FARM SECURITY ACT

Saskatchewan to re-examine farmland ownership rules Investment board’s land purchase raised questions

Canada slips in research

REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan government will take more time to review its farmland ownership law before considering possible changes. Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said April 13 that further consultation and review will occur over summer, during which time institutional investors such as pension plans won’t be allowed to buy land. The government has been looking at the Farm Security Act since the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s purchase of 115,000 acres from Assiniboia Farmland Limited Partnership led to concern. The justice ministry said the purchase was legal, but Stewart said the question might have been too narrow.

Report gives country a failing grade BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A report prepared for Canada’s cereal grains industry suggests the country’s competitive position in global wheat markets could suffer unless it takes steps to co-ordinate research efforts. The White Paper on Research Innovation in Cereals was commissioned by Cereals Canada and produced by Stephen Morgan Jones, formerly a regional director with Agriculture Canada’s science and technology branch. The 45-page report suggests that Canada may be “slipping behind other countries” in cereal innovation and that it should adopt “a world-class science and innovation model” for cereals to ensure that it remains competitive with other major wheat producing and exporting nations. It also highlights glaring concerns in Canada’s research environment, including critical human resource gaps at Agriculture Canada and other public research institutions, reductions in research spending at Agriculture Canada, duplication of research efforts across the country, an imbalance between short-term applied research and long-term strategic research projects and ineffective organization of federal research facilities. The document, acquired by The Western Producer through access to information provisions, contains 12 recommendations: CANADA SLIPS, PAGE 4

ALBERTA ELECTION

Rural health care cited as top election issue Farmers at premier’s campaign stop call for more local autonomy when deciding responsibilities of health facilities BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

STETTLER, Alta. — Like many rural Albertans, Terry Schetzsle of Viking considers health care the top issue as the province enters an election campaign. Health care is also the No. 1 issue for Mary Readman of Consort and it’s the No. 1 election issue for Dale Nixon of Stettler. Many hospitals in rural Alberta are struggling to keep doctors and to stay open. Rural residents say it doesn’t mean they have any less need for a hospital. Instead, they feel that their voices are lost in layers of bureaucracy as control over rural health care is centered in the cities. “The biggest issue is probably health care. It is a real monster bureaucracy that needs to be changed,” Schetzsle said during a barbecue for Progressive Conservative candidate Jack Hayden and leader Jim Prentice. “They have taken away all our local autonomy. That’s the biggest problem, and it has to come back.” Prentice set May 5 for Alberta’s election, saying the government needed a new mandate to guide the province through the tough economic times ahead in the aftermath of plummeting oil and gas prices, a mainstay of the Alberta economy. Alberta’s hospitals have been through many changes over the years. They operated by individual boards, but that switched to 17 health regions, then nine regions, then a super board and then a board with five zones. In March, Alberta health minister Stephen Mandel announced a move to Alberta Health Services with eight to 10 operating districts. For Schetzsle, the move to operating districts is a start back to local autonomy and allowing local managers to make decisions. “If our hospital auxiliary wanted to buy a piece of equipment, which they have all kinds of money to do, they’re

not allowed to just do that,” Schetzsle said. “They’ve got to go through a foot deep worth of paper and maybe wait six or eight months before some minion, which there are thousands in Alberta Health, authorizes this. Somebody in a suit has got to authorize this whenever he feels like it. It is

outrageous.” It’s a story Prentice heard across the province last summer during his campaign to lead the PC party. He said it’s why he has made an examination of rural health a top priority during this election. “I was quite moved by what I heard over the summer,” he said. “The gist of it was more local control.… There were incredible stories of the struggles people were having trying to keep rural health facilities working.” Readman doesn’t know if decentralization will lead to the reopening of emergency services and acute care beds in her region’s Consort Hospital. The community raised $300,000 to build a home for local doctors and

then recruited doctors, only to have them move away when Alberta Health Services didn’t reopen the hospital beds. Nixon said Stettler is lucky to have a good hospital with doctors and a partially open operating room. While it is not the responsibility of local residents to buy operating equipment, they’re doing so in Stettler. “It is good of us to do it. It should have been looked after by former governments,” said Nixon, who hosted the Prentice barbecue at his rural residence. On a different issue, Schetzsle joked that he maybe shouldn’t say it out loud, but he believes Alberta should join the rest of Canada and implement a sales tax to even out the

highs and lows that energy prices create in Alberta’s economy. The provincial budget released March 26 contains tax hikes, spending cuts, a record $5 billion deficit but no sales tax. “People would hardly notice after the first six months,” said the former auction market owner. “I think it would help.” Nixon doesn’t think there is anything wrong with a sales tax or a corporate tax hike if most of the money stayed in the province. “They should think about it. There is nothing wrong with it. It would bring them a lot of income,” said Nixon, the former owner of a power line construction and welding company with 65 employees. Prentice said when the budget was announced that any increase in corporate tax would drive jobs out of the province and not create more of them. “As long as I am premier, I will fight for every last job in the province,” Prentice said during the barbecue. “We’ll get through a little bit of bad weather.” Readman was also not opposed to a sales tax, especially if it would pry money out of people who aren’t paying their share of taxes. “We’re a rich, rich province. There is no reason … why we are struggling along like we are.” In a later interview, Prentice said agriculture is the foundation of the province but needs to do a better job of competing for international markets. “We need a lot more processing and agrifood development in the province. That is a step-by-step thing,” he said. “Everywhere you go in the Asia Pacific, they want what we produce. We just don’t do a good job of marketing it and exporting and shipping.” mary.macarthur@producer.com FOR MORE ON THE ALBERTA ELECTION, SEE PAGES 14, 15

APHANOMYCES

New seed treatment registered for devastating pulse disease BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The first seed treatment to combat aphanomyces is on the market. Intego Solo received full registration for use on lentils, chickpeas, beans and soybeans late last year. It is the only Group 22 seed treatment or fungicide registered for pulses in Canada. It is also registered for cereals and oilseeds. Nufarm Agriculture also received emergency registration from the Pest Management Regulatory Agency for use of Intego Solo to suppress aphanomyces in peas in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The registration expires March 19, 2016. Aphanomyces is a widespread and virulent root rot disease that has rapidly become a major headache for western Canadian pulse growers. The American Phytopathological

Society says aphanomyces is the most devastating pea disease in the world. “Pulse production in Western Canada is now under serious threat from aphanomyces,” Graham Collier, technical services manager for Nufarm, said in a news release. “Weather conditions across the Prairies over the past few years have significantly increased disease pressure, and growers have been left with no control options until this emergency use of new Intego Solo.” Research trials conducted by Agriculture Canada show the product delivers 40 to 70 percent suppression of the pathogen, with an average of 50 percent. “This is a beginning,” said Collier in an interview. “This is what we could have out so there is something for growers this year, and we’re going to continue to build on it.”

SABINE BANNIZA PLANT PATHOLOGIST

One four litre jug of Intego treats 709 bushels of seed at a suggested retail price of $4.23 per bushel. Saskatchewan Pulse Growers cautioned that Intego only suppresses aphanomyces; it doesn’t eliminate the disease. Growers are advised to continue using good management practices, including having a proper rotation, choosing a good field, using quality seed, avoiding compaction and managing fertility. Sabine Banniza, a plant pathologist at the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre who is

Western Canada’s expert on the disease, was blindsided by the news of the new seed treatment option. She had told growers a few weeks earlier during a webinar on aphanomyces that there would be no seed treatment options until at least 2016. “Obviously, it is really good that there is something coming,” said Banniza. However, she is not able to endorse the product because she has not seen data on it. She said she would be in no rush to treat her pulse seed with Intego if she was a grower because of the lack of independent trial data. “At least this year, I think, I would still rely primarily on extending the rotations rather than using this.” However, pulse prices are attractive, so growers with high risk tolerance might want to give it a try, she

added. Intego will be tested in field trials in Saskatchewan and Alberta this year as part of a study on root rot. Banniza hopes the trials will indicate how effective the seed treatment is, but that will depend on the weather. Not much difference between treated and untreated seed is likely if it is a dry spring. Collier said Intego should be used in conjunction with another seed treatment product because it contains only one active ingredient, ethaboxam, which does not control other pathogens such as fusarium, rhizoctonia and ascochyta. Intego does not contain a colourant, which is required for seed treatments. That is another reason it should be combined with another seed treatment. sean.pratt@producer.com

This causes extreme frustration for both scientific and management (staff) alike.” The report was presented to Cereals Canada last year and shared with members of Canada’s Grains Round Table, a national committee comprising producer groups, private sector companies, government agencies and Agriculture Canada representatives.

SASK. TO RE-EXAMINE OWNERSHIP » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “The answer is that CPPIB (Canada Pension Plan Investment Board) is eligible to purchase farmland in Saskatchewan, but the act as it’s currently written does not allow Canada Pension Plan, CPP, who are certainly the parent company of CPPIB, to enjoy the benefits of ownership such as capital appreciation,” Stewart said. “That’s the thorny question.” The investment board said in a news release that it was concerned about the temporary halt to purchases by institutional investors because it intended to buy more farmland. It said it would participate in the government’s review. Under the existing law, non-Canadian residents and corporations that are not Canadian controlled can own only 10 acres. Companies that might be partly foreign-owned but controlled by Saskatchewan residents

can own up to 320 acres. There are no restrictions on Canadian residents or Canadian companies. However, the investment board’s large-scale purchase raised eyebrows. Stewart said the consultations and review should clarify what Saskatchewan people want. “We need to know if people want the act liberalized so that institutional investors can accrue the benefits of ownership, like capital appreciation, or if they want the act clarified to prevent further purchases,” he said. “We have to get this worked out one way or the other because there’s a contradiction right now.” Stewart has met with farm organizations and stakeholders but wants more input from producers, agribusiness and interested Saskatchewan residents.

We have to get this worked out one way or the other because there’s a contradiction right now. LYLE STEWART SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE MINISTER

Details of how the consultation will proceed will be released later, he said, but will include online and mailed submissions. Public hearings are not planned. The act could eventually stay the same, Stewart said. If changes are to be made, a bill could be introduced in fall and passed next spring. A provincial election is looming, but Stewart said he didn’t think farmland ownership would become an issue. Feedback and comments to his office have shown that most in the farming community aren’t pleased with the pension plan investment

adopted as a priority by members of the Canadian Grains Round Table. To that end, Cereals Canada and the Canadian International Grains Institute issued a request for proposals last December seeking firms to conduct a comprehensive market scan of Canada’s international wheat customers. The findings of that initiative will be used to determine future research priorities for the Canadian wheat

board’s purchase. Others, such as the Chamber of Commerce, aren’t as worried. “We’re trying to be neutral on this,” Stewart said of the government’s position. Meanwhile, he said the Court of Queen’s Bench ruled March 26 in favour of the Farm Land Security Board’s decision against Skyline Agriculture Financial Corp. Skyline was interested in investing in farmland but also admitted to the board that some of its funding was not from Canadian sources. It approached the board ahead of time to seek a ruling, and the board said it could not use foreign funds to buy land. The matter then went to court. Stewart said he was pleased with the court’s decision, but noted the existing legislation might not give the board the tools to prevent this from happening in the future. “Skyline was very honourable in their approach,” he said. “They voluntarily went to the Farm Land Security Board for a ruling, but

Decisions on whether to pursue other recommendations in the report will be made after key foundational work has been completed in the areas of project cataloguing and databasing, research co-ordination, research priority setting and strategic planning. The report identified human resources as a significant issue, particularly at public research institutions that continue to face budgetary pressures. “Critical human resource gaps” exist in multiple areas of public research, it added, which highlights the need for an industr y-w ide human resource plan. “AAFC is still the single largest publ i c i n s t i t u t i o n i n a g r i c u l t u ra l research,” the report said. “However, there has been more focus on staff reductions due to budgetary pressures than replacing scientist positions.” It also said organizations such as the National Research Council and Agriculture Canada will not likely be able to meet their human resource requirements, adding that “other approaches will be necessary.” The report also paints an unflattering picture of Agriculture Canada’s research centres, suggesting scientists are often stifled by bureaucratic decision making processes that delay work, restrict essential spending and affect workplace morale. As well, the paper calls into question the organizational structure of the centres, suggesting that inefficient administration, the lack of strategic plans and poor co-ordination of resources are limiting productivity. Ottawa employs about 400 scientists at 19 agricultural research centres. The report said three to five large federal research facilities, each with 60 scientists, may be better suited to meeting the industry’s research objectives. It said the large centres could focus on strategic or discovery research, while the remaining centres could be designated as research hubs and staffed with fewer scientists who are focused primarily on applied research and field studies. brian.cross@producer.com

the Farm Land Security Board has no opportunity to see most of these deals before they actually transpire.” Besides the ban on purchases by pension plans, the board will also enforce the following regulations during the consultation period: • Further define pension plans, administrators of pension fund assets and trusts as not Canadianowned entities. • A family trust with fewer than 10 Canadian individuals listed as beneficiaries will still be able to purchase farmland. • Having an interest in farmland is defined to include any type of interest or agreement, direct or indirect, that results in any of the benefits, such as capital appreciation, either directly or indirectly, of owning of the land. • Farmland purchases must be financed through a financial institution registered to do business in Canada, or a Canadian resident. karen.briere@producer.com

MODERATE GROWTH

DISPUTE WITH CTA

CN appeals revenue cap fine over interswitching

Land price rise slows

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

which was also the case in other provinces. Farmland values in Manitoba increased by 12.2 percent despite excess moisture, average to below average crop yields and quality and a decline in crop prices. The increase was 25.6 percent in 2013. Gervais said Manitoba has benefited from being sandwiched between Saskatchewan and Ontario, two provinces that have experienced strong increases the past few years. Crop receipts tend to be more variable in Manitoba than neighbouring provinces, which prospective investors should keep an eye on. Alberta’s farmland values were up 8.8 percent, which is lower than the 12.9 percent increase in 2013. Strong beef prices have increased demand for pasture in central and northeastern Alberta. The rapid growth of values in the province’s Peace region stabilized because of dry conditions that reduced the 2014 harvest. Gervais said Alberta is the only province where slumping oil prices could have significantly affect future farmland values. “It is not impossible to see farmland value increases in Alberta be a lot lower than what we would expect otherwise,” he said. Gervais said there may be zero increase in Alberta’s farmland values this year if oil prices stay depressed, which is what economists are forecasting.

Canadian National Railway is disputing Ottawa’s claim that it exceeded the revenue cap for hauling western grain by nearly $5 million in 2013-14. The company confirmed April 9 that it plans to appeal a December decision by the Canadian Transportation Agency that suggested CN exceeded the caps by $4.98 million. Railways are normally required to reimburse all revenues that exceed the cap, also known as the maximum revenue entitlement. A successful appeal could significantly reduce the amount that CN is required to repay. CN spokesperson Mark Hallman said the company’s appeal stems from CTA’s treatment of revenues associated with interswitching. Hallman said in an email that the CTA treated revenues associated with switching activities under the revenue cap. The switching activities were principally for moving Canadian Pacific Railway originated grain to North Shore grain elevators at Port Metro Vancouver. “The CTA has ruled that CN must claim about $4 million in net switching revenues against the legislated revenue cap for regulated grain,” Hallman wrote. “The revenue entitlement for these switching movements is essentially zero. As a consequence of this ruling, CN suffered a net loss of roughly $4 million on these movements for the 2013-2014 crop year.” Hallman said CN’s appeal was given greater urgency when Ottawa decided to extend interswitching limits in Western Canada to 160 kilometres from 30. The situation also emphasizes the continuing need for investment in rail infrastructure on the Port of Vancouver’s north shore to expand Canada’s exports of grain and other products, he said. The CTA said in its ruling that CN’s revenue of $672,110,852 for the 2013-14 crop year was $4,981,915 above its revenue cap entitlement of $667,128,937. Hallman said CN has repaid the amount by which its western Canadian grain revenues exceeded the cap, along with a five per cent penalty of $249,096, pending the outcome of the appeal. Canadian Pacific Railway is also setting up for a legal challenge involving Transport Canada. CP is appealing a CTA ruling that claims the railway failed to meet minimum weekly grain movement targets put in place by the federal government. CP was fined $50,000 for missing mandated grain volumes during the second week of September 2014. The railway is disputing the fine on the basis that reduced deliveries were the result of broader supply chain issues, specifically a holiday shutdown at the Port of Vancouver the previous week.

Saskatchewan led the increase in farmland values with an 18.7 percent increase BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The rate of increase in farmland values declined last year, and that will likely be the trend, says Farm Credit Canada. The average nationwide increase was 14.3 percent, down from 22.1 percent in 2013 and 19.5 percent in 2012. “While the increases are still significant in many parts of the country, they do suggest we are moving toward more moderate increases for farmland values,” Corinna Mitchell-Beaudin, FCC’s executive vice-president, said in a news release. “This is good news for producers since gradual change in the value of this key asset is always better for those entering or leaving the industry.” J.P. Gervais, FCC’s chief agricultural economist, is forecasting even more moderate growth rates this year. Quality problems with last year’s crop could weigh dow n crop receipts this year, but the price outlook for new crop is positive with some futures prices already higher than average prices for 2014. The lower Canadian dollar will also have a positive influence on crop receipts, which is one of two major drivers for farmland values. The other is interest rates. “We expect interest rates to remain low for 2015,” Gervais said in a video accompanying the news release. “Considering where oil prices are and how important oil is to the health of the Canadian economy it is really hard right now to envision the scenario in which interest rates would climb.” He believes farmland values will go up four percent, or about twice the rate of inflation in 2015. Fo re c a s t i n g w h a t h a p p e n s beyond that is difficult. Gervais relies on the long-term agriculture projections produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Agriculture Canada. Both reports suggest grain and oilseed prices will be lower than they were last year but higher than the 1990-2005 period. Profit margins are expected to shrink because input prices likely will not follow crop prices down. He believes the two reports are generally supportive of farmland values, although there is a distinct

possibility they could decline in the high-price regions of North America. “This is a little bit of what we’re seeing in some regions of the United States,” said Gervais. “The Canadian market often lags the United States.” The upshot is that producers who are considering buying land need to look closely at their balance sheet and cash flows to see if they can withstand a variety of crop price and interest rate scenarios. Interest rates will rise at some point, maybe starting to climb in 2016. “Using caution is a really smart strategy in the current environment,” he said.

Saskatchewan led the country last year with an average increase of 18.7 percent. Farmland values have been rising by 19 to 29 percent each of the last four years, but they are not out of whack with crop receipts, which is a good sign. “I’m fairly confident that the farmland values we have in Saskatchewan rest on sound fundamentals,” Gervais said in an interview. Continued interest from out-ofprovince buyers looking for productive land will likely keep Saskatchewan’s increases well above the national average for years to come. However, there were scattered pockets in the province where land values appear to have stabilized,

Improving global winter wheat prospects and expectations for another strong export program out of the former Soviet Union will keep a lid on prices, says CWB. “It’s very hard to see an imminent, sustainable price rally,” said Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research. “We need to see significantly worse weather somewhere.” Townsend spent the weekend touring fields in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, where crops had been under distress before a welcome weekend rain shower. “A lot of the wheat crop was shorter than it should have been and even (had) some signs of stress,” he said. The crop was heading sooner than it should because of a lack of subsoil moisture. “This rain is probably adding back a little bit of yield potential,” said Townsend. CWB is forecasting 863 million bushels of hard red winter wheat production in the U.S. in 2015-16. A good crop would be in the 900 million to one billion bushel range,

but CWB’s estimate would be a vast improvement over this year’s 738 million bu. crop and the 747 million bu. produced in 2013-14. Perhaps a bigger factor than the size of the crop is how uncompetitive U.S. wheat has become in the export arena. “The price at which the Americans want to sell it and the farmer wants to get is just out of line with where you can get wheat from Ukraine, Russia and particularly the European Union this year,” said Townsend. North American farmers are under the mistaken impression that winter wheat produced in Russia and Ukraine is inferior, which is an outdated notion. “This is a good quality wheat that’s almost better and more desirable in some cases than Canadian or American wheat,” said Townsend. It has excellent extraction rates,

which is how much flour millers get out of a kernel of wheat, and it is dry wheat, so they are not paying for water. Black Sea wheat is making inroads in markets such as Nigeria, Mexico and Peru. There has also been stiff competition from the European Union, where countries such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia are producing good quality, high protein wheat. “This is going to be an uphill battle for Canada and the U.S. going forward,” he said. The U.S. will struggle to export its hard red winter (HRW) wheat crop, which means stocks will build in 2015-16 and weigh down prices. “That’s the big story going forward. This year’s export number for HRW is going to be fairly low.” Wheat prices temporarily jumped last week when Saudi Arabia

announced a quarterly tender for 780,000 tonnes of wheat. The market thought it would be filled in part with U.S. hard red winter wheat. “When the prices showed up, the U.S. would not have touched that sale with a 100-foot pole,” said Townsend. He expects continued stiff export competition from the Black Sea region despite prospects for smaller crops in Russia and Ukraine. Russia’s winter wheat crop got off to a wretched start, but spring rain has revived crop prospects. CWB is forecasting 55 million tonnes of Russian wheat production, down from 59 million tonnes last year. However, exports are expected to rise to 21.5 million tonnes from 20.5 million tonnes because Russia’s slumping currency is resulting in record prices for growers. The increase in Russia’s export pro-

gram will likely be offset by a one million tonne decline in Ukrainian exports because of extensive winterkill and the loss of Crimean production. The upshot is that the former Soviet Union’s export program will be similar to this year’s 38 million tonnes, which is a big export program and another reason for Townsend’s bearish price outlook. It doesn’t help that the U.S. dollar shows no sign of losing steam, which has a damping effect on commodity prices. Townsend said the only hope is for bad weather in a major wheat producing nation. “The problem with that is it might have to be Canada,” he said. India is having adversity with its wheat crop, but the country’s stockpiles are sufficient enough that it will not need to import product. Everywhere else looks pretty good, including the U.S., Russia, Ukraine and one other notable production region. “With every passing day, the European wheat crop gets closer to being more or less a made crop,” said Townsend. sean.pratt@producer.com

BARLEY

Market for malting barley showing new signs of life New varieties available to prairie growers BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Malting barley growers should have a steadily improving and profitable crop if they keep it in their rotations, industry leaders say. “If you look at the costs of production and where the contracts are for malt barley this year, barley’s probably the second or third highest (returning) commodity,” said Pat Rowan, senior manager for Anheuser-Busch InBev’s BARI Canada. “The maltsters are certainly all scouring for old crop and they’re contracting new crop.” Barley’s slide in acreage and sagging popularity among farmers has caused much consternation. Traditional crops such as canola and spring wheat have seen bigger yield and profitability gains, while crops new to the region such as c o r n a n d s o y b e a n h av e m a d e inroads in traditional barley-growing areas. However, more investment in variety development and more aggressive contracting by buyers has increased the crop’s competitiveness with other choices. A number of good-yielding tworow varieties have emerged that allow farmers to plant malting barley without thinking they will necessarily face a big yield drag compared to feed varieties, said Michael Brophy, president and chief executive officer of the Brewing and Malting Barley Research Institute. “They are higher yielding than AC Metcalfe,” said Brophy. “They can put more bushels in the bin.” More available contracts and better yielding varieties should begin to reverse barley’s recent slide, he added. ed.white@producer.com

Feed barley exports spark rally Sellers are benefitting from the competition between grain companies and feedlot owners BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Cattle feeders are chasing a western Canadian feed grains market that has been stolen away from them, say brokers and analysts. The assumption that feeders had all of the Prairies’ barley to choose from has turned out to be wrong now that offshore export buyers have stepped in. “Some of the feeders are having trouble getting covered,” said analyst Jim Beusekom of Market Place Commodities in Lethbridge. “It’s a good situation if you’re a seller.” Jared Seitz of the Agfinity online grain brokerage said cattle feeders have suddenly found that farmers aren’t interested in offering much to the Lethbridge market. “Buyers are on the hunt and we’re just looking for offers,” said Seitz. The prairie feed market caught fire in late March when elevator companies began aggressively bidding for farmers’ barley. Until that point, there had been almost no export business to draw feed barley away from Alberta feedlots.

