Oh, Deere News of a new patent application raises questions about ownership

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Most farmers probably think the question of whether they own their tractor or not is a fairly straightforward one.

But technology agreements are casting doubt on machinery ownership following a recent story in a popular technical magazine.

On April 21, WIRED magazine published a column by Kyle Wiens with the headline “We can’t let John Deere destroy the very idea of ownership.”

In it, Wiens, a self-proclaimed digital do-it-yourself tinkerer and service manual expert, said that John Deere — the world’s largest agricultural machinery maker — told the U.S. Copyright Office that farmers don’t own their tractors. Because computer code snakes through the DNA of modern tractors, farmers receive “an implied license for the life of the vehicle to operate the vehicle.

“It’s John Deere’s tractor, folks.

You’re just driving it,” the column stated.

Researchers at the Canadian Light Source think they have an answer for why some wheat varieties are resistant to fusarium head blight.

The scientists used the synchrotron to examine the structure of the heads of both susceptible and resistant lines of wheat.

“When we did the x-ray analysis of the internal structures we saw striking differences in the junctions where people think the fungus is spread,” said Chithra Karunakaran, manager for the environmental and earth sciences department at the Canadian Light Source.

That junction is where the floret is attached to the main spike of the wheat head.

“We found out there are some structural differences that may play a role against the spread of the fungus in the resistant plant,” she said.

“Some cell walls may be stronger and they have more lignification that may be resistant to the penetration of these fungal micro-organisms.”

The research is expected to help breeders search for the gene responsible for creating thicker cell walls in that area of the plant.

“Talking to people with a plant science background, this is very significant,” said Karunakaran.

SHUT ’ER DOWN

Shelterbelt centre sits in limbo

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The federal government doesn’t intend to lease out the former shelterbelt centre at Indian Head, Sask., this growing season.

Agriculture Canada says it’s still in negotiation with Carry The Kettle Nakota Nation, which has expressed interest in buying the property. The First Nation did not respond to a request for an interview.

“At this time, AAFC is not entertaining an interim lease for the facility,” said a department spokesperson by email last week. “Should this change, a formal request for proposal process will be used to identify a suitable tenant.”

Last year, Weyburn-based HELP International had a contract to manage the centre and distribute trees.

However, that arrangement was fraught with problems.

HELP said the agriculture department didn’t leave equipment needed to maintain the site and only a few varieties of seedlings were available.

Locals complained about weeds and a general lack of maintenance.

The fate of the centre has been in limbo since the government announced in 2012 it would shut it down

by Dec. 31, 2013.

The centre opened in 1901 and supplied more than 600 million free trees across the west to farms and rural residences before it closed.

The agroforestry research staff based at the site are moving a couple of kilometres away to the Indian Head Research Farm.

Lorne Scott, reeve of the rural municipality of Indian Head, said he can’t believe any government would just walk away from the centre.

“It’s really a crime,” he said last week. “It’s just a real mess and a real tragedy that a government of any stripe would walk away from a public asset and just let it go to wrack and ruin.”

He said it appears no one will maintain the 640-acre site.

Scott said there could still be several million seedlings in the ground and will soon be too large to transplant.

However, they are mostly surrounded by weeds more than a metre tall.

If a buyer chooses to keep the site as a tree nursery, there will be lots of work needed clean it up, he said.

Scott is part of a local group that was looking at options for the site.

Under federal treasury board policy, property that is to be sold must first be offered to other departments and Crown corporations, then First Nations, then, in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, made available under Treaty Land Entitlement and finally to municipal and provincial authorities. If it hasn’t been sold by then, it goes on the open market.

Scott said the October federal election might lead to some change and a way to salvage the centre.

“It just makes you sick when you drive by there. It used to be such a well-kept facility and at this time of the year there used to be hundreds of people coming.” karen.briere@producer.com

LANTIC SUGAR

Beet crop in doubt over contract Alberta sugar beet growers, Lantic Sugar disagree on pricing system

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta sugar beet growers met May 4 to discuss whether to accept a contract offer from their processor or forgo planting a crop this year upon threat of plant closure.

Results of their discussions were not available at press time.

Lantic Sugar, operator of the only beet sugar refining plant in Canada, threatened to close the Taber-based facility unless growers accepted a final contract offer, according to Alberta Sugar Beet Growers executive director Gerald Third.

The previous three-year contract expired at the end of 2014 and Lantic had reportedly offered a one-year deal for 2016.

“Things have spiraled out of control,” said Third on May 3.

Contract talks between growers and Lantic broke off May 1 when the ASBG rejected Lantic’s latest offer.

Third said the company then began contacting growers directly, urging them to force a vote. However, there is no mechanism in the ASBG regulations for that to occur.

Manon Lacroix, vice-president of finance for Lantic, said May 4 that the company continued to negotiate with the ASBG. She said she could not comment on whether the company is also contacting individual growers.

“We’re still hopeful to reach an agreement with them,” said Lacroix about the ASBG. She declined to provide details of the offer.

Without a 2015 beet crop, she said

Producers oppose Lantic Sugar’s proposal to pay by extracted sugar from beets rather than extractable sugar. | FILE PHOTO the Taber factory would process the remaining thick juice in inventory.

After that, there would be no reason to continue operating the plant.

“After that we would supply our customers through our two cane refineries. We have one in Montreal and one in Vancouver.”

Third said growers were still pondering their options as of 5 p.m.

May 4.

“We are all trying to figure out a way to force a sugar beet deal to avoid closure of this plant,” he said.

Payment for sugar is a key issue in the dispute. Third said Lantic wants to pay based on “extracted” sugar from beets, rather than “extractable” sugar. That means the company would pay growers based on what it processed from harvested beets,

rather than on the crop’s complete sugar content.

“Growers want to be paid for the sugar they deliver,” said Third.

Last year, southern Alberta growers planted 22,000 acres of beets with near record sugar content due to good growing conditions.

All sugar beets are contracted through Lantic, as operator of the only processing plant in Canada for domestically produced sugar.

Ordinarily, most sugar beets would already be planted by now, but without a contract no seeding has taken place.

Sugar beets have been grown in southern Alberta since the 1930s and the Taber sugar factory has been operating since 1950.

Generally known as the Rogers

sugar plant, it has been owned by Lantic Inc. since Rogers and Lantic merged in 2008.

It has 100 to 120 permanent employees and hires additional staff for seasonal work during beet harvest and processing every fall and winter.

Alberta Sugar Beet Growers is one of seven agricultural marketing boards overseen by the Alberta Agricultural Products Marketing Council.

Third said the council has been contacted regarding the negotiations but there is a question about the extent of its involvement given the provincial election now under way.

He also said Lantic had hired a negotiator to help obtain a deal, a person with long-term ties to the Alberta government.

Given the May 5 Alberta election, any threat of closure of the sugar factory, which is one of Taber’s largest employers, could have been damaging to the Progressive Conservative campaign.

Lacroix said only that Lantic was negotiating with the ASBG and did not confirm or deny that a negotiator was at work.

At the ASBG’s 90th annual meeting in February, president Rob Boras said in his report that growers had returns of more than $50 per tonne in each of the last three contract years.

However, his report and various others presented at the meeting noted dissatisfaction with current contract terms with Lantic.

FUSARIUM INCIDENCE IN 2014 Fusarium infection is on the rise in Western Canada due in large part to wet weather conditions. For instance, 83 percent of the 260 samples submitted in crop district six in central Saskatchewan had some level of infection, which is by far the highest incidence of infection for that area of the province.

TINY SPACES, BIG CLUES FUSARIUM FACTS

The fusarium situation last year was particularly bad in Saskatchewan for red spring and in Manitoba it was more the winter wheat that was hit badly.

TOM GRAEFENHAN CANADIAN GRAIN COMMISSION

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Ron DePauw, science adviser to SeCan and retired Agriculture Canada wheat breeder, said the research paints a picture of one possible form of fusarium resistance.

“But you can’t see what genes are needed to combat the pathogen,” he said. “It doesn’t tell you whether you need one gene, two genes or 10 genes.”

DePauw noted that just because one plant seems to have a structural difference that appears to provide some resistance to the devastating fungus doesn’t mean it is a panacea.

It may only offer partial resistance to the disease.

“That is a single example of resistance. Are there other ways? Are there other mechanisms? Are there other ways to stop the pathogen?” he said.

“It is part of the puzzle.”

The spread and severity of fusarium infection has been on the rise over the past few years, said Tom Graefenhan, research scientist with the Canadian Grain Commission.

“It’s definitely more prevalent than five or 10 years ago,” he said.

The recent wet weather has helped foster the disease.

“The fusarium situation last year was particularly bad in Saskatchewan for red spring and in Manitoba it was more the winter wheat that was hit badly,” said Graefenhan.

In crop district six in central Saskatchewan 83 percent of the 260 red spring wheat samples submitted to the commission’s harvest sample program had some level of fusarium damage, with an average of 1.9 percent damage.

“It is the worst we have seen for central Saskatchewan by far,” said Graefenhan.

• Fusarium head blight (FHB), also known as scab or tombstone, is a fungal disease of wheat, barley, oats and corn.

Fusarium graminearum is the most common strain of fusarium responsible for causing FHB. • Fusarium reduces plant yield and grade and may contaminate the grain with fungal toxins (mycotoxins). Humid conditions during flowering and early stages of kernel development increase the risk of FHB. • FHB is recognized in the field by the premature bleaching of infected spikelets and the production of orange, spore-bearing structures called sporodochia at the base of the glumes.

During wet weather, there may be whitish, occasionally pinkish, fluffy fungal growth on infected heads in the field.

• Diseased spikelets can contain visibly affected kernels.

The grading term given to visibly affected wheat seeds is fusarium damaged kernels (FDK), whereas in barley, it is called fusarium mould.

• FDK in wheat are shrunken and typically chalky white, while fusarium mould on barley is an orange or black encrustation of the seed surface. Much of the severely infected wheat is poorly filled and may be blown out the back of the combine due to its low kernel weight.

Grain infected after the flowering stage may be heavy enough to be harvested along with healthy grain, although most FDK will result from infections that occur during flowering.

• The fungus may eventually kill the developing seed at about the soft dough stage.

Symptoms of fusarium mould in barley or oats are usually sparse, making it difficult to tell if grain has been infected.

• Wheat and barley infected by FHB may contain mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin.

Although DON is one of the least toxic mycotoxins to animals, it may result in reduced feed consumption or feed refusal.

Software is key to all new farm machinery. It makes the machines more efficient and capable. For most equipment it’s also a black box that manufacturers refuse to open for farmers. Young farmer Dawson Mast of Morgantown, Pennsylvania, accepts the role technology plays in the latest machinery, operating a Deere machine engineering simulator during the Commodity Classic event in Phoenix, Ariz., earlier this spring.

DEERE RESPONDS TO OWNERSHIP FEARS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE (The 24-page Deere submission can be accessed through the WIRED internet link at the end of this story.)

John Deere communications manager Barry Nelson says he’s been receiving a lot of questions since the WIRED article went online and he offered this rebuttal: “We want to make it clear. Yes, you buy a tractor from John Deere — you own that tractor.”

Nelson maintains a corporation must be allowed to protect its intellectual property or there will be no incentive to invest in better software.

“That engine software has been programmed for emission standards, overall performance, fuel economy and safety,” says Nelson.

“If the DMC (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is modified to allow people to legally hack into an engine control system and make changes, then a manufacturer cannot stand behind any aspect of the performance of that engine.”

Numerous manufacturers have made similar submissions to the U.S. Copyright Office.

The submissions are part of an ongoing process to fine tune the DMC Act, the 1998 law governing the line between software and hardware.

Some parties proposed an amendment to the DMC to soften restrictions.

Consumer groups and people like Wiens would like to ultimately see the regulations abolished.

The corporate world is lobbying to keep or strengthen the copyrights.

The Copyright Office is expected to decide in July which electronic copyright sections, if any, will change.

Most electronic equipment that contains software, from televisions and coffee makers to passenger jets, carry a copyright on the software.

Tinkering with the internal software often leads to a voided warranty.

Keystone Agricultural Producers president Dan Mazier says he under-

stands why farm equipment manufacturers are protective of their software, but he does not support the copyright laws if that protective action comes at the expense of producers.

He wonders what happens to farmers who want to work on their own equipment.

Some producers say the cost of service and distance to dealers are serious considerations As well, a lot of farmers want the independence they get when working on their own machines.

“My concern is what happens if you mix brands and they don’t want to talk to each other. That’s why you need that modification ability,” says Mazier.

“There are times when you need to adapt software to what you already have on your farm, for instance when you have an older piece of equipment. It makes things difficult when they have copyright locked down on everything, even older machines. They have to get paid. I get that. But in perpetuity?”

Farmers have the need, the skills and the desire to get into software programs that control the function of their implements, according to independent ag engineer Paul Sheets. Sheets had a large mixed farm in South Dakota, followed by 10 years in the equipment industry, before joining Carbon River Engineering in Wichita Kansas.

“As a producer, I’m very much against manufacturers trying to stop machine owners from working on their own equipment. Farmer independence is very important,” says Sheets.

“If I own a piece of equipment, I want to work on it myself because I know how I have my things set up and adjusted. I want to be able to do that. I don’t want to use the manufacturer’s setup or adjustments.

“I have the computer knowledge and capability to fix or modify this equipment on my own. Provided you can get the right scanner, you should be able to plug into the diag-

nostic port and figure out what’s wrong and if you have the capability to fix it. And, if I get stuck, I have three kids who are computer savvy, so they can help me.”

Will their JD dealer provide the necessary information so a farmer can work on the digital technology inside their tractor?

“No. Not if it involves computer software,” Nelson says.

“But for the majority of repairs, just like in the past, you still can do all the routine maintenance and even some major things in basic machine repair found in the operator’s manual.

“We have some new tools that make it faster/quicker for a dealer to diagnose an issue using remote sensing. The service department can get right into that machine, even if they’re miles away. We call it remote display access.”

The issue of software copyright ownership may seem somewhat philosophical, especially at seeding time, but it leads to the financial question of who pays to maintain and repair that software this season and 10 or 15 years from now.

If a corporation has legal ownership of the software, should it assume the responsibility for the software maintenance and repair plus any liabilities arising from problems with that software?

“We have a warranty that covers our equipment,” says Nelson. “If there’s any issue with the technology, the customer is covered.”

TRADE AGREEMENT

TPP the end of supply management?

Trade experts expect Canada will face pressure to get rid of supply management under terms of the Trans-Pacific Partnership

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The supply management debate is reaching a tipping point as TransPacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations heat up, says a policy analyst.

Protection of Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg sectors is under increased scrutiny as the centrepiece of the TPP deal nears completion, said Brian Crowley, managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Australia, New Zealand and the United States want to see an end to supply management. They’re three of the 12 countries attempting to negotiate an Asia-Pacific trade pact that includes Canada.

Canada has negotiated 12 free trade agreements with 43 countries since 1989 without sacrificing supply management, but this time is different, said Crowley.

Many of the previous agreements were bilateral pacts, which gave Canada considerable negotiating clout. If it wasn’t satisfied with an aspect of the deal, it could refuse to sign the agreement and it would die on the table.

With the TPP, there are 12 countries at the table, so any country that draws a line in the sand, could be at risk of being excluded.

TPP discussions have been ongoing since 2005, but there are signs that momentum is building.

“The central relationship in the TPP is really between the United States and Japan. Everybody else is along for the ride,” said Crowley.

“The Japanese and the Americans are signaling that they’re pretty close to a deal.”

Crowley expects there will be substantial pressure on Canada to get rid of supply management if it wants to be part of the trade pact.

“I’m not saying that supply management is dead or anything like that.

All I’m saying is that Canada’s negotiating power is weak and the stakes are very high,” he said.

“Canada is very anxious not to be left out of this agreement and this is a price that a lot of people at the table are going to be asking Canada to pay.”

Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz recently told the House of Commons agriculture committee that his

Sorry New Zealand. Who are you? What clout do you have?

You’ve got four million people 14,000 kilometres away from anybody that produces anything.

MIKE DUNGATE CHICKEN FARMERS OF CANADA

Chicken continues to grow in popularity in Canada, and chicken producers don’t want to see the supply management sector sacrificed for a cattle industry that may not take advantage of the expanded market access. FOR THE CATTLE INDUSTRY’S VIEW, SEE PAGE 15. | FILE PHOTO government wants to keep supply management “as workable as we absolutely can.”

“I can tell you this government is unequivocal in our support for supply management,” he said.

Ritz said all political parties recognize the value that supply management brings to Canadian agriculture.

“We as a government take that very seriously in the negotiations,” he said.

Mike Dungate, executive director of

Chicken Farmers of Canada, said there is no doubt that supply management is under the gun.

“When we joined (TPP) in 2012, the U.S. said you have to agree up front to get rid of supply management or we won’t let you in,” he said.

Canada held its ground and pointed out nobody else was paying a price to be in the negotiations.

The U.S. is once again applying pressure on Canadian negotiators as it tries to convince Congress to give it

Trade Promotion Authority, which gives U.S. negotiators the ability to make a deal that Congress can approve or reject but can’t amend.

“I have no doubt the U.S. will come back at the end of the day and say you’ve got to open up your market on dairy and poultry for us to conclude this deal,” said Dungate.

Meanwhile, New Zealand is conducting a media blitz designed to put pressure on Canada’s supply managed sector.

“Sorry New Zealand. Who are you?

What clout do you have? You’ve got four million people 14,000 kilometres away from anybody that produces anything,” said Dungate.

Crowley said if Canada is left out of the TPP the impact on the livestock sector will dwarf the impact of U.S. country-of-origin labelling laws. “(TPP) is absolutely vital to Canada’s interest and we simply cannot allow supply management to stop it,” he said.

Dungate said chicken is the No. 1 meat in Canada and it continues to grow while the cattle sector is shrinking. He doesn’t want to see the supply management sector sacrificed for a cattle industry that may not take advantage of the expanded market access.

“What I would absolutely detest is if we got traded off for nothing,” he said.

There has traditionally been little political will to end supply management because Canada’s 18,000 supply managed farms have plenty of political clout.

“They are fairly highly concentrated and they’re in a lot of swing constituencies,” said Crowley.

However, their political influence is waning as the number of supply managed farms continues to shrink.

“We’re going to reach a tipping point. The question is, is TPP going to be that tipping point at which we finally say, ‘look, we just can’t afford this anymore,’ ” he said.

Crowley said this is the worst time to be having this debate because Canada is heading into a fall election and no political party is about to take on supply management at that time. sean.pratt@producer.com FOR MORE ON THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP, SEE PAGE 15.

TRADE AGREEMENT

Why Canada is stalling: trade deal jeopardizes not only supply management, but votes Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations a seething nest of trade complications especially when it comes to agricultural policy

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — American politicians and trade officials are tired of waiting for Canada to begin negotiating on their demand to weaken supply management.

But granting president Barack Obama Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) could get something on the table, many acknowledge.

“Quite frankly, we’re not going to get Canadians to the table unless we have TPA,” said House of Representatives agriculture committee chair

Michael Conaway, who supports legislation to provide TPA to Obama.

“If I’m in their shoes, I’m not going to make a deal that’s going to be negotiated with 535 ‘experts’ once the deal’s agreed to by the USTR (United States Trade Representative.)” The number of elected people in the U.S. Congress totals 535.

The American demand for Canadian concessions on supply management comes as part of the Trans Pacific Partnership trade talks. The U.S. wants Canada to open Canadian markets to dairy, poultry and eggs in order for the U.S. to withdraw its

complaints about Canada’s market access status. The administration has not said whether supply management is a deal-breaker.

The USTR laid out the U.S. position months ago, but Canada has not formally responded with a counter proposal. Republicans say they aren’t surprised by that because without TPA, any deal negotiated by the USTR would go to Congress for clause-by-clause approval. That’s not something most foreign governments are willing to accept, they say.

Democrats don’t disagree, but some leading agriculture committee mem-

bers like Minnesota’s Collin Peterson are leery of voting for TPA without seeing what Canada will offer.

Peterson said he understands the Canadian position is complicated, with the Conservative government facing an election and supply management being a politically touchy subject.

“I think the Canadian government will (lose the election) if they negotiate a deal on supply management, on dairy and poultry,” said Peterson.

He fears that any offer made before an election would not weaken supply management enough to mollify American concerns since the gov-

ernment would not likely offer a bold proposal.

The TPP negotiations contain a seething nest of trade complications, with agriculture providing some of the most writhing concerns.

Japan’s restrictions on rice imports upset the U.S. industry as do other restrictions, tariffs and non-tariff barriers.

How highly Canadian supply management ranks on the list of U.S. concerns is hard to assess.

“It’s part of it,” said Conaway. ed.white@producer.com

GRAIN EXPORTS

Find efficiency with new export focus: analyst

The federal government is busy negotiating trade agreements that will boost sales of Canadian grains and oilseeds, but it has no plan for how it will get those products to customers, says an industry analyst.

Exporters are already having difficulty getting product to market at current levels of demand, said Marlene Boersch, managing partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture.

She said the federal government appears to have no export policy other than signing trade agreements.

“We have absolutely no agenda as to how we are going to accommodate that (new demand) internally in terms of infrastructure,” said Boersch.

GRAIN EXPORTS

Canadian wheat carryout might grow Poor rail performance and currency issues could result in missed export target

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain analysts are beginning to think Canada will export a lot less wheat than Agriculture Canada is forecasting and that means higher carryout and lower prices.

Marlene Boersch, managing partner in Mercantile Consulting Venture, has been tracking the Canadian Grain Commission’s export numbers and they’re not on pace to meet Agriculture Canada’s forecast for 18 million tonnes of non-durum wheat exports.

“We’re not anywhere near that at the moment,” she said.

“Unless we improve rail performance, it seems to me that the carryout is going to be higher.”

The CGC weekly export figures don’t capture all movement, but they account for most and are much more up to date than Statistics Canada’s

monthly figures for February.

The CG C figures show wheat exports to date are ahead of last year’s pace at the same point, but, like last year, a huge end of the year push will be needed to hit the Agriculture Canada export forecast.

Canada has been exporting wheat at a pace of 313,000 tonnes per week through Week 38 of the 2014-15 campaign. To meet Agriculture Canada’s target would require the pace to increase to 436,000 tonnes per week for the remaining 14 weeks of the marketing season.

Boersch expects that won’t happen.

“It’s very negative for growers, because you’re entering the year again with a higher carryout than we should have,” she said.

Neil Townsend, director of CWB Market Research, agrees. He has reduced his wheat export number to 17.2 million tonnes and increased carryout to 6.4 million tonnes, which

is 1.2 million tonnes higher than Agriculture Canada’s carryout number.

“I don’t think it’s a good situation,” he said.

Canadian wheat is having trouble competing in markets outside of southeast Asia. Townsend said currency devaluation is making wheat from places like Europe, South America and the Black Sea region extremely price competitive.

“Europe is really sending out a lot of wheat,” he said.

He doesn’t see the competition subsiding any time soon. Europe has another massive crop on the way and Russian farmers will be in a hurry to get their product to market right off the combine for fear that an export tax that is expected to be removed fairly soon will be reapplied.

That will make for stiff competition in key markets like the Middle East.

Boersch thinks Canada already car-

ries forward too much grain. Farmers produced 24 million tonnes of wheat and Agriculture Canada expects 5.2 million tonnes of carryout, which is likely far too low of an estimate. That carryout works out to 22 percent of production.

By contrast, the European Union produced 156 million tonnes last year and is expected to carry 15 million tonnes, or 9.6 percent of production, despite importing an additional six million tonnes.

“What makes us think it’s actually good to carry year-in, year-out five million tonnes of wheat. Shouldn’t we be selling it?” said Boersch.

“We have conditioned ourselves to be content with fairly big numbers.”

And it’s not just wheat. Carryout of all grains and oilseeds is expected to be 11 million tonnes in 2014-15.

“I find that horrendous. Why do we think that’s good?” said Boersch. sean.pratt@producer.com

WHEAT ENDING STOCKS Slower than expected exports could cause this year’s wheat ending stocks to be larger than expected. Canada traditionally carries over a larger percentage of its wheat supply than many of its competitors.

