied won’t be allowed to enter that country.

Cereals Canada has warned that “it is unlikely that these approvals will be in place before the 2015-16 crop is exported.”

Until the issue is cleared up, growers experimenting with the product are advised to first consult with grain buyers.

“I know there’s certainly concern

We don’t have widespread lodging, but if you’re in a situation where you have high nitrogen, high moisture, I think this is going to be an excellent risk management tool.

out in the industry, as there should be,” Sheri Strydhorst, an agronomy research scientist with Alberta Agriculture said in a telephone interview. She said she fielded multiple requests this winter to talk to producers about PGRs. At an agronomy workshop in Watrous, Sask., last week, farmer Ed Thibault said he was eager to “play”

crops, so you’re willing to apply more and more, so PGRs have come back onto the playing field,” she said.

Etherel from Bayer CropScience had been suggested for use in Western Canada but is no longer recommended because of a short application window, after which growers could damage their crops.

Pratchler said Manipulator has a larger window for applications, making it “more flexible.” She said growers could make applications from the two to three leaf stage — “typical herbicide timing” — up to the early flag leaf stage.

The best results have been found at growth stage 31 when applied at .73 litres per acre.

“That means an extra field pass because that falls directly in between your common herbicide and fungicide timings,” said Pratchler.

Strydhorst said timing remains important with Manipulator.

“You really want to target growth stage 30 to 32, and that can be a two to three day window,” she said.

“Staging is not anything like herbicides.… You need to be pulling out plants, cutting the base of the plants and looking at how nodes are moving to get this staging right.”

Engage Agro’s large scale trial data found the greatest height reductions in CWRS varieties, which saw a 10 percent height reduction 83 percent of the time and a 10 percent yield gain 55 percent of the time.

Pratchler said small plot trials conducted by NARF and the Indian Had Agricultural Research Farm have found positive results in Canada Western Red Spring and Canada Western Amber Durum crops.

Pratchler offered an economic breakdown on Manipulator’s performance at a price of $13.84 per acre and assuming a $5 per bushel price for wheat. She said yields needed to increase 2.8 bu. per acre in CWRS for producers to break even, which is achievable.

Producers are also likely to break even on durum crops, she said.

“You’re more than likely going to at least cover your minimum line,” she told producers in Watrous.

with PGRs, but that the U.S. access issue was a “deal breaker.”

could push yields higher by adding fertility, but it doesn’t help you to add fertility if the whole damn thing lays down and makes a mess,” he said.

Strydhorst said PGRs are promising, but researchers have yet to determine what varieties perform best, how protein content is influenced and how PGRs are affected by climatic conditions.

For example, Manipulator’s label warns against using the product in crops under stress from water, drought or nutrient deficiency, which can lead to yield losses.

In Watrous last week, Jessica Pratchler of the Northeast Agriculture Research Foundation in Saskatchewan, said further studies are needed to examine variety selection, seeding rates, fungicide applications, root development and water use efficiency and how they relate to PGRs. “When I looked at the large scale data that the industry has put out, to me there is no magical variety that works best across every factor,” she said.

“When you look at red spring (wheat), it looks like the height reduction is the greatest in tall varieties, whereas in durum the shorter varieties are shortening more. Planting a lodging resistant cultivar doesn’t appear to provide any additional benefit. That just goes to show that environment is playing a much larger factor than variety selection.”

Strydhorst said PGRs aren’t for every grower and should be used only in situations where lodging is a problem. They shouldn’t be used in dry regions that are seeing lower yields but hold potential for irrigated growers and those pushing yields to 100 bushels and beyond.

“We don’t have widespread lodging, but if you’re in a situation where you have high nitrogen, high moisture, I think this is going to be an excellent risk management tool,” she said.

PGRs have been used in Europe for decades in horticulture and cereal production.

Pratchler said researchers looked at PGRs in the 1980s, but low cereal prices discouraged use.

“It kind of fell to the wayside, but as you know, you’re trying to get more and more of the yield out of your

FIELD TEST STRATEGIES

On-farm trials take time, but save money Side-by-side strip trials eliminate variables like soil and weather conditions

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A lack of know-how can be a major hurdle that prevents producers from conducting their own on-farm trials.

However, Ross McKenzie of McKenzie Ag Consulting says farmers don’t need to know much, and the benefits can be worth the time.

For example, fungicides can cost $15 to $20 per acre.

“If you have 1,000 acres of wheat, it’s a $20,000 investment ... and if you figured out through a trial that you’re not getting a benefit from it, you can save that 20k.”

Farmers who conduct a field trial for fungicides would only have to buy field markers and then intentionally miss some passes while spraying.

“It will take a certain amount of time, but as long as it’s not a huge investment of time, it can be worthwhile,” said McKenzie.

He said following a few critical rules will help producers conduct a proper trial: • Keep it simple. Work on only one variable at a time, if possible, and don’t exceed three.

• Side-by-side trials are the most reliable. Replicate each treatment four times (with and without), for a total of eight strips parallel to one another.

• Make sure you know what each strip is when applying field markings.

• Monitor yield in each strip separately and accurately. A combine monitor is convenient but isn’t accurate. A grain cart with a weight system will provide better numbers.

“You want to make sure you get a good record of the yield.”

McKenzie said information overload can be a problem.

In many cases good research has been carried out, but producers often want to know how a product or practice will work on their particular farm.

“In other cases, there are new products or practices being promoted and no research has been done,” said McKenzie.

“Usually I suggest that if there’s been no research done in Western Canada by a research station or by an agricultural university, I suggest probably best not to try it on your own farm. You don’t want to be the guinea pig to find out the hard way it doesn’t work.”

McKenzie said producers should look for products or practices that have been demonstrated to work well in different areas of the Prairies and then focus on the options that could work for their situation.

“Try things that have a high probab i l i t y t hat y o u ’ re g o i n g t o g e t response,” said McKenzie.

“Do some testing for a few years, and if you’re finding with and without that you are getting a response, that’s great information to know.”

Farmers should also eliminate environmental and field conditions from the equation by doing a sideby-side strip trial. This allows them to make sure conditions are equal, even if the field or area weather conditions vary.

McKenzie suggested using a strip treatment and then repeating it four times in the same field.

He said just a single strip test in one field is not reliable.

He also pointed out problems with other test strategies that do not use side-by-side testing.

“Farmers might divide a quarter section in half, while another might conduct a farming practice on one 80 acre piece and a new practice on the adjacent 80 acres.

“Then if you have a four bu. yield difference per acre on one side of the field versus the other, you honestly don’t know if that was due to chance and slightly different soil conditions on the one side.”

Replication is the only way to eliminate variability, he said.

Producers can feel comfortable making application decisions after a four strip fungicide trial shows a yield difference of four or five bu. or higher.

For extra assurance, they may want to repeat the trail to confirm it.

“But what if you do the four strips with and without, and the treatment yields higher in two strips and the untreated one has one higher?” said McKenzie.

“You can see there is some variability there. Probably when you do the steps, you’ll find out there is no significant difference.”

Simple statistics should provide growers with answers as to whether there is a significant difference.

Farmers who aren’t comfortable conducting statistical analysis can contact a government extension office.

“To run the stats, the simple field experiment would only take a few minutes,” he said.

“Any researcher would be happy to help a farmer do something like that.”

He said it’s also important to share results regardless of success.

“Often times, local people are putting on extension meetings and if a farmer or two or three go to the effort of testing some product, if they are willing to share that with their neighbours at a local meeting in the wintertime, that would be great,” said McKenzie.

“The more we can share results, positive or negative, the better off the agricultural community in that area will be.”

TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM

Meat sector looks at career approach to attract workers Providing temporary foreign workers with skills will help the agrifood sector expand

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Nearly seven percent of Canadians were out of work in February, including thousands in Alberta who lost their jobs when oil prices collapsed.

However, few of those job seekers will likely consider filling out an application form to work in a meat packing plant, where there are about 1,000 vacancies.

Wayne Marietta, a student at the National Meat Training Centre at Olds College, is willing to work in such a facility. He has worked in retail, taken odd jobs and driven a truck. Now, he wants to settle down.

“I don’t want just a job. I want a career,” he said.

The entire industry needs to adopt that attitude, said Brad McLeod, who heads the program at Olds.

“We need to have a training culture for the entire industry,” he said.

Some of the big players are working with McLeod to offer on-site training for workers that will hopefully give them the skills they need and the desire to work there permanently.

“It is hard to sell because the meat industry is not sexy,” he said.

“We have to treat our employees like they are long-term employees and we have to start adding training,” he said. “ F ro m t h e re w e c a n d e v e l o p leaders.”

Meat plants have relied heavily on imported workers, but sweeping changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program because of reported abuses in other sectors are drying up that source of labour.

Ron Davidson of the Canadian Meat Council, which represents federally inspected facilities, said the Temporary Foreign Worker Program was never the right solution when permanent employees were needed.

He said labour is one of the most significant issues affecting the food manufacturing industry.

“Our whole agrifood sector is being constrained by our ability to get workers,” he said.

Canadians do not see these as desirable jobs and are often reluctant to move to new communities. Past experience has shown that laid off employees are rarely willing to move to a new community when a plant closes.

The meat sector claims it has tried to recruit across Canada from among the unemployed, new immigrants, refugees, aboriginals and young people. Many are urban residents and do not want to go to smaller communities. They also don’t find the job offers attractive.

“The cost of this to the whole Canadian agricultural sector and rural economies is significant,” he said.

The industry has met with federal ministers to discuss the problem, but the solution has been elusive.

We have to treat our employees like they are long-term employees and we have to start adding training.

“We need to continue working with the federal level to get access to workers in our plants in Western Canada, for sure,” said Olivier Lavigne-Lacroix, manager of corporate affairs with Cargill Canada.

“If we look forward five or 10 years, we will start facing similar issues in plants in Eastern Canada.”

Dennis Laycraft, executive vicepresident of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said a large multinational company that is considering closing one of its plants may choose a Canadian facility if it is operating below capacity because of the worker shortage.

The federal government has a hireCanadians-first policy and has said people would stay if agriculture paid better wages.

However, Davidson said most federal facilities are union shops where people are paid fair wages starting at $17 an hour, with health benefits and pension plans.

Manitoba and Alberta have faced the greatest problems getting and keeping workers in their beef and hog plants, he added.

The new regulations don’t allow companies to fill their workforces with more than 30 percent temporary foreign workers, and that must be reduced to 20 percent within four months.