It’s a good situation if you’re a seller. JIM BEUSEKOM MARKET PLACE COMMODITIES

The grain companies jumped in, posted good prices and attracted a lot of grain. The elevator began to seem like a better option than Lethbridge in areas with a hefty trucking cost to reach southern Alberta, such as north-central Alberta and Saskatchewan. Beusekom said that has forced Lethbridge buyers to trump elevator bids in the southern Alberta region, boosting local prices $10 to $15 per tonne to around $220 per tonne, or $4.80 per bushel. Seitz said he has seen Calgary-area feed wheat prices rise from $5.10 per bu., picked up, to $5.40. The anxiety for feeders is greater now because April-June is the traditional high priced barley period. Not only is the export market taking away

already low stocks of prairie barley, but road bans and busy farmers should soon reduce sales. Analyst Errol Anderson of Pro Market Wire called the recent barley rally a “barn burner” and urged farmers to take advantage of it for both old crop and new crop sales. “We’re peaking,” he said. “It’s a friendly opportunity to the grower.” Anderson said cattle feeders are bullish about future beef price prospects, so they think they can afford high feed grain prices. However, the justification for higher barley prices will evaporate if beef prices begin slipping, as he suspects they will after the May long weekend. Seitz said cattle feeders have ended up in a far different prairie feed grains market than they had expected a few months ago. They were able to buy affordable milling quality Canada Prairie Spring wheat even two months ago, but the elevators are now out-pricing them. “Once again we find ourselves limited to feed grade CPS and hard red and winter wheat, which really limits things,” said Seitz. ed.white@producer.com

BARLEY PRICES RALLY A rush of exports is creating new demand for the tight supply of feed barley. This is adding to the usual seasonal price increases. Southern Alberta feedlots had to hike prices to match export bids at elevators. Alberta Canola Producers weekly grain price report shows values took off the first week of April.

FORECAST

USDA makes minor stocks adjustments but confirms large global crop surplus REUTERS AND WESTERN PRODUCER STAFF

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its outlook for domestic corn supplies by less than expected April 11. Its lowered projection for soybean ending stocks was in line with market forecasts. The changes were modest in the big picture of supply and demand, and after the initial reactions, the trade appeared to view the report as confir-

mat i o n o f a m p l e c ro p s u p p l y . Futures prices drifted lower in the following days. The USDA pegged year-end corn stocks for 2014-15 at a nine year high of 1.827 billion bushels, 50 million bu. more than in its March report, but it was less than the 1.854 billion that the trade expected. The bump came from a cut to use in the feed and residual category, which market watchers had expected. The USDA had cut its corn ending stocks projection in the five previous

monthly crop reports. The department put global year end corn stocks at 188.46 million tonnes, which was more than the trade’s expected 186.91 million. The U SDA lowered domestic 2014-15 soybean ending stocks to 370 million bu. from 385 million in March. The forecast matched the average trade forecast. Stocks will be well up over 2013-14’s 90 million bu. It slightly increased its forecast for 2014-15 year end global soybean

stocks to 89.55 million tonnes, up from 89.53 million last month. Global stocks were 66.32 million tonnes last year. The USDA pegged domestic wheat ending stocks at 684 million bu., down from 691 million bu. in the March report and below market expectations of 692 million bu. It lowered world wheat ending stocks to 197.21 million tonnes, below expectations. The news should have supported wheat prices, but the weakness in

corn follow ing the repor t also dragged wheat down. The USDA increased its forecast for Argentina’s soybean crop to 57 million tonnes from 56 million. It did not change its outlook of 94.5 million tonnes for Brazil. The robust harvest of both crops from the major South American producers has weighed on corn and soybean futures as export demand has shifted to that region and away from the United States in recent months.

OAT SUPPLY AND DEMAND

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers are receiving false signals about oats, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely to leave the North American industry short of the crucial crop, says analyst Randy Strychar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (farmer) being told, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oats prices suck. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t grow any,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Strychar said about new crop oat prices versus new crop wheat prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The (supply and demand fundamentals) are telling me the exact opposite.â&#x20AC;? He said neither futures prices nor basis levels are reflecting the tight oat supply. End users could regret their low spring new crop bids when they find they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough supply next fall and winter. He expects oats stocks at the end of the current crop year will be a tight 535,000 tonnes, down from 1.03 million at the end of 2013-14. That is lower than the Agricultue Canada forecast of 825,000 tonnes and he thinks he might have to tighten his ending stocks forcast even more given the rate of exports to date. He thinks oat ending stocks in 2015-16 wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve much, even if farmers seed 3.2 million acres, which is a 15 percent increase on last year, and harvest a good crop,

he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m friendly to outright bullish.â&#x20AC;? Recent oat prices have lagged compared to wheat prices, which changes a crucial component of the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s profitability calculations. A relative weakening of oats compared to wheat will tend to push farmers to increase wheat acres and reduce oats acres if they are considering wheat, oats or barley for the cereals component of their rotation. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what has been happening for the last month, Strychar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 50 cents (per bushel) awayâ&#x20AC;? from new crop prices that would generate more than 3.2 million acres of crop, Strychar said. Present futures prices have oats at less than US$3 per bu. throughout the 2015-16 marketing year. Oats have unique market dynamics, with the crop almost all grown in one region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Western Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and processed in one region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Minneapolis-Chicago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with a

handful of millers and two big multinational processors dominating. The vagaries of those regions and the particular situations of those players often have outsized effects. For example, in the winter of 201314 oats from the Canadian Prairies could not get through the rail system to the Minneapolis area. The result was sky-high futures prices and low prairie cash prices. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relatively weak forward oat prices appear to be the result of Minneapolis millers and processors refilling their local storage and not needing to buy more crop. However, Strychar thinks buyers should be worrying about the potential tight stocks next winter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one in the U.S. seems to be too concerned about it,â&#x20AC;? said Strychar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of getting fooled.â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just astounded by the lack of urgency.â&#x20AC;? ed.white@producer.com

Grain traders forecast hike in pea and lentil acres this year due to strong demand BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pulse processors will be running out of product this summer. A brisk export program has led to dwindling North American supplies, said Murad Al-Katib, president of AGT Food and Ingredients. Canada shipped 2.11 million tonnes of peas and 1.35 million tonnes of lentils between Aug. 1 and Feb. 28, up from 1.65 million tonnes of peas and 990,000 tonnes of lentils for the same period the previous year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bad news on that is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see two to four weeks at the end of quarter two and maybe a few weeks in quarter three where product is going to become in tight supply,â&#x20AC;? he told investment analysts during a conference call about the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 results. The slowdown in grower deliveries is expected to happen in June and July. He said AGTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plants in Turkey, India and Australia should be busy during the period, which will help offset the slowdown in the North American facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sounding any alarm bells. I think there will be a modest effect in those particular quarters,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib. The good news is that the company is projecting a big new crop of pulses this year.He is forecasting a 15 percent increase in Canadian lentil acreage, which is in line with what analysts are expecting. Al-Katib expects a similar increase in pea plantings, which is well above what others are anticipating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the earlier spring that people are forecasting and strong prices, we could see acres go up even higher,â&#x20AC;? he said. Marlene Boersch, managing partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture, is forecasting a minimum 10 percent hike in pea plantings. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, is calling for a seven percent increase. Brian Clancey, editor of Stat Publishing, is forecasting six percent more peas. Agriculture Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first estimate of the year was for a four percent bump. Al-Katib is not concerned about moving a big crop in 2015-16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect demand to be very strong,â&#x20AC;? he said. Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop â&#x20AC;&#x153;doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look goodâ&#x20AC;? because of late season rain. He

expects the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top pulse importer to be in the market at the same or higher level as 2014-15, during which it is expected to buy four million tonnes of pulses from abroad. The Middle East will also be a strong customer. Turkey is expected to produce 400,000 tonnes of lentils, which is the new norm for a country that used to produce a lot more. Civil war in Syria and conflict with the Islamic military group ISIS in Iraq has been good for pulse crop demand as governments try to keep their people fed to fend off further civil unrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of efforts to make sure tummies are full right now,â&#x20AC;? said AlKatib. Another good sign for pulse demand is that the United Nations has declared 2016 the International Year of Pulses. Al-Katib told the analysts they should look back to 2013, when the UN declared it the International Year of Quinoa, to see what kind of impact that can have on demand for a commodity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Quinoa) has become a wide-scale consumed product that went from obscurity to the vocabulary of mainstream North American and Western European consumers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hopeful that there will be a similar effect on pulses. Food companies are getting ready for that.â&#x20AC;? Food manufacturers are already lining up supplies so they can have new pulse-based food products ready to launch next year. Al-Katib told analysts that strong demand and increased supply will see AGTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s processing plants operating at more than 80 percent capacity this year, up from 77 percent last year and 50 percent in 2012. He was confident AGT will continue to gain market share. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our reputation at the farm level is very high,â&#x20AC;? said Al-Katib. He said that comes from a decade of providing growers with the right information, accepting product at multiple delivery locations and paying them on time. sean.pratt@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE RALLY The fed steer average price last week almost hit $200 per hundredweight. In Canada, packers eventually bought most of the week’s modest cash offering at an average steer price of $199.86, up 75 cents from the previous week. American packers bought a few Canadian cattle at US$270 dressed, steady with the previous week. Alberta dressed sales rose C$1-$4 with most trade from $335-$338 per cwt. delivered. Alberta packers were pulling in cattle from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The April Chicago live cattle contract fell 4.225 cents over the week, three cents on Friday alone, but the Canadian cash market held up well. Weekly Alberta cash-to-futures basis strengthened to -$3.07 from -$5.42. Reduced slaughter rates prompted packers to pressure cash cattle in the U.S. Plains last week to US$163$165.50 per cwt. live, down from $167$169 the previous week, Reuters reported. Weekly western Canadian slaughter to April 4 fell 17 percent because of the Good Friday holiday to 26,075 head. Weekly fed exports to March 28 rose 10 percent to 7,084 head. April show lists should moderate, and cash trade will be limited. U.S. interest should continue to enhance competition. A few fed calves traded last week,

and excellent feeding conditions could increase that number. However, profitable feeding margins might encourage feedlots to keep early calves on feed as long as possible.

COW PRICE UP Western Canadian weekly cow slaughter has been 4,000-4,300 head in recent weeks, the lowest seen this year. A c c u m u l a t e d Ca n a d i a n c o w slaughter this year is down 18,600 head, while accumulated exports are down more than 25,000 head from 2014. D1, D2 cows ranged $140-$155 to average $148.17, up $2.50. D3 cows ranged $120-$140 to average $129.25. Rail grade cows ranged $279-$284 per cwt. The butcher bull average was $167.90, up $10 over two weeks. Higher yielding bulls are now trading in the mid-$180s. Western Canadian D1, D2 cows are trading at a $5-$7 premium over U.S. utility cow prices. There is a chance northern U.S. cows will come into Canada if this premium continues to grow.

FEEDERS HIT RECORD The western Canadian calf and feeder index climbed $9.16 to $226.03 per cwt., a new record, because demand for all classes of feeders was strong. The 850 pound steer-heifer price spread has been wide this year, but it narrowed over the past couple of

weeks to $11 per cwt.: $248.33 steers versus heifers at $237.25. Export interest and breeding premium are contributing to the narrowing spread. Interest for yearling forward contracting has started to pick up. Steers 875 lb. in Saskatchewan traded at $253 for September delivery. Exports rose to 17,987 head, up six percent from the same time last year. Many of the feeders going south are contract cattle. Cattle lighter than 500 lb. are rallying as much as heavier stockers, likely because they are too light to go on grass. Also, quality has been mixed. Lethbridge cash barley prices have jumped $20-$30 higher, the strongest

HERD ASSUMPTIONS

China’s herd numbers confound corn demand projections MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

ne of the great unanswered questions in crop markets is whether China will become a major corn importer. It has been predicted for more than a decade, but it never materialized as China’s domestic production made great strides. As the great ethanol demand rally levels out, growers wonder what will be the next demand source to eat up the globe’s rising corn productive capacity. Growing global population and incomes will increase demand for all crops, but the spotlight has been on China because the assumption was it was near the point where corn farmers could no longer keep up with demand from its booming livestock sector. An article in Choices magazine by Bryan Lohmar, director for China at the U.S. Grains Council, says wrong assumptions about the size of the country’s livestock herds are the main reason why previous projections were wrong. However, corn production will become a limiting factor for China’s growing livestock herds in the long term, he says. The country must

import more corn or more meat to match growing meat demand and will likely do both, he says. Officially, China says it produced 54.9 million tonnes of pork in 2013, or about 40.7 kilograms per capita. However, monthly slaughter statistics imply an annual slaughter of 466 million head, producing 36 million tonnes of pork, rather than the officially stated 715.6 million head producing 54.9 million tonnes. So China was able to keep up with livestock feed demand because the hog herd was smaller than official statistics indicated. However, meat demand will continue to increase. Can China’s corn farmers keep up with the growing feed demands from expanding herds? Acreage expansion will be limited by urban growth, and yield increases will require attention to soil health and fertility, which is hard to achieve in China’s system of small, fragmented land holdings, Lohmar argues. China will likely have to start importing corn. However, Lohmar also suggests that China will look at livestock farms’ demands on the country’s scarce land and water resources and the issue of manure management and will decided to import more meat from countries that have the resources to more easily expand livestock production. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Cruelty laws can be enforced without jeopardizing farms

ew proposals put forth as potential amendments to Canada’s animal cruelty laws could have serious implications for producers and the livestock industry. Those who suggest removing animals from the property section of the Criminal Code and those who propose changing definitions for when neglect constitutes a prosecuting offence should not go unchallenged. We are not talking about changes to laws that protect animals from purposeful abuse, such as those videotaped in a British Columbia dairy barn last year. Most people who handle livestock would have no issues with strong, reasonable national animal cruelty laws. Presently, most livestock groups are governed by codes of practice, many of which have been adopted as laws on provincial levels. While important, those standards do not replace the need for new national legislation, which can provide more widespread leadership and ensure equal welfare expectations across the country. Two private members bills are now wending through Parliament. Although they stand little chance of success, they are adding to the debate and so cannot be ignored. Both contain phrasing that could help prevent producers from being unfairly harassed. However, there is also wording in one of them, Bill C-610, that would make it an offence for “failing to provide suitable food, water, air, shelter and care.” No intent, or wilful neglect, is mentioned. Any neglect is bad, of course, but this presents a problem. Most animal neglect cases arise when other stress factors come into play. In cases where marital problems, financial difficulties or mental health issues are identified as root causes, a more deft touch is required. Heavier fines and jail time will have no effect. What will help are programs to raise awareness and combat the stigma that surrounds

mental health issues such as depression. Ready access to social support mechanisms is also key. Properly funded livestock response units are also needed. Humane societies have struggled to provide this service, but have lacked appropriate support. It requires a team steeped in farming traditions with the educational background and experience necessary to protect animals from unnecessary suffering, while also being sensitive to particular situations and accounting for generally accepted farming practices. A separate proposal suggested by the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies is for animals to be moved out of the property section of the Criminal Code. Clearly, animals are not property in the same way that a farm truck is. Or put another way, as animal behaviouralist Temple Grandin said in a 2002 paper, “there is a fundamental difference between cows and screwdrivers.” She outlines a case for welfare protections based on nervous system and brain complexity. Basic life, such as viruses, bacteria, oysters and worms, are probably too primitive to suffer and so don’t require protection. Animals at another level might feel pain and fear, while those possessing the most complex brains and nervous systems should have additional protections to ensure adequate socialization, interaction and an enriching environment. This requires more research and clear standards but also an acceptance that animals are indeed property. We have the legal right to buy them, sell them, slaughter them and eat them. However, we can still ensure their rights and proper care through laws and other protections.

INFORMATION SHARING

Food agency’s communication strategy a breath of fresh air CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

here is nothing more frustrating for a journalist than the inability to get basic information for a story from official channels, particularly at the federal level. The relationship between the federal government and the Parliamentar y Press Galler y is especially strained, one that is unlikely to improve much in the coming months thanks to the rapidly approaching federal election. Which is why the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s communication response to the single case of H5N2 avian flu in Ontario has been a pleasant surprise. The CFIA’s last communications

effort, which had been prompted by a leak that revealed a case of BSE had been found on an Alberta farm in February, received heavy criticism from some reporters, including yours truly. In that particular case, obtaining basic information such as the location of the index farm and the birth farm, was like pulling teeth. The agency’s initial plan was to not make the case public until its monthly reporting period in March, a policy that CFIA and the cattle industry insist is simply standard practice. This time around CFIA appears to have amended its communication strategy. Reporters were first informed of the single case of avian flu April 7 through a CFIA news release that was sent to the entire Parliamentary Press Gallery. That in itself is an improvement over the BSE case, when the agency put out a response but didn’t send it to the gallery’s main email, which frustrated several reporters who were unaware of the CFIA’s response.

Included in the news release was the location of the two farms initially put under quarantine, which is another improvement over the BSE response, when the CFIA refused to identify where the farm was located and sparked confusion on the ground. Reporters were also told it was an H5 strain of avian flu, the index farm was a turkey farm that had reported higher than average deaths and initial testing had been done April 5 at the University of Guelph’s laboratory. The birds on the farm would be euthanized, and the farm owner was co-operating. A technical briefing was scheduled for later that day with CFIA vicepresident Paul Mayers and Ontario chief veterinarian Greg Douglas at 4 p.m. ET, where reporters were told about further testing to determine the “N” strain of the disease. That has since been identified as H5N2. Technical briefings are designed to educate reporters about an issue, including explanations of scientific terms, agency policy and additional

information such as the number of birds on the farm and trade restrictions. They are also a chance for reporters to speak to officials who might not be made available to the media on a regular basis. These technical briefings are critical in agriculture because they can help reporters who don’t regularly cover the industry wrap their heads around the issues. The CFIA has held three technical briefings on the avian flu case in Ontario as of April 13, where reporters have been updated on the number of farms under quarantine, the number of affected birds, CFIA’s containment strategy and markets that have imposed restrictions because of the case. Officials have also answered questions about how a control zone works, the source of disease and the variations in the different types of avian flu. Reporters have been allowed multiple rounds of questions, and officials have been able to provide detailed answers, which is wasn’t always pos-

sible in the BSE case. In that situation, officials deferred to the ongoing investigation or privacy concerns to justify unanswered questions, which, rightly or wrongly, prompted more reporter frustration. To be fair, the main difference between the BSE case and the avian flu case is that this time around the CFIA has remained ahead of the story, whereas with BSE the agency was immediately put on the defensive. This is not to say the CFIA communication response to the avian flu has been perfect, but it is certainly a marked improvement over past experiences with the agency. An informed media means a better chance of an informed public. Ensuring reporters and journalists are well briefed on the issues at hand helps avoid confusion, particularly where accurate information is critical and much is at stake. One can only hope this trend continues. Kelsey Johnson is a reporter with iPolitics, www.ipolitics.ca.

CONSUMER DEMANDS

New wheat class casts doubt on future

Customers entitled to their opinion

BY DAVID GEHL

he Canadian Grain Commission recently proposed creating a new class of lower quality milling wheat with the stated objective of protecting the integrity of the Canada Western Red Spring class. However, the introduction of this new class may actually undermine CWRS wheat by facilitating the introduction of higher yielding, lower protein American hard red spring varieties. Prairie wheat producers and others in the Canadian grain industry should give this development careful consideration. Will western grain farmers actually benefit from introducing a new class of lower quality milling wheat? CWRS wheat has long enjoyed a well-earned reputation in the world marketplace as a premium quality milling wheat. It is in steady demand, almost always at a premium price, because of its versatility and ability to improve end-use quality in blends with lower quality wheat. The integrity of Canadian wheat classes is protected by a grading system administered by the grain commission and a variety registration system which has, until recently, restricted commercial production of milling wheat varieties with lower quality outside the parameters of prescribed market classes. The dissolution of the Canadian Wheat Board single desk, an oversupply from the bumper crop of 2013 and several years of adverse growing conditions that resulted in quality challenges have resulted in lower prices paid to prairie wheat producers.

A new class of lower quality milling wheat could undermine the important Canada Western Red Spring class. | FILE PHOTO In turn, end-use buyers have complained of erratic quality and in some cases have turned to alternative suppliers. The introduction of a new class of milling wheat has the potential to further disrupt the Canadian wheat production and marketing system, which has well served the interests of producers and end users for decades. Recent privatization of the grain commission’s system of grading export shipments and a lack of reserve capacity in the Canadian grain handling and transportation system have added to the problems. Farmers are experiencing the freedom to market their CWRS wheat for lower returns than under the CWB

single desk. Their resultant anger has been deliberately misdirected at the railways, a traditional scapegoat. Meanwhile, grain company profits are at record levels. No one can blame prairie producers for their anger. They are producing a premium product and often earning a discounted price. Under these conditions, the opportunity to produce higher yielding American HRS varieties will be attractive to many in the short term. Some of the outcomes are predictable: • The area planted to American HRS varieties on the Canadian Prairies will grow dramatically as long as higher quality CWRS varieties do not earn offsetting price pre-

miums for growers. • Increased volumes of lower quality spring wheat because of widescale production of American HRS varieties will add to reserve capacity problems in the Canadian grain handling and transportation system. • Canadian seed companies with distribution rights for American HRS varieties will enjoy high sales and profits for several years. • A profusion of new spring wheat varieties will place pressure on the Canadian variety registration and provincial variety testing systems. • Canadian public sector wheat breeding programs will be at a significant disadvantage to American public sector and transnational private sector breeding programs, which currently focus on developing higher yielding American HRS wheat. The introduction of a new marketing class of spring wheat is the next logical step if the ultimate objective is to dismantle the Canadian wheat system and replace it with a North American system dominated by transnational grain and crop life companies. By doing so, Western Canada will sacrifice its international market niche supplying the highest quality milling wheat. In return, it will compete with American and other wheat growing regions that are much closer to port, have lower land and labour costs and better climates and whose ports are thousands of kilometres closer to end-use customers.

