Farmer buy-out provisions, elevator shortage temper enthusiasm

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CWB is going to have to get bigger and prove that it is serious about wanting farmer involvement, say leaders of western Canadian farm organizations.

The company’s elevator shortage and the possibility that the new owners could buy out the farmer share are tempering enthusiasm

among many producers.

“It would be a lot more palatable if it didn’t have that seven-year buyout (provision),” said Lynn Jacobson, president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.

Global Grain Group, known as G3, is buying 50.1 percent of CWB for a $250 million investment. The remaining 49.9 percent will be farmer owned, and operated through a farmers’ trust.

Another concern raised by farm group leaders is the company’s eastern bias.

With elevators in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec and terminals on the Great Lakes and St. L aw re n c e S e aw a y , t h e C W B doesn’t offer much to engage Alberta and British Columbia farmers.

TOO MUCH HERE, TOO LITTLE THERE

HOG SECTOR

Manitoba hog barn ban relaxed, but rules remain Regulations on manure treatment costly, onerous

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Manitoba hog barn moratorium has begun breaking up, but nobody expects a flood of new barns any time soon.

Farmers will have to comply with expensive manure treatment regulations and will be able to apply manure only at extremely low rates.

These restrictions will make expansion in many areas difficult or impossible.

However, the industry is celebrating the loosening of the hog barn ban as the beginning of a “rebalancing” in provincial production.

“There’s a need to rebuild this industry. We’re down 700,000 pigs at least,” Karl Kynoch, the outgoing Manitoba Pork Council chair, said at the organization’s April 15 annual meeting.

KARL KYNOCH FORMER MANITOBA PORK COUNCIL CHAIR

“We need to balance this industry.

We need to balance it back to the capacity of the plants.”

If the moratorium truly has been relaxed, then a demoralizing period for Manitoba hog farmers might be passing.

Hog production in Manitoba has declined since the first limited moratorium in 2007 and the provincewide moratorium of 2011.

The decline has created a severe problem for Manitoba’s processing plants.

The Maple Leaf Foods plant in Brandon is running far short of its capacity and has repeatedly warned that its second shift, employing hundreds of workers, might be shut down if Manitoba hog numbers continue to fall.

The new rules allowing new barns and barn expansion are laid out in a new booklet available to producers.

Farmers wanting to build new barns will have to construct two-cell lagoon systems that separate most of the solid manure from the waste water.

They will also have to remove most of the phosphorus from the spreadable manure.

Farmers will be required to spread the manure at phosphorus removal rates that are far below existing standards.

Kynoch said the regulations are onerous, but they will allow some farmers to build new barns, which will help rejuvenate the stalled industry.

“It’ll definitely lead to some.” ed.white@producer.com

SASKATCHEWAN FARM SECURITY ACT

Land investment plan rejected

by Farm Land Security Board Judge says a company that lends farmers money to ‘own’ land, but reaps revenue and capital appreciation, is in fact, the landholder

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A judge has ruled in favour of Saskatchewan’s Farm Land Security Board in a case that could have redefined how land is sold in the province.

Skyline Agriculture wanted to lend Saskatchewan farmers the money to buy farmland and then provide a land value hedge against the risk of changing land values.

Skyline would assume a portion of the land value risk but the land would continue to be 100 percent owned by the farmer.

The company financed a 15-acre purchase of Saskatchewan farmland to test the unique financing model against the province’s land ownership rules, which restrict non-Canadians from owning more than 10 acres of Saskatchewan farmland.

Skyline has admitted the money used to finance land purchases will come from foreign investors. However, it felt that the financing arrangement complies with the province’s land ownership rules since the land

If they were the winner and their proposal would have gone forward it would have, in the board’s view, had an impact on non-Canadians having a landholding in Saskatchewan farmland.

MARK FOLK, FARM LAND SECURITY BOARD

would be 100 percent owned by local farmers.

The Farm Land Security Board disagreed with that interpretation and ruled that the purchase violated the Saskatchewan Farm Security Act. Skyline appealed the ruling but the Court of Queen’s Bench upheld the board’s decision in a 44-page judgment handed down on March 26.

“This appeal brings into sharp focus two competing forces: international investors seeking to gain some measure of access to Saskatchewan’s agriculture scene versus legislation designed to protect ownership of Saskatchewan’s farmland primarily for Canadian residents,” said Justice Donald Layh.

Much of the decision centered on

whether the court should apply the stringent correctness standard of review or the more relaxed reasonableness standard.

Layh determined he would apply the reasonableness standard and that the board was reasonable in determining that Skyline would have the ability to control the operation and management of the farm, would get 18 percent of its gross revenue and benefits from any capital appreciation of the land.

The judge agreed that those are rights and controls normally accruing to the landholder.

Mark Folk, general manager of the Farm Land Security Board, called the ruling a precedent-setting decision.

“If they were the winner and their proposal would have gone forward

it would have, in the board’s view, had an impact on non-Canadians having a landholding in Saskatchewan farmland.”

Folk said the decision makes it clear that just because you are not the owner of the farmland on paper doesn’t mean you are not in violation of the act if you are receiving the benefits of farmland ownership.

“One way to put it is if you can’t do it directly you probably can’t do it indirectly either,” he said.

Folk said members of the investment community were closely following the court case.

Mark Reineking, president of Skyline, was contacted for the story but declined to comment while the company is mulling over a possible appeal.

Saskatchewan is considering making changes to the Farm Security Act that could prevent groups like the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board from buying farmland in the province and companies like Skyline from exploiting loopholes in the legislation. sean.pratt@producer.com

“We’re disappointed that they put an ability for the G3 to say, ‘OK farmers, at the end of seven years we’re going to buy it up.’ ”

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “The wheat board won’t be a player in our market until they have some facilities,” said Jacobson.

Manitoba’s Keystone Agricultural Producers has the same concerns with the small size of the G3-CWB combination, but it is optimistic the Bungebacked company can boost its size.

That will enable it to compete with the big three grain companies that dominate the Prairies and west coast ports.

“This is about building,” said KAP president Dan Mazier.

However, Manitoba farmers are also rattled by the seven-year buyout provisions. Farmers he has spoken with are interested in how they will acquire farmers’ trust equity, and some seem happy to have a way to own a chunk of the prairie grain business. However, the buyout possibility undermines confidence that any farmer stake will last long.

“That’s what caught everybody by surprise,” said Mazier.

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall was similarly nonplussed by the

buyout provision.

“We’re disappointed that they put an ability for the G3 to say, ‘OK farmers, at the end of seven years we’re going to buy it up,’ ” said Hall.

He also thinks CWB will have to build more facilities and lock down west coast terminal capacity if it wants to convince farmers that it will add significant competition to Canada’s highly concentrated grain industry.

“They have to be building more,” said Hall.

All three farm leaders noted that the wheat board issue is still divisive, even after the federal government broke its monopoly and sold control

of the company to G3.

“It’s still very polarizing,” said Hall.

He recently received calls from farmers both calling for CWB to be disbanded without a trace and for the old monopoly CWB to be resurrected.

Left wing and right wing farm groups showed elements of that polarization.

“It’s the next to last step of the biggest transfer of wealth away from farmers that this country has ever seen,” said Stewart Wells, a member of the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, which has been fighting the government’s privatization plans.

“This particular sale is like adding insult to injury, when you take the

He said the arrival of a new grain company in Western Canada didn’t amount to more than “adding another shark into the shark tank.”

National Farmers Union president Jan Slomp also expressed disgust at the deal, saying he would have preferred almost “anything but this. It’s an insult to give less than 50 percent to the farmers because how are they going to control anything?”

He was also angry that farmers

don’t get to have input in the deal.

“Where is the public input in these plans?”

However, right wing farm groups were generally supportive of the Conservative government’s actions on the CWB issue and with the G3 deal.

“This deal will strengthen the CWB’s ability to compete for farmer’s grain,” Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association president Levi Wood said in a news release.

Quebec City is being rolled into the new CWB, as are a handful of eastern grain elevators. Some of the G3 investment will be money to pay down debts accrued by CWB as it bought and built grain-handling assets such as Mission Terminal, an export terminal at Trois Rivieres, Que., inland grain terminals and new elevators.

The privatization should be completed during the summer and has already received the approval of Industry Canada.

It brings to a close a major chapter in the Conservative government’s agriculture policy agenda, and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz was in a celebratory mood at the official announcement.

“With this deal, our government has fully delivered on the commitments we made during the marketing freedom legislation,” said Ritz, flanked by representatives of CWB and G3.

“The bottom line for farmers is that a strong, voluntary CWB needs another viable, competitive bidder (to be brought into Canada’s grain business as owner). With another strong bidder, Canadian farmers will be better able to capture these exciting opportunities.”

CWB president Ian White said bringing in a capital-rich, global grain giant fulfilled everything CWB believed it needed to create a viable new alternative to Canada’s present grain companies.

The biggest strategic weakness for the new CWB is its lack of west coast export facilities.

“We see possibilities and potential for development on the West Coast,” said Gerrand.

The farmers’ trust will distribute its 49.9 percent of CWB equity to farm-

ers at the rate of $5 per tonne of grain delivered, as has been the case since the farmer equity plan was unveiled in 2013.

The federal government will not recoup the $300 million it spent when the CWB monopoly was dissolved. Repayment would have threatened the new CWB’s survival.

Dayna Spiring, CWB’s strategy officer and the overseer of the privatization process, highlighted the ability of farmers to earn equity in the farmers’ trust as a way to obtain ownership in the Canadian grain industry.

“Up until today, farmers had no ownership interest in the CWB. It was farmer controlled. It was never farmer owned.”

Spiring said the seven-year buyout option in the G3 deal does not make a buyout inevitable but was a commercial consideration that every potential buyer the C WB spoke with demanded as part of a final deal.

Any gains in CWB’s value will be reflected in the value of the farmerowned units in the trust, she said.

CWB plans to continue to offer pooling as a marketing choice for its farmer-customers.

“We still believe that there’s a place for pooling, as many farmers continue to want to pool their grain,” said White.

G3 intends to move into CWB’s headquarters in Winnipeg. ed.white@producer.com

FARM SUPPORT

Federal payments show decline Strong commodity prices a contributing factor

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Federal program payments to Canadian farmers are continuing to decline, according to a new report from Agriculture Canada.

The report, which was released last week, crunches numbers through 2013 and cites strong commodity prices as a contributing factor in the falling numbers.

The document, An Overview of the Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food System, is issued annually and touches on a range of subjects, including producer payments, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and food waste.

Total government expenditures to the agriculture sector, including provincial and federal contributions, are estimated at $6.2 billion for 2013-14. Spending dropped from 34.6 to 31.2 percent as a share of the agriculture GDP. “I think what we’re seeing is the impact of increased prices on commodities in these figures that are coming out,” said Ron Bonnet, president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

The report shows an overall decline in government expenditures since the BSE crisis in 2003 but doesn’t reflect changes introduced by the federal government in 2013, which reduced benefits from the AgriStability and AgriInvest programs.

Grain, oilseed and oilseed receipts grew to account for 40.1 percent of all market receipts during the 2003-13 period. The record harvest of 2013 saw almost 60 percent of all prairie market receipts come from grain and oilseed sales.

“We’re still hearing concerns expressed about the low levels of support under AgriStability. That’s been a common complaint, but we really haven’t had a chance to test the system yet to see how that’s going to respond,” said Bonnett.

“With some of the drop in grain prices recently, that may start to come to pass.”

AgriInvest saw the government reduce its matching contributions to one percent of a producer’s allowable net sales from 1.5 percent, while the government lowered the point at

BY THE NUMBERS • The Canadian agriculture and agrifood industry generated $106.9 billion in 2013, or 6.7 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

• The agricultural sector provided one in eight jobs in the country, employing more than 2.2 million people.

• 50.8 percent of Canadian exports went to the United States.

Source: Agriculture Canada report for 2013

which producers can qualify for AgriStability payments to 70 percent of their recent average income from 85 percent.

“I think there may be a bit of frustration out there about the lower payment levels, but I wouldn’t recommend people abandon it completely out there at this point,” Bonnett said.

“Still, having that 70 percent there does give some level of support if there is a crash and we’re going to try and keep working on how to manage some smaller drops.”

Bonnett didn’t expect the federal budget to change producer business risk management programs. The budget was to be unveiled this week after The Western Producer’s press deadline.

He said the CFA has lobbied for tax policies that assist family farm succession and transfer.

The Agriculture Canada report also addressed food waste, which is identified as a key issue for global food security.

It found that one-third of available food is lost or wasted at the household or retail level in Canada.

“We do have four million people in this country that live in varying degrees of food insecurity,” said Diana Bronson, executive director of Food Secure Canada.

“You cannot do otherwise than draw the link between those two facts, that there is food that is being thrown out at the same time there is people who are going hungry. That is a terrible irony and a terrible illustration of how our food system is broken.” dan.yates@producer.com

CROP DISEASE

Stripe rust a growing concern in Alberta, but hot, dry conditions could negate the threat

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The early appearance of stripe rust on crops in Oregon and Montana is a warning to Alberta growers that the fungal disease could be a problem this year.

Stripe rust spores travel easily on the wind, which means southwesterlies could bring the problem into Canada given the right conditions.

Mary Burrows, a plant pathologist from Montana State University, said in an April 4 alert that stripe rust had been found in the Flathead and Chouteau regions of Montana and that fungicide application was rec-

ommended in susceptible varieties with signs of the disease.

In southern Alberta, winter wheat has emerged in many areas and spring wheat crops will not be far behind.

“Scout your crops,” said plant pathologist Michael Harding of the Crop Development Centre in Brooks, Alta.

No stripe rust has been reported in Alberta, but weather conditions are favourable for its development.

“This year, things are greening up, the winds are coming from the south quite a bit, or southwest, and temperatures are kind of just right in the sweet spot for stripe rust,” said Harding.

“We are just encouraging people to

be on the look out for it.”

The fungal disease is easily identified by the appearance of yellow stripes parallel to the leaf veins.

Spores in those stripes then rupture the leaf epidermis and are emitted as bright orange dusty material.

Harding said those who have planted winter wheat varieties without resistance to stripe rust should pay particular attention as crops develop.

Wheat can tolerate some infection without yield loss, but it depends on the degree.

“The crop will tolerate some stripe rust,” he said. “You don’t need to necessarily spray the second that you see

it, but you need to be watching it very closely, and if you do see it, you need to be watching frequently.”

Fungicide should be applied in a susceptible crop once rust is seen on five percent of the leaf area.

Harding said stripe rust can move quickly, going from initial infection to spore production within a week.

“It’s kind of an explosive disease that way,” he said.

Resistant winter wheat varieties are fairly robust against stripe rust, he added. Plants may show evidence of rust at the seedling stage, but the resistance genes won’t take noticeable effect until the plant is out of that stage.

Effective fungicides are available but they are preventive, as opposed to a treatment for infection, said Harding.

The key is to scout, determine whether spraying is needed and if so, to apply fungicide at the right time.

“If you let the infection go too far, it’s really difficult to turn the corner on it,” he said.

“So yes, fungicides can be an effective tool for managing. There can be a very significant economic return, but if you get them on too late, the existing infections can’t be cured, and so you have to be ready to apply preventively.” barb.glen@producer.com

Weak currencies bad for prices Devalued money encourages farmers to sell cheap and expand acres, increasing global supply

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Continued currency devaluation among key grain exporters will drive down grain and oilseed prices in 2015-16, says a risk management consultant.

“Prices are going to drift lower,” said Mike O’dea, a consultant with FCStone.

“I really think people need to do something to protect the downside.”

Weaker currencies mean that onfarm prices of corn, soybeans and wheat in countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Argentina and Brazil have not fallen like they have in North America.

International grain and oilseed sales are conducted in U.S. dollars, which means exporters in countries with rapidly depreciating currencies are getting more local dollars each time their currency drops.

It enables farmers in those countries to undercut growers in countries such as Canada where the currency depreciation has been more modest.

“It cheapens their grain up versus ours because they can sell so much cheaper,” O’dea said in an interview following his presentation at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

Europe’s euro is down about 29 percent against the U.S. dollar in the past year, the Brazilian real has fallen 36 percent and the Russian ruble has plummeted by 50 percent. By contrast, the Canadian dollar has fallen 11 percent.

Russian farmers are seeing record prices for their wheat.

“They’re inspired to sell,” said Carsten Bredin, vice-president of grain merchandising with Richardson International.

They will also be selling cheap. Russia recently forward sold new crop wheat to Jordan for US$205 per tonne freight on board at the Black Sea. “They’re going to be pressing the market lower. It means lower values,” said Bredin.

It also means growers in those countries will be planting as much exportable grain as they can to reap the rewards of their plummeting currency.

O’dea said most of the Black Sea wheat was planted last fall. Forty percent of Russia’s crop is spring wheat, but it is grown a long way from the Black Sea ports and there is a strong domestic market for the crop. As a result, little will be exported.

He will be closely following how much wheat is planted in Russia and the Ukraine this fall.

Input costs in those countries will increase because products like fertilizer are priced in U.S. dollars. As well, seeding could also be restricted by the credit crunch, which is particularly bad in Ukraine.

However, when a Russian farmer is receiving 10,000 rubles for a tonne of wheat today versus 7,150 a year ago, it is hard not to imagine a sizeable increase in winter wheat plantings this fall.

O’dea anticipates grain exporters in Ukraine and Russia will be in a hurry to sell wheat off the combine, fearing the government might try to restrict exports, as Moscow did when a rush of exports threatened to short the

U.S. DOLLAR RISES The U.S. dollar index, which measures the value of the greenback against a basket of other world currencies, shows that the dollar has risen more than 20 percent over the past year. It has gained even more against the currencies of important agricultural exporters: euro 29 percent, Brazilian real 36 percent, Russia ruble 50 percent.

domestic market.

The expectation is that the government will eliminate the current export tax as of June 1 if Russia has a good harvest. O’dea believes there will be a big flush of exports in the July through September period.

It’s why growers in North America need to prepare for a downside in the grain market.

Excess global supply will also continue to drive prices lower. Wheat has a bearish carryout-to-use ratio of 28 percent.

“Wheat prices are going to go down, in my opinion,” said O’dea.

He believes corn futures are head-

ing toward $3 per bushel if there is another good U.S. crop this year, although he said U.S. yields have historically declined after a record harvest.

The soybean carryout-to-use ratio is also bearish at 31 percent, which has O’dea predicting sub-$8 per bu. futures prices for the crop.

He advised growers to keep an eye on the July-November soybean futures spread, which was at a 14 cent inverse last week. If it switches to a carry position, that is bearish for soybean futures. sean.pratt@producer.com

A new grain market information service is focusing on regional price averages on the Prairies rather than prices at port.

John De Pape, a grain marketing consultant working with the Alberta Wheat Commission to develop a crop data and pr ice re por ting website, said information on regional prices is useful because it provides a “character” of the market and allows farmers to compare their area to other parts of the Prairies.

For instance, De Pape recently collected information on canola basis levels in different parts of Western Canada. In the second week of April, the average canola basis in Manitoba was -$14.32 per tonne but nearly -$49.91 per tonne in northeastern Saskatchewan.

“What caught my eye was, ‘excuse me, $49 (per tonne) under and you (Manitoba) are at $14 under.’ That’s a $35 spread,” De Pape told a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Portage la Prairie in mid-April.

“I think that’s pretty good information…. If I’m sitting up there in northeastern Saskatchewan and I see there is a $40 premium to haul down to somewhere in Manitoba, I’m on the phone talking to … different elevators (in Manitoba)…. I feel badly for the guys up in northeast Saskatchewan because they have few options and that’s why the price is so bad. But they also don’t have the information.”

The federal government contributed nearly $750,000 in late January to help the Alberta Wheat Commission build a grain market information service. De Pape, who runs FarmCo, a grain marketing consulting firm, is leading the effort to establish a Price & Data Quotes website at www.pdqinfo.ca.

The site now posts prices for red spring wheat, Canada Prairie Spring wheat, durum and canola in the Peace region, northern Alberta, southern Alberta, northwestern Saskatchewan, southwestern Saskatchewan, northeastern Saskatchewan, southeastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

MARKETS » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The posted prices are the average for the particular region, based on grain companies’ reporting of cash bids.

De Pape said the initiative is emphasizing regional averages rather than port prices because the relationship between a port price and a cash bid in central Saskatchewan, for example, can be confusing and not particularly helpful.

“I have some serious concerns about reporting port prices…. To ask for them (grain firms) to report what they’re selling for, I don’t think is going to get you (the farmer) what you want,” he said.

“If someone sold grain today, f.o.b.

Vancouver on April 16, it’s probably for June, July or August shipment….

How do you draw a straight line to that (price) and today’s elevator price?... It’s not impossible, but it’s difficult.”

De Pape said a company that buys grain in Saskatchewan may maintain ownership of the grain beyond the Port of Vancouver.

“There’s not a lot of business that goes on in Vancouver,” he said.

INFORMATION IS POWER

JOHN DE PAPE GRAIN MARKET CONSULTANT

“Viterra will buy from inland country (in Western Canada) and sell it (elsewhere)…. They’re not transferring ownership in Vancouver, it’s just going through there. You might as well pick Golden, B.C. It’s just a point that it goes through.”

A few producers have told De Pape that regional price averages aren’t helpful because they can phone a few elevators to get a sense of grain bids in their area.

De Pape said knowing the prices in a small area doesn’t provide a perspective on the broader cash grain market. As well, producers need daily information to understand trends and market direction.

“I’ve had guys tell me this: I have to

By collecting price data from several regions across the Prairies, the PDQInfo.ca website hopes to help crop farmers be more informed marketers. These canola basis levels gathered April 10 could signal a potential opportunity for a farmer in northeastern Saskatchewan, where basis is wide, to truck his canola to Manitoba, where the basis is much better.

“I know some grain buyers are fed up with all the phone calls.”

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 23, 2015

The website also plans to provide information on wheat protein premiums and grade discounts.

De Pape said a farmer who has No. 2 wheat with 12 percent protein needs to know the price for No. 2 wheat with 12 percent protein.

“Why shouldn’t you know that?

Why shouldn’t you know what the protein spreads are?”

Not all grain companies are participating in the project. De Pape said several companies do not post prices on their website because they prefer to share prices directly with their customers.

De Pape didn’t say what percentage of grain firms are on board, but he said the prices posted right now on pdqinfo.ca are useful.

“If you’re asking if they’re relevant, I think they are,” he said, responding to a question following his speech in Portage la Prairie.

“As relevant as the prices that they (grain companies) have on their websites.”

De Pape is collaborating with the Western Grain Elevators Association to increase the rate of participation and incorporate as many bids as possible into the price averages.

“They have ideas and we have ideas and we’re trying to find common ground,” De Pape said.

“They haven’t said no…. They just want to make sure it’s done right.”

WGEA executive director Wade Sobkowich said talks are progressing to provide the necessary data for average regional prices.