Davidson said Canada requires an immigration program in which foreign workers should possess specialized knowledge and skills. The meat industry has requested that butchers and meat cutters be eligible immediately for inclusion in Canada’s new Express Entry program, he added.

Immigration minister Jason Kenney made a provision earlier this year to allow temporary foreign workers in Alberta who had already made an application through the provincial nomination program to stay for another year.

Finding good staff is a common problem across the country.

The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council has launched an in-depth study into the exact jobs and skills associated with modern agriculture, including livestock, horticulture and crops.

Focus groups are being held across the country to identify skills and training requirements for workers and those doing the hiring. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Mushroom industry laments losing productive workers Under program changes, about 600 skilled mushroom harvesters are forced to return home

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Canada’s mushroom farmers have been hit hard by the country’s agricultural labour shortage.

“We have lots of opportunities to increase the market for fresh mushrooms, but our Achilles heel is labour,” said Bill Stevens, chief executive officer of Mushrooms Canada.

Temporary foreign workers have been used, but many are losing their permits and leaving the country.

“Our members across Canada are losing their most productive workers as of April 1. In fact, some have already gone and some have just disappeared from the farms because they don’t want to leave Canada.”

Many in the horticultural sector have taken advantage of the Seasonal Agriculture Worker Program, in which people come to Canada for up to eight months and then return home.

However, this doesn’t work for mushrooms because they are harvested year round. More greenhouses are also facing the same problem as technology helps them operate 12 months a year.

Mushroom produces have asked for a moratorium on the April 1 deadline before their workers leave.

They say another year would allow them to negotiate for a program similar to the seasonal worker program but extended to 12 months from eight.

“This is a program that has proven its value over 45 years, and they come back year after year as experienced, qualified harvesters,” Stevens said.

“We would like a program that assimilates that but applies to year

round farming enterprises.”

Skilled harvesters are needed to pick mushrooms, and Stevens said it takes about six months to learn the job well.

“The harvesters have to be trained and understand how to harvest mushrooms in order to respond to the marketplace. We are losing our highest, most productive workers,” he said.

“The impact on the productivity of the mushroom farmers in Canada is taking a serious drop and won’t recover until we have trained labour again.”

The industry employs 5,000 people, and 1,000 of them are temporary foreign workers who work mostly as harvesters.

About 600 must soon return home.

The government said farms and processors knew these people had to leave so they should have been prepared. Stevens said these jobs must be offered to Canadians first, but mushroom farms did not have much luck attracting people.

“We are not taking Canadian jobs.

Canadian have first dibs at all of these jobs. They don’t want to work on the farm,” he said.

Harvesters are paid on a piece work basis based on their productivity. They start at the provincial minimum wage and increases to $15 to $20 per hour as they become more skilled.

Workers have been recruited from around the world.

“A lot of them have made a life here,” Stevens said.

“They don’t want to go home, and that is why some of them are disappearing.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Western College of Veterinary Medicine 50 Years of WCVM | 1965-2015 Celebrating 50 years of veterinary education, research and clinical expertise at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM).

WCVM Dean Dr. D.L.T. (Larry) Smith. U of S Archives (A-12145).

When the University of Saskatchewan’s Board of Governors began searching for the first dean of Western Canada’s veterinary college in 1963, their list of criteria was long. Experience in veterinary education and research was a must, but they also needed a leader, a savvy negotiator, a strategist and most importantly — a visionary.

They found their man at the Ontario Veterinary College. Dr. D.L.T. (Larry) Smith was head of OVC’s Department of Pathology and Bacteriology before becoming dean of the new veterinary college on December 10, 1963. Originally from Regina, he was the son of Saskatchewan’s first livestock commissioner and a 1943 OVC graduate. One of the first veterinary academics in Canada to obtain a PhD degree, Smith was the first Canadian to be board-certified in a specialty (pathology) and was an advocate for advanced veterinary education and research.

The challenges ahead of Smith were immense. To meet the federal government’s provision for capital funding, the new college had to take its first class of students by September 1965. In 18 months, Smith had to recruit faculty and staff, develop a veterinary curriculum and carve out suitable class and lab space on campus.

Meanwhile, Smith and his team were feverishly working on building plans — and then making drastic changes when the project’s budget was cut. He was also responsible for negotiating stable support from the western provinces for the college’s annual operating costs.

Smith juggled it all, and no matter how hectic life became, he didn’t lose his ability to connect with everyone from students and professors to university presidents and custodians. “[Larry] Smith brought out the best in all of us,” wrote Dr. Ole Nielsen in a 1988 profile of Smith for the Canadian Veterinary Journal.

Nielsen, who had been hired by Smith in 1964, became the college’s second dean in 1974. After serving two terms as dean, Smith became involved in international development work and was co-ordinating a U of S initiative in Somalia when he died suddenly in 1983.

Smith left his mark on many aspects of veterinary medicine and education in Canada, but he is still best known for his key role in creating a veterinary college for all western Canadians. The Western College of Veterinary Medicine truly is “Larry’s legacy.”

New varieties have improved feed corn production in Alberta, where demand from the province’s livestock sector is equivalent to 1.2 million acres. | FILE PHOTO ALTERNATIVE CROP

Feed corn demand dwarfs production in Alberta Only 40,000 acres of the crop were grown last year

BY BARB GLEN

GROWING CORN IN ALBERTA

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

TABER, Alta. — Alberta livestock producers could use 3.6 million tonnes of feed corn if it was available.

However, that is much more than what is now grown in the province.

Ron Gietz, an economist with Alberta Agriculture, said the shortfall shows the potential for expanded acres.

The feedlot sector could use two million tonnes, the pork sector could use 600,000 to 700,000 tonnes, dairy 500,000 tonnes and poultry about 200,000 tonnes, Gietz told the southern Alberta corn committee March 25.

“That’s just to feed the animals that we have here now,” he said.

“Corn is a good feedstock and energy source for all these animals.

We’ve got a long ways to go if we’re going to meet these demand numbers.”

Meeting Alberta’s demand for feed corn would require 1.2 million acres, which is a far cry from the 40,000 acres that were planted last year, according to Statistics Canada.

Barley acres in the province have been on a steady decline, and Gietz s a i d t h e t re n d i s n o t l i k e l y t o reverse.

That opens the door for more corn acreage, which is possible over a wider geographic area because new varieties require fewer heat units.

He said corn could be grown in eastern Alberta south of Edmonton, given proper conditions and varieties.

Corn needs at least 2,200 heat units to reach maturity, along with at least 500 millimetres of water. However, newer varieties can mature with 2,000 heat units and the same water requirement.

Cons: • High input costs.

Pros: • Good potential revenue and profit.

• Difficult to dabble in.

• Replaces cereals in rotation.

• More capital needed.

• Good fit for livestock.

• Special equipment required.

• Better risk management options.

• ‘Normal’ growing season needed.

• Nearby available markets.

• Vector for fusarium.

• Longer season.

• Tillage and residue management issues.

• Upside yield potential.

• Limited disease concerns.

• Late harvest can be problem.

• Uncertain profits in post-ethanol period.

Livestock producers regularly import small amounts of corn, which becomes essential in dry years.

“There’s going to be strong demand for the product,” he said.

Lakeside Feeders near Brooks, Alta., owned by JBS, feeds a considerable amount of high-moisture corn and has identified several advantages. It harvests high moisture corn, which is flaked or rolled before ensiling.

Corn has 15 to 20 percent more energy per bushel than barley and contains the energy more consistently than barley, Gietz said.

Feed value is high even if the crop is frozen or damaged, and it is easier to hedge on the market.

Manitoba remains the corn leader in Western Canada, said Gietz. It planted 250,000 acres to corn last year, and yields averaged more than 120 bu. per acre.

The province receives more heat units and doesn’t require irrigation.

The economic threshold for corn yields, given the high input needs, is 110 bu. per acre.

“Generally, once you meet that,

production takes off,” said Gietz.

Yields on Alberta grain corn averaged 120 bu. per acre last year, according to Statistics Canada. Barley averaged 67 bu.

Montana corn production has reached a plateau after the ethanolfuelled boom years of 2007-12, Gietz said.

“It’s not that ethanol is going away, but it’s not the imperative that it was.”

American ethanol policies shifted the corn-growing region northward, which means there is now more corn acreage in the Dakotas.

Glyphosate tolerance helped, preventing weeds from getting too competitive when young corn is not actively growing on cool spring days.

Gietz said he doesn’t worry about trends toward grass-fed beef if Alberta ends up feeding more corn to its cattle in the future.

“Corn is a grass, and so is barley and wheat.”

For most stomachs, wheat not a problem: nutritionist Wheat’s nutritional benefits reduce disease, says expert

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — A few Canadians should worry about eating wheat. For everyone else, it’s simply a good part of healthy eating.

That was the core message that a U.S. nutritionist delivered to the recent Grain Farmers of Ontario conference.

“About six percent, maximum, should be avoiding gluten-rich food.

For the rest of us, eat whole grain foods to protect our health,” Dr. Julie Miller Jones said.

Celiac disease, an immune response to the gluten in wheat, is a reality for about one out of every 133 North Americans, Miller Jones said.

Non-gluten celiac sensitivity,

which is similar to celiac disease, may affect another five percent. It’s said to be related to abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea and depression, but Miller Jones said the jury is still out as to whether the condition is real,.

Miller Jones took a two-pronged approach to defending wheat and other gluten-rich food.

One was to counter claims made by cardiologist Dr. William Davis, who wrote Wheat Belly, and other wheat detractors.

She said Davis cherry picked much of the scientific data he uses to back up his theories, which include the idea that cutting wheat from diets can lead to weight loss, that the gliadin content of wheat is addictive and that cereal fibre is not needed in diets.

JULIE MILLER JONES U.S. NUTRITIONIST

Miller Jones said Davis also points to the genetic manipulation of today’s high-yielding, semi-dwarf varieties.

“The distance modern wheat has drifted exceeds the difference between chimpanzees and humans.

What a genetic different once percent can make,” says the www.wheatbellyblog.com website.

Countered Miller Jones: “The gene for the seed-head size is different from the gene for straw length.”

She also talked about the science

that supports the nutritional benefits of wheat and other whole grains, which include reducing disease and obesity — the exact opposite of Davis’s position — and the dramatic reduction of birth defects linked to folate-enriched grain.

She said whole grain has been linked to a 25 percent reduction in the development of Type 2 diabetes and a reduction in the incidence of pre-diabetes.

Miller Jones does agree with Davis’s statement that wheat protein is allergenic but disputes the emphasis he places on it.