Non-durum ending stocks (million tonnes): 2010 5.049 2011 5.794 2012 4.446 2013 3.900 2014 8.020 2015* 5.200 2015** 6.400 * Agriculture Canada forecast ** CWB forecast Sources: Statistics Canada, Agriculture Canada, CWB | WP GRAPHIC

Ocean vessels again backed up at Pacific port A backlog of ships waiting for deliveries in Vancouver will have the grain sector on the hook for demurrage penalties

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE “Do we actually have an agricultural policy other than Growing Forward, which is a little bit of money here and there and everywhere?”

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said the government has a plan in place.

“Our government’s long-term vision for exports includes delivering marketing freedom, opening new markets through free trade agreements, modernizing the (Canadian) Grain Commission and variety registration, adopting and implementing UPOV 91 and strengthening Canada’s rail system through (Bill) C-30 and the CTA review,” he said in an e-mail.

“The facts are clear, that our efforts to date have been successful, with agriculture exports hitting a record $56.4 billion in 2014.”

Ritz said the government will work with members of Canada’s logistics supply chain to ensure industry is building enough capacity to increase exports into key markets.

Two dozen ocean vessels were waiting for grain deliveries at the Port of Vancouver at the end of April, well above the historical average for that time of year. | FILE PHOTO

“We will continue to work with industry to grow Canada’s agricultural exports to unprecedented heights,” he said.

But Boersch sees no real vision coming from Ottawa.

The government should be polling all the major export-oriented industries to determine what their infrastructure requirements will be over the next 10 years and exploring innovative ways to reduce the burden on the transportation system and ports, she said.

“How about, for crying out loud, looking at our supply management because wow, couldn’t you use more feed grains domestically and then export the little chickens.”

Boersch noted that Brazil has built a $10 billion business exporting poultry to Asia.

“They’re like us. They have an excess of feed grains,” she said.

Boersch said feeding chickens would be the simplest way to move up the value chain and reduce the strain on Canada’s rail transportation system because it takes less volume

Average vessel wait times at the Port of Vancouver increased to more 18 days in 2013-14, more than double the previous 10-year average of 8.75 days. Total demurrage costs incurred at all western port locations during 2013-14 hit a record $54.4 million.

to ship chickens than it does to ship the grain they eat.

“Why in the world aren’t we doing that? Because we’re protecting our chicken producers for 32 million flipping customers and there’s a world with billions of people out there. It’s insane. It honestly is so short-sighted, I can’t speak,” she said.

Mike Dungate, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada, said the quantity of chicken exported from Canada has nothing to do with supply management.

Chicken has the shortest shelf life of any meat, which means it has to be shipped frozen.

“And at that point the value drops dramatically,” he said.

freight, the discipline to manage it is probably not as high as it would be at normal levels,” Hemmes said.

“Grain companies don’t mind having to pay some demurrage because you always want to run your supply chain tight, but this is out of hand.”

In addition to long vessel lineups, vessel wait times in port have also been increasing steadily, according to GMP statistics.

In the 2013-14 crop year, grain ships dispatched from the Port of Vancouver spent an average of 18.8 days in port, up from 15 days in 2012-13. This year, in February and March, they averaged 17 days.

In the 10 years preceding the elimination of single-desk grain market-

MARK HEMMES QUORUM

ing, the average time in port was less than eight days.

Hemmes said grain companies have been working with railways to improve co-ordination of grain deliveries, but the task is complex and results have been limited.

“If you went back to the first 10 years of the grain monitoring program, average vessel times in port at Vancouver were around eight days. Now we’re seeing an average of 18 days, 17 days …” he said.

“Those (wait times) are what chalk up big bills.”

In the 2013-14 crop year, annual net demurrage charges were calculated at more than $54 million, including nearly $42 million at Pacific port locations and more than $12 million at Thunder Bay, Churchill and the St. Lawrence Seaway.

That was easily the largest demurrage expense incurred by the Western Canadian grain industry in the past 10 years.

02-03

Western Canadian farmers who paid record-setting demurrage charges in the 2013-14 crop year could be facing another significant expense in 2014-15.

According to figures published by Canada’s Grain Monitoring Program (GMP), the number of ocean vessels waiting to be loaded with grain at the Port of Vancouver in late April stood at 24.

That’s at least double the historical average for that time of year, according to the GMP. The April 20 vessel lineup in Vancouver included seven ships loading or partially loaded and 17 ships waiting for grain. The historical average for late April is 8 to 12 ships.

Mark Hemmes, a grain transportation expert whose company collects GMP data, says the reasons for long vessel lineups at Vancouver include cheap ocean freight and lack of logistical coordination.

“The No. 1 reason is that they don’t have the right grain arriving at Vancouver in a sequence that matches the arrival of vessels,” Hemmes said.

“But you also have to (consider) … that ocean freight right now is at record low levels,” he added.

“If you took a 10-year average on what a Panamax freighter should go for on a daily basis, it would probably run somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000 a day.”

“Right now, Panamax vessels are at around $4,900 to $5,500 a day … It’s dirt cheap.”

Inexpensive ocean freight rates result in lower daily demurrage charges. They can also result in longer wait times because the monetary penalties associated with leaving a ship at anchor for a few extra days are relatively small.

Nonetheless, the unusually large vessel lineups at Vancouver suggest that persistent logistical problems need to be addressed.

“When you’ve got such cheap

away the world’s largest exporters of chicken. Those two countries have a huge competitive advantage over Canada because of the Canadian winter.

Chicken barns in Brazil and the U.S. consist of wire with a roof on it and some flaps that roll down in case it gets cool.

“We can’t do that. We have to have a fully insulated barn,” said Dungate.

Canadian chicken barns have heated cement floors and ventilation. That increases the cost of production. Labour is also more expensive in Canada.

And then there are the economies of scale to contend with, with U.S. chicken operations being 16 times the size of Canadian barns.

“If exporting was really profitable for our guys and a better opportunity than what they’re doing now, they would do it,” said Dungate.

Instead, Canada’s chicken farmers are content supplying the domestic market with fresh chickens, which is what Canadian consumers want, he said. There are some exports because Canadian consumers prefer white meat, so some of the dark leg meat is frozen and exported.

Canada exported 191 million kilograms of chicken out of the 1.1 billion kilograms produced in 2013 and imported 190 million kilograms of largely white meat.

Boersch said another policy idea worth considering is having the government build a public terminal on the West Coast that will allow smaller shippers to export grain without having to deal with one of the big elevator companies.

“There’s lots we could do, but we just don’t tackle it. We keep doing the same thing over and over again.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Hail, rain take toll on Indian crops India’s chickpea supply to fall short of expectations by millions of tonnes

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

India has released a new estimate for the damage caused by March hail and rain storms and it is a big number.

The government estimates 47 million acres of cropland was affected by the storms, which is double its previous estimate.

To put that number in perspective, g row e r s i n Sa s k at c h e w a n a re expected to seed about 36 million acres this spring.

Half of the damage occurred in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is India’s top producer of lentils and peas and the fifth largest chickpea state.

G. Chandrashekhar, associate editor of the Hindu Business Line, said most of the damage in Uttar Pradesh

was to the wheat, rapeseed and mustard crops.

“There is damage to lentil and pea but not very heavy,” he said in an e-mail.

Chandrashekhar is forecasting 7.5 million tonnes of total Indian chickpea supply due to smaller-thananticipated seeded acreage and rain damage.

That is well below the government’s production estimate of 8.28 million tonnes, a number that doesn’t include carryout, and it is a far cry from the government’s target of 9.3 million tonnes of production.

“The saving grace is the large import of yellow peas and other pulses, which will to some extent cushion the shock.”

Chandrashekhar noted that there is huge speculative interest in chickpeas, which often leads to exagger-

ated claims of damage and loss.

“The market has already factored in the loss and price has risen by 20 percent,” he said.

Marlene Boersch, managing partner with Mercantile Consulting Venture, believes India will need to import an extra 1.5 to two million tonnes of pulses than it usually does to make up for the shortfall in production.

“In terms of extra demand, that’s a lot,” she said.

There is also concern about India’s summer crop, which is currently being planted.

The India Meteorological Department is forecasting monsoon season rainfall will be 93 percent of the longterm average due to weak El Nino conditions prevailing over the Pacific Ocean.

Below average monsoon rains

would reduce summer production and would likely result in fewer pulses going in the ground during the winter season, which is exactly what happened during winter 2014.

Boersch does not believe pulse markets have fully accounted for India’s shortfall and that bodes well for Canadian growers.

“What it tells me is that the balance sheets for next year are already very constructive in spite of acreage increases here,” she said.

Statistics Canada’s March seeding intentions report released on April 23 calls for 3.83 million acres of peas, up one percent from last year and 3.35 million acres of lentils, an eight percent increase.

Analysts believe increases for both crops will be much larger. sean.pratt@producer.com

BEIJING, (Reuters) — Punishing duties might not be enough to prevent Chinese importers from buying corn at international prices that are vastly cheaper than Chinese-produced corn.

However, analysts said volumes may be limited given fears of government action to curb imports because it is trying to reduce huge stocks that it bought at highly subsidized prices.

China allows 7.2 million tonnes of annual corn imports at a one percent import tariff, but most goes to large state-owned firms.

Private firms typically get only small volumes of quota corn and must buy the rest of their needs from domestic sources.

Global prices have fallen nine percent this year. Chinese domestic prices, propped up by government buying, are now so far above the global market that so-called “out-ofquota” imports at heavy duties look economic.

“Of course we will consider it if the price is cheaper,” said Jin Weidong, chairman of Wellhope Agri-tech, a major feed company.

U.S. No.2 corn was priced last week at about US$241 a tonne at southern China ports, nearly $160 below domestic prices.

Even after paying the 65 percent out-of-quota duty, it would still be about $14.50 cheaper than Chinese corn.

Out-of-quota imports, however, carry significant risks, said Li Qiang, chairman of consultancy Shanghai JC Intelligence. Although there are now no restrictions on imports, companies would be nervous this policy could change.

“China’s corn stocks are very big.

We believe China would increase its out-of-quota import management,” he said.

China’s state reserves hold a record 150 million tonnes, more than eight months’ consumption.

Beijing wants to lower its reserves but with weak demand at state auctions, it may choose to lower its selling price, which would erode the import margin.

Beijing could also bring in fresh import restrictions on unapproved genetically modified material or other contaminants, said industry participants.

$300 MILLION

Canadian taxpayers to ‘indirectly’ see CWB transition money returned: Ritz

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Public funds used to help CWB transition post-single desk will be returned to taxpayers, says Canada’s agriculture minister, however, not right away.

Officials estimate some $300 million was spent to assist CWB in the new environment since 2012.

“In order to keep CWB viable they

needed a foundation of taxpayers’ money to pay down the pension demands that were there, pay off the bills that were against the building, the railcars, there was a small down payment made on two boats that had to be paid out,” agriculture minister Gerry Ritz told the House of Commons agriculture committee April 30.

In April, officials announced the sale of CWB to G3, a partnership of Bunge Canada and a Saudi Arabian invest-

ment fund for $250 million. The deal is expected to close in July.

“Did the Canadian taxpayer get any money back from this transaction?” asked Malcolm Allen, NDP agriculture critic, whose party has been critical of the deal.

“They will with the economic driver that the CWB will become,” said Ritz. “… There’s different ways to collect tax and so on, Mr. Allen. Certainly over time they will see that money returned.”

When asked again, Ritz offered a short reply: “No, not directly. Indirectly they will.”

Speaking to the committee about the purchase, Ritz said “some 52 different entities” submitted proposals, including Farmers of North America.

FNA had explored the option of a farmer-led purchase, a bid that was ultimately rejected.

“The unfortunate part with the FNA proposal was it didn’t come with any

dollars or any kind of plan attached,” said Ritz.

“What (CWB) were shopping for in the outline … was someone who had the ability to capitalize, someone who had the logistics capacity and the ability to expand the footprint of CWB across Canada, not just in Western Canada anymore, as well as build port capacity both east and west coasts.” dan.yates@producer.com

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED STEERS STRONGER For the third consecutive week the Canfax fed average was more than $200 per hundredweight, trading at a premium over the Nebraska market.

Fed steers averaged almost $202 per hundredweight while heifers were around $201 per cwt.

Both traded for $333-$337 per cwt. on the rail in Alberta.

Yearling heifers continue to be marketed for less than steers and heifer slaughter continues at a strong pace. It was the second time in a month where western Canadian heifer slaughter volumes exceeded 19,000 head.

Basis levels are usually strongest in May. With more calves beginning to enter the slaughter mix carcass weights will likely decline.

TIGHT SUPPLIES LIFT PRICE Hog prices rose, supported by tight supplies after producers rushed animals to market in recent weeks.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$52-$53 per hundredweight May 1, up from $48.50$49 April 24. U.S. hogs averaged $73.91 on a carcass basis May 1, up from $63.96 April 24. The U.S. pork cutout rose to $73.86 per cwt. May 1, up from $69.94 April 24.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to May 2 was 2.164 million, down from 2.184 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.015 million last year at the same time.

BISON PRICES STEADY The Canadian Bison Association

said finished bison prices remain steady. 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.

Grade A heifers sold up to C$4.80.

U.S. buyers were offering US$3.90.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

DEMAND FOR LAMBS Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 831 sheep and 98 goats sold April 27.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $230-$375 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $260-$325, 70 to 85 lb. were $240$285, 86 to 105 lb. were $202.50-$250 and 106 lb. and heavier were $185$210.

Wool rams were $75-$130 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $70-$150 and bred ewes were $220-$430 per head.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $250-$360 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $235-$310, 70 to 85 lb. were $240$270, 86 to 105 lb. were $190-$240 and 106 lb. and heavier were $185-$197.

Hair rams were $77-$125 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $65-$120 and ewe/ lamb family were $385-$550 per unit.

Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $230-$270. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $235-$270. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $225-$255 per cwt. Nannies were $120-$175 per cwt. Billies were $125-$160.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 897 sheep and lambs and 37 goats traded April 27.

All classes of lambs and goats sold steady. There is a strong demand for heavy well-fed lambs.

FEEDERS WEAKEN The Canfax steer average fell $1 and feeder heifers were down almost $3.50. Volatile cattle futures made it difficult to manage feeding risk and t h e s t ro n g e r C a n a d i a n d o l l a r depressed American buying interest.

Large volumes of spring feeders were marketed through April with quality and lot size possibly contributing to softer prices.

Alberta steers 800 to 900 pounds averaged $246 per cwt. last week, up slightly from the previous week, while heifers fell to $232. These prices were similar across the western provinces. Ontario steers averaged $251 per cwt. and heifers slipped to $217 per cwt.

Alberta feeders 500-600 lb. averaged $327 per cwt. while heifers were down to $296 per cwt.

Saskatchewan 500-600 lb. steers were $328 and heifers were $289.

Manitoba saw steers average $333 per cwt. and heifers $290 per cwt.

Feedlots are still looking for cattle but are not prepared to take on excessive feeding risk. Fed market fundamentals will need to improve to restore feeding profitability and buyer confidence.

Feeder supplies should begin to tighten which will support prices, but this week feeders could see prices edge lower.

To thrive, a farm also needs the right financial conditions.

NON-FED SLAUGHTER DOWN

TD is committed to helping farmers build for the future.

Spring slaughter cow supplies were manageable and prices were steady.

D1, D2 cows ranged $140-$158 to average $148.13. D3 cows ranged $118-$143 to average $131.83. Railgrade cows were $282-$287.

Slaughter bull prices slipped $3.37 to $167.31 per cwt. The stronger loonie discouraged U.S. bids.

Non-fed slaughter was five percent lower than the previous week. Non fed slaughter to date was 104,311, down eight percent. Exports to date are down 26 percent at 86,898.

Normally non fed prices weaken in May but modest supplies and steady demand should keep prices steady.

The Franke twins first came to us in 2001 with an ambitious plan to grow their grandparents’ farm.

Though they were barely over 20, their TD Agriculture Specialist quickly recognized their potential and backed their plan. Over the years, Jolene has been there for every major financial decision affecting the farm, helping it grow to thousands of acres and over 250 head of cattle. A personalized approach to agriculture finance, like Jolene’s, is something all TD Agriculture Specialists bring. Maybe it’s time you brought one to your farm.

BEEF STRONG Boxed beef prices continue at unprecedented levels. The AAA cutout rallied 11 percent from $288 per cwt. in early January to $320 per cwt in mid April.

The cutout averaged $303 per cwt. in the first quarter, up 32 percent from last year and double prices from the first quarter of 2010.

Price support has come from across the carcass. For the week ending April 10, chucks were up 26 percent

CRAIG’S VIEW

CHEMICAL SAFETY, RESISTANCE

Judicious glyphosate use, not total ban is better solution

M

ake no mistake — the loss of glyphosate would be astonishingly expensive and bad for agriculture.

There are several camps among the myriad lobby groups, internet sites and selfdescribed health campaigners that would have the public believe otherwise, but there can be no other outcome if an outright ban were to be implemented.

And as the growing of food became more expensive and difficult and farm outputs dwindled, it wouldn’t be long before the effects were passed on down the food chain to food companies and consumers.

There are no winners in a total ban on glyphosate and we should challenge claims that state otherwise. Simply put, it is not sustainable.

However, glyphosate could be more judiciously used. The task ahead is to determine more exacting recommendations for when it should and should not be used.

Not only would that help calm some of the consumer concerns around glyphosate, but it would also serve farmers by eliminating some of the unnecessary uses, which would help fight the problem of glyphosate resistant weeds.

Currently, the forces working against glyphosate are many. There are campaigns in most regions of the world seeking at least to restrict glyphosate use, if not have it banned out right. Recently, an agency of the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as a likely carcinogen, health and consumer groups have raised concerns and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has developed a plan to place restrictions on glyphosate use, although it has not released details as yet.

The issue of destroying butterfly habits and milkweed, a major monarch butterfly food source, has added to the clamour.

As well, recently, the EPA announced that it may start testing food for glyphosate residue.

That is a positive development. If we believe glyphosate to be as safe as reported, we should not fear honest testing and transparency.

The case for glyphosate is simple. If not the safest herbicide ever developed, it is certainly one of the safest. Despite its main purpose to kill plant matter, it has low toxicity for animals and the environment.

But the most intense battle over glyphosate will be fought in the political arena, not so much in science institutions and laboratories.

That’s why it’s important that farmers take what action they can to influence change before other parties desiring more wholesale changes gain the upper hand.

If glyphosate use was stopped today, the alternatives farmers would be forced to use are much more toxic or environmentally harmful.

And the arguments that the world could get by on organic production alone does not stand up. Organic farming forms an important part of the agricultural industry but it cannot sustainably feed the world population.

If glyphosate was taken away from farmers tomorrow, it would mean more tillage and fuel usage, as well as acres and acres of natural habitat that would have to be plowed under to compensate for lower production.

That’s why it is important for all of society, not just farmers, to treat the issue seriously, but with common sense.

Glyphosate is at danger of becoming a victim of its own success. Because it is so easy to use and relatively safe, it has fallen into overuse. Farmers can help glyphosate’s public perception by stopping its prophylactic use and using only best management practices.

It will make some aspects of farming a little more difficult and inconvenient, but there is much at stake.

With an election less than six months away, Ottawa’s brightest political minds are already starting to shift into campaign mode. That is, unless you’re a member of the government still looking to pass the last of the session’s outstanding legislation.

One of those parliamentarians is agriculture minister Gerry Ritz – who’s latest agriculture bill, C-48, has been stuck at first reading since

last December.

The legislation, commonly known as the Modernization of Canada’s Grain Industry Act, would bring about changes to the Canadian Grain Commission. Among the changes would be a new mandate for the Grain Commission, along with producer protection and a new class of licenses for container loading facilities.

The minister has faced some pressure from industry groups, including the Grain Growers of Canada, who have said they would like the proposed legislation passed before Parliament rises for the summer – and before fall harvest.

The fixed election date set for October also means the likelihood of the House returning before the election is slim once Parliament takes summer break, leaving the fall free for a campaign.

That means Parliament could opt to wait until after Christmas to return to work, or at least pause until late November, where C-48 would have to be reintroduced in order for it to be

adopted, assuming the Conservatives win the election. Whether the Liberals or the New Democrats would reintroduce the bill is unclear.

If the federal Conservatives want the bill passed before the election they’re running out of time, and they know it.

Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking has already raised the lack of movement on the Grain Commission bill once in the House — a public query that sources say triggered a short-lived sense of urgency on the bill among Conservatives behind the scenes.

That urgency, sources say, was promptly quashed by ongoing debate around the government’s security bill, C-51, and the delayed arrival of the federal budget, which still awaits implementing legislation.

There is also debate remaining on C-42, the Common Sense Firearms Licensing Act, which the Conservatives would also like to see passed into law before the next federal election.

Which brings us to the April 30

meeting of the House agriculture committee, where minister Ritz was called to testify on parliament’s Main Estimates – a critical piece in parliament’s financial cycle.

Ministerial appearances at committee are also a great opportunities for MPs to ask the minister for updates on issues within their portfolios, or in this case, for the minister to express muted frustration on files that haven’t progressed as well as they might have hoped.

For Ritz, that file appears to be C-48, and he told the House agriculture committee as much.

According to the minister, the Conservative house leader Peter Van Loan had approached the Opposition parties to see if a deal could be reached in early April to fast track bill C-48 to committee, bypassing second reading.

Deals like this have been struck in the past, but require unanimous consent. For example, all parties agreed to fast-track the Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act to committee last spring in light of the grain transportation

crisis in the Prairies.

This time the NDP weren’t willing to play ball, Ritz told the committee, accusing his NDP colleagues of “playing political games.”

NDP sources tell a different story — suggesting the Conservative house leader broached the issue when he knew the Official Opposition members didn’t have anyone in the House who could speak to the bill before being fast-tracked.

The NDP house leader Peter Julian, so the story goes, asked for the issue to be postponed temporarily until enough speakers could be rounded up — a request, sources say, that was turned down by Conservatives who wanted the bill to be addressed immediately.

The issue, sources say, hasn’t been broached since.

And so, C-48 remains stuck a first reading, while parliament’s clock keeps ticking.

CFA sets priorities for farming in future

Sharing stories, even when we’re busy

BY RON BONNETT

T

he Canadian Federation of Agriculture board of directors met in Ottawa April 7-9 to discuss policy priorities for the agricultural sector, including priorities farmers across Canada would like to see on party platforms in the upcoming federal election.

Although the Canadian agriculture sector is diverse, priorities to sustain and strengthen Canadian farms were clear and unanimous throughout last week’s discussions.

The CFA plans to focus on several policy priorities during the coming months: • Ensure a viable, successful future for Canadian farms. Currently, there are several barriers to those hoping to enter a career as a farmer, which is troubling considering the average age of a today’s farmer is 54. The tax policy environment, farmland values and industry succession planning must be reviewed. The bottom-line: if a Canadian food supply is to be maintained, Canadian farmers need to stay in business.

• Leverage trade opportunities.

Trade agreements must mean real market access for Canadian farmers. It is also vital that trade agreements are sought out while simultaneously strengthening the agricultural infrastructure at home, which would include: ensuring western crop farmers have a cost-effective and efficient railway system to transport their product to national and interna-

• Build trust and transparency in agriculture. A stronger social

licence is required to safeguard a food system that works for both farmer and consumer. Fostering an improved two-way communication and developing increased awareness and transparency are essential.

Each of these areas have their own intricacies with policy, program and specific project recommendations, which the CFA plans to provide more details at a later date.

The board of directors also ap-

proved new policy statements on research, pipeline and taxation. The policies will be adopted into the federation’s standing policy.

A motion was also brought forward and approved to establish an internal trade committee that would develop policy that addresses barriers to interprovincial trade. The committee plans to present its recommended policy at October’s board of directors meeting.

Denis Landreville, Canada’s lead agriculture negotiator, provided an update on the ongoing the TransPacific Partnership negotiations and World Trade Organization negotiations, which appear to have regained some momentum.

He also addressed questions pertaining to the implementation of the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.

Between grassroots input, CFA’s elected and staff expertise, continued work with government and our partnerships across the value chain, we are confident significant headway will be made in the policy areas important to farmers.

In lead-up to a federal election, CFA looks forward to working hard to raise the profile of Canadian food and farmers.

Ron Bonnett is the president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.

It is Canada’s largest general farm organization with members from provincial general farm organizations, national and inter-provincial commodity organizations.

See how you fit in.

• You have extensive knowledge of crop protection products. You understand herbicide groupings and know a lot about mode of action. You know which products have re-cropping restrictions and which require extra sprayer clean-out procedures.