“We are working co-operatively with him to try and sort through this and get him information that meets the … (agriculture) minister’s objectives.”

De Pape said they want a fully functional website by Aug. 1, in time for the new crop year.

KAP president Dan Mazier asked if the federal government will require grain companies to report prices and other relevant information.

De Pape said he prefers to collaborate with the grain industry, but regulation remains an option.

“It’s a stick that the minister has, but he’s reluctant to use it,” De Pape said. “But in all honesty, if we fail in getting voluntary compliance, I’ll have to make that recommendation to the minister.” robert.arnason@producer.com

CANADIAN QUALITY

Be wary of Black Sea competition, wheat growers told Canada must remain vigilant and deliver consistent quality, says official

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Canadian wheat industry is ignoring at its peril a mounting quality challenge from the Black Sea region, says the CWB. North America has this outdated notion that wheat from Ukraine and Russia is inferior, said Neil Townsend, d irect o r of C W B Marke t Research.

“This is a good quality wheat that’s almost better and more desirable in some cases than Canadian or American wheat,” he said.

It has excellent extraction rates and it is dry wheat so customers are not paying for water. That is why Black Sea wheat is making inroads in markets like Nigeria, Mexico and Peru.

“This is going to be an uphill battle for Canada and the U.S. going forward,” said Townsend.

Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, touched on the same theme during his presentation at the Canadian Global Crops Symposium. “ T h e g l o b a l w h e at ma rk e t i s becoming increasingly competitive and Canada must remain vigilant,” he said.

However, in an interview following his presentation, Dahl dismissed the Black Sea threat.

“They are competing with us on price but that’s not the part of the market that we want to occupy,.”

Dahl said the Black Sea region is capable of delivering a vessel of top quality wheat, but it cannot do it consistently like Canada, which is what customers like Japan require.

“Frankly, that’s why the transportation troubles we had in 2013 and 2014 were so problematic because it bit into that reputation and understanding that Canada is a consistent deliverer of quality,” he said.

Team Canada was formed in an effort to repair that sullied reputa-

tion. Representatives of Cereals Canada, the Canadian International Grains Institute, the Canadian Grain Commission, provincial crop commissions, exporters and farmers visited more than 20 countries between mid-November and mid-December 2014.

“It was a little bit of a marathon,” said Dahl.

They spoke to customers about the formation of Cereals Canada, changes to the commission’s vessel certification process, improvements to the variety registration system and the tightening of quality parameters for the Canada Western Red Spring and Canada Prairie Spring classes of wheat.

Transportation concerns Team Canada also solicited feedback from customers.

“The No. 1 question all across the world was, will the transportation problems of 2013 and 2014 reoccur,” said Dahl.

The team explained how the federal government implemented mandatory weekly grain targets for the railways and highlighted the ongoing review of the Canada Transportation Act. “Customers were reassured by that,” he said.

Buyers also wanted to know what happened to the gluten strength of Canada’s CWRS wheat.

Members of the team explained t hat g l u t e n s t re n g t h d e c l i n e d because of a combination of poor weather conditions and the popularity of varieties that offered good agronomic traits but lower gluten strength.

Buyers acknowledged that gluten strength is on the rise again despite unfavourable harvest conditions last year. That is because growers have already switched to varieties that offer better end-use quality charac-

teristics, said Dahl.

The industry is also tightening quality parameters for the CWRS and CPS classes of wheat.

Some customers wanted to know how Canadian producers make planting decisions.

“If they’re not growing as much durum, why don’t you just tell them to grow more?” one customer wanted to know.

A farmer member of Team Canada explained how growers do not take their marching orders from government or industry. Instead, they plant crops based on maximizing farm profits.

There were also concerns about exportable supplies of this year’s No. 1 and No. 2 CWRS wheat and No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 durum.

Fifty to 60 percent of last year’s CWRS crop made the top two grades, which is down from the long-term average of 77 percent. Only 13 percent of the durum crop made the top two grades, down from the 10-year average of 58 percent.

A Canadian exporter was able to assure a Japanese customer that with carryover from the 2013-14 crop there would be ample supplies of top quality wheat to meet Japan’s needs.

Dahl said there were not a lot of questions about the demise of the single desk for wheat and barley.

“It’s very safe to say that the lingering uncertainty over the deregulation of the Canadian wheat market has largely evaporated,” he said.

Dahl said the overall impression he got from customers was that “Canada is back” after a brief hiatus because of weather and transportation problems.

He said the Team Canada approach to customer relations proved highly successful.

“This will continue,” said Dahl. sean.pratt@producer.com

GRAIN MARKETING

Saudi, G3 link yields cash, growing market LOSING GROUND

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. has been the silent investor in G3 Global Grain Group, which has bought 50.1 percent of CWB. The Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. (SALIC) owns SALIC Canada, which is a minority owner of G3. Bunge is the majority owner. The actual percentage split of the partners has not been made public.

SALIC was created to spearhead Saudi Arabia’s agricultural investments abroad.

Two developments have spurred Saudi Arabia to boost foreign agricultural investments.

It decided in 2008 to end its 30-year program to reach self-sufficiency in wheat and other crops because the required irrigation development was rapidly depleting the kingdom’s underground water. Wheat production is to end next year.

However, as it turned increasingly to imported crops and meat, the international market was going through a period of shortages and wildly fluctuating prices.

The King Abdullah Initiative for Agricultural Investment Abroad was created with the broad goal of investing Saudi money to increase global food production and ensuring that some or all of the food, depending on the project, will go to Saudi Arabia.

SALIC is one of the tools created to carry out this policy. Its website says it is focused on the major grains, soybeans, edible oil, sugar, green fodder and red meat.

It is focused on opportunities in mature agricultural economies, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France, as well as the South American exporters, the Balkan states of Eastern Europe and, for rice, India and Pakistan.

It is hard to see how the investment in G3 would increase grain production in Canada. It is more likely a window into the Canadian grain industry.

SALIC’s position in G3 could help it buy Canadian grain, but it will have to bid competitively to get farmers to deal with it.

Historically, Saudi Arabia was at times a major buyer of Canadian feed barley. It peaked in 2007-08 at 1.4 million tonnes but then bought nothing the next year.

It imported almost no wheat until 2008-09, when it bought 1.275 million tonnes, with Canada supplying the lion’s share.

It has increased wheat imports since then, but Canada has lost market share, mostly to European countries.

It would be good to rebuild market share there. The kingdom is wealthy. Its population is only a little more than 30 million but is growing at three percent a year. It

Saudi Arabia has been an occasional buyer of Canadian feed barley for decades but only recently began to import wheat. Canada initially was a major supplier but recently has lost market share to European countries.

Saudi wheat imports (million tonnes): 2009-10 1.907 2010-11 1.739 2011-12 2.904 2012-13 1.921 2013-14 3.429 2014-15 3.550* Saudi wheat imports from Canada (tonnes): 2009-10 619,400 2010-11 445,500 2011-12 690,450 2012-13 299,250 2013-14 378,000 * forecast Source: USDA, Statistics Canada | WP GRAPHIC

should be a good entry point to other Gulf states such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait, which also have young, fast growing populations.

The other good thing about Saudi involvement is that they have cash.

Of course, Bunge also has lots of capital and it will likely want to use CWB to help keep its network of recently expanded canola crushing plants well supplied.

As Ed White’s stories on the deal say, it was access to money that was a key attraction for the CWB privatization team when looking for a partner.

To be a true competitor in the Canadian grain trade, CWB needs more elevators, particularly in Alberta, where it now has no presence.

It also needs a west coast terminal or at the minimum part ownership in a terminal.

These things could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

That was a concern I had about the Farmers of North America proposal to buy CWB. It had the attraction of making the CWB a farmer-owned company, but could it have acquired the money needed to flesh out the CWB and at the same time build its nitrogen fertilizer plant?

The Prairies are littered with agricultural companies that failed because they were under-capitalized.

G3 has so far put up little cash for the CWB assets. The $250 million included the value of Bunge’s export grain terminal in Quebec City and a handful of eastern grain elevators that are now rolled into CWB. Some of the cash will also pay down CWB debt incurred as it built and bought grain handling assets over the past two years.

Future building plans will require new commitments from G3. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

Expensive identity preserved grain fails to attract buyers End of the CWB monopoly did not spark more IP sales, due to the hefty premium charged for handling

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Carsten Bredin thought the end of single desk grain marketing in Canada would be the beginning of a new era of identity preserved sales of wheat and durum.

He was wrong.

“That was my expectation and we were excited by that,” said the vicepresident of grain merchandising with Richardson International.

“For many, many years we didn’t have the ability to provide what our customers were asking for. We didn’t have control of that marketing system.”

Bredin was convinced that the end of the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly on western Canadian wheat and barley exports in 2012 would lead to more identify preservation business for grain companies.

Customers had expressed an interest in contracting for specific varieties of wheat, and he thought it would be easier to co-ordinate now that grain companies were bypassing the CWB middleman and dealing directly with customers and growers.

However, the premium that customers would have to pay to disrupt a bulk grain handling system tasked with exporting 48 million tonnes of

“Velocity of movement has been more important than extracting that small value for a niche product.

CARSTEN BREDIN RICHARDSON INTERNATIONAL

grain, oilseeds, pulses and special crops a year is simply too hefty for many to afford.

There are exceptions, such as British bakery Warburtons, which still contracts specific varieties with Ca na d i a n g row e r s t o ma k e i t s bread.

“It’s the (United Kingdom), it’s not Asia. They can afford to do that and they have built their business on it,” said Bredin.

“But there are not a lot of customers out there that are willing to pay that type of premium.”

John Buboltz, vice-president of merchandising and transportation with Cargill, agreed.

“IP programs have become smaller and smaller,” he told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

“How do we move bulk commodities as efficiently as possible? That has been the focus.”

Bredin said the problem with identify preservation programs is

that they interrupt a grain handling and transportation system designed to move bulk commodities.

“If you do multiple IP crops, you’re just going to congest the system and you’re always stopping and starting, stopping and starting,” he said.

“When you’re dealing with a (No.) 2 red 13 (percent) or you’re dealing with a canola or a pea or a barley export program, you can push quite a bit of volume in several shipments as opposed to one hold on a ship, which is typically what an IP program is.”

For example, let’s say west coast ports moved one million tonnes of bulk grain per month.

Bredin believes total monthly exports would shrink to 750,000 tonnes due to reduced efficiencies if grain companies decided to ship 500,000 tonnes of identity preserved grain.

“How do you get rid of the other 250,000 tonnes?” said Bredin.

It’s why identity preserved programs come with a hefty premium and why most customers think the quality of wheat and durum they receive from Canada is sufficient.

“Velocity of movement has been more important than extracting that small value for a niche product,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT CANADIAN FED CATTLE UP Western Canadian fed steers set a new record high last week with the Canfax average at $201.46 per hundredweight, up $1.57.

That was $56 higher than the same time last year.

Heifers averaged $199.76.

The Canadian market did better than the United States, where cash cattle in Kansas and Texas at the end of the week sold at US$160-$161 per cwt., down $2 from the previous week.

This weakness in the U.S. and recent strength in the Canadian dollar could limit further price strength in Canada.

Most of the cattle marketed these days are yearlings, but more fed calves are entering the mix and fetching prices comparable to the yearlings.

Packers appear to have immediate slaughter needs covered. Most of the cattle traded last week were scheduled for delivery the second week of May. Canadian packers were outbidding U.S. packers, whose bids for Canadian cattle worked back to the mid C$190s on a live basis.

Western Canadian heifer slaughter totalled slightly more than 19,000 head two weeks ago, the largest volume seen this year.

Weekly heifer slaughter hadn’t topped 19,000 head since last May. Cattle are grading exceptionally well. Canadian AAA + Prime as a percent of all A grades was more than 70 percent in recent weeks, setting new record highs.

Export volumes from Canada should slow now that the AlbertaNebraska cash-to-cash basis is strengthening.

Western Canadian fed slaughter totalled 33,452 head, which was the second most this year.

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | APRIL 23, 2015

OILSEEDS

Market-ready supplies are manageable.

COWS RISE Slaughter cow supplies are moderate, and grilling season demand for hamburger is strong.

D1, D2 cows ranged $143-$158 to average $151.17, up $3, and D3 cows ranged $120-$142 to average $129.50, steady with the previous week.

Rail cows rose range $281-$286 per cwt. delivered.

Slaughter bull prices rose more than $2 to average $170.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to April 11 rose 28 percent to 5,602 head.

Canadian non-fed exports for the four day week ending April 4 slipped to 4,678 head.

Exports this year are down 26 percent.

FEEDER RISE Prices surged higher last week, even with a large volume at auction as farmers delivered ahead of the busy planting season.

Feedlot and grass buyers are now procuring a diverse variety of cattle with less emphasis on weight and more focus on volume and profit margins.

Steers rose $1.67 on average and heifers climbed $2.07.

Light calves traded mixed on varied quality while 400-700 pound stockers saw prices firm $2-$3. Feeders heavier than 700 lb. were steady to higher.

Strong demand for 500-600 lb. calves has maintained a historically wide calf-to-feeder spread, while the steer-to-heifer price spread is comparable with last year.

Alberta auction volumes more than doubled to 32,342 head, which was up five percent from the same week last year.

Volumes this year are down 12 percent at 399,241 head.

Weekly feeder exports to April 4 fell 20 percent to 14,443 head.

Feeder exports are up nine percent this year at 157,449 head.

The demands of seeding will likely reduce the number of cattle at auction in coming weeks. That should support prices, but a strong loonie and a weaker Chicago futures market would pressure cash feeder prices.

BEEF STRONGER U.S. boxed beef traded mixed with Choice up US$1.99 at $260.38 per c w t. a n d S e l e c t d ow n $ 1 . 4 8 at $250.97. The Choice price was only $3 lower than the record high set in mid-January.

Weekly Canadian cutouts to April 4 saw AAA rise C$5.68 and AA climb $12.38.

The Canadian March consumer price index said the year-over- year increase in beef price was 17.8 percent, outpacing pork at 11.8 percent and poultry at 3.5 percent.

The CPI for beef is up 1.4 percent compared to February, while pork is down .1 percent and poultry is down .3 percent.

Chinese soybean imports set to soar Excess supply could weigh on market BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China’s monthly imports of soybeans in May, June and July are expected to rise to between 6.5 million and 7.5 million tonnes.

It would be an increase of at least 45 percent from March.

The imports will mostly come from South America and could lead to excess supply in China that would reduce demand next fall when the large U.S. crop is ready for export .

Domestic demand for soy meal is likely to stay weak for at least the next three months, said Guo Feng, general manager with the state-owned Chinatex Edible Oil Co. Ltd. China impor ted 4.49 million tonnes of soybeans in March, official customs data showed.

Guo said the subdued demand for soymeal in the coming months stemmed from reduced consumption at hog farms.

“Hog stocks have fallen 20 percent, which is in addition to a decrease of sow stocks. We look bearish over soymeal demand in coming months,” Guo said.

“With soy imports seen up by 40 percent or even 50 percent, the soymeal demand even in the peak consuming season may not increase by more than 15 percent from the level in March or April.”

The hog breeding industry is the major consumer of soymeal, a protein-rich feed ingredient.

However, China’s hog stocks have fallen to their lowest level in a decade, and the number of sows has fallen for more than 18 months in a row.

The weak demand could increase the country’s soybean stocks by as much as 3.5 million tonnes by the end of July, said Guo. A slow breeding recovery in the world’s largest pork consumer could hurt China’s demand for soybean in the fourth quarter of the year when the United States, the world’s second largest exporter, is selling its new crop.

Hog breeders suffered their worst losses in three years last year following the overall economic slowdown, said one analyst with China National Grain and Oils Information Centre.

Packers will need to push pork prices higher to mend their margins.

Restrictions on U.S. poultry exports because of avian flu threaten to increase the amount of low cost chicken and turkey available to compete against pork.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$47.50-$48.00 per hundredweight April 17, up from $45-$45.50 April 10.

U.S. hogs averaged $61.71 on a carcass basis April 17, up from $60.10 April 10.

Slaughter was 2.03 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.10-$4.15 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs.

CRAIG’S VIEW

C3 GLOBAL GRAIN GROUP

Link to international grain firm may give CWB competitive edge

T

he sale of the CWB to G3 Global Grain Group will help deliver on some of the promises contained in the Conservative government’s Marketing Freedom agenda.

However, it is still not clear if the company, in the long term, will bring a new business attitude to the Canadian grain handling sector.

Eliminating the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly was supposed to cause grain prices to “respond better to market demand, giving farmers the opportunity to achieve the premium prices they deserve,” according to a government backgrounder on the legislation.

We are still in the transitional phase from monopoly to open market.

The line elevator companies, the new CWB and other companies are competing for farmers’ grain, and it is easier to sell directly to American buyers, but the wide basis levels farmers endured in the last two years indicate that the level of competition in the market is still inadequate.

The entry of G3 Global Grain Group, a joint venture of Bunge and SALIC Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co., tightly links the CWB to an international grain company with deep pockets.

Bunge, which started in 1818, operates around the world as a grain, oilseed, sugar and fertilizer trader, handler and processor. It had sales of almost $58 billion last year and a net profit of almost $4 billion.

SALIC’s involvement provides CWB with access to capital and the Saudi Arabian market.

The oil-rich desert kingdom imports most of its food. This could give CWB a competitive edge selling grain to Saudi Arabia and the rapidly growing population of the Gulf region.

The mere association with Bunge and SALIC should make the CWB more competitive.

However, they have a plan of building a coastto-coast grain handling network.

This deal gives CWB size, access to capital

and international reach, giving it the potential to become a more equal competitor to the likes of Richardson, Viterra and Cargill. Increased competition should narrow basis levels.

CWB retains its Winnipeg head office, its price pooling offerings and a system that allows farmers to build equity in the company by doing business with it. If it is profitable and produces dividends, then farmer equity holders will get money. If the company becomes more profitable, presumably the value of the farmers’ equity will become more valuable.

However, this deal also holds disappointments.

The farmer trust will hold 49.9 percent of the company, but it gets only one seat on the board. It seems little more than window dressing.

CWB will operate as a private company, so there will likely be little publicly available information on its finances except obliquely through Bunge’s financial reports.

Also, G3 can after seven years buy out farmer equity held in the trust at market value, raising the possibility of no direct farmer ownership or influence in the future.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz can say he didn’t kill the CWB. The name should carry on for a long time, although the company is nothing like the old monopoly and those who treasured the single desk feel cheated.

Taxpayers might too. Ottawa provided hundreds of millions of dollars to CWB during the transition but gets nothing from the sale because G3’s $250 million commitment stays in the CWB. History will judge Ritz’s labours. If the new CWB is a disruptive force rebalancing the market to farmers’ favor, he will lionized. If the company is just another “me too” player in a status quo market, his star will be tarnished.

CWB OWNERSHIP

It’s the next to last step of the biggest transfer of wealth away from farmers that this country has ever seen.

PROMISE OF GROWTH

Ontario launches trade mission to boost agricultural sector CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

O

ntario premier Kathleen Wynne issued a challenge to the province’s agricultural industry in October 2013: double its growth rate and create 120,000 new jobs in Ontario by 2020.

She said the province should become one of the top five revenue generators in North America for food and beverage manufacturing while doubling its agri-food exports.

At the time, Wynne said the agrifood sector in the province had grown by more than 10 percent since 2002.

It was a bold move, one that certainly caught the attention of those involved in an industry that contributed $34 billion to the province’s economy and employed 740,000

people in 2013.

The challenge still stands a year and a half later, despite more than a few hurdles.

First, there’s the closure or downsizing of several food processing plants that put people out of work: Heinz in Leamington, Kelloggs in London and Smucker’s and Lance Canada Ltd. In total, 105 plants closed in Ontario from 2008-14.

The closures caused some to pause and wonder about the future of food processing in Ontario, but, as CBC News reported in March, a study from Western University’s Ivy Business school found the sector was still viable.

It found that the impact of the closures had been mitigated by 105 openings and plant investments.

Labour is also a pressing concern for certain sectors, particularly the province’s mushroom industry. Mushroom growers were hard hit by an April 1 deadline that saw more than 500 foreign workers forced to go home.

Mushrooms Canada has estimated that the loss of labour is a $300 million

$300 million ESTIMATED COST TO THE MUSHROOM INDUSTRY CAUSED BY LOSS OF FOREIGN WORKERS hit to the industry, while growers have said productivity at their farms will also go down.

Meat processors and slaughterhouses are already wary of a fastapproaching July 1 deadline that would tighten the cap on the number of foreign workers allowed per facility.

Then there are the ongoing trade challenges.

A single case of BSE in Alberta in February triggered trade restrictions on Canadian beef from several countries, among them Taiwan and China.

The restriction have had an impact on Ontario beef producers.

China is Ontario’s second largest trading partner after the United States, which is a major market for provincial beef exports from northern Ontario.

Representatives from Beef Farmers of Ontario are currently in China on a trade mission with agriculture minister Jeff Leal and immigration minister Michael Chan. Twenty delegates from a cross-section of agriculture sectors are on the trip, which runs from April 16-25.

In a technical briefing with reporters before the trip, Beef Farmers of Ontario president Bob Gordanier, who is on the trip, said the goal is to strengthen the sector’s relationship with China.

“As wealth and income grows in China, there will be a greater demand for high quality proteins,” he said.

China’s ban on Canadian exports wasn’t the only issue expected to overshadow the trip, which is the first of its kind in Ontario. An ongoing outbreak of H5 avian influenza in south-

western Ontario was also expected to be raised. One case of H5N2 has been confirmed on a commercial turkey farm near Woodstock, Ont. A second confirmed case of H5 avian flu was found on a broiler breeder farm 25 kilometres from the infected turkey farm April 18. As of April 20, the N strain on that farm had not been identified. Thirty farms in Ontario are under quarantine because of the outbreak.

The industry is supply managed, which leads to limited exports of poultry and poultry products, but several countries and regions, including Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan, have placed varying export restrictions.

Ontario poultry, poultry product and egg exports totalled $212 million last year, accounting for 1.7 per cent of the province’s agricultural exports.

Leal has said he remains optimistic about being able to meet the premier’s challenge, which is an essential ingredient in a task no one said would be easy.

WAR ON SCIENCE

Pastures play major role in carbon capture

Public losing its trust in science

CATTLE CALL

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK ROSS MACDONALD

J

ose Graziano Da Silva, United Nations’ director general of the Food and Agriculture Organization, is a big believer in the importance of soil.

“We need healthy soils to achieve our food security and nutrition goals, to fight climate change and to ensure overall sustainable development,” he said.

“You can count on FAO’s commitment and active participation in this effort.”

As a testament to this statement, the 68th UN General Assembly declared 2015 the International Year of Soils, a symbolic designation intended to highlight the importance of soil stewardship and the cornerstone role it plays in all discussions related to food, food security and the sustainable production of food.

