GETTING UNPLUGGED

Oat, canola groups show how farmers can forge strong relationships WINNIPEG BUREAU

Farmers can work closely with industry and maintain a strong, independent voice, say farm leaders within the oat and canola industries.

Western Canada’s nascent wheat grower organizations are split on how and whether to work with processors, marketers and other parts of their crop’s value chain.

However, the oat and canola industries say they are examples of how farmers can work with industry.

“Producers have to get past the point of thinking that these guys (in industry) are making money off them,” said Bill Wilton, one of the founders of the Prairie Oat Growers Association.

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Wheat and barley groups from Canada’s four western provinces have developed a plan to make sure farmers get the most out of the money they invest in cereal breeding.

Bill Gehl, chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, says provincial cereal grain commissions want to maximize the returns that farmers receive from the check-off revenue they put into wheat and barley breeding and varietal development.

He said the commissions have been meeting since late 2014 and have recently hired a consultant to look at options available to farmer investors.

Options could include an independent farmer-owned cereal breeding program, which would give producers significant proprietary control over new seed varieties that are produced.

JRG Consulting of Guelph, Ont., is expected to produce an interim report this summer and a final report later in the year outlining options that could be followed.

“I’m not sure how many options (the consultant) will be coming forward with, but certainly I don’t think anything is off the table at this point,” Gehl said.

“At this point, we just want to make sure that there’s a good farmer funded option going forward.”

Gehl described the initiative as a historic step that will give farmers more control over the seed products that their check-off dollars help to create.

Groups involved in the initiative include the B.C. Peace River Grain Industry Development Council, the Alberta Wheat Commission, the Alberta Barley Commission, the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission,

CONTRACT DISPUTE

Beet plant closure possible as impasse continues Growers say the issue is about domination of the market

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Lantic (Rogers) sugar beet processing plant in Taber, Alta., was under threat of closure May 11 as the company and Alberta Sugar Beet Growers remained at an impasse regarding the 2015 contract.

Gerald Third, the growers’ association’s executive director, said the company “has taken an extremely aggressive negative position” and has attempted to circumvent the board by contacting growers directly.

In a May 9 letter to producers, Lantic president Ed Makin said sugar beets had to be planted this week if a 2015 crop is to be available for processing.

“However, unless an agreement is in place by 12 noon on Monday, May 11, 2015, Lantic Inc. will begin the process of securing its sugar requirements for our customers from other sources.”

A spokesperson for Lantic did not return calls confirming that position by press time later in the afternoon of May 11.

Lantic’s final offer was rejected by growers at a May 4 meeting and since then, the growers’ association has made counter offers, said Third.

“We’re still negotiating with Lantic,” he said May 11.

“If they don’t want to negotiate, that’s fine. We’re not chasing them.

We have a position put forth for our growers and it’s in Lantic’s court.

“We’ve offered to lease the plant, buy the plant or toll process sugar if they can’t function, but it’s not about that. This is completely and totally about domination of the market.”

Lantic is a publicly traded company that operates the only sugar beet processing plant in Canada. The Taber operation employs about 120 people full time and is a major employer in the town.

Beet fields like this may become a rare sight this year if Lantic and Alberta sugar beet growers fail to reach an agreement. | FILE PHOTO Lantic also has refining operations in Vancouver and Montreal.

Kristin Stronski, who has worked at the Taber sugar factory for almost 17 years, said employees are feeling the stress of an uncertain job future.

“It’s hard to get motivated to do what I’m supposed to do,” she said May 11. “Ninety percent of the time I love coming here. I’ve worked hard to get where I am here.”

Stronski was the first woman to be hired full time at the factory’s mill and is now the process foreman. Her spouse is also a long-time employee at the plant, and she is worried on his behalf as well as older workers who have as many as 35 years invested in the job.

“I hope we, ‘the little people,’ are being considered when the growers and the company are arguing over the almighty dollar,” she said.

“Who doesn’t want more money?

Right now, I just want a job to go (to) every day that has supported my family over the years.”

The current contract between Lantic and the growers association expired at the end of 2014. Negotiations on the new contract started in February.

Manon Lacroix, vice-president of finance for Lantic, said last week that if no contract is signed, the Taber plant would process remaining inventory and then there would be no reason to continue operating.

The growers association is overseen by the Alberta Agricultural Products Marketing Council.

Council chair Bruce Beattie said May 11 that its role is to ensure that the association follows regulations regarding communication with growers.

“We’re still hopeful that they will be able to reach an agreement,” said Beattie.

He said the council has asked the board to call another meeting with growers to ensure all are informed about the current state of negotiations and offers.

“Hopefully, they will follow that directive,” said Beattie.

According to the growers association’s correspondence with its members, some growers are attempting to plant a crop “in defiance of the regulations.”

It urged growers “to remain united and resolute in their position and allow the board to negotiate an agreement regardless of outcome.”

Third said negotiations involving the Trans-Pacific Partnership are a factor in negotiations. It is unclear whether Canada will be part of any

deal that is reached, but if it is, Third said Lantic would be able to import partially refined sugar, process it and re-export it as Canadian product, a proviso called regional cumulation.

“Lantic is staking the position that they don’t need beet sugar. They can get it from a foreign source, which we think is tied to regional cumulation,” said Third.

In its own letter to sugar beet producers, Lantic said it supports a five-year agreement, with 22,000 acres contracted for 2015 and a minimum of 18,000 acres in subsequent years.

It has offered payments “similar to the 2012-2014 agreement.”

That agreement does not contain changes sought by the growers association. barb.glen@producer.com

CANADIAN MEAT COUNCIL

Federal government pursues new rules for temporary foreign workers OTTAWA — The federal government now agrees that other solutions are needed to solve the chronic labour shortage in the Canadian meat processing sector.

“In the meat industry in Canada, it is what we would more accurately characterize as a permanent labour shortage that needs to be addressed by a permanent solution,” Steven West, director of Employment and Social Development C a n a d a’s Te m p o r a r y Fo r e i g n Worker Program, said at the meeting held May 7-8.

His department is working with the meat council and Canadian Agricultural Human Resources Council to understand new requirements for importing workers as well as encouraging them to look more closely at a Canadian dominated workforce.

A company’s workforce can now

FROM OTTAWA Calgary-based Western Producer reporter Barbara Duckworth reports from the Canadian Meat Council annual meeting.

comprise no more than 30 percent of temporary foreign workers, and that level will be reduced to 20 percent in July and be capped at 10 percent next year.

One solution is to work with provincial nominee programs and convert those workers to permanent residents.

The meat industry has requested that butchers and meat cutters become eligible immediately for inclusion in the express entry pro-

gram, which applies for permanent residence for skilled workers in managerial jobs, professional positions and skilled trades.

Provinces and territories can also recruit people from this program through the provincial nominee program to meet local labour market needs.

The Temporary Foreign Worker Program came under scrutiny in 2011 when the government wanted to make sure the jobs held by import-

ed workers were genuine and people were treated fairly.

“In many industries other than yours, that can be more of a concern sometimes,” West told the meat council.

The Canadian meat processing sector has repeatedly told government it needs permanent employees to fill jobs across the country.

“Our industry has always been an industry of immigrants. We are always trying to hire Canadians first, refugees, aboriginals, youth, but there is always about 1,000 vacancies in the industry,” said Arnold Drung, president of Conestoga Meat Packers in Ontario.

The board cited lost opportunities to add more value to meat products because packers do not have the staff. As more trade opportunities open up, packers may not be able to

take advantage because there will be no one to do the specialized work required to fill orders from new customers.

Not having a full complement of workers slows company growth, and long-term planning is difficult, said Guy Baudry of Hylife Foods in Manitoba.

“Many of us exhaust our local opportunities, but we as a company are dependent on foreign recruitment and immigration program,” he said.

Money is not the issue, said Ray Price, president of Sunterra Meats in Alberta. Wages are higher than minimum wage and exceed what is offered for similar work in the United States.

“Our top skilled guys are $20 plus with good benefits packages,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

REPORT EXAMINES FUNDING OPTIONS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, Winter Cereals Manitoba and the Saskatchewan Winter Cereals Development Commission.

The Western Grains Research Foundation is also providing support for the initiative.

Cam Goff, chair of Sask Barley, said recent changes in the research funding environment will likely see farmers playing a larger role in breeding and varietal development work.

Agriculture Canada is expected to gradually reduce its involvement in the development and commercialization of new cereal varieties.

There is a general recognition that producer contributions to agricultural research in Canada are lower than those in many other major grain producing and exporting countries.

If Canadian producers are going to be asked to “step up to the plate” and

play a larger role in funding agricultural research, then they should be assured reasonable control over the products they create.

“Will we partner with private industry? It’s possible, certainly, if we see a benefit to it,” said Goff.

“But everybody’s pretty positive about making sure that the farmers control this.”

Goff said a final consultant’s report containing two or three options is expected from JRG Consulting in December.

Participating grower groups will then consider the recommendations and consult with growers before deciding a future course of action, Gehl added.

“There’s been no decisions made so far, so I think it’s fair to say that the heavy lifting is yet to come.” brian.cross@producer.com

FARM GROUPS PARTNER WITH INDUSTRY, STAY INDEPENDENT » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “That’s the nature of business.”

Brett Halstead, president of the Canadian Canola Growers Association and a member of the Canola Council of Canada board, said canola growers regularly remind the industry that it needs farmer support.

“They know that if farmers aren’t doing well (with canola), they’ll grow something else, or go to cattle or elk or something,” said Halstead.

That’s been the case with the canola council’s goal of producing 26 million tonnes of canola by 2025. In both years of farmer Terr y Youzwa’s recently concluded term as canola council chair, he regularly reminded the industry that it needed to make the crop attractive to farmers or its goals would never be reached.

“It starts with enticing growers to plant the crop,” Youzwa said in March during his address to the canola council annual meeting.

On a recent early May morning as he took a break from seeding as a light rain fell on his farm near Nipawin, Sask., he noted that farmers have more cash clout than many realize, which makes their support a hot commodity.

“They’re much more well-funded than they were (in previous decades),” said Youzwa of checkofffunded farm organizations.

“They are a source of capital. They have capital to invest … and there’s a higher level of respect because they can contribute. They are sought after.”

Farmer-controlled commodity organizations have become more important as government funding of research and market development has lessened, say farmers involved in the canola and oat industries.

Research is now a high-tech, expensive business and often relies on multiple sources of cash. Check-off money gives farmers leverage when it comes to picking industry priorities.

That’s why Bob Anderson, a longtime oat grower, oat promoter and POGA representative with the Western Grains Research Foundation, wants to see prairie wheat organizations pool their dollars the same way oat organizations have always done.

“They should be able to put that

together and make the best use of farmers’ money,” said Anderson.

“It would be in their best interests to have some coming together because what I don’t want to see is three separate research silos across the West to do some serious research. We’re embarking on some very expensive (research) and a changing world in crop development, and I would not want to see farmer check-off money diluted.”

The elimination of the Canadian Wheat Board’s marketing monopoly created the basis for the new checkoff-driven commissions.

Oat growers were always focused on creating a cross-prairie organization and finding creative ways around the provincially based structures with which they had to deal.

However, the wheat commissions are politically split between a rightof-centre approach in Alberta, a leftof-centre approach in Saskatchewan and a mixed approach in Manitoba.

Whether they can ever form a united front such as POGA, let alone a farmer-industry combination such as the canola council, is a big question mark.