“All proteins from absolutely everything have the potential to cause allergic reactions,” she said.

“Wheat is just one of them.”

Miller Jones said the best advice for Canadians is to follow the Canada Food Guide in making dietary choic-

es. It recommends six to eight servings of grain products for people 14 to 50, seven to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit, two to four servings of milk or alternatives (more for teenagers) and two to three servings of meat or alternatives.

“It’s all about balance and that’s hard,” she said.

“People want simple solutions and that sells books.”

Miller Jones is the author of an article in Cereal Foods World examining statements made by Davis’s Wheat Belly and is professor emeritus at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. She also sits on the Healthy Grains Institute’s Scientific Advisory Council.

The institute is a Canadian initiative launched in 2012 to counter what its director, Christine Lowry, refers to as the “war on wheat.”

U.S. farm bill guarantees farmers can cash in

• Smoothest Ride in the Industry – the innovative suspension system 20” of total travel

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — It doesn’t matter which option U.S. farmers choose under the country’s latest farm bill.

According to the president of the American Soybean Association, it’s a matter of cashing in sooner or later.

“In the long run it will probably balance out,” Richard Wilkins said in an interview during Grain Farmers of Ontario’s March Classic conference March 24.

Wilkins said the farm bill that was passed last year gives farmers two options for each eligible crop they produce: agricultural risk coverage or price loss coverage.

They had until March 31 to sign up.

Michigan State University economist David Schweikhardt told a meeting earlier this year that most U.S. farmers will opt for the agricultural risk coverage because it’s likely to put money in their pockets sooner.

Wilkins said neither program is expected to deliver a significant

amount of support for the 2014 crop year.

However, that will likely change this year if the substantial drop in commodity prices that some analysts are projecting materializes.

Wilkins, who farms in Delaware, also said he supports Grain Farmers of Ontario’s efforts to maintain broad access to neonicotinoids.

The province’s environment ministry recently released proposed legislative changes aimed at reducing the amount of insecticide used for corn and soybeans by 80 percent within two years.

“We’re watching the situation in Ontario and the European Union, and the American Soybean Association is a very close ally to the Grain Farmers of Ontario and the Canadian Soybean Council,” Wilkins said.

“Banning neonicotinoids is not in itself going to resolve pollinator health issues. It’s a knee-jerk reaction.”

Wilkins said farmers had to request that neonics be included with their

seed when they were first introduced.

Seed companies began to automatically include the insecticides in corn only after the technology proved so popular.

“The marketplace worked. Today the industry has gone in that direction,” Wilkins said.

Non-neonicotinoid options are available, but close to 100 percent of seed corn and 30 percent of soybean seed is now sold with one of the insecticides, Wilkins said.

The treatment tends to be used more widely in soybeans in more northerly U.S. growing areas.

Mark Brock, chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario, said his organization has spent a considerable amount of time over the past year working on the neonicotinoid issue.

It supports the Know GMO campaign, which is administered by the Farm and Food Care Foundation.

The goal is to air a documentary film aimed at enlightening the general public about the genetic modification of food crops.

Viral and bacterial problems occur in spring during fluctuating cold, warm and wet conditions and are a big concern for producers.

RIGHT: Krista Erickson, an accredited seed analyst at Accu-Test in Rivers, Man., examines a wheat germination test for abnormal, dead seed and fusarium. Each test comprises four repetitions of 50 seeds. The seeds are prechilled for three days at 5 C and then transferred to the growth chamber for seven days at 20 C for eight hours of light and 16 hours of darkness. Spring and after harvest are the company’s busy seasons.

Do you agree that farmers should only pay for advice they ask for and not pay for advice someone else thinks they might need?

GOVERNMENT PRIORITY

China aims to raise grain output SHANGHAI (Reuters) — China will step up efforts to increase grain production this year by providing stronger technical guidance and more credit, the state-owned Xinhua News Agency has reported.

Chinese premier Li Keqiang urged local governments to take more measures to help farmers protect farmland and minimize damage.

China’s state cabinet has already ordered local governments to take up

more responsibility to maintain supplies and increase reserves in the world’s most populous nation.

Vice-premier Wang Yang has also asked for more technical guidance, capital supply and water conservation projects to help farmers improve production and cope with drought.

Local governments have long made the expansion of industries a priority to boost tax income but have lacked incentives to develop agriculture.

PASTURE MANAGEMENT

New approaches to hayland pay off Ranchers have found that new strategies,including permanent watering systems, have boosted hayland performance

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

ELMWOOD, Ont. — Landowners who want to harness the full potential of forages may need to venture beyond the ordinary, says the coordinator of the North Dakota Lands Coalition.

Joshua Dukart, who spoke here March 17, cited the example of four North Dakota ranchers.

Todd McPeak of Driscoll used to maintain both pastureland and hayland. Today, the line between the two has blurred.

“This is what he told me. He said, ‘my hayland is not going to be called hayland anymore. It’s going to be pastureland that I hay once in a while.’ ” The change came after McPeak noticed that the resilience of his hay ground had deteriorated, particularly in drought-stressed years.

Dukart said too much forage had been taken, and too little was being returned.

McPeak began to fence and install permanent watering systems on his hayland. He also reduced his overwintering costs by keeping cattle on pasture longer.

“Having dung, urine, saliva and hoofprints provides a different dynamic than the cutting bar. Now he has hayland that’s coming back around,” Dukart said.

“Production has tripled over the past three years.”

McPeak tries to keep his cattle on the land throughout the year. Hay is baled on the weakest field and additional bales are brought in.

This provides adequate feed, and the dung and tramped hay return fertility to the soil.

He has combined his winter bale feeding strategy with snow windbreaks. Several are built in succession, moving toward the prevailing wind. Hay is supplied in their lee.

Jerry Doan of Black Leg Ranch near McKenzie combines a cow-calf operation with cover crops, cash crops, wildlife habitat and agri-tourism.

North Dakota ranchers have found a host of benefits to alternative pasture management strategies, including reduced overwintering costs, improved soil fertility and easier calving schedules. | FILE PHOTO Changes have been made in an effort to accommodate children who have decided to return to the farm.

Stocking rates have tripled over the past few years.

The farm has 1,500 acres of cropland, and as much as 300 acres has been devoted to a multi-species cover crop, which Dukart said serves multiple purposes on the farm.

Hunters are brought in to control the wildlife that are attracted to the cover crop, largely deer and fowl.

The cover crop is then grazed during late fall and into winter. The vertical structure enhances cattle’s ability

JOSHUA DUKART NORTH DAKOTA LANDS COALITION

to reach plants through the snow.

The strategy allows Dukart to maintain several hundred dry cows on the pasture with an estimated savings of $100,000. The cows had previously been kept near the farmstead and fed hay.

“He told me it felt really weird not having to start up a tractor to feed those cattle,” Dukart said.

Sandy Richter of Menoken is working with cover crop cocktails to improve his sandy soil.

Dukart said the strategy provides an opportunity to increase plant diversity on the farm. Richter uses only warm season grasses and broadleaf species, such as millet, cowpeas, soybeans, turnip, oilseed radish, sunflower and sweet clover.

The mix is grazed but not too heavily.

Dukart said 141 cow-calf pairs were once left on 72 acres of the mix from

Oct, 1-17. The calves gained 3.1 pounds a day for a total gain of 52 lb. apiece, and the cows gained body condition.

Soil health also benefited, and some of the permanent pasture could be rested for a longer period.

Ron Hein of Wing tries to graze cattle 365 days a year, and uses four strategies to accomplish that goal.

• Forages are stockpiled for winter grazing.

• Cover crops and crop residues are grazed.

• Swath grazing can better maintain the quality of standing forages if managed correctly.

• Cattle are also bale grazed.

Hein’s overall philosophy is to provide supplemental feed over the winter months rather than confining cattle in one place and supplying them with stored feed.

The system involves moving electric fences at relatively short intervals.

Hein culls cows to develop a herd better adapted to his system. These tend to be thrifty rather than geared to high production.

He’s also moved to a May to June calving schedule. The calves are left with the cows until the following spring, which allows them to learn from their mothers how to forage under winter conditions.

“Since he changed his system around, his cows have had no problem calving,” Dukart said.

The cow-calf pairs are turned into a cover crop in the spring, and the cows are then pulled off and the calves left.

Several producers in the area have adopted this practice, Dukart said.

Swath grazing can work well and provide better forage than a standing crop, but it requires cutting the forage at the right time.

Bale grazing is used as a last resort.

Hein turns his cattle into a field where the forage was baled and additional bales added.

Dukart said the cattle tend to eat more than normal when a storm is expected and then huddle together to wait out the poor weather.

PASTURE MANAGEMENT

Ranchers need to give land enough time to recover

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

ELMWOOD, Ont. — Recovery time is the biggest consideration for graziers looking to get the most from their pastures.

Joshua Dukart, co-ordinator and field representative with the North Dakota Lands Coalition, emphasized the point repeatedly when he spoke here March 17.

“Recovery time is the most underrated element of grazing,” he said.

“Until we have this part of management in place, we don’t need to worry about how quick we move the cattle or stock density. Without the right recovery time, the rest really doesn’t matter.”

T h e t i m e f o r re c ov e r y v a r i e s according to climatic conditions and soil type.

Dukart said a ranch in Montana leaves pasture for as long as two years before livestock are returned to the same location, while in Ontario recovery time is measured in days and weeks.

He recommended using paddocks that can be subdivided with temporary fencing. This provides farmers with flexibility to design a rotational grazing system that best meets their needs and that can be adjusted as circumstances change.

Plant recovery is as much about what is below ground as what is above, Dukart said. A heavily grazed pasture has a correspondingly short root system and takes much longer to recover.

Farmers must also consider soil biology.

The idea is to bring balance to the soil-plant dynamics to build pasture

capacity. Excessive grazing not only reduces root size, but also hurts soil biology and ultimately deteriorates positive soil attributes such as tilt, nutrient availability, water infiltration and resilience.

“The soil microbes are your underground herd. You just can’t see them very well.”

Dukart said farmers should get off their all-terrain vehicle or horse and take a close look at the situation. This can involve using a shovel to evaluate soil quality and examining plant diversity and the amount of bare ground showing.

He said pastures are over-grazed in three main ways: • The rotation that’s been employed is too short.

• The cattle are left to graze in a location for too long.

• Cattle are turned into a paddock

too early in the spring, which can be solved by establishing one or two sacrifice paddocks that may occasionally be renovated as new sacrifice paddocks are established.

Another problem is that cattle tend to prefer certain sections of the paddock over others, returning to them year after year. This leads to uneven plant removal.