Although many of the images displayed on the UN website relate to annual cropping of valued soils, a recent article that Blain Hjertaas wrote in Saskatchewan Cattleman’s Connection highlighted the crucial role that grazing livestock play in maintaining and improving soil biology.

Much of the article is dedicated to carbon capture within grazing systems.

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

W The discussion about soil’s importance often relates to cropland, but pastureland is also important. | FILE PHOTO The carbon capture is a result of plant photosynthesis and grazing management of those plants to encourage residual plant material to be incorporated into the soil profile, thus building soil’s organic matter content.

The key building block of the organic matter is carbon.

Hjertaas claims that each acre in a recent project negated the carbon footprint of .6 Canadians. This project and others that will follow are good news stories for Canadian agriculture.

Too often, the commentary surrounding greenhouse gas reduction criticizes cattle production as a large contributor to the problem, but a recently published book, Defending Beef, challenges the original source

of that criticism.

Interestingly enough, that source, according to the book’s author, Nicolette Hahn Niman, is the FAO, which erroneously included emissions estimates from deforestation in South American rain forests for soybean production.

Niman explains the irrelevance of the estimation and suggests that cattle production in the United States uses little imported soybeans as cattle feed.

As a result, deforestation-related emission estimates do not apply to North American cattle production.

Niman uses her own California ranch and related cattle production methods as an example of the misleading FAO information, but many of the arguments also apply to Cana-

dian producers, especially given that the vast majority of cattle diets in this country comprise locally grown forages, which can be managed to capture carbon.

It appears that Canadian cattle production may be an extremely important factor in supporting soil health and corresponding greenhouse gas reduction.

This subject clearly warrants more investigation.

It is imperative that we challenge local and global assumptions to better understand where the local opportunities exist to demonstrate our capacity to be better than the global average and lead by example.

GRAIN HANDLING

It’s time to redirect CWB passion to rail service HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

ivergent opinions remain, but the passion has faded from the CWB debate.

For most prairie grain farmers, CWB will now be out of sight and out of mind. With the privatization to Bunge and a Saudi Arabian investment company, the organization at the centre of so much debate for so many years is now just another grain company with a relatively small number of delivery points.

There’s now another competitive bidder to consider for producers in reasonable proximity to the country terminals that CWB has bought or building, but most producers will be too far from a CWB facility for it to be

a viable delivery option.

Some of the high value specialty crops travel long distances by truck, but the major grains are typically delivered within an hour of where they’re produced unless there are compelling reasons to truck the crop farther.

The $5 per tonne CWB equity is an incentive, but the difference in bids from one company to another is often more than a $5 a tonne. As well, $5 doesn’t pay for much additional trucking, particularly when it’s a promise of money at some point in the future rather than cash at sale.

Any passion to patronize CWB facilities is unlikely. Those who were fervent supporters of the old monopoly are the ones most likely to believe farmers have been shafted by the privatization. They won’t be eager to deal with a new entity over which farmers have no control.

Producers who are happy about marketing freedom focus on economics first when deciding where to market grain. A privatized CWB will have to earn their business.

More new facilities can be expected

because of the Bunge money backing the operation, but it’s doubtful the elevator network will ever surpass even the smaller players such as Paterson Grain and Parrish & Heimbecker P & H is expanding without nearly the fanfare bestowed on CWB. The Winnipeg-based, family owned grain company bought the iconic Weyburn Inland Terminal and is building a new facility near Biggar, Sask.

CWB does represent a new competitor vying for the business of producers, which is a welcome development. It would be especially useful to have another company develop a west coast port terminal.

However, the industry will clearly remain dominated by Richardson, Viterra and Cargill, which are also spending a considerable amount on capital projects.

Unfortunately, more and better country terminals will do little to address ongoing problems with grain transportation. Country terminals already have the capacity to load far more rail cars every week than they are able to procure, and port

terminals spend a significant percentage of time without cars to unload.

With movement constrained by railway capacity, buyers big and small have trouble meeting export sales commitments. Competition is muted and grain prices suffer.

Since they have a captive market, the railways provide the best value to their shareholders by keeping their investment at a minimum. There’s no use investing in surge capacity or having any more locomotives or employees than absolutely necessary. Business will not be lost from sub-standard service.

The future of CWB has been a dominant issue for most of the past decade. Perhaps it’s time for farmers to turn their attention to an overriding issue that can be a unifying cause rather than one that’s divisive: the issue of railway performance.

With the Canada Transportation Act under review, this is a rare opportunity to enact meaningful changes.

hen did the war on science start?

When I was a boy, growing up on the farm, we learned at home that science was our future.

The green revolution was putting an end to starvation and hybrids were the future of grain farming. That technology eventually got stuck on corn, but we could see the potential.

Growing up, I knew vaccines were keeping us from the plagues of polio, whooping cough and measles, which had killed and maimed the generations before us. They were so widely accepted as safe, or much safer than not having it, that every child was treated.

In those days, the names and the faces of local folks that were infected and often died were burned into every parent’s memories. Children’s grave markers prove the effectiveness of science. My predecessors had first-hand knowledge of vaccines’ benefits. Mine is part of the culture.

Convincing my kids of our collected wisdom is a challenge.

In the early days of tuberculosis vaccines, more than 100 children died from a contaminated dose of the BCG vaccine in one German town. But that didn’t stop vaccinations. Science saves lives and they all knew it first-hand.

Plant and livestock breeding are products of science. So is precision ag. The profitability they bring has allowed farmers to produce more with fewer chemicals, costs and risks, both physically and financially.

It has fed millions more than otherwise might have been the case.

Science isn’t a set of books. It is the process that we can use to decide whether we can trust something.

Most of us choose to trust things we know to be effective, either first-hand or second-hand from our elders or teachers. They are trusted sources.

A paper published in the late 1990s in the British medical journal Lancet tied vaccines and autism together. It was later discredited and withdrawn, but fuelled by the new and still trusted medium of the internet, it started a firestorm of first world parents refusing herd immunity programs for their kids.

Those parents didn’t have first- or second-hand knowledge of whooping cough, measles and polio.

When it comes to genetic modification, pesticides and food safety, most North Americans are more than two generations removed from the farm.

And maybe a science-based education is lacking in our culture, along with a body of trusted sources. michael.raine@producer.com

Re: “Proper animal transport guidelines good investment for livestock producers,” by Barbara Duckworth (WP April 2).

As a livestock driver, I took offence to some of the comments.

I drove truck many years ago and have since been involved with the transportation of livestock from Western Canada to Ontario and Quebec, and then transporting cull cows from Quebec back to Ontario for close to 20 years.

In the article, Karen SchwartzkopfGenswein of Ag Canada mentions cancer, eyes, weak or lame, and bad

udders. As far as our company is concerned, my drivers are instructed to not load any of these animals, and if an issue comes up they have the shipper call my office.

We are a long-haul carrier of livestock. My drivers take pride in how they handle cattle and how the cattle are delivered to a farm, a producer or directly to the plant. We have 25 cattle drivers and the majority of them have five years or more experience. Some have more than 20 years.

Schwartzkopf-Genswein also mentioned bedding in the trailers. We put a minimum of 25 bales of straw in our trailers. In wintertime there will be 30 or more. When we are loading calves in the fall from sales yards we have a minimum of 30 bales and will, in

most cases, put on another three to four bales at Thunder Bay to freshen up the trailer.

Thunder Bay is where we stop to feed and water cattle on the way to Ontario or Quebec. We take a minimum of 10 hours feeding as we have Hours of Service Rules we have to follow. In many cases we are stopped 12 to 16 hours.

She also mentioned –30 C temperatures, and yes, the past two years it has been extremely cold, but we board in the trailer according to the weather conditions. The same as in hot weather — most drivers will drive in daytime.

When it is extremely hot they will feed and water at Thunder Bay for minimum of 10 hours. When they

have to stop they will try and stop in areas that may be close to lakes along the Trans Canada, especially from the Manitoba border to Ontario, as in most cases it is cooler.

She also mentioned the 28-hour rule in the U.S. You can travel a long way in the U.S. compared to travelling through Ontario at an average of 47-48 m.p.h, since there is a big difference in the roads in the U.S. I know the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is talking about changing the rules, and I know we currently have 48 hours without feed and water.

I have no problem if they were to say 36 hours maximum with livestock on the trailer, but if we follow the 28-hour rule in Canada like the U.S., it will stop most of the movement to Ontario and Quebec, as we, in some cases, would have to feed and water two times to get them delivered.

(The article also said, “Drivers in a large survey reported that animals were kept waiting for as long as 15 hours on a trailer at a border crossing.

The longest wait to be offloaded at a packing plant was 12 hours.”)

I do not believe the part as far as waiting at a plant in Canada for up to 12 hours. We go into plants here with livestock and the most we have ever waited with fat cattle on is maybe an hour.

If that was an issue, CFIA would be all over someone in regards to scheduling into the plants. There has been the odd time that if a plant broke down you might have to wait a couple hours, but I know last year that happened and they sent us to a stockyards to unload before two hours waiting.

The code is out of date, but there are still lots of drivers who do care about animal welfare as part of their job. Within our company, if you don’t want to take care of them and learn from our mentors and older drivers, then you will not be working here.

It does not matter if it is cull cows, fat cattle, calves off the cows in the fall, 300 lb. started Holstein calves in -30 C or 30 C, we can transport them safely to their destination. I think also some responsibility has to fall on the shipper. He needs to sign the shipping manifest to say he is responsible for livestock before the driver picks them up.

We offer a training school and we do have driver trainers who also train drivers to haul livestock.

These are some of my concerns.

Randy Scott, Wroxeter, Ont.

NO CREDIBILITY To the Editor: It was laughable to read federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz stating, “I cannot stress enough that amendments to the plant breeder’s rights act allow for farmers to retain the right to save, clean, and store seed for their own operations.”

Safety of organics prompts fierce debate on Producer’s website PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

C

anada’s food safety system was a popular topic on Western Producer social media channels this past week, thanks largely to the refreshingly candid comments of a University of Saskatchewan professor interviewed

by WP reporter Dan Yates.

In conjunction with World Health Day, the WHO released a study — From farm to plate, make food safe — which found 582 million cases of food-borne illnesses in 2010, resulting in 351,000 deaths.

That’s how Yates came to be interviewing Stuart Smyth, a U of S profes-

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE CWB directors meeting and less than three minutes later into that meeting had to recant, and state that he had actually been invited to a CWB directors’ meeting but had refused to attend.

The minister also states, “the legislation has the support of all relevant farm organizations.” Ironic that The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, Keystone Agricultural Producers, and the Alberta Federation of Agriculture were not even mentioned. The “relevant” farm groups Ritz mentioned were his usual puppets, some of which receive funds from the federal government and others which have industry representatives dominating their boards.

Aside from Ritz, does anyone else believe his cheerleaders are really farmer organizations?

The minister fails to mention that farmer-saved seed was enshrined in the previous act as a right, but now it will be dealt with as a privilege in a not-yet-written regulation. This regulation can be changed by the minister without a review of the Act. Do you think the seed companies’ lobby will be trying to accomplish this?

The minister also conveniently forgets to mention that end-point royalties, which are the fees farmers may have to pay under this new legislation when they sell their seed to an elevator company, will raise farmers’ costs. Farmers can expect to lose control of their seed pool. How long will it be before farmers have no choice but buying packaged seed and inputs from their “new” seed suppliers?

The minister has set the wheels in motion for the canola seed model to be forced on us for wheat, barley and other grains. How long will it be before we pay $600 a bag canola prices for wheat and barley seed?

Can per-acre technology use agreement fees and company spies be far behind?

I just hope farmers can remember who they can thank for this!

sor of bioresource policy, business and economics.

“Thousands of cases a year of food illness are triggered from organic products,” Smyth said.

“It’s largely due to the process of them using manure slurry as fertilizer and coming down to improper household food preparations in terms of making sure that they’re properly washing organic food.”

And with that, the WP’s social media channels were abuzz.

“We need this article put in major cities where the majority of Canadian consumers are. This is an excellent article,” said WP reader Neil.

A reader named Dayton replied, “Excellent based on what? One man’s theory?”

Smyth’s comment was challenged

by Rob Wallbridge, an organic farmer and respected social media commentator from Bristol, Que.: “Mr. Smyth, please cite the science-based evidence to back your claims about organic food safety in comparison to non-organic products. When you fail to do so, and I say ‘when’ because every single person I’ve asked to do this for the past decade has failed, please retract your statements and issue an apology to the thousands of certified organic farmers in Canada who work side-by-side every day with every other Canadian farmer to produce healthy, safe food.”

Shortly thereafter, Smyth himself responded to Wallbridge’s comment, something those of us here at

the WP have rarely seen: “Mr. Wallbridge, will a report from the World Health Organization suffice? In 2011, organic cucumbers containing a lethal level of E. coli were sold in Europe, resulting in over 4,000 cases of illness and 50 deaths. Colleagues of mine at the FAO reported that by the third day of the story, the powerful European organic industry had pressured the media into removing the word organic from all stories.

Sadly, removing the word organic contributed to thousands of additional cases of illness and death, as European consumers had no idea it was the organic food that was killing them.

“I stand by my claim: organic food is the most dangerous and unsafe

food on the market today. If you want to eat food that will kill you, eat organic.”

The story also triggered a number of comments on the WP’s Face book page, among them someone using the nickname The Nutrition Sleuth: “This article is entirely false and Dr. Smyth is quoted out of context. The WHO said absolutely zero about organic farming in their report, which hasn’t even been released yet.”

The debate on this issue is ongoing, but getting researchers such as Smyth conversing with producers such as Wallbridge, disagreeing though they may, is surely a positive step. paul.yanko@producer.com

LANDOWNERS VERSUS ENERGY FIRMS

Landowners see progress on bankrupt oil company leases In the past, when an energy company went bankrupt, the Alberta Surface Rights Board would pay outstanding money owed to the farmer

BY PAUL COWLEY FREELANCE WRITER

An Alberta landowner group has begun making an impact that surprises one of its most dedicated leaders.

More than 400 people packed Trochu Community Hall April 9 to listen to a presentation about a pending court challenge by the Alberta Surface Rights Group related to lease payment compensation for landowners when oil companies go bankrupt.

Four days later, Progressive Con-

servative leader Jim Prentice committed to asking the Alberta Surface Rights Board to review its decision not to provide compensation for Doug and Marg Lemke.

The Lemkes, who farm east of Drayton Valley, were out of pocket when an oil company leasing their land went bankrupt.

Don Bester and two other board members from the Alberta Surface Rights Group were at Prentice’s April 13 news conference in Three Hills, which occurred in the middle of the province’s election campaign.

“Whenever have you seen a surface

rights group or landowner group conduct a meeting on an issue and in less than three days the premier is making a press release on it?” Bester said.

“I’ve been around this ball game a long time and I’ve never seen that

kind of action that fast.”

It doesn’t take a lot of cynicism to see the connection to the ongoing election, but Bester also believes that those in power and those seeking it are noticing a lot of angry rural landowners.

Prentice’s pledge was quickly followed the same day by a statement from Wildrose party leader Brian Jean promising to strengthen property rights. Jean also criticized Prentice for not taking up the Lemke cause earlier and for his government’s failure over the past six months to review the contentious Land Stewardship Act, which some landowners feel erodes their rights.

Bester said the group is pleased its message appears to be getting heard, but its lawsuit will continue unless the Lemke decision is reversed and the Drayton Valley-area couple receives the lease money they are owed.

The Alberta Surface Rights Group accuses the provincial board, which oversees surface rights issues, of changing a longstanding practice of guaranteeing annual surface lease payments.

That practice ensures that owners aren’t left out of pocket when oil or gas companies go under.

Bester said the board “erred in an interpretation of law” in a 2014 case involving the Lemkes and Petroglobe Inc. The Lemkes argued the insolvent company owed them $3,700 in annual lease payments, which has now reached more than $10,000.

However, the surface rights board rejected their application to seek compensation.

“The surface rights board claimed the Bank and Insolvency Act superseded the Alberta Surface Rights Act, although it is very clear that this is not the case,” said Bester.

In the past, the board would order a company in default of payment to pay up or be stripped of its mineral rights. If no agreement was reached with the company, the board could provide compensation to landowners.

Bester said the implications extend beyond lease payments to farmers.

The question of who will be responsible for cleaning up former well sites also arises.

“To us, it’s one of the more important issues we have faced,” he said.

As well, municipalities stand to lose thousands in taxes that are paid by oil and gas companies for the land on which their pipelines and facilities are located, he said.

The group’s ability to take the matter to court got a big financial push at the Trochu meeting, where thousands of dollars were raised toward a court battle that is expected to cost as much as $50,000.

Alberta Surface Rights Board counsel Karen Sinclair-Santos said recently that no change has been made to the legislation or the board’s options for dealing with companies behind on their payments. Measures include suspension or termination orders for the site in question and board-issued directions to pay.

There is nothing that says boards cannot offer compensation.

“Each time an application comes before the board, it makes its decision on the particular facts. There’s no guideline directing a board member to make a decision in a particular way,” said Sinclair-Santos.

FARM POLICY

Government can do more to support exports, says think-tank Targeting supply management, official with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute says Canada is losing global market share

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada has what it takes to be a world agricultural superpower but is held back by an out-of-date federal agricultural policy, according to a public policy think-tank.

It has the third largest amount of arable land per capita in the world, which is more than double most of its competitors.

It has good quality soil, which is a distinct advantage over the heavily degraded soil in the most populated countries.

And nine percent of the world’s

renewable fresh water supply makes it one of a few countries that is not experiencing water shortages.

“Canada stands out as one of the best endowed nations on the face of the Earth,” said Brian Crowley, managing director of the MacdonaldLaurier Institute. “In spite of all this great endowment, we are losing market share in every major agricultural product except pulses.”

The tendency is to blame Canada’s reduced competitiveness currency risk and sprawling geography, which results in big distribution costs.

Crowley said there is another culprit.

“Canada’s ag policy is a product of

six decades of food surpluses when productivity didn’t matter or was even discouraged,” he told the Canadian Global Crops Symposium.

“If the more likely prospect in the future is not food surpluses but food scarcity, it is more than time to rethink this policy approach.”

Ninety percent of total government spending on agriculture and food policy goes toward price income support when the economic benefit for dairy and poultry supply management is included in the calculation.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development says Canada’s market support for agricul-

ture accounts for 20 to 25 percent of gross farm income on average, which is well above competitors such as the United States and Australia.

Crowley said Canada’s agricultural policy focus needs to shift from income support to expanding productivity and exports.

The United States has signficantly outpaced Canada in productivity gains in just about every agricultural commodity and in the food manufacturing and food processing sectors, he added.

O n the expor t side Canadian exporters are confronted by tradestifling tariff and non-tariff barriers.

For example, the two factors combined amount to 300 percent on Canadian pork shipped into Japan.

He said it is why it is critical Canada be included in any Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement. If Canada is left out and the U.S., as rumoured, signs a side agreement with Japan, the impact on Canada’s livestock sector would dwarf the impact of U.S. country-of-origin labelling.

“It is absolutely vital to Canada’s interest, and we simply cannot allow supply management to stop it,” said Crowley. sean.pratt@producer.com

Sask. grain bag recycling pilot gets extension

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Saskatchewan will continue its grain bag recycling pilot project for one more year as it works toward establishing a permanent program.

Simply Ag Solutions will receive $200,000 from the federal-provincial Growing Forward 2 program to continue collecting grain bags and twine across the province. The organization shipped 1.87 million pounds of plastic from 13 collection sites last year.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said three times more plastic was collected and shipped last year than in the three previous years of the project combined. The total since 2011 is 2.421 million lb., or 7,345 bags.

Stewart said in committee debate last week that he had met with environment minister Scott Moe to discuss a permanent program.

“A program is being put together, but we’ll be renewing the pilot for this year,” he said.

The environment ministry is working on regulations for an industry-led permanent recycling program.

Bags and twine are collected at sites in Cudworth, Hirsch, Humboldt, Kelvington, Macoun, Marshall, Milestone, Moose Jaw, Mossbank, Prince Albert, Rush Lake, Saskatoon and Unity.

Agriculture critic Cathy Sproule said in committee that producers are burning bags because they are too far away from the sites, and local landfills won’t take them.

“The urgency seems to be there, particularly with crop years like last year,” she said.

Stewart said he understood that some producers are not as close to the sites as they might like to be.

“And we urge producers not to burn (grain bags), to either store them until we have a permanent program or make the trip to a collection site and have them properly disposed of,” he said.

Travis Quirk, agriculture plastic recycling co-ordinator with Simply Ag Solutions, said the goal is to divert as much as possible from landfills and farmyards.

HERBICIDE

Canadian regulator finds glyphosate label use safe Pest Management Regulatory Agency issues statement as part of Health Canada’s re-evaluation of the herbicide

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Health Canada says glyphosate is not a risk to human health when used according to label directions.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency issued a proposed re-evaluation decision in mid April on glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and the world’s most popular herbicide.

The agency said it considered data from product registrants, published scientific reports and data from other regulatory bodies when writing the report.

“Short- and long-term (lifetime) animal toxicity tests, as well as numerous peer-reviewed studies from the published scientific literature, were assessed for the potential of glyphosate to cause neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, chronic toxicity, cancer, reproductive and developmental toxicity and various other effects,” PMRA scientists said in a statement that was published on Health Canada’s website.

“Toxicology studies in laboratory animals describe potential health effects from varying levels of exposure to a chemical and identify the dose at which no effects are observed.

The health effects noted in animals occur at doses more than 100 times higher (and often much higher) than levels to which humans are normally

Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency says glyphosate doesn’t pose a health risk to farmers or the public when it’s used according to its label. | FILE PHOTO exposed when glyphosate products are used according to label directions.”

The PMRA concluded that glyphosate doesn’t pose a health risk to farmers and other occupations that handle the product.

As well, agency scientists said acute and chronic dietary risks for residues of glyphosate in food and water “are not of concern.”

The report contradicts a recent World Health Organization decision to classify glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Global media coverage of the WHO announcement has intensified public interest in glyphosate, and many consumers now want information about glyphosate residues on food.

Most governments do not test for glyphosate residues because the herbicide is thought to be safe.

Reuters reported last week that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency might change its policy and “may recommend sampling for glyphosate in the future.”

The PMRA mentioned the WHO decision in its report, making a distinction between a hazard assessment and a risk assessment.

“It is important to note that a hazard classification is not a health risk assessment. The level of human exposure, which determines the actual risk, was not taken into account by WHO (IARC),” the PMRA said.

“Pesticides are registered for use

in Canada only if the level of exposure to Canadians does not cause any harmful effects, including cancer.”

James Bus, senior managing scientist for toxicology and mechanistic biology with Exponent, a U.S. scientific consulting firm, said the methodology is critical when it comes to pesticide evaluation. “(The World Health Organization is) asking the question: is it possible that glyphosate might be a carcinogen, regardless of the conditions of exposure that you might encounter … in the real world,” said Bus, who worked at Dow for more than a decade.