Many climate change questions, few answers HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

very time the weather exhibits some anomaly, every time there’s a significant or serious weather event, climate change fear mongers are all over it. Anything and everything is seen as a harbinger of climate change Armageddon. Here are some headlines from a recent newspaper. Climate change dooms remote village According to this story, written by Chris Mooney of the Washington Post, it is no longer safe for inhabitants of a tiny, isolated town in Alaska to hunt whales because the ice has

become too thin. Even worse, without the protection of ice, the island town is in danger from powerful waves, and many say it needs to be relocated. Snow pack in sharp decline: Now is the time to talk about the bite from climate change This is a commentary by Stephen Hume of the Vancouver Sun. Hume argues that the brutal drought occurring in California is also trending in British Columbia. Less snow pack in the mountains means the Prairies are doomed. California certainly has a water crisis and there seems to be strong evidence that glaciers are rapidly retreating in the Rockies. It’s important to monitor and measure and design policies accordingly. However, weather anomalies are not new. Mankind has always faced droughts, floods, epic winters and searing heat waves. The difference is that every weather event is now being linked to climate change.

Climate patterns are always changing. Here on the Prairies, entire decades can be notably dry or notably wet. However, if the world’s climate is rapidly changing, as alarmists would have us believe, wouldn’t worldwide food supply be in obvious jeopardy? Instead, global production of the major grains and oilseeds has managed to keep up with the growth in world population. P ro d u c t i o n v a r i e s by re g i o n according to weather patterns, but that’s nothing new. Overall, world production shows a steady growth curve. Yes, some of this is because of improved crop varieties and production practices, but you can’t increase yields if the weather is against you. Farmers are urged to adapt to climate change, but what change should we expect? Flooding and too much water has been the major limiting factor to crop production on the Prairies over the past decade. Is that the new norm? Can climatologists guarantee that we won’t have a precipitation shortage this year?

When pressed, some climate change theorists say we’re going to have a lot more variability. That’s a convenient hypothesis, but it has little value for agriculture. Has any of the climate change theory helped you be a better farmer? Scientists predict with seeming certainty what world temperatures will be in 10 or 20 years but are unable to predict the weather next month or next year. Will it eventually rain in California or is agriculture there doomed? Will the wet years on the Canadian Prairies continue? Will our growing season continue to lengthen? What areas of the world will see production declines and what areas are likely to see increases? Go ahead. Label me a climate change denier. That conveniently marginalizes anyone who asks questions. But without answers, all the climate change work has little value. Kevin Hursh is an agricultural journalist, consultant and farmer. He can be reached by e-mail at kevin@hursh.ca.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

he adage “the customer is always right” is a short phrase with a long tail. Consumers in the developed world are asking more from their food suppliers all the time. Some of the requests have legitimacy, such as when it comes to modern food safety and livestock handling practices that reduce animal stress. Others are just popular. Your Western Producer has recently published several stories that are receiving more than the usual attention, both traditionally and in social media. Largely it comes from consumers and agricultural watchers, but you have voiced your opinion, too. Some folks outside of the industry want a voice in farming. Many believe wheat is a poison, hormones dangerous, free chickens don’t peck each other, glyphosate carcinogenic and organic, grass fed, antibioticfree is the answer. We have an interesting story, and video online, about organic food safety on page 29. Recently, we have had popular coverage of international buyers of Canadian wheat wanting what they have come to expect from our grain. That is fair comment, in my mind. For producers who mainly export products to distant lands, is their responsibility just to those buyers? Or should producers take heed of the opinions of a vocal minority of fellow North Americans who buy only a smaller percentage of prairie farm production and feel an obligation to be unscientifically critical of how grain is grown and livestock reared? A&W implies its burgers are made of better beef because it is raised without hormone implants. And it implies the meat tastes better. Our most popular story online last week quotes a veterinarian referring to the issue as a “hullabaloo.” The 100-mile diet won’t work out here on the plains. Unlike our Central Canadian farming brethren, we farm at a distance from most of our markets. Prairie prices are world prices, less significant discounts for shipping and what middlemen take. Most western producers can’t afford the luxury of smaller farms and organic or free-roaming production. And if that were to happen, the food might end up costing more than the average North American urban family would be willing to pay. We recently published a story about a mink farm, which drew fire from a large group of people who apparently don’t approve. Everyone is free to have their own opinions, right or wrong, particularly customers.

amendments to the Canada Grain Act in 2012 have not affected the quality and consistency of Canadian wheat shipments. For the 2013-14 crop year — a year where western Canadian grain producers saw record yields — the Canadian Grain Commission inspected and provided certificate finals for 34.9 million tonnes of grain (15.4 mil-

NO SURPRISES To the Editor: Re: Front page headline “Buyers dispute Canada’s status as top quality wheat supplier” (WP March 26) Surprise, surprise. Those supporters of the old Canadian Wheat Board and the single desk monopoly told the government and those who wanted to destroy the single desk that quality would be lost when the old Canadian Wheat Board was destroyed.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 16, 2015

I am a retired farmer and it’s not too many years ago that some U.S. grain companies got caught putting garbage (screenings plus adding moisture to increase weight) into grain shipments. Let’s say eight percent of garbage is added by weight to a shipment of 400,000 bushels — get the picture? The U.S. has never had the high standards that our old Canadian Wheat Board had for quality and I believe that the grain companies in Canada cannot supply that same quality. Not too many years ago, farmers in Western Canada had the greatest grain handling, marketing and transportation system in the world. That has been lost. We had the best farmer-owned grain company in the world and like the CWB, that co-operative was destroyed. Remember the crop year of 201314? Farmers were getting just over $4 per bushel for wheat and the same wheat was being sold for just over $11 per bushel by the multinational companies. This year farmers are getting just over $5 per bushel, thanks to the grain companies. The multinational grain companies made more money in 2013-14 crop year. Can you find those profits printed anywhere? No, and why not? No transparency. Ain’t it wonderful? We’ve got no farmer owned multi-national and no marketing agency.

Re: “Farmers should welcome nature’s architect” by Dan Yates (WP March 26.) Overall, the article was actually quite interesting. Problem is that we are not in a dry cycle right now on most of the Prairies, thus the article will not resonate very well with most readers. I believe most readers are quite happy with beavers in general, but also they realize that when conditions are generally very wet there ends up being too many of the Canadian symbol causing way too many problems. Interestingly, Lorne Fitch, riparian specialist with Cows and Fish in Alberta, says beavers have benefited from lower fur prices (for that specific animal) and declining rural populations, meaning their activities cause fewer problems. Quite the contrary. When the prices were up, and when there were more rural residents, we looked after our own beaver problems. The problems for rural Saskatchewan are the worst they have been for years for the very reason Fitch sees as benefits. This is just another sign of not knowing what is really happening in rural areas. Cows and Fish’s fact sheet of simplistic “over abundant beaver fixes” such as wrapping trees, building a fence or modifying grazing routines is just that, too simplistic. I realize they did say “can be” so I will give them that. David Weiman, Danbury, Sask.

SOCIAL MEDIA

When a tweet goes berserk PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

t was with good intentions that I tweeted Robert Arnason’s onthe-farm article about the mink producers from Ontario with the #farm365 hash tag, but the road to Twitter hell is paved with such naivety. OK, Twitter hell is too strong a description for what I experienced. It was more like a mildly annoying Twitter purgatory level, where every time I looked at my phone there were dozens of notifications from social media animal activists tweeting, retweeting or favouriting brutal photos of animal abuse to me — a lesson to me for promoting the fur industry. Not that I was promoting the fur industry. People use Twitter accounts in many ways. I use my account to put forward quality journalism about agriculture or from-the-farm pictures by some of the many Canadian producers I follow. I don’t necessarily agree with every story I tweet, and there is usually more to a topic than any story can cover. However, if I think the story is interesting, I send it out to my Twitter followers because they too may appreciate the read. Much of the negative Twitter attention I received stemmed from my use of the #farm365 hash tag in the tweet. If you haven’t been following that saga of #farm365 on Twitter, I’ll give you the Coles notes. Ontario dairy producer Andrew Campbell decided to showcase his farm and challenge some of the misconceptions of animal mistreatment within the dairy industry by tweeting a photo from his farm every day for a year with #farm365. However, it didn’t take long for # f a r m 3 6 5 t o b e c o m e a b at t l e ground between animal activists and farmers. Many producers continue to tweet pictures of their farming activities using #farm365, often in an attempt to stand in solidarity with fellow producers and behind their own farm practices. In an age where social media is awash with misinformation when it comes to agriculture, #farm365 is a good campaign to help farmers communicate directly to consumers. Instead of stewing about how agricultural industry critics seem to be able to exert their perspective so efficiently on social media, producers can use Twitter to insert their point of view into the dialogue. You will not convince a vegan to eat veal and you will likely be attacked for standing up for your beliefs and vocation, but that’s OK and better than the alternative, which is to let people who know nothing about you define you. You can always ignore or block users you think aren’t adding anything positive to the conversation. As well, there are opportunities to hear concerns that some commentators have about agricultural practices. robin.booker@producer.com

ALBERTA ELECTION

Rural voters ponder return to PCs Early surveys show no clear favourite as Progressive Conservative leader seeks mandate BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

STETTLER, Alta. — As a lifelong Progressive Conservative, Dale Nixon agreed to host a barbecue for PC candidate Jack Hayden and leader Jim Prentice at his rural Alberta home. It was a way for Nixon and his visitors to have a closer look at Prentice and see if they could be lured back to the PC fold in the May 5 Alberta election. “I have been PC all my life, but last election I didn’t vote for them because they needed a shot of humility,” said Nixon. “Jim Prentice seems like a very good man. I have been asking around and they all think he will do good for us.” For many at the campaign stop, it was the first time meeting Prentice, who became Alberta premier last September after former premier Alison Redford stepped down amid spending scandals. The PCs have governed the province for 44 years. Prentice delivered a tough love budget in March, promising to get

Alberta off its oil and gas dependency. Twelve days later, he called an election. Early election poll results show Albertans don’t want an election and are tired of the governing PCs. The polls show that the PCs, Wildrose and NDP are tied with roughly the same amount of support. Former Consort Enterprise editor Mary Readman is also searching for a place to park her vote. “It is called casting a most reluctant ballot,” Readman said during the barbecue. “I admire Jack Hayden, he has been a friend, he has been a really good man, but I don’t know what to think of the PCs anymore. They’re old and stagnant and been in too long.” Readman said she remembers partying all night when the PCs were elected in 1971. “It was wonderful. We finally got our way,” she said about when the Social Credit government was defeated after 36 years in office. However, like other voters, Readman isn’t sure who to vote for. Last election she voted for the Wildrose candidate, Rick Strankman,

This time she is not sure if she will switch back to the PCs or cast her vote elsewhere. “If it was a change for the better, great, but you put in the rank amateurs and it might get worse. People don’t know what to do.” Readman isn’t sure Wildrose is ready to lead the province. It elected 17 MLAs in 2012, but former leader Danielle Smith led a mass defection to the PCs before Christmas, which left five Wildrose members and lost the party all credibility for Readman.

Brian Jean, a former MP from the Alberta riding of Fort McMurray, is now Wildrose leader. Readman is willing to take a look at the NDP and its new leader, Rachel Notley, daughter of former provincial NDP leader Grant Notley. The party held four seats before the election was called and looks to gain more, particularly in Edmonton and Lethbridge. Alberta Liberals had five MLAs, but only two are running again, including interim leader David Swann. Greg Clark, leader of the Alberta

Party, hopes to make a breakthrough in this election and has 28 candidates running. Despite her willingness to look at other parties, Readman may give the PCs one more chance. “It is very difficult to know where to go,” she said. “It’s just like a delinquent child.

Wildrose party pledges NDP ag platform light on details return to balanced budgets Alberta New Democrats make early stops in urban centres Party would slash government staff positions

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A l b e r t a’s Wi l d ro s e p a r t y ha s released its policy platform for the May 5 election. A balanced budget by 2017 without raising taxes is the foundation of the platform that party leader Brian Jean presented in Calgary April 8. “We will achieve this with actual reductions in government, only cutting PC waste and protecting our front line services,” he said. The opposition party promised to reduce government managerial staff by 33 percent. The number of Alberta Health Services managers and consultants would be reduced by half, and a three year salary freeze would be imposed on remaining managers. Included is a limit on public executives’ salary and a roll back of elected officials’ salaries. “We want to make sure we no longer have the most expensive cabinet ministers in Canada,” Jean said. As well, travel, advertising budgets and conference expenses would be cut in half. The overall savings would reduce expenses by $2.2 billion, a party news release said April 9. Jean also called for a renewed savings plan, which would put 50 percent of budget surpluses into the province’s Heritage Trust Fund and increase the fund to $200 billion in 20 years. As well, the party promised to set up a contingency account that should reach $35 billion. That money would then be diverted to debt repayment. Another priority is to develop a patient-centred health and seniors care program, which would make more decisions at the local level. However, the centralized Alberta Health Services, which now oversees

the entire province, would continue to exist in some form, he told reporters. The education portion of the plan promises elimination of mandatory school fees, a back to basics curriculum and a simpler grading system for students in Grades 5 to 12. The rural platform promises legislation to protect property rights and amendments to controversial land use bills. An infrastructure priority list would be established, and funding for water projects could be doubled in the next five years. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley says she is running to be premier. Running appears to be the operative word, because she visited most of Alberta’s major cities during the first week of the campaign that culminates in a May 5 election. Notley made a campaign stop in Lethbridge April 8, where she officially launched the campaign of local candidate Shannon Phillips, an economic policy analyst who finished second to Progressive Conservative Greg Weadick in the last election. Phillips’ strong showing three years ago has local NDP members hopeful that Lethbridge West will become an orange spot on the political map next month. A Mainstreet Technologies survey released April 8 showed the NDP at 26 percent, PC at 27 percent and Wildrose at 31 percent support. Southern Alberta voted Wildrose in 2012 with the exception of the two Lethbridge ridings, which elected PCs. Notley said she is counting on southern Albertans’ desire for alternatives. “As Albertans have been looking around for an alternative and they’ve been looking for a message and a party that represents them and that they see themselves in, they were going to come to the NDP a little bit faster here in Lethbridge than maybe in other places because we had a really solid group of activists that have been here for a long time,” said Notley. As for NDP policies specific to rural and agricultural issues, she gave general comments. “When we talk about rural Alberta, we talk about the community and we need to make sure that we sup-

As well, she said the renewable energy potential in southern Alberta has not received the attention it deserves. “Those are the kinds of things that keep rural Alberta vibrant and successful so those are some of the things that we’ll be looking at.” Concerns about property rights legislation were key to Wildrose gains in southern Alberta before the last election. Notley said the NDP shared some opinions with the Wildrose on that front. “There was a fair amount of overlap at the time between us and the Wildrose and some elements of that,

particularly as it related to the overbuild of the electricity grid and the work that was done around that.” During her speech to party supporters, Notley criticized the PC government of Jim Prentice for its recent budget that excluded corporations from tax hikes. “They’ve put corporate tax giveaways before your family budget. They’ve put luxury golf courses before our schools for our kids. They hire more PR people for the ministry of health but they cut money from hospitals.” Notley was also critical of the “roller-coaster” of Alberta’s economy, which rests largely on oil and gas revenues.

CANADIAN WHEAT BOARD

Court ruling brings one CWB legal challenge to an end Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, which launched a class action suit against the federal government, ‘disappointed’ BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian farmers trying to sue the federal government for $17 billion over its handling of the Canadian Wheat Board have hit a legal roadblock. In an April 9 decision, the Supreme Court of Canada said it would not review a lower court decision that had blocked farmer attempts to launch a claim against Ottawa. The ruling comes as disappointing news to aggrieved farmers and Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, which has led legal efforts

against Ottawa. “We are naturally disappointed that Canada’s legal system has been unable to fully hold the federal government accountable for the confiscation and destruction of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2011,” said FCWB spokesperson Stewart Wells. “The legal system has quite simply not been able to afford justice to western Canadian farmers so far.” The response from the federal government was positive. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said in a statement that the ruling “once again upholds western Canadian farmers’ right to market-

ing freedom.” “The overwhelming majority of farmers have embraced the new economic opportunities created by marketing freedom and are taking Canadian agriculture to record heights,” he said. Last year, the Federal Court of Canada ruled that a $17 billion class action

against the federal government should not be allowed to proceed because some farmer claims against Ottawa were not supported by law. However, the federal court also ruled that a smaller lawsuit, possibly valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars, should be allowed to proceed based on the possibility that some revenue from CWB grain sales may have been misallocated. Farmers who disagreed with the federal court assessment hoped the Supreme Court would overturn the lower court’s decision. However, the Supreme Court’s April 9 ruling ends those hopes.

It also suggests that farmers’ claims to CWB’s tangible assets, including ships and office buildings, have no legal standing and that producers’ attempts to secure monetary compensation for lost marketing opportunities will not proceed. Anders Bruun, a Winnipeg lawyer involved in the class action suit, said attempts to have the case heard at the Supreme Court were based on the belief that farmers, by virtue of having supported the CWB’s operations through mandatory grain sales, had a legitimate claim to property owned by CWB and to the wheat board itself. “We thought that this would be a very good case for the court to look at and (to consider) the issue of property in a slightly broader way than they have up to now,” Bruun said. “After all, farmers have poured huge amounts of money into the entity over the years. They had the benefits of an operating service … but there are still capital assets and other property that was inherent in that wheat board that has been taken away by the federal government.” Brunn said plans to proceed with a smaller lawsuit related to misallocation of grain revenues and other CWB funds will proceed. Close to 2,000 farmers involved in that class action will seek to have their case certified this summer.

CONSUMER POLL

KEY QUESTIONS FROM THE 2015 RBC WATER ATTITUDE SURVEY:

Public lacks water management, infastructure cost information

• What will it take for Canadians to appreciate the value of drinking water? • How can we address the knowledge gap of our water infrastructure needs? • Are we preparing ourselves adequately for extreme weather?

Few Canadians know what they pay for their household water: survey BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Few Canadians know how much it costs to deliver their water. An annual water survey by the Royal Bank of Canada found that Canadians are confident in the safety of tap water in their homes, but those in rural communities were less confident than those living in large urban centres with more than 100,000 residents. The online survey, which polled about 2,250 Canadians in January, also found that while most Canadians know their household electricity costs, they are less aware of water costs. About a third have a water meter, so they know the cost, while the rest said they do not. Included in those water costs is the expense of upgrading infrastructure across Canada, which could reach as high as $80 billion on a national scale. “These are some of the most expensive things we do in our entire society,” said Bob Sandford, Epcor chair for the Canadian Partnership Initiative, which is part of the United Nations Water for Life decade. “The fact that we have the water infrastructure we do in Canada is a triumph. We just do it so well that it b e c o m e s i nv i s i b l e. … We hav e reached the point now where the public has to know about the comprehensive nature of the investments that have been made and what needs to be done in future.” Small communities face the greatest challenge because water projects are long term and expensive, Robert Haller, executive director of the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association, said during a webinar about the survey results. “Smaller communities are looking at $20 million projects, that can break them,” he said. Municipal councillors understand what needs to be done, but these projects are often 50 year programs that go beyond a politician’s election cycle. He said more work is needed to explain water bills so people understand what they use as well as the costs involved to maintain or repair a system. There are fights for government grants, he added, which forces communities to decide whether to build new hockey arenas or fix leaky water pipes. Sandford said people do not think much about water, but they expect government to do something when a severe flood occurs. The survey found that 70 percent of Canadians do not think they are in a flood zone and 80 percent do not think they are in a drought prone area. Many do not realize these events are increasing in frequency. “Weather related disasters have increased threefold since the 1960s,” said Sandford. “Most Canadians don’t know that our hydrology is changing, so we can’t expect the past to be applicable to the future.” Climate change has affected the hydrological cycle, and local infrastructure is damaged and costly to

repair when a catastrophe hits. Sandford said these extreme events have hit Canadians from coast to coast and are going to continue. Only seven percent of Canadians have suffered a direct hit from flooding, but more are aware of the problem and say they have taken steps to flood proof their property. About 50 percent of those surveyed said they think they are prepared to handle a flood, but far fewer believe

they have adequate insurance coverage. Uninsured losses are eight to 10 times higher than the insured losses. Economic measures cannot fully address what needs to be fixed, he added. “Costs can go beyond what money can fix.” He said more work is needed at the source, such as riparian management and wetland restoration for natural flood control.