Wilton has resisted pressure for all cereal grain organizations, including oats, to merge into a cereals council, fearing oats would be drowned out by the interests of wheat. However, he said it’s vital for farmers to find a way to maximize their ability to promote the overall industry while maintaining their ability to forcefully advocate for farmer interests.

It’s a tough balance, but can be achieved, as oats and canola have demonstrated.

“We’re here to do the best we can for our constituents,” said Wilton. ed.white@producer.com

BUSINESS MERGER

Monsanto set to press ahead with Syngenta take-over plans Deal would create industry behemoth if Monsanto increases its offer (Reuters) — Monsanto has not given up on a proposed takeover of Swiss rival Syngenta, a source close to Monsanto said May 8 after its US$45 billion offer was rejected.

The company is still working on the deal and could decide to increase its initial bid, which valued the firm at $480 a share on the Swiss Stock Exchange. That was 36 percent premium to the May 7 closing price.

A deal would give Monsanto, which dominates the market for seeds and genetically modified crops, access to lucrative crop protection chemicals and create an industry behemoth with combined sales of more than $31 billion.

Syngenta rebuffed the cash-andshares offer, saying it undervalued its prospects and didn’t fully take into account regulatory risks.

However, the company doesn’t consider the deal dead, according to another source familiar with Syngenta.

Monsanto, which earlier confir med it had made an offer, declined to comment on whether it would improve the bid.

Meanwhile, major investors in Syngenta said they were confident a deal with Monsanto would come off if the U.S. firm upped its initial $45 billion bid by at least 10 percent.

“Monsanto is likely to come back relatively soon, and not with a modest price,” said a third source, a banker who has worked with the U.S. company in the past.

Monsanto may need to pay a premium of up to 40 percent to Syngenta’s shareholders to make the deal attractive, the banker said.

To ease antitrust concerns, it may also team up with an industry partner to acquire Syngenta’s U.S. seeds business because the two groups are already seen as market leaders in the American seed industry, according to the first source close to Monsanto.

Monsanto foresees strong benefits from a takeover of Syngenta, which makes heavy research and development investments in crop technology to increase the average productivity of crops such as corn, soybeans, sugar cane and cereals.

The U.S. firm, meanwhile, is

focused on conventional and biotech seeds and last year raised its R&D spending to $1.7 billion from $1.5 billion in 2013.

“There is a clear strategic logic to a deal,” an industry source said.

“Syngenta is the only available target in crop protection. It’s no wonder Monsanto continues to circle the company.”

Other large providers of crop chemicals, such as BASF, Bayer and Dupont Pioneer, aren’t seen as sellers and have diversified their operations in areas that are less relevant for Monsanto, the banker said.

However, Monsanto could seek to strike an alliance with the likes of Bayer and BASF and place a joint bid in an effort to ease “draconian antitrust scrutiny,” the banker added.

“The production of seeds is a concentrated industry,” said Andre Barlow, an antitrust expert at Doyle, Barlow and Mazard PLLC. “Both (companies) overlap in crop protection and seeds and there is a lot of R&D in this space, which would raise additional concerns,” he said.

ALBERTA ELECTION

Alta. NDP majority: now what?

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

SEEDING

So far, so good for Alta. seeding Some producers worry soil could quickly dry out without timely rains but so far, conditions are ideal

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Amid nearly ideal Alberta seeding conditions this spring is the niggling worry about dry soil conditions.

Farmers in south, east-central and north Peace River regions report dry surface conditions but enough lower moisture for seed germination.

“In the last four or five years we’ve had fairly soggy springs and this one is not, so people are starting to get a little concerned,” said Alberta Agriculture crops specialist Harry Brook.

“There’s no real urgent emergency yet. There’s good soil moisture in a lot of areas below one and two inches, so there’s enough to get germination.”

Below average snowfall across much of the province has resulted in fewer sloughs and potholes to impede field work, but farmers planning shallow-seeded crops may want to wait for rain, added Brook.

“It’s drier than we’re used to, but this is not something we haven’t seen before. I do recall those phrases, ‘plant in the dust and your bins will bust.’ ” However, he noted that didn’t hold true in 2002, for example, when there was no appreciable rain until August in much of the province.

Brook said pastures and hayland are not doing well across much of the province because of low moisture and generally cooler weather. Rain

will be needed before the end of the month to keep them healthy.

“Especially when you’re talking about grasses and perennial crops, they really need that early season moisture to get them set up to be productive for the summer,” he said.

“It’s early yet. I don’t think it has impaired their opportunity for the rest of the summer, but if it carries on like this until the end of May, it’s going to definitely affect the amount of hay we have available.”

Irrigation systems in southern Alberta have been charged, and some farmers are irrigating earlier than they normally would. Seeding is almost complete in the region, compared to 50 percent province wide.

Kevin Auch, who farms near Carmangay, Alta., said last week that knolls are dry but lower spots have reasonable soil moisture Greg Bowie, who ranches near Ponoka, said his region is dry and the benefits of snow that fell in mid-April were lost to wind.

“We need a substantial rain,” he said, noting pastures were dry heading into w inter and remain so because of lower than average snow.

Heather Kerschbaumer of Fairview said there was reasonably good moisture there, but conditions are dry to the north at High Level and La Crete. barb.glen@producer.com

It’s been more than a week since Albertans shocked the rest of the country and replaced the Progressive Conservative government with New Democrats.

With few voters willing to believe the polls, Albertans were amazed on election night as they watched the ridings pile up for the NDP and the PCs almost eliminated after 44 years in government.

When the votes were counted, the NDP, led by Rachel Notley, won 53 seats, the Wildrose 21, PC 10, Liberals 1 and the Alberta Party 1.

The once mighty PC party started the election with 70 seats, while Wildrose, under new leader Brian Jean, increased from three following a mass defection of 11 members to the PC before Christmas.

Before the night was over, premier Jim Prentice resigned as PC leader and as MLA for the riding he had just won. Ric McIvor has been named interim party leader.

Notley, the charismatic leader of the NDP, caught fire with voters early in the election, asking Albertans to vote for change. They started the campaign with four sitting MLAs. “I think we may have made a little bit of history tonight,” she said during her acceptance speech May 5. “I believe that change has finally come to Alberta.”

Notley becomes the province’s 17th premier and its first NDP premier.

The NDP didn’t just win ridings in its stronghold of Edmonton. It also won 11 rural ridings and 13 in Calgary. The party also won all the smaller city ridings of Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge.

The PCs won only two rural ridings: Grande Prair ie and Ver milion Lloydminster. The PCs popular vote dropped to 28 percent from 44 percent in 2012, the Wildrose popular vote dropped from 35 percent to 24 percent and the NDP popular vote increased from 10 percent to 40 percent.

Voter turnout was the highest in 22 years at 58 percent, up from 41 percent in 2008 and 54 percent in 2012.

After 44 years with the same government in Alberta, it will take time for Notley to be sworn in as premier and appoint her cabinet. A team will start work immediately to create a new budget and highlight the party’s priorities and election promises.

A new budget will likely be introduced in early to mid-June and the legislature could sit into late June or July.

Jean has promised to work with Notley on issues they agree on, such as eliminating corporate and union donations to political parties.

Liberal leader David Swann was re-elected in his Calgary riding but is the only Liberal left in the legislature.

As well, Greg Clark became the province’s first Alberta Party MLA. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Good malting prices may hike barley acres

Oilseed sector eager for biodiesel mandate

Analysts expect the biggest barley crop since 2009, despite information refuting rumours that maltsters are desperate for supply

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers must have been in a secretive mood when they told Statistics Canada how much barley they were going to seed this year.

The official estimate calls for 6.4 million acres of the crop.

“I think they’re out to lunch,” said Rod Green, owner of Central Ag Marketing, a grain broker specializing in malt barley.

“It’s more like around 7.5 million acres, which I’ve been predicting over the last three months.”

It is the same number that grain industry analyst Greg Kostal is forecasting, which would be a 28 percent increase from last year.

If they are right, it would be the biggest barley crop since 2009, which is a good thing because last year was a disaster in terms of yield and quality.

“We seem to be getting back up to some more sustainable acreage,” said Green.

New crop prices for malt barley have been appealing compared to other crops, with malting companies offering to pay $5.40 to $5.50 per bushel at the bin.

That has reignited farmer interest in the crop, with most of the acreage increase occurring in Saskatchewan.

There have been reports that maltsters are running out of malt barley and will be desperate to secure supplies right off the combine this fall, but Green, who deals with five malting companies, said that is false.

“In actual fact, all the maltsters today are pretty well full. They’re not really looking for any more. They’ve got enough to take them through harvest,” he said.

They were able to compensate for poor germination and extensive chitting in the 2014-15 crop by relying on carryout from the previous year, lowering their quality specifications and importing product from overseas.

Ron Volpi, vice-president of supply

Fuel blenders have been without a standard volume obligation since 2013

with Rahr Malting, agreed that supplies are not as tight as some people think.

“I believe everybody has enough to go until the new crop is available,” he said.

“I know that we have enough and we will slowly start bringing in new crop as it comes available. That wouldn’t be too different from what normally happens.”

He believes there will be ample supply in 2015-16 and is forecasting a 15 percent increase in Canadian barley acres. However, he acknowledged it could be higher because of the recent weakness in wheat prices.

“I don’t know if that will make people swing from wheat to barley more at the last minute. That could happen,” said Volpi.

“I would say it’s likely that some last minute barley acres will pop up.”

Green doubts that will happen because seed growers are essentially sold out of good quality malt barley seed because of last year’s germination and chitting problems.

“For the last three months you have not been able to find a bushel of certified (CDC) Copeland barley,” he said.

Green said malt barley prices are good, but feed barley prices are not, so growers are taking a big risk when they try to grow barley for malt.

Maltsters typically buy about one million tonnes of the crop, and grain companies export another million tonnes. That leaves more than five million tonnes to be sold as feed.

Feed prices may be stronger than last year at this time but are not attractive. They are depressed because of the small number of cattle in Canadian feedlots and low corn prices caused by excess U.S. production in 2014-15.

The feed price is about $4 per bu. delivered to Lethbridge, so the spread between malt and feed barley is much more than $1.50 per bu.

Oilseed markets could get a muchneeded lift once the United States establishes long overdue biodiesel blending requirements in the coming weeks.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has committed to releasing its Renewable Fuel Standard volume obligations for 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 by June 1.

The volumes were supposed to be released by November 2012. Fuel blenders have been operating in a void through 2014 and half of 2015 because of the lengthy delay.

The standard established a one billion gallon floor for blending biodiesel, and the EPA is responsible for adjusting that volume each year based on a variety of factors.

The last time that happened was 2013 ,when it established a biodiesel mandate of 1.28 billion gallons.

Ben Evans, spokesperson for the National Biodiesel Board, said the industry has essentially been put on h o l d w h i l e i t aw a i t s t h e E PA’s announcement.

An EPA plan that called for increased biodiesel mandates through 2017 would inject lifeblood into the biodiesel sector and the soybean and canola industries that supply it with feedstock.

“If we get growth in the RFS, it will clearly be healthy for biodiesel producers as well as feedstock suppliers,” said Evans.

“The biodiesel industry is a great market for those oils, and you would see very healthy markets.”

The biodiesel board estimates that 54 plants have been idled or shut down over the last couple of years.

“The lack of policy is the most pressing concern, and the reason those plants are no longer operating,” he said.

Evans said the biodiesel sector has been hit harder than ethanol by the absence of fuel standard volume obligations.

It is a much smaller and younger sector than ethanol, and there is no relief in the form of export demand.