• You stick to products you’ve used in the past and seek the advice of others on product selection and use.

• Fertilizer concepts are well understood. You know which nutrients are mobile and what application techniques are likely to be successful.

• Fertilizer blends are a bit of a mystery and you have to think to come up with what each number in

• Dealing on equipment is your thing. You understand makes and models, the options and the relative values. You can spot a deal at an auction or on the dealer’s lot. You are always in the upgrade mode.

• You don’t spend a lot of time poring over the latest equipment sales fliers. You’ll shop for something newer or better only if you have identified a particular need to upgrade.

• Repairing equipment and keeping it running gives you a sense of satisfaction. You fix a lot of things that others would send to a repair shop.

• You despise equipment repair and run a nearly new line of equipment to avoid repairs and down time.

• You’d something of a techie. Variable rate application is the way of the future. You analyze yield maps and would like to integrate the use of a drone to gather more information.

• You just want the GPS hands-free guidance to continue working without any issues. Many of the bells and whistles that come with newer equipment are not really necessary.

• Discussions with your accountant and lender are stimulating. You find financial ratios highly enlightening.

Tax and investment planning are priorities.

• You have money in the bank and grain in the bin so you know you’re doing well financially. Your accountant will advise on actions you should take to minimize tax.

• You’re a people person. Your farm attracts seasonal and/or full time employees because people like working for you.

• Finding and keeping employees is a challenge. Bigger equipment compensates for a lack of bodies.

• There’s a firm succession plan. It’s discussed regularly and everyone understands how the farm and the management of the farm will be transitioned.

• Succession isn’t talked about much. No one is clear on the longrange plan. You’ll figure it out as you go along.

• You’re always on the lookout for new cropping options and are often the first in your area to try a new crop

or new crop variety.

• Let others try a new crop and prove that it works. Then you may be interested. Sticking with what has been working is the best strategy.

• You love marketing and you follow the latest supply and demand estimate and subscribe to one or more market advisory services. The cost of production for each crop is accurately determined to develop the overall marketing strategy.

• Analysts are wrong half the time so you just sell when the time seems right.

• Financial risk doesn’t bother you and the farm is highly leveraged to attain continual growth.

• You try to minimize debt, with incremental expansion coming mainly from money in the bank.

Every farm and farmer has strengths and weaknesses.

Fortunately, there are many different approaches to success.

hat is all this fuss about social media? Who has time to be checking the their phones, tablets and computers all day long, just to keep up with the latest chatter? Don’t people have anything better to do with their time?

Say, seeding?

I too am anxious to get the crop in the ground and time that is spare is short. However, I do really enjoy hearing and seeing how other people are doing on their farms and social media is a great way to do that.

The more than 20,000 folks that are following The Western Producer on Twitter (@westernproducer) and Facebook shows others are enjoying the medium too.

The seeding hashtag #Plant15 is currently my favourite Twitter address. It’s also the name of our Western Producer spring photo contest (a shameless plug for the online contest you can view online at www. producer.com/plant15). We’ve had spring and fall reader photo contests online for many years and they would attract, at most, 25,000 views.

Last year, our #harvest14 contest drew more than 230,000 views. This was in no small part related to the growth of social media.

The number of entries we receive for our contests has grown dramatically too. That’s a result of everyone now carrying a camera all of the time.

Spot a nice sunset from the cab of the sprayer or the top of the aircart?

Shoot it with your iPhone and you don’t have to go back to the house and download the images from the camera to share them. No need to look up email addresses either. Just post them on your, or someone else’s, Facebook wall or with a Twitter hashtag like #westcdnag. Within seconds, your farm experience is being enjoyed by thousands of other folks with interests in our region or industry.

Being able to take a live, instant peek into other farmers’ lives from around the prairies and the rest of the world — when I’m not busy spraying or seeding, of course — fascinates me. It’s best when I’m waiting for fertilizer or cleaning grain. I can get caught up with what my neighbours are doing — even the new ones that are hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

Other folks’ stories and experiences are a big part of what we do at The Western Producer, and based on your responses to them, online and in print, they are big part of farming too. mike.raine@producer.com

EXERCISE IN FUTILITY To the Editor: Re: “Ag investment needed to fight hunger” op-ed (WP, April 2) I am a refugee in Canada from SubSaharan Africa, where I worked as a business journalist in seven countries for more than 30 years, so I feel qualified to respond to this submission from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) — which is so unenlightened and inappropriate as to be hilarious, were it not so tragic.

One of the many obstacles to food production in Africa is tribalism, the system of government practised in most of the continent. The land is effectively “owned” by the tribal chiefs, of which there are many. They grant the use of that land to favored tribesmen, but not title — which is a cornerstone of the capitalist system alien in Africa.

Thus it has no value as collateral recognized by the banks, and so the tribesman/farmer has no access to capital.

It’s that simple. Countless international economists have pointed it out.

Meanwhile, Canadian taxpayers will, I assume, as part of, or in addition to the billions a year they already contribute in aid to the Third World, help fund the US$83 billion the FAO estimates will be needed as an “additional” investment in agriculture in Africa.

Much of this will be used to pay generous salaries to those on the gravy train implementing the “activities” the FAO describes in so many words, but which in total will be a futile exercise.

ket forces.

If it’s correct that those interests now support the revenue cap, then their backing is clearly moveable. In 1999, those same groups claimed a preference for commercial, contractbased grain freighting recognizing that railways will invest in a healthy grain transportation system if grain provides returns commensurate with other commodities.

The associations’ argument of a “lack of market forces” is hard to square with the fact that Canadian railways provide the lowest rates in the world.

But importantly, the revenue cap hampers an efficient supply chain and is responsible for stalling innovation and investment. The purchase

of larger hopper cars, capable of carrying 25 percent more grain and speeding deliveries, would be tricky given the base year inputs to the revenue cap. And acquiring the cars would not be without investor risk given the claim by shipper groups to railway efficiency gains. These facts alone mean it’s time for a better system. And we should talk about it.

We have been to past SARM conventions and witnessed what Reno rural municipality councillor Paul Heglund expressed. The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration resolution has only been one of many where directors only forwarded the resolution to the appropriate minister then posted the minister’s reply as to action taken.

Most of the time the resolution calls for more direct action than forwarding a resolution.

If what former SARM’s president

David Marit said is true regarding a good working relationship with the province, they would have had one with the NDP when they governed.

We were there when the directors met the last NDP minister coldly. The next year, when the Saskatchewan Party formed the government, the directors could not applaud loud or long enough.

The principle is that all of SARM representatives must be non-partisan at all times.

The revenue cap (a federal policy that limits rail profits on grain shipments) is under study by the Canada Transportation Act review panel.

Except by their groups, it would seem, for following their call for silence, the associations launch into a defense of the revenue cap.

BREAKDOWN COMING To the Editor: Re: “Breaking down nitrogen prices” (WP Mar.19) Don Pottinger (former president of Saskferco) is trying to explain the fertilizer price situation by comparing it to the price of a pizza versus the price of the ingredients to make the

pizza. In my opinion, he should have explained it like this : Someone decided to open a pizza joint in this particular town and his business plan was to threaten and bully all the other pizza restaurants so that they decided to leave and before you knew it, that person was charging $20 for a $5 pizza, and people were paying it because he was the only joint in town.

Pottinger goes on saying, “the market is the market.” That is a joke. In a lot of cases the market is the market as the fertilizer manufacturer dictates it. When a price is set by market manipulation and price-fixing it becomes an artificial market, where supply can be kept low in places where “the market can bear a higher price.”

As a farmer, I totally understand that you like to maximize your returns, but it should be done in a fair supply-and-demand scenario, and

try to maximize your returns by volume especially when the main input (natural gas) is very cheap.

I also realize that the local retailers are caught in the middle, taking the brunt of the complaints, while they simply have to pass on the high fertilizer costs.

Maybe I am getting to old and grumpy to deal with all this (even though I am only 54) and I am sure I will be OK for the duration of my career, but I am very concerned about the next generation, and the agriculture industry as a whole.

Even though I singled out the fertilizer industry, there are numerous companies that do the exact same thing with diesel prices, electrical transmission and distribution charges and on and on. At one point in time the camel’s back will break.

n Sean Pratt’s story titled “Industry slow to defend GMOs, says ag minister,” federal agriculture minster Gerry Ritz described his struggle to combat misinformation about GMO technology.

“We’re muzzled. We’re muffled.

But somehow we’ve got to come up with a way to get around that,” Ritz said.

“A commentator on Producer.com who identified himself as Jason took exception to this portrayal: “This coming from the Conservative government that has been muzzling scientists since they got into power. Wow... The most anti-science, anti-freedom of information from scientists government is complaining that the science and voices from scientists are being drowned out by groups just trying to make a buck.

Perhaps now Ritz will know how it feels to be one of those “Radical” environmentalist his government has been demonizing for the last nine years.”

It did take me a moment to connect the dots in Ryan’s logic at the end of his comment, although I do appreciate the irony of a Conservative cabinet minister complaining about being muzzled while it’s very difficult to get many of the Agriculture Canada scientists under his watch on record.

Stories about GMO technology often draw comments to our website.

There are people who are dead set against any use of GMOs, and others who rely on the technology for their livelihood. So it’s not surprising the debate heats up at times.

In the same comment section of Pratt’s story, a commentator identified as Richard wrote this: “The lack of vigilance around the precautionary principle has led us down the yellow brick road to a monoculture of thinking and practice....Anyone hitching their future to GM tech and one obsolete chemical are destined to become redundant in their own time.....it’s simple natural law.....Or as Einstein put it...” specialization leads to extinction.”

A commentator who identified herself as Amelia Jordan had this to say in response to Richard’s comment: “There are 8 commercial GMO crops though, so encouraging a monoculture culture isn’t the reality with GM technology. If anything, GM tech allows us to vastly broaden the possibilities of crop development, even going so far as to help bring crops that were never successfully domesticated to our table. That increases sustainability and crop diversity, which is exactly what farmers are advocating for.”

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION PROBLEMS

Political parties must meet farmers, say ag groups Leaders want politicians running in the next federal election to explain how they would solve grain-handling problems

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A coalition of Saskatchewan farm groups says Canada’s major political parties need to come up with concrete policy positions outlining steps to address chronic problems in Western Canada’s commercial railway and grain handling systems.

Representatives from the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS), the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SWDC) and the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission

These kinds of losses are unsustainable by producers.

ARLYNN KURTZ APAS VICE-PRESIDENT

(SBDC) said federal political parties need to tell prairie farmers before the fall election how they intend to address ongoing rail service issues as well as problems in the country’s grain handling system.

By some estimates, those problems

have cost western Canadian grain growers billions of dollars over the past year and a half.

Arlynn Kurtz, a retired farmer and APAS vice-president, said representatives from the three groups travelled to Ottawa last week to lobby for farmer-friendly policies that would result in better access to world markets and higher farmgate returns.

The groups met with MPs from four political parties and stressed the fact that high basis levels combined with unpredictable rail service have cost prairie farmers an estimated $3 bil-

lion or more over the past 18 months or so.

“These kinds of losses are unsustainable by producers,” said Kurtz, a retired grain grower from Stockholm, Sask.

“We’ve come through a period of relatively high commodity prices and that’s a time when producers would like to be able capitalize because there’s always infrastructure that they’d like to work on, machinery that needs to be replaced and debts that need to be cleaned up.

2014 suggests that western Canadian grain farmers lost an estimated $3.1 billion in the 2013-14 crop year alone due to rail transportation delays and high basis levels.

Prairie farmers stand to lose a significantly higher amount this year, the farm groups claim.

Citing another study, Kurtz said excess basis costs paid by farmers are currently in the range of $62 per tonne, or $1.69 per bushel.

Agriculture wish list Here are the key requests Saskatchewan groups put forward: • A complete review of current railway costs.

• The establishment of a new oversight group to monitor railway revenues and excess basis levels.

• New rail regulations to ensure increased rail capacity for grain shippers and dependable access to global grain markets.

• The retention of railway revenue caps or maximum revenue entitlements (MREs) that limit how much revenue railways can generate from hauling a tonne of prairie grain.

• A system that guarantees commercial agreements between railways and shippers, including reciprocal monetary penalties and cost-effective methods for resolving or arbitrating contractual disputes.

• Improved rail car allocation provisions for shortline railway companies and producer car loaders.

• A new regulatory environment that would enhance the negotiating position of producers when dealing with grain companies.

“A full (railway) costing review is an absolute must,” Kurtz said.

“The maximum revenue entitlements also need to stay and after a costing review is done, they might have to be adjusted. But for now, we want to know, what are the railways’ costs and what is a reasonable (rate) for moving grain?”

In addition to a costing review, it is critical that shortlines and producer car loaders receive better service and more predictable railcar spotting performance.

“As it stands, producer car loaders and shortlines are the only competition to elevator basis,” Kurtz said.

“It’s very important that the right and privilege (to load producer cars) stays in place for producers and that they get the cars that they need.”

Kurtz said MPs seeking re-election have an obligation to hear the concerns of prairie farmers..

The Saskatchewan entourage had meetings with a number of parliamentarians including Liberal agriculture critic Mark Eyking, NDP agriculture critic Malcolm Allen, and Bev Shipley, chair of the House of Commons standing agriculture committee.

Lower input costs to send freight rates down The 5.6 percent decrease is due to an adjustment on diesel fuel prices, car maintenance costs and hopper car leases

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It looks like freight rates charged by Canada’s major railway companies to move western Canadian grain to market will be likely going down in the 2015-16 crop year.

The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) announced April 29 that the formula used to determine railway revenue caps for grain, or maximum revenue entitlements, has been adjusted downward to reflect lower-than-expected input costs at the country’s major railway companies — Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway.

According to the CTA, the VolumeRelated Composite Price Index or VRCPI, will be reduced by 5.6 percent in the 2015-16 crop year beginning Aug. 1.

The VRCPI is an inflation-related factor used to determine the maximum amount of revenue that can be earned by railways for moving a tonne of prairie grain through regulated railway corridors to Thunder Bay, Vancouver and Prince Rupert.

The VRCPI limits the amount of revenue that CN and CP can charge for moving a tonne of grain but it does not limit how much grain the railways can move in total.

According to the CTA , the 5.6 percent decrease announced this week reflects adjustments to previously estimated railway input costs on items such as diesel fuel, hopper car leases, car maintenance costs and capital.

Of the 5.6 percent reduction, 4.1 percent was attributed to replacing last year’s input costs forecasts with revised or actual railway costs.

The remaining 1.5 percent decrease was due to forecasted input price changes for the upcoming crop year.

“The 4.1 percent decrease is largely attributable to the agency having over forecasted the change in railway fuel prices for the 2014-15 crop year,” the

Producers may be paying less to haul grain this fall thanks to a decrease in the railway revenue cap. | CTA decision explains.

“As well, last year’s 2015 forecast for the price of crude oil was much higher than this year’s. In (Canadian dollar) terms, the agency had forecasted $100.45 CAD (per barrel) for 2015 last year and is now forecasting

$66.79 per barrel.”

In recent years, fluctuations in the VRCPI have been largely due to volatility in fuel prices, the agency noted.

The VRCPI rose by 9.7 percent in 2012-13. That was followed by a 1.8 percent decrease in 2013-14, and a 4.5

percent increase in 2014-15.

The 5.6 percent increase established for the 2015-16 crop year is the second largest decrease recorded in the past 15 years.

The VRCPI is now set at 1.2517, up 25 percent relative to the base value of 1.0

set in 2000-01.

The VRCPI is expected to grow at an average annual compounded rate of 1.5 percent over the 2000-2001 to 2015-2016 period, the agency said. brian.cross@producer.com

ASIAN TRADE

TPP deal good for Canadian economy: cattle group The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association hopes the Trans-Pacific Partnership can triple beef exports

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canada needs to be part of the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership deal for the health of its economy, job market and beef trade.

So says John Masswohl, director of government and international relations for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

As a member country in a TPP deal, Canada could work toward duty-free access to lucrative markets, particularly Japan, and demand certain concessions from countries that joined later.

“If Canada isn’t part of the deal, then look at who else is in there — Australia and the United States,” said Masswohl. “If they’re going to get duty free access into Japan and we

JOHN MASSWOHL CANADIAN CATTLEMEN’S ASSOCIATION

don’t, we can forget about being able to export Canadian beef to Japan.”

Japan imposes a 38.5 percent tariff on Canadian beef. Despite that, Canada exported more than $100 million worth of beef to Japan last year, Masswohl said.

In addition to tariffs, Japan has a policy “safeguard” that increases the tariff to 50 percent if its imports reach a certain trigger point. A TPP deal could change that.

“Our (beef) imports could be quite

a bit higher without the tariff and without that safeguard,” he said.

“Our feeling is that if we can get the deal that we think is achievable here with TPP, we could be doing $250 to $300 million a year into Japan” Masswohl said Canada is already at a disadvantage to Australia in terms of beef sales to Japan. Those two countries signed a trade agreement that reduced Australia’s beef tariff to 32.5 percent.

“We’re probably going to be short of that $100 million this year because of that,” he said. “It’s either we get the deal we need and we move forward, or we’ll lose the market.”

Some have suggested that Canada’s inclusion in the deal depends at least in part on concessions on supply management.

Federal agriculture minister Gerry

Ritz, however, has said Canada won’t be bullied into any decisions on that score.

Masswohl said the suggestion that Canadian concessions will be needed on dairy, poultry and eggs ignores the complexity of the talks and the deal.

“It’s a bit simplistic to say that there is a sticking point. These are complex negotiations where every country wants multiple things from various other countries,” he said. “There are difficult decisions. There’s things outside of agriculture as well.

“There’s a lot of moving pieces, but the key to all of them is that Canada be in on this deal right from the beginning.”

The TPP deal hinges largely on whether the U.S. obtains fast-track trade promotion authority that would

allow it to sign a deal without having it renegotiated by Congress.

TPP negotiators met near Washington, D.C., last week amid what Masswohl deemed was a positive mood that fast-track authority could be approved soon.

Though Canada could conceivably enter a TPP deal later, that would eliminate its ability to dictate terms with other countries that also joined later.

“Membership has its privileges and one of the privileges is there are other countries that want in that are not in … Taiwan and Korea are lining up and if we’re in and they’re trying to get in, we can basically demand certain concessions from those countries,” said Masswohl. barb.glen@producer.com

AVIAN INFLUENZA

Biosecurity protocols emphasized to control transmission The deadly virus can be spread by wild birds — small poultry producers with backyard flocks are urged to take sanitary precautions

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Avian influenza outbreaks in Canada and the U.S. have poultry producers on high alert, but biosecurity isn’t just a concern for commercial quota holders.

Industry-issued reminders for careful sanitization and transportation are also directed at smaller producers making farmgate sales and backyard flocks kept for show and sustenance.

A tight biosecurity plan is seen as key to minimizing the spread of the deadly avian influenza virus that’s

resulted in the deaths of millions of birds in the U.S. this year.

Several U.S. states have declared states of emergency related to the H5N2 outbreak, a deadly strain of avian influenza that’s also appeared in Ontario and B.C. In the latter province, the virus was found in two backyard flocks.

Wild birds are believed to carry the virus, shedding it as they migrate north and south.

“People need to be aware that when these flocks are passing through that’s when the risk is there. It’s in the ground. It’s in the water and people can track it in and your birds can

track it in from outside as well,” said Kathy Erickson, manager of field services with the B.C. Chicken Marketing Board. “Once you get them inside a barn or into a group of birds, it can travel through them very quickly.”

Ingrid Devisser of the Feather Board Command Centre said poultr y boards maintain a database of backyard flocks through information gathered from chick and poult dealers.

The FBCC is an effort of Ontario’s four poultry marketing boards to coordinate the response to disease outbreaks.

“All flocks are vulnerable to disease,

but pastured poultry is at a greater risk of direct contact with migratory bird droppings,” she told The Western Producer in an email. “All farmers need to employ excellent biosecurity protocols to minimize the risk of disease transmission into their flocks.”

Janeen Colvin raises pastured chickens and turkeys on her farm near Endeavour, Sask. An exemption allows her to operate outside of the province’s supply management regulations, giving her 4,000 non-quota chickens.

“It does make me nervous. Not that I really feel it’s a problem, but the fact that they’re going to start making us

do crazy things on our farm that don’t line up with our principles,” said Colvin of Cool Springs Ranch.

Colvin contains her birds in a hoop house as they feed.

“We move them to a new piece of grass every day, so they’re not living in their own crap. They’re always on clean ground. I don’t know if a person can take much better precautions than keeping a clean environment,” said Colvin, who acknowledged the risk.

She acknowledged there may be some risk. “Yeah, they could go over a goose dropping. I’m sure it’s possible,” she said.

Glenn Black also pastures poultry on his farm in northern Ontario. He said he takes sanitary precautions and makes efforts to keep his work boots away from other footwear.

He also keeps guardian dogs to keep wildlife away.

“Most small flock farmers wouldn’t have that necessarily,” said Black, president of the Small Flock Poultry Farmers of Canada, an advocacy and lobby group with members in several provinces but with a focus on Ontario.

Earlier this year, the Chicken Farmers of Ontario publicly committed to communicate information with small producers during disease outbreaks.

DeVisser said an effort is made send information to both commercial quota holders and backyard flock owners, as well as hatcheries, dealers and brokers.

Information is posted online, but Black wishes more was done to alert owners of news.

“Certainly I think it’s a lot more out of sight, out of mind with most small flockers,” said Black.

Both Colvin and Black felt their poultry were no more vulnerable to disease than birds raised in large barns.

Colvin touted the strong performance of her animals, which are raised in a much different environment from those grown in a concentrated animal feeding operation.

“I’m in a small numbers, clean environment sort of scenario,” said Colvin.

“I’m not so worried, but I could be proved wrong at some point. I have had no problems yet.”

During the outbreak in B.C., quota producers with pastured birds pulled them indoors.

“For any of our organic flocks that have to be outside, they were kept inside during avian influenza to minimize the risk of them being in contact with the wild bird flu,” said Erickson.

A manual produced by the B.C. ministry of agriculture for small flock producers advises owners to “think isolation,” instructing them to not share equipment, avoid introducing new stock to existing flocks and restricting vehicle movement and visitors around bird areas.

An industry-driven initiative in B.C. also produced an online biosecurity guide at protectmyflock.ca.

The tool provides guidelines for farm layout and recommended practices for truck traffic and visitors.

“We want to keep them abreast of what’s going on so they can protect themselves and their operation,” said Erickson. “It doesn’t matter how big or small it is. We’re all in the same boat.” dan.yates@producer.com

QUILL LAKES FLOODING

Rising waters wash away land, farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; futures Landowners propose an engineered lake drainage outlet to limit further losses

The Zerbin farm along Highway 6 near Dafoe, Sask., is surrounded by rising water from the Quill Lakes.

A berm has been constructed to protect the Zerbinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; farmyard but outside the berm, thousands of acres of pasture and farmland have already been lost. By the time the Quill Lakes reach their natural spill point at 522 metres elevation, nearly 60,000 acres of farmland will be lost, say local landowners.

Current lake levels are around 520.6 metres, up nearly half a metre since Jan. 1. | JASON FRIESEN PHOTO

Spring has sprung on the Prairies and that means farmers have turned their thoughts to seeding, working the land and anticipating a bountiful harvest.

In normal times, Ron Laybourne would be among those farmers.

By early May, he should be knee deep in efforts to plant a crop on his farm near Leroy, Sask., a two hour drive east of Saskatoon.

But this year, Laybourne is knee deep in something else.

Since 2004, water levels in Big Quill Lake and Little Quill Lake have risen by nearly seven metres.

And as levels continue to rise, the shorelines of the lakes continue to expand outward.

At first, marginally productive crown land disappeared, followed by privately owned pastures and thousands of acres of grassland managed by local grazing co-ops.

More recently, the water has taken over houses, farmyards and productive cropland, some of it valued at $2,000 per acre just a few years ago.

Less than a decade earlier, some grain growers were buying land in the area at top dollar. Today, those same growers are making mortgage payments and paying interest charges on a soggy lake bottom.

In 2007, when Laybourne and his family moved to their new farmyard, between Quill Lake, Sask., and Leroy, Sask., the shores of Big Quill were at least three kilometres away.