Significant policy changes are also required. Sandford said the $5 billion floods of 2013 made Alberta recognize it did not have the ability or policies to deal with an incident of this magnitude. “Sooner or later we are going to have to realize we are going to have to move out of vulnerable floodplains

because it is simply going to be too expensive to keep repairing the damage,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

TRANSITION FUNDING

Growers want help going organic The European Union and the United States help pay farmers for transition costs BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The organic sector wants the federal government to provide funding for growers making the transition from conventional agriculture. Representatives of the Canada Organic Trade Association recently appeared before the Senate’s agriculture and forestry committee to make the case for transition funding. Matthew Holmes, executive director of the association, told the committee that global organic sales amount to US$72 billion per year. Canada exported an estimated C$550 million in organic products last year, a 20 percent increase from two years ago. The sector is poised for continued double digit growth but is being held back by a lack of supply from the country’s 5,000 certified farms, handlers and manufacturers. An estimated 1.8 percent of Canada’s farmers are organic producers, which is not sufficient to meet the growing demand for organic products. Holmes told senators that the transition to organics can be costly and disruptive for farmers. They are learning new skills and methods that sometimes result in a temporary reduction in yields. The certification process can be expensive, ranging from $600 to

$2,000 a year depending on the type of farm. There are also inspection fees on top of that. The process takes an average of three years, during which time the grower does not have access to organic premiums. Shauna MacKinnon, community relations and development officer with the association, said Canadian farmers bear the full cost of transitioning to organics. “Canada is really alone in comparison to our trading partners in not providing that kind of support at the federal level,” she said. For instance, the United States has set aside $57.5 million this year in the farm bill to help pay for the cost of becoming an organic farmer. The program will be in place for the next 15 years. MacKinnon said the European Union has had similar programs in place for 15 to 20 years. She said a federal transition program would help Canadian growers become more competitive and narrow the demand-supply gap. Canada lost 25 percent of its farm operators between 1991 and 2011 and 75 percent of its growers younger than 40, according to census data. “We need to bring more farmers into agriculture, and organic is the strongest part of the food sector right now,” she said. “There’s a very strong case to be

made for why there needs to be a greater focus on providing support for farmers to come into organic.” Statistics Canada data shows organic farms employ twice as many people as conventional farms. “This investment in organic is also a stronger investment in rural communities and our agriculture sector,” said MacKinnon. Holmes said a mistake that was made in the equivalency agreement with the European Union is also holding back the Canadian sector. A clause in the agreement stipulates that all products exported to the EU must be 100 percent Canadian, which works fine for bulk commodities but not as well for manufactured goods. It is hard to find Canadian organic sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and tropical fruit that might be ingredients in a manufactured product. It means Canadian food exporters must pay the cost of a second certification. The Europeans don’t face the same restrictions under the equivalency agreement. The U.S. didn’t include that clause when it signed an equivalency agreement with the EU six months later. Holmes said that one clause has been a major impediment in the development of Canada’s organic processing sector. sean.pratt@producer.comc

FINANCIAL PLANNING

SURVEY | LEADERSHIP

Women take financial control

Lifting barriers main goal of CAHRC survey

Advancing Women in Agriculture participants learn about investing and retirement options BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

In their later years, many women will be forced to manage their money on their own but few are well prepared to take on that responsibility. “The probability says that you will likely be alone or not living with somebody else and obviously be responsible for managing your financial resources,” said Gwen Paddock, RBC national manager for agriculture and agribusiness. Women want financial security but are often unsure of how to grow wealth, said Paddock, who spoke about financial security and investments at the Advancing Women in Agriculture conference held in Calgary April 6-7. Women tend to be more conservative investors who want security and in general do not seek to accumulate money for its own sake but as a way to care for themselves and their families, she said. However North American demographics are changing. Canadian women make up 50.4 percent of the population and 48 percent of the workforce. Women on average earn $30,000 per year

and men earn $47,000. The gap is closing but women often devote time to rearing children or caring for aging parents. “Every year a woman is out of the workforce she has to work five extra years in order to recover the lost income,” Paddock said. They also have contributed less to pension plans and may have missed out on some promotions. However, women are increasingly inheriting and controlling more wealth because they tend to outlive their spouses. In North America, one-third of women control the wealth and more are the primary breadwinners. “We are a growing economic force yet we lag behind men when it comes to using those assets to plan and build financial security for the future,” Paddock said. Couples need to talk about their finances, and Paddock advises finding a financial adviser to plan for the future. Women may not feel comfortable dealing with a financial advisor who uses language they do not understand or treats them with less respect, she said. Women want empathy and advice on decisions for short, medi-

um and longer terms. “You may not think that you are good at it but you can be,” Paddock said. Recent Environics research polls reported fewer women than men are responsible for managing investments. About half said they were confident enough to invest compared to 82 percent of men. Women tended to be more conservative but they often made better investments and earned 12 percent more than men, according to the report. Paddock advised women to participate fully in a company pension plan if one is available. They should maximize contributions to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan and the Tax Free Saving Account that is likely to be increased to $11,000 per year. Less than 40 percent of women contribute to RRSPs each year while more than 60 percent of men do. Budgets should be established and followed to keep track of where the money goes, Paddock said. Overall, Canadians are saving less. Polls found some did well, but 20 percent saved nothing, 30 percent

had some monthly contributions while another 30 percent had less than $10,000 in savings. That is not a large enough cushion to cover a vacation, emergency or retirement, she said. “As a society, we are saving less but we are living longer so give some consideration to that financial plan,” Paddock said. On the farm, the emphasis is building and growing the company with too little importance placed on growing wealth outside the operation, she said. Traditionally people viewed the farm as the retirement plan. The farm is sold or passed on to the next generation with enough money available for retirement for the members exiting the operation. However, farms are getting bigger with more family members involved. At the time of retirement, it may be difficult to offer a fair share to those who want to move on so a personal nest egg outside the operation is wise, she said. Divorce, disability or death should also be considered in dividing farm assets. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

WOMEN AND INVESTING • Women are taking more control of their finances and currently own half of the financial assets in Canada. More than 40 percent consider themselves somewhat knowledgeable about investing and 67 percent have saved for their retirement. • 92 percent of Canadian women are solely or jointly in control of family finances and make spending decisions on everything from clothes to a new car. Of these women, 55 percent say they alone make the daily financial decisions.

Input sought from women on farms, in agribusiness BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A three-year project will survey women in agriculture and seek ways to overcome barriers. The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council will lead the Supporting the Advancement of Women in Agriculture project, which is expected to be completed by December 2017. Portia MacDonald-Dewhirst, the council’s executive director, said the first step is to gather information to better understand the labour market, graduation rates and the participation of women on boards and associations. Researchers want to tap into existing associations and networks to connect with women who work in the industry, understand their experiences and gauge their knowledge of advancement opportunities and leadership training, she said. “We want a really good cross section to really understand what’s happening and identify any barriers to women in leadership roles,” said MacDonald-Dewhirst. Researchers will use interviews, surveys and focus groups to meet with women participating in agriculture in farms, agribusinesses and commodity associations. She hopes best practices and networking opportunities can be identified that can be shared with others along with tools, guides and checklists for women and the associations and businesses with which they work. “We want to provide a place where women can network more and be more connected,” MacDonaldDewhirst said. “We want to increase the participation of women in leadership roles.” For more information, visit www. cahrc-ccrha.ca. karen.morrison@producer.com

HEALTH POLICY

Health coverage in question with provincial move Provincial coverage expires three months after move, leaving a gap in insurance BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A gap in basic health coverage led to some anxious months for an academic starting a new career in Saskatchewan. D a p h n e Ta r a s , d e a n o f t h e Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan, said Saskatchewan Health denied her a health card twice after she moved from Alberta in 2010. She applied as an individual because her husband was continuing to live and work in Alberta. “They said they could not turn on my Saskatchewan Health insurance until it was clear he was not moving, at 12 months, which would effectively leave me without coverage for the better part of a year,” she said. Her health coverage from Alberta expired three months after she moved. Taras said Saskatchewan Health asked to see the married couple’s separation agreement even though she advised that they were not separated, just pursuing careers in different provinces. She was told she would have qualified for a health card within the standard three months after arriving if she was single or divorced. “I thought it odd. I said it was discrimination on the basis of marital status,” said Taras. “I think it’s quite offensive that in a province that created universal health care that I found myself without formal coverage.” Taras said she has colleagues who faced similar challenges with Saskatchewan Health when family arrived at different times because of dual careers, businesses and children in school. “This has got to be fixed if there’s going to be decent in-migration,” she said. “The days are over where one spouse is completely mobile and sacrifices a career.” Taras had bought a home and the university’s group insurance benefits were in place, but she had to wait until the following year to receive a Saskatchewan health card. “I was blessed I was healthy all that time, but I lived with the anxiety of

not knowing who would cover me,” she said. Taras took her concerns to Saskatchewan Health, which stood by its original decision. According to the department, if a person and his family are moving within Canada on the same date, coverage will begin on the first day of the third calendar month following the date that residency was established. The home province covers them until Saskatchewan benefits take effect. If one spouse plans to move within 12 months of the first spouse, Saskatchewan Health begins coverage for both beginning the first day of the third calendar month following the arrival of the second spouse. If the spouse does not arrive within the year, each will be considered individually and coverage will begin at the end of the 12-month period. The second spouse’s coverage will begin the first day of the third calendar month following his arrival. Pat Dean, director of health registries with eHealth Saskatchewan, said the rules are similar in other provinces. “I can’t speak why it is written that way,” she said. “This eligibility rule is across Canada, and that’s why our pamphlets and website says you will be covered by the other province until your coverage comes into effect here.” Dean said those experiencing similar delays or coverage concerns can contact her, the program manager or the ministry, noting there is an appeal process in place. “There’s an entire process of having that looked at,” she said. “If there is no intent to reside here from the other spouse, we may ask for a declaration from the other party.” She said her eligibility department staff is well versed in the rules, each with more than 30 years of experience. “It’s not somebody who doesn’t know the work,” Dean said. Normal turnaround time for processing new cards is 12 days. karen.morrison@producer.com

Sask. beef club wins contest by improving ear tag retention The tags piggyback on rumen magnet, providing a two-for-one benefit BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Abbey-Lancer 4-H Beef Club of Pennant, Sask., has invented a less labour intensive way to keep cattle identification records. For their efforts, members were named the winners of the first ever 4-H Canada science and technology contest. Pam Heller, the club’s general leader, said the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency information normally found on ear tags and mounted onto rumen magnets can be inserted with a bolus gun into the calf’s mouth. “The problem with the CCIA tags is (women and kids) can’t put tags in strong enough or hard enough, and they tend to fall out,” she said. “Whereas if it’s in their stomach, it would never fall out. It would sit there for their life.” A rumen magnet, which is used to prevent deadly hardware disease in cattle, is heavy enough to sit in the bottom of the stomach. “We’re just taking one item and

making it dual purpose,” Heller said. The 15-member club, which includes young people from eight to 20 drawn from a 100 kilometre radius, came up with the idea after brainstorming with parents. Last October, 4-H Canada encouraged youth to submit inventions that would change the world of agriculture. Charlene Elliott of Kitchener, Ont., won the individual category with her Lugano 100, which cleans free-stall cow beds more efficiently and results in a clean barn and greater comfort for dairy cows. It could also help lower the somatic cell count in milk, which is a quality indicator. The second place winner was Isaac Boonstoppel of Scotchlake, N.B., for a dairy stall cleaner. The club and individual winners each receive a $750 gift card provided by Dalhousie University’s agriculture college, with those placing second receiving $250.

HARDWARE DISEASE? Cow magnets are widely used by ranchers and dairy farmers to help prevent bovine traumatic reticuloperitonitis, commonly called hardware disease. While grazing, cows eat everything from grass to nails, twine and wire. If metal objects lodge in the walls of the animal’s recticulum, surrounding organs are irritated and inflamed. Cattle lose their appetite and stop gaining weight. In dairy cows, milk output is decreased. Cow magnets help prevent this condition by attracting stray metal and preventing it from puncturing the rumen and recticulum. Source: www.allmagnets.com

LOOKING BACK

Horses form farm’s backbone from seeding to harvest Increasing horsepower meant hitching up more animals BY BOB PATMORE FREELANCE WRITER

Horses provided the main muscle power on the farm before Randal Donnelly got a Case tractor with rubber tires in 1938. His son, Ernie, was born in 1915 near Indian Head, Sask., where the family farmed three quarter sections. As a child, he grew into farm work and working with horses. Spring land work began in midApril to get wheat seeded by the first week in May. Barley and oats followed. Wheat was the cash crop, barley was used for stock feed and most of the oats were for the horses. The Donnellys would get on the field by 7 a.m. Randal had a half section of pasture land for the stock where he used a pony to round up the horses and put the ones to be worked in the corral. If needed, the family fed them to get them through the morning. Harnessing field teams was simple, because no britchen (breeching) was needed to hold back when going downhill. First they put on the collar, which fastened with a buckle at the top. Then came the hames, which buckled on at the bottom of the collar. The tugs or traces were attached, one on each side of the hames. The rest of the harness came next, including back pad and bellyband. Lastly, Randal put on the bridles and side snaps to fasten each horse to its neighbour. The reins to control and direct the team were attached, one on each side of the outer horses. The Donnellys stopped fieldwork for an hour and a half at noon to feed and water the horses and have a rest. If a horse was unhappy, he sometimes would raise his head up suddenly and viciously to object to any procedure. Horses seldom objected but did

react to anything that scared them. There was also the occasional runaway. In an emergency such as a severe storm, the crew would pull the pin on the doubletrees and eveners and let the horses go to the barn on their own. If using a 28 run seed drill, it was usually pulled by six horses or a tractor in later years. The drill had two poles, which went between the horses and held up the front of the heavy seeder. When seeding wheat, the drill was set to sow a bushel and a peck or 1 1/4 bushels to the acre. Randal would haul the seed wheat by sleigh to the elevator to be cleaned in the winter. Years ago, a liquid formaldehyde, was used and mixed through the wheat by hand. The first dry seed treatment, Ceresan, appeared in the 1930s and was also mixed by hand, being careful not to breathe its dust. Four horses pulled the disc. It had a number of discs, with each set mounted on an axle and used for summerfallow, breaking or plowed land. Eight horses were needed to pull the two wheeled field cultivator that was used on summerfallow. It was large, long and hard to pull and was popularly known at the horse killer. Spring plowing was done with five horses on a two bottom plow. Before the land could be seeded, it had to be harrowed with six sections of diamond harrows on a drawbar pulled by four horses. If a harrow cart was used, a person could ride and five horses were used. Without a harrow cart, workers walked or rode a horse behind the harrows but a smart horse was needed that would avoid stepping in the harrows. The plow had two bottoms or moldboards, which turned the land over as it was plowed. Shares, pronounced

shears, had to be sharpened often by a blacksmith so they would shear the sod as it went. When plowing, Randal first plowed light furrows at each end to mark the place where he pulled the plow out of the ground. The resulting space where it turned around in the field was called a headland, and that was plowed last. You started by plowing a dead furrow in the middle, so that all the land was plowed. Because the plow only plowed 28 inches wide at each pass, it was a slow business. After the plowing, harrowing and seeding, the Donnellys had to harrow again to seal the seed into the ground and encourage the subsoil moisture to reach up to the seed. Later, when the crop was ripening well, the binder and binder twine were prepared. The binder was pulled by four horses. Two of those horses would be willing workers, while the other two would often be reluctant so Randal put the willing horses on the inside next to the crop. The two that did not do their share were placed on the right side, where

a whip could reach them. Binder twine was in a box that was round and had two holes in it where the wrens used to nest in summer. The binder was fairly hard to pull, and even worse for the horses on hot days. The binder left rows of sheaves, about four at a time dropped by the carrier. The men who were stooking came after and put the sheaves in stooks of eight each.

Indian Head, Sask., was a good wheat growing area, with 14 elevators in 1905. In the early years, Red Fife wheat was grown, followed by Marquis and in 1936, Thatcher wheat, a rust resistant variety. Combines came along in the late 1930s, greatly reducing the amount of human labour and horse power needed on prairie farms.

Goat-cattle combo allows producers to weather storms Goats clear the brush, allowing grass to grow for the Speckle Park herd BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDGERTON, Alta. — Like most busy people, Laurie and Shay Fries are used to taking on more work. With 160 goats, cattle, three children, hockey, ball, 4-H and two offfarm jobs, they recently added 30 Speckle Park heifers on a share program. In addition, there is Laurie’s work as president of the Alberta Goat Association and her work on national and provincial biosecurity, animal health and animal welfare committees. “If you want to change an industry, you have to get involved,” said Laurie. The couple believes there is a strong future in the goat industry, especially as part of goat-beef herd combination. “If you’ve got a goat, it’s sold. There is no lack of consumers,” said Laurie,

whose goal is to see fresh goat meat in Canadian grocery stores. In 2002, the couple bought land in Edgerton, Alta., and 100 bred cows. Despite the 2002 drought, they had connections in Saskatchewan and bought frost-killed feed. Then came BSE. “We were just getting started. We were newly married. We had just bought the farm. We had no money,” said Laurie. Goats helped a friend out of a financial hole when chronic wasting disease devastated the elk industry. When they heard her story, the Fries became intrigued. They bought 17 goats at Tofield Auction for “next to nothing,” said Shay. “The goats pulled us through,” he said. “We needed to do something to supplement the income,” added Laurie.

Do you agree that by keeping money on the farm, aggressively managing farm input costs builds local communities?

Not only did the goats help pay the cattle bills during BSE, the goats helped clear the brush and allowed more grass to grow for the cattle. The goats ate the brush growing through the junk left in the farmyard by the previous owner. Eventually the Frieses hauled 17 tonnes of scrap metal from the yard. With little inexpensive land for sale in the area, the family believes the combination of goats and cattle will help better use their existing land base, a quarter section around their current house and three quarters of land near Shay’s parents, Albert and Gail. Without good statistics on the number of goats in Canada, it is difficult to gauge the growth of the industry. Ontario has the largest goat herd, followed by Quebec and Alberta. The latest Alberta Agriculture premise identification report shows 900 people reported goats on their premises in the province. To help promote their herd, the family travels to Canadian Western Agribition’s goat show and other events. “We’re getting noticed. I like promoting the industry any way we can,” said Laurie, whose goal is to expand their goat herd to 350 animals. “They’re addictive little things.” The combination of easy going, low-maintenance Speckle Park cattle and goats creates a nice income. Laurie, who grew up on a grain and pork farm at Muenster, Sask., works at Sunhaven Farms, a multi-family pork business. “I enjoy what I do so I don’t want to give that up,” she said. Shay works for Talisman Energy and his income in the oil and gas business allows the family to weather the swings in the livestock business. mary.macarthur@producer.com

he days are longer, the weather is warmer and a new growing season approaches. A mealtime salad that would not have satisfied in January is now what we crave. In spring, one of the busiest times of the year, I always pull out the slow cooker for roasting meat. Nutritious, tasty options are a must to accommodate the varied hours the family is keeping. Here are three main course meat options.

SAUCY SLOW COOKER RIBS 4 lb. pork back ribs 1.8 kg seasoning salt, pepper and Montreal chicken spice to taste 1 large finely sliced onion 1 sliced yellow pepper 1/4 c. flour 60 mL 1 c. chicken and 250 mL rib barbecue sauce or sauce of your choice 2 tbsp. honey 30 mL 1 tbsp. soya sauce 15 mL Cut ribs into small sections. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning salt, pepper and Montreal Chicken Spice, then brown in the oven. Once browned, place in the slow cooker and place the onion and pepper over the meat. Mix the flour, barbecue sauce, honey and soya sauce together and spread over the top of the meat and onions. Cook on low for six to eight hours or on high for three to four. Serves four. These ribs are delicious served cold as leftovers. Source: adapted from Kraft Canada.

SLOW COOKER MUSHROOM BEEF 3 lb. 1/2 tsp. 1/2 tsp. 2 tbsp. 2 cloves 1 tsp. 2 tbsp. 2 tsp. 2 tbsp. 1 4 3 tbsp.

beef roast 1.4 kg salt 2 mL pepper 2 mL oil 30 mL garlic, minced oregano 5 mL ketchup 30 mL Worcestershire 10 mL sauce beer 30 mL onion, chopped chopped fresh mushrooms seasoning salt flour 45 mL

Season the beef with salt and pepper. Wrap beef in foil leaving the top open, making sure that the sides and bottom are sealed. Mix the oil, garlic, oregano, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and beer together and pour over the roast. Add the onion and chopped mushrooms on top of the roast and sprinkle with seasoning salt. Close the foil tightly and place in a slow cooker with water in the bottom for moisture. Slow cook on low for five to seven hours. When roasting is complete, according to a meat thermometer, carefully remove the foil letting the juices run into the bottom of the crock. Remove the beef to rest, meanwhile combine the flour with approximately 1/4 cup (60 mL) of water, whisk into remaining roasting juices to make gravy if desired. Slice and serve meat immediately or place back into the prepared juices to simmer. Serves four.

RASHES, LESIONS

Morgellon’s disease considered a psychiatric condition HEALTH CLINIC

condition. Can you tell us more about it? Is it life threatening?

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

Itching may be caused by allergy to soap or lotions

Morgellon’s disease has been in the news recently due to singer Joni Mitchell saying that she has it. I understand it is a rare skin

Morgellon’s disease presents as lesions in the skin such as rashes and open sores due to picking and scratching, but most doctors regard it as a psychiatric condition. It is not dangerous or life threatening, but can be unpleasant for the sufferer. A person with this condition is convinced in a delusional manner that there are parasites or bugs living under the skin and fine strings, fibres or dead insect parts that must be picked at and pulled out. Researchers at the U.S. based Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion studied the illness and found these fibres to be cellulose, most likely from cotton. They found no evidence of any kinds of infestation. This is a rare syndrome, occurring mainly in middle-aged white women. The name Morgellon was coined in 2002 by Mary Leitao, who started the Morgellon’s Research Foundation, which is made up of self-diagnosed patients who put pressure on the CDC to do research. I had a patient who had this many years ago, but at the time there was no name or treatment for the disorder. I thought it was a type of delusional illness with hallucinations and treated the patient with anti-psychotic medications or tranquilizers.

She improved, but was never convinced her problem had a psychiatric origin and did not want to take pills. Hallucinations are not just auditory or visual and can be somatic or abnormal sensations in the body. There is a similar, related condition known as delusional parasitosis. Treatment is still low dosage antipsychotics. Newer drugs, such as olanzipine and risperidone that are also used for treating schizophrenia in larger doses, are effective in controlling the symptoms. People with Morgellon’s sometimes give up on conventional medicine and turn to self-help drugs and alternative treatments that can be danger-

ous. These range from household bleach to veterinary dewormers. Some sufferers believe Morgellon’s syndrome is a skin disease. That may be because there is a skin condition that has not been properly diagnosed. A possible cause is an allergic reaction to soap, shampoo or laundry detergent. There are also some medical conditions that cause severe itching including diabetic neuropathy and liver disease. If you think you have Morgellon’s disease, consult your doctor. Ask for a referral to a psychiatrist or dermatologist and avoid alternative treatments. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

DAIRY PROGRAM

Alberta Milk extends new farmer quota repayment plan Producers will now get 10 years to buy loaned quota instead of seven BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Merein and Kelsey Van Benthem believe they would not have been able to start farming without Alberta Milk’s quota loan program. They’re also convinced that the most recent changes will ensure their success as dairy farmers. “We feel pretty confident now we will succeed as farmers,” said Kelsey. The couple from Spruce View, Alta., struck out on their own three years ago with a dream to run a dairy farm. They bought their own farm with the help of the New Entrant Assistance Program, which Alberta Milk created in 2011. The program loans quota to new dairy farmers to help ease the burden of one of the major expenses in starting a new farm. Twelve new dairy farmers have started operating in the province since the program began. “We had quite a few brand new farmers, and they just wanted to be dairy farmers,” said Karlee Conway, communications manager with Alberta Milk. The program is based on a 2:1 ratio of loaned to purchased quota to a maximum of 25 kilograms per day at

no cost to the new entrant, which will provide enough quota to milk 20 to 25 cows. The original program loaned a maximum of 15 kg per day. The most recent changes also give farmers 10 years to buy the loaned quota instead of seven in an effort to ease the financial burden. “They were struggling a bit,” Conway said. “All farming is expensive.” The Van Benthems say the changes have allowed them to begin buying more quota. They now have 15 kg of loaned quota and the rest is leased from other farmers for their 50 milking cows. The goal is to have 70 kg of quota in 10 years, which is the maximum allowed under the new entrant program. “We’re now hoping in the next year to purchase more quota and won’t have to lease as much,” Kelsey said. They eventually want to double their herd so that they can milk 100 cows. April’s closing price for quota was $38,330 per kg of butterfat. Conway said the average new entrant has 40 cows, and the program changes will allow them to increase their herd by 20 to 25 cows. The average herd in Alberta is

encourage new farmers rather than act as a succession plan for existing producers. Alberta Milk set aside the loaned quota rather than taking it from exist-

ing dairy farmers. New dairy farmers can apply to the program until June 30.