CORN PREDICTIONS

Will tighter stocks lift corn prices Agrium researcher expects prices to strengthen but an analyst cites an overall ‘commodity deflationary cycle’

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

North America’s leading crop input provider believes corn and other grain and oilseed prices will be stronger in the second half of 2015-16.

Jason Newton, head of market research for Agrium, is forecasting a “pretty significant decline” in the U.S. corn stocks-to-use ratio, which bodes well for prices.

His analysis is based on a forecast for 88.5 million acres of U.S. corn, a trend line average yield of 165 bushels per acre and flat demand for the crop.

It results in a stocks-to-use ratio of 11.5 to 12 percent, down from the estimated 2014-15 ratio of 13.4 percent.

“In recent history, when you’re at a stocks-to-use ratio of 11 to 12 percent, in that range, you do tend to see higher prices than where the market is currently,” said Newton.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE U.S. biodiesel used to be shipped to the European Union, but tariffs have become too high.

By contrast, the U.S. ethanol industry shipped 836 million gallons worth $2.1 billion to international markets last year, helping offset the sluggish domestic demand.

The list of idled biodiesel production facilities includes Archer Daniels Midland’s canola biodiesel plant in Velva, North Dakota, which buys

The ratio would drop below eight percent if growers planted only 87.5 million acres of corn and the average yield fell to 160 bu. per acre, which would be extremely supportive for corn prices.

It would be a return to the levels witnessed from 2010-11 to 2013-14, when the average corn price was $4.46 to $6.89 per bu.

Newton said that is not out of the question because it has been dry in the western corn belt and the northern Plains, where plenty of corn is grown.

The dry conditions have been ideal for seeding, but yields would drop below the trend line if it stays dry during July and August and turns hot during pollination.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is forecasting that dry weather in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota will persist or intensify through the end of July.

Kent Engelbrecht, biodiesel trade manager for ADM, recently spoke about the impact the delay is having on the sector at a news conference hosted by North Dakota senator Heidi Heitkamp.

“With favourable economics and a reliable RFS, 2014 was poised to be a break-out year for biodiesel, until the 2014 RVO (renewable volume obligation) intervened,” he said.

“And with the subsequent expira-

Arlan Suderman, senior market analyst with Water Street Advisory, has almost identical numbers as Newton.

He is forecasting 89.2 million acres of corn, an average yield of 165 bu. and an 11.3 percent stocks-to-use ratio, but he disagrees with the forecast for higher prices.

“I still have a price (average) that is a little bit lower for the marketing year than the current year, though, because we are overall in a commodity deflationary cycle,” he said.

“Keep in mind that this past year, the price is also a little bit higher because some farmers sold early at higher prices before they totally plummeted.”

Suderman agreed that corn prices would likely rise in the second half of the year, even though the average price for the 2015-16 marketing year may be lower.

He is forecasting 1.55 billion bu. of carryout, which is a 41-day supply.

December corn futures prices take out the spring high in 90 percent of the years when projected ending stocks are below a 50-day supply.

Newton’s acreage forecast is below the 89.2 million acres that growers told the U.S. Department of Agriculture they would seed in the March 31 Prospective Plantings report.

He was initially thinking it would be closer to 87 million acres because of wet conditions in the southern and eastern U.S. “But over the last couple of weeks

we’ve had really, really rapid planting progress in the western corn belt and central corn belt, which is where the bulk of the acres are,” he said.

That caused Newton to move his estimate back up to 88.5 million acres.

His average yield forecast of 165 bu. per acre is below the USDA’s projection of 166.8 bu. but higher than the 164 bu. estimate put out by Scott Irwin and Darrel Good, agricultural economists at the University of Illinois.

The professors based their trend line yield estimate on data from the 1960–2014 period.

They believe the USDA’s trend line calculation is flawed because it starts in the drought year of 1988 and uses an approach that assumes with certainty that there will be average weather and planting progress this year.

tion of the biodiesel tax credit, we were forced to cease or slow production at all our facilities, including Velva.”

The biodiesel tax credit he referred to is a $1 per gallon blender’s tax credit that expired Jan. 1.

The U.S. Congress has a habit of reinstating the tax credit toward the end of the year and making it retroactive for the entire year.

Evans said that is frustrating for the biodiesel industry because it is hard to plan for growth when it is uncer-

tain whether the tax credit will be in place, especially when combined with the lack of fuel standard volume obligations.

“Those two things together have really undermined the industry and made it hard for producers to survive,” he said.

Evans believes the tax credit will eventually be reinstated, and once biodiesel producers can see what fuel standard volumes the EPA has established through 2017, he thinks half of the idled plants will start up

production again, creating a new source of demand for canola and soybean oil.

Engelbrecht said the industry requires that certainty before it can run at full capacity and make further investment in plants.

“We believe the market can get back on track, but it needs a clear signal from EPA that it can count on a reliable, consistently growing RFS,” he said.

Keep in mind that this past year, the price is also a little bit higher because some farmers sold early at higher prices before they totally plummeted.

ALBERTA FARM GROUPS

Election brings opportunity HEDGE ROW

ED WHITE

A

lberta’s farmer-funded organizations can grasp a golden opportunity with the end of the Progressive Conservative reign and the beginning of the NDP era.

These organizations shouldn’t see it as an opportunity to marry themselves to the NDP and its agenda, but rather a chance to develop more independence and self-confidence than was often seen during the fourdecade PC epoch.

For me, a pleasing aspect of having worked in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta as a Western Producer reporter (and at other newspapers before that) has been seeing how different provinces have different farming, political and organizational cultures, structures and practices. Each province has a unique feel.

When I worked in our Camrose bureau in 1996-97, it was odd to find many farmer-funded commodity commissions and organizations but a crippled general farm organization.

I was used to Saskatchewan and Manitoba having strong, indepen-

dent general farm organizations (at the time, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities was essentially a farmers’ organization) but not the plethora of commissions that were present in Alberta.

The weak situation of Wild Rose Agricultural Producers (now the Alberta Federation of Agriculture) was surprising. Some farmers grumbled about an apparent deliberate government policy of dividing farmers into small, commodity-based groups rather than having to deal with them as a united front. WRAP didn’t get much respect from the Alberta government at the time.

The previous year, a special report on this subject by Ottawa correspondent Barry Wilson had annoyed the A l b e r t a g ov e r n m e n t , a s I w a s informed by the agriculture minister’s office on arriving in Camrose.

Then and in the decades since, many Alberta organizations, both in agriculture and rural affairs, seemed unusually solicitous of government approval and seldom seemed to criticize government policies or put the provincial government on the spot publicly for something that farmers needed done.

That degree of restraint did not seem to be shared by organizations to the east, where Saskatchewan and Manitoba groups regularly embarrassed provincial governments that failed to address crucial farmer concerns.

Perhaps the Alberta situation was

just a function of each organization being small and focused on the minutiae of its specific commodity.

Or perhaps it was fear of offending the government.

The latter possibility is understandable in a province where the government never changes.

If the present party in power is almost certainly going to be the government after the next election, and the ones after that, then getting along with it is critical.

However, the collapse of the PC government and its replacement by an NDP majority and Wildrose official opposition demonstrates that this might no longer be the case.

That’s the opportunity for the various farmer organizations. They can assert some independence and inform, publicly and privately, the new government on what farmers need.

A government such as the Alberta NDP, with no farmers in its caucus, might be receptive to hearing farmers’ independent views more than a dynastic government confident of its permanent success.

Farmers don’t need to fear they’re forever stuck with the government they’ve got today, and the government can’t assume it’s always going to be there.

That’s good grounds for an open, confident relationship between farmers and government. ed.white@producer.com

Statistics Canada has estimated total canola stocks of 7.039 million tonnes as of March 31. | FILE PHOTO OILSEEDS

Canadian canola stocks should support crop price MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

A

fter a bout of weakness in March, oilseeds have rallied to trade in the same range they’ve been in for most of 2015. .

It is hard to know what, if anything, will dislodge canola from this range.

The oilseed enjoys support from t h e St at i s t i c s Ca na d a s e e d i n g intentions report, which showed farmers planned to seed 19.42 million acres, less than what the trade expected.

However, things could change there because farmers usually seed more canola than they think they will in the spring.

The final November crop report showed that canola acreage was significantly higher than what was expected in March in four of the years between 2010 and 2014. Only in the wet year of 2011 did canola acreage fail to reach the March intention.

Using the average of the gains in the four years, which was five percent, we could expect a final canola area of 20.4 million acres this year.

However, that is not necessarily a burdensome number.

Last week’s Statistics Canada March 31 crop stocks report showed canola stocks a few hundred thousand tonnes less than the trade expected.

Year end stocks could be around 1.2 million tonnes, down from the current Agriculture Canada forecast of 1.45 million tonnes, so that too is supportive.

Using the ending stocks forecast of 1.45 million tonnes shows a stocksto-use ratio of 8.7 percent. If ending stocks fell to 1.2 million tonnes, the ratio would be 7.2 percent.

That is significantly better than the current ratio of U.S. soybean yearend stocks to use, which is about 10 percent.

However, the current strength in the Canadian dollar is working against canola prices. Thanks to rising crude oil and a bit of a stumble in first quarter U.S. growth, the loonie has rallied to about US83 cents from about 80 cents at the beginning of March.

However, many analysts think the U.S. economy and currency will rally in the second half of the year, pressuring the Canadian dollar lower again.

The rapid pace of seeding in Western Canada and the U.S. Midwest is weighing against the price of canola and other crops. An early seeded crop should flower before the heat of summer, and that is usually good for yields.

On the other hand, there has been little rain in southern Alberta and southern Manitoba this spring.

However, Environment Canada’s three month May-July forecast sees an elevated chance for above normal rainfall in southern Alberta.

This has evolved into a “on the one hand this, but on the other hand that” type of column, which is always a danger at this early point in the growing season.

To stick my neck out, I think canola could stay toward the upper end of its usual relationship with soybean prices, but a serious price improvement would require major growing problems in the U.S. soybean crop this summer. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

WHEAT TRADE

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

Colombia improves access

HOGS RISE

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada has removed a major trade impediment with its fifth largest wheat customer.

Colombia has agreed to remove phytosanitary import restrictions that were making Canadian exporters antsy about shipping product to that market.

The country’s plant protection organization no longer requires Canadian wheat shipments be certified free of dwarf bunt disease and other types of seeds.

Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said the agreement puts Canada on equal footing with other exporters, such as the United States and Argentina.

“We can pursue the opening up of that market. It is really good news.”

Colombia is already a substantial buyer of Canadian wheat, ranking fifth behind the U.S., Japan, Indonesia and Peru.

The country bought 1.07 million tonnes of Canadian wheat last calendar year. They were worth $335 million, which is up from $209 million in 2013.

Dahl said Colombia is a growth market that is hungry for wheat, and Canada will now be better able to service the demand.

“I do expect over time that we’re going to see significant increases in shipments to Colombia,” he said.

Canada has a free trade agreement with Colombia that came into effect in 2011, but it didn’t resolve the phytosanitary issue.

Dahl said it was a serious trade impediment, which caused Canadian wheat ships to be held up in port last year.

“It was really difficult to try to carry on doing business shipping wheat to Colombia,” he said. “It was significantly increasing the risk.”

He credited embassy officials, the Canadian Grain Commission and the industry for pressuring the government to change its regulations.

Dahl said the agreement could have a ripple effect with other countries in the region.

“They have a tendency to follow some of Colombia’s regulatory initiatives, so it’s an important country.”