This spring, the fields outside his farm house are completely submerged and the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waves are liter-

Laybourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation is not uncommon in the Quill Lake area.

Dozens of farmers in the region, perhaps hundreds, are facing similar circumstances in rural areas around Quill Lake, Wadena, Elfros, Mozart, Wynyard, Kandahar, Dafoe, Jansen.

Leroy and Watson.

Across the region, farmers are watching helplessly as their farms and properties are washed away.

Kerry Holderness, a landowner and councillor in the Rural Municipality of Lakeside, says millions of dollars worth of assets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including cropland, pastures, farmyards, grain bins, roads, bridges and other municipal assets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are either at risk or are already sitting at the bottom of the lake.

And the water levels show no signs of receding.

This year, between Jan. 1 and May 1, water levels in the Quill Lakes rose by another half metre from 520.2 metres to nearly 520.65 metres.

For rural municipalities and private landowners, the situation is critical he says.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE A recent flood mitigation report conducted by Golder Associates outlined the gravity of the situation.

“The floodwaters are … threatening linear infrastructure around the lake, including key transportation routes,” the January 2015 report stated.

Those routes include: • A Canadian Pacific Railway railbed between Lanigan and Wynyard, Sask., which has an estimated elevation of 520.8 metres.

• A major provincial highway, Highway 6, whose shoulder elevation is listed at 520.74 metres.

• Highway 35, a provincial highway with an elevation of 522 metres.

• Municipal Grid Road No. 640 which runs north and south between Little Quill Lake and Big Quill Lake.

Despite efforts, the 640 grid is now within inches of being submerged.

The RM of Lakeside has already spent millions of dollars trying to salvage the road, the last link between the north and south sides of the Quill Lakes. Last year alone, the municipality hauled in $1 million worth of rock to build up the road and reinforce its shoulders, Holderness says.

As far as private property is concerned, it is hard to say how much farmland has been swallowed up.

By some estimates, private losses number in the range of 20,000 to 50,000 acres, not including pasture.

On his farm, Laybourne has lost about 1,300 acres in the past few years.

His neighbour, Jason Friesen, a husband and father of three, has also lost 1,200 acres or more, some of it covered in water, some still above water but sitting on inaccessible islands.

“Those assets are lost,” says Friesen.

Tens of thousands of acres of farmland have been lost to rising water levels in the Quill Lakes. No crop insurance is available after the first year of flooding. | BRIAN CROSS PHOTO “You can’t drain it. You can’t sell it.

Who’s going to buy it?”

For Laybourne, the loss of farmland is one thing. But the stress and uncertainty associated with deciding a future course of action is another.

He is trying to rent additional land to compensate for what’s been lost.

But dry farmland is at a premium and rental rates are often prohibitive.

He will plant a crop this year, but his acreage is slowing dwindling and the stress involved with farming in a flood zone is taking its toll.

In early April, Laybourne’s farm machinery was perched on a knoll not far from the yard, temporarily

safe from encroaching flood waters.

The road leading to yard is another matter. If the water keeps rising, Laybourne is not sure if the RM will try to keep it open or if they will finally let the lake take it over.

Provincial disaster assistance programs in Saskatchewan will help to pay for construction of a berm around the perimeter of his yard.

But as Laybourne’s Uncle Ray sees it, there is no use building a berm if all the land outside the berm is flooded as well.

“My wife an I are basically sitting on pins and needles because we’re watching the lake rise and we’re try-

ing to decide what to do,” Laybourne says. “We’ve thought about moving to another yard but there’s not many spots available.

“We can’t just walk away from the homestead. Everything we’ve got is out there,” he adds.

Landowners in the Quill Lake area and municipal governments from the region have been lobbying federal and provincial governments for financial assistance and a permanent solution to the problem. But so far, a consensus hasn’t been reached.

The report by Golder Associates suggested a number of options, including diverting water before it

reaches the lake, constructing a lake outlet and control structures, or allowing the lake levels to rise until their reach their natural spill point.

At 522 metres, the lakes will begin releasing their water into the Assiniboine River Basin, a system that moves water east through Saskatchewan and into Manitoba through the cities of Brandon, Portage la Prairie and Winnipeg.

But before that happens, the monetary costs associated with further property losses and additional infrastructure upgrades could approach $80 to $85 million.

The favoured option, at least among landowners, proposes an engineered lake drainage outlet and control structures.

That option would cost about $48 million and would limit further losses of land and yards as well as provincial and municipal infrastructure.

“It’s a sensitive issue,” Holderness concedes. “The people downstream don’t want our water but I think they’re starting to realize that they might get it anyway.”

“If we prepare for this and we manage the situation in a proper manner and put the necessary infrastructure in place, the flooding will stop, the situation will stabilize and we’ll be able to manage the outflows and minimize the impact downstream.”

“The sooner the decision is made to drain this lake, the less money that’s going to be wasted and thrown down a hole,” he adds. “This is not just a situation that concerns landowners anymore. There’s a lot of taxpayers money that’s already been wasted. And there could be a lot more.” brian.cross@producer.com

MAIN STREET PROGRAM

Rural business hub gets makeover Program capitalizes on town assets of heritage, culture and conservation

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

SPIRITWOOD, Sask. — Spiritwood mayor and pharmacist Gary von Holwede prides himself on hearing there is no place to park on Main Street.

“Those are encouraging words,” said von Holwede, who owns the Spiritwood Good Health Pharmacy along the business hub with his pharmacist wife, Heather.

“That’s when I believe we are doing something right,” he said.

The town, which includes 900 residents but services about 5,000, participates in Saskatchewan Parks, Culture and Sport’s Main Street Saskatchewan program that supports communities revitalizing historic and business centres.

For Spiritwood, von Holwede said that means keeping traffic flowing into town and people shopping locally.

From a basement office down the street, Bevra Fee, managing director of Northern Lakes Economic Development Corporation, is surrounded by papers filled with other ideas to perk up the town where she was born.

“The goal is to establish a funded and well managed Main Street program,” said Fee, who is helping lead the town’s quest to gain Main Street accreditation status and be eligible for funding.

Currently it has affiliate status and limited access to program resources but under an accredited status, it could apply for as much as $20,000 for heritage conservation, $10,000 for building projects and $10,000 for community enhancement.

“Under the Main Street program, a hired program manager would promote the hub as a business and social centre for the community,” she said.

Fee noted challenges for a chamber of commerce run by volunteers in managing the workload of business and community promotion.

Step one for Spiritwood was collecting comprehensive information about a defined area of main street businesses, including when they were built, their historical value and their business profiles.

Fee hoped this information will improve communication with the businesses about the program and other initiatives such as highway signage, special events, website creation and succession planning and Shop at Home campaigns.

Over one year, Fee shopped almost exclusively in town for her family’s needs and blogged about it.

“I found if they don’t have it, they will order it in for you,” she said.

Rachelle Beauchesne says owning a salon is a dream come true. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTOS It wasn’t without challenges, including filling up with gas the night before an early morning trip and poring over flyers to get deals competitive with larger urban stores.

Fee said the goal is to identify the town’s assets.

“You don’t want to invent a new identity and have it fake,” she said.

“You want to soul search what your community is all about.”

Artwork will adorn light post banners created to display themes of nature, lakes, heritage and recreation in the community.

“It’s what was there when it started, what it still is today. It shows off the town identity and helps reminds ourselves,” said Fee. During a tour of Main Street, Fee pointed to an empty lot beside the busy post office, where a park could be created.

“Gaps are opportunities to put something in there,” said Fee. Cultural displays in empty store windows in addition to flower pots can also create an inviting environment for shoppers. Metal siding is prominent but also practical and durable and gives dilapidated buildings a facelift, she said.

At The Nines, hairdresser Rachelle Beauchesne brought her specialized Paul Mitchell training and a city vibe to her small salon, transforming the space with bold colours and a lounging couch.

I never would have had my own salon in Saskatoon. The market is too saturated and expensive.

You can realize those dreams in a small town a lot easier.

“I never would have had my own salon in Saskatoon. The market is too saturated and expensive,” she said.

“You can realize those dreams in a small town a lot easier.”

Guy’s Furniture bursts with bold tables, couches and electronics, spilling into another showroom across the street.

Martodam Family Retail store down the street is equally stuffed, using up almost every square foot of

space for items ranging from sneakers to baby clothes to bedding.

Across the street from a wolf statue, erected as a symbol of the town’s spirit and vitality, sits a modern office building housing the Agency Chiefs Tribal Council.

Steven Jim, ACTC tribal representative, said the ideas taken from the Main Street program extend beyond downtown.

“Those opportunities could be happening on First Nations too.”

Jim said communities benefit from economic development initiatives, good roads, recreational facilities and job opportunities.

Von Holwede said the program resulted in moving the Spiritfest and Heritage Hoopla, slated for June 5, from the recreation centre to Main Street.

“Revitalization is taking a look at what you have been successful at in the past. It’s an awareness that things are important, they don’t just happen by chance.”

Bruce Dawson, manager of historic places programs for Saskatchewan Parks, Culture and Sport, said the Main Street program differs from other economic development initiatives.

“You don’t have to build it, just maintain it,” he said. “What is unique is the focus on heritage conservation and using historic buildings as assets.”

Dawson said downtowns are often hubs for people to come together.

“Main Street is about recapturing some of that,” he said.

Dawson said it offers a proven approach to revitalizing communities by capitalizing on their historic assets and cultural identity.

“With that, they also get economic growth,” he said.

Communities can apply each year and can remain involved as long as they want. There are currently 15 communities in the program, including five at the accredited level.

Maple Creek was involved through the demonstration phase of the program that began in 2011 and has implemented programs like a small business loan co-operative to help support business owners rehabilitate buildings. It also works with nearby Cypress Hills to promote the area and partner with Community in Bloom to spruce up public areas. karen.morrison@producer.com

Hilltop Dairy about more than meat and milk Fundraising, election planning and community involvement are part of busy lifestyle for couple managing mixed farm

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

FORT MACLEOD, Alta. — If you want something done, ask a busy person, as the saying goes.

That may be why southern Alberta dairy farmers Conrad and Rhonda Van Hierden and their family are involved in so many pursuits beyond managing their 180 cow dairy, 200 beef cow herd and 4,000 acres of farmland.

It’s not that dairy farming isn’t rewarding, said Conrad.

“We enjoy it. It’s all we’ve ever done, mind you, so we don’t know any better.”

Both he and Rhonda grew up on dairy farms in the region and started their current operation, Hilltop Dairy, in 1981 with 70 cows. It expanded from there.

“It has been about the same size for the last 10 years,” said Conrad.

“Now our son is starting to get involved in the business so it will probably grow a bit more.”

Conrad spends a lot of time on his cellphone, organizing the farming crew that in mid-April was seeding wheat, barley and canola. Alfalfa is also part of the cropping mix so the operation supplies the dairy feed.

But the phone is also busy with calls about the recent Alberta election campaign. Conrad is on the provincial Livingstone Macleod Progressive Conservative Association executive, as well as the federal Conservative association that will be planning its election strategy.

In addition, he is president of the Fort Macleod crime prevention committee and is a board delegate for Alberta Milk.

Though he doesn’t specify, the activity closest to his and Rhonda’s hearts may be the annual event hosted on their farm to raise money for research into ataxia-telangiectasia, an inherited and rare neurodegenerative disease.

They lost their oldest son, Randy, to it in 2004 at age 20.

The family’s fund-raising efforts for

THE VAN HIERDEN FAMILY Fort Macleod, Alta. research began in 1998, when the family organized a bike ride and walkathon. Community support has kept it going and growing.

On June 20, the Van Hierdens will host the 17th annual event at Hilltop Dairy, which includes a silent auction, pony rides, petting zoo and other events.

“We’re getting close to the $2 million mark that we’ve raised for genetic research, stem cell research, cancer research and research for the

A-T children’s project,” said Conrad.

Rhonda remembers their surprise when Randy was diagnosed at age 7 and they first understood its severity.

“We said, ‘what do you mean, there’s no medicine’, ” recalled Rhonda. When they learned about an A-T children’s project in Florida, they got in touch and started contributing through their own fundraisers.

But the loss of Randy isn’t their only heartbreak. Their daughter, Rebecca, was 13 when she died in an ATV accident in 2001.

“It taught us to persevere,” said Conrad.

“The memory, the love that you shared with one another, that is beautiful. That never stops,” said Rhonda. “But it’s a hard experience.”

Rhonda said she has always enjoyed farm life, especially working with animals.

“It started as a child,” she said. “At home, we had a mixed farm and when my parents were milking, I went with them just to see the cows.”

Their son David, 21, has inherited a love of farming. Recently married, he bought his own quarter section of land and works in all aspects of the family farm operation.

“I enjoy it. It’s fun. It’s what I like to do. I’ve been doing it since I was 10. I bought some land of my own and it just keeps you busy, gives you something to look forward to,” said David.

He also shares his parents’ respect for livestock.

“If you don’t like the animals, you just can’t do it. And the animals have to like you back. … You’ve got to treat them with respect, and they’ll treat you with respect.”

Daughter Jennifer, her husband, Gerald, and their three children manage farm property to the west of Hilltop. Jennifer continues to help on the farm, where she has run most of the farm equipment at one time or another. A third daughter, Katie, is a bank branch manager in nearby Lethbridge. barb.glen@producer.com

EXPLAINING DEATH

Be honest with son about death of loved one and grieve together SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Nanny has been in the hospital for the past few weeks and is not likely to leave it. Her physician tells us that she is terminally ill and

that she does not have much time left to be with us. All of us are sad, but we also recognize that Nanny is old and seems to be prepared to do what she has to do.

My problem is my four and a half year old son. He is really fond of his great-grandmother and I know he will miss her terribly when she passes. So what do I do with him when she goes? The last thing we want is to create a bad scenario for our little boy.

A:

Your first task when an elder dies is to tell your son in a

straightforward manner that she has died.

At four years old, your son will not understand the signifi cance of death and dying and may well think that Nanny has simply gone away It is best to say that she died, not that she passed, went to a better place or has gone for a long sleep.

He may not understand the full significance of her death but eventually he will begin to appreciate its permanence.

The more honest you are with him now, the more likely he will trust and

appreciate you as his parent as he grows up.

Tell him you are sad and will miss his great-grandmother. Your sadness is his permission to also be sad.

Most of us do not enjoy watching our children struggle with sadness.

We are inclined to protect them from distressing times but it is through sadness that children develop a profound appreciation for life. It is a valuable time in their lives.

Finally, remember that when a child is introduced to death and dying, his assumption that the world

is always a safe place is challenged.

Your boy may need to be reminded that his own being is secure.

You can do this for him by continuing with routines such as regular bed, play and meal times.

The more that you are able to keep the family structure in place, the better are the odds that he will recover from his great-grandmother’s death.

t has been 19 years since I became a mother. I never thought that time would go so fast. This past year has been life changing for me and for my family as we sent our oldest child, Carter, to Australia for four months.

BACTERIAL INFECTION

Lyme disease research, diagnostic testing controversial Long-term antibiotic treatment for chronic Lyme disease is not advised

HEALTH CLINIC

A: CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

A friend said she didn’t get her diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease until she had the U.S. tests but her provincial health insurance refused to pay for them. After being on antibiotics, her symptoms subsided. She said Lyme disease is often diagnosed incorrectly as multiple sclerosis or fibromyalgia.

What is the difference between Lyme disease tests in Canada and the United States?

Who advises the provincial health ministry on what test should be used and covered?

This is a controversial issue.

Lyme disease is a potentially serious infection spread by the bite of black-legged ticks that are infected with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi.

White-tailed deer and some birds often carry these ticks. Acute infection is diagnosed by having a history of being bitten by a tick, a target-like red rash, fever and joint pain. A blood test is not necessarily required.

The condition is easily treated with a two to four week course of antibiotics, usually a variety of tetracycline.

Chronic Lyme disease is a controversial diagnosis that includes a broad array of symptoms that may or may not have any connection to the tick-born infection. Sometime this is called post–Lyme disease syndrome or chronic neurological Lyme disease syndrome.

Patients complain of relapsing and remitting non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, muscle and bone pain as well as problems with memory and concentration.

In many cases, there is no convincing scientific evidence that these illnesses have anything to do with the B. burgdorferi.

Studies have shown that most patients diagnosed with chronic neurological Lyme disease either had no objective evidence of previous or current infection with Lyme disease or were previously diagnosed but perhaps inadequately treated.

An advocacy group called the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society believes that the persistence of B. burgdorferi may be responsible for manifestations of late Lyme disease symptoms. It has questioned the methodology of some of

the research trials, as well as the reliability of the current diagnostic tests.

An additional confusing factor is that Lyme disease is often treated with minocycline and doxycycline.

These drugs have anti-inflammatory effects as well as acting as antibiotics. They have been suggested as possible off-label treatments for antiinflammatory effects specific to the inflammation caused by Lyme disease.

Minocycline has also been touted as a possible treatment for other neurological and inflammatory disorders such as MS, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis and ALS. People suffering from these diseases are desperate to find a simple solution.

The American Academy of Neurology, the Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health have advised against long-term antibiotic treatment for chronic Lyme disease, given the lack of supporting evidence and the potential toxicities of these drugs.

Ticks carrying the Lyme disease bacteria are found in areas that include parts of Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

I don’t believe there is a difference between the efficacy of the test in the U.S. or Canada. It would be up to the provincial public health agencies to advise the authorities regarding provincial cost coverage by the health care plans.

Generally, if a test or treatment is available in Canada, then the provincial plans would not reimburse the cost of having it performed in the U.S. Clare Rowson is a retired medical doctor in Belleville, Ont. Contact: health@producer.com.

There are several things to keep in mind. Take inventory of the condi-

he first two weeks in May are the optimum time to sow most vegetables because the soil has warmed up, moisture levels are

tions you have to work with and examine the garden’s exposure to the sun.

Are there parts in full sun or shaded for some of the time each day? Is there a lower part that drains more slowly than the rest of the garden? Is there protection from wind? And how much space is available for the garden or can be realistically maintained?

Plants that demand heat and sun such as peppers, squash, tomatoes and corn should be planted in full

sun. Generally plants that don’t produce fruits, such as root vegetables and brassicas, will tolerate a bit of shade along with lettuce, spinach and other salad greens.

Root vegetables generally resent wet feet, so plant them on high ground and avoid spots where water collects.

If the garden is exposed to wind, provide plants with protection by planting rows of sunflowers or corn on the windward side of the garden to offer at least some protection.

Always plant rows north-south so that the plants in every row get an opportunity to get the same amount of sun.

Tall plants will shade shorter plants in an east-west configuration.

If lack of space is a concern, use some square foot gardening techniques. Plant some of the vegetables in squares or rectangles instead of in traditional rows. Make the planting beds narrow enough so that you can reach halfway across them to weed and harvest.

Plant double and triple rows of things like onions, radish and even gladioli. Doesn’t every farm gardener include some gladioli?

Lack of space can also be handled by using vertical gardening techniques. Let peas, beans, and cucumbers climb.

If weeds have been a problem, use single rows and heavily mulch the pathways between rows with straw, grass clippings, cardboard or old carpet.

The more ground you leave bare, the more weeding you will have to do.

Don’t forget to leave space for transplants of tomato, pepper, cucumber and squash.

They should not be planted until nighttime temperatures are above 10 C. Also leave space for succession planting.

Have a second planting of peas and beans three weeks later to provide a longer season. Succession planting also works well to provide a steady supply of radish, lettuce and salad fixings.

LAND PROTECTION

HERITAGE FAIR PROJECT

Conservation easements

Student impressed with canola inventor

A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

Young fan explains how Manitoba breeder’s work has agricultural significance worldwide

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

GAIL WARTMAN, B.A., J.D.

A

conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement that allows landowners to continue to own and manage their land, but gives certain rights associated with that land to either a private organization or public agency.

It is put in place to protect and conserve a piece of land for a specific purpose such as preserving natural habitat, protecting species of animals or plants that are at risk, retaining objects or areas of geological or archeological importance or ensuring that nesting or migration areas are kept undisturbed.

The agreement is usually created through negotiation between the landowner and organization. A wide variety of organizations are conservation agencies qualified to enter into a conservation easement under the legislation of the province in which the land is situated.

Some examples are Ducks Unlimited, various levels of government, the Nature Conservancy of Canada and many archaeological societies and nature groups.

The desirability of an easement will depend on what the land has to offer by way of habitat, protection of species, migration routes and other criteria.

Each agreement is tailored to the needs of the organization and landowner but in most cases the landowner will give up the right to subdivide or develop the land and often the right to break and cultivate the land or to put up any structures on it.

The conservation easement is registered on title to the land, with the intention that it remain indefinitely.

Any future owner would acquire the land subject to that easement.

Sometimes there is a financial payment paid as a one-time payment to the land owner in exchange for the placing of the easement. It is based upon the amount of land and its conservation significance.

In some cases, the landowner gets income tax benefits. There can also be a potential increase to property value if there are a series of adjoining lands all with conservation easements upon them.

There can be negative aspects to having a conservation easement on land, including lowering the resale value. Some lenders are more cautious about lending mortgage monies on land subject to a conservation easement.

If the landowner’s proposed use of the land changes, a different use of the land may not be possible once a conservation easement is in place.

Legislation varies between provinces, but the removal of a conservation easement seldom happens.

The man might not get a lot of publicity these days, but to Winnipeg student Tom Zaburdyaev, plant breeder Baldur Stefansson seems cool.

“It’s pretty amazing,” said Zaburdyaev, a Grade 6 student, about the agricultural history he discovered when he began looking into the story of Stefansson and the creation of canola.

“I thought, how did someone ever discover canola? I thought it was an actual born plant that was just natural,” he said.

Zaburdyaev’s interest in the project arose while looking for an impressive Manitoban upon whom to focus for his school’s Heritage Fair project.

The fair is a Canadian historybased event in schools where students focus on noteworthy Canadians from the nation’s history.

Zaburdyaev was surprised with what he learned about Stefansson.

He first assumed the discovery of canola came from finding an existing plant in the wild, but then learned how Stefansson transformed the existing rapeseed plant to produce a radically different and valuable vegetable oil.

Teacher Chris Wiste said he enjoyed seeing Zaburdyaev learn about Stefansson, canola and agricultural research, because most people in Winnipeg know little about them.

“For the most part, the students that are living in an urban setting don’t really know a lot about canola,” said Wiste.

“It’s something that your parents might cook with or you might have seen at the store.”

Zaburdyaev’s project has also drawn attention to the fact that scientific innovations like the invention of canola, which is worth billions of dollars and has spread around the globe, are possible to make close to home.

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES

Pulse processor suggests focus on niche markets Focusing on increasing production rather than promoting the high quality, environmentally friendly aspects of Canadian products is a “dangerous trend”

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It’s a familiar refrain: a growing global middle class will provide a potential boon to Canadian agriculture and industry.

And Murad Al-Katib, CEO of AGT Food and Ingredients, a major buyer and processor of pulse crops, expects Western Canada to be in the game as major agricultural exporters and food companies look to capitalize on a middle class population expected to tally 4.9 billion by 2030.

“We need to be in the markets on a regular basis. We can’t be in today and gone tomorrow. It’s a race and I always say it’s not a sprint. It’s a long distance race,” Al-Katib told The Western Producer. “… If I look at Saskatchewan and really the Western Canadian presence, we have been present in China.

We have been present in India. We’ve had emerging markets as a focus in our province for a long time and it’s going to pay dividends.”

But Murad Al-Katib also wonders if the agriculture sector is positioning itself to take full advantage of opportunities in those burgeoning markets other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

“I’d like to kind of talk about what I see as a bit of slippery slope and a dangerous trend in the ag sector here,” Al-Katib told the recent Feeding the Global Middle Class conference held in Saskatoon.

“We’re focusing a lot on more production. We’re focusing more and more on moving our products to market, but we should be looking at what our market position is. Do we want to be a low-cost, fair-average quality supplier of the world or do we actually want to recognize that with this growing middle class there is a growing opportunity for higher quality, differentiated products?”

Al-Katib was part of a group of industry and government officials assembled to spitball ideas at the conference about maximizing market opportunities.

Logistics and transportation was one obstacle identified, but products must arrive in a market with bodies.

Regular visits are key to business relationships in Asia, said officials.

Then there are issues setting Canadian products apart.

In a country like Japan, Australia has become synonymous with beef and New Zealand with butter. While Canada is the king of canola, it isn’t branded as such.