GRAPE PRODUCTION

Ontario wine industry takes weather hit Cold temperatures this winter damaged vines, but the full extent of the damage wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be known until late April and early May BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine grape growers are bracing themselves for bad news as extreme low temperatures last winter reduced yield potential. Vineyard temperatures fell to as low as - 26 C in the Niagara Peninsula, Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest growing region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a low of - 21 C here at our vineyard,â&#x20AC;? said Paul Bosc at ChĂ˘teau des Charmes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once you get to - 20, every degree lower than that is exponentially worse.â&#x20AC;?

Bosc is cautiously optimistic. Wind machines at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250 acres of vineyards help mediate cold temperature threats throughout winter and early spring by pulling air down from higher elevations, where temperatures tend to be a few degrees warmer. However, other growers will not be as fortunate. Bosc said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been talk among growers that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yields may be down to 25,000 to 30,000 tonnes. Ontario growers harvested more than 80,000 tonnes of grapes two years ago, which was a bumper har-

vest worth more than $100 million at the farmgate. Yields fell to 50,552 tonnes last year, also because of winter damage. The full extent of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s damage will not be known until the vines bud in late April and early May. Growers have already taken yield estimates by counting viable buds. Buds that are black inside a week after extremely cold temperatures wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce grapes. A small amount of green means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bud counts are an indication of how bad the situation might possibly be,â&#x20AC;? Bosc said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must say that we were pleasantly surprised with our counts.â&#x20AC;? Grape Growers of Ontario chief executive officer Debbie Zimmerman said a 65,000 tonne harvest is average for the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a much smaller crop than what we would have over the course of an average year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to over-react until we really see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.â&#x20AC;? Zimmerman said growers in the Niagara region may have fared the best this year, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to tell in Prince Edward County along Lake Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern shore, where many of the vines are buried. Southwestern Ontario, including Essex County, has been hit hardest, she said.

SASKATCHEWAN PLANT BREEDING

Research focuses on rust resistant wheat FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR The Western Producer takes a weeklylookat someof thestories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: APRIL 18, 1940 Spring thaw in the Alberta foothills brought a rush of ice floes down the Red Deer River and forced more than 1,000 people from their homes. Flood conditions were the worst in 25 years.

ister and more like Peter Pocklington, the owner of Gainers Inc., who defaulted on a government loan and saw the provincial government seize his packing plant.

head of Alberta Agriculture’s agriprocessing branch, was ringing alarm bells. He wondered what would happen to all those plants when the U.S. border finally opened.

Auditor-general Ken Dye said the federal government would possibly have to take a multibillion-dollar loss to remove a large and growing uncollectable Polish debt from the Canadian Wheat Board’s books.

In what was considered an unusual public criticism, Western Grain Elevators Association executive director Wade Sobkowich said the railways were missing their delivery schedules 30 to 40 percent of the time. Canadian National Railway executive vice-president Ed Harris said the railway was doing a “solid job” of meeting shipping orders for grain.

What’s better than maximizing yield potential and quality?

A Canadian press dispatch quoting an unnamed government official started a rumour that the Canadian government was considering taking over the country’s entire wheat marketing system. The decision was to have been the result of the German invasion of Norway, which cost Canada two of its wheat customers: Norway and Denmark. However, a later dispatch from a special correspondent contradicted the rumour.

( A really nice place to brag about it.)

An article praised the efforts of Canadian plant breeders to develop new varieties of rust resistant wheat, particularly Apex, Thatcher, Renown and Regent. Apex, which was developed at the University of Saskatchewan, was expected to cover five percent of Saskatchewan’s wheat acreage in 1940.

An economics professor from England told a meeting in Saskatoon that a producer marketing board would require compulsory powers to control the supply of a commodity through the whole area of operation if it was to achieve its aim of increasing farm income. A two page special feature in the issue’s magazine section asked the question: “Will Adequate Water Supplies be Found for Our Future Needs?” It ended with these lines: “What will our needs be? Which will serve our interests best? These are crucial questions which must be answered now if we are to attain the height of achievement which it is known our country and people are capable.”

25 YEARS AGO: APRIL 19, 1990 Alberta agriculture minister Ernie Isley riled up the province’s hog producers when he appeared at their annual meeting. The industry was in turmoil because of problems at the province’s two packing plants, countervail action by the United States and a controversial new hog pricing formula. One producer said Isley sounded less like an agriculture min-

Researcher examines obstacles to ag innovation University of Saskatchewan professor tries to explain economic benefits of technology on food production, safety and trade BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Stuart Smyth wears a few hats: university professor, researcher and, most recently, blogger. Smyth has launched a website, saifood.ca, in which he tackles hot button issues in the agriculture sector. Think genetically modified flax, rising chemical use on prairie farms and new crop trait approvals. A recent post about A & W’s “better beef ” campaign, which promotes products that contain no added hormones or steroids, quickly drew 12,000 views. The headline read: How A&W supports unsustainable agriculture. “The idea behind the blog was to try and do a better job of unpacking some of technical things we write about at an academic level that we’ll share amongst academics or with colleagues in government or industry and try and take the technical aspect out of the story and then reproduce the story in a writing style that the average person who gets emailed this can really understand in two or three minutes of reading,” said Smyth, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s bioresource policy, business and economics department. Smyth’s research addresses new technologies in agriculture and their impact on crop production, food safety, product approvals and international trade. It’s this policy work that attracted the interest of agriculture’s private sector, which began funding a research chair at the university helmed by Smyth. The five-year program is supported by Bayer CropScience, CropLife Canada, Monsanto, Syngenta and the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission. He said it’s the first industry funded research position in a social science at a Canadian university. “What we want to try and do is generate some economic and environment numbers that the agriculture industry as a whole, not just the companies that I work for … can take and say, ‘here is the benefit of investing in commodity agriculture. We can contribute to global food security by doing these things,’ ” said Smyth. “Right now, the regulation around crop technologies is becoming a bottleneck in the innovation system. We do a really great job of basic (research and development) in Canada. We do a fantastic job of getting the science and the agronomic aspects of new crop varieties developed and submitted to our regulators, but the regulatory portion of an innovation is increasing in time and as a percentage of the overall amount of time it takes a product to go from initial genomic concept through to being available for anybody to plant and consume.” Among the projects Smyth’s team will take on is a continuation of farm

At the time, genetically modified, herbicide tolerant canola had been in Canadian fields for a decade, bringing more acres out of summerfallow and increasing crop production. His research found that most farmers growing herbicide tolerant canola reported reduced soil erosion and increased moisture conservation from no-till practices.

do a good job on was capturing the greenhouse gas emissions and also the carbon offsets,” he said. “We think that there’s a substantial story to be told in terms of how farmers are contributing to reducing carbon emissions.” Other projects will assess global regulations and trade barriers and the rising influence of “socio-economic considerations” from concerned consumers. “You certainly see that within the European system because in terms of biotechnology, they’ve allowed the approval of one new variety in a

WORLD HEALTH DAY

Canada’s food safety system praised for quality assurance, product controls BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

IN 2014, MUNG BEAN SPROUTS CAUSED

126 cases of salmonella IN GERMANY AND THE NETHERLANDS

As a United Nations organization put a spotlight on global food safety issues, a Saskatchewan-based researcher had high praise for Canada’s system of checks and balances. The World Health Organization used its annual World Health Day last week to focus on issues of foodborne illnesses and safety risks in global supply chains that ship meat and livestock, fruits and vegetables and bulk commodities around the world.

The UN agency released findings from an upcoming study that found 582 million cases food-borne illnesses in 2010, which resulted in 351,000 deaths. Salmonella, E. coli and norovirus were the most common of the 22 food-borne illnesses reported. “Canada has one of the top, if not the top, food safety systems in the world. Other countries look to our regulatory system as a model of food safety,” said Stuart Smyth, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan’s bioresource policy, business and economics department.

“Many developing countries just don’t have the fiscal resources to have the level of quality and control that we do in Canada to ensure that the food products that are available for purchase in our grocery stores are as safe as they possibly can be.” Smyth’s assessment mirrors that of a 2014 Conference Board of Canada report, which ranked Canada’s food safety performance first among 17 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The report, which surveyed the country’s ability to assess, control and mitigate risks, cited a low number of reported food-borne illnesses and recalls as a reason for the top billing. It also recommended the country improve monitoring with more frequent dietary intake surveys. Smyth said a regular food safety issue in Canada is related to organic foods. “Thousands of cases a year of food illness are triggered from organic products. It’s largely due to the process of them using manure slurry as fer tilizer and coming dow n to improper household food preparations in terms of making sure that they’re properly washing organic food.” The WHO study found illnesses were most common in Africa and Southeast Asia. The organization is calling for strengthened food safety regulations and improved communication during emergencies. “A local food safety problem can rapidly become an international emergency,” WHO director general Margaret Chan said in a news re-lease. A Canadian initiative, dubbed the Food Safety Information Network, seeks to improve communication and response time from federal and provincial laboratories and regulators. The effort is funded by $30.7 million in federal funds. “Absolutely no system is immune to issues that do challenge it. Certainly we’ve seen a couple of those in the last few months and in the last few years,” said Smyth, referring to a recent BSE case in Alberta and bird flu cases in Canada and the United States. “I think grounding it in a science based framework is the cornerstone for all food safety systems.” In those cases, farms have been quarantined and movement restricted. Canada has faced export restrictions because of the incidents but also implemented its own on imports. Smyth’s research focuses on the plant sector, biotechnology and regulations. There are fewer food safety concerns in bulk commodities, but consumers are worried about genetically modified food. “Ethics is a very nebulous issue,” said Smyth. “You can’t boil it down to saying two out of a million people say this is safe or it’s not safe. Where within a science-based system you can definitely say that at two parts per million or five parts per billion consuming this product at that level is safe for consumers?” dan.yates@producer.com

REGISTRATION APPROVALS

Regulatory bodies insist corporate research OK Pesticide makers conduct much of the research into product safety, which is fueling consumer worries about reliability BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A blog posting on the Natural Resources Defense Council website summarizes why environmental groups distrust pesticide registration approvals. The blogger, Jennifer Sass, said the process lacks credibility because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reviews data provided by the crop protection industry. She calls the safety data is “restrictive,” “biased” and often “outdated” because the practices that generated the data is based on “industry science.” It’s also a common skepticism expressed in the comments sections beneath news stories on many media websites. Following a recent World Health Organization decision to classify glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans, the conflicting views once again were thrust into the spotlight. The decision contradicts findings from many regulatory agencies around the world, which have consistently concluded that glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and the world’s most popular herbicide, isn’t a risk to human health. Keith Solomon, a University of Guelph toxicologist who has expressed reservations about the WHO decision, said corporations conduct the safety testing because it saves taxpayers money. “The idea here is that the companies who make the profits – not the taxpayers – should be paying to test the products,” Solomon told Northern Woodlands magazine. “This is the same framework that’s used in pharmaceutical testing because it provides a dependable funding source for the testing.” Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which oversees pesticide registrations in Canada, says several safeguards are in place to ensure that companies provide trustworthy data on the human health and environmental affects of a pesticide. “The studies … must be conducted in compliance with internationally accepted study protocols and good

Government agencies say safeguards are in place to ensure industry studies are done properly. | laboratory practice (GLP). In addition, the laboratories are subject to independent audits to ensure their reliability,” says a statement on the PMRA website. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development developed GLP standards to manage health and environmental safety studies for chemical substances. OECD countries recognize and accept studies that adhere to GLP requirements. In Canada, the Standards Council of Canada administers the requirements for GLP. James Bus, senior managing scientist for toxicology and mechanistic biology with Exponent, a U.S. scientific consulting firm, said the audits that review testing procedures are stringent. “Having spent a good portion of my career in an industry GLP testing facility (Dow Chemical Co.), I can state it was common practice for EPA to conduct unannounced inspections of the lab. A key part of those inspections is a request by the agency to review the study records of a randomly selected study,” he said in an email.

Do you agree that farmers should have strategies to reduce the impact on their farm of excess supply chain margins?

“If GLP deviations are found, the inspectors have the prerogative to shut the facility down…. Very severe violations can also result in civil or even criminal actions against the lab and its technical leaders.”

Bus said GLP studies on pesticide safety are often several hundred pages long. “They are required to present all data collected on individual animals and a detailed history of key operat-

ing lab and experimental conditions during the test,” he said. “Interestingly, studies coming from university-based research generally do not operate under GLP due the added administrative and logistic cost burdens with operating in this system.” In addition to the GLP standards, corporations applying for a pesticide registration don’t control the process. Bus said regulatory agencies d e c i d e w h a t e x p e r i m e n t s a re required to support a registration. “There are well over 100 required tests, costing approximately $10 million and multiple years to complete,” he said. “Industry does not have a choice in what tests to conduct. The test plans are proscribed by the regulatory agencies.” Pesticide registration critics say the process isn’t transparent because the company-generated data and related studies are not published. Bus said there is good reason for that. “If they were fully public, other companies could ultimately use those studies (costing millions of dollars to complete) to establish competing registrations once patent-protections have expired.” robert.arnason@producer.com

INCREASED PRODUCTION

Enhanced biology behind 300 bushel corn Biologist says grower’s no-till method may have improved soil structure and left soil microbes undisturbed BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — The future has arrived at Dean Glenney’s southwestern Ontario farm. He routinely harvests 300 bushels of corn an acre, which is double the average for North America and on par with what the seed industry hopes to achieve by 2030 with improved genetics. “We already have the capacity with current cultivars to get there,” said George Lazarovits, research director with A&L Biologicals. “It’s the soil factor, the microbiology factor, that’s making a huge difference at Glenney’s farm.” The company hopes to unravel the biology behind the Haldimand County farmer’s impressive yields. It recently received $1.19 million through the federal government’s AgriInnovation program to support the investigation. Glenney’s original idea was to mimic soil conditions found along fence rows that have never been cropped. He maintains a corn-soybean, no-till rotation with fertilizer inputs similar to those of other farmers in the area. The crops are planted in alternating strips in eight-inch, twin rows on 30-inch centres. The corn is planted directly into the previous year’s soybean rows and the soybeans into the corn rows.

microbial community largely undisturbed. Lazarovits has been working with other Haldimand County farmers to assess microbial differences between high-yield and low-yield field locations and compare their fields with Glenney’s farm. “One of our hopes is this will eventually give growers another measurement they can use, a biological measurement,” he said. Farmers can readily measure their soil’s chemical and physical qualities, but there’s little in the way of

biological analysis for factors that increase yield. Farmers who can assess changes to their soil biology and better understand how microbial communities support plant growth will be able to adjust such practices as crop rotation, he said. There may also be an opportunity to develop soil inoculants. Pseudomonas florescens bacteria are commercially available in the United States, and inoculants that increase legume yields through improved nitrogen fixation have been

around for more than a century. A&L is also looking to increase corn yields at Glenney’s farms to 400 bu.

$1.19 million Lazarovits said he learned after meeting Glenney at a Montreal conference that it took five years for the cropping technique to produce the dramatic increase in yield. That was the time it took for the necessary biological community to become established, he added. An investigation into the biology turned up a surprising result. “Everyone says diversity is important: the more diverse the microbes the more the plants will thrive. That’s not what we found with Dean’s soil and plants. We found there was less microbiology diversity,” he said. One or more biological factors may come into play in increasing Glenney’s corn yields. It could be related to nitrogen-fixing enzymes, the production of growth hormones and/or the release of chemicals that suppress disease. Greg Gloor of Western University in London, Ont., has been brought on board to trace RNA messengers that may be involved. Lazarovits said pseudomonas fluorescens bacteria could have a role. They’re known to provide protection from fungal disease. He said the evidence points to changes within microbial community as the likely cause of the high corn yields, but there are other contributing factors, such as Glenney’s no-till approach, which has improved soil structure and left the

plant the trees,” Bozic said. “They will greatly miss the PFRA (Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration) shelter belt program. No question about that. Everybody I talk with says we should have kept the program, but I guess it is what it is.” He talked about shelter belt planting and rejuvenation April 7 in Nobleford at an event hosted by Lethbridge County and the Nobleford Agricultural Society. Bozic said many Alberta rural municipalities have programs through which they can order trees and shrubs for ratepayers and obtain better prices for large orders. Trees and shrubs for shelter belts are no longer available for free, but there is an opportunity for cost savings through the federal-provincial Growing Forward 2 program, said Lethbridge County extension specialist Dwayne Rogness. The program can cover 50 to 70 percent of costs related to shelter belt establishment, depending on the project. However, it applies only to field shelter belts and not farmsteads. Bozic and tree expert Pieter Van Der Schoot of the Mycological Society of Alberta took about 20 people to a farmstead shelter belt near Nobleford last week and pointed out its attributes. When planting a new shelter belt, they recommend using more than one row of trees and planting a variety of species. “Be creative, and I can’t stress enough, plant as many varieties as you can. Having different species really brings stability to the whole yard,” said Bozic. Variety will ensure no single pest or disease will wipe out the entire shelter belt and will also attract a variety of wildlife, insects and birds. As well, different tree and shrub species have different lifespans, so variety will add overall longevity to the shelter belt. “Trees are quite resilient. The more you plant, the better.” Bozic advised a gradual approach rather than complete removal when rejuvenating existing shelter belts. “Develop a plan over three or four or five or even 10 years,” he said. “Go in stages. Don’t try to remove everything at once and start from scratch.” Bozic said a certain number of dead trees can also be retained, as long as they don’t present a threat to safety around buildings and people. Dead trees provide habitat for beneficial birds and insects, he added. He said salt and chemical spray drift is the most frequent killer of shelter belts. Few are killed by insects or disease, so producers should not be in a hurry to address those issues in their trees. Shelter belts can be taken for granted once established, said Bozic, but some attention is recommended. “Once in a while, just pass by, sometimes just for relaxation,” he said. Observe changes to leaf or needle colour and weed presence so that action can be taken before shelter belt health is affected. barb.glen@producer.com

Gophers give birth to one litter per year, producing up to eight young. |

RODENT CONTROL

Gophers sleep, breed, reproduce; cause problems for producers The species leaves holes in fields creating a nuisance for farmers BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Control of Richardson’s ground squirrels is ideally done in early spring before mating, but that opportunity might already be past. Many of the rodents, commonly referred to as gophers by prairie farmers, have already emerged from their burrows and mated. Gail Michener, a biology professor emeritus at the University of Lethbridge, described the species’ mating habits April 7 in a talk organized by the Alberta Wildlife Society in Lethbridge. Juvenile female gophers will mate within three or four days of emerging from hibernation. Females are in estrus for only two hours of a single afternoon, so there is intense competition among males to find receptive females on any given day. Twenty-three days after breeding, the females give birth to their one lit-

ter of the year, with five to eight young. Newborns weigh about seven grams at birth but increase to 70 grams by the time they emerge 30 days later. Only 12 percent of males survive to become adults. Fighting during mating and predation add up to high mortality. In contrast, 30 percent of females survive to adulthood and then have a 50 percent chance of surviving for a second year. Michener, who studied gophers for 30 years, said the oldest female she encountered lived to be seven. Adult males go into hibernation by June and females by July. After that, it’s the juveniles that are seen on the prairie. They are the bane of farmers in large numbers because they dig holes and eat crops. Control measures include shooting, trapping, strychnine and underground asphyxiation using gas. The species has undergone several

changes to its Latin name, and as of 2009 is known in scientific circles as Urocitellus richardsonii. It was originally labeled Arctomys richardsonii, after British scientists identified specimens collected by surgeon naturalist John Richardson. Richardson sailed with the first and second Franklin expeditions that were launched to find the Northwest Passage through the Arctic. He encountered the ground squirrels when the expedition sailed into Hudson’s Bay in 1819 and then travelled through part of the Prairies to reach the Arctic.

• A taxonomic revision in 2009 recognizes 26 species of North America ground squirrels. The six species found in Canada are: • Arctic • Columbian • Franklin’s • golden-mantled • Richardson’s • thirteen-lined ground squirrel • The ground-dwelling species with the most similar appearance to Richardson’s ground squirrels are the Wyoming ground squirrel (Urocitellus elegans) and the black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus). • The similarity in appearance between Wyoming ground squirrels (Urocitellus elegans) and Richardson’s ground squirrels is so great that for years the Wyoming ground squirrel was considered to be a subspecies of the Richardson’s ground squirrel. However, genetic evidence,

including a difference in numbers of chromosomes, justifies classification as a separate species. The Wyoming ground squirrel occurs in three distinct non-contiguous locations in the U.S., primarily in Montana/Idaho, Wyoming/Colorado, and Nevada. • Black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) are almost twice the size of Richardson’s ground squirrels, with a chunkier body, heavier limbs and broader face. They live in complex family units called coteries, which communally defend a common territory and burrow system. Black-tailed prairie dogs construct large volcano-like mounds, and they use the snout to pack the soil above the entrance, leaving conspicuous nose imprints. Richardson’s ground squirrels simply discard excavated soil into a loose mound. • Columbian ground squirrel (Urocitellus columbianus) overlaps ranges with the geographic

ranges of Richardson’s ground squirrels in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, so both species are sometimes seen in proximity. Columbian ground squirrels are about 50 percent larger than Richardson’s ground squirrels and they have more colourful pelage, with flecked fur and a rufous snout. • Northern pocket gophers (Thomomys talpoides) are members of the rodent family Geomyidae, so are only distantly related to ground squirrels in the rodent family Sciuridae. Terminological confusion arises because many species of ground squirrels are colloquially called gophers, even though they are not true gophers. In regions where ground squirrels are called gophers, which includes much of the Canadian Prairies, the true pocket gophers are often colloquially called moles, adding to the confusion.