CANFAX REPORT BASIS SOARS TO RECORD

FEEDERS VARY ON QUALITY

Fed prices edged slightly lower with the Canfax steer average at $201.45 per hundredweight and heifers at $199.87.

Dressed sales were $337-$338 delivered in light trade.

The Alberta fed cash to Chicago futures basis strengthened to a record shattering high of +$20.31.

With the record basis and stronger Canadian dollar, American buyers did not attempt to compete for western Canadian cattle.

Feedlot managers were unwilling or unable to book new fed contracts while the futures market failed to align with the lucrative cash market.

Market-ready supplies are current as strong prices pull cattle forward.

Feedlots are trying to maximize feeding potential and improve profit by leaving cattle on feed longer.

Alberta fed prices should remain well supported.

Feedlots and packers in the United States were at a standoff last week.

There were a few dressed sales in the north at US$257 per cwt.

The western Canadian calf and feeder indexes fell on tighter supplies and varying quality.

Some producers sorting their grass inventory are marketing the heavy cattle instead of turning them out on grass.

The stocker market is seasonally picking up momentum.

The 650 lb. steers class often sets first half prices highs in May or June, but they are trading $10 lower than their mid-April highs of $308.50 per cwt.

Some areas in Alberta and Saskatchewan are dry, which has slowed interest in buying cattle to put on grass.

The Canadian dollar has risen. A one cent move in the Canadian dollar can account for roughly a $5 per cwt. swing in feeder prices.

Southern Alberta feed barley bids have pulled back from recent highs, but prices remain seven percent higher than in February.

COW SUPPLY TIGHT The western Canadian cow kill fell to 3,700 from 5,000, the smallest kill this year, which reflects seasonally tight non-fed supplies.

D1, D2 cow prices have averaged $147-$148 per cwt. over the past three weeks. D3 cows last week averaged $130.10.

Butcher bulls were steady at $167.56, $3.50 shy of the record set at the end of April.

Cow-calf producers are current in their marketing, and supplies are anticipated to remain manageable.

Hamburger demand should be solid through the May long weekends in Canada and the U.S. There were reports of increased dairy cow slaughter, but U.S. boner cow prices held steady with a weighted average of $215.50 cwt. dressed.

Tight supplies of market-ready hogs pushed cash hog prices sharply higher.

U.S. domestic pork demand is doing well, but exports were down almost nine percent in March.

Packers are losing money on these stronger hog prices and might slow their slaughter lines to restore profitability.

The average live slaughter weight of barrows and gilts in Iowa-Minnesota was 282 pounds two weeks ago, down five lb. from a year ago, said a report from the University of Missouri.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$58-59 per hundredweight May 8, up from $52-$53 May 1.

U.S. hogs averaged $77.86 on a carcass basis May 8, up from $73.91 May 1.

The U.S. pork cutout rose to $79.57 per cwt. May 8, up from $73.86 May 1.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to May 9 was 2.111 million, down from 2.159 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.007 million last year at the same time.

The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.10-$4.20 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.

ELK REPORT The elk industry has emerged stronger after the difficult years following chronic wasting disease and BSE with a farmed herd at least 50 percent more suited to and capable of antler and meat production, says the Canadian Cervid Alliance.

Temperament and reproductive performance are also dramatically improved.

An average adult bull once produced about 18 pounds of velvet antler or 360 inches of trophy antler per year. Now those averages are closer to 26 lb. and 400 inches.

The heaviest bulls in the past couple of years produced more than 60 lb. of velvet and scored more than 600 inches, the alliance said.

Limited supply has stimulated buyers to raise prices for antler. Velvet antler from the 2014 harvest season fetched an average of $42 per pound, with select pieces up to $50. Prices for 2015 look similar.

Trophy bulls averaged $4,600 last summer, with the top end at more than $20,000. Most trophy bulls were exported. Demand is steady to strong, the alliance said.

Elk meat was a limited product in

the markets before 2002.

In the process of downsizing the herd, large volumes of quality meat were made available to processors, distributors and consumers at attractive prices.

Like a loss leader strategy, this introduced many people to the taste, texture and healthy nature of elk meat.

Prices have crept up, and now demand exceeds supply.

The latest prices offered by Canadian processors are up to $4.20 per pound hot carcass weight delivered to southern Alberta, and U.S. processors are offering $3.80 hot carcass weight picked up at the farm.

Sale averages for 2015: Semen per straw ranged $300-$850 to average $473.

Bulls born in 2012-13 ranged $2,500-$3,600 to average $3,200.

Females born in 2013-14 ranged $1,200-$4,000 to average $1,993.

Adult bred cows ranged $1,400$2,900 to average $2,254.

Male calves born 2014 ranged $2,500-$7,000 to average $3,354.

Females born 2014 ranged $1,100$4,500 to average $2,012.

Private treaty sales for elk females have ranged from $500 to $5,000 in 2014 and 2015 and elk males from $2,000 to $20,000.

LAMBS STEADY Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,003 sheep and lambs and 39 goats traded May 4.

All good sheep and lambs sold steady. Goats continue to sell in premium ranges.

U.S. BEEF RISES U.S. Choice cutout last week was US$257.58, up 68 cents, and Select was $245.84, up $1.79.

Canadian boxed beef prices for the week ending May 1 were C$311.50 per cwt. for AAA, down $3.01, and $308.55 for AA, down $3.36.

The Canadian cutout has traded at par to a premium over the U.S. market in recent weeks.

The AAA enjoyed a $1.52 premium over Choice, while the AA’s premium over Select was $11.94, the most since July 2009.

CRAIG’S VIEW

ALBERTA POLITICS

Understanding of agriculture should be among NDP priorities

P

igs were flying all over social media May 5 as Albertans reacted to the newly elected New Democratic Party majority government.

The premise was that, if an NDP government can get elected in the province thought to be the most right wing in all of Canada, then surely pigs could also fly.

“Orange crush” and “Notley Crue” quips were also rampant, as were ponderings from many Albertans about moving to a more “right wing” Saskatchewan to avoid four years of economic ruin at the hands of rabid socialists.

Over-the-top comments are understandable, given many Albertans have never known anything but a Progressive Conservative government.

Now reality has set in. Albertans await the new government’s first moves, and those in the agriculture business are as attentive as anyone, save possibly those in the oil and gas sector because of a potential royalty review.

Few of Alberta’s new NDP MLAs have direct experience with agriculture, and most of them were elected in urban areas. Four of the province’s five largest cities elected full slates of New Democrats, as did 14 (or possibly 15, pending a recount) of Calgary’s 25 ridings.

Forty-five of the new government’s 54 MLAs are from urban or primarily urban ridings.

That strong urban representation in government gives rise to worries about how well its members will understand agricultural issues and respond to them.

It is well documented and long lamented in rural Alberta, and indeed across the Canadian agricultural sector, that many urban dwellers have little understanding of farming, ranching and modern production methods.

Wildrose, the official opposition, captured seats in most of rural Alberta, so it will be incumbent on those MLAs to ensure farming interests are explained and protected.

Farm groups should also be more willing to

make requests and voice criticism now that the two-headed hydra of cronyism and the old boy’s club has been dispatched.

New blood in the legislature also means new ideas and approaches, which will be welcomed. As always, they’ll have to be analyzed on their merits, not just on their novelty.

What are the NDP’s agricultural policies?

There are four items listed under that heading in campaign literature, right there on page 20 of the 23-page document.

They include plans to conduct a review of federal rail and transportation policies, strengthen landowners rights to fair compensation and due process, support farmers’ rights to save and sell seed and eliminate barriers to local food production for small producers.

To be fair, there are limits to campaign literature about policy. Doubtless there is more to the NDP agricultural plan than a few points in a brochure, two of which fall into the federal realm.

For example, recognition of agriculture as a factor in diversifying Alberta’s economy would be welcome. So would recognition of the sector’s reliance on domestic and international trade and the resulting need for policies to foster it. Improved access to labour is another issue needing attention.

The new NDP government has much work ahead, and that work will be undertaken knowing that rural residents are more wary of parties that are left of centre. This is true in all three prairie provinces, for various reasons.

Look no further than Manitoba’s NDP government, heavily influenced by an urban electorate, which used farmers as scapegoats for environmental problems.

We will expect better from Alberta’s new government. And so the work begins.

FOOD SAFETY

Health minister calls claims of CFIA staff cuts ‘grandstanding’ CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

I

f federal health minister Rona Ambrose had one message she wanted to make clear in her recent testimony at the House of Commons’ health committee, it was this: there have been no cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

None. Nada. Zip. “There are absolutely no cuts. I understand the president of the union says there are cuts, but the president of the CFIA has said there are no cuts,” Ambrose said, referring to CFIA president Dr. Bruce Archibald, who was seated two seats over on her left.

Funding levels for the agency are at record levels, Ambrose said, and Canada’s food safety system is the

best in the world.

“We have enough inspectors,” she told the committee, adding that Agriculture Union president Bob Kingston “is wrong ” and that “actual experts” have backed her statements about there being no cuts.

Ambrose’s repeated insistence comes as CFIA staffing levels continue to snag headlines across the country, bolstered by union findings and department leaks that say there are not enough inspectors to do the agency’s required work.

The latest complaints of inspector shortages emerged in March, when the Agriculture Union held a news conference in Edmonton. There, reporters were given copies of heavily redacted documents obtained by the union under access to information that showed the agency’s labour crisis had led to reductions, effective Jan. 5, in meat inspections of readymade processing plants in northern Alberta.

While inspection levels for meat destined for the United States have been maintained, the agency has

reduced its daily presence in registered domestic processing establishments, which affects 66 percent of the region’s processing plants.

Ambrose denied those reports in the House, where she accused the union of making “inaccurate and irresponsible” claims. She continued to stand behind those comments, even after iPolitics obtained complete, unredacted documents that backed the union’s claims.

The internal documents show the CFIA has conceded it “is not able to complete work as per program design” when it comes to meat hygiene inspections in northern Alberta because of tight finances and a shortage of six inspectors. According to the documents, daily inspections and tasks such as sanitation inspections have been cut.

In an email, CFIA told iPolitics those documents were simply “a contingency plan” and that no cuts had been made.

More staff shortages were later reported in Quebec, where Kingston said every federal meat inspection

team in the province is understaffed, leading to fewer inspections at meat plants.

Again, Ambrose insisted that the reports of CFIA cuts were nothing more than union “grandstanding,” repeatedly making reference to a Conference Board of Canada report that ranks Canada’s food safety system as number one out of 17 Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development countries, a point she raised repeatedly while testifying at the health committee May 7.

That talking point failed to impress opposition MPs, who peppered Ambrose with questions about Canada’s food safety system, demanding to know why it was not a federal priority.

The fact that Canada’s food safety system is the safest in the world “doesn’t wash,” given the current reports of cuts, said Liberal health critic Hedy Fry. She also questioned “the level and quality of training” that food inspectors receive in Canada, while NDP MP Isabelle Morin demanded answers on the shortage of CFIA staff in Quebec,

which Ambrose denied.

Ambrose accused Morin of doing “the bidding of the union leader” in a heated exchange between the two women, in which Ambrose remained steadfast in her insistence no cuts had been made.

Archibald, meanwhile, insisted morale within his department was at an all-time high, telling the committee a recent employee survey found 90 percent of the department’s staff were “proud” of their work and 95 percent were “prepared to go the extra mile.”

The survey’s response rate was 82 percent, he said.