Officials said efforts should focus on promoting Canada’s reliable food safety system and its production efficiency, growing a wide variety of crops with a reduced environmental footprint compared to other products.

The sector must also anticipate demands from consumers and regulators.

“One of my concerns is that as we go more towards bulk grain handling systems and we go more towards fair, average qualities, we’re actually not going to be positioned to react to things like traceability being a requirement to be in the game,” Al-Katib

told attendees. “So I’m concerned about our sector.”

Traceability was presented as no short-term trend. As millenials enter the “consumer mainstream,” more buyers will be asking where their food comes, said Al-Katib.

Chad Fleck, president of Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership agreed.

“I think there are consumers everywhere that are interested in where their food comes from …” said Fleck.

“Is there an opportunity for us as a country to get really serious and put some critical thinking around being the first movers in that space when it comes to traceability and whether we can command even a small margin in the marketplace and be less of price taker and more of a price setter because we differentiated on that basis?” said Fleck.

Simon Tucker, New Zealand High Commissioner to Canada, said his country received some pushback

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Fou n d at i o n ) — T h e re w i l l b e enough water to produce food for 10 billion people in 2050, but overconsumption and the impact of climate change threaten food security and water supplies in many regions, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said on Tuesday.

By 2050, some 60 percent more food will be needed to feed the world’s people and as farming remains the largest user of water, food must be produced sustainably to ensure future supplies of food and water, the FAO and the World Water Council (WWC) said in a joint report.

“In an era of accelerated changes

unparalleled ... in our past, our ability to provide adequate, safe and nutritious food sustainably and equitably is more relevant than ever,” Maria Helena Semedo, FAO Deputy Director-General Natural Resources, said in a statement accompanying the report.

“Water, as an irreplaceable element of achieving this end, is already under pressure by increasing demands from other uses, exacerbated by weak governance, inadequate capacities, and under-investment.”

Water scarcity already affects more than 40 percent of the world’s population, largely because too much

water is used to produce food.

Excessive use and pollution of water resources in key food producing regions are threatening the sustainability of jobs that depend on water and agriculture, the report said.

“Agriculture has to follow the path of sustainability and not the one of immediate profitability,” said Benedito Braga, president of the WWC, an international think-tank.

DISEASE SURVEY

Wet conditions blamed for more embellisia skin blotch on garlic

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The last few relatively wet years in Alberta may have increased disease prevalence in garlic plantings.

Several market gardeners that grow garlic have reported blackening of the outer sheath on garlic bulbs.

Plant pathologist Michael Harding of Alberta Agriculture said that could be a symptom of embellisia skin blotch, although that is not the most common disease affecting garlic.

“We’ve had a garlic and onion disease survey in the last couple of years in Alberta and we’ve found that fusarium, there’s a rot of the bulb, usually starting on the basal plate of the bulb… that’s the most commonly occurring disease on garlic and onion,” said Harding.

Embellisia has only been noticed in the last few years, identified by darkening of the outer skin and blotching on the bulb.

“Sometimes it doesn’t show up until after harvest. It’s typically

noticed as a post-harvest disease more than it’s noticed in the field, so that’s been increasingly common in Alberta,” said Harding. “Up until a few years ago, I’d never heard of that as being a real garlic issue here, but it seems to be becoming that.”

The fungus causing embellisia overwinters in the plant debris, soil and infected cloves, so crop rotation is key to control, Harding said.

“We’ve been in a wetter trend, so some of these diseases that we wouldn’t normally see have kind of

ramped up on us.”

Embellisia doesn’t affect garlic quality. Affected layers can be peeled off because the fungus doesn’t normally penetrate into the bulb.

Garlic that shows any signs of blackening or blotching should not be stored with disease-free bulbs. All garlic should be stored in breathable material at low humidity.

Fusarium basal plate rot, which is the more common disease seen in garlic and onions, is also best controlled through crop rotation,

although Harding acknowledged options might be limited for market gardeners with small acreage.

As the name indicates, basal plate rot attacks the base and roots of garlic bulbs, resulting in useless, tancoloured roots.

The plant’s base may develop a pinkish-brow n grow th. Above ground, affected garlic has yellowing leaf tips and shoots die back in spring. barb.glen@producer.com

“Fababeans and soybeans is where we’re going to see some more investment.”

Pulse crops account for 14 percent of Saskatchewan’s seeded acreage.

The hope is to grow that to 25 percent by having at least one viable pulse crop option for every acre of Saskatchewan farmland.

Potts said fababeans and soybeans will go a long way towards addressing shortcomings in the northeast and southeast regions of the province.

He believes there could be 500,000 acres of fababeans grown in the province in the next five to seven years.

Potts didn’t have an estimate for soybeans but companies like Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer have ambitious plans for the crop.

The association intends to in-

crease investment in fababean breeding programs and agronomy research. There will also be money spent on market development and providing marketing information to growers.

For soybeans, the emphasis will be on agronomy research because seed technology companies already have extensive breeding programs. The association has already committed $350,000 to soybean agronomy projects.

Potts said there will also be some funding for exploratory research to determine what could be the next big pulse crop for the province.

“It might be lupins. It might be mung beans. It might be other sorts of pulse crops,” he said.

Potts said it is important to have a long-term outlook for the sector because 20 years ago nobody thought Saskatchewan would be producing half of the world’s red lentils.

Developing new crop options is one of four pillars in the new strategic plan. The other three are unlocking yield potential, expanding demand and improving market access.

A top priority for the yield pillar is to develop additional herbicide toler-

$350,000 TO SOYBEAN AGRONOMY PROJECTS ant platforms to augment the Clearfield platform.

It is estimated that 80 to 90 percent of red lentil production is Clearfield varieties, which are tolerant to Group 2 herbicides.

Potts said researchers are working on discovering naturally occurring resistance to other herbicides, such as Group 14 herbicides.

There will also be continued funding for building disease resistance into new varieties.

“I think they’ve come a long way in breeding disease resistance into chickpea varieties,” he said.

New chickpea varieties only re-

quire two fungicide treatments during the growing season rather than multiple applications.

The focus for the demand pillar will be working with global food companies to expand utilization of pulsebased food ingredients.

“Interestingly, food companies talk to us and they say, ‘You don’t need to sell us on the health and nutrition benefits of pulses. We’re there. But we need to find ways to be able to increase our utilization in food products,’ ” said Potts.

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers will fund technical work on improving the functionality and flavour of pulse-based products and will keep food companies abreast of work going on at the Canadian International Grains Institute and the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre. sean.pratt@producer.com

2016 INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF PULSES CAMPAIGN Market access will continue to be a priority because 91 percent of Canada’s yellow peas are exported to three countries — India, China and Bangladesh, while 86 percent of its red lentils are shipped to five countries — India, Egypt, Turkey, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Carl Potts said those markets need to remain free of import duties and nontariff barriers such as trade-restricting maximum residue limits.

The association will provide funding to Pulse Canada to work on improving market access and on improving the efficiency of Canada’s transportation system.

Potts said diversifying into the food ingredient business will help Canada reduce its reliance on a few pricesensitive export markets that consume mostly whole or split products.

MANE EVENT

Steer horns into horse territory as it dons harness and saddle Holstein’s calm demeanor allows ‘cow’ girl to entertain crowds at Alberta horse show

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER, Alta. — A laid back personality gave Dozer, a Holstein steer, a new career.

Originally destined for the feedlot, the animal’s quiet and friendly personality has seen it transformed into a show steer.

With less than 15 rides on Dozer, Katie Connolley of Onoway, Alta., rode the three-year-old Holstein into the arena at the Mane Event horse show without a worry.

The Red Deer, Alta., event ran April 24-26.

“It’s his first time off the farm. He is very calm,” said Connolley as she waited to enter the show ring.

Connolley said she taught Dozer to lead in five minutes, then tossed on a saddle for a funny picture.

When he took the saddle well, she climbed on and was lead around the farm.

“I didn’t start with any goals,” said Connolley about her plans for Dozer.

When Mane Event organizers learned about Dozer, they asked her to come and be part of the event. mary.macarthur@producer.com

CONSERVATION

B.C. invests in water management, sustainability Industrial groundwater well users, which includes agriculture, must have wells inspected and apply for a licence

BY TOM WALKER FREELANCE WRITER

KELOWNA, B.C. — British Columbia’s plan to inject $25 million in a new Water Sustainability Act over the next three years is drawing praise from farmers “I’m quite pleased to see that the government has put $25 million into implementing the act,” said Lorne Hunter, chair of the B.C. Agriculture Council’s water committee.

“You can’t manage what you don’t know,” he said. “The province has a long ways to go to understand B.C. water.”

The Water Sustainability Act (WSA) comes into effect in 2016 and is expected to license and manage groundwater wells for the first time.

The new act will also require consideration of water in land-use decisions, regulate water use in times of scarcity and measure and report large scale water use.

Domestic well water users are encouraged to apply for a licence, but it is not mandatory and there will be no charge. However, industrial users including agriculture, must register.

The B.C. Ministry of Environment (MoE) estimates there are 20,000 wells in the province. Each one will be inspected and registered in a new data base. It will require the province to hire more hydrologists and pay for added training for staff.

“I don’t think they have any idea how many of us are into the water,” said Hunter. “Twenty-five million may not be enough.”

B.C. Cattleman’s Association general manager Kevin Boon, said he is

”very happy with the process to get the act written.” He added that after six years the association is still part of the consultations.

“I think the government recognizes the importance of getting this right.

The devil is in the regulations.”

A lot of work remains in the implementation of the act, but some initiatives are underway.

A water fee and rental schedule is the first such regulation. Costs for irrigation are set at 85 cents per 1,000 cubic metres (the equivalent of one million litres), and a minimum of $50.

Examples developed by the MoE predict that the cost of water to irrigate a 40 acre forage crop in Kamloops will increase to $128 from $90.

Hunter, a north Okanagan dairy farmer, draws his water from an aquifer for free. He said his costs under the new licence won’t be significant.

“What the licence does is guarantee me a right and security under the FITFIR (first-in-time, first-in-right) clause as opposed to just being the biggest pump in the hole,” said Hunter.

Boon said that FITFR was important to the cattlemen.

“We have some of the oldest water licences in the province, including one that goes back to 1856.”

The act has an increased emphasis on “environmental flows”, minimum water levels that are essential to protecting fish habitat.

Boon acknowledges that fish could trump irrigation in times of low water supply.

“We could lose water for hay, but not for our animals,” he said.

B.C. farmers are wondering if that may happen this summer, as early warm temperatures have made it

“the warmest January to March in 68 years of record keeping,” according to David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada.

“Precipitation was (somewhat) down from January to March,” said Phillips. “But the problem is the lack of snow pack.”

Low snow levels may not refill provincial reservoirs, making June rains across B.C., more important. The B.C. River Forecast Centre website describes it as “the second lowest provincial average snow level equivalent in the past 31 years of record.”

WHEAT EXPORTS

Russia to decide on tax removal MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) — Russia, one of the world’s major wheat exporters, plans to make a decision on removing a tax on wheat exports by mid-May, said deputy prime minister Arkady Dvorkovich.

The government initially imposed the tax from Feb. 1 until June 30 to cool domestic prices and food inflation after the ruble tumbled late last year.

“We are aiming to ensure that the duty ceases to work in its current form in the very near future as there is no need to keep it under current market conditions,” Dvorkovich said.

“The duty on grain in its current state may be cancelled even earlier than July 1,” Dvorkovich said.

Later, he said the duty level would be changed to “close to zero or to zero”.

Dvorkovich said he had asked Russia’s agriculture ministry to submit proposals so it could decide soon , but it would also be able to impose export duties quickly if needed.

Russia is not considering for now removing fully its ban on most Western food imports, set in August for one year, but it is considering easing measures for selective countries and products.

POULTRY PROCESSING

No human antibiotics in chicken by 2017: Tyson The company says it will do its best to meet the withdrawal timeline without jeopardizing animal well-being CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. poultry producer, plans to eliminate the use of human antibiotics in its chicken flocks by September 2017 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one of the most aggressive timelines yet set by an American poultry company.

The Arkansas-based chicken and meat giant also said it is working on ways to curtail such on-farm drug practices at its other protein businesses, which include pork and beef.

The move marks the latest push by the livestock and food industries to

reduce the use of antibiotics crucial to human health in meat production.

Authorities are concerned that the routine feeding of antibiotics to animals could spur the creation of antib i o t i c re s i s t a n t s u p e r b u g s i n humans, creating a health hazard.

Tysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move aims to help the company meet a deadline recently outlined by McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corp. to have its U.S. restaurants gradually stop buying chicken raised with human antibiotics over the next two years.

But the company, a key chicken

supplier to McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, said in a statement that its plans are part of an ongoing effort and â&#x20AC;&#x153;go beyond one customer.â&#x20AC;?

Tyson said it is also forming working groups with independent farmers, company suppliers, veterinarians and others to talk about how to develop ideas to cut the use of antibiotics vital to fighting human infections in its U.S. beef, pork and turkey supply chains.

The working groups will begin meeting this summer.

is legal, controversy has grown over the routine feeding of antibiotics that are important to humans to otherwise healthy chicken, cattle and pigs in a bid to stave off disease and help the animals grow more quickly.

Tyson said it has already stopped using all antibiotics in its 35 broiler hatcheries and has cut human antibiotics used to treat its broiler chickens by more than 80 percent since 2011.

The company said it requires a veterinary prescription when antibiot-

Donnie Smith, president and chief executive of Tyson Foods, said in a statement.

Earlier this month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Pilgrimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pride Corp., the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest U.S. poultry processor, would cut all antibiotics from a quarter of its chicken production by 2019.

Rival poultry processor Perdue Farms Inc. told Reuters more than 95 percent of the chickens it produces are raised without antibiotics approved for human use, and more than half are raised with no antibiotics of any kind.

Sandwich chain Chick-fil-A in 2014 gave its producers five years to meet its commitment to go antibiotic-free for chicken. Perdue is a major supplier to Chick-fil-A. Tyson has been working with livestock drug companies and others to test alternatives to antibiotics to protect birds, ranging from probiotics to essential oils derived from plant extracts.

However, alternatives to human antibiotics are also needed for treating ill birds, the company said. It is providing funds to help accelerate research into disease prevention and antibiotic alternatives to be used on farms.

Tyson declined to say how much the company will spend to back such funding of livestock pharmaceuticals and alternatives.

Some poultry industry experts say the options for non-human drugs to treat certain diseases in broiler chickens can be limited, and say animal pharmaceutical firms have been slow to invest for the development of new chicken-only antibiotics.

Tyson said it plans to meet its 2017 antibiotic-withdrawal timeline, but there could be some exceptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jeopardize animal wellbeing just to get there,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use the best available treatments to keep our chickens healthy, under veterinary supervision.â&#x20AC;?

GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Global goods trade will grow by 3.3 percent this year and by four percent in 2016, less than previously forecast, mainly due to sluggish economic growth, the World Trade Organization said.

The WTO figures are based on economic growth estimates from organizations including the International Monetary Fund.

Although the forecasts do suggest some modest growth in world goods trade, they follow repeated downward revisions of trade forecasts as the economic outlook worsened.

Trade grew by 2.8 percent in 2014, far less than an original forecast of 4.7 percent. The new expectation of 3.3 percent growth this year, revised down from 5.3 percent is far below the long-term trend.

BIOTECHNOLOGY APPROVAL

EU approves more GM imports but allows members to opt out

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The European Union recently delivered what Canada’s grain and oilseed sector views as a good newsbad news announcement on biotechnology approvals.

The good news for Canadian farmers is that the EU finally approved 10 new traits for import and renewed seven others.

The approvals were the first since November, 2013. The traits had been pending for 69 months on average.

Another 40 GM applications for import have yet to receive approval.

The bad news is that the EU introduced a new proposal that would allow member states to opt out from the Europe-wide approval process in the future.

Jim Everson, executive director of Soy Canada, said approval of the new traits had been held up by six-month long review of the GM approval process launched by the new president of the European Commission.

“During that period of time all those approvals were put on hold, so they kind of started to accumulate.”

The 10 new authorizations include one canola, one corn, three cotton, and five soybean traits. They add to the 58 GM traits already approved in the EU. There isn’t much of a market for GM food crops in the EU but there is substantial demand for GM feed crops. More than 60 percent of the vegetable protein fed to EU cattle comes from soybeans and soy meal imported from countries where GM crop cultivation is widespread.

“Any time that there is some new innovation that’s approved in our major markets that’s a good thing for Canadian producers and industry,” said Everson.

There are four traits that should have appeal with Canadian soybean growers : Monsanto’s Omega 3, dicamba tolerant and high oleic traits and DuPont Pioneer’s high oleic trait.

The Commission also approved Monsanto’s TruFlex Roundup Ready canola, which will provide growers with better weed control and a wider window of application.

Monsanto is still awaiting Chinese approval of the new canola trait.

Once that happens the product will be commercialized in Canada.

Monsanto and DuPont had been awaiting EU approval of their high oleic soybean traits. The U.S. soybean industry is keen to start competing with Canada’s high oleic canola.

“The European Commission’s approval of the Plenish high oleic trait marks an important step forward in the full commercialization of Plenish high oleic soybeans,” DuPont said in a press release.

A spokesperson for the company said DuPont still requires EU approval of the stacked product, which is the Plenish trait plus the glyphosate tolerance trait, before it can scale up acres.

That is expected by the end of 2015, paving the way for full commercialization in 2016.

But it wasn’t all good news. Everson is concerned about the commission’s proposal to allow member states to opt out of EU approvals.

“When we negotiated the Canada/ European free trade agreement we were negotiating with a single market of 500 million people,” he said.

“What the European Union is saying here is that in this particular instance you’re not talking about the whole market anymore.”

PED UPDATE

Hog virus under control

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia remain free of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and Manitoba has contained spread from its five sites.

A generally warm, dry spring, combined with producers’ attention to biosecurity, is responsible for that good news on the hog disease front, said Alberta Agriculture veterinary epidemiologist Dr. Julia Keenliside.

In an April 30 conference call organized by Alberta Pork, Keenliside said testing for the virus continues at truck washes, abattoirs and assembly yards and there were no positives found in April.

Across Canada, PED did spread in Ontario and Quebec. One new case was reported in Perth County on April 15 and two others were con-

firmed in March. In total, Ontario has confirmed 79 cases since PED was first found in Canada in January 2014. Quebec’s most recent case was confirmed April 22, bringing its total to 13.

Swine veterinarian Dr. Egan Brockhoff said there was a spike in cases after Christmas but that has since slowed.

That is also the case in the United States, where thousands of barns and millions of pigs have been affected.

Though the number of infected premises continues to grow in the U.S., he said, it has slowed due to improved biosecurity and increased immunity through vaccination and herd exposure to the virus.

PED virus is generally fatal to young piglets, which die of dehydration and malnutrition. The disease presents no risk to humans or to food quality. barb.glen@producer.com

HANDS-ON TRAINING

Rancher says finding mentor key to achieving goals Program links experienced operator with young farmer to offer ideas and techniques

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Brett McRae says he is already realizing the benefits from the Cattleman’s Young Leaders Program. | MELISSA MCRAE/PRAIRIE PISTOL DESIGNS PHOTO

The advice of a mentor is already paying off for a young Manitoba rancher.

Brett McRae, was one of 16 individuals selected to participate in the Cattleman’s Young Leaders program last year.

“It was the point in my career I was at,” said McRae of the program run by the Canadian Cattleman’s Association.

McRae, 28, operates his farm alongside his father’s operation, just

southwest of Brandon, Man. “We’ve been farming there for over 100 years,” said McRae. “It’s a purebred Simmental and Angus operation. We run approximately 200 head purebred cattle and just shy of 1,000 acres of grain land.”

McRae was paired up with mentor Steve Kenyon of Greener Pastures Ranching in Busby, Alta.

Kenyon operates a custom-grazing operation and McRae was able to visit and learn about Kenyon’s operation.

“He runs over 3,000 acres and over 1,200 head,” said McRae, noting that

Kenyon does not own a single cow or acre.

“I went through the mentorship over the last year and now I’ve technically graduated,” said McRae. “Our mentorship still goes on, but my official time as a CYL is more or less over.”

McRae worked with Kenyon to identify goals and create a plan to achieve them. His objectives were to find out how to be profitable and how to improve his summer and winter grazing management. “(Kenyon is) very good at the economic and finance side of ranching,” said McRae. “He knows his numbers and grazing management very well.

“Steve’s ranch is in no way similar to mine, but he is and has been a perfect mentor.

“Our mentorship has just started.

The first year is all about creating the relationship and now we can continue from there. We still talk and text all the time. We will probably call once every six weeks and text each week.

“He’s a very outside-the-box thinker and is not afraid to try something new and crazy, finding out if it works.

He is also able to tell you, financially, as well as ecologically, why it works or doesn’t work.”

One change McRae has implemented already is full-on bale grazing.

“We hadn’t really, truly bale grazed before. And this year, we did and it worked. We are both (McRae and his dad) very happy with it.”

McRae acknowledged a mild winter didn’t hurt the trial.

“It helped a little bit, but I think it would work in a normal winter as well,” he said.

“Last year was about learning. This will be my year of taking that info and applying it. I’ve tried a little bit of intensive grazing last year, and this year I’m going to be doing a lot more cross fencing and intensive management — intensely grazed instead of rotationally grazed.”

McRae would also like to develop part of his operation into a custom-grazing operation, but understands that the higher cost of land where he far ms presents a big challenge.

“I’d love to do it. It looks pretty fun,” said McRae. “The way (Kenyon) has it set up, it works very well for him, but it’s not something that fits into my operation right now.

“I’ve learned a lot of basics of making gross margin analysis and making economic and financial decisions. Now it’s a matter of honing my skills and getting to practise it and getting better. Same goes with the grazing techniques. I’ve learned new ideas and stuff, now I just have to implement them and put them into practice.”

McRae said the CYL program has positioned him further ahead in his career than he would’ve been otherwise.

Much of this, he said, is due to “the people I’ve met in the last year and the amount of stuff I’ve learned.”

“I’m by no means done learning, but it’s put me that much further ahead.” he said.

“It’s been a very busy year.”

AGRI-TECH EXPO

Zambian women empowered through programs, technology African agricultural event gives women information and leadership skills

BY MARIANNE STAMM FREELANCE WRITER

Luskaka, Zambia Toting bags of information pamphlets and seed packets, Suzen and Mary Mungulube leave the Zambian Agri-tech Expo grounds full of excitement.

“We’ve learned so much,” Suzen said.

Shy, Mary just nods.

The two African village farmers, who rarely travel beyond their nearest small town, were sponsored to attend the biggest agriculture event in this part of Africa, held April 16-18 at Golden Valley Research Center near Lusaka, Zambia.

They returned home with a host of new ideas for their small farms.

This is the response that Evelyn Nguleka, president of the Zambian National Farmers Union wants to hear.

“Let this not be a show,” she said, but a place where people can interact, sit down and discuss with the exhibitors and research staff.

Benjamin Jones, marketing manager of Spintelligent, which organized the exhibition has high hopes for the expo.

“Agri-Tech is out to change agriculture in Zambia.”

Besides hosting machinery dealers such as John Deere and Claas, which cater to large commercial farmers, Agri-Tech also seeks to expose smallscale and emerging farmers to mechanization options, chemicals and fertilizers.

“There is so much potential in Zambia,” Jones said.

A good part of that potential lies with women.

“Research shows that women do 60 to 70 percent of the farm work in Zambia, but when it comes to marketing, the men take over,” Nguleka said.

The money goes in the men’s pockets and the women lose out.

The farmers union is working to change that through policy and programs targeting and empowering female farmers.

Technology is helping their cause.

Almost every person in Zambia owns a cellphone, and receiving is free.

The farmers union sends regular text messages with marketing information and up-to-date prices.

The information allows women to do the marketing and make informed business decisions.

Money in the hands of women is much more likely to be used for family needs such as food, medical care and school fees.

Last September, the farmers union introduced the pre-paid Visa card program. Women hold 31 percent of the cards, according to the Post newspaper.

Almost all money transactions done by small farmers are currently in cash, but cash is prone to be spent if on hand and is susceptible to corruption.

When payment for commodities goes directly to the card, it helps farmers develop a culture of saving, which was lacking until now. The

card is also used to pay buyers for their inputs and makes money safer for farmers and suppliers.