DISRUPTS SUPPLY

Bird flu continues to spread across Canada, U.S. Canada has restricted poultry imports from several states; importing broiler hatching eggs has become a ‘logistic headache’ BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An outbreak of avian influenza continued its spread last week with new cases reported in Canada and the United States. Canadian officials reported the disease’s appearance April 6 on a turkey farm near Woodstock, Ont. It was later confirmed to be the same deadly H5N2 strain that appeared in British Columbia in December and across several U.S. states in recent months, disrupting trade and challenging the flow of hatching eggs and breeders into Western Canada. “The more outbreaks there are, the more strain it puts on human resources and so we’ve been working through that,” said Robin Horel, president of the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council. “Currently, we have some states that we can’t trans-ship through at all, which is causing us some grief in Western Canada.” In Minnesota, the appearance of H5N2 in a flock of 310,000 turkeys last week was the ninth in a matter of weeks. It’s one of several states from which Canada has restr icted poultr y imports. The list also includes Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri, Minnesota, California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, following cases in those jurisdictions. The appearance of the disease in Arkansas last month drew concern from Canadian producers. The state is a key source of broiler hatching eggs and breeders. As many as 20 percent of the broiler hatching eggs in the country arrive from the United States. “To my knowledge, and I think I would know if there were, there have been no supply interruptions,” said Horel. “We’ve been able to work our way through that. It’s just been a bit more of a logistics headache, that’s all.” Horel said the control zone in Arkansas was quickly shrunk to two counties, allowing business to resume, but subsequent restrictions on northern U.S. states are creating a logistical problem for western Canadian operations. “You’re starting to get a bit of a roadblock there to try to get to Saskatchewan or Manitoba,” said Horel. He said products are being rerouted to come into Canada from Ontario or B.C. and transported to the prairie provinces. Wayne Hiltz, executive director of Manitoba Chicken Producers, said shipments were coming in from Ontario before the outbreak in that province. Speaking late last week, he said those deliveries have stopped until the Ontario control zone shrinks. “This week we’ve started to get a couple shortages on some placements because of it,” he said. “This is the first effect from the broiler side of it for us.” The size of broiler hatching egg shipments would make flying them too costly, said Horel, but it could be an option for breeder supply. Hiltz said there have been discussions about chartering planes. “In our province, we generally don’t import a lot of day-old chicks,

but that has become an option that some of the hatcheries are considering as a way of managing the issues on the import eggs,” he said. “Hatcheries are definitely having to commit some significant resources to this issue.” More than 10,000 birds died on the infected farm in Ontario, and eight nearby farms have been quarantined to prevent potential spread of the disease. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported that Hong Kong, Uruguay, Japan and Taiwan placed trade restrictions on some Canadian

poultry products. “It will, as it did in B.C., undoubtedly result in restrictions,” said Horel. “Some countries we know from history will restrict all of the entire country, which makes no sense, but that’s

what they’ll do. Some will restrict a smaller zone. Some will restrict a province.… We have to make sure we’ve protected the poultry, for sure, from the disease, but then over and above that we’d like commerce to

carry on if at all possible. The smaller the zone the better.” Horel said April 9 that U.S. and European Union officials had yet to announce trade restrictions. “The two-way trade is big with the U.S, the EU,” he said. “Some of the bigger ones are pending. Those will be the ones that are more important.” The U.S. Department of Agriculture believes migratory ducks are responsible for spreading this particular strain of the disease. dan.yates@producer.com

BUDGET TIGHTENING

U.S. farmers gamble with cheaper seeds, fewer inputs Lower grain prices shrink farmer income and the effects have cascaded through the agriculture industry CHICAGO, Ill. — U.S. farmers are s k i m p i n g o n e v e r y t h i n g f ro m machinery to fertilizers as they brace for their leanest season in eight years. They are betting that they can go down-market and yet maintain crop production and quality. The belt-tightening has already squeezed sales of suppliers, and farming experts warn the gamble can backfire: less robust crop protection and less resilient seeds combined with some rough weather could hurt crops this year and beyond. Jon Sparks, who farms 1,400 acres

in eastern Indiana, is scrambling to cut costs wherever he can. He is buying cheaper seeds, using less fertilizer and hoping his farm equipment will not break down this year. Sparks is not alone as farmers nationwide scrutinize every expense. Grain prices are plummeting after four years of bumper crops and earnings, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts this growing season to be the least profitable since 2007. New farm equipment sales are down across the nation’s midwestern corn belt, and seed salespeople

from Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer talk of a slump in business. As well, Mosaic and PotashCorp are reporting lower fertilizer sales volumes for some products. The cutbacks have intensified since last autumn’s record harvest and it is unclear how they will affect grain production. However, the risks are considerable. Weather forecasts are largely favourable for U.S. grain this summer, but they come with a degree of uncertainty. Agronomists say corn and soybean yields could drop 20 percent or more if growers skip dis-

ease and insect treatments to save money and the weather turns foul. The United States is the world’s top soybean and corn producer and a major exporter, so any dent in output would ripple through global markets. It could also hurt U.S. cattle and hog producers, who use corn and soybeans as feed. “Whether it is new equipment, fertilizer or other inputs such as fungicide, growers are re-evaluating every one of those decisions this year, probably at a higher level than they have in the past,” said Tom Eickhoff, corn agronomic systems

lead for Monsanto. It is too early to gauge how deep the farm spending cuts are, but the squeeze to suppliers’ profits and sales gives some sense of the scale of the belt-tightening. Deere & Co., the world’s largest farm equipment maker, reported a 43 percent drop in profit in its first quarter to Jan. 31 and has already laid off 1,500 plant workers in Iowa, Illinois and Kansas. New equipment is “a convenience more than a necessity right now,” said Sparks. Other cuts are more risky. Sparks is planting corn seed without genetic resistance to rootworms in some of his fields this year because they lie outside the “hot zone” for the pest, which the USDA estimates causes US$800 million of losses each year. Monsanto recently reported a 10 percent drop in seed sales in its second quarter to Feb. 28, with corn seed sales, its biggest revenue generator, down 15 percent. A March 31 USDA report confirmed that U.S. farmers are planning to devote the least acres to corn in five years this season, switching to cheaper soybeans that require less fertilizer. Meanwhile, more farmers than usual are passing on Monsanto’s newly launched, and most expensive, corn hybrids in favour of slightly older and cheaper ones, the company said. In response, the company is cutting its seed production plans. Officials said the company’s contracted farmers will plant less seed corn this summer for use in the 2016 season. DuPont Pioneer said the shift away from corn is hurting demand for some of its bug-battling hybrids. Choices made today will affect farmers until next season as they try to strike a balance between costs and crop quality and protection. Planting a less resilient seed or too much of a single variety can amplify crop losses if there is a spell of poor weather or an insect or disease outbreak. Skimping on fertilizer saves money but can also reduce crop yields. Still, Brian Duncan, who farms in Polo, Illinois, said he will forego spraying his corn crop with fungicide and supplemental insecticide this year. Instead, he will rely on the built-in bug protection in his biotech corn seed, which he bought from a single company to get a bulk discount. The strategy could save him as much as $35 an acre, or up to $123,000, if applied on all of his 3,900 acre farm’s corn fields. Many shun the new and embrace the old. Southwestern Indiana farmer Don Villwock is putting off a trial of DuPont Pioneer’s latest data-science advisory service this season, which costs $12 an acre. Instead, he will pay $8 an acre to rely on his local agronomist for guidance. He is also tuning up his three-yearold corn planter instead of trading it in for a new one and skipped a trip to the annual Louisville Farm Show for the first time in a decade. “I figured it’s best not to be tempted, so I stayed home.”

RESEARCH AWARD

U of M PhD student wins science competition Researcher examines unique poultry feed blends, including hemp, canola and flax, to increase omega 3 fatty acids in eggs BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A University of Manitoba PhD student has won a science award by effectively communicating in a 60 second video the research she brewed in her own kitchen lab. Erin Goldberg has been looking for ways to infuse eggs with more omega 3s by creating feed mixes for her hens that contain omega 3 rich ingredients such as hemp, canola, and flax. “I’ve always been a creative person and enjoy translating my research, so people can understand it,” said Goldberg, who won the award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. She had also participated in the 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competition at the U of M in 2013, the first year it was held there. The challenge involved explaining research in three minutes to a lay audience. Goldberg wasn’t sure what to expect from the NSERC competition because it was open to any student in Canada holding an NSERC grant. Her first project fed hempseed and hempseed oil, which are prohibited as feed ingredients in Canada, to hens to enrich their eggs with omega 3 fatty acids. “There is actually a very miniscule trace of THC in most hemp products, so there is really little risk, but the Canadian Food Inspection Agency requires several research trials to prove this, which is what our lab group is doing,” said Goldberg. “Our research proved that these two ingredients are safe and effective at the highest possible dose and there is no risk in feeding it to chickens.” Goldberg later designed vegetable oil blends to boost the levels of DHA in eggs. DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid. She found that feeding a higher ratio of saturated fats — linoleic acid (omega 6) and oleic acid (omega 9) — can reduce the competition between omega 3 and omega 6 and lead to greater deposition of these critical fatty acids. Goldberg conducts her research at the poultry barn on the U of M’s Fort Garry campus and the St. Boniface Research Centre. “I love that it is an interdisciplinary research, and I combine my interest in sensory with analytical work,” she said. “I’m fully involved from start to finish and like that I can combine my

love of animals, i.e. taking care of my birds, with my analytical work.” Goldberg’s thesis examines how feeding designer diets to laying hens affects egg fatty acids. “Essentially, I create omega 3 eggs using novel ingredient blends (hemp, canola, and flax), and then I test the egg yolk for the fat profile, aroma, and flavour,” she said. “The egg white remains the same regardless of what you feed the bird, so the changes only occur in the yolk.” Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to human diets. They are critical for

normal growth and development and play a significant role in reducing inflammation in the body, which can prevent the development and progression of many diseases. A lot of research has focused on the

health benefits of the longer chain omega 3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which play a key role in brain and eye health by contributing to membrane fluidity. As a result, these fats are especially critical in a child’s healthy development. For adults, the major benefits are mainly in the progression or prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Omega 3s can also lower triglycerides, which are an important measure of heart health.

The best source of omega 3s is fatty fish, such as wild salmon, although farmed fish have significantly less. Omega 3 enriched eggs are an excellent source for those who cannot consume fish because of an allergy or vegetarian lifestyle. Omega 3s can also be derived from plant food such as hemp, flax, walnuts, canola oil, and chia seed. However, the human body needs to convert a proportion of ALA into the longer-chain EPA and DHA, and this is inefficient and possibly insufficient for most adults.

RCMP CAREER

Mountie lives childhood dream Alberta corporal winds up career dressed in jeans and cowboy boots BY PAUL COWLEY FREELANCE WRITER

Cpl. Dave Heaslip, a livestock investigator with the RCMP, laughs at the notion that he was born a century too late. But he doesn’t deny it. One of two Alberta “horse cops” for the past decade, Heaslip is now riding into the retirement sunset after a 45-year policing career. Growing up in Port Alberni, B.C., a young Heaslip couldn’t get enough of cowboy legends such as Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger and Wyatt Earp. “I used to love that stuff,” he said.

bridge collision, he was so wet behind the ears he brought along his RCMP manual as backup. When he got there, other local police and highway patrol officers were already on scene. When Heaslip asked if the driver was badly injured, one said, “why don’t you ask him?” as he pulled back the sheet covering a very-dead motorist. “I’d never seen a dead body before,” he said. “So I did what most 19 year olds would do. As soon as I got back, I phoned my mother.” Heaslip’s next postings were Innisfail, Red Deer City and Ponoka. About this time, he was accepted to the RCMP’s famed Musical Ride, using horse skills he had learned on his grandfather’s farm in Saskatchewan, about 30 km from the U.S. border. He figures horses must be in his blood. A grandfather on his mother’s side served in the British cavalry in the First World War. The Musical Ride gave him a chance to see almost every province in Canada and more than 30 U.S. states during his two-and-a-half-year stint in the mid-1970s, he said. “Some of these horses were thoroughbreds from the racetrack,” he said. “They could really go. They had a lot of fire to them.” Like many Mounties, Heaslip moved around a lot. He went to Red Deer Rural and then St. Paul, where he raised Simmental cattle and quarter horses on a farm that he shared with his wife and young family that would grow to include three daughters. After moving to a few more locations, he got wind that the RCMP was looking for a livestock investigator. It was a job tailor-made for Heaslip, who always felt most comfortable in Wranglers and cowboy boots. The job offers a bit of everything: investigating rustlers, livestock fraud, missing animals and neighbour disputes. It’s funded 70 percent by Livestock Identification Services, a private entity in charge of inspecting brands and overseeing animal identification.

“They’re really good at what they do,” he said. Heaslip’s job keeps him on the move. His 2012 Dodge Ram truck already has 175,000 km, and his job has routinely taken him to Saskatchewan, Manitoba and into the United States, where there is co-operation between investigators. Some might be surprised to hear that he gets five or six calls about horses to every one for cattle. The calls often relate to missing animals or deals that have gone bad. Fencing issues are another constant. There’s a good reason for the saying that “good fences make good neighbours,” he said. In most cases, the first approach is to educate and warn. “We prosecute really as a last resort. What you’re striving for in the industry is compliance with the recommended codes and practice.” There are also fraud cases, where the number of financed cattle coming in the gate don’t match the number going out. One case a couple of years ago involved a southern Alberta rancher who financed 1,400 cattle and sold hundreds without informing the lender. As many as 600 were missing at one point and the investigation, which resulted in convictions, took four years. There are only two livestock investigators in the province, but as members of the RCMP’s serious crimes unit they can draw on the department’s experts from forensic accounting to blood spatter evidence. Among his career highlights is the livestock emergency response trailer initiative, which Red Deer County agriculture services manager Art Preachuk initiated. The trailers are designed to respond to livestock emergencies, such as cattle truck rollovers, and 17 are on the road in Alberta. Since retiring Heaslip has stayed in Alberta, and calls his Ponoka ranch home. “I love rodeo, I love horses, just the mystique about the western lifestyle,” he said.

FORCING PRODUCTION

Fresh rhubarb pie all winter long BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Forced winter rhubarb was first grown in caves in France about 400 years ago. “They figured someone put a rhubarb plant in a cave and it started to grow,” said Brian French, whose family owns Lennox Farms, one of only two Ontario farms that produce rhubarb. “Rhubarb was never really a big commodity until sugar came around.” French is the fifth-generation producer on this farm. His family has been farming rhubarb for more than 130 years. Their main crops are summer rhubarb, Brussels sprouts, sweet peas and forced winter rhubarb. French’s great-great-grandfather started forcing rhubarb in the early 1900s, beginning with one forcing shed. Forced rhubarb requires a windowless shed rather than a greenhouse and is grown in the dark at 10 C. “In the ’30s there were about 60 growers doing it in Ontario,” said French. “When the energy crisis hit in the ’70s, that dwindled down to about half a dozen.” The number of growers has fallen to two from six over the last 10 years, which has prompted the French family to increase its production. They have built another building, but are still playing catch-up. The family sells most of what it produces locally at corner stores and fine food stores in Toronto, as well as in bigger chain stores in Ontario closer to springtime. The Frenches grow 10 to 12 acres of mainly unharvested rhubarb for two years. They pull out six acres a year with four acres going into the forcing sheds and the remainder split and replanted. “We have stalks that came from my great-great-grandpa’s place ... splitting over the years,” said French. “Once forced, they are just like sponges. You’ve sucked out all the energy. We discard them in the field.” French said the market for winter rhubarb is much smaller than for summer rhubarb, but the family can’t grow enough to keep up with demand. “We should have 30 percent more.” However, this would require more space, which is costly unless they can use a building already on site. “We needed a building for some-

thing else, and now use it for forcing as well after having insulated the buildings quite well,” said French. Heat is one expense, but labour is the biggest cost. The farm uses workers from Trinidad. “They were one of the first ones to come on the farm worker program,” said French. “My grandpa started bringing workers up in the ’60s, so we’ve always had them. They speak English and are there every day. It’s hard to find local workers who will do all this work. In the summertime, when we are picking other things, we have up to 25 workers here, and a lot of them are Ontario workers. It’s just hard to find all the help we need. We are over an hour from any major city. People don’t want to drive out for a minimum wage job.” The foreign workers are housed on the farm in a bungalow, and the Frenches cover living costs and help them pay for their flight to Canada. Workers pick 4,000 pounds of rhubarb a week at this time of year, usually beginning at the end of January and continuing until the middle of May, when they start outdoors. The farm begins heating its four forcing sheds in a staggered fashion to ensure consistent supply. The forcing variety is different than the summer rhubarb. “The summer rhubarb we grow is quite red. It’s got a red skin with red a little inside as well,” he said. “The winter rhubarb is really green in the summertime. When you force it, it becomes a pinky color and the leaves are small. The outdoor rhubarb is something we’ve only had for maybe less than 40 years. We used to process a lot for pie companies. They wanted the red rhubarb, so we were growing it for that. But, that business is gone now, so we pick it for fresh market.” The Frenches grow 25 acres of summer rhubarb, which is all handpicked and labour intensive. Lennox Farms is looking to use its buildings in a more efficient manner. “I want to double one building almost by build a tracking system, having two layers of it,” he said. Air movement is their biggest concern because rhubarb leaves turn black without enough air movement. The building has fans but creating two layers would change the air flow. “Dad has doubts, so we’re not going to go right at it. We’ll try a little and see how it goes.”

AG SHOW FINANCES

Agribition pleased with 2014 profit Last year the event partnered with organizations to include programs designed to educate Canadians about farming BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Strong beef sales helped Canadian Western Agribition post an operating profit of $614,746 last year. “This number is consistent with the profit that we had in 2013 and highlights the vibrance of our volunteerdriven event going into our 45th year,” chief executive officer Marty Seymour said before the show’s annual general meeting April 10. Attendance was 122,000 over the six-day show, and 6,000 schoolchildren participated in the Agri-Ed program, he said. Six thousand visitors packed the Brandt Centre for the first-ever joust-

ing event, and more than 13,000 people used the inaugural park-andride service, which was four times more than expected. “As you know, beef has always been the heart of the show. It runs deep in my blood,” said outgoing president Reed Andrew. “I’m proud to report the cattle barns experienced many records and sold close to $1.6 million in cattle.” Even more importantly, he said, youth entries were up 25 percent, which is a reflection of the strong farm economy and bodes well for future shows. “In my own area, six years ago we didn’t know who would be farming. Now there’s more farmers than land

again,” he said. The show formed strategic partnerships with organizations such as the multicultural society and has included programs designed to educate new Canadians about farming. Andrew said the show might have originated as a marketplace for Canadian livestock producers but now has an educational responsibility to a society that is far removed from the farm. For its efforts, the show was honoured recently with a Prime Minister’s Volunteer award for social innovation and as a finalist in the community involvement category of the Regina and District Chamber of Commerce Paragon Awards.

The 2015 show, slated for Nov. 23-28, will be the last one to feature the Canadian Cowboys’ Association rodeo finals after a 10-year run. Seymour said it’s too soon to say what will replace that event, which draws 20,000 people to five performances. He said rodeo has been part of Agribition since the second show and will continue to do so. “We haven’t made any commitments to any rodeo,” he said. “At this point we have to produce this fall’s rodeo.” Meanwhile, infrastructure continues to be a priority. Agribition has set aside $1 million to help with facility renewal at Evraz Place, which has

been discussed for years. “We’re continuing to work with all three levels of government on a funding solution for the buildings,” Seymour said. “We’re making progress.” A g r i b i t i o n i s a t e na nt o n t h e grounds and leases facilities for its event, but it has contributed to infrastructure in the past. Recently it made a $600,000 contribution to the Stockmen’s Arena. Regina has been talking about establishing an international trade centre, and Seymour said it would be a natural investment for Agribition. Eight hundred international visitors from 70 countries attended last year. karen.brire@producer.com

A group that the Manitoba government appointed to look into small scale farm production is trying to build connections between producers, processors and the government. Dr. Wayne Lees, the province’s former chief veterinary officer who heads up the group, said the lack of an organized voice for small scale production has left the government struggling to discern if particular issues are unique or affect small scale agriculture as a whole. “Folks who are in small scale agriculture want to make money and would like it to be their full-time occupation, but many times they can’t quite get there,” he said. “But there’s many full-time conventional farmers who need to work off the farm as well.” The group’s 15 members include small scale producers, Food Matters Manitoba policy advocates, people from culinary backgrounds, a small scale retailer, academics and small scale food processors. It was formed in May and produced a report in December. “Obviously, one of the big issues was how regulations affect the small scale sector,” said Lees. “It became pretty clear that food safety was the basis for any trust in the small scale sector. For those folks that market directly (to consumers), that relationship, the trust relationship is pretty paramount. Everybody assumes the food is safe, but if you go beyond the direct producer-consumer relationship, then people start looking for things like certification, an on-farm food safety program or a safe food handling program.” The group determined that most people could access financial planning tools from major financial institutions. “Where we ran into some issues was where people couldn’t get crop insurance because their acreage wasn’t big enough,” said Lees. “In terms of how people could access insurance programs, we found it ineffective because they are so diversified. They don’t just grow one or two things. They usually grow a multitude of things. They are in essence self-blending their own risk reduction program.” The group found some differences between small scale producers and small scale processors when it came to marketing and distribution. Small scale producers generally have their own direct marketing network and do not usually have any trouble selling their products, while small scale processors sometimes have a hard time breaking into retail chains. Lees said the lack of policy, advocacy and governance is possibly the biggest problem that small farmers face because there are no national small scale grower organizations. “They don’t really have a way into making their voice heard,” said Lees. “That is a major hold back for the small scale section. Without an organization, governments have a hard time dealing with individual complaints.”

As a first step, Manitoba Agriculture has appointed specialists for small scale business development, production and processing. “One thing that we found is that people like to say if you’re for small scale, you’re against big agriculture and if you’re for big agriculture, you’re against small scale,” Lees said. “But, you know, neither of those positions is right. We need both of those types of agriculture. It’s not choosing one or the other. It ’s embracing both and having both flourish.”

BEIJING (Reuters) — Three Chinese citizens are taking China’s Ministry of Agriculture to court in a bid to make public a toxicology report supporting the approval of Monsanto’s popular weedkiller, Roundup, 27 years ago. The case, a rare example of a lawsuit by private citizens against the Chinese government, comes amid renewed attention on glyphosate, the key ingredient in Roundup, after a controversial report by a World Health Organization group last month found it to be “probably carcinogenic to humans” — a claim denied by Monsanto.

It also underlines the deep-seated fears held by some Chinese over genetically modified food. Beijing No. 3 Intermediate People’s Court had accepted the case, but a date for a hearing has not yet been set, an official at the court told Reuters. China imports about 65 percent of the world’s traded soybeans. Monsanto officials have said glyphosate has been proven safe for decades. The company has demanded a retraction from the WHO over its recent report. The plaintiffs Yang Xiaolu, Li Xiangzhen and Tian Xiangping, are

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.

demanding in the lawsuit that the agriculture ministry make public the animal test that the ministry cited as evidence to support its approval of Roundup in 1988. The test report by U.S.-based Younger Laboratories in 1985 was provided by Monsanto to the ministry, according to the plaintiffs, who argue that the ministry should allow the public to know how it determined that Roundup was safe. The ministr y has previously declined to show the plaintiffs the report, arguing that it would infringe on Monsanto’s commercial secrets, said Yang.