This, despite an anonymous Alberta inspector who recently told iPolitics that morale within the agency “is in the toilet,” and there simply weren’t enough inspectors to do the work.

As for the number of inspectors, Archibald stressed that the agency “always has enough inspectors to cover needs.”

WHAT GOES WHERE?

Time for Trans-Pacific Partnership is now

BY BRIAN INNES

T

he Trans-Pacific Partnership is the biggest game in town for Canada’s agricultural and food exporters. And after five years of negotiations, a deal is finally in sight.

A recent commitment by U.S. president Barack Obama and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe showed that a deal is close.

With Japan and the United States at the epicentre of this mega-regional free trade agreement, the remaining dominoes will fall into place once they agree.

Some have highlighted what others are seeking from Canada, but the importance of the deal for Canada, and Canada’s agri-food exporters in particular, should not be underestimated.

Canada’s agricultural industry is one of the most trade-dependent agricultural sectors in the world. The country exports $50 billion a year in agricultural and agri-food products, which is more than half of everything we produce. It means that more than 90 percent of Canada’s farmers depend on exports, as well 40 percent of the food processing sector.

The TPP will preserve and maintain Canada’s place in an integrated North American economy and boost access to the rapidly growing AsianPacific economies of Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore.

And then there’s Japan, the crown jewel of the TPP. It’s a premium market that demands $4 billion per year in Canadian agri-food products, which is 10 percent of Canada’s total agri-food exports.

Japan is the largest predictable market for Canadian canola seed, the

Can you imagine an export-based country like Canada being outside a trade agreement that gives our global competitors preferred access to one

90 %

OF CANADIAN FARMERS DEPEND ON EXPORTS of our highest value and most stable markets?

With all of these possibilities, it is clear that this trade deal has broader benefits than any before it. It includes an unprecedented number of Asian-

Pacific countries and could expand disciplines to cover 21st century trading realities and set the tone for a regional trading block that other countries are already lining up to join.

However, we’re not there yet. We still need the 12 member nations to come to a final agreement that will allow Canadian agri-food exporters to secure and expand a market of 800 million customers that take 65 percent of our exports.

As talks near conclusion, Canada must act quickly to secure comprehensive and equal market access to TPP countries. It’s an historic opportunity that is more important than any country’s domestic political timelines. We cannot miss this critical window of opportunity.

Being left on the sidelines of a trade deal that covers 40 percent of the world’s economic output is not an option. To remain a significant contributor to the economy, Canadian

agriculture needs the TPP. Most of all, Canada needs to be fully engaged in the negotiations to ensure that its exporters attain the same access to markets as exporters from other TPP countries.

The signal is clear. The world is moving toward a future of free trade, and the time is now to take a step forward. Canada must actively champion this or we will lose a once in a generation opportunity.

We owe our farmers, ranchers, producers and exporters the chance to freely compete and grow markets, on an equal footing, with our international competitors.

There is no more time for waiting, and no such thing as the status quo.

Now is the time for governments to be bold and stand up for the future of Canadian agriculture.

FARM POLICY

New government needs farm connections HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

S

cary policies are often implemented when a government has few connections to mainstream agriculture. That’s the fear in Alberta with the unexpected win by Rachel Notley and the NDP. Among the elected NDP members, there’s nary a farmer to be seen.

Whoever becomes the new agriculture minister will have only a tenuous connection to agriculture.

There will be no shortage of groups and organizations lining up to give the new government agricultural advice. Unfortunately, a left of centre government is likely to give more credence to the left-wing voices, including environmental groups,

Packaging stories in print and online

who purport to know what is best for farmers.

Notley’s campaign platform on agriculture was scant.

Support for small Alberta brewing, value-added agriculture and food processing was mentioned, but there were no specifics. In another part of the document, there’s a pledge to work with small producers to eliminate barriers to local food production and marketing.

Local food production and marketing are fine as far as they go, and that stance will be popular in many urban circles, but mainstream agriculture is the true economic driver.

The platform promises a strengthening of land owners’ rights for fair compensation and due process in surface rights issues. On that issue, the NDP could win some friends within agriculture if it proceeds prudently. Of course, it also risks further alienating the energy sector.

The platform also contains the strange promise to stand up for farmers’ rights to save and sell their seed.

Farmers have never had the right to

sell seed of proprietary varieties.

With the passage of Bill C-18, Canada has joined UPOV 91 which strengthens plant breeders’ rights, but the ability of farmers to retain and reuse their own seed is protected.

Notley and her advisers were probably influenced by the fear-mongering of the National Farmers Union on that campaign plank.

Although there’s no mention of the supply managed sectors in the NDP campaign material, one can assume that an NDP government will be a strong supporter of the status quo within the dairy and poultry sectors.

If push comes to shove in Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations, Canada could be pressed to make changes in supply management to gain preferential trade access in other commodities. With an NDP government at the helm, Alberta is likely to oppose that course of action.

Manitoba and Ontario of examples of a lack of agricultural representation within government resulting in bad policy.

In Manitoba, the NDP government

placed unreasonable restrictions on hog barn expansion. In Ontario, Kathleen Wynne’s Liberal government is placing severe restrictions on the neonic seed treatments.

The same worry exists in Alberta.

Where will Notley get her advice? The bureaucrats within the department will try to be a steadying influence, but a new government with rookie cabinet ministers will be prone to missteps. If they let left-wing philosophy, anti-trade sentiment and overzealous environmental protection rule their decision-making, Alberta farmers and farmers across the country could be adversely affected.

An NDP win in oil country once seemed unthinkable. By comparison, an NDP win federally this fall now seems plausible. This could also be a government with little representation from mainstream agriculture and therefore prone to ill-conceived policies.

I

recently watched the 2011 documentary film Page One: Inside the New York Times.

What intrigues me about this film is the Page 1 decision-making process.

The front-page meeting was a stodgy affair of about a dozen people, led by then executive editor Bill Keller.

Later in the film, that is contrasted by an official from Gawker, an online aggregator site, explaining that its front page is a live display called “The Big Board” that shows which stories were getting the most hits.

And thus lies the debate between print and online “click-bait” sites: The latter says they’re just giving people what they want, while the former weighs what they believe would be popular with what is an important story.

At The Western Producer we hold considerably smaller, yet more colourful, front-page meetings (we shoo the flies off the wall). News editor Terry Fries, myself and art director Michelle Houlden get together on Wednesdays to get an early take on what might make the front page for the following week.

Michelle then considers what would make appropriate art, be it a photo accompanying a story, a standalone photo or a graphic illustration. We meet again on Friday afternoon and Monday morning to discuss page one.

We do have access to Google Analytics, which provides live updates on what’s being read online. And while sometimes the story lineup on front page matches the online big numbers, we also try to place an important story on the front that won’t necessarily have the same appeal online.

We try to offer a good mix. The front page on May 7 offered an educational story (research into fusarium resistance), a good personal story (how Quill Lakes flooding is affecting farmers) and a timely story (we looked into a much-discussed Wired magazine columnist’s claim that farmers don’t own their John Deere tractors due to software patents).

Online, the flood story was easily the most popular, with more than 15,200 page views. The other two stories didn’t make the top 10.

While the latter two print stories wouldn’t fit the Gawker model, we try to match our front-page lineup with our goal of helping farmers run a business, and keeping on top of new developments. Some of that isn’t sexy — or click bait — but it’s how we keep things growing in ag journalism. brian.macleod@producer.com

Re: Kevin Hursh’s column “Diversification requires labour, capital, marketing” (WP Mar. 26).

Thanks, Kevin, for telling it the way it is. There is finally a bit of money in some areas of agriculture, products such as lamb, goat, beef, etc. Yes, they are a lot of work.

I have been diversified for 38 years.

I’m looking back and there has been only a few good years in the livestock business. We have raised sheep and cattle all this time. BSE and drought up here and other areas put a lot of people out of business for good.

Plus, we almost lost a whole genera-

tion of our young people. They saw what was happening and what a struggle we were having and wanted no part of it. I worked in the oilfield 10 years to pay off old debt, plus seeded canola for cash crop to survive. I met a lot of people in the oil field that had quit livestock in this time, plus their children gone also.

It looks good right now. Hopefully it stays good for a while. Some are already thinking it can’t end. Good times. Bred cows are selling high. If you can afford to buy, do the math first. Two years of good does not make up for many break-even or negative ones.

NOT MY VOTE To the Editor: I found myself puzzled to read the opinion of Kevin Hursh (WP column Apr. 2), who writes, “Most prairie farmers could not envision ever voting for anyone other than the Conservatives.”

How does he know that? Will they really vote for the bunch that has sliced, diced and mutilated the West?

AG DICTATORSHIP To the Editor: Re: Front page article “Have farm groups become federal cheerleaders?” (WP Mar. 26) We, I have been told over the decades, live in a democracy and when we have as many farm groups as we do there should always be a number that have different opinions.

I can understand if we resided in a communist dictatorship that there would be the exact situation we have with our somehow neutered organizations.

Over the past decades, no matter what the agriculture issues were there would always be for and against organizations plus a number scattered between the two extremes.

In our society today, if you want to stifle opposition, throw a huge sum of money directly or indirectly at it. If we have farm organizations, where do they get their funding? How much and from where — totally from the farmers, or what percentage comes directly from the government or big business?

If funding is 51 percent or greater from farmers, then that organization is truly a farmer organization. If the funding is 51 percent from government(s) or big business, then that organization is not a farmer organization.

I suggest that funding amounts for our so-called farmer organizations be researched. Are they actual farmer organizations or are they puppets, and to who?

This whole agriculture industry has somehow gone from democratic to dictatorship in the past decade.

It seems to me that Kevin Hursh’s anti-climate change views (WP April 16) are doing farmers a disfavour.

Contrary to Kevin, climate scientists do not blame every epic winter or flood on climate change. What they do say is that the trends are towards more severity and more frequency of such events.

For example, when you have oncein-a-100 year weather event now happening every few years, doesn’t that change how we have to respond to weather events?

Once upon a time, farmers would save money and time by ignoring once-in-a-100 year events, because they were unlikely to happen in their lifetime. Now that has changed.

It is now prudent for farmers to look at increased measures to improve the weather-proofing of their operations.

For example, with increased rains and the likelihood of more severe rains, how is the drainage of your fields? What reasonable steps should you undertake now? Do you have buildings in low lying locations that could be moved to higher ground?

With the increased probability of more severe droughts, perhaps now is a good time to upgrade your dug-outs to greater capacity. And so on.

Kevin tells us that climate scientists can’t tell us what the weather will be next month or next year.

From what I have seen from weather forecasts in my lifetime, is that nobody can with any certainty. But we can predict trends and probabilities (that which is most likely to happen).

Take the example of here in southwestern Saskatchewan, a region known for its dryness, since 1990, we have had more years of above normal and way above normal rainfall than not. And this was predicted by climate change models.

Around the world, there have been winners and losers as the climate has shifted.

Quill Lakes flooding spawns differing opinions from posters PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

T

here’s always a bit of mystery as to why one story “takes off” in social media while another doesn’t. This week, I think a powerful aerial photo may have helped boost one story’s wild popularity.

The story is the flooding taking place near the Quill Lakes in east-

central Saskatchewan, specifically how it’s affecting the farm of Ron Laybourne near LeRoy, Sask.

WP reporter Brian Cross, who is originally from the Naicam area, was familiar with the flooding situation near the Quill Lakes. In the course of his research, he interviewed another local farmer, Jason Friesen, who happened to have taken a ride in a helicopter to assess the flooding. Friesen had taken some photos during his ride (see link at the end of the colunn).