Women have a strong presence on the ground in Zambia, but they are almost non-existent in leadership and policy-making positions.

Women’s forums are an attempt by the farmers union to attract and develop female leaders.

The third forum was held in Lusaka

in October.

For Nguleka, her efforts are rewarded when she travels to remote villages and hears women saying, “I might not be driving a car but trust me, I am not starving and I am paying my school fees and my medical bills.”

Added Nguleka: “If we can even double what we are doing now, we can make a difference.”

GREENHOUSE GAS

Study zeros in on nitrous oxide emissions from soil

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Calculating greenhouse gas emissions from all the vehicles in Canada is a simple task: take the number of cars and trucks in Canada and multiply that figure by the average emission per vehicle.

Calculating emissions from agriculture is not so easy.

“When (we) talk about greenhouse gas emissions in Canada, the sector that has the most uncertainty of emissions is agriculture…. The uncertainty is like plus or minus 40 percent,” said Mario Tenuta, a University of Manitoba soil scientist.

“We know the emissions from the oil and gas (sector). We know emissions from industry. It’s the emissions from soil that we don’t (know) because we have few studies.”

Tenuta, who runs the soil ecology laboratory at the U of M, is leading several studies to get a better handle on greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural cropland in Canada.

Tenuta is particularly interested in nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soil.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says agricultural soil contributed 74 percent of that country’s total N2O emissions in 2013. The percentage is likely similar in Canada, which is why provincial and federal governments want to identify the best agricultural practices to mitigate N2O emissions.

“Policy-makers are very interested in this work because very little of it has been done,” said Tenuta, who spoke at a U of M faculty of agriculture seminar in April.

“We need as many studies as possible… so we have confidence in (the results)…. You don’t want to develop policy on one study. Need multiple studies, over multiple years in different weather conditions” Tenuta is focusing his research on fertilizer because increased use of nitrogen fertilizer is driving greenhouse gas emissions higher.

“If you look at (Canadian) agriculture as a whole, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, it went up nine mega-tonnes (from 1990-2012),” he said.

“The increase has been seven mega-tonnes of CO2 equivalent from synthetic fertilizer N20…. That means fertilizer use is (responsible) for about 80 percent of the increase in greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the last 22 years.”

Statistics Canada data indicates that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used in Canada doubled from 1981-2011. Tenuta said there is a linear relationship between the greater use of nitrogen fertilizer and the rise in N2O emissions from soil in Canada.

The trend is worrisome because nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas. Climate Change Connection, a Manitoba Eco-Network program, says the global warming potential of N2O is 298 times greater than carbon dioxide.

Based on research conducted at the U of M Glenlea Research Station and other locations, Tenuta has discovered that N2O emissions peak at certain times in the spring — during the thaw period and following a spring rain.

Enhanced efficiency fertilizers,

such as ESN, can reduce the severity of emission spikes after a spring rain and decrease the amount of nitrous oxide released from the soil.

“We’re starting with this hypothesis that the rate of nitrification, as it increases, increases the N2O emissions,” Tenuta said.

“That ESN, with the polymer coating, slowed down the release of the nitrogen and, as a result, we had less N2O.” Tenuta’s data shows that the benefits of enhanced efficiency fertilizers, or practices like fertilizer banding, are minimal in dry years.

“We (might) have 60 to 70 percent (emission) reductions in one year,

GREENHOUSE GAS CONTRIBUTORS Climatechangeconnection.org, a Manitoba Eco Network website, says 64 percent of the greenhouse gases from the province’s agricultural sector came from soils.

Enteric fermentation, or methane from cows, was 26 percent.

Manure management was 10 percent. another year might be nothing,” he said. “Usually when we find there is no effect of the management practice in reducing N2O emissions, that was

a low year in general for emissions because it was too dry.”

Tenuta and his colleagues are also studying fall application of nitrogen compared to spring application.

Fall application can increase N2O emissions during the thaw period, but emissions following a spring rain were minimal.

“The fall application didn’t seem to be that bad in terms of N2O emissions. If anything… it’s much lower.”

Tenuta also wants to study the combination of late fall application and the use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers.

“What we don’t know now is if we used more efficient fertilizers, or

these intelligent fertilizers, what they would do with the thaw emissions?”

Tenuta’s research may be interesting to Canadian policy-makers, but identifying practices that mitigate emissions could have global implications.

North American farmers use an immense amount of nitrogen fertilizer, but the growth is small relative to places like China, Tenuta said.

“The majority of fertilizer use increase in the world is in China and Asia,” he said. “China is like 45 percent of the increase in (global) demand.” robert.arnason@producer.com

BRAZILIAN MEAT PACKER

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT

JBS to tap benefits from acquisitions CEO says one focus will be growth in Australia, where it purchased Grupo Primo Smallgoods SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Brazilian meat packer JBS will have sufficient cash flow in 2015 to bankroll potential acquisitions, says chief executive officer Wesley Batista.

However, for the time being the company plans to focus on consolidating gains from recent takeovers.

In late March, JBS completed the US$1.125 billion buyout of Australian meat company Grupo Primo Smallgoods, which will give it a base to boost sales in the Asia-Pacific region.

Batista said the company has no

plans “to establish operations” in Asia, and instead will focus on organic growth in South America, North America and Australia.

He also ruled out issuing new shares in the U.S. and Brazilian markets for the near future.

Pessimism about economic growth in Brazil has intensified in the past months, but Batista said it had not been reflected in the company’s domestic sales.

However, he said a recovery in the company’s export of Brazilian beef is not likely this year.

WESLEY BATISTA JBS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“The greatest pressure over margins have come from the drop in exports, especially to Russia and Venezuela, due to the drop in oil prices and the devaluation of their curren-

cies,” Batista said.

However, he said local beef demand and prices are expected to remain firm in the near term because of tight live cattle supplies.

JBS, which was founded in Brazil’s interior west-central farm belt, has become the world’s largest beef exporter over the past decade.

The company has also expanded into poultry and pork production with the help of acquisitions in the United States and Australia and financing from Brazil’s BNDES national development bank.

Chinese firm ranks high on drone approval list Almost half the companies allowed to use drones have chosen DJI Technology Co. Ltd. WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) — Chinese drone maker SZ DJI Technology Co. Ltd. has established a strong early lead in the U.S. commercial market as companies turn to its inexpensive, light-weight flying devices for a host of uses from shooting films to mapping and site inspections.

Sixty-one of the 129 companies that received regulatory approval to use unmanned aircraft are using DJI drones, or 47 percent, far ahead of its nearest rival, a Reuters review of federal records as of April 9 shows.

Nearly 400 other companies, more than half of the 695 businesses still awaiting approval, have applied to use DJI drones.

Shenzhen-based DJI, whose bestselling Phantom 2 Vision+ drone retails for around US$1,200 in the United States, estimates that it already has about 70 percent of the commercial market worldwide and a larger portion of the consumer market.

Federal records also suggest that DJI is quickly expanding its U.S. market share, thanks in part to a new process speeding federal exemptions for companies that intend to use drones previously vetted by regulators.

DJI accounted for about a third of the roughly 50 exemptions granted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from last September through mid-March. But it has claimed just over half of the 89 exemptions received since then.

Industry experts say basic drones such as DJI’s are likely to drive the U.S. commercial market for the foreseeable future, meeting business demand for uses such as aerial photography for site inspections, real estate promotions and video production.

The market for more sophisticated unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly used in agriculture, is being limited by FAA policy that restricts commercial drone flights to line-of-sight operations at altitudes of 500 feet (152 meters) or less. Those rules are complicating efforts by e-commerce giants Amazon.com and Google Inc. to develop high-tech drones capable of delivering packages over long distances.

“Those limitations effectively rule out larger UAVs, which are not going to be cost-effective with that sort of restriction,” said Philip Finnegan, the Teal Group’s director of corporate analysis. “It’s really going to drive things toward the low end of the market.”

The Teal Group expects the U.S. market for commercial drones to reach $5.4 billion in sales by 2023.

VETERINARY ANTIMICROBIALS

Vets to oversee livestock drug use

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Increased veterinary oversight on use of antimicrobials in livestock is a key part of Health Canada’s plan to combat development of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

What that means has yet to be determined but the Canadian Animal Health Institute does not expect it to overtax veterinary resources.

CAHI president Jean Szkotnicki said Health Canada’s letter of intent calls for development of “a pragmatic approach” to increased veterinary involvement in use of antibiotics in livestock.

“I think we can do that through what we’re calling a veterinary authorization approach,” said Szkotnicki.

That could involve the use of electronic signatures by veterinarians on prescription drugs for livestock.

Still to be determined are methods of veterinary authorization for medicated ingredients in feeds that are prepared and mixed at feed mills.

Szkotnicki said CAHI is researching electronic tools with which veterinarians could access the various warnings and cautions associated with feed-delivered medications, and send those along with their authorizations directly to feed mills.

“There are pragmatic approaches and I think the industry across the board is really welcoming being able to sit down and work on this,” she said.

Rob McNabb, general manager for the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, doesn’t think additional veterinary oversight will present challenges unless final regulations result in the need for veterinarians to actually administer prescription drugs. He said that would not be practical in large livestock operations.

However, that is not considered to be a likely scenario.

As for Health Canada’s concerns about the use of medically important drugs for livestock, McNabb said it is unlikely to affect availability of treatments.

“For us in the cattle industry, medications in feeds, 90 percent of it is ionophores and they’re not on the list of medically important products.”

Health Canada announced April 17 that it plans to propose new measures “to encourage prudent use of antimicrobial drugs used in foodproducing animals, particularly drugs that are considered medically important.” barb.glen@producer.com

FAMILY FARM CREDIT ACT

Sask. repeals 1979 act created to lend money to farmers The legislation, brought in by premier Tommy Douglas in 1955, lent farmers $7 million by 1967 but it is no longer required

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan legislature last week agreed to repeal a decades-old piece of legislation that made credit available to farmers.

The Family Farm Credit Act was enacted in February 1979 to update a 1959 act and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been used for years.

Agriculture minister Lyle Stewart noted during debate on the bill to repeal the act that the last loan payments had come due in 1994.

He said the original purpose of the act was to make long-term credit available to establish and develop family farms and help intergenerational transfer.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the time, the act enabled Cooperative Trust Company of Canada, or CTCC, to make loans to farmers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also enabled CTCC to issue securities and raise money to lend to farmers. Furthermore, the ministry of finance was able to purchase and guarantee those securities under this act.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart said there hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been securities under the act for years.

He also said CTCC is now Concentra Trust and Concentra Financial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No other associated agencies exist under this act and loan guarantees have not been offered for many years,â&#x20AC;? he said.

T h e ma x i mu m ava i la ble w a s $25,000.

NDP agr iculture cr itic Cathy

Sproule, along with others who spoke to the bill, agreed that repealing the legislation would have no impact on farmers.

But she noted premier Tommy Douglas moved the original legislation as a result of the 1955 Royal Commission on Agriculture.

The commission believed the federal government should supply agricultural credit, but in the absence of that, it was determined that credit unions should lend to farmers, Sproule said.

A federal report from 1967 says more than $7 million had been loaned under the act by that time.

Farm Credit Canada, then known as Farm Credit Corporation, was also formed in 1959.

John Nilson, ML A for Regina Lakeview, noted the long name of the 1979 act was An Act to Provide Assistance to Farmers in the Establishment and Development of Family Farms as Economic Farm Units.

At that time it was difficult to borrow money, programs had been implemented to help beef producers feed cattle during the winter and interest rates were climbing, he said.

The money obtained through CTCC loans could be used to buy land, repair or build farm buildings, buy livestock and pay off mortgages.

Originally, the departments of co-

operation and co-operative development administered the legislation. It later moved to consumer and commercial affairs, then justice and then agriculture in 2007-8.

Sproule said governments have clearly over time acted to help farmers and should continue to do so.

The role of government is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make sure communities stay strong and viable and that farmers are supported,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The repeal act received third reading April 29 and awaits royal assent. karen.briere@producer.com

or Leo Meyer, writing the mission statement for a farm group is a simple task. Farm organizations, in his mind, exist for one reason: to serve the interests of producers.

“Whoever… is engaged with a farm organization, they need to realize that their constituency is the farmer,” said Meyer, who farms in the Peace River region of Alberta and is a Grain Growers of Canada director.

Cereals Canada, a group trying to link farmers, grain handling companies and life science corporations, has become symbolic for these new networks.

monopoly on wheat and barley has ended, Meyer said the need for an agency to serve farmers is more important than ever.

When the CWB was a government agency, it operated as more than just a grain dealer. It lobbied on behalf of farmers to the federal government and to other businesses.

To fill the gap created when the CWB’s role changed, new cereal crop commissions and associations on the Prairies built alliances with the various players in grain industry.

Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said the organization aims to

smooth the way for communication between farm groups, grain companies and life science corporations, to help develop a united strategy.

“The goal is to increase the profitability of the entire industry…. That’s not going to be accomplished by (just) one part of the value chain.”

If Canada’s cereal sector is going to evolve and expand, it needs a group that can identify priorities and speak on behalf of the whole industry, Dahl said.

Some farm groups, like Sask Wheat, are pushing back. They haven’t joined Cereals Canada because they are determined to remain independent.

Meyer said it’s fine for all parties to work together to advance a particular cause like the cereal crop sector, but farm group leaders also should realize it is a fine line between collaborating with large corporations and being captive to their interests.

As an example, international grain merchants recently raised alarms about the declining quality of Canadian wheat, saying customers are dissatisfied and want to buy wheat from other countries.

However, few farm groups have publicly expressed concerns about the situation. If producer organizations are unwilling or unable to speak openly about a threat to Canada’s reputation, farmers will suffer the consequences, said Meyer, who is also president of the Alberta Oats, Rye and Triticale Association.

“There are people in the world, who buy millions of tonnes of grain, who say Canada isn’t the number one choice for quality supply for wheat.

This is serious.”

The founding directors of Cereals Canada, including Richardson International executive Jean Marc Ruest, decided three sectors would have a similar say in the organization: producer groups, grain companies and life science/seed companies.

Dahl said the configuration ensures that Cereals Canada represents the entire value chain.

Several groups accepted the conditions and signed on. But the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission has refused, and Saskatchewan grows about 50 percent of the wheat acres in the country.

Gehl said Sask. Wheat will co-operate with wheat commissions and associations in other provinces, but he’s not sure that Sask. Wheat can collaborate with grain elevator companies and also fully represent farmer interests.

He said his organization agrees with other players in the industry far more often than it disagrees, but when it comes down to fundamental

During the grain shipping crisis of 2014, dozens of vessels were lined up outside the Port of Vancouver, railways struggled to move a record crop to port and cash bids plummeted at prairie elevators. Despite the crisis, a few farm groups said little to nothing publicly about the calamity, Meyer said.

“When you had a completely collapsing wheat market… you would expect that a wheat commission in a province would specifically stand up,” said Meyer. “We saw that much more vigorously happen in Saskatchewan. They more independently and properly represented (farmers) than, in my view, we saw in Alberta.”

He added the silence was unacceptable because Western Canadian farmers lost billions in 2013-14.

“When farmers are affected in such a massive way… you need to have organizations that clearly go to bat for farmers. They can’t keep holding the hands of the minister. They can’t keep holding the hands of industry.

They are being paid, by farmers, to do their utmost and make it very clearly understood that this (circumstance) is not acceptable.”

In 2014, Western Barley Growers Association issued several public statements condemning the performance of grain companies. In one release they said grain handlers “are not concerned with falling grain prices and the inability of farmers to ship their grain quickly.”

Doug Robertson, WBGA president, said it’s possible to criticize and maintain relationships with industry reps.

“We didn’t get much grief from the grain companies over those comments.”

Critics have said that Cereals Canada can’t represent life science firms, g ra i n c o m p a n i e s a n d f a r m e r s because those groups have contradictory interests.

Dahl said no one expects farmers and grain companies to be united on every issue, but he doesn’t support the notion that grain merchandisers exist to squeeze every last cent out of producers.

“If the belief is that farmers and companies are in endless war with each other, and a dollar made by a company is a dollar taken away from a farmer, if that’s a view that’s held then I can understand why that perception is there,” Dahl said.

“That isn’t our perception of what the grain industry is…. If we can add $4 to the end product and everybody can share in that expanded pie, then

Goff said Sask Barley has signed on to the Barley Council of Canada because producers have more influence in that organization.

The Barley Council, similar to Cereals Canada, plans to be a leader for all players in the value chain.

On its website, the Barley Council says “producers and industr y members have equal representation at our board table.”

Brian Otto, Barley Council chair and a farmer near Warner, Alta., said the governance structure was less controversial than anticipated.

“A s a p ro d u c e r, I w o n d e re d whether if our industry partners would accept the makeup of the board of directors, seven producer groups and seven from the industry,” said Otto, who has been a director on numerous boards, including the Alberta Barley Commission and the Western Grains Research Foundation. “ There was no objection… because it makes for a strong, national voice for barley.”

Otto said Canada’s barley sector benefits from a unified voice. It helps attract public and private investment for research or garner support for market development.

Besides having an equal stake in the game, Barley Council directors can publicly object to the organization’s policy or industry proposals, Goff said.

“That’s crucial because farmers have to know that things aren’t a done deal,” he said. “We (farmers) can stand up and say: ‘No, this is not good for farmers. This is not the best way forward.’ ” Cereals Canada also permits dissent, but has adopted a more formal policy.

“As a board member you’re supposed to accept the majority (deci-

sion),” said David Rourke, a farmer from Minto, Man., who represented the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers on the Cereals Canada board.

“But if you just can’t, if it’s a bad thing for your organization or your group, you can express that in writing to the board… and if you can’t resolve it around the board table, you’re free to (state concerns publicly).”

Rourke said he takes no issue with the dissent policy or the board composition of Cereals Canada.

He said Saskatchewan commissions may oppose the structure of Cereals Canada, but farmers need to talk to industry representatives.

“It’s a very powerful board. There are presidents and vice-presidents.

Where else do I get a chance to sit across the table from Jay Bradshaw (of Syngenta Canada)…? Where else do I get a chance to talk to Jean Marc Ruest (of Richardson International) about basis levels…? If you’re not giving your point of view, they don’t even know where you’re coming from.”

Otto agreed, noting those conversations broaden a farm leader’s perspective, which promotes co-

Barley Council of Canada chair Brian Otto says the governance structure of the Barley Council gives the group a strong, national voice. | FILE PHOTO operation between producers and company officials.

“We all know our own industry. As a farmer, I know my farm’s business and my challenges… but my industry partners, the malt industry, the feed industry or the feed manufacturers, I don’t know the challenges they face.”

Rourke no longer sits on the Cereals Canada board but he hopes the Saskatchewan commissions sign on because their contributions are

needed to defend farmer interests.

If they join and feel their concerns aren’t being heard or the group isn’t evolving to accommodate producer needs, they can always quit, Rourke said.

everybody is better off.”

Doug Robertson, Western Barley Growers Association president and a farmer from Carstairs, Alta., said he isn’t “enamoured” with the Cereals Canada structure, but it can work if producers on the board voice their opinions and stand up for farmers.

Dahl said rejects the idea that producer groups lose their independence if they co-operate with grain merchants or life science companies.

“I really don’t understand the perceived conflict, to be really honest about it. I don’t understand why someone would view that that would not be possible.”

He said Cereals Canada has a dissent policy that protects the independence of its members. Farm groups within Cereals Canada can speak up if they disagree.

“I don’t think you can ever expect there’s going to be 100 percent agreement, which is why all the organizations do maintain an independent voice.”

For now, the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission isn’t a member of Cereals Canada even though the province represents 50 percent of wheat acres in Canada Dahl said Cereals Canada will proceed without the participation of Sask Wheat, but the organization is welcome to join.

The Saskatchewan government has appointed a producer to Cereals Canada to represent the province’s farmers.

“While they (Sask Wheat) are thinking about it... we do need to have representation from Saskatchewan producers. So we have asked the Government of Saskatchewan to nominate somebody and they have nominated Joan Heath to come onto the board.”

THE WESTERN PRODUCER, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 2015

UPCOMING BEE SALES UNRESERVED APIARIST SALE for NELSON PLETT of NEEPAWA, MB. TUESDAY MAY 19th - 12:00pm

DIRECTIONS: (From Neepawa, MB. jct #16 & #5 highways) North on Hwy #5 - 20.1 Kms to Road 95N. West on Road 95N 1.4 Kms to Sale site on the South side of road. Watch for signs sale day!

AUCTIONEERS NOTE: The reason The Pletts are selling off their bees and some of their equipment is because of work they are doing at a mission school down in Guatemala.

Nelson and Susan are working as support staff for a school for underprivileged kids. Most of the kids have no parents or only one of the parents and have no chance in life. They went down for the winter but seeing those poor kids, they felt they had to do something more to help so they are staying for a couple years. We wish them and the children they are helping all the best. Nelson ran a very clean operation and has good equipment and bees to sell.

U.S. governments and environmental groups are discussing ways to prevent agricultural chemicals from contaminating streams and rivers. |

U.S. WATER QUALITY

Environmental groups debate agricultural regulations Lobby group official says certain farm practices should be regulated to avoid “random acts of conservation”

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Decadesold fertilizer and manure are seeping into U.S. streams and rivers and the better nutrient practices of today might take decades to have a measurable impact.

That’s the challenging reality farmers, regulators and governments are having in the United States in dealing with nitrogen, phosphorus and pesticide leaching.

“It can take from days to years to decades to move to the stream,” said Bob Wilber, the chief of national water quality assessment of the U.S. Geological Survey, in an address to the North American Agricultural Journalists April 27.

“Because of the slow move of nitrates from groundwater to rivers, the nutrient increases we have seen at low stream flows have be a reflection of fertilizer applications and other land management practices from many years ago.”

Craig Cox, the senior vice-president for agriculture and natural resources at environmental lobby group Environmental Working Group, said nutrient inflows from past practices are combining with present day nutrient losses to make regulation of farm practices necessary.

There is a “growing frustration with the so-called voluntary approach, or the business-as-usual approach,” said Cox to NAAJ. “We’re past that, and now I think most of the conversation is not about whether agriculture should be regu-

The water quality and farming panel at the North American Agricultural Journalists’ meeting in Washington: Craig Cox of Environmental Working Group, left, Bob Wilber of Environmental Working Group and Bob Parrish of the American Farm Bureau. | ED WHITE PHOTO lated, but how agriculture should be regulated.”

But American Farm Bureau Federation director of regulatory issues Don Parrish said legislating and regulating particular farm practices could be counterproductive, since the problems and solutions to various problems could be completely different from one area to another.

“The things that are going to be put into place to address the phosphorus loss in Ohio and Lake Erie are different than (what) we’re going to need to be done whether you’re looking at Des Moines water works or whether you look at Arkansas and the Gulf of Mexico,” said Parrish.

“Different nutrients. Different flow paths. Different loss paths of these different nutrients.”

The three speakers agreed that too

much nutrient flow is occurring and had a historical basis, with nutrient banks built up over decades of less precise fertilizer and manure application than common today.

But Cox and Parrish had different positions on how to achieve improvements.

Cox said farmers need to be required to employ certain practices because right now farmers who voluntarily choose to implement environmental and water protection are just doing “random acts of conservation.”

If a neighbour upstream or downstream doesn’t protect their land and water, the gains from the conscientious farmer do little good.

Also, Cox said, farmers might do something beneficial like grass a waterway or protect a riverside location, but then a few years later plow

up that land or stop protecting it.

“These practices are blinking on and off,” said Cox. Because of this, farmers should be regulated to use things like grassed waterways, protected riverbanks, restricted access of livestock to waterways, and no nutrient application to frozen or saturated soils.

“Without that combination, it’s going to be extremely difficult to get the nutrient reductions that folks are looking at agriculture to do,” said Cox. But Parrish said farmers need to be nimble and able apply practices that work and avoid those that don’t, including understanding which nitrate control strategies might actually worsen phosphorus losses, and other unplanned problems.

“Sometimes our conservation practices can be antagonistic and we don’t know what when we ask farmers to implement them,” said Parrish.

“That’s a real problem and one that farmers scratch their heads about.”

For example, buffer zones and grassed waterways can prevent or slow the flow of nitrates into streams, but also create a nutrient “sink” and worsen the potential for phosphorus to flow off the soil’s surface.