CONSUMER FRAUD

Dutch businessperson behind horse meat mislabelling receives jail time AMSTERDAM (Reuters) — The businessperson at the centre of a Europe-wide fraud in which horse meat was falsely labelled has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. A Dutch court found that two meat wholesalers owned by Willy Selten had bought and processed at least 330 tonnes of horse meat in 2011

and 2012, selling it to customers who believed they were buying pure beef. “By selling largely to foreign buyers, he contributed to a negative image of the Dutch beef industry, causing damage to the sector” for his own profit, the district court in Den Bosch said. Selten received half the jail term

that prosecutors had demanded. Agriculture is crucial to the Dutch economy. The country is the world’s second-largest agricultural exporter, despite having a population of just 17 million people. The horse meat scandal broke in January 2013 after genetic tests found traces of horse meat in burgers sold at two British supermarkets. Adulter-

ated beef products were discovered across Europe, with suppliers in France and the Netherlands also found to have mislabelled horse meat. Selten had told the court that the mislabelling was unintentional and the result of carelessness. The court rejected this explanation, pointing out that accounts and

invoices did not indicate the company dealt in horse meat at all. According to prosecutors, Selten’s companies bought 300 tonnes of horse meat from suppliers in the Netherlands, Ireland and Britain in 2011 and 2012, selling it to more than 500 companies across Europe. The scandal led to the recall of at least 50,000 tonnes of meat.

POLICY RUMOUR

EU hints at allowing members to ban biotech The European Parliament has already approved an opt-out policy on the cultivation of GM crops BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm groups are upset that the European Commission is rumoured to be contemplating allowing member states to reject food and feed imports containing approved biotechnology traits. “We’re really concerned about this rumoured option for member states to opt out of a science based approval process,” said Brian Innes, vice-president of government relations with the Canola Council of Canada. “It is just very difficult for us to see how it could be consistent with their (World Trade Organization) obligations to base things on science and not restrict trade unnecessarily.” European Parliament recently approved a similar opt-out policy

regarding the cultivation of GM crops. It gives member states the final say on whether to grow GM crops. That was a domestic issue for the EU, but Innes said any policy regarding imported product has implications for other countries. “We have concerns, as an industry that is based on innovation, any time regulation moves off of science and risk assessment towards political decisions,” he said. The U.S. Grains Council said the European Union’s food and feed markets are highly integrated. “National opt-outs would result in fragmentation of the internal market for imported commodities and pose a serious threat to the principle of a single market,” the council said in a recent newsletter. Innes said the opt-out policy for cultivating GM crops sparked a furious debate in the EU that essentially shut

down the region’s approval system. “There has been no biotechnology traits approved in the European Union since November of 2013,” he said. “This is essentially a de facto moratorium that contravenes their international obligations, including under the WTO.” Nineteen traits are awaiting final approval, including 13 that have already been approved by the European Food Safety Agency. The traits have been awaiting approval for an average of 69 months despite EU laws stipulating an 18-month period for a decision. The list includes two new herbicide tolerant canola traits: one from Monsanto and one from DuPont Pioneer. Those traits cannot be made available to Canadian growers until they receive EU approval. “(Delays) are costly for growers

because they prevent growers from accessing new technology, and they create significant uncertainty for seed developers as well,” said Innes. North American farm groups are not the only ones upset about the rumoured policy. Members of the EU’s food and feed industr ies issued a joint news release condemning any attempt to put market authorizations of GM crops back in the hands of individual countries. “Properly implementing the existing legislation should be the main priority for the commission before starting further reflections on changing the current market authorization procedure,” said the group. The commission is expected to release the proposal April 15. sean.pratt@producer.com

EL NINO

U.S. forecaster hikes likelihood of warm, dry summer (Reuters) — A U.S. government weather forecaster has raised its forecast for the chance of El Nino conditions during the Northern Hemisphere summer to 70 percent, up from a 60 percent chance last month. The forecast includes a 60 percent

chance that the weather phenomenon will last through autumn. The National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center said in its monthly report that El Nino conditions were apparent by the end of March. It cited above-average sea

surface temperatures across the equatorial Pacific Ocean, although they remained weak. These conditions were likely to persist throughout 2015, the centre said, although there is considerable uncertainty as to how strong the

event may become. El Nino, the warming of Pacific sea surface temperatures, can trigger drought in some parts of the world and cause flooding in others. For the Canadian Prairies, it usually means warmer, drier weather.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) — California governor Jerry Brown’s administration has hit back against criticism that its drought conservation mandates don’t apply to the state’s US$45 billion agriculture business. Environmentalists have complained that agriculture, which accounts for 80 percent of water use in the state, should also be required to conserve. “Agriculture in California produces the food we all rely on,” natural resources secretary John Laird said. “Folks want to point fingers, but we’re all in this together.” Laird said the state produces half of all U.S. produce and nearly all of such crops as broccoli, almonds and walnuts. Agricultural water use has already been restricted, forcing farmers to fallow 400,000 acres of cropland and lay off 17,000 workers. Laird said making water even harder for farmers to access could damage the state’s economy and force up food prices.

A majority of the country’s broccoli, almonds and walnuts come from California The controversy began brewing hours after Brown ordered a 25 percent reduction in urban water use in California’s first-ever mandatory cutbacks. He made the announcement in a dry meadow in the Sierra Nevada mountains to emphasize that there was no snow to melt in the spring to feed rivers and streams. Urban water systems would have to persuade consumers to cut back watering lawns and flushing toilets or face fines, but farmers would be exempt, Brown said, sparking criticism on op-ed pages and social media. The angry response has left farmers feeling besieged, said Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau. “I’m getting so many calls from farmers saying, ‘I feel like I’ve got a target on my back,’ ” Wenger said. Heather Cooley, a water expert at the Pacific Institute think-tank, said agriculture typically accounts for up to 80 percent of a region’s water use. “It takes water to grow food,” she said. California farmers have become more efficient but still have room to improve, she added. Water Resources Control Board chair Felicia Marcus said the state has to balance urban, agricultural and environmental needs for water. “We don’t have the option of saying, ‘let’s forget about the fish’ or ‘let’s forget about agriculture,’ ” Marcus said.

CONCRETE COMES CRUMBLING DOWN

PULSE FIRM FINANCES

Legumex Walker confident money owned will be paid President says the $9 million is a short-term issue and is ‘definitely collectable’ BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A major player in the pulse, special crops and canola business is having difficulty collecting what it is owed, is considering selling all or part of its business and had three directors resign in March. Investment analysts raised a number of concerns about Legumex Walker’s operations during a conference call on the firm’s 2014 results. Laurentian Bank Securities analyst Nelson Mah wondered why the firm’s accounts receivable over 90 days had blossomed to $9 million as of Dec. 31, 2014, up from $3.2 million the same time a year ago. “That is, we hope, a short-term issue,” said company president Joel Horn. “We hope to see that correcting itself fairly soon.” He blamed the situation on the collapse in crude oil prices. About 70 percent of the company’s sales are in the Americas, but it still has “robust” business in overseas markets such as the Middle East, where currencies have been battered by plummeting crude prices. Long-term customers are having trouble freeing up enough currency to make good on what is owed. Mah asked if the $9 million, which is slightly more than the company’s entire 2014 earnings, will ever be paid. “We think it’s definitely collectable, it’s just a matter of when,” said Horn. “We had this before and we collected, so if we go on our past experience, we’re not worried.” Horn said there has been some improvement in the receivable situation recently but nothing significant. “I’m not going to say we’re not worried about it. We’re paying a lot of attention to it, but it will turn itself around, we believe, when crude oil turns around,” he said. “These are friends of ours and very loyal customers.” Mah asked if the company was still selling to those loyal customers. “We do have to cut off some of them until they make good on what we’ve already sent them,” said Horn. Horn was confronted with tough questions about the company’s operations, despite having what he called a year of significant financial improvement. The company posted adjusted earnings before income, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of $8.8 million, up from negative adjusted EBITDA of $1.8 million in 2013. “We are pleased with this performance given the market conditions but are confident we can achieve much higher levels of profit,” said Horn.

Given the external factors that impacted Pacific Coast Canola in 2014, I’m proud of how well our team performed under such challenging, untypical circumstances. JOEL HORN LEGUMEX WALKER PRESIDENT

The company’s troubles stem from its underused Pacific Coast Canola plant in Warden, Washington. The plant has been unable to secure adequate seed supply because of poor rail service and insufficient local seed supply. “Given the external factors that impacted Pacific Coast Canola in 2014, I’m proud of how well our team performed under such challenging, untypical circumstances,” said Horn. Mah wanted to know why the company recently announced it was considering selling off all or a portion of the company. “Did somebody call in with bids?” he asked. Horn said he was unable to comment on the process but added that analysts and shareholders will be updated if there are any developments. Mah also asked why three members of the board of directors resigned in March, including Ivan Sabourin, former president of Roy Legumex Inc., which merged with Walker Seeds to form Legumex Walker. The three directors own 13 percent of the company’s common shares. Sabourin is staying on as a manger in the firm’s special crops division. Horn did not comment on the reason behind the resignations. Instead, he said three other board members have been appointed to a special committee to oversee the initiative to explore “strategic and financial alternatives.” “With the special committee, clearly the board is undergoing a process. I can’t comment on any specific changes,” he said. Another analyst wondered why the company recently sold one of its offices in Saskatoon. He asked if that was done to free up cash. “That wasn’t for liquidity issues. That was to get a better working environment for our employees,” said Horn. The employees were moved to the company’s special crops headquarters, which is also in Saskatoon. “We wanted to get everybody on one floor in a better, more open environment,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

LAND SALE

Australia’s largest landowner plan to sell may attract foreign interest The Kidman family’s holdings cover more than 100,000 sq. kilometres of land SYDNEY (Reuters) — Australia’s largest private landowner will sell its cattle operations, including the world’s largest ranch, to raise cash for other businesses and investments. S. Kidman & Co. said it will sell its 11 cattle stations and a feedlot, complete with more than 200,000 head of cattle and more than 100,000 sq. kilometres of land spread across Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australia. The company’s holdings cover an area equivalent in size to South Korea. The announcement of the sale, which is expected to attract significant foreign interest, comes a month after the government said it would clamp down on foreign ownership of agricultural land.

The cattle stations include Anna Creek, the world’s largest cattle farm at more than 23,000 sq. km. Managing director Greg Campbell said the Kidman family’s decision was driven by a desire to capitalize on demand for Australian agricultural assets. “Many of the family have other existing investments in Australian agriculture and elsewhere, and the sale will allow them to convert longterm capital gains into cash to support their other businesses and investments,” Campbell said. Australian agricultural assets have become increasingly desirable despite the often volatile incomes, and some industry experts estimate that overseas investors own more than 20 percent of Australian agricultural land.

Australia, which is concerned it is losing control of its own food security, decided in February to slash the amount beyond which land purchases would require regulatory approval. Foreign purchases of agricultural land worth more than US$12.5 million are now subject to regulatory approval from Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board. London-based private equity company Terra Firma was last year rumoured to be interested in buying a 50 percent stake in S. Kidman & Co. “The company is in excellent financial shape, being debt free with no mortgages over any assets,” said Campbell. It produces an average 15,000 tonnes of beef a year, supplying 1.3 percent of Australia’s slaughtered beef exports, it said.

Saskatchewan elk help researchers develop test for CWD BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Elk from a Saskatchewan herd that recently tested positive for chronic wasting disease are helping U.S. researchers develop a future test for the brain wasting disease. Kansas State University professor Dr. Nick Haley took nasal, rectal and blood samples of the Saskatchewan herd before the animals were killed,

and the results will be compared with laboratory results, said Eric Mohlman, chair of the recently revived Elk Research Council. The final post mortem report from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has not been released. Of the 120 animals that were slaughtered, 28 percent tested positive using the rectal biopsies and 12 percents tested positive from nasal swabs. “There is a pretty significant difference of what they are picking up,”

said Mohlman. “The rectal biopsies are still showing a lot more opportunity.” Blood from the animals was shared with other researchers working to develop a live CWD test. Mohlman said negotiations have begun with the owner of a Colorado herd that is heavily infected with CWD to use the herd for a test and cull research project. The test will cull only animals that test positive based on positive rectal,

blood or nasal swabs and compare the results with post mortem tests. The researchers want to continue testing and culling over the next few years to see if there is a reduced incident rate of infection in the herd by culling only animals that test positive for the disease. In Canada, the entire herd must be destroyed if one animal tests positive for CWD. mary.macarthur@producer.com

COMBINE TO CUSTOMER

Producers praise CIGI course explaining buyer needs Demonstrations showed challenges faced by food millers and processors if wheat is poor quality or low protein WINNIPEG BUREAU

Wheat’s value is all about its quality — or many qualities. However, the farmers who grow it often know little about what’s inside the kernel or what distant and littleknown buyers do with it. That reality came home to farmers Scott Sefton of Broadview, Sask., and Heather Breitkreuz of Onoway, Alta., who attended the recent Combine to Customer course at the Canadian International Grains Institute. “I think it’s important that we realize what our customers want, what they need,” said Breitkreuz March 25. “It’s fascinating to find out what the millers are looking for, the bakers, the noodles for Asian markets. I think it helps build the story of Canadian agriculture when the producers … actually know what the end product is.” CIGI has operated the Combine to Customer course for many years, giving a select group of farmers access to its facilities and experts in all facets of the milling and baking industries, as well as allowing them to hear from other members of the Canadian grain industry. Farmers hear about quality premiums, quality problems, customer complaints and processing issues but seldom understand how they actually affect the food produced at the end of the process. Sefton thinks he has a better grasp of that now. “Usually we grow it, throw it in the bin, ship it off and that’s the last we ever think about it,” said Sefton. Now, after watching CIGI demonstrate food production challenges, Sefton thinks he understands the real milling and food processing impact of crop quality damage, similar to what many farmers suffered this year.

CIGI chief executive officer JoAnne Buth said the program is doing its job of allowing interested farmers to understand better what happens to the crops they produce. “It gives them that connection and understanding, why the grading factors are so important, and why they have to pay attention to … pesticides,

things like that, but also storage,” said Buth. “So it makes that link for them about why the customer is looking for specific characteristics as well.” Breitkreuz said being exposed to issues such as gluten strength and why it’s been such a big topic in the prairie grain industry for the past couple of years has opened her eyes,

SEED TREATMENT

Give seed the treatment it deserves Earlier starts can result in plant staging that can better survive warmer-season disease pressure BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Small and diseased seed and tough conditions can compromise results in many crops. Proper seed treatment can mitigate these issues, say agrologists. This spring has the potential to be as normal as many prairie producers have seen in several years. Snow has left the fields and frost is mainly out of the ground, which means growers are preparing to head for the fields. In some cases, they’re already there. However, it is still early, and soil temperatures aren’t likely warm enough yet to allow seeds to be at their best once germinations starts. Farm saved seed and even some commercial product are having quality problems this year because of a touch of frost and damp conditions when harvest finally got started last fall. Seed treatments have long been a part of farm production but have become a greater part of popular discussion than in the past because of recent questions about neonicoti-

noid insecticides on seed and their effects on bee health. Disease is the first thing many farmers think of when it comes to farm applied seed treatment. Fungicide treatments provide protection from seedling blights and rots by preventing fungal pathogens from developing around or inside the seed. They improve the odds that a plant will make it out of the ground in one piece and rapidly reach the stage where it can compete for resources and face other pathogens. Earlier starts can result in plant staging that can better survive warmer-season disease pressure, say some agrologists. Nic Petruic of Bayer CropScience said producers can improve their odds of successful seed treatment by ensuring they apply the products as directed by manufacturer. “Is it pink enough? The science behind application is better than that,” he said. “But on the farm, well, measuring application can be a challenge, depending on what tools you are using.”

Seed treatment is critical for canola when planting in cold soil. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTO Mitchell Japp of Saskatchewan Agriculture said treatments can be particularly beneficial when planting into cold soil, when seeds will be slow to develop. Provincial research has found that they improve spring wheat and durum yields when seeding conditions or seed are less than ideal. Brian Beres of Agriculture Canada’s research center in Lethbridge has found that seed treatments improved winter wheat yields and evened out the crop when conditions for disease

or other agronomic factors were worse or where seed size was smaller than average. Agronomist Br yan Nybo said research at the Wheatland Conservation District in Swift Current, Sask., has found that the same results could be expected in spring cereals, especially in durum. Yield benefits diminished as seed size and seeding rate grew. Researchers suggest that seed treatments can even out the playing field with larger seed and higher rates when it comes to bin-run seed or seed that is smaller than average. Response is limited in spring wheat under the best conditions, while durum responses remain strong until seed size is at its largest. Petruic said producers can take steps to ensure that they receive proper coverage when applying seed treatments on the farm. “Some products are systemic and some are contact only,” he said. “Systemic products provide protection from within the plant. Others are a shield.” Japp said seed treatments are not a cure for dead, damaged or pathogen infested seed. True loose smut appears in the

embryo, and systemic treatment is used. At up to three percent fusarium gramimearum, seed treatment can be aplied. Seed with up to five percent can be planted for other fusarium species, but seed treatment is strongly advised if present in more than five percent of the lot. Common bunt or stinking smut can be countered with seed treatments. Petruic said application rates need to carefully managed. “Using the products properly helps to ensure that growers maximize the effects of their investments in seed treatment,” he said. “Some products require mixing ahead of application. If so, producers should ensure they have done this properly, getting those active ingredients in solution evenly.… Farmers are under a lot of pressure at this time of year, but if you compromise your seed, pushing the grain through faster through your treating process will (negate) other things you are doing right.” He said the capacity of the treating system needs to be right for the farm.

Seed testing is the best way to determine the level of infection when planting farm saved seed

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “It depends on how much land and when you will be applying the treatment.” Seed testing is the best way to determine the level of infection when planting farm saved seed or seed from an unknown source. Seed grower Wayne Amos of Oxbow, Sask., said there is a lot seed in prairie labs because of tough harvest conditions. “Germination and vigour are suspect this season,” he said. Petruic said growers should make sure they are choosing products that are effective for the diseases they are encountering, such as fusarium in wheat. Chris Larsen from AGI, which makes the Storm seed treater, said it is critical to properly calibrate equipment. “You can make the seed red or blue, but is it enough, or too much? It costs money to overapply, and the rates are developed and approved based on being accurate,” he said. Petruic said growers should also think about secondary mixing.

“If it is in an auger, keep it full to just about plugging. Making as much seed to seed contact as possible. We have tested and tested this, and it creates the most uniform coverage.” Larsen said the rate will likely have changed between the time the treater was calibrated first thing in the morning at 5 C and at 3 p.m. when the temperature has risen to 20 C. Petruic said growers should check the coverage to ensure it is full and there are no gaps, whether they are treating using a stop watch, graduated measures and bushel tubs or a treating system that takes everything into account. “It doesn’t take much to compromise your seed treatment, and then your investment is in question. It costs a lot to go the field,” he said. “Not every farm will have a Storm (treater), but many farms are looking at incorporating new seed treatment tools into their operations, especially where in-season capacity is an issue,” he said. michael.raine@producer.com

Major changes in farming practices always take time, and precision agriculture is no exception. Zero till first caught producers’ attention in the late 1970s, but it took more than 20 years to become mainstream. Despite the obvious benefits of satellite guidance and autosteer, it took a decade for that technology to become mainstream. Farmers began dabbling with variable rate and precision zone management in the mid-1990s, and twothirds of all newer seeding equipment on prairie farms are variable rate compatible. However, fewer than one-quarter of prairie farmers have implemented precision zone management. Three main factors prevent more producers from adapting zone management, AgriTrend agronomist Warren Bills said in a recent webinar: • The natural resistance to try new things, which is compounded by the fact that farmers are coming out of a period of good yields and good pr ices. The memor y of those recent good times makes it difficult to implement major changes. • Sixty-five percent of farmers have variable rate compatible seeding rigs, but they need training in how to make it work for them. Bills said stepping straight into a zone management regime is a daunting move for farmers if they don’t have the knowledge. Part of the problem is that farmers are rightfully afraid to turn control of their fertilizer rates over to a computer. • There used to be a perceived lack of conclusive evidence proving that

Total farm risk reduction $8.55 savings per acre Total farm risk reduction $64,792 return zone management pays off, but Bills said a growing amount of data now shows it can have a net benefit of $35 per acre, which is the difference between profit and loss some years. “We’ve documented an average benefit of $35 per acre. The data is compiled from 500,000 acres, representing 150 grain farms that have management input from 73 AgriTrend (agronomists),” said Bills. “The $35 per acre net gain is measured against a benchmark of acres fertilized with a flat rate. Seven dollars are realized through an input reduction by cutting back or eliminating fertilizer in areas with low yield potential. The other $28 comes from higher yield through better management of those areas with high yield potential. These are all real numbers from real farms we work with. “In another case example we’ve worked out, a 7,578 acre farm can save $64,792 per year by reducing or eliminating fertilizer in two low productivity areas. That’s a risk reduction figure in fertilizer savings only. It doesn’t include yield increases. The concept of precision zone management we show in these examples isn’t difficult to understand. You just need training in how to do it.”

Bills’ one-hour webinar may have seemed elementary for the one-infour prairie producers who already practise zone management, but he said it is geared for those growers who are still sitting on the fence. The power zone concept is one of the basics for novices who are just starting out with an AgriTrend agronomist. Bills recommended that farmers think of their fields in a top down, bottoms up format. The Agritrend model has six above-ground factors and six below-ground factors, all of which feed into the process of creating zone management prescription maps. The company’s above ground approach considers information from satellites, airplanes, yield maps, ground truthing, NDVI sensors and tissue samples, while below ground factors include soil electric conductivity, such as EM38 and Veris profiles, grid soil samples, government soil surveys, slope positions, elevation maps and zone soil samples. “(It) assesses variability above the surface. We look at plant density and all the things going on with the crop above ground, but it doesn’t tell us why. That’s the top down approach,” Bills said. “Power zone is a cause and effect exercise. What happens above ground with the crop is an effect that’s caused by what happens down in your soil. With the bottom up approach, we deal with soil type, nutrition, moisture, salinity, topography, drainage, soil testing and all the other things that happen below ground. You need all the top down and bottom up factors.” Bills said farmers’ awareness of the importance of salinity and EC testing has improved dramatically since the first Veris machine was displayed in Brandon 15 years ago. “And the other thing that’s improved in recent years is the number of producers who are soil testing,” he said. “That’s a big step toward making better use of your land.” For more information, contact Warren Bills at mail@agritrend.com. ron.lyseng@producer.com

DISEASE

Experts fear ergot may become perennial problem No products are registered for control and ergot resistant wheat varieties are not on the horizon BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ergot is creating larger financial losses than ever on western Canadian farms. Jim Menzies, a phytopathologist with Agriculture Canada, said the fungal disease, which infects rye, wheat and other cereal crops, has been showing up more frequently during the past 15 years in mainstream crops such as spring wheat and durum. As the disease’s prominence grows, so does interest among the country’s plant pathologists. “Back in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, we did have ergot,” said Menzies, who spoke at recent Crops and Soils conference in Saskatoon. “You could find it but it was sporadic. Occasionally it would show up in a certain area, but then it would just go away. But since about 1999, it has become more regular and quite severe in some cases. Is it going to become a perennial issue? I don’t know. But it’s starting to look like it could be.”