He said the strategic use of temporary electric fences can force cattle to graze those less desirable areas, which can increase forage quantities and provide the necessary recovery time for overgrazed locations.

The same type of uneven grazing situation develops next to water bodies and streams, where cattle like to hang out.

Dukart said producers can provide alternative water sources to encourage cattle to graze other areas or

fence them out temporarily.

The result can be dramatic, as evidenced by before-and-after photographs of riparian areas along streams and ponds.

Dukart said mob grazing is another tool for renovating pastures.

For example, Neil Dennis of Wawota, Sask., turned 330 cattle loose for two days on .2 acres that grew little other than Canada thistle. The process was repeated with the end result being a dramatically improved pasture with no thistle.

Dukart also said producers need to balance their cattle’s needs with those of family members and the soil-plant dynamic.

“You have windows of time when you have to focus on animal performance. At other times there’s an opportunity to work on the land,” he said.

Colourful varieties signs of a changing potato industry B.C. grower sees more small operators and growing interest in speciality spuds

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

The potato industry is trying to reinvent itself as growers look past the decline in french fry consumption and explore the changes in public demand.

British Columbia farmers are leading the way by helping search for innovative varieties that can fill the gaps in demand in their fresh market.

“We have a lot of different nationalities here,” says Bill Zylmans, a potato farmer in Richmond who grows, sells, and brokers seed potatoes.

“The needs, wants and wishes from the potatoes are changing a little bit.

We are going to more specialty potatoes. We are changing our makeup of acreages and, from my stand point in the seed industry, we really have to be very strategic and innovative to keep up with the demands of the public.

“They don’t necessarily … in Vancouver … want a russet potato anymore. They want a yellow or blue or banana potato. So, we’ve got a lot more options out there and yields are different in every variety.

“If I look at the seed industry alone, I haven’t seen any real change of acreage in maybe 10 or 12 years.”

Zylmans attributes most of the re c e n t d ro p i n a c re a g e t o t h e increased yields that new varieties provide.

“I’ve seen a 10 to 12 percent yield increase over the years in production,” he said.

He thinks small, direct marketing farms, which typically aren’t included with bigger players because of the difficulty in counting them, have also taken an increasing piece of the market share.

Farmers are much more innovative today.

BILL ZYLMANS FARMER

“I’m seeing a lot of more small operators in my sales of seed potatoes, and that’s where I focus my numbers, more than I have in the past,” said Zylmans.

“And there are a lot more of them today than there ever were. People are excited about being able to buy what they can actually track as having been grown in their back yard. It’s new, it’s innovative and it’s exciting to see that. So, that’s where you don’t see the real total picture.”

Zylmans also feels that bigger, commercial growers are being strategic in growing for their markets.

“I’ve seen a shift of varieties a bit more,” said Zylmans.

“Farmers are much more innovative today. We are not just in the business to grow things anymore. Farming is a business. Why is profit a swear word? Farmers today can actually put two and two together.”

Zylmans said restaurant customers in downtown Vancouver who order a $40 steak are likely to see it served with an innovative potato.

“You’re not just going to get the old russet baked potato,” he said.

“You know the old line that, ‘potatoes make the meal?’ I still believe it’s true. It’s just slightly different in that we’re changing the way we make the potato in our meal. Our industry is doing that to help us design our marketing techniques to better suit the needs of the public.”

row. But weight is an issue for all these devices. Our brush system weighs one pound per foot of boom.”

Kamin said he used a polyethylene brush because it’s soft. It won’t transfer shock energy back into the boom if it hits the ground, a rock or the crop. As well, a pliable synthetic brush will take a lot more abuse than a solid air deflector.

“The benefits go beyond spray efficacy. It’s better for the environment and everybody concerned when our spray hits the target. And it’s good from an economic point of view because you’ll use less chemical to kill more pests.”

Pattern Master recently won an AE50 award from the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, which called it one of the year’s most innovative designs for the agricultural industry.

The Pattern Master system uses one brush mounted in front of each nozzle. A 120 foot boom with nozzles on 20-inch spacings can be equipped with a complete set of brushes and mounting hardware for around US $4,000.

For more information, contact Kamin at 715-498-0005 or visit www.k-bagritechllc.com.

Regular sprayer has interrupted pattern creating drift, mist and overspray that changes droplet size, resulting in loss of efficiency.

Kamin tried documenting air movement with a video camera using a mixture of water and milk in the tank, but the images on his YouTube video still do not fully depict how mist is peeled off the main pattern with an unprotected boom.

However, the water sensitive paper tests do a better job of conveying the information.

He said producers with Pattern Master equipped booms complain about the same problem. They can’t see the pattern anymore so they can’t see whether they’re spraying. Karmin tells them it’s simply because they’ve eliminated the mist.

“We’ve got studies going on right now … at University of Nebraska. We’re trying to get the DRT (drift reduction technology) star rating from EPA (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

That takes a lot of testing.

“EPA is pretty strict about what they want for test results because we’ve basically changed the physics of what happens when you’re spraying.

HOW THE PATTERN MASTER SPRAY ATTACHMENT WORKS

Pattern Master

The Pattern Master concept is simple yet effective. It’s a brush that hangs on the front side of the nozzle to cut wind shear. In doing so, it increases Dropletscan software readings by as much as 92 percent compared to nozzles without the brush. | PATTERN MASTER PHOTO

No attachment

A Wisconsin inventor hopes farmers will be interested in spending $4,000 to equip their spray booms with a new device he says can increase target coverage by 92 percent.

Kurt Kamin has merged his experience as a sprayer operator with his pilot experience to develop a brush that hangs in front of each nozzle to disrupt the wind shear that destroys the spray pattern.

Kamin has used water sensitive paper and Dropletscan software at the University of Nebraska to document coverage increases as high as 92 percent compared to the same nozzles that did not have the benefit of his Pattern Master brushes.

However, a scientist who studied Pattern Master said the results are promising, but inconclusive (see Page 101).

Kamin’s test was conducted using 80-06 Flat Fan Tip nozzles on 20 inch spacings at a rate of 20 gallons per acre, with the sprayer running at 12.5 m.p.h. and the boom 30 inches from the ground.

The software measured 25 percent coverage without Pattern Master and 48 percent coverage with the Pattern Master brushes in place, which is a 92 percent increase.

However, an identical trial conducted the same day but with a rate of 15 gallons per acre found 17 percent coverage with the non-protected nozzles and 27 percent coverage with the brushes installed, for a 58 percent increase.

Kamin observed that every spray boom creates a wind shear factor as the equipment travels through the field. Air hits the boom front and creates a high pressure zone. It accelerates as it goes around the boom because it’s moving into the low pressure zone behind the boom.

“You might be spraying at 12 m.p.h. ground speed on a perfectly calm day, but air moving into that low pressure zone might be 15 m.p.h.,” Kamin said.

Wind shear sends droplets flying in every direction, especially the fine misty droplets, because the tips and spray pattern are located in this low pressure zone. Kamin decided he could increase droplet coverage by reducing wind shear.

“Pattern Master eliminates spray drift because that high air pressure force is not hitting the spray pattern,” he said. “That fine mist which normally gets peeled off into the drift arena now stays in the pattern and goes down to the plants. Every paper test we’ve done shows that we get more water down onto the paper instantly compared to not using the brush.”

SPRAYERS

Spray scientist says think outside the tip

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Application specialist Tom Wolf says we’ve hit the limit with nozzles when it comes to reducing spray drift.

It’s now time to think about wind shear.

“Wind shear has two powerful impacts: it makes the spray finer and it sucks the little droplets out of the spray cloud,” says the Saskatoon spraying systems researcher.

“Those little guys normally hitch a free ride down to the canopy in the wake of the big droplets. Headwind or wind shear sucks them out of the wake so they drift. Pattern Master addresses those factors. I’m encouraged by the idea.”

Wolf has used a Pattern Master but hasn’t conducted research. He said the brushes create a semi porous air barrier so that a little bit of wind makes it through the bristles. This allows the bristles to feather out and moderate airflow.

“In aerodynamics, you always have to be concerned with edge effect. You don’t want to instantly go from a full air block to no block at all. The brushes achieve that,” he said.

“The beauty of the brush is that you could customize the density and number of strands for more porosity or less porosity to change the aerodynamic characteristics to meet your needs.”

University of Nebraska researcher Greg Kruger, who is the only scientist to document Pattern Master performance, said altering the air curtain around any spray pattern changes the way it deposits product on the target. However, he’s not convinced Pattern Master affects droplet size.

“In terms of protecting droplet size from wind shear, I don’t think it happens,” he said.

“Our research shows we don’t see a change in droplet size from wind shear until we get over 55 to 65 m.p.h.

It affects the movement of droplets, not the size.”

His research delved into the offtarget movement, which is the spray particles that moved out of the spray swath.

“It’s unclear whether the brushes actually catch these small droplets or just give them more opportunity to get to the target. Based on the water sensitive cards he (inventor Kurt Kamin) sent and the videos, there’s something here that shows promise,” he said.

“But I’ll tell you that what we’ve seen isn’t nearly as promising as the things you’ve seen. At this point, we have more questions than answers.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

Farmers who like the way a disco strobe does that freeze-frame trick on their dance partner will love the way it stops action on their spray pattern.

Moving those strobe lights from the disco to the spray boom might give them an entirely new perspective on what they’re doing in the field at night.

Many farmers are reluctant to spray at night because they feel they can’t adequately monitor what’s happening or see if they have plugged tips. Autosteer has removed the challenge of knowing a sprayer’s location in the dark, but it doesn’t tell farmers if they’re experiencing nozzle problems.

ATI Agtronics’ high intensity LED lights with strobe capability can solve that problem, says company representative Bryan Anderson.

The South Dakota farmer said the AppliMax Spray Nozzle Light system has been on the U.S. market for two years.

“I don’t think I want to encourage people to be out there spraying all night long, but we know the benefits of night time spraying. The most obvious factor is that the wind generally drops so you should have less spray drift,” Anderson said.

“With cooler night time temperatures, the product evaporates slowly so you get better absorption by the plants. Some insects come out at night, so they’re exposed to more chemical for a better kill. And of course, you open up your spraying window a lot so you get more acres done per day. If time or weather is an issue, spraying at night is sometimes your only option.”

Anderson worked 19 years as a sprayer service technician before recently taking over the family farm. He said he has dealt with just about every sprayer problem imaginable, and one of the big re-occurring issues is finding plugged nozzles in low light situations.