“In the last 25 to 30 years, or even longer perhaps, a hazard based

approach to evaluation of chemicals is fundamentally one which … is an outdated process.”

Gideon Forman, executive director of the Canadian Physicians for the Environment, said the World Health Organization is more credible than Health Canada, so it’s clear that glyphosate does cause cancer.

“We’re science based, so we try to find the best science we can when making interventions in public policy,” he said.

“The (assessment) approach matters … (but) for us it’s patently obviously that we should listen to the World Health Organization on this issue of glyphosate and take the appropriate action. If it’s probably carcinogenic, (we) should phase it out.”

Forman said Canadian farmers should abandon pesticides and shift to more sustainable production methods.

“We would like to see agriculture move away from these heavy chemical inputs to a more non-toxic way of doing agriculture,” he said.

“And we know that is commercially viable because the organic market is growing in leaps and bounds.”

EQUINE INDUSTRY

Alberta eliminates horse specialist position Les Burwash is disappointed in the decision and said horse owners need someone who can help sift through the ‘foo foo dust’

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The last of the Alberta government cowboys has ridden off to retirement.

Les Burwash, the lone member of Alberta Agriculture’s horse industry branch, was a budget statistic and terminated April 7.

“I was asked to retire,” said Burwash from his Airdrie government office a week after losing his job.

“I’m disappointed. Yes, after 40 years I am getting long in the tooth, but we’ve had no succession plan in Alberta. Yes, there is talk someone

will replace me, but where has the mentorship been? Who knows what will happen.”

Burwash was finishing research projects and conducted a horse extension course days after he was given the news.

“We’ve made commitments. We have to see them through,” said Burwash, who was hired as a horse specialist in 1974.

Mike Long, communications director for Alberta Agriculture, said the decision was made so that the department could focus its resources on core programs.

“As a result, we have reassessed roles and are reallocating and prioritizing resources in the department to ensure that service to the horse industry continues to be met,” he said.

“A direct contact will be established shortly.”

The horse branch’s staff has shrunk from three to one and now zero, but Burwash said there is still a need for unbiased information about feeding, raising and buying horses.

“There is still a great number of people in the horse industry who have no livestock experience,” said

Burwash.“We need to keep going back to the basics. If you look in horse magazines, people try to sell owners everything under the sun.

There needs to be someone to help owners sort out the foo foo dust from reality.”

He said one-third of Canada’s horses are in Alberta, and the need for good information is as strong now as it was when he was hired in 1974, along with Doug Milligan, to become horse specialists similar to those who worked with the dairy, beef and swine sectors.

“Doug and I were hired to develop

programs and services that were designed to meet the needs of the horse industry in Alberta.”

Bob Coleman later joined the branch, and the trio crisscrossed the province conducting research projects and hosting extension workshops to increase the knowledge of horse owners and breeders.

They created the Alberta Horse Improvement Program, an evaluation checklist that horse owners could use when buying and assessing horses.

Horse shows had become “very faddish” and weren’t promoting the best in the breed, he said.

“It was a way to help evaluate and give producers a guideline and a way to evaluate horses to encourage high quality horses,” he said.

The specialists organized the popular Horse Breeders and Owners Conference in Red Deer for 33 years as a way to promote education to horse owners.

The show was later run under the umbrella of the Horse Industry Association of Alberta.

Bur wash, an equine livestock genetics and reproduction specialist, also taught horse owners how to establish and operate artificial insemination programs.

The branch’s nutrition research in the 1980s led to modifications to the National Research Council horse feed recommendations.

The number of horses has steadily decreased, and breed associations struggle to encourage membership.

Burwash said the horse industry is fragmented into small groups with no unified voice.

“There is no one industry that speaks on behalf of the horse industry,” said Burwash, who believes that fracturing allowed the government to eliminate his position.

The Horse Industry Association of Alberta takes the lead on breeding and marketing, and the Alberta Equestrian Federation focuses on sport and recreation.

“When you don’t have one voice, the government doesn’t have to listen.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

YOUTH EDUCATION

Comic books featured at Aggie Days Free educational books describe character’s adventures on the farm, learning about all things agriculture

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A series of 10 comics about 11-yearold Chase Superman Duffy is bringing the wonder of growing things to Alberta students.

Chase is featured in a series of graphic novels that combines science, fantasy, mystery and adventure for readers eight to 12 years old.

In each story, Chase visits his grandfather’s central Alberta farm and practises his track and field skills in the canola field. At the same time, he explores with friends and learns about canola, insects, soil, biodiesel, weather, water, biotechnology and growing food.

The books have been released at Aggie Days, the Calgary Stampede and small farming communities where children receive free copies and are invited to brainstorm with author Dawn Ius and illustrator James Grasdal to build more adventures for the character.

Each book run started with 5,000 copies but the first few in the series have been reprinted, said Ius, who started the project with the Alberta Canola Producers Commission five years ago.

She said they are suitable for all children because farm children often don’t know much more about farming than what happens on their home place.

“A lot of kids don’t see much beyond those yellow fields,” said Ius. The books offer easy to understand concepts that also fit in with the

“There’s not a lot of agriculture centred books for kids that are entertain-

HEALTH DIAGNOSIS

Patient seeks change after Lyme disease test After a series of misdiagnoses, blood tested in California confirmed her illness was due to a tick

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The circuitous route to a Lyme disease diagnosis has led one Saskatchewan woman to advocate change to what she calls flawed testing.

Danah Hysuick of Indian Head went from feeling unwell in December 2012 to being unable to work because of seizures, weakness, pain and twitches in her limbs to finally receiving a diagnosis through a U.S. test kit in May 2014.

“The cost to the taxpayer for this misdiagnosis is over $100,000,” she

DANAH HYSUICK LYME DISEASE PATIENT

said, citing medical investigations that included MRI and bone scans, neurology and rheumatology consultations, spinal taps, a hospital stay and prescriptions.

The diagnoses during this process ranged from fibromyalgia to multiple

sclerosis. That included testing negative three times for Lyme disease.

“Everything came back negative, and I was getting sicker and sicker,” s a i d Hy s u i c k , w h o e v e n t u a l l y became bedridden and was unable to walk more than 20 steps at a time.

She sent for a test kit from the IGeneX lab in California at her own expense, had the blood work done in Saskatchewan and shipped the test back, where it was confirmed as Lyme and a treatment of antibiotics advised.

“The doctor (in Saskatchewan) refused to sign off on a treatment because the results came from some-

where else,” Hysuick said.

“I was devastated.”

Hysuick then travelled to Alberta to a naturopath who could prescribe drugs.

“Within two weeks, it was unbelievable how fast I came back,” she said, noting she soon walked without a cane.

Patrick O’Byrne, executive director of the Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory, said the province is using up-to-date testing methods.

“In Saskatchewan, we’re using the best proven technology we have right now,” he said.

Choose an Oil Canola oil: the mild flavour allows flavours of the seasonings to be most prominent. It can also be used to stretch other flavourful or more expensive oils like sesame and nut.

Sesame oil: Asian inspired vinaigrettes.

Olive oil: Mediterranean inspired flavours.

Flax or Nut oils: for earthier flavours.

Choose an Acid Vinegar: cider, white wine, red wine, balsamic, rice wine, sherry.

Juice: lemon, lime, orange, pineapple.

Add Seasoning Herbs: basil, oregano, thyme, shallots, garlic, chives, tarragon.

Spices: red pepper flakes, cumin, cayenne, ginger, salt, pepper, onion powder.

Sweeteners: sugar, honey, maple syrup, stevia, jelly, chutney.

Other: wine, broth, salsa, soy or Worcestershire sauce Emulsifiers: mustard powder, djion mustard.

Most of my vinaigrettes start with 1/2 cup (125 mL) vinegar, 3/4 cup (175 mL) canola oil and one tablespoon (15 mL) mustard powder, with the seasonings added last. I combine ingredients in a container, cover tightly and shake until blended.

For a more stable emulsion and a creamier texture, blend in a blender for one minute. An emulsion is a stable mixture of two liquids such as oil and vinegar that normally separates from each other.

COUNTRY KITCHEN

DOROTHY LONG

If dressing is on the runny side, and you don’t want to add more oil, add an ice cube and shake well. The ice cools the oil and thickens the mixture. This trick doesn’t work for canola oil because it remains free running in the refrigerator.

A

great salad starts with a fabulous vinaigrette. A basic vinaigrette blends an acid, usually vinegar or lemon juice, with a vegetable oil, salt, pepper and other seasonings.

Preparing your own vinaigrette allows you to control the flavour as well as the fat content. Traditional proportions are three parts oil to one part vinegar.

For lower fat versions, try a two to one ratio or experiment until you find the proportions of oil and vinegar you like.

You can also try adding chicken broth, wine, fruit juice or even water to stretch your vinaigrette without increasing fat content.

To make a vinaigrette, start by choosing an oil, then acid ingredient and the other seasonings. Because

VINAIGRETTE TIPS

oil and vinegars don’t mix, you can also add an emulsifier like mustard to prevent them from separating.

Whisk ingredients in glass bowl or blend them in your blender or shake them in a jar to combine. To make sure you have the flavours just right, dip a lettuce leaf in the mixture to taste it.

Store leftovers in the refrierator and use in one week. Vinaigrettes also make a great marinade for vegetables, poultry or meat.

Don’t overdo it. Suffocating a salad with too much dressing takes away from the crispness and negates some of the nutritional advantages of eating salad greens. Onequarter to 1/3 cup (50 to 75 mL) of vinaigrette should be sufficient for eight cups (2 L) of salad greens.

Store vinaigrettes in the fridge and use within a week.

Years ago, my husband and I made an agreement with our son that he would take over the family farm once he was able to do so and when we were preparing ourselves for retirement. It is a good agreement and all of us are committed to it.

The problem is that now that our boy is in Grade 11 and nearing the completion of high school, he has decided that what he is learning in high school is not relevant to what is expected from him on the farm.

He wants to quit school. I do not want our boy to drop out of school before graduation. He has done well and I think that finishing could be to his advantage.

I have to admit that few of the courses he is studying directly apply to life on the farm. What do you think?

A:

High school does little to prepare us for any of our professions. I am not sure why farming should be any different.

Your son is not likely to master the art of calibrating his dad’s seed drill while strolling the high school halls.

But not much in high school is directly applicable to the lawyer you hire to oversee your judicial o bligatio ns, little o f what is learned in high school is useful to the doctor caring for you and your family, and almost none of it is directly applicable to the local mortician.

The real merit of public education is that it teaches us how to learn. And that is essential.

Today’s successful farmer has a multitude of skills from agronomy , hu s b a n d r y , h e av y - d u t y machine operation and diesel mechanics to plumbing, weather forecasting and stock market analysis.

Most of those are skills that the farmer learns by continuing his education after high school, studying on his own or talking to his parents.

A good farmer is someone who has shown that he is capable of learning. That is what your son’s high school has to offer him.

He is in high school to learn how to learn and he is farming to learn how to farm. It’s that simple.

INCOME TAX

Medical expenses often overlooked tax deduction TEAM RESOURCES

BETTY ANN DEOBALD, BSHEc

T

he number of people who overlook medical expense deductions at tax time is surprising.

Their reasons are often complicated or they don’t think they have enough expenses to qualify.

Expenses add up and there may be enough for a medical expense tax credit but remember, these claims cannot be made without proper documentation.

The Canada Revenue Agency’s list of eligible deductions is always being revised, so it is wise to annually check them in case something formerly ineligible becomes deductible.

Private health service plans as well

Medical expense deductions can fall into any 12-month period and are not limited to the calendar year — but record keeping is essential as employment health and dental plans and travel medical insurance are eligible as medical expenses.

Medical expenses for a spouse or common-law partner and dependent children aged 18 and under can all be combined.

They should be claimed on the tax return of the person with the lowest net income for the biggest benefit.

Only expenses in excess of the lesser of $2,171 for 2014 ($2,208 for 2015) or three percent of the taxpayer’s net income can be claimed. The expense can also be claimed on the provincial tax schedule.

Medical expenses can fall into any 12-month period and are not limited to the calendar year. Eligible medical expenses paid in any 12-month period ending in 2014 and not claimed in 2013 can be claimed.

If the last claim ended June 15, 2013, and there were few or no expenses during July and August of 2013, the 2014 claim could start in September 2013 and go for 12 months.

Record keeping is key. Create a file folder and list of prescriptions, dates of appointments, distance travelled to appointments and receipts for the related medical expenses.

The list of what can be claimed as medical expenses is extensive and confusing, so many medical expenses are often overlooked. One example is travelling more than 40 kilometres to access certain medical care or therapy.

Public-transport or fuel costs can be claimed. If travel exceeded 80 kilometres, items like meals, accommodation and parking expenses can

also be claimed.

This is particularly relevant for those living in rural and remote areas. If a medical practitioner certifies that the patient is incapable of traveling alone, transportation and accommodation expenses for a companion can also be claimed.

A simplified method for calculating meal and vehicle expenses can be found on the Canada Revenue Agency website, www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

MONEY-SAVING HEALTH TIP It is wise to purchase additional private health-care coverage with a drug plan because it is difficult to purchase coverage after a medical condition is diagnosed and medications have been prescribed.

This is especially important when approaching retirement as an employer health benefit plan may cease upon retirement, causing a void in coverage. The premium for the health insurance can be used as a medical expense.

If some of the medical expenses are paid by medical insurance or benefit coverage, the amount of the medical expense not covered can be claimed.

For example, if the medical benefit covers 80 percent of the dental or eyewear expense, the remaining 20 percent can be used as a medical expense claim.

Any treatments, therapies, equipment, devices or medications that a health care professional has provided a prescription for can generally be claimed as a medical expense.

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 19 He said the current practice is to confirm a positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test with a western blot test at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States has firm test guidelines and is seen as one of the experts on Lyme disease, he said. However, he said advocacy groups do not feel they are appropriate. He cited evidence and peer reviewed literature questioning the validity of other U.S. laboratories, some of which are not licensed or accredited.

The drugs, prescribed by a naturopath, are not covered by Saskatchewan Health or employee group insurance benefits.

In addition to out of pocket expenses reaching $60,000, Hysuick fears lingering long-term effects from not being diagnosed earlier.

Her husband also counts income lost from needing to remain home to care for her, she said.

She blogged about her experiences, held information nights in Indian Head and will participate in an upcoming ride for Lyme disease to share her experiences and heighten awareness.

She was unsuccessful in getting her costs reimbursed when she took her concerns to Saskatchewan’s minister of health, but changes in regulations will soon allow naturopath practitioners to prescribe drugs and order lab tests.

Hysuick believes the western blot test is a better test for Lyme disease than Saskatchewan Health’s standard ELISA, which measures the body’s immune response to what’s going on in the body.

“But there is huge pushback on using the western blot test,” Hysuick said. “If government admits they were wrong, the backlash would be massive, and financially, I don’t think they want that.”

O’Byrne said there is no consensus between the scientific community and Lyme disease advocacy groups.

Examples are vitamin B12 injections for those with pernicious anemia or orthopedic shoes, boots and inserts. Also, vaccines that are not covered under provincial health care plans can be claimed.

The claim is for the incremental costs associated with the purchase of gluten-free products. That cost is the difference in the cost of the glutenfree products compared to the cost of similar non-gluten-free products.

Intermediate items that are used to make gluten-free recipes such as rice flour and gluten-free spices are also allowed.

Costs for surgical or non-surgical reconstructive procedures as a result of an illness, accident, trauma, or disfiguring disease can be claimed.

Expenses that cannot be claimed are those already reimbursed for, which could include athletic or fitness club fees, non-prescription birth control devices, diaper services, organic food, personal emergency response services, over-the-counter medications, vitamins or supplements.

He hopes Bill C-442, which recently passed into law in Canada, will help.

It calls for a conference with the provincial and territorial health ministers, the medical community and patients’ groups to create a federal framework to address challenges of diagnosing and treating the disease.

“We are hopeful the process will deal with some of this conflict,” said O’Byrne. “I think the health-care community recognizes we need to do a better job.”

He also hopes to see advances made through more research.

Lyme disease is on the rise in the U.S., with as many as 300,000 cases a year, he said. In Canada, where it is a reportable disease, cases jumped to 682 in 2013 from 144 in 2009, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada. Most are in southern Ontario and Quebec, with some in southeastern Manitoba.

Philip Curry, an entomologist with Saskatchewan Health, said the province does not have established populations of the black-legged tick.

“We do get small numbers dropping in with migrating birds,” he said.

They are commonly hosted by deer and deer mice and are harder to detect than the ticks commonly found on pets. Curry said there have been two confirmed cases of Lyme disease in Saskatchewan.

ON THE FARM

Tough rodeo bulls made user friendly Affable rodeo stock contractor develops a reputation for quality bucking animals from his herd of 60 Brahma-cross bulls ON THE FARM

BRAD, KATHY AND CODY STANDQUIST Kyle, Sask.

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Some of the rankest, orneriest and smartest bucking bulls are owned by one of the nicest and youngest stock contractors in the rodeo world.

Easy-going and quick with a smile, 18-year-old Cody Strandquist has been in the business for more than five years at his parents farm near Kyle, Sask. However, his experience and professional bucking stock have put his reputation up with seasoned contractors more than twice his age.

It started in 2011 with a bucking bull named Legend. Cody, who was 13 at the time, bought the four-year-old Brahma cross using money he’d earned from two summers of roofing houses. The bull went on to the Canadian Cowboy Association Finals Rodeo that same year.

“Legend’s still one of the better ones and one of the favourites,” he said.

“He’s the one I’ll never get rid of.”

Cody’s herd grew with his reputation and now numbers about 60 Brahma cross bucking bulls.

With names like Real Deal, Barely Legal and Booster Juice, some of his top end bulls continue earning their way to the Professional Bull Riders Canada Finals and CCA Finals.

The CCA named Real Deal bull of the year in 2012.

Cody has his sights set on eventually competing at the Calgary Stampede, as well as the PBR World Finals and the World National Finals, both in Las Vegas.

“Cody’s got such a good repertoire (of bulls). They’re user friendly, they’re not mean, they’re not killers, but they can still be 80 to 85 points on every one of them,” said his father, Brad. “Even kids come to get on his.”

Added Cody: “You can tell the bulls who are smart. They work good and they walk and stand in the chute and then go out there and really buck.…

They know how to get the riders off them.”

Cody comes by his love of competition the old-fashioned way: both his parents, Brad and Kathy, are from rodeo families.

Brad followed in his father’s steer riding boots to become a professional bullfighter, while Kathy barrel raced. Her family, the Rempels, managed the historic Matador pasture in southern Saskatchewan and have rodeoed for generations.

They met during the Calgary Stampede, married in 1991, bought land just east of Kyle and started a commercial beef herd in 1992.

Growing up, Cody was often in the pen and behind the chute helping his father, mother and a ranch stock contractor his father continues to work

He learned the art of flanking a horse and bull and working stock. His bucking Brahmas were eventually added to the contractor’s bull string.

Brad said it’s unusual, even in rural schools, to find kids like Cody who take an interest in stock contracting and rodeos.

“Rodeo right now is a dying sport.

We have no up and coming young people in Canada,” he said.

“That tough style comes to very few kids anymore… To say ‘I’m a bull rider’ now at high school doesn’t mean crap.”

Mentorship from fellow contractors and family have allowed the young bull contractor get a toehold in

the competitive business, where quality bucking stock rules.

“A lot of these guys, when they see him at one of these events, they don’t know him, but once they see him with his bulls, they’ve got to know that he’s not some fly by night, that he’s serious about it,” said Brad.

“He’s an 18 year-old in a 24-yearold world. That’s huge.”

Added Kathy: “You can be nice and good.”

But it all comes down to the bulls, which Cody said are like the siblings he never had.

REDUCED BUREAUCRACY

Variety registration system upgraded The new procedure will use basic or enhanced criteria to assess crop merit

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Ottawa is moving ahead with plans to modernize the variety registration system, the system that is used to approve new seed varieties in Canada.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz announced April 14 that efforts to streamline the variety registration system will go ahead following additional consultations with industry groups over the next few months.

Among other things, the proposals offer these three key changes: • Replacing Canada’s three-part variety registration system with a twopart system that uses either “basic” or “enhanced” registration criteria.

• The adoption of model operating procedures to be implemented by all committees that recommend new crop lines for commercial registration in Canada.

• The adoption of a new procedure known as “incorporation by reference,” which will allow different crop types to be moved more quickly from basic registration to enhanced registration, or vice versa.

The incorporation by reference system is expected to speed up administrative changes by as much as 24 months, resulting in a more flexible and efficient variety registration system that requires less bureaucratic interference.

Ritz said the changes “will give Canadian farmers faster access to the newest cutting-edge varieties” and “remove bureaucratic hurdles that impede farmers’ competitiveness.”

“We value the participation of the entire crop value chain in making these changes, which will facilitate innovation and productivity, minimize red tape and deliver on the performance demands of our farmers and the quality demands of our customers,” said Ritz, who announced the changes at the Canada Grains Council’s Canadian Global Crops Symposium in Saskatoon.

One of the most notable aspects of the proposed variety registration changes is a plan to replace Canada’s current three-part system with a twopart system that uses either “basic” or “enhanced” registration criteria.

Crops that use the enhanced registration criteria will still require merit assessment to ensure that new varieties offer suitable agronomic performance, disease resistance packages and end-use quality characteristics.

It is expected that most major crop types including wheat, barley, oats, rye, triticale, flax, canola and mustard would use enhanced registration protocols, at least initially.

Consensus on the placement of pulse crops has been more difficult to achieve.

As well, it remains to be seen how privately generated trial data will be accommodated in the revised variety registration system but officials at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said recently that changes might allow foreign data to be used more often.

For example, it is likely that crop data compiled in some U.S. agroecological zones will be used more routinely in the Canadian variety registration process, as long as the growing conditions, environmental factors and disease pressures in those U.S. zones are deemed similar to conditions that exist in Canada.

MILLING VARIETY

Wheat class changes based on gluten pleases foreign buyers

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A plan to reorganize Canada’s wheat classification system received positive reviews last week from foreign grain buyers who attended the Canadian Global Crops Symposium in Saskatoon.

Koji Murakami, a quality control and assurance manager with Japan’s Nisshin Flour Milling Inc., said Japanese millers support a Canadian Grain Commission proposal to tighten quality parameters for the Canada Western Red Spring wheat class.

The proposal suggests that all CWRS varieties with gluten strength below Carberry should be removed

from the CWRS class and placed in a new milling wheat category, which offers a slightly reduced milling quality profile.

The new class would include some of Canada’s most widely grown CWRS varieties such as Harvest, Lillian and Unity, which typically have lower gluten strength than other CWRS varieties.

“We are very pleased to know that the CGC has a proposal for Canadian wheat class modernization,” said Murakami, who belongs to an association that represents Japanese wheat millers.