IN 2013, ALMOST 50% OF ALBERTA WHEAT WAS DOWNGRADED DUE TO ERGOT Ergot research has traditionally ranked low on the list of priorities, primarily because the disease has been so sporadic. But that could soon be changing. Citing data collected from the Canadian Grain Commission’s harvest survey program, Menzies said the number of spring wheat samples that were delivered to elevators and downgraded because of ergot has risen steadily since 2003. “In 2013, almost 50 percent of the wheat from Alberta was downgraded due to ergot,” he said. “That was probably closer to 30 percent in Saskatchewan and 25 percent in Manitoba … so this is a disease that does seem to be a bigger problem in Alberta. The number of downgraded samples was much lower last year, but that may have been because the grain commission relaxed the standards for ergot in the top grades of wheat. All grade of spring wheat other than feed are now subject to a relaxed tolerance threshold of .04 percent. Thresholds aside, it appears that the frequency of ergot infection is on the rise in Western Canada. “When you look at 2013 and the number of samples downgraded, that also means that we have a very large increase in the amount of inoculum that are in the fields and ditches … which means we have a

greater potential for ergot to reoccur,” he said. Menzies said financial losses caused by ergot infection are primarily the result of downgrades at the elevator. Yield loss is a consideration, but only a minor one, he added. Even in a heavily infected field, yield losses might amount to three or four percent. “The real issue here is the presence of ergot bodies, and that’s because they contain toxic alkaloids,” he said. “If you use ergoty grain to produce food, these toxic alkaloids get into the food supply and they can cause serious problems (in human health) and … with animals. It’s a human food and animal feed issue.” Ergot infection is difficult to control. The first visible signs of infection are the formation of small drops of honey dew, which appear on the immature heads of wheat and durum seven to 10 days after infection has occurred. Dark coloured sclerotia bodies will begin to appear on the spikes by the end of July or early August. By that time, spraying will do no good, Menzies said. As well, no products are registered for control of ergot. Menzies said there is no silver bullet for controlling ergot in grain. Plant researchers have identified sources of genetic resistance, but the development of ergot-resistant wheat varieties is still “a ways down the road.” The best defence against the disease is an integrated management strategy comprising quality seed use, proper crop nutrition, good crop rotations and other beneficial crop management practices. Growers should begin with good seed, preferably certified stocks that have a reduced tolerance for ergot. Cereals are susceptible to infection during flowering, so any steps that can be taken to reduce the flowering period will reduce the risk of infection. Stressed crops are also more susceptible, which means supplementing micronutrient levels such as copper and boron might be beneficial. However, the addition of copper and boron won’t eliminate the problem. “I know there are some people out there who suggest that copper and boron will completely get rid of ergot, but I don’t believe that,” Menzies said. Proper rotations are the trump card when it comes to prevention. “There are a large number of diseases that will be controlled to a certain degree through the use of a proper rotation,” he said. brian.cross@producer.com

DISEASE PREVENTION

Rotate, plow to help prevent ergot Some wheat classes may be less susceptible to disease, but studies showed Canada Western Red Spring wheats are at the greatest risk BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

There are many ways to reduce the risk of ergot infection and limit financial losses, says Jim Menzies, a plant pathologist who has studied the disease. Here are a few strategies farmers should consider: • Don’t use seed that contains ergot sclerotia. Scrutinize farm-saved seed and if possible, use certified seed supplies, which have low tolerance for ergot. • Rotate crops. Avoid wheat after rye and avoid growing wheat and rye side by side. “My personal opinion is that growing the same crops (every second year) is not a rotation,” Menzies said. “I think you have to be looking at a minimum of three years, and in some cases four

might be better.” • Mow or spray grasses in ditches and field edges. Grasses are a source of ergot inoculum, which can be minimized if grasses are cut before the crop comes into flower. • Manage crops properly to ensure optimal plant health. The longer a crop’s flowering period, the greater its chance of infection. Unhealthy or stressed crops normally have longer flowering periods. Reduce the risk of infection by keeping the crop well fertilized. Watch copper and boron levels. • Avoid late herbicide applications if possible. • Deep plowing can be used in heavily infected areas to bury ergot sclerotia and limit the number of spores that are released. Burning can also have a limited impact but is generally not considered an effective control strategy. • Grow uniform stands. Increase seeding rates to reduce the development of tillers. Research from the United Kingdom suggests that late tillers are often more prone to ergot infection than main heads on the main stems. • Timing of plant development is a factor. Crops that flower earlier might be slightly less susceptible to ergot infection. • There is some evidence to suggest that certain classes of wheat are less susceptible than others. Research conducted by Menzies

•

showed that Canada Western Red Spring wheats were most susceptible, Canada Prairie Spring varieties were slightly better and durum was better yet. However, Menzies cautioned that research in this area is limited and has produced variable results. Class by class assessments might be affected by the individual varieties that were examined within each class. Delay swathing if ergot bodies are plentiful in the standing crop and if harvest priorities can be adjusted. Wind in a ripe standing crop will cause ergot bodies to fall to the ground, reducing infected kernels in the harvested sample and limiting the risk of downgrading. Harvest fields in pieces if necessary and segregate grain from heavily infected areas. Ergot infection tends to be heaviest near the field’s perimeter. Harvesting headlands and border areas separately can reduce cleaning costs and negate grade losses. Clean heavily polluted grain with gravity tables, colour sorters and other equipment to maximize the crop’s value. Dump screenings in the landfill or bury them. Don’t try to sell them or salvage any value. Alkaloids contained in ergot are highly toxic and can cause serious health problems in humans and livestock. brian.cross@producer.com

Ergot and copper walk hand in hand in farm fields. Ieuan Evans of Agritrend has long pronounced it so, and in a year that some agrologists are suggesting might be prone to a serious outbreak, he suggests producers take their soil composition seriously. Evans, who has been a leading voice in soil agronomy and plant pathology in Alberta for four decades, said nearly 30 percent of the province’s soils and up to 20 percent of Saskatchewan’s are deficient in copper. Central Alberta is especially short, he said. In years with lots of damp soil root reach can be limited, especially in heavier, black land. “The copper might be there, but it is down six inches or so, and the plants don’t reach that far,” he said. “The science is there, we have done it, it isn’t just me saying it.… I know there are lot of folks who refuse to make the link, but this is nothing new.” He said lack of copper leads to pollen sterility, and wheat and barley plants tend to open their flowers

when they don’t have enough of the micronutrient as part of their hunt for better pollen. Ergot spores are able to access the heads while the flowers are open and create infection. Copper deficiency can sometimes be found as a symptom in cereals known as pig-tailing, where leaves will pinch off and curl laterally. Plants require copper for enzyme activation, hormone balancing and energy systems. Jeff Schoenau of the University of Saskatchewan said copper might not be a magic bullet for ergot control, but it is a tool that farmers can use effectively, often with foliar applications. michael.raine@producer.com

TUBERCULOSIS STUDY

Community pulls support for bison research project BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Efforts to find an effective blood test for bovine tuberculosis in wild Wood bison in northeastern Alberta had been put on hold. | FILE PHOTO

Adam Hering travelled to the Alberta-Northwest Territories border to help an at-risk herd of wild bison known to carry bovine tuberculosis. Hering, a graduate student at the University of Saskatchewan, had hoped to develop a more effective diagnostic test for the disease but last week was dismantling his research project after local community groups withdrew their support. “It would be sad to see this project die because people have been not talking about this disease, even though it’s been a problem for many, many years,” he said on the phone

from Forth Smith, N.W.T. Wood bison at Wood Bison National Park in northeastern Alberta have carried the disease since the 1920s, when Plains bison that had caught tuberculosis and brucellosis from domestic cattle were brought to the park. The Alberta government has made efforts to monitor the disease and keep infected, free-ranging herds away from domestic cattle. Bovine tuberculosis, reportable under the Health of Animals Act, impairs an infected animal’s breathing and makes it more vulnerable to predators. A skin test can test for bovine tuberculosis in commercial cattle, but it isn’t always accurate. It also requires

handling an animal twice, which is problematic in wild herds. The most accurate way to diagnose an animal is to conduct a full postmortem exam. Hering was seeking an effective blood test that managers could use to determine which animals are infected. He said similar work has helped control the disease in elk. “The way we removed (bovine tuberculosis) from cattle populations was essentially killing off entire herds of cattle as soon as one animal tested positive, which is an option that’s been proposed in Wood buffalo and isn’t acceptable and hasn’t happened and shouldn’t happen, in my opinion,” said Hering, who estimated there are close to 5,000 Wood bison in the park. He planned to conduct skin and blood tests on animals and ultimately cull 180 to 200 older bulls over three years, working with members of local communities to harvest the animals and distribute the meat. He said he contacted local leaders late last fall, who agreed to the project, and received a research permit. “There were community members that are generally concerned about the size of the herd and based on population estimates, it seems like the herd is on a downward trend,” said Hering. “What exactly is leading to that, it’s hard to say for sure. These diseases could be part of that picture and very likely are a part of that picture.” His team began field work in February, working with a helicopter to put collars on animals. Ken Hudson, president of the Fort Smith Metis Council, said details of the community involvement, including who would be involved, when and for how much, weren’t agreed upon. He said he contacted two other nearby aboriginal groups and all three withdrew support. “We all initially supported it. It fell apart because of the lack of communication and lack of carrying through with the promises that they made,” he said. Hering said local community members were never meant to be involved in the project’s first phase. “It’s really just such an unfortunate miscommunication that happened. It seemed like a lot of the things that people are pointing out is related to consultation, and it’s too bad,” said Hering. “I think everybody came to the table with really good intentions.” The project’s second phase, culling the animals, was to begin this month, but instead Hering arrived in Fort Smith April 6 to remove the collars from the animals. “Without the support of all three groups, we didn’t feel comfortable proceeding with the project,” he said. “They had requested we remove the collars. We decided we should honour that request, and that’s what we’re doing right now.” Both sides expressed hope that the project, which was to be the focus of Hering’s PhD thesis, could be revived in the future. “I hope for the sake of bison conservation in Canada and all of the benefits that I think really can come to local communities as a result … that it can go through in future years,” said Hering. “Even if it’s not the main topic of my thesis, I definitely hope and intend to be involved if possible.” dan.yates@producer.com

LEGAL ACTION

Supreme Court blocks $17B claim in CWB lawsuit Documents acquired through access to information requests have large sections removed BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A CWB class action lawsuit will go ahead, but the monetary damages being sought by aggrieved farmers will probably be in the millions of dollars rather than the billions. Winnipeg lawyer Anders Bruun said an April 9 Supreme Court decision that blocks a $17 billion claim against Ottawa will not affect plans to proceed with a smaller lawsuit, potentially worth “hundreds of millions of dollars.” Bruun said the exact amount of the class action claim is difficult to estimate, partly because public access to CWB’s financial statements has been restricted. “We believe that there’s a very substantial amount of money that was moved forward to the new CWB from the old Canadian Wheat Board in an inappropriate way,” Bruun said. “That portion of the claim against Ottawa is alive and well despite the Supreme Court ruling. It was allowed at the trial level, it was appealed by (Ottawa) to the Federal Court of Appeal and the court of appeal has allowed the case to go ahead.” Bruun said the ongoing claim against Ottawa is related to the alleged mismanagement of money that should have been directed into the CWB’s pool accounts during the 201213 crop year and paid to farmers. Farmers involved in the class action say some money that should have been paid to farmers in the form of grain cheques was instead placed in a contingency fund that was to be used at the discretion of CWB directors. Class action litigants are also disputing the legitimacy of write-downs that affected the value of certain CWB assets, such as computers. They are also unclear about the source of funds that were used to pay employee severance packages at the board. Aggrieved farmers say money derived from the sale of their grain should not have been used to finance CWB’s transition from a mandatory state-trading enterprise to a voluntary, government owned marketing agency. Bruun conceded that some of the C W B ’s t r a n s i t i o n c o s t s w e r e financed through an “injection of federal cash into the wheat board’s pool accounts.” Ottawa announced in June 2012 that it would provide $349 million to help CWB cover extraordinary costs related to the transition to a voluntary marketing agency. However, it is not clear how that money was used or if additional money derived from farmers’ grain

sales was also used. “It’s not quite clear how any of that was done because we don’t have access to the wheat board’s audited financial statements,” Bruun said. “The CWB’s financial statements have not been disclosed by (agriculture) minister (Gerry) Ritz. They released an annual report from the CWB for the 2012-13 crop year, but it only contained notes to the financial statements. The financial statements themselves were removed entirely.” Bruun estimated the value of the

class action in the “several hundreds of millions,” but conceded that it is difficult to estimate the exact value because details of CWB’s financial operations have been not been made public since Aug. 1, 2012. Ottawa and CWB have refused to release detailed financial statements, suggesting the information is commercially sensitive and could hurt efforts to find an appropriate corporate partner for CWB. By law, the voluntary CWB must be “commercialized” before Aug.1, 2017.

Attempts by The Western Producer to access the CWB’s financial statements have been mostly unsuccessful. Copies of CWB’s 2012-13 audited financial statements were acquired through access to information provisions, but key portions of the statements had been blacked out or removed. “As you are no doubt aware, since Aug.1, 2012, CWB has been marketing grain in a highly competitive e n v i r o n m e n t ,” C W B w r o t e i n response to the access to information request.

PRICE OUTLOOK

Big opportunities lie in beef production It will take several years to rebuild the domestic herd, so limited cattle supply will support prices BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Cattle prices are high, beef demand is high and good times are likely to keep rolling until at least 2019. So said Canfax s e n i o r a na l y s t Brian Perillat and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association consultant John Paterson at a recent Angus-sponsored cattle feeder meeting in Lethbridge. Fat cattle prices are flirting with $2 per pound, quality is improving and continued tight beef supplies bode well for future profits, they said. No good news comes without a few provisos, however. Perillat said there will be challenges when the Canadian herd expands, but higher numbers won’t be evident until at least 2018 and probably longer. “I think we’ve got opportunity here to stay historically high prices, and I kind of just cover my butt by saying prices can still drop quite a bit and we’ll still be historically high,” said Perillat. Paterson was even more optimistic about exports. “The next 20 years will be the best in the history of the beef industry because there are going to be more people, they’re going to have more money,” he said. “They’re going to move up in stature and they want to eat more beef. Those are the simple facts.” The United States is showing signs of herd expansion with two percent more beef cows and four percent more breeding heifers in inventory compared to last year, Perillat said. In Canada, it’s more a

case of stabilizing herd size, with only slight expansion evident. “Cow-calf producers, I don’t think you can make them smile much bigger than they have,” he said. “They are reinvesting in the herd as well. The guys who stuck it out are finally getting rewarded.” Bull sale prices this spring showed increases in breeding stock interest, which is another sign of pending expansion, Perillat said. However, the Canadian cow herd shrunk last year, and high numbers of feeder heifers were shipped south because of cheap feed, the low Canadian dollar and heifers’ cost of gain advantage over steers. Perillat said heifers comprised twothirds of all feeders shipped south last year, compared to 58 percent in 2013. “Heifer retention has been the real struggle. We’re not going to grow the herd by killing less cows. It’s about keeping heifers around,” he said. “We should be keeping another 100,000 heifers around, not an extra 20,000 that we’ve bumped up in the last couple years.” Last year was also profitable for the feedlot sector, with some realizing $50 per head, said Perillat. However, cheap U.S. corn drew more than one million head south, the largest number in the last 18 years. The steady decline in barley acres is a concern for the Canadian feeding sector and is likely to present future challenges. Canada has lost about 10 percent of its feedlot capacity in the last five years, according to Canfax data, and now has capacity for 1.4 million head. Perillat also noted fewer people are backgrounding calves. “All the cattle are coming to town in the fall,” he said, which puts stress on the feedlot infrastructure and forces more cattle south to U.S. feeders. Paterson quoted several American cattle industry analysts who are all bullish on the market until at least 2019. barb.glen@producer.com

PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Drought, input costs may hinder cattle herd expansion required to meet demand BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

North American cattle prices are likely to stay high until at least 2019, say market experts, but the future beyond that is riding on cow herd expansion. John Paterson, a consultant with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said the North American cow herd numbers 28 million head, and

markets look good until it expands to 32 million. “No matter where you go in the United States, everybody says, ‘we’re going to retain animals.’ That’s what they say. Are they really going to do it?” Paterson asked those at a March 31 feedlot meeting. Recent figures indicate herd expansion has begun in the United States, likely because of good supply and demand fundamentals, high inter-

national demand, lower cost feed in most areas and less volatility in input costs. However, working against expansion are drought in some regions, environmental restrictions, input costs, industry consolidation and limits on available credit. Without expansion, producers run the risk of missing opportunities to capitalize on consumer tastes for quality beef.

Paterson quoted Randy Blach of Cattlefax, who said the herd must expand within the next one to four years. If it doesn’t, there will be a smaller industry and beef will move from the centre of the plate to a specialty item, such as steak salad. “None of us want to see that happen,” said Paterson. He listed five factors that will influence herd rebuilding in North

America: • financing • forage availability • options for replacements • value of replacements • generational turnover The last factor refers to recent statistics that show producers aged 35 to 54 are the ones most frequently leaving the cattle business. barb.glen@producer.com

Stressed cattle, heavy tag and large brands pose challenges and reduce value BY BARB GLEN

CARGILL MEAT SOLUTIONS

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Slaughter plants have straightforward needs, says Cargill Meat Solutions operations manager John Lines. They want clean, calm, healthy cattle that are age verified and don’t have bruises, big brands, horns or bad livers. Lines would likely be one happy guy if all cattle arrived at Cargill’s plant at High River, Alta., with those specifications. But such is not the case, and he explained some of the processing plant’s challenges to feedlot operators at a Canadian Angus-sponsored meeting in Lethbridge March 31. Cleanliness is an important element for food safety, but it also factors into hide quality and profitability, said Lines. In southern Alberta, where a chinook occurs on average every 12 days, weather plays a major role in animals’ outward cleanliness. “The reason why we’re so in tune with the weather is that every time the weather shifts at 15 C, cattle shed E. coli and they become stressed and then they become a challenge to process,” said Lines. Heavy tag makes hides more difficult to remove from carcasses, which increases the chance of damage. “We think that for every 10 pounds of tag, there’s a half a percent of impact on the carcass yield.” One producer asked if the plant communicates tag problems to the shipper. Line said it does. “Our concerns, we feel, are almost unheard, and that isn’t supposed to be a derogatory statement. It’s the condition of southern Alberta, is that you get a chinook every 12 days, 15 days,” he said. “We try and communicate it and it’s everybody’s challenge, especially when its expensive to feed, and bedding is expensive, too.”

A small butt brand means that you’re not going to have a significant amount of damage or downgrading of that hide, and there is a significant value difference for us. JOHN LINES, CARGILL MEAT SOLUTIONS

Lines said hides from Canadian cattle are among the best quality in the world because of their thickness resulting from the cold climate. Large brands can reduce hide value. Lines said small hip brands are preferable to those on the rib or shoulder, and multiple brands can cause a drastic reduction in value. “A small butt brand means that you’re not going to have a significant amount of damage or downgrading of that hide, and there is a significant value difference for us,” Lines said. The Cargill plant in High River receives about 100 trailer loads of cattle per day. Cows and heifers that are due to give birth in transport or at the plant site should be avoided. Similarly, animals that go down in transport are dangerous to manage and present a challenge in humane handling. Animal welfare is important for

those cattle and all others that come to the plant, Lines added. “You have a live animal on one side of the knocking box, which needs to be handled humanely, and on the other side it is a food product, and I’m going to stress food product because sometimes we lose sight of this,” he said. “Ultimately these animals are going to end up on someone’s plate. We want to make sure that it’s done ethically.” Radio frequency identification tags for which birth dates have been entered assist the plant in age verification. Without that information, age must be estimated using a manual dentition check. As for cattle livers, Lines said the plant sees quite a few bad livers, generally because of acidosis caused by heavy feeding. Abscessed livers are rejected for human use, but some go into the pet food market at a major discount. A healthy bovine liver weighs 12 to 15 lb. “We can process every liver out of every carcass we have sold. We can sell it whole, with the skin on, into the international market. We can process it. We can skin it. We can slice it. It’s a high value product.” Research and monitoring to reduce acidosis and maintain bovine liver health are positive developments, he said. barb.glen@producer.com

The National Cattle Feeders’ Association is developing a feedlot animal care protocol that will be a companion to the Beef Cattle Code of Practice now in place nationally. Casey Vander Ploeg, manager of policy and research for the association, said the protocol was prompted by food companies’ desire for assurances that animals are being properly cared for in feedlots. Rather than have an array of policies and paperwork, the association decided to develop a plan that was consistent across the feedlot sector. “Consumers and the public are increasingly concerned about where their food comes from and how it’s produced,” said Vander Ploeg. “We want to be able as an industry to demonstrate that we take care of our animals and these are the things we do to ensure their welfare.” The association has struck its own committee to develop the protocol rather than going through the National Farm Animal Care Council process of code development. Vander Ploeg said handling facilities will be a big part of the protocol, as well as transportation in and out of the lot, loading and unloading and treatment of sick animals. “We’re testing that right now at some feedlots, going through the guide and getting feedback on that.” The protocol will be auditable by a third-party auditor so food companies can receive the needed assurances about animal welfare. The national feeders association is also working on a study of regulations that impede the cattle feeding industry.

CASEY CANDER PLOEG NATIONAL CATTLE FEEDER’S ASSOCIATION

“There’s constant talk within the industry that government regulations surrounding the beef sector create a burden,” said Vander Ploeg. “We’re going to be holding a series of focus groups in different provinces with producers, processors, veterinarians, people who are transporting livestock, getting them together … to tell us what are the regulations, federal and provincial, that are creating the biggest burden of compliance for them.” Examples might include the higher cost of veterinary drugs in Canada relative to the United States or environmental regulations that make the country less competitive, he said. The association will then analyze what those regulations cost the feedlot industry relative to their benefits. “What are the regulations protecting us from on the risk side, and what does it cost the industry?” he asked. “Then is there potential to reform those regulations, make them more friendly towards the business of cattle feeding?” Vander Ploeg said the association is putting $100,000 toward the project, and other beef groups may also contribute. barb.glen@producer.com

Hog producers are urged to avoid using drugs commonly used in human medicine to prevent antibiotic resistance. | FILE PHOTO

Hog producers who use antibiotics that are also used in human medicine should review use and prepare for changes.