“We may have to figure out how to manage conservation practices more effectively,” said Parrish.

“We may be seeing the effects of not plowing contribute to the loss of phosphorus.”

Wilber of the USGS said nutrient losses from agriculture are still occurring, with about 16 percent of the added nutrients not being consumed by crops.

Over the past century, while manure application has not increased, fertilizer application has increased 10 times.

Combined with a near-doubling of the U.S. population and outflows from cities and cottages, nutrification of places like the Gulf of Mexico, Puget Sound and Chesapeake Bay has become well known.

As well, the problems of the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers become major Iowa issues.

With much of the over fertilization of the past only now reaching waterways through slow-moving groundwater, the future situation might not improve for years.

“The full effect of today’s management practices may not be measureable in those rivers until many years into the future,” said Wilber.

But that gave hope to Parrish, who said farmers are quick to employ new technologies that will save them wasting nutrients and throwing away inputs. That can be seen in the 87 percent increase in U.S. corn production from 1980 to 2010, with a four percent decrease in overall fertilizer application for the crop.

“That’s a huge, huge gain in efficiency,” said Parrish.

“And it’s a lot less nutrient that’s left in the environment to be lost.” ed.white@producer.com

RED DEER — Selena Dickmann has woven her love of Fjords, skill at horse training and daredevil attitude into a crowd-pleasing act.

As she stood on the backs of two Fjord horses at the recent Mane Event equine show, Dickmann’s horses spun around poles and jogged past flaming torches that passed between Dickmann’s legs.

“It takes dedication to roman ride. It takes a lot of dedication,” said Dickmann, of Carmangay, Alta.

Roman riding is the ability to stand on the backs of two horses.

Every year, Dickmann adds new features to the act she performs at fairs and shows.

It began when she was told teaching horses to lay down and be submissive could calm spooky and nervous animals.

Before a horse lays down, it must first bow and then kneel. During that training process, Dickmann realized she could isolate the moves and have her horses sit, kneel, bow or lay down on command.

Dickmann began showing off her tricks at 4-H events and was encouraged to put an act together with her Fjords.

“Not too many people do stuff on fjords,” she said of the distinctive Norwegian draft horse.

She has since performed at the Calgary Stampede and at shows in the U.S. While waiting to enter the ring at the Stampede, she saw a performer roman riding a six-horse team of Percherons.

“I went home and start trying to stand on them,” she said.

The Fjords’ wide backs and shorter stature gave Dickmann confidence to attempt roman riding.

“I love the height. They’re not as intimidating,” she said, because falling is inevitable.

At about the same time, Dickmann discovered YouTube and began seeing what other performers could do with their horses.

During the performances, Dickmann asks her horses to Spanish walk, lay down, sit, rear on command, merry-goround and ride through lit torches. She also shows off her horses at gymkhana and barrel racing events and open horse shows.

“They’re really fun to have,” she said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

FJORD FACT The first Norwegian Fjord is thought to have come to North America around 1900, but it was not until the 1950s that most of North America’s foundation breeding stock was imported.

The most notable visual characteristic of a carbon fibre boom is the lack of support structures and cables. The combination of high strength and low weight makes the boom almost totally self-supporting. | KING AGRO PHOTO APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

Lower the boom on weight by two-thirds Carbon fibre: Obese booms are bad business when trying to build efficient sprayers RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Lighter booms can offer several advantages. Among them are less boom bounce, more water capacity, wider booms, lower boom height and the potential to slow down for a better spray job.

A conventional 120 foot steel boom, weighing about 2,500 pounds, can withstand a fair bit of abuse, but all that weight hung out 55 feet from the rack ultimately succumbs to the torturous twisting and goes for scrap steel, sometimes within the first year on the job.

As more companies turn to aluminum, they find the lower weight improves boom longevity. The same 120 foot boom built of aluminum weighs about 1,750 pounds, about one-third less than the steel boom.

While some people are concerned about work hardening, aluminum boom manufacturers use subtly different engineering and geometry to give the booms longer life.

For now, aluminum seems to be state of the art for the North American boom market.

However, according to British company Altek International, True weight savings don’t come from alloys at all.

They are in carbon fibre.

Altek says a 120 foot boom built of carbon fibre weighs only 850 pounds,

for a two-thirds weight reduction from the steel model. Altek did the pencil work in comparing the materials and weights of the three different booms.

In addition, an Argentine company called King Agro points out that the weight reduction allows producers to run a wider boom with a less powerful, cheaper sprayer model that consumes less fuel.

The hypothetical, 120 foot boom we’ve been comparing is real at the King Agro plant in Buenos Aires.

WEED OF THE WEEK: WILD OATS

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wild oats have been hurting yields and spoiling tame oat samples for generations. And with increasing instances of herbicide resistance, prairie farmers’ fight with the pest isn’t ending any time soon.

Hugh Beckie of Agriculture Canada’s Saskatoon Research Centre said wild oats remain of the 10 worst annual weeds that cereal producers must contend with worldwide.

Research indicates that more than 10 million acres of Western Canada is affected by herbicide resistant weeds and most of those incidents are wild oat related.

Reduced tillage systems have done much for agriculture in Western Canada and for wild oats as a plant.

The need for chemical control in place of steel and diesel fuel has selected for resistant genetics in avena fatua, its Latin name, especially for those chemicals with a single mode of action.

At more than $500 million annually in lost crop yields, wild oats is the leading weed pest with which prairie farmers must contend.

A recent, large-scale study has shown that 20 percent of the fields tested contained herbicide resistant wild oats.

The 10 year study found that of the 1,000 wild oat samples examined, herbicide Group 1 resistance was

present in 68 percent and five percent also had Group 2 resistance.

Group 8 resistance is also showing up prairie wide.

Other than tillage and adding a forage to the crop rotation, rotating herbicides and using herbicides with multiple modes of action are needed to avoid and correct for resistant pest plants, say agronomists.

Wild oat seeds persist in the soil for up to a decade, but 85 to 95 percent germinate in the first two years.

Warm, dry fall seasons will promote dormancy in the seed. Nitrates from urea applications in the spring can cause dormancy to end.

If the weed is one leaf stage ahead of a wheat crop, yields of can be reduced by 15 percent if there are 16 wild oats found per square metre. On a 40 bushel crop this would cut yields by about six bushels. If the weed is at the same stage as the crop it cuts yields by nine percent and if the weed is a leaf stage behind the crop, it results in a five percent drop. In flax, 10 per square meter can cut yields by up to 20 percent.

Wild oats often emerges along with the crop and if that crop is a cereal, it can limit herbicide choices.

Despite effective herbicide introductions in the 1970s and 1980s, the pest remains abundant. Canola and other herbicide tolerant crops are effective against the pest.

In broadleaf crops, there are several grassy weed herbicides that can be

effective, but control often requires application at the right time in the weed’s development.

Finer patterned spray nozzles and higher water rates can improve efficacy of herbicide application when it comes to the pest.

In cereals there are several choices of herbicides and most are affective if the weed is caught early.

The seed can remain viable in the soil for as long as seven years, so tillage of mature plants isn’t recommended. Reduced tillage keeps wild oats seeds in the seed bank from germination and can significantly cut infestations.

Using bin-run seed can compound efforts to control the pest. Clean seed is critical to reducing the pest. Producers can delay seeding, providing time for them to catch wild oats with spring applications of herbicides like glyphosate, ahead of the crop. Harrowing too can be effective at killing newly sprouted oats.

Higher seeding rates of cropped cereals make fields less hospitable for wild oats, however the rapidly growing weed can often outpace its crop host. Targeted application of fertilizer in, or near seed rows keeps some of it away from wild oats and makes crops more competitive, squeezing out the weed.

Canola and other herbicide tolerant crops are effective against the pest. michael.raine@producer.com

LOWER THE BOOM ON WEIGHT » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 74 King Agro has been building carbon fibre spray booms for the South American market for three years, in which time they have sold about 250 of the ultralight booms.

Its 120 foot carbon fibre boom sells for US$50,000, says the company’s Geronimo Garvie.

In making materials comparisons, they use the internationally accepted unit of megapascals (MPa) to measure breaking strength. Low numbers indicate a material breaks easily.

High numbers mean it takes more force to break the material.

Because the carbon fibre formula can be mixed in a variety of resistance and stiffness ratings, different compounds are used in different parts of its boom assembly. But King’s carbon fibre is considerably stronger than steel.

Garvie said low resistance carbon fibre employed by King Agro has a breaking strength of 2,500 MPa. The company’s high resistance mixes have values of around 6,000 MPa. In contrast, steel 1010 is rated at 300 MPa and stainless steel 316 is rated at 500 MPa. In designing a lightweight apparatus such as an airplane or a spray boom, engineers look for materials that are strong yet light, with a low density measured in kilograms per cubic metre (Kg/m3). A low number means the material is lighter than a higher number.

Garvie said King Agro’s carbon fibre mixture has an average density of 1,450 Kg/m3.

In contrast, steel 1010 has a density of 7,800 Kg/m3, which is about five times heavier than carbon fibre per unit of material.

Carbon fibre is more resistant to fatigue than steel, therefore it increases the lifespan of spray booms, according to the company. Carbon fibre is also very stable, therefore a good material for standing up to exposure to weather and agrochemicals.

Because epoxy resin is chemically stable, it’s widely used in paints that will be exposed to chemicals. King Agro says the malleability of carbon fibre allows them to take a design and build a stronger and lighter component compared to any other mainstream material. Applying this to spray booms, they say it allows them to build the strongest, lightest booms available.

APPLICATION SPEED

Raising the speed limit on sprayers This story is part two of a pair of stories looking at sprayer speed. Part one appeared in the April 30 edition and is available on our website.

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

Speed spraying at 20 miles per hour is no longer the exception. It’s the new norm made possible by new suspensions.

Previous generations of sprayers were buckboard rough, with nothing but a bad ride for operators who dared to venture past the recommended 10 to 12 m.p.h. range. Run-

ning at higher speeds causes back problems for drivers, extra trips to the welding shop, early boom replacements and sub-standard spray jobs.

While it was generally accepted that 20 m.p.h. wasn’t the best thing for a high yield, that speed remained the Holy Grail of applicators. With better suspensions, sprayer speeds crept up toward that magical mark.

Owners and operators were generally happy. However, it became apparent that higher speeds created a new problem in the form of synthetic air turbulence.

This is manmade turbulence

caused by moving a big object through the air. It wreaks havoc with spray patterns and caused spray drift, according to Gary Moffat, owner of Sp e c i a l i z e d Sp ra y S y s t e m s i n Lethbridge.

Moffat is in the business of modifying and tuning sprayers so they can run at 20 m.p.h. without spray drift problems and without poor deposition problems farmers have come to accept with higher speeds. He feels properly set up booms can also put 15 to 25 percent more droplets on target and eliminate the fine droplets that blow away.

“What we do is get rid of that turbu-

lence. We’ve got to put those nozzles down in free air so the droplets being produced can be taken down to the target by gravity,” says Moffat, adding that he lowers the nozzles and angles them back slightly to reduce wind shear.

“We’re able to see on our Droplet Scan water sensitive cards that we produce a uniform droplet spectrum and uniform droplet pattern across the boom, left to right.”

It’s generally accepted that operators who spray at 20 mph know they cannot put the boom down to 20 inches for a quality spray job, even with automated boom height tech-

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN. Delaro™ fungicide doesn’t take kindly to diseases like anthracnose, ascochyta and white mould threatening the yield potential of innocent pulse and soybean crops.

Powerful, long-lasting disease control with exceptional yield protection, Delaro is setting a new standard in pulse and soybean crops.

nology. At high speed, boom bounce dictates a higher boom ride and that automatically results in poor product deposition.

“That’s wrong,” says Moffat. “Where all that 20 inch boom height business came from was back when we were testing 110 degree flat fan nozzles and getting tr iple overlap. We thought the triple overlap, or the angle water comes out the nozzle, keeps going. Well it doesn’t. It only extends to 20 inches max.

“If you raise that boom up to what we recommend now, at least 30 inches and up to 36 inches, we’ll test the spray pattern and it’ll be flat right across. The water spins back and overlaps so it gives us a very even pattern.”

Moffat says those results are with Air Bubble Jet nozzles. He explains that he sells Air Bubble Jet because they give the most uniform droplet spectrum, giving the most coverage from each tip.

Moffat says all above information is for naught if producers don’t give the boom a proper tune up.

While he says he won’t give away his trade secrets, he is willing to share basic information.

All boom sections must get the exact same liquid volume.

In the turbulent tire areas and tractor areas, relocate nozzles back and down.

On the boom, lower nozzles so the end of the nozzle is at least 0.5 inch below the boom and angled back slightly.

Moffat charges producers for his services, both at the shop and on the farm. However increased efficiency for a sprayer that might cover 3,000 acres and more, several times each year can have a rapid payback. After modifications, and sometimes before he performs Droplet Scans, they are about $450. It can show off a sprayers foibles.

Once a boom has been tuned it should be good for the life of the machine, or until somebody messes with it, he says. New booms direct from the factory are often out by 25 percent and sometimes as much as 40 percent, so investing in a Droplet Scan test might be a good idea, says the sprayer specialist.

Moffat emphasizes that water sensitive paper is essential in all boom and nozzle tuning activities. Eyeballing droplets on paper puts you in the ballpark, but the Droplet Scan is necessary if you want precise tuning data. Although it would be a handy tool for all serious applicators, the $10,000 purchase price puts it out of reach for most people.

ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

Be prudent, don’t panic, says Alberta economist While the oil and gas sector has taken a dive, other sectors in the province are faring well, absorbing some loses in the labour market

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

“Oil and gas is not the only sector in the province. There are other sectors that will do quite well and help offset the softness we are seeing in the petroleum sector,” he said.

Rather than dependency on one commodity, more consideration should be given to diversification within the core industries of agriculture, forestry and energy rather than trying to attract industries that do not fit here.

No one can predict the price of oil but the current situation is not sustainable.

Soft oil prices are due to the deci-

sion of OPEC members to flood the world market. There is too much supply hitting the market and insufficient demand.

Saudi Arabia is a low-cost producer and wants to weed out the high cost producers. However, some of the other 11 members of OPEC like Venezuela, Libya and Nigeria are highcost producers and they cannot play this game indefinitely.

By late summer or early fall, OPEC production will have to pull back because some of its own members’ economies cannot continue to support the Saudi policy.

RED DEER, Alta. — The biggest threat to the Alberta economy is uncertainty, not $55 oil, says the chief economist of ATB Financial.

“I really don’t think Albertans should worry about the economy. I am not saying we shouldn’t be prudent and we ignore what is going on because 2015 will be a challenging year for a lot of operators in Alberta and we are expecting the worst growth in six years,” said Todd Hirsch.

ATB Financial expects economic

growth of 0.8 percent in 2015, a considerable slowdown from the faster pace of 4.4 percent in 2014.

“There is a level of anxiety in the province,” he said at the Alberta Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting in Red Deer April 30.

This current downturn with limited growth and oil patch layoffs is not a new experience for long time residents of the province.

“This is a broken record repeating itself over and over again,” he said.

Oil and gas fortunes may have flagged but industries like forestry, tourism and agriculture have rallied.

He anticipates less volatility and oil could go back to $60-65 a barrel by year end.

“That is still a really low price for producers in this province,” he said.

Many companies need $85-90 a barrel oil to break even due to high extraction and labour costs.

The average weekly earnings for Canadians across Canada from 20042014 increased 13 percent, but Alberta oil and gas employee wages increased 67 percent for the same period.

“In 2015, these wages and costs are going to have to ratchet downward,” he said.

Rebalancing of the energy sector is uncomfortable. Oil prices will increase but the cost structure must come down, especially on the labour side. This will present a discouraging labour market for young graduates entering the workforce seeking high paying jobs.

ATB forecast calls for an average six percent unemployment rate in Alberta for 2015. Some months will crest up to seven percent by June or July.

“Seven percent is too high for sure but we did hit 7.5 percent only six years ago,” he said.

“Even in our worst day here in Alberta our labour market is matching the Canadian average,” he said.

Other big issues like interest rates and the currency add to anxiety.

Canadians are holding record levels of household debt. In the fourth quarter of 2014, household debt was record high at 163 percent. For every $100 of disposable income brought in, they owed $163 on mortgages, lines of credit and credit cards.

However, his observations show Canadians are not adding new household debt.

“The debt-to-income ratio will start to come down in the coming quarters,” he said.

The loonie is fluctuating but is probably sitting in the right place in the low eighties.

When the dollar was at par 18 months ago, exporter crowed they could not compete. Now, importers are struggling because the loonie depreciated against the U.S. greenback.

“Where the Canadian dollar is right now on balance is good news for the Canadian and Alberta economy,” he said.

“Everything would be 20 percent more difficult if that Canadian dollar was still sitting at par. We are export oriented into the U.S. economy,” he said.

For the rest of 2015, it will probably hover in the 80-83 cent range and may strengthen to 87 cents in 2016.

He is certain it will not achieve par any time soon.

Interest rates also remain low.

In January the Bank of Canada lowered the overnight rate and it has remained unchanged at .75 percent.

The economy showed no growth in February over January, but was in line with what the bank expected.

He does not expect another rate cut or increase for the rest of this year. It may be another 18 months before the bank tightens its monetary policy and the overnight rate is not likely to increase beyond one percent before the last quarter of 2016. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

MITTENS IN THE MAKING

AVIAN INFLUENZA

U.S. challenges poultry ban

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C . — After finally getting some relief from the ebbing of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus in pigs, American farmers, regulators and politicians are wrestling with the foreign market complications of the sudden onset of avian influenza.

They’ve lost the Chinese market and only have partial access to 38 other countries’ markets. But that partial access is what U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack considers a success in a challenging situation.

“We don’t have any incidences on the east coast, so why would you say that you can’t buy poultry from Virginia or North Carolina,” Vilsack told the North American Agricultural Journalists April 27, after failing to convince his Chinese counterpart that not all U.S. poultry needed to be banned.

“I think they need to see for themselves the work that our industry is doing.”

A Chinese technical delegation plans to visit the U.S. this summer to see the avian influenza control regime, both as a useful primer and as a way of assessing how good American controls are, Vilsack said.

Avian influenza, or bird flu, from an as yet unknown source, has infected millions of birds in the upper U.S. Midwest and elsewhere, causing mass liquidations of sick chickens and turkeys. Already poultry slaughter and processing companies are having trouble getting supplies.

Vilsack said USDA and other bodies are following the same sorts of steps that were used to reverse the spread of PED in pigs.

Representative and House agriculture committee Democratic heavyweight Collin Peterson, who described his region of northwest Minnesota as ground zero for the

outbreak, said the disruption is great and may challenge the future of some farms. While there is U.S. government compensation for flocks depopulated after reporting an outbreak, that compensation is only partial and does not cover months of cleanup and zero production.

“We may need better biosecurity going forward,” said Peterson.

He warned other parts of the U.S. not be complacent about infection risk. He believes wild waterfowl are responsible for the outbreak.

“The thing that people need to watch for is when these ducks go to Canada … they’re going to mix up with east coast ducks and the folks in the east better be paying attention because this is going to be a big problem,” said Peterson.

Vilsack said he is focused on having regional controls and not countrywide bans. ed.white@producer.com

WORKER PROTECTION

Labour laws should apply to ag: survey

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An Environics poll commissioned by the Alberta Federation of Labour indicates 82 percent of Albertans think provincial labour laws should include farm workers.

The survey of 1,265 Albertans, conducted April 27, showed 55 percent strongly support extension of workplace protection laws to include agricultural workers and 27 percent somewhat support it.

Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed said farm workers are either somewhat protected or not protected at all by current legislation.

AFL president Gil McGowan said the poll indicates a need for legislative change.

“Agricultural work is dangerous work. The law should reflect that,” he said in an April 28 news release.

“Agricultural workers in Alberta don’t have the basic safety rights that every other worker in Alberta have.

They don’t have the right to know about the dangers in a workplace.

They don’t have the right to refuse unsafe work and because of the lack of these basic safety laws, too many agricultural workers are injured or killed on the job in Alberta.”

Derek Leebosh, vice-president of public affairs for Environics Research Group, said respondents were asked five questions in the poll. The number of rural versus urban respondents was not noted, he said, but of the 1,265 surveyed, 362 were from outside Calgary and Edmonton.

Pollsters asked respondents their opinion on one of two ways to address worker farm safety.

Fifty-nine percent said it was best addressed by having farm employers “face the same inspections and fines as employers in other sectors.”

The other option provided, to address it “through better workplace safety education programs,” was favoured by 34 percent.

A fourth question, “why hasn’t the Alberta government given agricultural workers basic workplace rights and protections?” provided two possible answers.

Fifty-eight percent said government was catering to the interests of big agri-business and 31 percent said government was tr ying to respect the unique needs of family farmers.

On the question of which political party would be most likely to implement farm worker protection, 52 percent said the New Democrats, 14 percent chose Wildrose, six percent chose Progressive Conservatives and four percent Liberals. Twenty-three percent had no opinion.

The poll’s gender split was 51 percent female and 49 percent male.

Females responded more strongly to the question about extending coverage.

Leebosh said 62 percent of women agreed with coverage extension compared to 49 percent of men.

Margin of error in the survey is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

McGowan was critical in his statement about government inaction on the file.

“Over the last decade, there have been concrete promises of reform from the government, but to date nothing has been done,” he said.

“It’s time to take action on this. And it’s clear that the vast majority of Albertans would support a leader who took action, and who brought in workplace safety laws for agricultural workers.”

During the provincial election campaign, the Liberals and the New

TRADE

U.S. officials preparing for an end to COOL

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

That’s probably due to the kind of money paid for cattle. Most recently, Canfax reported good cows t ra d i n g at $ 1 5 0 per hu ndredweight, 500 lb. steers averaging $350 per cwt and 800 lb. steers at around $275 per cwt.

Even at those high prices, demand for cattle remains high and large numbers have been exported, leaving Canadian packers struggling to operate at capacity.

The cost of gain may determine where cattle go.

“This spring we have exported huge numbers of feeder cattle and that was purely because of the cost of gain disadvantage. Corn really dropped and barley has been rallying through the winter for the most part,” Perillat said.

Profitability may encourage some Canadian expansion.

“We might be starting our expansion walk. It won’t be a run,” he said.

Breeding stock prices are increasing. Good premiums were paid for breeding heifers and fewer cow dispersals happened this past year. Bull sales posted record averages.

“Some of the preliminary data is showing we are finally getting an appetite to expand,” he said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Some leading U.S. lawmakers from both political parties sound like they’re ready to accept the end of country-of-origin labelling (COOL).

The World Trade Organization is considering a U.S. appeal of its previous ruling that found COOL was discriminatory to Canadian and Mexican livestock.

A decision is expected May 18.

“We’ll deal with it pretty quickly,” said House of Representatives agriculture committee chair Michael Conaway, a Republican.

“We’ll move legislation to deal with the issue.”

Debbie Stabenow, the leading Democrat on the Republican-controlled Senate agriculture committee, said she was hoping for a Plan B that would allow some sort of labelling to arise from the ashes of COOL if the WTO rejects the U.S. appeal.

“I do think if the ruling goes against us that there is a path forward to come together around an alternative, something that we embrace, a North American label, for example,” said Stabenow.

Both Stabenow and Conaway were separately answering questions from members of the North American Agriculture Journalists April 28.

COOL has been popular with some U.S. farm groups, like the (U.S.) National Farmers Union and R-CALF, and supported by some politicians from farm states.

Other groups, like the National Pork Producers Council, have long argued against COOL and some politicians have opposed COOL rules for years.

Generally, Republicans are more opposed to COOL, citing its costs to processors and the general damage to the North American industry, while Democrats have been more supportive, saying it gives consumers important information.

Conaway said his committee will try to get rid of the offending provisions of COOL if the W TO rules against the U.S. appeal and won’t cling on to see the nature of Canadian and Mexican retaliation.

“I don’t intend to wait on ... the retaliatory measures,” said Conaway.

“That process will go on.”

In October 2014, the U.S. settled a long dispute with Brazil over cotton by paying $300 million to the Brazilian Cotton Institute.

That settlement occurred on the eve of Brazil imposing retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.

Stabenow, who noted that “I support COOL and I always have,” said she believes some sort of origin labelling is important for consumers.