“We, as end use customers, thoroughly support this proposal. If the proposal proceeds, I believe the

usage of No. 1 CWRS in Japan will increase … because the mixing tolerance of U.S. hard red spring has declined.”

Japan consumes 5.7 million tones of wheat annually, including imports from Canada, the United States and Australia.

Japanese importers bought 1.2 million tonnes of No. 1 C WRS and 200,000 tonnes of Canada Western Amber Durum in 2013.

CWRS is recognized as a premium quality milling wheat in Japan, ideal for making bread and noodles.

However, Murakami said the gluten strength of CWRS varieties began to decline in 2009,and the quality of some C WRS varieties began to

change drastically.

“St a r t ing in 2 0 0 9 , th e glu ten strength of No. 1 CWRS has become weaker than we expect … and bread making properties have also deteriorated,” he said.

“Fortunately, the gluten quality of the 2014 CWRS crop has slightly improved but still needs further improvement.”

Murakami said environmental factors in Western Canada may have influenced quality in recent years.

However, the lower quality characteristics of certain CWRS varieties have effectively lowered the base for the entire CWRS class, he added.

Ltd., said Chinese millers have raised similar concerns.

Canadian wheat is still recognized as a premium product among Chinese millers, but the overall quality of varieties in the CWRS class is not what it used to be, Sang said.

“CWRS has enjoyed a very good reputation in China, (but) in recent years the performance of Canadian wheat has declined due to poor functionality,” he said.

“Since the 2013-14 crop year, the quality has been on the mend, but it’s still not as good as before.”

Sang said COFCO was pleased to learn that the grain commission is reviewing quality parameters in the CWRS class.

However, response to the plan has been more reserved in Canada.

Some growers groups have expressed concerns that the proposed reorganization could hurt farm profitability.

Curt Vossen, president of Richardson International Ltd., said company officials have raised similar concerns, suggesting that the changes may not benefit the Canadian grain industry as a whole.

“I know our people are a little concerned that it adds complexity without adding value,” Vossen said.

“We’re not sure that the value (to be gained) is commensurate with the additional complexity.” brian.cross@producer.com

One of Canada’s largest grain handling companies, Richardson International, is planning a multimilliondollar research facility in Winnipeg.

Richardson executive Curt Vossen said construction of the new facility will begin in late 2015 or early 2016.

The centre will consolidate research and development work that is taking place at various Richardson locations across Western Canada and the United States.

Work at the centre is expected to focus on value-added food processing, product development and use of common agricultural crops such as canola and oats.

Speaking April 14 on the sidelines of a Canadian Global Crops Symposium in Saskatoon, Vossen said the new facility will likely be not far from the company’s headquarters in downtown Winnipeg.

The cost has not been made public but Vossen said the company’s investment will be in “the millions of dollars.”

“We are now becoming much more a food company as well as an agricultural company,” he said.

The centre will “support product development for our food processing businesses in oats and in canola,” he added.

Over the past 20 years , Richardson has invested more than $2.5 billion in Canada’s agriculture sector. That amount includes acquisitions, expansions and construction projects.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

How will U.S. glyphosate restrictions affect Canada?

It is uncertain if Canada will follow the American plan to prevent development of resistant weeds

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Proposed U.S. restrictions on glyphosate could affect Canadian farmers, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early to speculate on the potential impact, says a University of Guelph weed scientist.

In late March, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency developed a management plan for glyphosate to control the spread of herbicide resistant weeds.

The EPA hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t released details, but an agency spokesperson said the

rules would be similar to the restrictions for Enlist Duo, a new Dow Agro herbicide.

When the EPA registered Enlist Duo, which is a new formulation of 2,4-D and glyphosate, it said Dow must take steps to prevent the development of resistant weeds. That could include grower education, weed surveys, consistent reporting to EPA and remediation plans.

The Pest Management Regulatory Agency, which oversees pesticides in Canada, typically matches EPA policy.

However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to know if the PMRA will follow suit and how it could affect Canadian farmers, said Francois Tardif, a U of G plant agriculture professor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really comment until I see (the EPA plan).â&#x20AC;?

Tardif said the EPAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed action isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise because herbicide resistance has become a political issue in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The situation was so bad down there, they (farmers) started to complain to their senators and representatives. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where it hit the regulators,â&#x20AC;? Tardif said.

The Weed Science Society of America said it supports the EPA proposal, provided itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a science-based herbicide resistance stewardship program.

It has formed a committee of experts to develop a plan to deal with all herbicides and the challenge of weed resistance.

Stratus Ag Research polled U.S. farmers about glyphosate resistance in 2012 and found that nearly 50 percent of them said they had glyphosate resistant weeds on their farms. Stratus took that to mean 61.2 million acres of American cropland had glyphosate resistant weeds, double the acreage from a similar survey in 2010.

Mike Owen, a University of Iowa weed scientist, said a herbicide resistance plan for glyphosate may be too little, too late. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That horse has already left the barn,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably needed this about 15 years ago.â&#x20AC;?

A Stratus online survey of Canadian farmers that was released in 2013 said one million acres of farmland in Canada have glyphosate resistance, which includes fields with resistance to volunteer canola.

Kent Fraser, vice-president of Stratus, said glyphosate resistance is still unusual in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2014, 6.5 percent of Western Canada growers reported glyphosate resistant weeds on less than two percent of acres,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is worse in the East where 13.4 percent of Ontario-Quebec growers reported glyphosate resistant weeds on six percent of acres.â&#x20AC;?

Weed scientists and crop protection companies have emphasized awareness to persuade farmers to adopt integrated weed management.

However, sustainable weed control is usually more expensive.

Fraser said most Canadian farmers are concerned about resistance and are prepared to take action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eighty-nine percent of farmers are

GLYPHOSATE USE IN CANADA â&#x20AC;˘ Glyphosate products, including brands in which glyphosate is combined with other active ingredients, account for 46 percent of all herbicide acres in Canada. â&#x20AC;˘ This does not mean 46 percent of crop acres are sprayed with glyphosate. Some fields could be treated two or three times throughout the year with glyphosate. Each treatment is calculated as additional acres. â&#x20AC;˘ Canadian acres treated with glyphosate have increased by 125 percent since 2001. â&#x20AC;˘ Over that period, Canada wide spending on glyphosate has increased only 29 percent over that period. â&#x20AC;˘ The price of glyphosate products has dropped 43 percent since 2001. â&#x20AC;˘ Monsantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patent on Roundup expired in 2000.

INDUSTRY RECOGNITION

Former ag minister inducted into Manitoba Hall of Fame

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Glen Findlay dedicated a large chunk of his life to public service, but he’s most proud of his family farm near Shoal Lake, Man. Findlay was Manitoba’s agriculture minister in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a provincial MLA for 13 years and director with the Canadian Wheat Board.

He is one of eight new inductees into Manitoba’s Agricultural Hall of Fame.

The organization released the names of its inductees last week.

Findlay learned about the honour two weeks ago, when a Hall of Fame representative called his house “The committee called on April 1.

That’s when I first found out…. You can imagine how I might of reacted,” he said with a laugh.

Aquaponics research gets federal grant LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Aquaponics research at Lethbridge College received a $2.1 million funding boost April 8 from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

The grant will further research into integrated fish and plant systems, Lethbridge College said in a news release.

It will be distributed over five years.

Gina Funicelli, dean of the college’s Centre for Applied Research and Innovation, said it is the largest grant ever received by the institution.

Lethbridge was one of eight across Canada to receive more than $2 million in funds through the council’s college and community innovation enhancement program.

The college has had an aquaponics program for more than 12 years at its Aquaculture Centre of Excellence.

Water used to raise fish is cycled into a greenhouse, where it fertilizes plants.

Charlie Schultz, lead researcher in aquaculture at the college, said the grant is welcome.

“This new grant will be used to address critical issues relating to the production of food, including food safety, and will use the knowledge and understanding of agriculture and food production practices found in southern Alberta to assist companies who are commercializing integrated fish and plant systems,” he said.

“These food production systems are applicable in rural and urban settings and will lead to more sustainable practices worldwide.”

He returned to the farm with his wife, Katherine, in 1970 and was a U of M agriculture faculty professor for seven years.

Despite his time as Manitoba’s agriculture and transportation minister, Findlay said the most satisfying moment in his career was the day his son returned to Shoal Lake.

“My son graduated university and came back to the farm,” Findlay said.

“That was the most enjoyable part because you could see a reason to keep everything going.”

Findlay’s grandson is now involved in the family business, which should preserve the family legacy for another generation.

“I have more passion now (for agriculture) than I ever did because my grandson is the sixth generation on the farm,” he said.

“The success of a family farm depends on two people, husband and wife…. Your opportunity and challenge was to grow it and pass it on to the next generation. That’s was the motivating factor for both my wife and I.” Findlay remains active in the family business, taking care of the books and doing whatever is necessary to help out.

He is fascinated by the evolution and innovation in prairie agriculture over the last 25 years.

“The rate of change in the industry,

it’s been incredible,” he said.

“I’ve really enjoyed watching the progress of the industry, on-farm and off-farm…. It’s exciting to see that happening…. We’re not doing the same thing over and over again.”

Part of the evolution is the shift toward corporate farms and investment funds that own agricultural land.

Findlay is worried about the trend, but he has faith in the family farm structure.

“I don’t think that (corporate farming) will be a successful model,” he said.

“They don’t have the emotional commitment or the work ethic that a family farm has…. The family farm

model will always be successful because of that intuitive desire to succeed and work hard, and sometimes don’t ask for rewards except for the success of the operation.”

BIRD VIRUS

Migrating birds focus of avian flu tracking New testing technique collects bird feces from wetland sediment to check for virus presence and determine strain

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The spread of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus has researchers taking a closer look at migratory birds.

The wild animals, which aren’t affected by the flu, are believed to be a vector for the virus, which can quickly wipe out commercial poultry flocks.

The H5N2 virus identified in British Columbia’s Frasier Valley in December led to the deaths or destruction of 240,000 birds on 11 commercial farms and saw trade restrictions placed on some Canadian poultry products.

The H5N2 virus has since been identified in avian influenza cases in commercial flocks in Ontario and several U.S. states.

More than two dozen Ontario poultry farms were under quarantine last week after the H5N2 strain was identified on a turkey farm near Woodstock, Ont., earlier in the month.

“It certainly raises concerns: is this year out of the ordinary or is this the start of a trend? With one year, we can’t really say,” said Chelsea Himsworth, leader of veterinary science and diagnostics with the B.C. agriculture ministry’s Animal Health Centre.

Each case brings further trade and transportation restrictions for Canadian and U.S. producers as well as challenges for those who rely on American suppliers for eggs and live animals.

The trail of outbreaks has officials tracing the flight paths of migratory birds.

“I know one of the things that makes me concerned … is that we know that things like climate change alter migratory bird patterns. We’re starting to see flyways intersect that have never intersected before,” said Himsworth.

“Birds are commingling and potentially trading viruses that have never had contact with each other.… I think there is the potential for us seeing more and more of these virulent viruses coming into North America.”

Himsworth said it’s too early to draw connections between the H5N2 virus found in B.C. and those identified elsewhere. Researchers don’t know what species it ’s travelling in, although they’re paying closest attention to waterfowl, she added.

Researchers believe the H5N2 virus came from the mixing of a North American virus and a Eurasian one.

“My hypothesis would be that it probably originated up north where these birds were coming from and where they were intermingling,” she said.

“That kind of Arctic area, where the birds fly through and commingle, that would be the most likely starting place that would allow the birds to then travel to all sorts of different destinations.”

Himsworth is co-leader of a project

studying how the virus spread in B.C. The project could also lead to the development of an improved surveillance system.

“These outbreaks seem to really catch us by surprise,” she said. “It’s surprising that they are so surprising, given that they occur with relative frequency in the Frasier Valley. You think we would be able to develop a good way to predict it, but when you look at how the tools that we currently have, you can see where these viruses could fall through the cracks.”

Current monitoring efforts focus on

testing wild birds that die from other causes. Samples can be taken from live animals, but there are logistical challenges, she added.

Himsworth’s project is trying something new.

Researchers are using sediment collected from wetlands near the affected B.C. farms to hone molecular techniques that will identify the DNA of the virus in the animal’s feces.

“You might have a hundred birds making a donation to one sediment sample,” she said.

“We thought that would be a good

idea, but then it’s really like searching for a needle in a haystack, if you can imagine.”

Patrick Tang, a microbiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control and a contributor to the project, said researchers have identified avian influenza within the 250 samples they have collected but are still working to separate the highly pathogenic strain from the less serious ones.

Tang said the work should wrap up by fall, in time for another influx of birds. dan.yates@producer.com

AVIAN INFLUENZA

Device uses blood test to confirm bird virus The nanobiosensor is designed to speed results so outbreaks can be quickly contained

An innovation at the University of Guelph could help the poultry industry react more quickly to costly avian influenzas.

Suresh Neethirajan is still testing his nanobiosensor, but he said the portable device can quickly determine what type of virus is present,

which significantly reduces the lag that occurs as producers and officials wait for laboratory results.

Poultry flocks are regularly affected by avian influenzas, but it’s the highly pathogenic outbreaks that demand the greatest reaction.

“If it’s a low pathogen or high pathogen, then the decision has to be made very quick and rapidly,” said Neethirajan, an engineering professor with an interest in “nanoscale science and engineering for biological and agricultural systems.”

In the most severe cases, such as the recent H5N2 avian influenza outbreaks in British Columbia, Ontario and the United States, affected farms are quarantined, transportation restricted and strict biosecurity measures enforced to control the spread of the virus.

The H5N2 virus is noted for its high mortality rate.

It currently takes a laboratory several hours to confirm the pathogenic strain and then several days to confirm the subtype, said Neethirajan.

It’s instant. You’d be able to discriminate, classify and understand the strain level.

SURESH NEETHIRAJAN UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

“Sometimes they are overwhelmed with the requests from multiple farms, so the tool we have developed could possibly be used as a surveillance tool … by pre-screening in the farm itself before the sample could be sent to the lab if they want double confirmation,” he said.

“It will ease the workload of the animal health laboratories and also the labs such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency that are being run to diagnose and characterize the samples.”

Neethirajan’s test uses a blood sample, which he said could be administered by a producer screening for a low pathogenic flu.

The device uses microscopic particles to produce a colour change in the sample, which determines if the avian influenza is present. A second test can determine strain information.

“It’s instant. You’d be able to discriminate, classify and understand the strain level,” he said.

Neethirajan said the test, which has been in development for two and a half years, can detect H5N1 and H1N1 viruses but could be modified to detect the H5N2 virus that first appeared in North America late last year.

Further validation is needed before it can be commercialized, he added.

“The tool has the unique advantage of meeting the needs of the farmers, but also the high pathogenic rapid screening need of the governmentrelated veterinarians and safety inspectors,” he said. dan.yates@producer.com

QUICK FACTS ON ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS • Thirty to 50 percent of annual precipitation in the West occurs in just a few atmospheric river events, thus contributing to the water supply.

• The strongest of these rivers can create major flooding when they make landfall and stall over an area.

• They are a primary feature in the global water cycle and are tied closely to water supply and flood risks, particularly in western North America.

• The Pineapple Express, which brings moisture from the tropics near Hawaii to the U.S. West Coast, is a well-known example of a strong atmospheric river.

• A strong atmospheric river transports an amount of water vapour roughly equivalent to 7.5 to 15 times the average flow of liquid water at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

• These rivers are 400 to 600 kilometres wide and are present somewhere on Earth at any given time.

• Improved understanding of atmospheric rivers and their importance has come from a decade of scientific studies using new satellite, radar and aircraft observations and major numerical weather model improvements.

Alberta should brace itself for more flooding if scientific models are correct.

Eighty percent of the water in the Bow River is from snow melt originating in the Rocky Mountains.

Research shows water yield as down between 1971 and 2004, but the province has experienced serious and costly floods since 2005 that overwhelmed local infrastructure, said University of Calgary researcher Sandra Ungerson.

Some of the floods have been caused by “scary rain events,” she told the Bow River Basin Council’s science forum April 15 in Calgary.

Sudden bursts of high rainfall are happening around the world and are linked to an atmospheric river located south of the jet stream that transports water vapour around the world.

It can be responsible for huge dumps of rain under the right conditions.

Up to half of the rain in western

North America comes from this river, she said.

“We can’t anticipate who is going to get drowned and who is going to get missed,” she said.

The $5 billion flood of 2013 was the result of rapid snow melt and a deluge of rain in a short period, said Babak Farjad of the U of C. Part of his research is modelling future scenarios to make flood damage predictions up to 2066 based on past events going back to 1985.

Climate change, increased population and regional development all affect the watershed, and Farjad predicts the region will be more vulnerable to floods than drought.

The models consider water storage, vegetation, groundwater and surface water. From there, five temperature and precipitation scenarios are projected. Most of the models show that high stream flows could be earlier in spring with higher peak flows.

However, a reduction in annual overland flow and groundwater recharge is more likely in most years.

There could be more evapo-transpiration, which also affects the infiltration of water into the ground.

Jason Abboud of the U of C has found that the greatest household damage from the 2013 flood was from groundwater flooding.

He interviewed hundreds of homeowners, and many reported the surge of flood water came up through floor drains, toilets, sinks and cracks in the foundation.

Flood damages eventually cost more than $5 billion. Less than $2 billion was insurable damage.

Damage to a basement flooded by groundwater was estimated at $96,000, while a combination of groundwater and surface water inundation cost $240,000.

Abboud said more groundwater monitoring wells are needed to provide an early warning of approaching flooding.

“These could be relatively inexpensive,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

ALBERTA WATER QUALITY

Water monitoring key to those downstream from city Calgary official is confident drinking water is safe and has separate tests to look for pharmaceuticals

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Flushed toilets in Calgary could have dire consequences for someone downstream if bacteria, parasites and medicines are not cleared out during waste water treatment.

Monitoring stations are set up throughout the city looking for parasites such as giardia as well as things like caffeine from coffee drinkers’ urine.

They check water, snow dumps and storm water catchment ponds and gather samples from the Glenmore Reservoir, which supplies the city’s drinking water.

“We are meeting all our regulatory guidelines, and we are confident we have sufficient treatment in our drinking water plants,” said Norma Ruecker of the City of Calgary’s water department.

Ten to 30 cases of giardia are reported in Alberta annually, and it can be a devastating gastrointestinal disease if it gets in the water supply, she told the Bow River Basin Council’s science forum held in Calgary April 15.

The city is also looking for cryptosporidium and a host of bacteria and viruses.

As well, it identifies the source and species of the contaminants, which can come from other people, pets, livestock, wildlife or agricultural runoff. For example, muskrats living upstream could pass on giardia.

Other monitoring programs assess the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, ammonia, metals, PCBs, pesticides and other toxins.

Another area searches for pharmaceuticals, said Victoria Cooper of the Calgary water department’s water quality service.

Many water treatment systems were not designed to remove the residues from coffee drinking, birth control pills, pain medication and antidepressants. These might include codeine, ibuprofen or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.

Testing for these drugs takes place in the city as well as 15 kilometres away on the Highwood River.

“It is very unlikely pharmaceuticals in drinking water will have an impact on your health,” she said.

However, it is known that estrodial in birth control pills can affect fish and may cause a population to be entirely female.

The department also checks prescription rates in the city so that it can correlate what it is looking for in the water supply at levels as small as one part per trillion.

Storm water gets additional attention. Up until about 10 years ago, it passed untreated into the city’s rivers

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY ACT

Farmers fume over surface rights board compensation refusal

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TROCHU, Alta. — Alberta landowners are considering a court challenge to recover lease payments from the government when an energy company goes bankrupt.

Four hundred people gathered in Trochu April 9 at a Alberta Surface Rights Groups meeting to discuss a challenge, which includes setting up a $30,000 legal fund to argue a case in which a Vulcan area farmer is owed more than $112,000.

“It is a huge issue because there are thousands of these wells and there’s probably 50 or 60 companies that have gone bankrupt in the last five or

six months,” said Daryl Bennett, who represents the Action Surface Rights Association in southern Alberta.

Compensation is paid to cover the right of entry, loss of use and potential damages when a landowner and energy company sign an agreement.

The compensation agreement is reviewed every five years, and more landowners are discovering that no money is forthcoming because of company insolvency.

“You are not supposed to make a profit on what the oil companies are paying you. It is supposed to be compensation for your loss,” Bennett said.

“If these landowners are not being paid for their losses, they are being

forced to subsidize industry, and they are being force to subsidize the government.”

Landowners with oil and gas wells on their property who have appeared before the Alberta Surface Rights Board in the last couple years seeking compensation were turned down because the company was insolvent.

Provincial legislation says the government pays when that happens.

However, lawyer Keith Wilson of Edmonton, who specializes in agriculture and land use cases, said the board has said it cannot act because of provisions in the federal bankruptcy act.

“Section 36 of the Surface Rights Act says if the company does not pay or

refuses to pay, you make a claim and the government will chase the company,” he said.

“The reason they are not paying you is they are saying there is a problem with the federal bankruptcy act.”

He said Alberta is unique in the way it deals with energy companies and private landowners. It allows companies the right of access to subsurface resources but guarantees landowners a long list of rights, including guaranteed compensation.

Bennett shares the opinion of Wilson and lawyer Shaun Fluker of the University of Calgary, which is that the government is backing away from its obligations because of financial constraints. The money would have

to come out of general revenue.

A farmer often does not know who holds the lease, and if the company is bankrupt he does not know who is responsible for payments.

Fluker said the landowners have a strong case and could result in a long list of claims. The surface rights board should also be required to explain why it refused payments.

“Regulatory agencies have an obligation to give an explanation on a decision like this,” he said at the Trochu meeting.

“The board, at the very least, has to explain how it come to this conclusion.”

Alberta property rights advocate Lee Cutforth raised the issue with the province in his 2014 annual report.

“A recurring and persistent series of concerns has been expressed over the past year with respect to various applications of the Surface Rights Act,” said the report.

It said the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act interferes with orders for payment to landowners under Section 36 of the Surface Rights Act when the operator has filed for bankruptcy. Under these laws, the board apparently cannot remedy the situation without statutory changes.

Consultant Graham Gilchrist, formerly with the Alberta Farmer’s Advocate office, said these cases are growing. Firms are reneging on their fees to the orphan well fund and are not notifying landowners about upcoming compensation reviews.

Landowners who question what is happening are rebuffed.

“The companies say go away, we are not doing anything, we won’t do anything unless you force us,” Gilchrist said.

He said the government can intervene and make regulatory change.

The orphan fund is fully funded by the oil and gas industry through a levy administered by the Alberta Energy Regulator. The fees cover the costs of an abandoned well facility, pipeline abandonment and reclamation liability. However, the province has had to add money to the fund to cover the cost of a growing number of orphan wells.