“In fact, it can even be difficult in full sunlight, so our LED has a strobe mode that freezes the spray pattern of each tip for easy diagnosis. It shows us pattern distortions due to blockage or nozzle wear in broad daylight,” he said.

“On my farm, I spray a lot of times when the wind goes down, usually from sunset to dark, just at that twilight time. The LED shows me my spray pattern clearly. I can see the spray all the way down the boom.

“One thing I’ve found is that it gives you really good depth perception.

You can see how far from the ground you are with the boom or how close to obstacles. You really see drift, in which case you don’t spray.”

The AppliMax kit is designed for one light unit per nozzle, which Anderson said is easy to install on any boom. The same AppliMax light is used for all brands of booms.

Cost ranges from US$1,700 to $2,200, depending on nozzle spacing and boom size.

“Your ROI (return on investment) is very quick. You can recover that in one evening of spraying, in some cases, if you have plugged tips,” he said.

“The ability to eliminate crop damage due to spray drift is a huge

Consider the legal liability if the crop damage is on a neighbour’s field.”

Anderson said it’s important to calibrate sprayers and deal with nozzle problems and other maintenance issues well ahead of spraying season. The best time is at the end of a spray season when farmers are putting equipment away and it’s still warm outside, he added.

“That’s when you should be doing it. If you have a big heated shop, of course, you can do it during the winter months. If not, take all the nozzles off and check them during the winter in your kitchen. We sell a test stand for that. Either way, it’s one chore out of the way and off your mind before spring.

“When you see a damaged tip on your boom, generally it’s overapplying chemical and possibly causing crop damage. That’s why we test each spray tip and measure to see if it’s in spec or not. Throw away bad tips. You don’t want them hanging around.

“However, at $12 or $13 per tip, you don’t want to throw away tips if you merely suspect they’re bad.

Only throw them out if you know for sure. That’s why we have auto calibrators. The ATI Smart Series spray nozzle calibrator list at $829 US. It can save you a lot of money.”

Anderson said the precision pressure sensor is easy to use, plugging into the calibrator between the nozzle body and the spray nozzle. Nozzle output and pressure are measured simultaneously to determine nozzle

wear. It gives a precise readout that can be saved in the Smart computer and transferred to the AppliPad. He said it takes time to do all the nozzles, but if a farmer is interested in precision farming, then precision sprayer calibration is one of the first items to address.

“I can tell you from years of experience that understanding your sprayer and how it affects your agronomy is very important to your bottom line.”

Anderson said ATI is developing LED strobe lighting for planters, air drills, strip till machines and other implements that need better light in the precise spot where the actual work occurs.

AGRONOMY

The great detective and precision agriculture PRECISION HAPPENS

TERRY A. BRASE

I

t’s not enough to just analyze the data that is collected by modern agricultural technology.

Eventually, producers need to make a decision, whether it is doing the same thing they have done for the last 20 years or doing something different.

Computers and software do many things well, such as processing numbers for analysis, but they won’t make a decision, especially about farming.

It will be up to the grower and/or agronomist to do that.

How do we connect the analysis on the computer with the decision that a grower has to make? It’s a step that I call “interpretation.”

Interpretation tries to make sense of the analysis and explain it because the analysis may not be perfectly clear.

Several years ago I received Volume I of Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Novels and Stories as a gift. It contains almost 40 of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s short stories about Sherlock Holmes.

As I’ve read it, the similarities between these stories and the vast array of detective and forensic TV programs was amazing.

The key point in these stories and TV shows is one that I have tried to make with students: don’t make a decision until you have analyzed and interpreted all of the available information, and then let the facts drive the decision.

In Doyle’s works and most forensic TV shows, the main character (Sherlock) collects information and asks all sorts of seemingly non-related questions. Usually there is a supporting character (Watson) that offers suggested solutions that are mostly incorrect. All of the characters have the same information and data, but it is Sherlock who comes up with the correct interpretation.

A common thread is that the supporting characters make up their mind first about the suspect and then

We need more Sherlock Holmes in precision agriculture, or at least people who know how to let the facts speak for themselves.

Precision happens when interpretation happens.

try to find the data or interpret the analysis to match that decision.

Sherlock keeps an open mind and lets the data analysis tell him who done it.

It isn’t that Sherlock is smarter than everybody else. In fact, he considers most of what he does as relatively simple in an arrogant sort of way, thus the often quoted though inaccurate “elementary, my dear Watson” (not once have I read that quote in any Sherlock Holmes novels or stories).

Sherlock is able see details more clearly and make correct inferences from them and thus interprets the data differently.

Too many growers have already made the decision made when they start looking at the data and analysis.

When they look at the data, they are looking at justification for their decision, which of course they find.

So how can interpretation help?

An interpretative map takes the analysis techniques discussed in my last column and objectively creates a map that lays out that decision in clear terms. It still does not make the decision, but it will use the data to create a “no-brainer.”

Suitability maps are a great example of this. They answer the question, “where is the most suitable area to

TIRES

The right tire for the right soil and load Scandinavian software calculates subsoil impact of individual tires

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

We know different combinations of tires and inflation cause different degrees of soil compaction, but until now there was no way to put a number on it.

The Scandinavian soil science project called Poseidon has given The Western Producer its readers access to an interactive calculator called Terranimo, which lets producers figure out that elusive soil compaction number for a specific combination of soil, implement, tires and inflation.

Although the soil selection under the heading of Global doesn’t include

Canadian prairie soil types by name, the list of characteristics can be used to closely resemble them.

The variables that can be manipulated in the calculator include percentage of clay, percent of silt, percent of sand, moisture, the percent of organic matter and bulk density, all specified at 15 depth levels.

Farmers can find specific sets of tires in the Terranimo catalogue of about 1,000 tire sizes and brands and then plug in different inflation pressures that they might try on their farms.

Unfortunately, the list of only 16 implements certainly falls short of what is present on Canadian prairie

farms. Terranimo designers says they are continually adding new factors in all categories.

Once the information is entered, Terranimo creates a multiple layer image of the impact each tire has on the soil.

It has been suggested that the ready-built Terranimo format provides an opportunity for Canadian soil scientists and agricultural engineers to partner with their Scandinavian counterparts to bring the calculator into a Canadian prairie context.

put (or do)?”

This could be used to determine the most suitable placement of a new wetland to mitigate crop inputs from leaching or running into open water sources. Factors that define a wetland determine the maps that are needed to make a wetland suitability map.

For example, let’s say soil permeability is one of the factors that go into deciding where to locate a wetland.

Consequently, a soil type map with permeability would be important.

Slope would be another factor, and a map for that would also be needed.

Once all the factors of a wetland have been defined and a map has

been created for each factor, then producers can analyze them and add them together.

The result is an interpretative map showing specific areas where a grower could put a wetland. It turns a subjective guesstimate into an objective data driven decision, clearly showing the best or most suitable area.

An instability map is another example. It would be important to know which areas of a field are consistently high yielding compared to those areas that are inconsistent, or unstable, when making decisions on seed and fertilizer rates.

This again makes use of map-matics, which means we are using mathematical operations to analyze maps.

Four or more years of yield data are normalized, added together and then divided by the number of years to get an average. This provides information about areas that are historically high or low, but says nothing about the stability.

One way of calculating the stability would be to subtract each year’s yield from the average yield and adding together the absolute value. This shows areas that vary greatly in yield from year to year.

Adding the average yield map to the stability map shows areas that are consistently high.

Some growers and consultants have told me that they use this type of map to create seed rate prescriptions. They increase the seed rate in areas that have a consistently high average yield and lower the seed rate in areas that have been unstable and produce consistently low yield.

Most importantly, this provides an objective use of the data. The grower receives an explanation or interpretation of 10 years of yield data that helps to clarify a decision on seeding rates.

As Grissom, a Sherlock-like character in the TV show CSI, once said: “Let the facts tell you what to think.”

We need more Sherlock Holmes in precision agriculture, or at least people who know how to let the facts speak for themselves. Precision happens when interpretation happens.

When does big become too big?

Dakota. People just don’t recognize it. They don’t get out there and soil sample, and then they pay a very dear penalty when that nematode decides that it is going to really yank the yield out of that field.”

Nelson said the key to managing the pest is to use resistant soybean cultivars.

Once established, the nematode can survive on other host plants, including edible beans. It can also survive for a long time in the soil, regardless of what crops are grown.

“That’s the whole idea of the cyst, is that it’s a resting structure that is designed to withstand the stress of being in the soil for a number of years without a host,” Tenuta said.

Nevertheless, rotations are critically important and can go a long way toward ensuring that the pest does not get established.

“Rotation is always part of the picture,” Tenuta said.

“If you’re doing monoculture soybean, you’re just allowing pressure for a disease to build up over time … so if you can provide disease breaks, then you can slow down the ramping of the pathogen or the pest.”

Tenuta said Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers has been proactive in monitoring for the pest and increasing awareness among producers.

Growers who think they have the pest in their fields can contact the association to receive additional information about testing and management.

Boom builders and boom buyers agree that bigger is better, especially in Texas where everything is supersized.

However, Texan Ron Boyd argues that there may be times when one size smaller is better than one size larger.

Three months ago, the boom manufacturer and retailer introduced a return on investment calculator that accounts for 20 variables a farmer can factor in when considering what boom size to buy.

BoydAg is in the business of selling bigger spray booms to meet farmers’ demands and satisfy the general trend, but Boyd concedes that his new calculator sometimes bucks that trend and advises customers to consider a smaller boom.

“Generally speaking, whenever you go to a bigger boom you’re more efficient, but that’s not always true,” Boyd said.

“There are times when that theory doesn’t work out. Not everybody farms in a location where they can run a bigger boom. I have customers in Iowa and up in Ontario and a lot of other places like that where 90 feet is all you can run.

“If you’re in one of those locations and you’ve got a 40 foot planter and a 90 foot boom, then our ROI calculator will tell you that you’ve got to down size to an 80 foot boom. You see, bigger isn’t always better.”

Boyd said the calculator is just a tool to help customers identify the right boom for them.

“We started sending the information entry forms out to farmers two or three months ago, and we’ve already returned several hundred completed recommendations,” he said.

“We’ve crunched numbers for canola, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, peas. Really, we can do any crop.”

He called some of his regular customers when building the modelling software to get their best estimates on how much damage occurred when sprayer tracks ran outside the planter tracks.

For example, he found that a late spray application in corn typically caused about a seven percent yield loss.

He continues collecting such information for the calculator and regularly updates with all current data for daily variables such as commodity prices and diesel costs.