One photo in particular, a farmyard reduced to an island off Highway 6, really captured the severity of the flooding situation.

A reader identifying himself as Mike had the following to say:

“Well, thanks to the Sask Water corporation’s inability to do a damn thing. The province of Saskatchewan now loses millions in revenue and these affected farming families lose even more in hope.

“If we just had a plan to move our water to the south, where farmers can use it, a system paid for by the excess money hoarding railways and yes, I hate to be the devil’s advocate here, but a tax on all of the heartless ditching farmers.

“The landscape of the Prairies, when seen overhead, shows that it has the natural ability to hold this water, but when thousands of farmers ditch every year to make their land more profitable, this is what will happen.

“Yes, Mother Nature is a big contributor here, but no more than the farmer. I really can’t blame the farmers for wanting to increase their bottom line, but they need to be held accountable.”

Others, like the reader identifying himself as “thundergun,” were a little more callous: “You bought land by a lake. Nature will retake what it wants when it wants. Cut your losses and move on.

It’s all you can do until the water subsides in 10 or so years, and even then the ground will be far too salty to farm. So move on.”

HOGS APLENTY To the Editor: The head of Maple Leaf Foods, Michael McCain, is asking for more hogs and workers to sustain the second shift at Brandon’s slaughter plant (Slaughterhouse drive, Winnipeg Free Press April 16).

He refers to raising pigs as an industry and claims there is a need for another 175 hog barns in Manitoba.

Ho g f a r m i n g h a s b e c o m e a n industry. Why then is it not regulated as an industry and subject to environmental assessment?

A barn is defined as a farm building used for housing and sheltering animals. The hog complexes referred to as “barns” are factories designed to manufacture animals for meat processing for export.

In 2007, there were 1,400 hog producers. Now there are 575. Why are 175 new barns needed when so many are sitting empty?

Most empty barns are in eastern Manitoba where land is overloaded with nutrients from hog factories.

New factories should not be allowed in western Manitoba, relocating environmental problems there.

Hog industry reports show that enough Manitoba pigs are raised now to fill a second shift. McCain could buy them and no new barns are needed if he was willing to pay producers selling pigs elsewhere, enough to induce them to sell to his company instead.

Temporary foreign workers are relied upon, as few domestic workers will work there. Improving working conditions is the realistic solution.

A second shift can operate under existing conditions with a few changes, without further environmental, public and worker subsidies. That’s the cost of doing business.

TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP TALKS

U.S. under internal pressure to complete Pacific trade deal

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — While pressure is growing on Canada to negotiate supply management compromises with the United States, that country is feeling a lot of internal pressure to complete a Trans Pacific

Partnership agreement.

The superpower sees a successful TPP as both an economic and strategic priority, according to the U.S. chief agriculture negotiator.

“If we don’t do this, others will,” said Darci Vetter in a meeting with North American agriculture journalists April 27.

“We need to stay in that game and make sure we’re getting access to these markets.”

Vetter said China would like to set the trading rules for the Asia-Pacific region, so if the U.S. wants Americanpreferred rules instead, it had better complete something like the TPP. “If we don’t, our other key competi-

tor in that region, China, is waiting and willing to do the same.”

Vetter said the U.S. has much to gain from TPP for agriculture trade because “the United States has a relatively open agriculture market.… We don’t have that far to go.”

Canadian supply management controls have been an ongoing bone

of contention between U.S. and Canadian governments, and U.S. congressional agriculture leaders and agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack recently demanded Canada begin negotiating better access. ed.white@producer.com

ONTARIO REGULATIONS

Farmers stand up for seed treatments

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

Researchers believe changes in how wheat is blended may be a factor in the changing profile of Canadian exports. | FILE PHOTO GRAINS

Researchers studying grain quality in new marketing environment Officials respond to reports of reduced quality in exports

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new research project could help the prairie grain industry answer pressing questions about the quality of Canada’s wheat exports.

Researchers Harry Sapirstein and Paul Bullock from the University of Manitoba are leading a multi-year project that hopes to learn more about how the environment affects the development of wheat proteins and protein quality, specifically gluten strength.

It is expected that the research will shed light on some of the factors that have caused concerns over the quality and consistency of Canadian milling wheat.

Sapirstein said environmental conditions in Western Canada and changes to the grain marketing system since 2012 have had a noticeable impact on the quality of the country’s Canada Western Red Spring wheat exports.

“The importance of environmental factors (on the quality of exported wheat) has increased substantially,” said Sapirstein.

“The handling system does not blend off environmental factors anywhere close to what it used to.”

Concerns over the quality of Canada’s CWRS wheat exports became more common in 2012, just as the Canadian Wheat Board’s grain marketing monopoly was being removed and private sector grain handlers were beginning to export grain in the country’s newly deregulated wheat market.

Sapirstein said the rationale behind the research was to address industry concerns “in regard to deficient gluten strength and most definitely variable gluten strength in shipments of Canadian Western Red Spring wheat.”

Sapirstein said the project will comprise five sub-studies and involve numerous collaborators, including many of Western Canada’s most respected wheat breeders and cereal agronomists.

One of the sub-projects is a weather-focused study that looks at how environmental conditions affect the production of wheat proteins and gluten strength.

The weather-related study will include nine trial sites — three in each of the three prairie provinces — and nine CWRS varieties at each site, ranging from Harvest and Unity on the low-end of the gluten scale to Glenn on the high end.

Similar studies conducted more

than a decade ago showed that weather can have a profound impact on wheat quality, even on fields that have been managed identically.

“When we did similar work more than a decade ago, what we found was that even a normal variation in weather that produces good quality wheat … can create a profound range of protein,” Sapirstein said.

“We were getting protein content ranging from 11 percent all the way up to 16 or 17 percent, so we want to have a much more careful look at that aspect, only this time with a broader range of genotypes and a broader range of trial sites and locations.”

Another sub-study examines the potential impact of using fungicides to control fusarium head blight and glyphosate as an in-crop dessicant, which are two common crop management techniques in Western Canada.

“We know that the application of fungicides at anthesis for fusarium head blight control, and certainly the use of glyphosate as a harvest aid, affects the grain development period and the synthesis of proteins … that eventually form the basis of wheat gluten, Sapirstein said.

“We want to have a closer look at that because it has never been studied before.”

A third sub-project will examine gluten strength variability in four or five common CWRS varieties based on samples received from commercial grain growers across the West.

Sapirstein said as many as 250 commercial wheat growers could participate in the project over each of the next three years. brian.cross@producer.com

DRESDEN, Ont. — Their provincial government’s shoot-from-the hip response to neonicotinoid seed treatment concerns may be just the tip of an anti-farmer iceberg, according to Grain Farmers of Ontario.

Chief executive officer Barry Senft made the comment in response to recent statements by Ontario environment minister Glen Murray.

“It doesn’t seem he’s satisfied with just this one issue,” Senft said.

“There’s no reason to believe the minister can be this misinformed by accident. He isn’t interested in the reality and impact of these regulations but rather a broader agenda on modern agriculture.”

A spokesperson for Murray said the minister’s office will not comment on the assertions but is looking forward to working with the farm organization in the future.

The province has announced it wants to put clothianidin, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid seed treatments for corn and soybeans into a new pesticide category, Class 12. The new category is more restrictive, requiring farmers to meet a list of protocols.

Senft pointed to comments made

by Murray at the Organic Council of Ontario annual banquet in Waterloo, Ont., April 24 and earlier at one of the consultative meetings set up to deal

with the neonicotinoid issue.

Judging from those comments, Senft said other pesticides could be targeted by the ministry, including glyphosate.

Senft also took exception to Murray’s praise for the organic sector. At Waterloo, Murray said organic management helps reduce greenhouse gases.

Conventional farmers have also taken strides in that direction, Senft said.

Newspaper stories concerning Murray’s comment’s at the organic meeting focused on his assertion that the insecticide seed treatments are not delivering their promised yield benefit. Murray cited yield comparison trials conducted in Ontario as evidence.

“It was a little more useful for corn, but not that much. I would say the differences were marginal,” he said.

Senft was unfamiliar with the trials but said it’s been the experience of farmers that the insecticides are providing a benefit.

“It’s not only a yield advantage. It’s also about the quality of soybeans.

It’s better (with the treatments),” he said.

“We’re not using seed treatment just for the sake of using seed treatment.”

Data from the Ontario yield comparison trials have not been made public. Sources with the Ontario Beekeepers Association said the pro-

vincial agriculture ministry and the federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency are involved.

“The PMRA has not requested yield comparison trials,” the agency said.

“Rather, the PMRA is seeking value information from the provinces to help draw a national picture of the value of corn and soybean seed treated with neonicotinoid insecticides.… The results of this request are not available at this time.”

Calls and emails sent to the Ontario agriculture ministry employee who was said to be in charge of the trials were not returned.

Murray said GFO felt blindsided by t h e p r o v i n c i a l g o v e r n m e n t ’s announcement last December that neonicotinoid seed treatment use was to be reduced for corn and soybeans in the province by 80 percent by 2017.

The plan requires farmers to use an integrated pest management approach, prove they need the insecticides and, by 2017, have pest assessments completed by an independent professional pest adviser.

GFO wants the Ontario government to abandon its 80 percent goal, conduct a cost-benefit analysis and return to a dialogue with all stakeholders.

The organization maintains that there is no direct correlation between bee mortalities and neonicotinoids beyond acute exposure.

Members of the Blood Tribe Agricultural Training Initiative finished seeding 4,200 acres of spring wheat, canola and barley May 6.

The 26 tribe members who graduated from a new program organized through Lethbridge College, Red Crow Community College and the Kanai board of education planted the crop as part of a plan to eventually see

the reserve’s entire 205,000 cultivated acres farmed by band members.

Calvin Cross Child, chief operating officer and general manager of the Blood Tribe Agricultural Project, said he is encouraged by trainees’ enthusiasm.

“It may take five, 10, 15, 20 years to farm it all (by band members.)”

He said the Blood band estimates that the farmers who rent the tribal lands collectively earn $50 million a year from cropping.

“We want to bring those earnings home and improve the tribe’s ability to meet the needs of its members.”

There are about 12,000 residents on the Blood Reserve, and 60 percent of them are younger than 25.

Cross Child said the agricultural training project is designed to provide employment and skills training as well as foster economic and social development among Blood band members.

“It’s basically promoting agricultural careers in the schools and providing credit and non-credit training and establishing partners to create jobs on reserve for years to come,” he said.

“The tribe has recognized agriculture as a huge opportunity for growth and job creation, and it’s one of the most abundant resources that the tribe possesses.”

Now that the crop is planted, the trainees are working with people who continue to farm land on the reserve. Cross Child said the farmers been co-operative and supportive of the program.

“They are on board. We are getting good reports.”

The trainees will be assisting with crop scouting, learning to identify weed and insect problems and helping determine proper thresholds for spraying decisions.

Cross Child said he could use 10 more trainee classes of 30 people each once they are available, which he is hoping they will be as the training program continues in future years.

The reserve also has 120,000 acres of grazing land, which supports about 7,500 head. As a result, a natural beef operation could also provide employment opportunities.

In addition, there is a timothy hay operation, a seed potato business and one of the largest land tracts under irrigation, with 25,000 acres supported by 104 centre irrigation pivots.

Cross Child said the current trainees will be encouraged to continue their agricultural studies once this crop is off. If they don’t, they may find employment with the agricultural project.

The program and the band’s strategic plan relies heavily on teachings from tribal elders.