The latest government figures from 2011 indicate 150,000 well sites have been abandoned. Of those, 100,000 were reclaimed while the remainder were sealed but no reclamation was done.

Karen Sinclair-Santos, counsel for the surface rights board said there are different avenues for landowners when a company is in receivership or bankrupt. Each case is heard individually under section 36 of the Surface Rights Act. If a company fails to make its lease or compensation payments the board may take away its access to the site and if payments are not made, all rights to the site are terminated. The board also may direct the minister of environment and sustainable resource development to pay the money out of general revenue.

There have been some cases since 2012 where payments were not made because of provisions under the federal bankruptcy act.

“There are a few decisions of the board, not very many, where section 69 of the bankruptcy act prevents the board from proceeding with a stay of enforcement,” she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

OIL WELL VERSUS FARMLAND

Farmers dispute energy company’s reclamation work Company says further restoration work around oil well is not needed

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

STAUFFER, Alta. — Dennis Murphy says a four acre well site on his farm has turned into a weed-riddled eyesore he wants cleaned up.

After seven years of arguing with regulatory authorities and the oil company holding the lease, he and his partner, Bonny Carson, have had enough.

Murphy says his dispute with Bonavista Energy is not over money.

He just wants the suspended oil well on his property cleaned up so he can farm it again.

“It has been a nightmare,” he said from his small mixed farm near Stauffer.

Added Carson: “We want to get our field back to farmable land again.

That is all we are asking.”

Some restoration work has been done, but the couple argues it was not done properly. They say the topsoil was not replaced properly, the field is full of ruts, quack grass and thistles and water does not drain because the grade was not restored.

They estimate a proper site remediation would cost about $40,000.

The issue started in 2007 when Encana Corp. obtained a lease on their farm. A contract was signed with the company, the site was cleared and a service road installed.

Encana eventually cancelled the well, sealed it with concrete and then transferred the lease to Bonavista Energy.

Colin Hennal, spokesman for Bonavista said in an email the company does not comment on specific landowner issues.

He said the company has held the lease since 2010 after acquiring it from Encana. The site was reclaimed

and a reclamation certificate was received from the Alberta Energy Regulator.

The company said it met the requirements of the Environmental and Sustainable Resource Development reclamation criteria, however the certificate was cancelled and that decision was appealed.

“Bonavista is aware of the issue and are working collectively with the Alberta Energy Regulator in an effort to resolve the landowner’s concerns but Bonavista does not agree that further work is necessary. Company representatives and land agents have been directly involved with this issue,” he wrote.

“Bonavista recently tried to resolve matters to the satisfaction of all parties but were unsuccessful. The landowners have filed another application to the Surface Rights Board that Bonavista will respond to,” he wrote.

Murphy and Carson have received annual compensation for the site, but Murphy refused to sign a new contract when the agreement came up for renewal before the surface rights board late last year until the area has been returned to its former state.

“We have been to the surface rights board with Bonavista twice now, once, with trespassing and with stealing soil off our land and the water issues,” said Carson.

The surface rights board is a quasijudicial tribunal that grants right of entry and works with landowners and operators to resolve conflicts over compensation when operators require access to private land or occupied crown land to develop subsurface resources such as oil, gas, and coal or to build and operate pipelines and power transmission lines.

in 1995.

Now he is close to 70 and thinking of retiring but wonders who would want to buy a pasture with four acres in that kind of condition.

The couple said they have maintained records and taken pictures to document their side of the story.

Edmonton lawyer Keith Wilson, who handles a lot of similar cases, said abandoned wells and lack of remediation are occurring more often in Alberta.

Landowners and mortgage holders consider these untended sites to be a liability.

“It happens way more frequently than people would think,” Wilson said at a public meeting in Trochu April 9.

“Government has no law to enforce timely abandonment or reclamation of these wells,” he said.

Lawyer Shaun Fluker of the University of Calgary, who also has experi-

ence in these disputes, said dealing with agencies and regulators is becoming increasingly difficult for landowners.

The issues have become politicized and disputes can end up in court, but judges may not be well equipped to handle them, he added.

Alberta property rights advocate Lee Cutforth raised these issues in his annual report submitted to government last year. His office is aware of problems where companies have not handled reclamations diligently.

“This office will begin a research project to identify and articulate specific ways to reduce the vulnerability of land owners in relation to abandoned or decommissioned resource infrastructure and to have the compensation structure better reflect the associated long-term risks,” said the report. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

75 YEARS AGO: APRIL 25, 1940 Saskatchewan agriculture minister James Taggart, chair of the Canadian Bacon Board, said the board was trying to decide what to do about the drop in hog prices, mainly attributed to there being more hogs and bacon in Canada than the country’s contract with Britain could absorb. Taggart also believed Britain planned to reintroduce rationing.

Pressure was mounting on the federal government to make an interim payment on the wheat that farmers delivered to the Canadian Wheat Board the previous fall. The Alberta Wheat Pool called for the payment in a resolution sent to Ottawa, while United Farmers of Canada president George Bickerton urged the government to do so under the War Measures Act. Stories about calls for an interim wheat payment were common in the paper in 1940.

50 YEARS AGO: APRIL 22, 1965 The Red River was inching its way up its banks, and premier Duff Roblin warned that flooding on the scale of 1948 could be expected. The meteorological branch of the federal transport department reported above-normal precipitation in most of the Prairies, with the exception, ironically, of Manitoba. Conditions created optimism for the upcoming growing season.

Two grain companies announced they would contract for tame mustard seed in 1965. Saskatchewan farmers were reported to be interested in the oilseed, which had previously been grown mainly in southern Alberta and Manitoba. Flash forward to 2015 and more than 80 percent of Canada’s mustard crop is now grown in Saskatchewan.

25 YEARS AGO: APRIL 26, 1990 Ottawa stopped the sale of a fertilizer supplement in Canada, which was said to be the first time such action had been taken in this country. Nitrozyme, which contained a hormone based on a seaweed extract, was registered as a growth aid for wheat, barley, canola and potatoes. Researchers had begun to notice that it didn’t work on barley, canola and wheat.

Farm debt review boards were busy in Saskatchewan, working with 7,341 farmers as of Feb. 13, which was more than 10 percent of the province’s producers. One-quarter to one-third of farmers had been through the board in some municipalities.

GRAIN MOVEMENT

AG NOTES

Short lines hope to recover with end of rail mandate

BOOST FOR FOOD EXPORTS

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association hopes Ottawa’s decision to remove mandatory grain hauling requirements will improve rail service for small shippers.

However, it conceded recently that the damage already caused to shortline railways will take years to correct.

“I think we’re resolved to the idea that service (from Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway) to small shippers and short-line railways can’t get any worse, it can only get better,” said Con Johnson, an association director and vice-chair of

Great Western Railway in southwestern Saskatchewan.

“Unfortunately, the damage has already been done.… When grain marketing changes were introduced, we had so many business opportunities as short lines, but we’ve since lost a lot of those opportunities and our reputation as reliable shippers and timely shippers is going to take years to get back.”

Association members met in Regina last month to discuss service issues during their annual general meeting.

Short-line railways depend on Canada’s Class 1 railway carriers — CN and CP — to deliver cars. However, weekly grain targets implemented by Ottawa in early 2014

reduced the number of cars delivered to small shippers and short line companies.

Johnson said some association members who attended the March meeting had not received a train in six weeks.

Other short lines were promised cars but had no idea how many would be delivered or what day of the week they would be arriving.

“The weekly mandates did force the railways to accomplish something. They did move some grain, so I guess we have to acknowledge that,” Johnson said.

“As short lines, though, the service that we received didn’t get any better and it probably got steadily worse.”

“There’s still absolutely zero ability to plan anything. We’re still shipping weeks and weeks behind schedule.

We have November contracts out there that we’re still trying to fill.”

Johnson said lack of rail car deliveries in southwestern Saskatchewan has caused a significant increase in the amount of grain being moved south by road.

“Just at our little port at Climax, Sask., … the estimate that they gave me was 18 to 28 trucks a day going south, and that’s just at one port,” he said. “Our road system was barely built for cars, so this traffic is just tearing our roads up. ” brian.cross@producer.com

The Canadian Food Exporters Association is receiving $2.1 million to boost international sales for the food processing industry.

The goal is to increase the number of small to medium-sized food, beverage and ingredient companies that export their products. This will increase export sales for Canada’s agri-food sector.

The funding will help the association attend international food trade shows, lead outgoing missions in prime markets such as Asia and organize in-store food promotions in the Middle East.

The food and beverage processing industry is the largest manufacturing sector in Canada, with 6,200 food and processing establishments.

DISTINGUISHED 2015 AGROLOGIST Kim McConnell, founder and former chief executive officer of AdFarm, was named the Alberta Institute of Agrologists’ distinguished agrologist for this year for outstanding accomplishments in advancing agriculture.

The award recognizes members and other individuals who have made significant contributions to the field of agrology in the province.

Under McConnell’s leadership, the agricultural communications and marketing firm was recognized for three years as one of Canada’s 50 best managed companies and by Canadian Business magazine as one of the best places to work in Canada.

He is a director on a number of company boards. McConnell was named to the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2012.

Agriculture Canada scientists at the Greenhouse and Processing Crops Research Centre in Harrow, Ont., will receive $225,000 in federal funding to help boost the global competitiveness of food-grade soybeans.

The project will evaluate Canadian soybean suitability for soy milk production. It is targeted mainly at the Asian soy food market, which was estimated at $880 million last year.

The researchers will work with the soybean industry to develop quality control tools to help ensure that crops meet the specific quality attributes that are in demand for soybeans in global markets.

Soybeans are the fourth-largest crop by seeded acreage returning $2.4 billion to Canadian farmers.

AGRIBITION HONOURS TWO INDIVIDUALS Canadian Western Agribition recently announced Ward Mortenson and Jim Smalley as the 2014 CWA Hall of Fame Inductees.

The award recognizes individuals for their longstanding service and outstanding contributions to CWA. Mortenson farms at Govan, Sask., and has been instrumental in the development of the swine show at Agribition. He was recognized at Agribition’s 40th anniversary as one of the exhibitors who had shown every year since the show began in 1971.

Smalley attended Agribition in 1975 after becoming the first farm news director at CKCK radio and television.

Over the 40 years of covering CWA, he has raised the CWA’s profile with his stories of exhibitors and visitors.

Smalley is the first news media personality to be recognized with the award.

DARMANI BIG BINS SALE www.darmani.ca

31,000 BUSHEL BIN SALE

â&#x20AC;&#x153;On farm storage is crucial to our farm organization. But It all adds up. When all the smoke cleared, overall on 2-3609 bin packages with unload/cross-air/fans set up and delivered, l saved close to $30,000 versus the nearest coop dealer. If I can save 1000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of dollars on grain storage on a more cost effective grain storage system, then that is the way I am going to go. I choose DARMANI not only because of savings, but I like both the simplicity of design and unique features they offer in one complete package. The Cross Air offers NO restrictions and the unload system keeps up with my 10â&#x20AC;? auger. All it took was one phone call from leasing to final set up.â&#x20AC;?

TECHNOLOGY

CAMROSE BUREAU

GWYNNE, Alta. — The joke in Bret Chilcott’s family was that the Kansas farm boy wasted all the money he earned working on his father’s farm on flying lessons and model aircraft.

Chilcott has now combined his knowledge of farming, flying and model aircraft to design and build a plane to map agricultural land.

“This is about the resulting images that help farmers with real costs,” Chilcott said during the first Canadian demonstration of his AgEagle held April 11.

Unlike most other crop scouting aircraft, the AgEagle downloads pictures from the field instantly onto a computer in a usable form. It takes 17 minutes to fly over and photograph a quarter section field.

When Chilcott first met with U.S. farmers about the airplane design, their top three concerns were landing the aircraft, launching and flying it and downloading and processing the data.

“Their No. 1 concern was how to land it,” Chilcott said during a demonstration of the 56-inch fixed-wing airplane.

The AgEagle uses software from DroneDeploy, which allows the airplane’s route, landing and take-off spot to be preprogrammed. The software communicates with the airplane via cellphone frequency and can land it on its own.

Don Macyk, who farms near Waskatenau, Alta., can see the appeal of aerial scouting. For example, aerial photographs could give a farmer more information when deciding whether to keep or rip up a winterkilled winter wheat field.

“It gives a much better sense of what proportions are optimal or suboptimal in the field,” Macyk said.

The airplane doesn’t eliminate field scouting, but it may reduce the amount of time that scouts and farmers spend assessing and looking for trouble, he said.

“When you see something from above, you see things differently than on the ground.”

Norm Lamothe of Cavan, Ont., has signed on to be an AgEagle dealer in his area but also plans to use the aircraft to scout his soybeans as well as other nearby fields.

“In our area it will be used to predict yield maps mid-season and identify the areas we should be walking.”

Airplane, launcher, training, support and enough data for 16,000 acres costs $19,950, as well as an annual $2,250 fee, said Markus Weber, a coowner of AgEagle Canada, along with Don Hoover and their consulting company Serecon of Edmonton.

Mapping costs 19 cents an acre after 16,000 acres.

Weber said it is unlikely that wheat, barley and canola growers will use more than 16,000 acres of mapping data, unless they run into problems with pests or insects.

The digital maps can be emailed to an agronomist or other experts to help identify problems or monitor growth throughout the season.

Chilcott said he funded the company by touring the aircraft through corn and soybean areas of the United States.

He said 140 have been sold and are in use in Canada and the U.S., and he expects to sell an additional 500 to 700 airplanes this year. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Farming from above Crop scouting aircraft downloads pictures instantly to help farmers assess trouble spots

TOP, CLOCKWISE: Markus Weber is one of the owners of the rights to AgEagle in Canada. He was at a farm at Gwynne, Alta., demonstrating the robotic airplane and its use in agriculture.

AgEagle designer Bret Chilcott puts information into the computer for his robotic airplane. Normally, the plane is hooked up through cell towers, but problems with cell connections caused technical issues Chilcott had to deal with before the launch.

Weber places the AgEagle into its launcher while Chilcott supervises.

It’s a successful launch for the robotic designer. Chilcott has sold about 140 and expects to sell another 500 to 700 this year.

The motor of the AgEagle is at the back to reduce damage if it crashes. Chilcott designed the plane specifically for agriculture.

ALBERTANS ARE HEADED TO THE POLLS MAY 5 AND RURAL ISSUES HAVE BARELY BEEN MENTIONED IN ANY OF THE ELECTION PLATFORMS DISCUSSED BY THE MAJOR PARTIES. WE’VE TALKED TO CANDIDATES IN THREE CONTENTIOUS RIDINGS.

DISAPPOINTMENT

LITTLE BOW

Voters not pleased with fiscal crisis; Wildrose defection People are asking why corporations aren’t paying their share of taxes, says NDP candidate

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

John Kolk is in an odd position during the 2015 Alberta provincial election.

In 2012, the Picture Butte farmer lost to Wildrose candidate Ian Donovan, a farmer from Mossleigh, Alta., while running for the Progressive Conservatives in the Little Bow riding.

However, Donovan crossed the floor to the PCs in November, a month before the mass defection of Wildrose candidates to the PCs. Now Donovan is running for the spot Kolk had in his sights three years ago.

Kolk is circumspect in his comments about the situation.

“Politics is the art of the possible, and if you’re not inside of the room, its pretty hard to know … what drove people to decisions,” he said.

However, he is worried that the Wildrose floor crossing will affect voter turnout.

“I think politics is a lot about expectations. People voted with certain expectations in mind, and I think there was some disappointments that came out of that,” he said.

“I suspect that we’ll have a few more people that say, ‘well, I’m not going to vote because I’m disappointed with what happened last time.’ ” Donovan has been knocking on doors in the riding, putting miles on his F150 4 X 4 pickup as he traverses a region twice the size of Prince Edward Island.

He said April 14 that people ask about his decision to switch parties, and his answer has the flavour of one often uttered.

“I started in a party that was willing to have free votes, to represent constituents, and we became a party that wasn’t. We became hypocrites,” Donovan said while walking between houses in Coaldale. “(The Wildrose party) did everything they said they wouldn’t do … and when I started calling them out on it, it made it very uncomfortable to be one of the members in the caucus.”

Some PC candidates have reported cool receptions at the door in southern Alberta, but Donovan said that hadn’t been his experience.

I suspect that we’ll have a few more people that say, ‘well, I’m not going to vote because I’m disappointed with what happened last time.

IAN DONOVAN PC CANDIDATE

“I’m not going to say everybody’s 100 percent happy, but I’ll say at the doors it’s 70, 75 percent of people can understand and once you actually explain to them, there’s probably another 10 percent,” he said.

“And there’s 15 percent that are never going to be happy that I crossed, and that’s understandable.”

David Schneider, a farmer from Kircaldy, Alta., has taken up the Wildrose banner for Little Bow. He and Donovan served together for years on Vulcan County council, and each has served as reeve.

Wildrose candidate David Schneider says provincial revenues and expenditures are the most important issue.

PHOTO

Schneider did not provide an interview before press time, but his emailed profile said provincial revenues and expenditures are the most important issue.

He said the Wildrose plan for fiscal management promises smaller government, no tax increases and economic growth. Schneider was critical of the recent provincial budget, which increased fuel taxes and added a health-care levy while making no changes to corporate tax and royalties.

“If it’s true that we all contributed to the fiscal crisis situation we now face, shouldn’t we all pull our share in addressing it?” Schneider wrote.

“The average family that just wants to hook onto their trailer and go into the mountains for recreation for a weekend has been hit hard.”

Lack of tax increases for corporations also figures highly in NDP candidate Bev Muendel-Atherstone’s campaign. She said it is a frequent comment from residents.

“People are really mad, people are unhappy,” she said while door knocking in Coalhurst last week.

“When the premier (Jim Prentice) asked, ‘where would you like to see the taxes raised,’ and when Albertans said, ‘we’d like to see it raised from corporations,’ and then it’s not being from corporations but it’s being on the backs of the working people … they’re saying, ‘why can’t corporations pay their fair share?’ ” Muendel-Atherstone, a former school psychologist, also ran for the

NDP in 2012 and said she is hearing some of the same concerns over health care and education.

Little Bow has never elected an NDP MLA, but she thinks the tide is turning.

“This time there’s a real motivation for change. We’ve had the same government in power for 44 years, and I think people are finally seeing that you can’t keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect it to change.”

The PCs and the Wildrose are two sides of the same coin, said Muendel-Atherstone.

Neither she nor Donovan have heard concerns specific to agriculture, though both said high electrical rates have been mentioned, as well as water treatment and water supply issues.

Schneider wrote in his profile that Wildrose would entrench property rights for landowners and amend bills to further protect them.

Property rights issues were among the topics that gained traction for the Wildrose in 2012 and resulted in an electoral sweep of southern Alberta, with the exception of two Lethbridge ridings.

Little Bow Liberal candidate Helen McMenamin, a writer and researcher, said she is hearing concerns about lack of funding for rural infrastructure and seniors’ home-care, hospice and sub-acute care.

The Liberals are functioning under interim leader Dr. David Swann, while former leader Dr. Raj Sherman

Bev Muendel-Atherstone, NDP candidate in the Little Bow riding, erects an election sign in Coalhurst, Alta., April 13. | BARB GLEN PHOTO

is also working on the campaign.

“Dr. Swann is well known and well respected,” said McMenamin, adding that Sherman’s continued involvement is like having two leaders.

The party has not fielded candidates in all ridings. McMenamin said it is focusing on candidates where there is already a strong Liberal base.

She ran in the 2012 election in the Cardston-Taber-Warner riding. barb.glen@producer.com

STRATHMORE–BROOKS

Property rights, health care among rural concerns The labour shortage is an issue in Brooks, Alta., while Strathmore residents have infrastructure concerns

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The diverse riding of StrathmoreBrooks has a clean slate of candidates vying for votes in Alberta’s May 5 election.

The riding is located east of Calgary and spans the rural communities between Strathmore and Brooks.

It was held by Wildrose member Jason Hale before he joined nine party members, including leader Danielle Smith, in a mass floor crossing to the government side that caused accusations of betrayal among some voters.

Hale, a Bassano area farmer who was elected in 2012, decided not to run again and opened the door to fresh candidates.

Derek Fildebrandt, the high profile Canadian Taxpayer Federation director, is running for the Wildrose, while Molly Douglass, long time reeve of the County of Newell, is running for the Conservatives. Businessperson Einar Davison of Hussar represents the Alberta Party and Lynn MacWilliam, a Bassano town

councillor, is running on the New Democratic ticket.

Fildebrandt does not live in the riding but plans to move to Strathmore in the next couple months.

He had considered running for the Wildrose leadership following the defection of Danielle Smith but instead gave his support to Brian Jean.

Actively campaigning even before the writ was dropped, he has learned that voter concerns are not based on geography.

“They understand that some of those things that made Alberta great are not as strong as they used to be,” he said.

Voters want more priority placed on replacing and maintaining infrastructure, schools and seniors’ care centres, whether they live in urban or rural areas.

He said they are also worried about the government taking on more debt as oil prices fall and demands for a better quality of life increase.

“If we keep going into debt, that is going to crowd out the fiscal capacity of the provincial government to the

Derek Fildebrandt, candidate for Wildrose, says residents are concerned about property rights and immigration issues. point where we are spending more on interest payments than we are on infrastructure,” he said.

Residents of Brooks consider the need for labour at the JBS Canada beef plant a serious issue, especially since the federal government changed the rules for temporary foreign workers.

“If there is a divisive issue in the community, I think it is that,” he said.

“Alberta needs to step up and take a greater role over our own immigration and temporary foreign worker policies that we have the power to do under the constitution.”

The constituency is also rich in natural gas and oil and has seen conflicts over property rights.

“There are a lot of property owners who are not being treated fairly,” he said.

“They are not having their surface rights respected and we have got to fix that. Property rights are sacrosanct. They are not something you have on paper that can be taken away by politicians.”

NDP candidate Lynn MacWilliam

has been involved with the party on a federal level since 1993, working with leaders such as Audrey McLaughlin, Alexa McDonough and Jack Layton.

Being a social democratic candidate in a conservative region is hard work but not discouraging.

There are also many new Canadians in this riding who do not have a history with the PC dynasty, so she hopes their votes may go in a different direction.

Voters are telling her they are disenchanted with the current provincial government but have indicated they are unsure of how they might vote.

They are dissatisfied with long wait times to see medical specialists and crumbling infrastructure across the province.

“Every municipality in this province has issues with infrastructure.

That is something that really has to be worked on,” she said.

She hopes her party is listened to when it comes to providing adequate funding to municipalities for con-

PC candidate Molly Douglass, says residents remain optimistic but are worried about increased taxes and reduced spending on services. struction projects.

Conservative candidate Molly Douglass is encountering a large share of undecided voters who are worried about the impacts of the Conservative government budget with its increased taxes and reduced spending.

“This is more unique this election than probably in the past,” she said.