All numbers err more on the conservative side, he added.

Boyd said the calculator’s recommendations make sense from a field perspective as well as from an investment approach.

If a customer has a 50 foot planter and wants to increase his 100 foot boom, the calculator will recommend two alternatives: stay at 100 feet to cover two planter widths or go all the way up to the T-series 150 foot boom to cover three planter widths.

The 120 and 132 foot booms may cost less but also forces operators to run the sprayer tracks outside the planter tracks, which reduces revenue.

Soybean cyst nematode inevitable?

A soybean soil pest is steadily munching its way north

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie soybean producers have dodged the devastation that the soybean cyst nematode can cause.

However, the soybean pest is already on Canada’s doorstep and it’s only a matter of time before it arrives “It’s on the doorstep … and it’s been munching steadily up the Red River Valley (from North Dakota) for the past 10 or 15 years,” said Mario Tenuta, a soil scientist at the University of Manitoba.

“What we want to do in Manitoba with our soy growers is to be a bit more proactive. We know it’s going to come here, so what we’re saying is let’s start surveying. Let’s start looking for it … because we want to know when it’s here, we want to know where it is and that way our growers can start adapting an managing for its presence.”

The soybean cyst nematode is a common pest in the United States.

Growers and researchers in Manitoba have been monitoring for it for several years.

Soil samples are the best way to confirm the pest’s presence.

They were initially conducted primarily in Manitoba’s Red River Valley, but the sample area has been widened recently to include fields in other productions areas such as Winkler, Carberry and Portage la Prairie.

“So far, we’re coming up with a blank, so that’s a good thing,” Tenuta said.

“But eventually it will come across the border, that’s for sure.”

The soybean cyst nematode is generally a more prominent concern in areas that have a long history of soybean production.

The expansion of soybean acres in Manitoba, is a recent phenomenon, but the nematode has been expanding its range in the U.S. for years.

Berlin Nelson, a plant pathologist from North Dakota State University, said the nematode is now the most prominent soybean pest in North Dakota.

“If you’re not familiar with this pest, you should be because if you grow soybeans, eventually it’s going to get up here,” Nelson told a recent Soils & Crops agronomy workshop hosted by the University of Saskatchewan.

He said the nematode’s prevalence increased in step with North Dakota’s expanded soybean acreage from 200,000 acres in the early 1980s to nearly six million by last year.

Nematode infestations became common in all parts of the state during that time.

Cold Canadian climates are not likely to deter the pest’s northerly migration, Nelson added.

“It does just fine in the northern climate,” he said.

“Many of our growers thought it wouldn’t do very well when it got up into North Dakota — into colder temperatures and colder soils — but just the opposite. It just loves it up there and it has adapted very well.”

The nematode is difficult to detect

until its impact on production is obvious and damage is irreversible.

The pest is a microscopic worm that attacks the root system of host soybean plants.

Female nematodes feed in the root’s vascular tissue, then exit the root and produce a large number of eggs that are eventually fertilized by the male worm.

Mature females are visible to the naked eye, but yields are likely already being affected by that time.

The entire life cycle of the nematode can occur in fewer than four weeks, meaning several generations of eggs can be produced in a single growing season.

The number of eggs contained in a sample of soil in experimental plots in North Dakota increased tenfold during one growing season.

Soil samples taken in spring showed an egg count of 283 eggs per 100 cubic centimetres, while samples taken from the same plot in October or November showed egg levels exceeding 28,000.

“This is the reproductive potential of this nematode under ideal conditions,” Nelson said.

The symptoms of an infestation can be difficult to diagnose. They can range from stunting and yellowing to complete lack of living plants in severely infected fields under ideal conditions.

“In many areas where we’ve had soybean cyst nematode … people do not recognize that they have it unless they get a soil sample,” Nelson said.

“That’s what we found in North

TRANSPORTATION

Proper animal transport guidelines good investment for livestock producers Good drivers make a difference in the welfare and handling of cull cattle being transported to processing facilities

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — Dairy producers who ship cull cows to market should always hire companies whose drivers are trained in livestock handling.

These animals need special care because they are often old, weak and thin and may not have the stamina for a long journey, said Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein of Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lethbridge.

“We know that transport itself in every situation is a potential for injury, but there is mortality as a consequence of transport,” she told the recent Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer.

Animal transportation is a visible part of the business, and the public often complains about what they witness at auction markets or border crossings, where livestock may have to wait hours for clearance.

“There are many chances for video to be taken of inappropriate animal handling and animal care during those times,” she said.

Driver training programs are offered through the Canadian livestock transporter program, and more companies are making it a requirement for their employees. Alberta Farm Animal Care reports more than

1,600 active certifications since the program was initiated in 2011.

Good drivers make a difference.

Schwartzkopf-Genswein’s research has found drivers with more than 10 years of experience have fewer problems because they are used to working with animals and know how to properly stop, start and turn corners and judge road conditions.

2012 critical of livestock transportation in Canada. Some of the reports may seem sensationalized, but others point out deficiencies.

“Some of the things they are seeing and reporting are actually happening,” she said.

Because of their economic value, (cull cows) almost get treated with less regard than the animals that are worth more, when in fact it should be the opposite.

KAREN SCHWARTZKOPF-GENSWEIN LETHBRIDGE RESEARCH STATION, AGRICULTURE CANADA

Canada’s 37-year-old transport regulations are being updated, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has promised they will be released soon.

The regulations should reflect new research on transportation and align with trading partners and the World Organization for Animal Health requirements.

Canada does not look good compared to some trading partners.

The World Society for the Protection of Animals published a paper in

good shape, but there are cases where culls may suffer.

Cull cows are often thin with marginal energy reserves and are usually older with health problems. They may be weak and lame, have cancer eye or udder problems. They may struggle to get up.

“Because of their economic value, they almost get treated with less regard than the animals that are worth more, when in fact it should be the opposite,” she said.

Part of the problem is fewer pro-

cessing plants, which forces these cattle to often travel longer distances.

There are concerns with ventilation in trailers during hot and cold weather. Animals may travel in temperatures as cold as - 30 C and as hot as 30 C. Transport is more than being driven in the truck. It also includes loading, assembling, unloading, in transit and being stationary.

Loading density and animal condition can also affect animals’ welfare.

A minimum of five hours rest after 48 hours of transport is required unless trucks can reach the final destination in 52 hours.

“The U.S. has a 28 hour law, but I am not sure if it is policed or regulated in any way,” she said.

Animals have to go into bedded pens at the rest stop with access to feed and water. They should be there a minimum of five hours and can stay for up to 24 hours.

“There is some controversy about offloading and the condition of those animals: is it a benefit to off load because unloading and loading are quite stressful events,” she said.

“We don’t know how much benefit rest stops might have, depending on the type of animal.”

Current transport regulations require bedding.

“Most truck drivers don’t know this rule on journeys longer than 12 hours,” she said.

Drivers in a large survey reported that animals were kept waiting for as long as 15 hours on a trailer at a border crossing. The longest wait to be offloaded at a packing plant was 12 hours.

“This is time added on to their original journey,” SchwartzkopfGenswein said.

The average travel time for animals in the study was 16 hours from start to unloading. About one percent of the animals in the study were culls.

Schwartzkopf-Genswein, who has professional animal auditor certification, reminds producers they are responsible for deciding if animals are fit for loading and transport.

“At the packing plants I see compromised animals and I wonder how did they get there,” she said.

Care of these animals starts with management at the plants. Employees must know the rules and should be trained to deal properly with these cattle.

Producers and processors should also be aware of the CFIA policy on compromised animals that is available on its website. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PARASITE CONTROL

PARASITE CONTROL

Few products approved for sheep

Worms weaken milk output

‘Weird and wonderful therapies’ are available, but none are proven effective, say experts

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Parasites are like the plague for sheep producers.

“Parasites are the No. 1 problem for sheep producers globally,” said John Gilleard, a parasitologist at the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine.

“That and foot rot are the two diseases they are worried about most.”

No recent surveillance has been conducted in Western Canada, so he and researcher Michael Levy took a look on farms across the province. They found high levels of parasites and increasing resistance to common treatments such as ivermectin and fenbendazole, an active ingredient in Safe-Guard.

Another project has been approved to continue the work, which focuses on identifying the most troublesome parasites and gathering evidence of resistance to parasiticides.

Haemonchus contortus is one of the most serious parasites attacking sheep.

It was originally a tropical parasite and spread with livestock movement across the world in the last 200 years.

It has adapted and thrived in cold climates and is passed onto pasture via feces. It feeds on blood and can cause diarrhea and anemia, which may kill lambs.

“It is the growing lambs where it has a major impact. Typically around weaning is when you see the biggest problems,” Gilleard said.

“Sheep coming off pasture at the end of the grazing season are going to have parasite burdens, and they are going to have a negative impact on growth rates, and there is a risk of clinical disease with the parasites.”

The parasite can be difficult to treat because not many products are approved for sheep. Ivermectin works and has been used extensively. Fenbenzole is not approved, but it has been used

Researchers have found that parasites in western Canadian sheep are showing more resistance to control measures. | FILE PHOTO with a veterinary prescription.

Australia, Europe and the southern United States have heavily used these drugs where resistance problems become significant.

“Producers are really struggling in terms of control,” he said.

“Treating them with drugs will only be effective if the drugs are actually going to do their job.”

Canadian producers need to work with their veterinarians to get a management structure in place and practice pasture management. No alternative treatments are available.

“There is a huge variety of weird and wonderful therapies, and none of them really have much objective or empirical evidence to show they are any good,” Gilleard said.

He suggested a strategy that treats only the most infected animals in the flock. Most of the parasites are probably spread by a small number of ewes.

Fecal samples should be collected to see which parasites are present.

Ewes can be condition scored, and those with low scores should be treated. Underweight lambs should be treated.

Continuous grazing, in which sheep return year after year to the same pasture, sets up the animals for constant parasite problems.

Eggs develop to larvae in four to 10 days and feed on bacteria in the dung

Ideally, sheep that graze a pasture one year should not be back the following year. “(Parasites) won’t survive on that pasture for more than a year. It should be clean two years later,” he said.

Most livestock can pick up parasites from pastures, but horses, cattle and sheep are infected by different kinds of worms. As a result, sheep could go on a pasture on which cattle had grazed the previous year.

“By and large, they don’t share the same species with relative exceptions,” he said.

“The more important species are not shared, so alternating sheep and cattle is a good method of control.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

RED DEER — Parasites picked up in pastures can reduce a dairy cow’s milk production and inhibit its ability to fight off disease.