“I could never say enough about the elders,” he said.

“They have taught us, they have shown us how we respect the land, Mother Earth, how we respect the water and the environment. They are crucial.” barb.glen@producer.com

NEWS ACQUISITION

Finning buys Caterpillar dealership

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Family owned Kramer Ltd. has been sold.

Finning International Inc. of Vancouver announced last week that it would buy the operating assets of the Regina-based company’s Caterpillar dealership for $230 million. The deal is expected to close by July.

Tim Kramer, who managed the company for the last 23 years, said the family is retiring after 70 years in the equipment business.

Last year, the company announced it was leaving the agricultural equipment business. Kramer previously had distributed Lexion combines, Challenger tractors, RoGator and TerraGator application equipment and Bourgault seeding and tillage equipment.

“It’s just time,” Kramer said of the sale after a news conference May 6. “We’ve had a very successful company.”

His grandfather, Robert Kramer, founded the company in 1944. It grew to include 475 employees at nine Saskatchewan locations and last year generated about $275 million in revenue.

Finning also began as a family company, in 1933, but is now publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It is the world’s largest Cat heavy equipment dealership with 14,000 employees; 5,200 of those are in western Canada.

Kramer said he expects all current employees in Saskatchewan will remain employed. Incoming Finning Saskatchewan vice-president Tony de Sousa also said the workers would be retained.

Finning chief executive officer Scott Thomson said the new owners would continue Kramer’s commitment to communities. The Kramer family’s philanthropic efforts are well known.

“There is simply a lot to admire about the Kramer family and the Kramer business,” Thomson said.

He and de Sousa said they will rely on the employees to teach them about the Saskatchewan market.

Finning has operations in British Columbia, Alberta and the three northern territories, and the Saskatchewan acquisitions advance its reach.

Kramer said doing business in Saskatchewan requires companies to be close to their customers.

“That’s something we hope that we can teach them how to do. When you’re a family run company in Saskatchewan, it’s just different.”

Regina will remain Finning’s provincial headquarters.

“It’s a strategic investment,” said Thomson. “It’s a significant investment, and it reflects what we see as a significant growth opportunity in Saskatchewan.”

Finning will serve agricultural customers with Cat products, he added.

“We’re going to do that also in Alberta and B.C., by the way,” he said.

“This is not a Saskatchewan specific comment. Getting closer to that customer base is going to be a priority for us.”

Finning may expand into forestry, potash and uranium, Thomson said. karen.briere@producer.com

Elevate your uptime

You can rest assured that when you run a reliable, all-crop, all-condition John Deere baler, that you’ll keep baling long after other balers have called it quits.

How do we do it? The 9 Series feature roller shafts that are a 1/4 inch larger and bearings that are 1 1/2 inches larger than those found on the 8 Series. With an increased shaft size the baler can now handle even heavier loads in the toughest conditions. And the bigger bearings run cooler, last longer, and are more reliable.

Everything about a John Deere 9 Series Round Baler has been designed to raise performance to all new levels, while greatly reducing the chances of downtime.

That’s why more and more hay producers run John Deere Round Balers than any other color baler. And should your baler ever need service, it’s good to know that there’s a local John Deere dealer standing behind you who will get you back up and running.

See your John Deere dealer today about a new 9 Series Baler – and elevate your uptime.

LABELLING CAMPAIGNS

Consumers want animal welfare, health assurances with no added cost Farmers are expected to do more for environment without getting paid more

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — A growing number of food companies are creating private labels with special claims to differentiate their products as healthier and safer for the environment.

“Consumers are increasingly interested not only in where their food comes from but how it was produced.

That creates some information challenges,” said economist Jill Hobbs of the University of Saskatchewan.

There is a trend toward local food, but there is no guarantee it is safer or has a smaller environmental footprint, she told an April 30 Alberta Agriculture Economists Association meeting in Red Deer.

This challenge is pressing farmers to do more, but in many cases no one is willing to pay more, said Darcy Fitzgerald, manager of Alberta Pork.

Canadian pork producers are accustomed to meeting higher standards for traceability, high quality meat and particular product specifications. Much of that high end product is exported to Japan, where those qualities are valued.

“One gets paid for the strengths,” he said.

“Unfortunately, we don’t always get paid in our own country for where we are asked to do all the social licence stuff, but we are getting paid outside the country.”

Canadian farmers may be criticized for the way hogs are raised, but too often the public does not know they abide by environmental regulations, quality assurance programs, animal welfare schemes and worker safety.

Governments set out basic food safety standards, but more companies are developing private programs that set out specifications for suppliers and stipulate certain sanitary standards and specific production standards. An example is the A & W restaurant campaign that offers beef that has not been raised with added hormones or antibiotics.

In some cases, firms join together to create standards expected of suppliers across international boundaries, said Hobbs.

These schemes make it easier to procure raw materials and may limit to whom producers can sell.

For example, the European Globalgap program is a set of agriculture practices to show suppliers what is expected in food safety, worker health and safety, animal welfare and

environment. It is not intended as a consumer signal, but it is an important standard for suppliers selling to the EU. The Red Tractor logo is a United Kingdom scheme developed by producer organizations that outlines food safety and quality, animal welfare, environment and traceability standards. Products for sale at retail earn the Red Tractor logo if they meet the assured food standards.

CanadaGAP, which is offered through the Canadian Horticultural Council, covers firms that produce, pack, store and sell fruits and vegetables at the wholesale level. It is a hazard analysis and critical control points program that includes farm practices.

The retailer driven Global Food Safety Initiative is designed to improve food safety management systems to benchmark existing food safety standards in countries and businesses. The initiative examines programs and determines where they are equivalent.

CanadaGAP has been recognized with equivalent standards to similar programs in other countries. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) — Australian regulators have proposed easing rules on two major grain transportation companies at the Port of Newcastle export hub.

The firms are facing tepid demand as dry weather curbs wheat production.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) recently proposed exempting Newcastle Agri Terminal and Qube Holdings Limited from regulations that oblige Australian port operators to grant access to rivals for the export of bulk commodities.

The commission has said the rules are not needed because of an increased number of ports in northern New South Wales.

The latest proposal comes after the watchdog exempted GrainCorp Ltd. from similar regulation in October at a nearby port.

CHRISTINA CIFUENTE AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION AND CONSUMER COMMISSION

“The ACCC considers that the level of competition and spare capacity at the Port of Newcastle means that, even if exempt, NAT and Qube will face sufficient incentives to provide fair and transparent access to wheat exporters,” said Cristina Cifuente, commissioner at the Australian watchdog.

Port competition has increased across the Australian east coast, but dry weather has limited the production of wheat and reduced demand for port access.

WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS

SCHOOL LUNCH

Obama garden promotes health Vegetables and fruit are used by the president’s family and for White House receptions

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Nothing tastes better than a cherry tomato.

Presidential dogs Bo and Sunny don’t need convincing, but as the well-behaved presidential dogs sniff their way around the White House garden, they avoid the temptation of digging up the plants and seem to patiently await the weeks of sun, rain and warmth needed to produce those first cherry tomatoes.

In summer, the Portuguese water dogs race down to the garden, pick one each off the plants and then “they come back up,” said a U.S. Parks Service groundskeeper, who often has president Barack Obama’s dogs at his heels as he checks on the White House grounds.

Part of that duty now involves taking a look at Michelle Obama’s White House Kitchen Garden, the first substantial vegetable garden on the White House grounds since Eleanor Roosevelt’s Victory Garden in 1943. There’s also a beehive a few metres away.

Her garden isn’t just a personal hobby but an attempt to “start a national conversation around health and well-being of our kids and our families,” said an administration official touring agricultural journalists through the garden.

The yard is not huge, but with obesity and poor nutrition now seen as major threats to Americans’ health, Michelle Obama has tried to use it to draw attention to the value of growing and producing healthy food.

The garden now covers 1,900 sq. feet and produces vegetables and fruits that are used in meals for the Obama family and White House receptions.

This day, cooks had been down earlier to pick lettuce and other ingredients for the next day’s state dinner with the visiting Japanese prime minister.

Each year, Michelle Obama brings in American children to help her plant and harvest the garden.

The garden contains plants from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello Gar-

support of pollinator protection efforts. The nearby beehive supplies many of the bees that buzz around the garden.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Barack Obama administration hopes its boost to American school lunch and nutrition programs lasts longer than his presidency.

And while accepting that the hoped-for co-operation between Democratic and Republican politicians has not occurred, causing some programs to become controversial, the executive director of Michelle Obama’s nutrition program, Let’s Move, says there’s reason to believe some of the initiatives will survive past 2018.

“They were built for sustainability.

None of these are one-offs,” said Deb Eschmeyer in a meeting with members of the North American Agricultural Journalists April 27.

“The First Lady is dedicated to this work for the long haul. This is not something that is going to end once they leave Pennsylvania Avenue.

This is something they are truly dedicated to.”

Unlike in Canada, where school nutrition programs are either provincial, civic or within school divisions, the U.S. has had national school lunch programs since the 1940s. That has sometimes allowed school lunches to become national political and partisan issues, as is the case now.

In 2010, the Obama-supported Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act was passed, allowing the U.S. Department of Agriculture to impose tough standards on the nutritional quality of food being provided in school lunches across the country.

The program set standards for food that could be served, encouraged schools to use local food, restricted flavoured and fatty milk and generally made school lunches more nutritious but harder for schools to provide.

APPROPRIATE WEDDING GIFT

Evening out makes good present, shows support for marriage SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Our niece is getting married this summer. She has always been a favourite for both my husband and me. Our problem is that we are not sure what to give her for a wedding present.

Like most young people these days, she and her fiance have been living together for the past few years and they have most everything they need in their home.

I want to go overboard and pay for a honeymoon trip to Hawaii but my husband thinks that is not wise. We can easily afford the trip for them but we also know that neither her parents nor his are able to afford such luxury.

My husband does not want to

outdo the parents or in any way make the family uncomfortable. I can see his point but it leaves me pondering what we can do to help our niece and her future husband celebrate the occasion. What do you think?

A:

An old African metaphor says it takes a community to raise a child. I am more inclined to think that it takes a community to make a marriage work.

In past years, the community got together and ensured a couple received everything they needed to set up their home.

Chances are they had little and were still living with their parents.

The gifts from the community were its way of saying it wanted to support the marriage.

Today, couples have most of what they need but they still need support and caring from both their families and friends to help them remember that their marriage is an important relationship in their lives.

Many couples are isolated these days, often living a distance from

BIG ON WISH LIST A poll of 15,000 brides found many couples’ favourite gifts were big-ticket items purchased by a group of friends or co-workers. The gift was a luxury item they would most likely never be able to afford on their own. Second on the most wanted list were quality kitchen appliances and utensils that are microwave and dishwasher safe.

families and peer groups.

I suspect that the best wedding present you could give them would be taking them out for supper four or five times a year and enjoying one another’s company.

The more that they understand that you care about both of them, the better are the chances that they will resolve those difficult moments that challenge all relationships. That would be a great wedding present.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Some critics have claimed the school lunches are bland, expensive or wasteful, and are an unacceptable imposition on local authorities and schools.

Supporters say the gains in child wellness are great already and the programs’ teething problems can be managed.

Eschmeyer, an Ohio farmer, said the nutritional guidelines shouldn’t be controversial and should survive the end of the Obama presidency, because they are not based on anything particular to the Obamas.

“This is something that is actually not political. This is science. We should be doing what’s right by our kids based off scientific recommendations,” said Eschmeyer.