She is also meeting voters who remain optimistic about the province’s future.

“People are very optimistic. In Alberta we are still a strong province financially speaking, but we need to learn to be fiscally responsible and I think the government has developed a plan for that,” she said.

She is a fourth generation rancher from north of Gem and has taken a leave of absence as reeve of the County of Newell.

Davison did not respond to requests for interviews before press deadline. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

LAC LA BICHE– ST. PAUL–TWO HILLS

VOTER DISSATISFACTION

Disgust may spark upset in PC support Residents frustrated over higher taxes, budget cuts

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ST. PAUL, Alta. — Apathy and cynicism would win if they were running in the riding of Lac La Biche–St PaulTwo Hills.

They are the two biggest challenges facing the Wildrose and Progressive Conservative candidates in the northeastern Alberta constituency.

Wildrose candidate Dave Hanson said he is hearing a lot of “unrest and dissatisfaction” from voters who believe a change of government is required in the province after 44 years.

“A lot of people, when I first approach the door, they say they are so disgusted they don’t want to vote at all,” said Hanson.

He said voters are upset with a $5 billion deficit in a province rich in oil resources, a recent budget that increased taxes and an overall sense of dissatisfaction. It has all left them wanting a change in government, he added.

“It’s not necessarily us, just any change. Even people who were strong PC supporters say we need a change,” said Hanson, who hopes to channel that unrest into Wildrose votes.

“I think we’re going to do very well here.”

The defection of 11 members of the Wildrose party to the PC government in December has also been raised.

“Every door I knock on asks me about the floor crossing. They say they are very disappointed and felt betrayed.”

Shane Saskiw, the riding’s Wildrose MLA, was one of five members who didn’t cross the floor to join the government. However, he stepped down when the election was called.

PC candidate Darrell Younghans has been forced to defend the government’s budget and decisions at the doorstep.

“There are some people that are a little upset of the budget that was released,” said Younghans, a Heinzburg farmer. “The majority of time when you explain it to them and what it means to the average Albertan, I think they feel a little more assured.”

A recent call from premier Jim Prentice helped Younghans with questions about the budget.

“We talked bluntly about the budget.

I felt very enlightened and a little more ready to go and defend some of the policies he is putting forward,” said

Darrell Younghans, PC candidate, is hearing a lot of budget concerns.

Younghans, who fought a tough threeway race for the PC nomination.

Voters were apathetic during his nomination race, and Younghans is worried the apathy will carry through to the election, when few people bother to vote.

“People have had enough of politicians in general.”

The mixed grain and cattle farmer said few agriculture issues have been raised during the campaign. He hears from voters who don’t like the recent four cent a litre tax on fuel, and lingering grain transportation concerns have also been raised.

Both candidates said they hear concerns about the need to improve rural health care. The government released a report before the election on ways to improve rural health care, including returning autonomy to rural decision

makers.

“That is how I am defending it,” said Younghans.

Tamara Grolmus of Lottie Lake, Alta., has problems with the recent budget, which increased taxes on fuel, cigarettes and alcohol. She said it has convinced her to change her vote from PC to Wildrose.

“Increased taxes makes it hard to provide for your family.…” Grolmus said during a break from her job in a St. Paul store.

“It doesn’t seem like the tax system is set up for the lower and middle class. I want the higher classes and corporate to pay their share.”

Rodney Godziuk of Myrnam is voting Wildrose once again. He’s still angry about former premier Alison Redford’s spending on trips to South Africa for Nelson Mandela’s funeral

David Hanson, Wildrose candidate, said many residents are saying they may not vote at all. and taking her daughter on government airplanes.

“To use people’s money to take family on trips is not right.”

Godziuk believes Prentice made a mistake by not increasing corporate taxes in the last budget.

“Instead, the government is taxing the poor, and the corporations who make millions are left alone.”

Karen Stafford of Elk Point said she is a “diehard conservative,” as are most of the people in the area.

However, she worries that Prentice’s arrogance may harm the local candidate.

PESTICIDE APPLICATION

Why calm air causes spray

BY RON LYSENG

More farmers and custom applicators are developing an aversion to inversion

WINNIPEG BUREAU

WHEN DO INVERSIONS OCCUR? Once formed, thermal inversions, which create pockets of cooler, unmixed air close to the ground, persist until the sun rises and warms the ground or until wind speed increases to mix stationary layers of air together. At sunrise, the inversion will be at its maximum intensity.

The farmer is behind on spraying.

It’s dead calm. Leaves are still. The sprayer is filled, ready to go. He climbs down from the cab and heads to the house for a nap.

Something’s wrong with this scene.

There’s spraying to be done and conditions couldn’t be better, so what is going on?

Government extension workers, chemical companies and spray specialists have spent decades preaching that farmers can prevent drift if they spray in the evening and early morning when it’s calm. Is this not true?

It is true, but it turns out that those so-called “ideal” conditions may not be so ideal after all. Conditions that seem perfect for pesticide application can actually be the best conditions to also cause spray drift.

It has to do with temperature inversion, a subtle condition that fools us into thinking that no wind is the same thing as no drift danger, according to

Jason Deveau, an application technology specialist with the Ontario agriculture ministry.

“Spray experts traditionally told us to spray first thing in the morning or in the evening when it’s calm. It seemed so logical. If a lot of wind was bad, then no wind must be terrific, right?” said Deveau.

“No. Absolutely wrong. Zero wind indicates you may be in a strong thermal inversion. Spray drift caused by an inversion is practically imperceptible. That’s why a little bit of breeze is better than no breeze.”

Deveau said a thermal inversion is a situation in which colder air next to the ground does not mix with the layer of warmer air above it. The normal convection process has halted.

“We’re all standing in a lava lamp of bubbling air, normally. Air is continually percolating in convection cells all around us,” he said.

“Bubbles of warm air rise and displace colder air that falls. It stirs the air. It disperses and dilutes particles and odours and other airborne sub-

stances such as pesticide products.

But when you’re in a strong thermal inversion, that stir r ing action doesn’t occur. So anything that’s already suspended in that cold layer at the ground remains trapped. It has nowhere to go. Concentrated products like pesticides don’t become dispersed like they normally would.”

Deveau said only three things can cause those suspended particles to move away or dissipate in an inversion: • If the farmer is lucky, convection will get going again with heat from the sun so that air starts to bubble up and down. All the ingredients trapped next to the surface start to dissipate broadly over a wide area in non-harmful manner.

• If not so lucky, that slab of nasty air will flow like water, slowly finding its way downhill, even if it seems like a perfectly flat field.

• If the wind picks up at the right time, it will push that slab laterally and nobody knows where it will

drift end up. It can travel for kilometres in any direction, moving not only vapour but also droplets of mist.

“When you read the labels, you see that many of them tell you to never spray during a thermal inversion,” he said.

“Some labels in the States say do not spray if a thermal inversion is anticipated within 24 hours before you’re done spraying. If you do, you’re off label.” ron.lyseng@producer.com

Spray drift caused by an inversion is practically imperceptible. That’s why a little bit of breeze is better than no breeze.

JASON DEVEAU ONTARIO AGRICULTURE

Avoid the inversion: what producers can do

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Knowing inversion conditions is the first step to avoiding pesticide misapplication.

“The bad news: we have a thermal inversion to some degree just about every day during spray season,” said Jason Deveau of Ontario’s agriculture department.

“When we have that very still air, or stagnation as they call it in the States, that’s a thermal inversion.”

Deveau said a thermal inversion reaches its climax in late evening, when farmers like to spray.

The layer of warm air just above that layer of cool air at ground level serves as a ceiling. The spray can either sit under that hot air ceiling, or it can move.

“It’s just biding its time, waiting for a slight wind or looking for a slight downhill grade to draw that slab of nastiness away,” he said.

“If you’re spraying a volatile chemical, that product will continue to offgas and feed this layer of nastiness from below. What makes it so devastating is the fact that it’s so unpredictable.”

Deveau said the new chemistries coming to market have been engineered to make them less volatile than previous generations of pesticides.

However, he thinks mitigating circumstances, such as the water treatment that growers add to their tank, may have a negative impact and return these new chemicals to their original volatile state.

He said this creates the potential for a spray drift nightmare, and nobody will even realize what has happened because thermal inversion can carry small particles and volatile chemicals many kilometres.

Deveau said Washington State University recently released research on inversions and other means by which volatile pesticides move offtarget.

A vineyard in an isolated location had long been experiencing mysterious crop damage. One of the researchers happened to be visiting the vineyard for other reasons and noticed what appeared to be glyphosate damage.

“Glyphosate damage seemed unlikely because there were no farms or other agricultural enterprises for miles around,” he said.

“They finally determined that glyphosate was caught in the dew on farms located miles away. Trace amounts evaporated with the dew

Pesticide sprayed during a thermal inversion can stay suspended close to the ground until the air warms or the wind picks up. | FILE PHOTO and was caught up in the precipitation cycle, and rained down in a more diluted state on the distant grape crop.

“It’s something nobody likes to talk about because there’s just no way to control it. It’s the precipitation cycle of nature, and this is what happens when you introduce a new product into that c ycle. It’s an unpopular subject. There may be ways to mitigate the damage, but no way to predict it.

“There’s an economic side to this also. When I go out to teach stewardship and best practices, I figure that every drop I can keep out of the environment is an extra drop working for the applicator or the grower.”

Deveau thinks people have relied too heavily on nozzle technology to solve their problems.

He said it is not about the nozzles themselves but how they are used.

The best nozzle can be used incorrectly, and in the right hands the cheapest and simplest hollow cone in a 100 degree flat fan can handle a wide range of tasks.

“It’s all about understanding how droplets behave,” he said.

“That’s what growers and applicators need to think about. Physical clues will tell you whether or not it’s safe to spray. If it’s clear, quiet and dry the night before, you’re probably going to be in for a strong inversion.

“If you get up at 5 a.m. and there’s a light fog hanging over the ground, you are now in an inversion. That fog is showing you the layers. Air above the fog is warmer. It’s showing you where it’s cold enough for water to condense at a certain height.

“If you see dust hanging in the air, your spray is going to do the same thing. If the weatherman says you’re in a high pressure zone, listen to him.

High barometric pressure is another good indicator.”

He said spraying in the evening and morning is still a good idea because

conditions are generally good. The exception is a thermal inversion. “(Prairie spray drift expert) Tom Wolf has a fool proof method of determining for absolute certain whether or not you’re in a thermal inversion,” he said.

“Get a 50 foot pole and mount a very sensitive thermometer on top and put it up in your yard. Have a similar thermometer at ground level at the foot of the pole. Compare the two readings.”

Deveau and Wolf recently published a new fact sheet, Thermal Inversions and Spray Drift, which can be found at www.sprayers101. com.

WARM, WET SPRING March, like most prairie temperatures of the past three decades, was warmer than average.

The frost-free zone of the Prairies has risen dramatically since the 1960s.

Extremes in both temperature and precipitation are expected to be the norm in the coming decades. The Canadian Prairies exemplifies this premise with wetter regions in Alberta and Saskatchewan and drought in southern Manitoba.

WEATHER

Extreme events rise with temperatures A longer growing season may come with more regular droughts and heat waves, says researcher

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The jet stream and storm paths are becoming loopier and lazier, resulting in more extreme weather over the Prairies and Great Plains as the planet warms.

Despite having what felt like colder winters and summers in the past few years, Western Canada is warming.

The region’s frost free days have jumped by about a month since the 1960s, while days above 35 C have doubled and those below -40 C have fallen to almost nothing from a half dozen.

Elaine Wheaton, a University of Saskatchewan researcher, says the trend to increased temperatures is long term.

The data shows a warmer prairie landscape, with nearly annual rises in average seasonal temperatures.

“Summer has seen some dramatic changes to the 1960s. Frost free in the early 1960s lasted 105 to 110 days. We have hit 140 and better in recent years,” she told a recent Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists meeting.

“Plants and animals are having to adjust to these trends,” she said.

Aspen poplar now blooms a month earlier, which is a problem for fruit growers because bushes and trees that bud early can freeze when temperatures get colder again.

As well, culex tarsalis mosquitoes and ticks get going earlier.

“We are starting to see pest species that were once limited to warmer regions in the U.S. showing up on the Prairies,” said Wheaton.

Changing jet stream and storm stream patterns are also resulting in more weather extremes.

Temperatures from 1948-2013 show an overall increase. Snow cover that was 12 centimetres in March in the 1960s is now nearly zero.

“Precipitation is less predictable

than it used to be,” Wheaton said.

“Plant hardiness zone changes are at least one half zone change, and most of the Canadian changes are in 2, 3 and 4. In Saskatchewan, there is a lot more 3 and 4a and 4b.… Using the North American Drought Monitor, we can see an extreme drought in California reaching up to North Dakota and Minnesota and southern Manitoba, so there is real drought near by.”

She said a strong, later season El Nino condition currently exists, which might translate into a warm, dry summer on the Prairies.

Wheaton said the type of droughts now seen in the United States can also happen on the Prairies, and farmers shouldn’t rule out severe droughts occurring without much warning.

“We are likely to see accelerated changes in above average conditions, milder winter, decreased snow cover, increased heat waves. Past droughts may seem mild compared with future droughts,” she said.

“Increased potential for major rainstorms and floods is a reality.…

The 2002 drought reached places like Meadow Lake and northeastern Alberta, and grasslands were badly injured. It wasn’t that long ago.”

However, there might be an upside.

Longer warm seasons and greater heat units will allow more crop yields and biomass to be produced on the Prairies and Plains in the next 10 years, which will result in more cropping options and greater profitability.

“Farmers need to spend more time and resources monitor ing the weather and planning for problems,” Wheaton said.

“Enhanced knowledge of opportunities and of issues such as insects, diseases and weeds will be important to producers.” michael.raine@producer.com

The same technology that manages overlap and application rates in agriculture has found a home in the oil and gas sector.

The industry has long dealt with its non-toxic drilling waste by spreading it on farmland, but that often resulted in material pooling near field headlands or at the edges of pastures.

As well, application was often difficult because the process included placing pylons in fields and providing maps to vacuum truck operators. These guidance tools became challenging to manage after dark, and there were often application errors.

Sometimes these problems resulted in fines and other times landowners were disappointed in the outcomes and refused to allow the practice to continue.

Regulators have recognized in recent years that the industry is using GIS mapping strategies to provide greater guarantees that the drilling waste stays where it was applied.

As a result, companies have been given more liberal application boundaries and allowed to selfreport.

However, application technologies haven’t kept up with the mapping.

Summit Liability Solutions of Calgary is changing that.

The company, which provides land-spray application and regulatory compliance services, has developed the oil and gas industry’s first precision land-spray system based on tools farmers have been using for years.

Marissa Rechmann, Summit’s head of business development, recently told the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists that the company wanted to offer its clients a better service.

“Today we are achieving compliance. There are going to be no noncompliance events, letters, names in the paper or fines. There is a

long-ter m cost savings, and it enhances relationships for our clients with landowners, enforcement (bodies) and the public in general,” she said.

“We looked at agrologists for leadership here. We had professional agrologists on staff and we partnered with (Calgary based) Hemisphere and we used their Outback systems to create equipment that allowed us to create an application map and utilize a rate controller and an (overlap prevention) system.”

The result was the S3S Summit Earth navigator.

“It is like having an environmental specialist onboard the vac truck 24 hours a day,” Rechmann said.

Al Scholz of the SIA said the crossover between farming technology and other industries is becoming more common.

“People often think agriculture might be inheriting technology from others, but it’s the other way around.

Agriculture leads in many areas,” he said.

“About 25 percent of agrologists in Saskatchewan are doing some work in this area, and it is growing.”

Sixty percent of professional agrologists in Alberta are performing environmental services.

Summit now works on water compliance systems for the oil and gas business, fleet management and adding telematics, which provides remote installation of application maps and recovery of as-applied maps.

Water licences are allocated based on the location of a well or surface body, rates of draw and total removal. With many water trucks serving an area, it can be difficult to manage that resource, Rechmann said.

“We are going to offer a compliance solution for this as well, and that too is a first, based on precision agriculture tools that farmers have been using for years, in some cases,” she said. michael.raine@producer.com

and Saskatchewan to protest TransCanada’s Energy East project, which would see an existing natural gas line converted and extended to carry diluted bitumen from the Alberta oilsands to St. John, N.B., for export.

The pipeline would be able to move 1.1 million barrels of oil a day, but opponents say the existing pipeline is 40 years old, spills are inevitable and the risk is too great.

Gotschall said his opposition to Keystone stemmed from the risk to water and the way TransCanada conducted itself. He believes Canadian landowners should educate themselves about Energy East and the company.

“In Nebraska, we fought very hard against the taking of private land for a private company’s profit,” he said in an interview. “ ‘No eminent domain for private gain’ was a big part of our messaging.”

He said many landowners sold their land to TransCanada because they believed the company when it said it could take their land whether they agreed or not.

He urged landowners who signed easements with the original pipeline that is now proposed as Energy East to find the documents and see if the terms still apply.

“In my opinion, if I was a landowner here I would be fighting tooth and nail to get a new easement with new terms with new payment that protects your interest for this type of product because 40 years ago they didn’t know what diluted bitumen was,” he said. “I would argue those easements don’t cover putting diluted bitumen” in that line.

However, he said water is the biggest issue when it comes to pipelines.

He and Council of Canadians president Maude Barlow both said the question isn’t if there will be pipeline spill, but when.

The Keystone XL line was proposed to travel over the Ogallala aquifer, a shallow aquifer located under the U.S. Plains region, including Nebraska.

“It provides over 80 percent of the drinking water for the state,” Gotschall said. “It provides 30 percent of the agricultural irrigation water for our country.”

Nebraska irrigates more acres than any other state and is the top producer of red meat, he said.

Three in four jobs are directly related to agriculture in Nebraska, and the state has an agricultural economy of more than $22 billion. As a result, Gotschall said a $12 billion pipeline isn’t that significant when considering what losing part of the state’s agricultural production would mean.

The bitumen that is expected to move on Energy East would require the addition of chemicals such as benzene to push it through the line, making it of even greater concern.

Barlow said the pipeline would cross 1,000 waterways, which in Saskatchewan includes South Saskatchewan River, Moose Jaw River and Swift Current Creek. It would also pass within 15 kilometres of Buffalo Pound Lake, which provides drinking water to Regina and Moose Jaw. karen.briere@producer.com

Gov’t holds back pork sector: Maple Leaf President Michael McCain takes aim at policies that restrict barn builds and use of temporary foreign workers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Manitoba and Canadian governments are sabotaging their hog industry’s chances at success, says Maple Leaf Foods president Michael McCain.

Their failure to work with farmers, processors and exporters to create a world-leading industry has already led to declining production. It will get worse unless those governments assist industry to better compete internationally.

“Those other jurisdictions (like Denmark and the U.S.) will beat us to the punch if they maintain that balance between production and processing, pigs and people, while we tie ourselves in knots with moratoriums, labour program changes, status quo thinking on risk management and timid approaches on raising investment capital,” McCain said in a speech to the Manitoba Pork Council annual meeting April 15.

Maple Leaf Foods, which owns Canada’s biggest hog slaughter plant in Brandon as well as other major meat processing plants, has long complained about the Manitoba government’s moratorium on new hog barn construction. It says the moratorium has caused slaughter hog numbers to drop to the point that t h e B ra n d o n s e c o n d s h i f t ha s dropped to half its capacity.

As well, the federal government has made it harder for plants to hire foreign workers. It means Maple Leaf would have trouble finding enough people to staff its plant even if the number of slaughter hogs in Manitoba rises.

McCain said Manitoba is one million pigs per year short of what it needs for its slaughter and processing industry. As well, the Brandon plant is 350 people short of require-

ments to run full-out.

He called the federal restrictions on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program a classic case of “shooting yourself in the foot” and said it undermines the government’s robust efforts to open new markets to Canadian goods.

“While the government negotiates important new trade deals that are critical to our industry, its moves in the Temporary Foreign Worker Program severely impacts our ability to take any advantage of this new international market access,” said McCain.

He said the roadblocks that governments have put in the industry’s way have resulted in lost opportunities.

It’s a matter of challenging long-term survival.

“Unless we achieve plant capacity utilization, per unit manufacturing

and distribution costs and (product by product) operating overheads on par with our U.S. and global competitors, it means we will lose ground to them,” said McCain. ed.white@producer.com

LACOMBE BULL SALE

More signs of producer optimism as bull sale season winds down

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — This year’s spring bull season could be one to remember with record prices and renewed faith in the beef business.

“Everybody is fairly optimistic,” said Hereford breeder Bruce Butler of New Norway, Alta.

Butler is chair of the Central Alberta Agriculture Society, which hosted the historic Lacombe Bull Sale held April 14. The consignment sale has been running for 106 years in a sales barn that has been named a heritage building.

“We’ve got a good group of consignors who come every year and good volunteers who keep it going,” he said.

Those who run the sale are committed to providing a good venue for smaller producers looking to market bulls to a wider audience.

The sales area was full of buyers last week, and bidding was active among those who still need new genetics at this time of year.

“A lot of guys with a larger cow herd start calving now so they don’t turn the bulls out till July,” said Graham Sharp, who raises Shorthorns.

This sale was once a major event, running for three days with more

than 300 registered bulls on offer.

Held on the second Tuesday of April, it is the last of the spring sales in Western Canada.

Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn were on offer this year.

The sale grossed $393,750.

Three Shorthorn bulls averaged $4,733, 33 Hereford bulls averaged $4,788, 37 Angus bulls averaged $4,832 and 19 open commercial heifers averaged $2,250.

The high seller was consigned by Ken Prichard, owner of Glenrose Polled Herefords and Angus of Camrose. It sold for $7,500 to Earl Kehler of Fort Saskatchewan, Alta.

This spring has been a record setting year for purebred producers across the West.

FOOD SAFETY

Meat grading overhaul long time coming Despite an agreement in 2011 to change from three yield classes to five, changes have been stalled by regulations

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The head of the Canadian Beef Grading Agency would change the way millions of cattle are graded each year if she had her way.

Cindy Delaloye said proposals have been made since 2011 to change the current system of three yield classes to five, which would more accurately assess modern beef carcasses.

However, not much has happened.

“I don’t think it is modern science,” Delaloye said.

“It is the 1950s version of what a carcass yields. I would like to go to five yield classes, but I would like something more current.”

Grading legislation is covered in the Safe Food for Canadians Act of 2012, but the regulations have not been published.

“We were hoping that the modernization of regulations would be published in January of this year,” Delaloye told the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting, which was held in Ottawa March 10-12.

“We have been hearing ‘next year’ for a long time.”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the delay has been caused by the United States and the Beyond the Border initiative to standardize regulations between the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. is also considering a change to its beef grading system, but it too is moving slowly.

Charlie Gracey agreed that a major overhaul is needed, which would include adopting computerized systems to provide a more accurate assessment of every carcass when it comes down the rail.