“One of the things we have seen in the last 10 years is that we have really learned how these parasites affect the immune system,” said Donald Bliss, a veterinary parasitologist from Wisconsin.

His company, Mid America Agricultural Research, has researched parasite control in all livestock species.

Internal parasites depress the immune system and reduce milk production and feed intake, which results in poor growth in calves.

Control strategies differ from farm to farm, he told the Western Dairy Seminar in Red Deer March 12.

Grazing animals are exposed to parasites, while cows living in confined barns on concrete floors have less risk.

Not all animals need deworming, but Bliss recommends keeping animals parasite free for the first 100 days of lactation.

“For $2 or $3 worth of dewormer to get those animals in good shape, (it) doesn’t make much sense to leave those parasites in there,” he said.

The immune system is compromised when worms such as ostertagia enter the digestive system.

The ostertagia completes its life cycle by entering a gastric gland located in the gut. The larvae grow, expand and eventually destroy the gland. This shuts down stomach acid production, and the cow cannot digest fibre properly.

Cows that are trying to fight off the parasites cannot produce enough antibodies and become susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

Bliss suggests deworming in the fall, but cows that are turned out on fresh pasture first thing in the spring will be exposed again.

If the cattle are held back until July, most of the parasites should have died off and the animals can safely graze.

Pastures should also be rotated frequently.

Fecal samples should be collected to identify what is in the manure.

Random samples can be collected in a plastic bag and sent for analysis to identify the parasites and estimate how many are present.

The correct treatment can be used once the parasite eggs have been identified.

Some parasticides are fatal to dung beetles, which remove manure and work as a natural predator for fly and parasite larvae.

“If you kill those dung beetles off, you actually increase your parasite challenge,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Meat centre educates global buyers, aims to build Canadian quality brand The facility holds meat-cutting demonstrations and cooking classes

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Marty Carpenter exudes delight as he walks through the kitchen at the Canada Beef Centre of Excellence.

“Why would a chef want to leave a kitchen like this,” said Carpenter, who is head chef for Canada Beef Inc. Working with master butcher Abe van Meile, they will be welcoming the world to the centre to demonstrate how Canadian beef can fit any taste.

The centre is designed to host clients, who could include meat buyers from Canada’s major meat packing outlets or chefs from China and Mexico.

The concept includes a board room that doubles as a fine dining area as well as a fully equipped commercial kitchen, beef fabrication area and cold rooms.

Funds from the Western Economic Diversification Fund and Agriculture Canada were used to build a centre that is similar in concept to the Canadian International Grains Institute.

Located in northeast Calgary, the centre is equipped to show visitors various aspects of the beef chain.

They can visit a ranch and a feedlot and then come to the centre to work with Carpenter and van Meile on meat cutting techniques, cooking and merchandising.

“It was designed to show not only the technical aspects of beef but the social and emotional aspects of eating beef,” said Canada Beef communications manager Ron Glaser.

The beef fabrication room is used for yield testing, product quality assessment and specific muscle identification as well as product development.

The commercial kitchen includes ovens, grills, barbecue and stove tops and is set up like a theatre with tables where clients can watch cooking

demonstrations. There is also the ability to do high definition video presentations, which can be broadcast around the world.

“It is not always feasible to put people on a plane and bring them here,” Glaser said.

The entire area follows a hazard analysis critical control point plan.

The planners had considered becoming a Canadian Food Inspection Agency certified facility, but there are no specific requirements for this kind of unit.

“We emulate CFIA specs and standards here, but getting certified wasn’t a feasible thing,” Glaser said.

Before building the centre, planners visited other facilities used by companies such as Cargill and Certified Angus Beef in the United States.

It was decided a facility for a working group of 20 to 30 people was ideal for teaching and demonstrations, which could include cooking classes or a course over several days to teach sausage making.

All meat used in demonstrations is donated to the Calgary food bank.

The centre started work in January and officially opened in March. Delegations from China, Mexico and Kazakhstan as well as Canadian companies have already come.

Sometimes they work on specific beef cuts that Canadians do not typi-

cally consume but are in high demand elsewhere such as tripe, tongues, kidney and liver.

“We are working with different cuts that we don’t normally use domestically, things like beef cheeks and skirt meat,” Carpenter said.

Carpenter and van Meile want the environment to be as user friendly as possible while still showing how Canadian beef can fit their cuisine and explaining the regulatory process or food safety standards.

“We are able to show them the pasture to plate process. We can take them to a ranch or to a feeder. It is all 30 kilometres away,” said Carpenter.

As well, a film crew will record cooking demonstrations that can go on YouTube or be found on a newly developed free app, Roundup, that shows a wide range of cuts and how to cook them.

“We can show people how to cut meat and do all sorts of interesting things in the kitchen and we also want to connect the emotional component to who our industry is and how we want to build a brand they can take back home, whether they are in Japan or here in Canada,” Carpenter said.

“We have tried to anticipate every customer opportunity, every engagement. We have tried to anticipate as much as we possibly can.”

Partnerships with meat-cutting schools such as Olds College or the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, where van Meile taught for 27 years, could be formed.

Other commodities like potatoes, mu s h ro o m s, b a r l e y o r B r i t i s h Columbia wines could work with the Canada Beef staff to create special entrees.

OLDS, Alta. — Two bull calves standing in a pasture may look the same, but one could be more feed efficient than the other.

That trait is an economic benefit to the cattle industry because feed costs are the largest expense in raising beef.

Bulls that eat less but gain the same are considered more efficient and therefore more valuable because the odds of them passing on that trait to progeny is high.

“From the top bulls to the bottom bulls, the difference in feed costs would be $40,” said Stephen Scott, manager of the Canadian Hereford Association.

That is the premise of a Hereford association project, which for the last three years has tested 1,000 bulls at Olds College and Cattleland Feedyards at Strathmore, Alta., for residual feed intake and feed efficiency. DNA samples were collected and individual feed consumption was measured to come up with statistics for residual feed intake.

Residual feed intake is the difference between an animal’s actual feed consumed and its calculated feed requirements based on body weight and average daily gain during a standardized test period.

Efficient animals eat less than expected for maintenance and growth and have a negative or low residual feed intake, while inefficient animals eat more than expected and have a positive or high residual feed intake.

The trial finished at the end of March, but the association has already applied for more funding to continue.

Breeders have traditionally concentrated on selecting fast growing bulls that gained well, but the new data may change that emphasis into something more useful, Alberta Agriculture researcher Susan Markus said at a rancher’s day at Olds College last month.

“What we have been doing over the last 50 years in the beef industry is basically getting cattle that grew larger and grew faster and cost us more money because we were chasing mostly the trait of average daily gain,” she said.

“When you chase the trait of average daily gain, you are going to get larger animals. By putting feed efficiency in there to get that gain, we are able to scale back a bit on the size of the cattle.”

Finding more efficient animals does not mean turning back the clock to producing smaller cattle.

“I can tell you RFI is not about size.

We do not have to have smaller cattle to have more efficient cattle,” she said.

“RFI is measuring metabolic effi-

ciency. It is like a golf score: the more negative, the better the number.”

The residual feed intake number is an average of zero when reading a bull’s statistics. Those with a positive number are less feed efficient than those with a negative number.

This information should not be used for single trait selection because there are other traits with equal value, such as calving ease, fertility, longevity and age at puberty.

However, it appears good residual feed intake numbers do not negatively affect other valuable qualities.

“There is no correlation to show we are moving in the wrong direction,” she said.

The Hereford association plans to develop genomically enhanced expected progeny differences so breeders can select bulls with that trait as well as other economically valuable qualities, such as carcass quality, said Scott.

The association also wants to start collecting carcass data so information on the high yielding and top grading animals can be correlated with their sires.

“If we can have a central database that truly works and identifies the parentage of an animal and its carcass grade and yield grade, then we can use that data to give back to breeders so they can make better breeding decisions,” said Scott.

“That truly will resonate through the population if those selections are made. If we don’t get the data back, it is not possible to make those sorts of changes in the industry.”

There is also an ambitious plan to release information that can help select females that are highly productive and have greater longevity.

He said more DNA tests will be used to select females and decide which bulls to breed them to as they become cheaper. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

EARLY CALVING SEASON

Heifer calving date influences weaning weights, longevity ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

M

any producers will be in the middle or perhaps near the end of the 2015 calving season, hopefully with many healthy calves on the ground.

I have written in the past about the importance of front-loading the calving season.

Dr. Bob Larson from Kansas State University coined the phrase, and I’ve adopted it in many of my presentations.

Larson is referring to the goal of having 65 percent of a herd’s cows calve within the first 21 day period of the calving season.

The percentage is a direct reflection of successful breeding during the first 21 days of the previous breeding season. Cows and heifers that were cycling earlier were more likely to be bred early in the breeding season and are now calving early.

Body condition at calving and into the breeding season is one of the most important factors that determine how long it takes cows to begin cycling after breeding. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of body condition and its impact on the interval between calving and breeding.

Heifers naturally have a longer interval between calving and breeding after their first calf. On average, they will take 80 to 100 days to begin cycling, compared to 50 to 60 days for older cows.

Front loading the calving and breeding seasons for heifers is even more important.

The calves that are born earlier in the calving season are also at an advantage. They will be older and heavier at weaning and if they are heifers, they will be more likely to reach puberty at an earlier date and start cycling sooner.

Researchers are starting to discover that heifers that have their calves

Studies show heifers that calved in the first 21 day period have a longer life span in the herd compared to later calving groups. | early in the calving season may even be more valuable in the long term.

A recent paper in the Journal of Animal Science collected longevity data on more than 2,000 heifers from producers in South Dakota and more than 16,000 heifers at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Nebraska.

U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers followed these heifers over their subsequent life span until they left the herd. They divided them into three groups, depending on when they calved as a first calf heifer.

They then compared the subsequent productivity of the heifers that calved for the first time in the first 21 days of the calving period to heifers that calved in the second or third 21 day period.

Remarkably, the heifers that calved

for their first time in the first 21 day period had significantly longer life spans in the herd: 8.2 years compared to 7.6 and 7.2 years for the two subsequent calving groups.

Longevity of the females in the herd is an important factor that can affect a ranch’s profitability.

This study clearly showed that heifers that are bred earlier and calve earlier tend to stay in the herd longer, which demonstrates the importance of front-loading the calving season for heifers.

These heifers also weaned heavier calves. That isn’t surprising given that they calved earlier, but the researchers also showed that heifers that calved in the first 21 days tended to continue to stay in that first 21 day calving group in subsequent years.