MARKET TRENDS

U.S. cattle feeders feel price pinch Canadian counterparts are benefitting from the low dollar, high prices and good export demand

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

North American cattle prices have been at a record highs for the last four quarters, but the party may soon be over if Canadian market trends follow what’s happening in the United States.

Those expensive feeder cattle placed in U.S. feedlots last fall are being sold at huge losses.

Based on the cash market without price management strategies, U.S. feedlots are losing more than $150 per head, said a report from agriculture economist Glynn Tonsor of Kansas State University.

The same thing may happen in Canada as record prices are paid for cattle to fill feedlots.

“If you place that 850 pound steer, we are looking at potentially a loss of $50 per head,” said Brian Perillat of the marketing firm Canfax.

“We definitely have to be cautious given these margins. The futures market is anticipating prices to drop.

The dollar is rallying a little bit right now and guys have just spent record prices on calves again,” he said.

Tonsor’s analysis found the February close out on fattened steers resulted in a loss of $135 per head, while heifers lost $121 per head.

In March, steers lost $117 per head

and heifers lost $155 each. Based on high cattle prices and cost of gain, losses could continue at an escalating rate on fed cattle.

The website agweb.com had losses by mid April of more than $200 per head compared to last year, when those cattle were making nearly $250 each.

Some of the preliminary data is showing we are finally getting an appetite to expand.

BRIAN PERILLAT CANFAX

According to agcenter.com, if a 750 lb. steer purchased for $1,620 last fall sold for $2,170 on the cash market this spring, it probably resulted in a $150 loss once cost of gain and other expenses were deducted.

An 82 cent dollar and improved basis places Canada in an unusual position where cattle are trading at a premium to the U.S. “In the short term right now we continue to see our fed cattle prices go higher. A big part of that is thanks to the dollar,” said Perillat.

Canada is also experiencing a change in the basis.

“Usually we are at a discount to U.S. prices. We are at a huge premium. That is another big bonus to cattle feeders. We were trading $7 higher to Nebraska. We have rarely gotten even to their prices,” he said.

The cash market is just part of the story. More cattle are marketed through contracts and that can provide some protection against volatility.

However, those who signed contracts probably made less money, but still locked in a profit.

“Contracts are based off the futures market adjusted for the dollar and plus or minus whatever the basis is. The futures right now are at such a discount to the cash that there are guys who haven’t done as much contracting going forward because they can’t contract a very good price,” Perillat said.

Canada does not have a futures market like the U.S., but producers can take advantage of the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program to manage risk.

It covers calves, feeder and fed cattle and offers a hog program for price protection.

So far this year, uptake on the program has not been as high as previous years, said Brenda Hagen of Alberta Financial Services Corporation.

BSE TESTING

DISEASE RESEARCH

Experts eye retina for BSE link U.S. researchers found infected animals respond more slowly to light and the retina begins to thin

CFIA says more samples needed to ensure control

BY DAN YATES

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A cow’s eyes are a window to the animal’s brain, say Amer ican researchers studying BSE. In a recently published paper, scientists with Iowa State University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture document how they used retina tests to detect animals infected with the disease months before they showed traditional signs of illness.

Today, their tests are of greater interest to researchers than ranchers, but scientists in Canada and the U.S. say they have potential and could someday assist the beef sector’s efforts to keep BSE off farms, out of slaughterhouses and far away from customers.

“I have the luxury of just worrying about the science,” said Heather Greenlee, a researcher at Iowa State University’s college of veterinary medicine. “I think that at the very least, if there is interest and a will to pursue using the eye for monitoring (BSE) in livestock, I think knowing that the retina changes and when the retina changes would be really useful.”

Researchers have studied the retina, the part of the body that connects the eye to the brain, and its relationship with prion-related diseases for the last decade.

Prions are the misfolded proteins present in cattle with BSE, sheep with scrapie and cervids with chronic wasting disease.

“A lot of them are blind actually,” Stefanie Czub with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said of BSE-infected cattle. “Because the retina is not actually working anymore.”

Justin Greenlee with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Animal Disease Centre said researchers previously established that abnormal prion proteins are

present in the retinas of infected animals.

“I’m excited about it because it works and especially in cattle that don’t seem to accumulate much of the abnormal prion protein outside of the brain and spinal cord, said Justin. “With chronic wasting disease of deer and elk and scrapie in sheep, there’s abnormal prions in the lymph nodes and spleen and tissues like that very early in the disease, so early that I think when we apply our eye stuff to those diseases it’s not as helpful as tests we already have.

“But in the case of cattle, it’s our best guess. It’s the best sample we can look at in a live animal to have useful information.”

Inte r nati o nal re q u i re m e nt s demand Canada test samples from 30,000 cows every year. With no validated test for live animals, BSE surveillance relies brain samples from dead animals. In 2012 and 2014, Canada fell short of its testing goal.

“I think it is a really interesting approach, because it is not invasive,” Czub said of the retina research.

“You don’t need to put the animal down, you don’t need to take brain … you can do this on a live animal.

This would be a potential live animal test if they were to work their problems out. That’s what makes it interesting.”

For their tests, U.S. researchers inoculated adult Holstein steers with two different strains of BSE and studied the function and thickness of the retina, taking measurements every three months.

Heather likened the retina tests to a visit to the optometrist, and even borrowed some technology.

“They developed a sort of gunshaped probe you could just point at the eye (for pediatrics),” she said.

“That’s really what allowed us to then implement this in cattle.”

They found infected cattle re-

sponded more slowly to a flash of light 12 months after inoculation.

At the same interval, they also observed a thinner retina, Heather said.

These changes were observed up to 11 months before any traditional signs of disease. Their study says it’s the earliest reported clinical signs associated with BSE, demonstrating that the retina is affected by “protein misfolding disorders long thought to be confined to the brain.”

We don’t really know if this test is able to distinguish between a true BSE-infected animal and an animal with another brain infection, like listeria …”.

STEPHANIE CZUB CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY

Once infected with BSE, cattle can carry the disease for years before showing signs or falling victim to the disease, as was the case earlier this year when officials confirmed BSE in a deceased Alberta cow born in 2009. That animal was born on the same farm as another at the centre of a 2010 case.

Researchers say the retina has diagnostic potential, although larger studies, using thousands of animals, not dozens, are needed before a test could be brought to the beef industry.

“The problem for North American BSE surveillance is that we are looking not into healthy animals, but we are testing … animals which have neurological problems, animals which have issues in the brain and with that often already in the eyes as well,” said Czub.

“We don’t really know if this test is able to distinguish between a true

BSE-infected animal and an animal with another brain infection, like listeria …”

The study notes “technical, logistical and safety limitations” that prevented some data from being collected from cattle in the study.

“If this is the case, if you can’t use every animal in a feedlot setting, then it is not really robust enough to transfer this method …” said Czub.

There are other challenges, but in the meantime — and if nothing else — researchers have a new bar to compare other potential diagnostics to, said Justin.

“Like anything that starts up from fresh, there are stages you go through where first we’d be happy if this worked, then you get it to work and now the problems you deal with are, ‘OK, how do we do more of these in a timely manner and how do we make it so it’s not us that’s doing the w o rk bu t a ny bo dy ca n do th e work?’” he said.

Heather said the information gathered from the BSE project will help other animal research and assist studies probing human prion diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

For cattle, this information could be employed as another line of defence against BSE at processing facilities, she said.

“I could imagine a situation where either just prior to slaughter or just immediately after slaughter eyes could be used to screen (for BSE), ‘Oh, this eye is within normal and its fine, send that carcass through. …

This eye is not within normal. Let’s send it down a different lane and do a little bit more in-depth testing.’ ” she said. “… For hardcore diagnosis, I think at the end of the day you still need to do the good old-fashioned let’s look for the misfolded prions.” dan.yates@producer.com

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Stefanie Czub calls research in the United States on testing live animals for BSE interesting.

But the Canadian Food Inspection Agency researcher also reminds producers that the current tests aren’t broken.

“The problem we have right now with the surveillance is we need to get more animals into the labs for testing,” said Czub.

International regulations require Canada to collect and test 30,000 samples cattle per year for BSE. In 2012 and 2014, Canada fell short of that mark — a fact producers in Saskatchewan and Alberta, where target shortfalls have been the greatest, are regularly reminded of.

“I think a lot of people thought everywhere, in every area, that BSE is over. We hadn’t had a case since 2011,” said Czub. “…The trade was kind of almost back to where it was before (the BSE crisis in 2003).”

This year, more than 7,900 samples have been collected across the country through the end of March, according to the CFIA, including a BSE infected animal in Alberta in February.

Producers are told to watch for “4D cattle” — those that are diseased, down, dying or dead.

Czub said the efforts of Canadian researchers are focusing on gaining a better understanding of the atypical BSE strain and how it compares to the traditional, food borne disease most commonly seen.

Previous projects sought a live animal BSE test using blood and urine samples, but researchers found results varied depending on either the animal’s sex or breed.

“That’s then not practical at all. You can’t have a test for only Hereford and then another for Angus and things like this,” said Czub. “So this was kind of put to rest.” dan.yates@producer.com

Hog euthanasia plan needed

Understanding nuances of branded beef programs

Producers are required to have a written plan outlining when and why

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Hog producers must have a plan for when and how to euthanize pigs when necessary.

Dr. Craig Wilkinson, director of animal care in the agriculture faculty at the University of Alberta, said the processes involved in making a decision to euthanize, and then documenting it, are among the most challenging aspects for producers.

He discussed the topic April 30 during a conference call organized

by Alberta Pork.

Euthanasia is defined as providing a humane death without pain or distress.

The pig code of practice, finalized last year, requires producers to have an on-farm written euthanasia plan developed in consultation with a veterinarian. It also requires that those who carry it out must be trained in proper methods.

“Farms really need to ensure that there’s a really thought-through euthanasia plan,” said Wilkinson.

“That’s a way of ensuring that there’s consistenc y regarding when and for what reasons euthanasia is to be applied, who is going to make that decision and who’s going to do it, and how it’s going to

be done at different various stages of the animal.”

Wilkinson said it is difficult to determine the appropriate time to euthanize a pig but erring on the side of early rather than late will limit animal suffering.

He suggested producers develop a chart to help them and their employees determine when euthanasia is required.

“It sure helps to have this well defined. The code or practice has an example of a decision tree.… It’s really a good guide for setting that up. Each farm may have slightly different criteria but they should really follow the main principles.”

Once the decision is made, Wilkinson said the job should be carried out quickly, using accepted, wellmaintained equipment and by a person trained in use of that equipment.

“It’s better not to dither. It’s better to just get on with it and ensure that the animal is humanely euthanized.”

As for proper method, the code of practice chart provides a guide. At the U of A, a research facility with veterinarians on staff, Wilkinson said euthanasia drugs are often used on pigs. In other cases, sedation is provided beforehand.

However, this is not practical in many farm situations. There, various types of captive bolt systems are the most frequently used method, according to Alberta Pork’s informal survey.

Wilkinson said the CASH dispatch kit is effective, as is the Zephyr. Both are captive bolt styles of trigger-operated guns. Used properly, they render animals instantly insensible.

Dr. Frank Marshall of Marshall Swine Health Services said he finds the Zephyr best for small pigs. Dr. Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Health Services favoured it as well but noted the importance of firm head restraint when using it.

Wilkinson said producers should have a specific location for swine e u t h a n a s i a, aw ay f ro m o t h e r animals,where equipment can be kept and maintained and the site can be easily cleaned.

He also noted the importance of quickly determining death of the animal and having a plan for safe carcass disposal.

Niche markets can offer premium prices but rules that accompany them could become too stringent

W

ith all the terms in the beef industry such as organic, natural, hormone free, sustainable, producers are bound to be confused, even those trying to raise cattle to fit into these programs.

Most branded or niche programs are trying to differentiate themselves from the traditional ways of producing beef.

If you are interested, get the details of the specific branded program you are thinking about and learn the necessary extra work in the form of record keeping that is necessary.

Once you know that and potential production losses that may be inherent in such a program, determine the premium you need to stay in that market.

These programs create extra input costs. There can be higher returns, but it is key that producers understand the expected net profit at the end of the day.

Some more rigid programs are antibiotic free. If you are part of this program and antibiotics are used, the calf that receives the treatment is out of the program. All medical treatments whether prophylactic, metaphylactic or actual medical cases are usually considered the same.

These programs eliminate all antibiotics in feed, as well as metaphylactic treatments we see given for instance to high-risk cattle entering the feedlot.

There are meat withdrawals established for these products that producers adhere to, so producers that use antibiotic treatments still produce safe products. The antibiotic free programs cater to public perceptions that antibiotic use is undesirable.

Technically, all raised beef is free of antibiotics if proper withdrawals are recognized. The antibiotic free requirement follows through to the packer so if any medication is given, that calf is pulled out of the program.

When a calf drops out of an antibiotic free program, it is marketed as a normal calf.

Animal welfare needs are addressed in these programs and procedures like painkillers at castration are often called for. These also have a withdrawal time that must be adhered to.

My worry is that antibiotics could be held off for a day or two to see if the calf recovers from a problem and that results in more deaths or chronic cases. Only the individual producer would know if that has happened.

Some programs insist on a preconditioning program that means wean-

ing a minimum period of time (30-60 days is common).

This has benefits in the feedlot because calves on a good vaccination program that have been weaned for that length of time are much less likely to get sick.

Also by waiting for 60 days or longer, calves are gaining well so it results in more pounds at selling time. Shrink is minimized on transport.

Branded programs also can bring bigger benefits at transport because most often calves are shipped directly to their final destination, minimizing extra transport costs and the stress placed on the animals when they are put through an auction market.

In the old days, the best returns for cow-calf operators was generally to wean early right off the cow with no vaccines or input costs incurred.

From a health, stress and shrink aspect this is the worst thing you could do to this young calf. These calves were considered by most veterinarians’ standards high risk to ultra high risk depending on their weight and distance transported.

Now there are electrolyte solutions, which when given before shipping, can reduce stress even more.

Giving up weight gain Programs that offer “no added hormones” primarily refer to no implanting and must be looked at from an economic standpoint. Every time a male calf is implanted after castration or a heifer calf is implanted, there are extra gains. All implants have a zero withdrawal for slaughter so are safe.

Calves can receive implants up to three to four times up until slaughter.

It depends on how young calves are implanted and how big they are fed to.

T h e b ra n d e d p ro g ra m s hav e helped in raising awareness of producer management and specific vaccination programs implemented.

However, the no added hormone programs have seen losses in productivity.

Every time an implant is not given, pounds of gain are lost. This is fine as long as the selling price in these no added hormones programs compensates for the lower weights of the calves.

Some say that by not implanting, you need an extra 20 percent return to make up the net difference that implants give you.

These niche markets can offer higher prices, but I worry that rules will continue to become more stringent until they reach a point at which they are no longer sustainable.

There are pros and cons to each of the branded type programs out there.

They all help to raise the profile of beef and increase markets.

The future will tell how sustainable they are in the long term and whether there is a need to change them to reflect the best needs of the cattle while still getting producers the returns they deserve.

ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR

Training methods vary with horse’s personality Shy or fearful, dominant or confident? Determining if an animal is introverted or extroverted will help trainers and riders

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RED DEER, Alta. — Horses have personality types, just as people do.

Linda Parelli, who developed a Horsenality profile chart to better understand horses, said it’s important for people to know which type of horse they are riding.

If riders know whether a horse is introverted, or extroverted, left brained or right brained, they will be able to bring out the best in the animal, Parelli told horse owners during the Mane Event conference.

“It is the key to having a successful relationship with your horse. You see what horses need to help bring out the best of them.”

While watching her horse-training husband Pat years ago, Parelli realized horses respond differently to different training methods based on their personalities.

“It’s how to train horses using psy-

chology. It is also about what is natural for horses,” she said.

Parelli divided horse personalities into introverts and extroverts.

Extroverted horses have high energy, more go, are quick and have a tendency to run. Introverted horses have low energy, are slower and have a tendency to stop.

She further divided her personality list into right brain and left brain.

Left brain horses are dominant, pushy, tolerant, unconcerned, confident and curious. Right brain horses are fearful, defensive, emotional, lack confidence and are easily spooked.

Horses can be extroverted-right brained, extroverted-left brained, introverted-right brain and introverted-left brain.

Their personality is based on their innate characteristics, learned behaviour, environment and spirit.

Parelli said extroverted horses want to move their feet. Extroverted humans want to move their mouths.

A right brained-extroverted horse will be fearful and nervous. A left brained-extroverted horses will be dominant and confident.

A right brained-introverted horse will be shy and timid and unable to move because of fear. A left brainedintrovert is motivated by food and is easily bonded to humans.

Knowing the horse’s personality will help trainers and owners guide their strategy to learn how to deal with each horse.

“STINK” IN A BOTTLE

Sniffing out an odour or aroma depends on the nose COWBOY LOGIC

anch kids get exposed to a lot of different scents: some good, some not so good.

Being younger than us old folks, I suppose their sniffer is a little keener, just like their taste buds are more sensitive than oldsters like me who pour the salt and pepper and Tabasco on their food.

Like me, our children like the country life. They share my appreciation for the smell of fresh mown alfalfa, June berry and chokecherry blossoms, the ponderosa pines and the smell of the earth itself after a cool rain.

My wife likes to hang the sheets and quilts and pillows out on our clothesline. That’s a country thing, I suppose. We’re far enough off the main road and we get so little traffic that they don’t get chock full of road dust. They smell like a little slice of heaven when they are put back on the beds.

I walked into our sons’ room for bedtime prayers the other night after the bedding had been hung out and the smell of freshness actually hit me as I walked through their door. You might imagine that’s not always the case in their room.

No matter how they try, I don’t think anyone can put that smell in a dryer sheet or stick it in a bottle of laundry detergent.

I must have taught our kids to like the smell of horses because I’m not sure the smell of a sweaty horse with the saddle just removed is a natural preference.

Cattle have a smell, too, and they

don’t mind that.

The ranch dog has a particular odour if he found something dead to roll in or drag into the yard. That one we tend to avoid.

But I’ve never heard them complain much about other strong odours, such as the smell of gasoline on my hands if I’ve been using it to wash the grease off some grimy parts, or the smell of diesel if I’m not paying attention when I fill the tractor and it overflows a bit onto the hood.

Then there’s the odour from the ink pen when I’m making ear tags for the calves in the pickup.

Of course, I do open the windows to ventilate those unhealthy smells.

They don’t even wrinkle up their noses when we’re hauling manure out of the corrals, spreading it out on the fields and adding some natural nutrients to the pastures.

That’s why we were so surprised when my wife and I got dressed up to go to a film festival in Bismarck. The kids were going to see one of their favourite old babysitters while we went to see the films and attend a later event.

We had just shut the doors on the car when our eight-year-old said, rather indignantly, “Why does it always stink in here when you guys get dressed up to go somewhere?”

In his mind, he was trying to figure out the correlation between Mom and Dad getting all gussied

up and the smell in the otherwise neutral smelling habitat of the family car.

We both laughed when we realized what he was talking about. I guess we don’t wear perfume and cologne that much in our daily ranch life.

However, splash and sprinkle a little of that on for a night on the

town and it was more than his youthful sniffer could bear in the confines of the car.

I’m not sure if “stink” was a word used to market either her perfume or my cologne, but that’s the new descriptor we’ll be thinking about the next time we get dressed up.

And we’ll know the opinion of at

least one member of our family, who ranks the offense of the “going-totown” odour somewhere beyond the bearable things like horse sweat, manure spreading and spilled diesel.

DuPont buys microbiome firm Company seeks edge in the emerging biologicals market with new foliar and soil applications (Reuters) — DuPont is buying a California-based microbiome discovery company for development of biological crop products, a move that the chemical and crop company hopes will give it an edge in an emerging agricultural market.

DuPont’s announcement did not disclose how much it is paying for Taxon Biosciences Inc, but said the 15-year-old company brings a “broad intellectual property estate” that will contribute to new DuPont seed treatments, and foliar and soil applications for row crops, fruits and vegetables.

The company said it will start testing biological discovery leads identified by Tiburon, Calif-based Taxon this year. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter.

DuPont executive vice-president Jim Borel said in an interview that he expects new products in the company’s biologicals pipeline to start hitting the market within about five years.

Borel said the biologicals market is growing rapidly “and it’s an area where science can

JIM BOREL DUPONT EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT

make a real difference.”

DuPont expects demand in Europe, North America and Latin America, Borel said.

Wilmington, Delaware-based DuPont’s move is the latest in a string of acquisitions and expans i o n s by t h e w o r l d’s l a r g e s t agrichemical companies to harness microbes, plant extracts and other natural substances to try to better control pests and improve plant health, quality and yield.

They have long been the subject of exploration and analyses by scientists for use in human and plant health. New technologies have sped up the process.

Rival Monsanto Co. has 500,000 test plots on farms across the Mid-

west this spring, analyzing microbial strains. Bayer AG, Syngenta AG and a roster of other companies in the agricultural seed and chemicals business are also racing to roll out new biological products for plants.

Experts peg the market at roughly US$2 billion today with an expected annual growth rate of 10 to 15 percent.

DuPont’s purchase of Taxon is aimed at boosting its reach into biological products for agriculture, but the company already has business units developing such things as probiotics for human health, enzymes and proteins for industrial applications and animal feed, and inoculants for agriculture.

DuPont reaped more than $1 billion in biologicals sales last year.

Industry leaders have said biological-based product offerings have the potential to dramatically increase the number of bushels farmers coax from their crops.

Improvements are forecast not just for corn and

beans, but wheat, canola, cotton and fruits and vegetables.

The move coincides with concerns from consumers and environmentalists, and increased regulatory rigor, over the effectiven e s s a nd ef f icienc y o f so m e genetically engineered crops and agricultural chemicals that many U.S. farmers rely on.

The more natural biological solutions face fewer concerns and regulatory hurdles, according to agricultural experts.

Borel said that while new biological products for crops could reduce demand for some existing agrichemicals, others would be complementary.

“This is giving farmers more options,” Borel said.

Some companies are working on offerings that are sprayed on seeds to wash off into the soil and protect the crop from pests, reducing the need for insecticide applications.

Others say they are building microbial applications that will make crops grow better with less water or less fertilizer.

U.S. investment in biofuels stall (Reuters) — U.S. government delays in rolling out renewable fuels policy for 2014 and 2015 have stymied some US$13.7 billion in investments and have prevented advanced biofuels companies from meeting mandated target volumes, says an industry group analysis.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s slow rulemaking on the Renewable Fuel Standard program has “chilled” an influx of capital needed to boost commercial production, according to industry lobby group Biotechnology Industry Organization.

MONEY SAVING OPPORTUNITIES

Farmers, corporations reap benefits from federal budget TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

individuals aged 71 to 94 (though will stay at 20 percent for those aged 95 and above). At age 71, the minimum withdrawal will be 5.28 percent, at age 94 it will be 18.79 percent, and it will remain the same at age 95 at 20 percent. These minimum withdrawals are down from the previous range of 7.38 percent at age 71 to 20 percent at age 94. As Canadians work longer and are earning other income into their later years, this will add flexibility with tax and retirement planning.

The change will be phased in gradually, going down half a percent each year until 2019.

The government is also considering increasing what kind of business activity can be considered under the small business deduction. These proposed changes provide more incentive for incorporated farming operations to keep money in a corporation, or to incorporate for the first time.

However, the budget extends this until 2021, meaning more tax deferrals available for farmers in these coops.

IPO LISTING

China’s COFCO could transform grain trade LAUSANNE, Switzerland (Reuters) — The global agricultural trading community could soon see a new dominant player.

COFCO, China’s state-run grain trading company, is planning to list within three to five years.

In just over a year, COFCO has invested US$2.8 billion to transform itself from a procurement operation into a global agricultural trader, via joint ventures with Noble Group Ltd’s agribusiness and Dutch grain trader Nidera, after taking substantial stakes in the companies.

“This should be not a Chinese, but a global company...the IPO will help us to achieve this standard,” COFCO chair Ning Gaoning said at the FT Commodities Global Summit.

Ning told Reuters COFCO’s plan would be to list all of COFCO’s, Noble’s, and Nidera’s agricultural assets together.

Its overall objective would likely be to rival the “ABCD” quartet of companies — Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus — that dominate agricultural commodity trading.

“People ask me: are you going to be a buyer or a competitor in the future?... I think we will co-operate, sometimes we will compete,” Ning said.