“I think we should be moving to instrument grading. We’ve got the technology, we’ve got the knowhow,” said Gracey, who has written a lengthy research paper on how the system should be modernized.

He was involved in privatizing the Canadian grading system in 1995.

“We need an instrument measure to more accurately measure the yield of the carcass,” he said in an interview.

An agreement was reached in Calgary in 2011 to go to five yield classes, but it did not happen because of regulatory delay.

“I suggested a memorandum of understanding at which time the packers, the producers and the government had agreed the changes should be made,” Gracey said.

Yield is the proportion of the carcass that is salable, lean meat, while carcass quality is based on how much marbling is seen in the ribeye and is categorized as Canada

Prime, AAA, AA and A. The quality grades were developed at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in 1992 in Lacombe, Alta., along with the yield grade category, which is measured with a ruler.

The industry moved away from producing leaner carcasses to carcasses with more marbling. The result was fatter cattle with lower red meat yields.

Gracey said in his paper that yield is often confused with dressing percent, which is the ratio of the carcass weight to the live weight. Yield refers to the ratio between carcass weight and some representation of its lean meat content.

According to Canfax, two car-

casses weighing the same can differ significantly in the amount of red meat yield.

If both weigh 800 pounds, the amount of meat yield from a Yield 1 is 472 lb. while the meat yield from a Yield 3 is 424 lb.

There is a wide difference in revenue extracted from that carcass.

The Yield 3 carcass has 48 lb. more fat, which is considered a byproduct with much less value.

Gracey used to work with the now closed Natural Valley meat plant in Saskatchewan, which measured carcass rib- eye area and fat depths to assign more accurate grades.

That information was returned to producers.

Natural Valley paid more for superior yielding cattle to send a message to producers, who could make breeding adjustments.

“If we don’t tell the producers who are responsible for the breeding, that is, the next generation of calves, we don’t send the information back to them, how in the hell are we going to improve the industry,” said Gracey.

“The present ruler won’t give you a yield higher than 65 percent, and we were getting up to 72 percent.”

It is possible to have AAA carcasses with high yields from animals that are not over-fat.

“A third of the carcasses are above average on both yield and quality.

That is the kind we want to select for,” he said. “Research has shown

that with proper and careful selection in breeding and feeding, you can have both.”

Computerized grading has been available for more than 20 years.

The most recent development is a computer vision grading system called e+v Technology GmbH Beef Instrument Technology.

Developed in Germany, it is a stationary machine that photographs and analyzes the rib eye area between the 12th and 13th ribs of both sides of a carcass as it passes by on a moving rail. It can measure fat, rib eye width and rib eye length and calculates a lean yield percentage, which provides a lean yield grade and a marbling score.

In some situations, such as where it is difficult for the camera to get an accurate reading, a grader can provide an overall assessment or override the camera’s grading.

The technology is objective and assesses marbling under the same light and at the same distance from the rib eye based on minute calculations of red and white pixels within the traced muscle. This reduces the variability that is inherent with human assessment.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has approved its use, and it has been used at the Lakeside Packers plant near Brooks, Alta. since 201, Delaloye said in an email.

UPGRADING GRADING

U.S. expects more delays to changes

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Another two years might pass before any substantial changes are seen in the U.S. beef grading system.

“We feel very strongly that the grading system is important in the marketing of cattle and beef and extensive industry consensus is needed to change it dramatically,” said Lawrence Yates of the U.S. Agriculture Marketing Service.

He talked about the reasons for change at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association convention in San Antonio in February.

There is general agreement that instrument grading needs to be considered and that yield grades need new analysis. Procedures are in place for changes but require considerable research and data.

“Many standards were formulated in the ’60s, and clearly cattle have changed in that 50 year time frame,” he said.

The five yield grade classes in the United States includes fat thickness, kidney, pelvic and heart fat, hot carcass weight and rib eye area.

Research from Texas A & M University questioned the appropriateness of current yield grade equations, especially when based on the information from the rib eye area.

Deviation occurs in a carcass, and cattle are often graded as fatter than they really are. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

DIAGNOSTIC PUZZLE

Astrovirus found in cattle with unexplained nervous disease ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

Nervous diseases in cattle have proven difficult to diagnose

N

eurological disease in cattle continues to be a diagnostic challenge in the field.

There are a wide variety of causes of nervous diseases in cattle, and many of the symptoms are similar or have subtle clinical differences.

Nervous disease symptoms can be the result of BSE, rabies virus, infectious thromboembolic encephalitis caused by Histophilus somnus, listeriosis, lead toxicity, vitamin A deficiency and polioencephalomalacia (polio) caused by thiamine deficiency or high levels of sulfates in the diet.

It is difficult to diagnose these diseases based only on clinical signs so further tests on the brain and other tissues are often required.

Several recent scientific publications have looked at some of the

forms of neurological disease in cattle that have been a diagnostic dilemma and shed new light on these puzzling diseases.

Dr. Sergio Sanchez and researchers from the University of Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Western College of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Calgary School of Veterinary Medicine investigated 37 cases of encephalitis from Western Canada that were submitted to the diagnostic lab.

All of these cases were from feedlot cattle suffering from nervous disease that did not have a definitive diagnosis other than encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).

Most of these cases occurred in

winter, which meant it was highly unlikely that they were caused by a virus that relied on insect transmission, such as West Nile.

The tissues were tested for many of the potential viruses and bacteria that could have caused nervous disease, and most of the cattle tested negative for everything.

One case surprisingly tested positive for rabies virus, which emphasizes the importance of looking for that disease diligently because of the potential for transmission to people.

However, the study demonstrated that even with sophisticated testing, we still have a subset of nervous disease cases in cattle that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be explained.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions.

A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist.

Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;?

What does an outdoor show look like?

The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

Another research study that was recently published in California in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases used a similar set of samples from the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at University of California Davis.

They selected 32 cases of bovine encephalitis that had been previously not diagnosed and used a sophisticated mode of testing for viral genetic material known as viral metagenomics on all of the cases.

Once again, many of the cases remained a mystery, and no viruses were found.

Lesions examined However, a new astrovirus was discovered in three of the cases that was associated with the lesions in the brains of these cattle.

Astroviruses have been associated with neurologic disease in mink, but this is the first time it has been linked with nervous disease in cattle.

Further research is necessary, but it would appear that we have yet another potential cause of nervous disease in cattle that may help explain at least some of this subset of unexplainable nervous disease cases.

There seemed to be an increase this past winter in the number of veterinarians who reported nervous disease cases in weaned calves, which we currently diagnose as nervous coccidiosis.

They typically appear in weaned cattle during winter and are often associated with extremely cold weather.

It usually affects only a small percentage of animals, which typically have muscular tremors and will drop to the ground and have convulsions or â&#x20AC;&#x153;seizure-likeâ&#x20AC;? activity.

They may appear to recover temporarily but will continue to have episodes of seizures and will eventually be unable to rise. A high proportion of these affected cattle will eventually die.

As the name implies, this disease has been associated w ith outbreaks of coccidiosis, a parasite that typically causes diarrhea in young cattle.

It has been difficult to explain how the nervous form of this disease occurs, and many veterinarians have suspected that perhaps there is another cause to this form of nervous disease in cattle.

Perhaps new technology such as viral metagenomics can be applied to these nervous coccidiosis cases to determine if other agents are involved in these cases.

Viral metagenomics helped discover a new bovine astrovirus that potentially causes nervous disease.

Producers who see cattle in their herds that are exhibiting symptoms of nervous disease such as blindness, staggering, convulsions or nervous tremors should ask their veterinarian to attempt a diagnosis.

The veterinarian may need to submit tissues to the diagnostic lab to confirm a diagnosis.

Some of the conditions, such as rabies and lead toxicity, pose a public health risk, and it is important to rule them out.

CONSUMER OPINIONS

Animal care standards high: survey Many respondents also believe food grown in the province has better quality

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A new survey on consumer perceptions has found that most Albertans consider livestock production to be part of the provincial culture, but few know much about what happens on the farm.

“They are fundamentally ignorant about farming practices and what goes into what they are eating,” said Nick Black of the market research firm Intensions Consulting.

“They don’t necessarily want to know a ton of information. They are quite happy to live in that ignorance until something bad comes up and challenges their thinking and they suddenly have to respond.”

The survey, which was commissioned by Alberta Farm Animal Care, asked more than 750 people about their knowledge of farm practices and how it might affect their eating habits.

Many said they believed Alberta had higher standards than anywhere else.

“This is one of the biggest strengths you have as an industry, just general perceptions that in Alberta, things are done better than the rest of Canada and particularly the United States,” Black told AFAC’s annual meeting in Calgary.

Many said they would pay more for Alberta products because they perceived food grown in the province was better and raised to a higher standard.

The study found different kinds of consumers, ranging from those who

whole heartedly eat lots of meat, poultry and dairy products without too much concern about animal welfare to those who eat little of these products for a variety of reasons, including concerns over how the animals were raised.

This is one of the biggest strengths you have as an industry, just general perceptions that in Alberta, things are done better than the rest of Canada and particularly the United States.

NICK BLACK INTENSIONS CONSULTING

This group makes up three percent of the population and tends to be 15 to 29 years old. However, they are a vocal minority who can influence policy makers and the public.

Most of those surveyed said they had seen or heard stories about farm animal abuse, and many said they would not want to buy protein products if they knew livestock was mistreated.

More women than men were concerned about chickens, pigs and dairy cattle raised in confinement.

The term “super farms” emerged in the survey, which refers to large corporate industrial farms. Most people did not know if these farms exist in Alberta, but they felt they should be monitored for their effect on the

environment, animal welfare and human health.

“There is a concern inside consumers’ minds around what these large industrial farms mean for them and the impacts on their health. This is an issue that is emerging here,” Black said.

Women were more likely to believe that these operations exist and are not good. Hormones and antibiotic use also concerned about half the women polled.

Most respondents believed sick animals should be treated with medicine, but 38 percent said the use of antibiotics and growth hormones are harmful to human health. About a third said they would not consume meats, milk or eggs containing these products.

When asked who they trust for reliable information, 64 percent said veterinary associations followed by the SPCA. Only 30 percent rely on the government or industry organizations for good information.

However, nearly half said they do not trust advocacy groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Eighty percent relied on the internet for obtaining information about farming, 51 percent went to newspapers, 37 percent used television and a small percentage used social media such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

PROCESSING THE PRICE

Oat options for man and beast COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

I

f there’s one thing we have plenty of as consumers, it’s options.

Walk down the aisle of any supermarket and you’ll find multiple brands of every seemingly similar item from bottled water to laundry soap.

I figured this was just a human extravagance until I started looking for feed for a colt we raised last year.

There are lots of big animals on the ranch — mostly cattle but also some horses — and they all get the same two basic food groups: grass in the summer, hay in the winter, as well as some minerals and maybe some protein to round things out when they need it.

Colts are kind of like the baby of the family, though, and they get a little spoiled. So I went to a bigger farm and feed store to see what they had that I could give the colt when I tied him in his stall.

It was about like a grocery store for choices. There were several aisles full

of sack feed for old horses, young horses, in between horses, horses that are too fat, horses that are too skinny, you name it. Befuddled by all the choices, I just asked for the most basic sweet feed they had and some oats.

I hate to admit to ever buying oats in a bag, but I did. They got $12 or $14 from me, I think, for 50 pounds of oats in a nice, tidy sack.

Knowing that the price of oats had to be somewhere around $2.50 for a 32 lb. bushel, I quickly figured I was getting about $3.91 worth of oats and the nicely stitched bag made up the other $10.

However, I knew my wife would rather I throw a sack of oats in the back of her car than auger in a bushel and a half of oats and dust, so I swallowed my pride and bought the bag.

I’m kind of an oats guy, too, so I’ve been examining my morning oatmeal choices. I’ve always eaten the regular kind that comes in the big round box with the picture of the friendly fella in the black hat.

As I age, though, I’m starting to expand my food horizons. So I splurged and got me some of the fancy steel cut oats I saw on the shelf.

They cost quite a bit more, but I liked them.

Had a little more crunch to them, making my breakfast sounds similar to the sounds of that colt as he munched his breakfast in the barn.

I think the human food companies have figured out the key to profit. The steel cut oats take less processing and they charge more for it. Lower costs, higher prices. Amazing.

It reminded me of a tour I had at a flour mill once. I was visiting with the manager about the white whole wheat flour they were making so parents could trick their kids into eating whole wheat bread because it was still white. He was telling me how it was easier to mill because they didn’t have to separate the endosperm from the bran and the germ of the wheat berry.

“Hmm, less processing and higher price,” I said with a smile.

He just grinned back at me.

So to offset the higher costs of my less processed morning oatmeal, I’m switching the colt to lower cost, less processed oats. I pulled onto the elevator scale and held up a big seed tote in the back of my pickup.

The elevator man expertly shot in 21 bu. of oats from above my head without getting a single oat down the back of my shirt.

I think I saved enough on my horse oats to buy some fresh berries and nuts for my morning oats. I’d feel guilty, but the colt hasn’t complained a bit.

Western College of Veterinary Medicine 50 Years of WCVM | 1965-2015 Celebrating 50 years of veterinary education, research and clinical expertise at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM).

Students trim a cow’s hoofs in the WCVM’s large animal clinic.

When members of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s Class of 2015 receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degrees this spring, they’ll join a group of nearly 3,000 people who have completed the college’s challenging veterinary program.

The origins of the college’s DVM program stem back to WCVM’s founding dean, Dr. D.L.T. (Larry) Smith, who believed in giving veterinary students the basic principles and allowing them time to think. A gifted teacher, Smith followed the Greek historian Plutarch’s philosophy, “… that a student’s mind should be regarded as a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled.”

Guided by Smith’s values, a curriculum committee set out in 1964 to devise a veterinary degree program that met the American Veterinary Medical Association’s accreditation requirements and the needs of western Canadians.

After months of discussion, the committee gave key recommendations to the University of Saskatchewan Council in 1965. First, students had to complete at least two years of pre-veterinary medicine courses in university before applying to the WCVM. Second, successful applicants would take four years of professional education at the college.

The committee also outlined the DVM program: 128 weeks of school with 30 hours of lectures and labs per week. It included anatomy and biochemistry as well as the “-ologies” — microbiology, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, bacteriology, immunology, virology and parasitology. In their final two years, students studied surgery, medicine, nutrition, radiology, animal husbandry and production, obstetrics and reproduction.

Other than some tweaks and additions, the curriculum remained the same until 2007 when the WCVM moved to a “core-elective” model. Students now take the same core courses in their first two and a half years, but in their third year, they gain more in-depth information in particular interests through elective courses. During their final year, students complete two- or four-week practical rotations and externships in various disciplines and interest areas.

While the college’s curriculum has undergone revisions to meet today’s demands, one thing remains the same: WCVM continues to produce top graduates who are equipped with a comprehensive, broad-based veterinary education.

FARM INPUT SUPPLIERS

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

One of the world’s largest pulse processing firms is making its first foray into sourcing Canadian cereal crops.

AGT Food and Ingredients has agreed to buy West Central Road & Rail for $22 million.

The deal gives AGT five Saskatchewan producer car-loading facilities in Easton, Laporte, Lucky Lake, Beechy and Dinsmore.

Each facility has 3,000 tonnes of bin storage, which is enough to load 30 rail cars. The facilities have an inbound receiving and outbound shipping capacity of 540 tonnes per hour, which means those 30 cars can be loaded in less than eight hours.

The loading sites are highly segregated with 16, 100-tonne bins and seven, 200-tonne bins.

The five facilities combined ship 300,000 tonnes of durum, wheat, canola, pulses and flax a year.

Durum accounts for 75 percent of the sales program, which is why WCRR was so appealing to AGT. President Murad Al-Katib said the grain sourced from the five producer car loading sites will initially be destined for export, with much of it heading to AGT’s lentil processing and pasta plants in Turkey.

“This durum wheat from Eston and from Kyle and from Beechy and from Lucky Lake is going to end up in packages and it’s going to go to 91 countries around the world,” he said.

However, the long-term objective is to build a pasta plant in Saskatchewan and feed it with the durum sourced at the producer car sites.

“We’re an origin processor,” said Al-Katib.

“Part of my original vision 13 years ago was (to build) value-added facilities in pulses and durum.”

AGT announced in October 2011 it would spend up to $50 million building a durum mill and pasta plant in Regina. Seven months later it postponed the project because of disappointing earnings.

Al-Katib said the project is still in play now that the company has access to some of the world’s best quality durum.

“Our ultimate plan is to do valueadded processing of durum in Saskatchewan,” he said.

That will not take place this year because the company is focused on expanding its pulse ingredients business in Minot, North Dakota. However, something could happen in 2016-18, said Al-Katib.

He believes Canada’s recently signed free trade agreement with the European Union will create a significant tariff-free market for Saskatchewan pasta.

WCRR president Rob Lobdell said the company wasn’t actively seeking a buyer, but there is plenty of interest for grain industry assets under the open market for wheat and barley.

“There was certainly multiple suitors. That’s about as much as I can say,” he said.

Proceeds from the purchase will be distributed to the company’s 1,900 shareholders, who are primarily farmers. The list also includes local businesses, villages, towns and rural municipalities.

It is estimated that shareholders will receive $310 to $340 per share.

AGT BUYS WEST CENTRAL ROAD & RAIL FOR

$22 million There are 1,896 class A voting shares and 53,000 class C non-voting shares.

Most of those shares were purchased for $100 with the exception of the Dinsmore offering, which were bought for $120 a share. “ The shareholders should be extremely happy with how this shook out,” said Lobdell.

WCRR was formed in 1998 by a group of farmers worried about the extensive rail and grain elevator consolidation taking place.

Farmers were miffed that grain from some of Saskatchewan’s most fertile land was having to be hauled hundreds of kilometres to inland terminals located on railway main lines.

So the group built its first producer car location in 2001 and created a successful business moving grain as an agent of the Canadian Wheat Board.

Everything changed when the board lost its monopoly over wheat and barley exports in 2012. WCRR had to add a marketing component to the business and go head-to-head against the major companies in the industry.

“While we have done well at it long term, it could prove to be an increasing challenge when you look at the size and scope of ourselves relative to some of the other players,” said Lobdell.

It was one of the main reasons behind the decision to sell the business to AGT, which he figures is an ideal partner for the shareholders and affected communities.

“For starters, they’re a Saskatchewan based company. They have a track record of success and they’re really into the value-added part of the business,” he said.

AG T i s k e e p i n g t h e f i r m’s 1 5 employees and intends to continue using the loading sites to provide area farmers with local marketing and delivery options.

Lobdell said the assets are well suited to AGT’s business because they allow for a high degree of segregation for a firm that does a lot of niche marketing.

Al-Katib said AGT’s processing plants around the world are using more grain than the company has at its disposal, so this was a way to secure more supply.

WCRR’s loading sites are serviced

by Big Sky Rail, which will shuttle rail cars back and forth to Saskatoon, where they can connect to Canadian National Railway’s main line.

“This is bulk handling for our supply chain. That’s what this is,” said Al-Katib.

“This is a little bit different than just being a grain handler. This is going to go into our system.”

T h e a g re e m e n t re q u i re s t h e approval of 66 percent of WCRR voting shares at a meeting scheduled for the end of May. “I would assume that it would have great appeal and should pass with relative ease,” said Lobdell. sean.pratt@producer.com

Syngenta sales dip ZURICH (Reuters) — Swiss firm Syngenta, the world’s largest maker of crop chemicals, saw first quarter sales fall more than expected, hit by low commodity prices, the strong U.S. dollar and a prolonged winter in the United States.

Weaker crop prices have farmers spending less, putting firms such as Syngenta under pressure.

The shift in the U.S. to soybeans from corn is also an issue because soybeans require fewer inputs.

Syngenta reported sales of US$4 billion for the first three months of the year, down 14 percent from last year and below the average forecast of $4.3 billion in a Reuters poll.

Bartered goods can spark a capital gain if valuable property is exchanged for goods or services

Railway company to spend money on lines in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan to cope with an increase in freight volumes

within a registered barter exchange network, then the tax must be applied to the value of the service supplied, such as legal fees, but not to the barter units used to pay for the transaction.

If registrants exchange similar types of property, such as farm property, and use it as inventory for commercial activities, then the value in each case is considered to be nil, and GST/HST is not applied.

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian National Railway plans to spend $500 million over several years improving track on its western Canadian feeder rail lines.

The money will be spent on lines in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan that handle rising volumes of industrial products, natural resources and energy-related commodities.

About $100 million will be allocated this year for work on northern Alberta branch lines, investing

in infrastructure upgrades and safety improvements, including heavier rail, crushed rock ballast and new ties. The work will ensure that the network can efficiently accommodate future freight volume growth in the Peace River region, the company said in a news release.

A recent Reuters analysis found that trains CN operated in Canada derailed along main lines 57 times in 2014, up 73 percent from 33 in 2013 and well above a 2009-13 average of 39 accidents per year.

CN freight volumes in Western Canada have increased by more than 50 percent in the past five years.

The company spent $100 million in 2013 to increase capacity on its main line between Edmonton and Winnipeg and the secondary Prairie North Line, which runs north of the main line.

CN said in its fourth quarter 2014 report that it plans to increase its capital spending this year by $300 million for a total investment of $2.6 billion across its North American network.

artering is alive and well on the farm and in business everywhere.

It also continues to have the attention of the Canada Revenue Agency, which maintains the practice is covered by the rules and regulations of the Income Tax Act. Trading by exchanging one commodity for another may not involve the exchange of money, but it is taken for granted that each of those involved in the transaction believes the value of whatever is received is equal to the value of whatever is given.

Bartering can be as simple as a private exchange of goods and services between two people or as sophisticated as computer-controlled franchised, member-only barter clubs using credit units with an implied monetary unit value as currency.

Friends or neighbours exchanging services to occasionally help each other out receive a free pass on this one as long as it isn’t a frequent habit.

Digital currency is one of the newest developments in this area with Bitcoins one of the most prominent examples.

They can be bought or sold in return for traditional currency, transferred from one person to another and traded anonymously. They are not controlled by central banks or regulated by any country.

However, when moviegoers pay for their seats with Bitcoins, the value of those seats are considered taxable income for the theatre.

In general, the CRA says that when a taxpayer barters goods or services for other goods or services, then the value of those goods or services must be brought into the taxpayer’s income if they are business related.

The agency’s example cites a grocer providing groceries to someone in exchange for something else. The value of the groceries is treated as income to the grocer.

It calculates their value based on the price of the goods or services that the taxpayer would have normally received if they had been sold to a stranger.

If the goods and services that are given up cannot readily be valued but the goods or property that are received can be, then the price of the latter will be used to establish the price of the transaction.

Bartered goods might also result in a capital gain if property such as land, vehicles or a valuable painting is bartered for goods or services.

GST/HST must also be applied to barter transactions in the same way that it is on the supply of any taxable goods and services.