As a result, they had significantly

heavier weaning weights in their offspring for all of their first six pregnancies. It is a huge advantage to be able to create a heavier calf every year for six years simply by ensuring that the heifer calved in the first 21 days of the calving period for its first calving.

The report authors suggest that herd managers might consider breeding extra heifers than they need for their herd replacements.

This would allow producers the opportunity to select the replacement heifers that they will eventually keep by having their veterinarian estimate the fetal age at pregnancy checking time.

The report also suggested the strategy of focusing on the youngest heifers before breeding because they are at the greatest risk of not cycling early and either being open

FILE PHOTO

or becoming pregnant later in the season.

These heifers might be targeted for estrus synchronization programs, which in turn might help induce ovulation and improve the chances that they would conceive earlier in the breeding season.

The authors also said selecting replacement heifers based on the date they become pregnant is better than selecting them solely based on age.

It would appear that Larson’s motto of front loading the breeding season is even more important when it is applied to the first-calf heifers.

John Campbell is head of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine.

CATTLE STUDY

Infection with less harmful parasite may protect against deadly one LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Herds of African cattle may hold the secret to new ways of fighting parasitic diseases such as malaria, which kills 600,000 people a year.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh found that cows are protected from a parasite that causes the deadly east coast fever if they have previously been infected with a closely related but milder species of the parasite.

They said the discovery suggests that “fighting fire with fire” is a strategy that might work against a range of parasitic diseases, including severe malarial infection in people.

“Our results suggest seeking a simple vaccine that could protect cows from east coast fever by inoculating them with a related but far less harmful parasite,” said Mark Woolhouse,

Researchers have found that cattle in Kenya are almost 90 percent less likely to develop east coast fever if they were also infected with certain other parasites. The discovery may open the door to new vaccine research for cattle and humans. | LUCA ESPOSTI/FLICKR.COM PHOTO who led the study with a team from several other universities and the

International Livestock Research Institute.

“A similar process might be at work in malaria, where infection with the less harmful Plasmodium vivax parasite may protect people from the Plasmodium falciparum parasite.”

Malaria is caused by a singlec e l l e d p a ra s i t e, P l a s m o d i u m, although more than one species of Plasmodium can cause the disease.

The deadliest species is Plasmodium falciparum, the most common in Africa and the cause of the vast majority of the world’s 600,000 malaria deaths a year.

Plasmodium vivax is more common in Asia and more widespread but causes a less serious illness.

Woolhouse’s team tracked the health of 500 Kenyan calves from birth to one year old and collected

data on the cattle’s survival, growth, health and infections with viruses, bacteria, worms and tick-borne parasites.

They found that deaths caused by east coast fever, the biggest killer of East African cattle, dropped 89 percent among calves that were also infected with other species of parasite that do not cause disease.

Something similar may occur when people are infected with the more deadly parasite P. falciparum at the same time as the less aggressive P. vivax, making them more likely to survive the disease.

“A better understanding of how this milder parasite may protect against the more lethal form of the disease could generate new approaches to reducing severe illness and deaths from malaria,” Woolhouse said.

Swedish machine that sifts out fusarium put to the test on Prairies

GRAIN TRADERS NAME

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s most beloved Swedish imports have traditionally been hockey players and automobiles, the likes of Mats Sundin, Daniel Alfredsson, Volvo and Saab.

However, if officials at the Canadian International Grains Institute in Winnipeg are correct, another Swedish import, the BoMill TriQ, could soon become a familiar name in Western Canada, at least in farm circles.

BoMill, based in Lund, Sweden, makes machines that use near infrared transmission technology to sort grain based on its chemical composition.

The first BoMill TriQ sorter was shipped to Saskatchewan not long ago.

It is located at the University of Saskatchewan’s Canadian Feed Research Centre in North Battleford, Sask., and is generating a lot of attention for its ability to separate fusarium damaged kernels from commercial quantities of durum, winter wheat and hard red spring wheat.

The BoMill TriQ can sort three tonnes of grain per hour. The installed cost of a unit is $550,000 to $600,000.

Earlier this month, the Canadian International Grains Institute announced it will buy a BoMill TriQ and a smaller version of the same machine.

The TriQ will be used for commercial demonstrations to determine if it is suitable for use at feed mills, seed cleaning plants and at the farm level.

Rex Newkirk, CIGI’s vice-president of research and innovation, thinks the machine has huge potential.

“The university has shown that we can take out fusarium,” Newkirk said.

“We’ve been able to do it a few tonnes at a time.… Now we want to see if it can be used on a commercial level.”

Newkirk said a preliminary economic analysis of the machine suggests it might be a worthwhile investment for individual farmers, particularly in years when fusarium damaged grain is abundant.

For example, the unit could pay for itself in a matter of months if the machine was used consistently to separate fusarium damaged kernels from durum.

Durum or winter wheat that was graded salvage in 2014 could be sorted and sold commercially, adding value of $200 to $250 per tonne to a product that was otherwise unmarketable.

“This year, we’ve got a whole bunch of fusarium infected winter wheat and durum,” Newkirk said. “The question is, how do we make sure that people

have the option to sell this stuff, rather than burning it all.”

Tom Scott, research chair in feed processing technology at the U of S, is equally optimistic.

He said BoMill technology has the potential to add tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars annually to the value of Western Canada’s bulk grain sales.

Nearly 20 percent of the crops grown in Western Canada — almost eight million tonnes — are downgraded to feed every year.

Additional tonnes are graded as salvage and deemed unfit for commercial sale, in years when fusarium infection rates are particularly bad.

“There are estimates that two million tonnes of wheat and durum were

g ra d e d a s s a l v a g e d u e t o h i g h fusarium damaged kernels and potential for mycotoxins (DON or vomotoxin) in the 2014 crop year,” Scott wrote in an email.

“Salvage grain is not legal for sale….

Based on this and a price of $300 (per tonne), that would be equal to $600 million in lost value.”

BoMIll’s TRriQ model has a limited track record in Saskatchewan, but Scott, who has worked with the machine in North Battleford for the past two years, is convinced it is time to assess commercial applicability.

Representatives from BoMill were in Saskatchewan recently to demonstrate the machine’s capabilities.

It is also possible that the machine

can be used to separate ergot-infected grain from a sample and perhaps even sprouted material.

“It’s typically very small amounts of seeds that actually cause downgrading,” said Scott.

“So if we can remove those, you can recover a lot of salvage grain.”

The technology can also sort grain based on its germination capabilities (vitreousness), and protein content.

CIGI will use funds from the federal and Manitoba governments to buy its machine.

The unit will likely move locations every few months to assess it applicability in various commercial environments, Newkirk said. brian.cross@producer.com

Louis Dreyfus raises stake PARIS, France (Reuters) — Margarita Louis-Dreyfus has tightened her control over Louis Dreyfus Commodities and said solid 2014 profit of US$648 million showed the trading group could take its time in its search for a new chief executive officer.

She brushed off concerns about a CEO vacuum that was prolonged when the appointment of Mayo Schmidt, the former head of Viterra, suddenly fell through in December.

She said her family trust, Akira, had raised its stake in Louis Dreyfus Holding to 80 percent from 65 percent.

TAX IMPLICATIONS

Getting the most from mineral rights at tax time TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

M

any farmers hold the mineral and resource rights to the land they own.

As a result, they may be able to lease the rights to develop these minerals and earn an income off of those rights.

What many farmers don’t realize is that not all payments received on these leases or the implications of holding these rights on death are treated the same for tax purposes. As a result, there could be additional opportunities to defer the tax associated with that income.

There are two ways income can be treated for tax purposes when dealing with revenues received from surface leases or other resource rights.

The annual lease or rental payments for the resource rights are treated as regular income and taxed the same as income from operations.

Income that is earned in a corporation will be taxed at a higher corporate rate, unless considered incidental to

the farm’s main source of revenue.

Payments for damages (assuming they’re not crop damages), land improvements, right of way and access are treated as capital payments.

Only half of the income from these payments is taxable, unlike regular lease or rental payments. In addition, an individual who owns the land could use the capital gains deduction to help offset the tax on these payments.

Knowing what the amounts are for and how they should be treated can significantly change the way the payments from mineral and resource rights are taxed.

Individuals who own mineral rights directly and plan to pass them to the next generation on death may be

surprised to learn that the mineral right value is fully taxable on death and isn’t treated as a capital gain, which is only half taxable.

Let’s look at the following example: John Smith dies while owning mineral rights and transfers the rights to his daughter in his will.

The value of the rights are determined to be three times their average annual income of $20,000 for a total value of $60,000.

Therefore, on John’s final tax return, he would pay tax of $24,000 related to these rights, assuming the top tax rate of 40 percent.

Transferring mineral rights into a corporation and reporting the revenues from them in the corporation

can alleviate some of this burden.

Let’s update our example: John Smith transfers his mineral rights into a corporation and leaves the shares of the corporation to his daughter when he dies. Assuming the rights are still valued at $60,000 and there are no other assets or liabilities in the corporation, John would pay tax of $12,000 in his final tax return, which is half of the amount in the previous example.

Individuals who are eligible for Old Age Security benefits and do not receive the full benefit because their income levels are too high can have the income from their mineral rights taxed in the corporation rather than personally by transferring the min-

Flaman Grain Cleaning, part of the Flaman Group of Companies in Saskatoon, will be the licensed dealer in Canada for BoMill’s patented sorters that use near infrared transmittance to sort individual grain kernels based on their chemical composition and protein content.

BoMill has two near infrared sorters: a TriQ model capable of sorting more than three tonnes of grain per hour and an IQ model, used for smaller samples, research applications and demonstrations.

“BoMill have a unique position on the market with their patented technology for grain quality sorting, and we are excited to bring this out to our customers,” said Warren Schmidt, manager at Flaman Grain.

“We believe that the TriQ is the solution for many of the fusarium problems that we have seen this past year.”

BoMill officials were in Saskatchewan last week to conduct demonstrations in North Battleford.

“With Flaman as our distributor in Canada, we will have a strong partner,” said Karin Wehlin, chief executive officer of BoMill AB. brian.cross@producer.com

eral rights into a corporation.

This will reduce taxable income personally as well as increase OAS benefits.

Effective dividend planning can reduce the taxes paid on resource and mineral income in a farm company.

This could result in a significant tax deferral, considering that the top personal tax rates for some western provinces can be more than 46 percent.

As always, every situation is different, so talk to an adviser to determine what options should be considered when dealing with mineral rights.