More than 90 percent of U.S. schools are believed to be meeting the program’s requirements.

Most of the Let’s Move programs are public-private partnerships that have drawn in non-government support because of the grave health

problems developing in the American population. About one in three U.S. schoolchildren is believed to be overweight or obese.

“This is a true epidemic that is costing our society $350 billion,” said Eschmeyer.

“We have to address it by ensuring that what we’re providing in the national schools lunch program is actually healthy.”

While the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act stoked partisan controversy by imposing more federal regulations on local school authorities, food-based controversies are common in U.S. politics because of the greater role of its federal government in food issues than is typical in Canada.

The biggest program operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is the food stamps program, which provides food support for poor families, and that has often resulted in Republican-Democratic splits, politics and rancor. ed.white@producer.com

NATURAL SWEETENER

Deliciously sweet honey also has health benefits TEAM RESOURCES

H

oney is the oldest known sweetener and remains popular today.

A small amount added to tomato sauce and soup balances the acidity.

Adding fresh herbs such as rosemary, lavender, thyme or sage can flavour honey.

It is also delicious drizzled over ricotta or goat cheese and served with crackers. Honey also acts as a dough enhancer when making bread.

Honey does not require refrigeration and will keep a long time, but it may darken with age and crystallize.

Placing the jar in a hot water bath until it returns to a liquid easily reverses crystallization.

Honey is 20 calories per teaspoon (5 mL) while sugar has 15 calories.

However, it ranks higher on the sweetness scale so you can use less.

Nutritionally, honey contains trace amounts of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. It is slower to raise blood sugar levels and is favoured in a diabetic diet. The flavonoids and phenols have antioxidant and antiinflammatory health benefits.

There have been recent cases of fraudulent honey imported from China containing sugar syrup and high fructose corn syrup.

Buy local to be assured of pure, quality honey.

APRICOT JAM WITH HONEY This is my farmers market recipe and it has quickly become popular.

8 c. coarsely chopped 2L apricots 4 c. sugar 1L 1 c. honey 250 mL juice and grated peel of one orange 1/8 tsp. salt 0.5 mL Combine ingredients in a heavy bottomed large pot and bring to a boil.

Cook, stirring frequently until thick, about 30 minutes. Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch (6 mm) headspace. Wipe jar rims to remove any stickiness. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (make adjustment for altitude, if necessary).

Yields about eight cups (2 L).

Couple keen on barley, pulse promotion Sitting on industry commissions allows the Ammeters to raise awareness, improve marketing and ‘influence the influencers’

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

SYLVAN LAKE, Alta. — Joining a commodity group has expanded Mike and Allison Ammeter’s neighbourhood beyond Sylvan Lake to include farmers from across Canada.

Farming in central Alberta, the affable couple wanted to get more involved in their industry.

This past year, Allison became chair of the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission and Mike took over the Alberta Barley Commission.

“The key is, are you interested enough in the industry to go out there and get involved? It is not a matter of do you have the skills, but are you interested,” she said.

The pulse commission supports 5,000 Alberta farmers who grow dried peas, beans, chickpeas, lentils, soybeans and fababeans. The barley commission supports 11,000 farmers who promote coarse grain as feed and food.

Mike has attended barley commission meetings since its incorporation in 1991.

“Once you get off the farm and involved in some of these organizations, you find out what a huge industry this is,” he said.

“Sometimes you feel like you are just a little cog in the wheel and you are insignificant. You get involved and you can influence the influencers. All you have to do is sit at the table and open your mouth,” he said.

Allison volunteered with the pulse commission once their children, Andrew, Nick and Emily, had drivers’ licences and no longer needed her to chauffeur them. She had some spare time and wanted to give something back to the industry.

“I would never have the opportunities to meet these people, go to these places and get involved in these things if I wasn’t on this commission.

I’m getting back more than I am giving,” she said.

“The fact that we can actually make a difference is very rewarding,” she said.

Mike grew up in the area and Allison was from Swift Current, Sask. She was working for the City of Medicine Hat when a friend invited her to a church sponsored event in Sundre where she met Mike.

Central Alberta was a change for someone used to the semi-arid prairie of Saskatchewan. The Rocky Mountains are on display from the kitchen window and the weather is cooler and wetter with fewer frostfree days.

“If you go 30 miles west of here, you are out of farmland,” said Mike, who grows wheat, barley, canola, peas and fababeans.

“We get the last frost in the spring and the earliest frost in the fall,” she said.

During the early years of their marriage, Mike had an off-farm job with a local seed grower and cleaner while still working at home with his father.

After working for 20 winters, he gradually took over the family farm and his father retired.

He descended from a Swiss family that was farming in Georgia in the former Soviet Union. During the Stalinist purges, they had to leave

He was multilingual but could not speak English. He had little money and the land had to be cleared of bush.

Allison’s family came from Brittany in France after seeing Canadian immigration posters advertising the “Last Best West.” They ended up in Saskatchewan and thought they would stay in Canada for 10 years, but the First World War and the Great Depression hit and they never left.

The Ammeter farm has evolved from clearing bush with an axe to a zero till operation adopting new concepts of best practices and agriculture sustainability.

“It is similar to things we always have done but we never defined them or taken a good hard look and talked about what we do,” Mike said.

“I have to do my dead-level best and I am working at this 365 days a year doing a good job,” he said.

“We need to make sure we are telling a good story and if we are not doing it well, make the changes,” Allison said.

This is a strong farming community, but high-end subdivisions and acreages around a growing Sylvan Lake are slowly encroaching on farmland and driving up land prices.

Oil and gas wells are common.

There are no grain elevators nearby, so Mike hauls to Olds or takes barley to a feedlot even farther afield.

ON THE FARM

They are doing research into food barley and nobody would bother with that if all the commissions were together. I think there is a lot to be said for really focusing on one crop type and pouring the research and the agronomics and the marketing into it.

They see their work with commissions as a way to communicate with farmers and consumers about what is involved in modern food production.

Alberta was an early adopter of commissions to support individual commodities by collecting money for research and improved sales.

Sometimes there is talk of forming a super commission but divvying up the duties, funds and priorities might leave some crops at a disadvantage.

“They are doing research into food barley and nobody would bother with that if all the commissions were together. I think there is a lot to be said for really focusing on one crop type and pouring the research and the agronomics and the marketing into it,” Allison said.

After more than two decades of work, barley achieved recognition as a heart smart food and the pulse

commission is promoting legumes as a protein substitute. It is also working with the Canadian Diabetes Association to promote pulses in the diet as a way to control blood sugar.

Around the world, beans, peas and lentils are commonly consumed and becoming more popular in North America.

“The ethnic foods have started to come into the mainstream foods,” she said.

Next year is the international year of the pulse and Allison is chair of the Canadian committee for this event.

Part of the campaign is to adopt the term “pulses” to describe this food group.

Their volunteer work often takes them in separate directions.

Allison travelled to the CICILS World Pulses Convention in South Africa last year and Las Vegas in April.

Mike went to Amsterdam for meetings last year.

Sometimes the commissions work together by holding joint farmer meetings since many are growing a variety of crops.

“There is a lot of cross pollination between the commissions on the director and delegate level,” he said.

The commissions rely on farmer money to do their work to provide producers with more agronomic knowledge and improved sales.

“I am always interested in growing a better crop. That is a very hands on, tangible thing for me,” Mike said.

Allison likes marketing, promotion and opportunities like adding lentil flour to Cheerios or bean puree to pasta.

“To me, those are things that light my eyes up when I hear about the new opportunities,” she said.

If they cannot handle commission work, other board members step up to make sure the commodity’s collective voice is heard.

For them, the greatest conflict may be in their own home where Allison enjoys experimenting with pulse recipes while Mike counters with his preferences.

“I still like a barley fed steak, cooked with potatoes,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

SECRETS TO THE “AHHH” PHOTO

Calcium loss, Take a spring prairie wildlife photo safari cola link?

TALES FROM THE ROAD HEALTH CLINIC

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

Is there any research suggesting a correlation between consuming carbonated drinks and depletion of calcium in the body?

A:

Let me make a distinction between carbonated drinks such as sparkling water or Perrier and pop or sodas. Carbonated drinks do not leach calcium out of your body, but it is a different story with the dark coloured pops such as colas.

They contain phosphoric acid, which has been shown to be problematic.

Dr. Katherine Tucker, a researcher at Tufts University in Boston, looked at the bone mineral density readings of more than 2,500 adult men and women and surveyed their soft drink consumption.

She found that women who drank more than three 12-ounce servings of cola per day had 2.3 to 5.1 percent lower bone mineral density in the hip, compared with women who consumed less than one serving per day.

The same finding did not seem to apply to men or those drinking only colourless pops.

It is believed that the phosphoric acid in colas binds with the calcium in the stomach and cannot easily be absorbed into the body.

Men might be protected because they generally have higher bone density. They also tend to drink more alcohol than women on average, and alcohol has been thought to have a slightly protective effect.

Drinking too much cola is even worse for children whose bones are still growing.

Fatty liver Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when normal liver cells are replaced with fat. Eventually this condition causes scarring or cirrhosis and/or liver cancer. The end result is liver failure.

NAFLD is now the most common liver disease in North America. Many patients are unaware that they even have this problem because there may be no obvious signs or symptoms for several decades.

It may be picked up with routine blood tests for liver function.

When the disease is more advanced, there may be nausea, weight loss, fatigue, lack of energy and poor concentration.

In the late stages, there is internal bleeding and muscle wasting in addition to ascites, a buildup of fluid in the abdominal cavity and jaundice, yellow skin and yellow whites of eyes.

If it is not too far gone, the disease is reversible if the person can slowly lose at least nine percent of their weight over a period of months. He or she should also avoid alcohol.

Have your camera set at a high shutter speed so you are ready to shoot when wildlife appears

L

ooking for a short break at this busy time? Grab your camera, hit the road and capture the wonders of spring.

Wildflowers are emerging, wildlife is active and outstanding numbers of birds are ready to party in their finest mating plumage. If you like wildlife photo safaris, spring on the Prairies is hard to beat.

Avid birdwatchers and photographers from other parts of the country may travel a long way to be here in spring. We prairie folk just have to take a short drive down the road.

We like to cruise along backloads lined with potholes and wetlands.

Ducks, geese and other waterfowl are easiest to find, but there might be shorebirds, songbirds, hawks sitting on posts, foxes playing next to dens and other surprises.

An effective way to photograph is from inside your vehicle because it’s almost like having a portable blind.

As long as you stay inside and don’t make noise or sudden moves, wildlife largely ignores you.

A telephoto lens helps with wildlife, especially birds. We use a bean bag over the open car window to provide a base to keep the camera steady.

Most fun is photographing colourful antics during spring mating season. The guys go all out to catch the gals’ eyes and put on some dramatic displays.

One of the easier ones to photograph is the male ruddy duck, which uses bubbles as part of his act. He pumps his sky-blue bill up and down, whacking it against his thick neck. This makes a dr umming sound and creates some impressive bubbles in the water. He finishes off by belching. What female could possibly resist?

More challenging to photograph is the lightning-speed antics of bufflehead ducks. Couples or competing males half-run and half-fly across the surface of the water, making a big fuss with plenty of splashing.

A more elegant ritual is performed

by American avocets. The best place to find them and other shorebirds is on the edge of shallow wetlands with muddy shores.

When a couple mates, they often do a quick circular pirouette dance, sometimes crossing bills while one wraps a wing around the other. Fortunately, avocets are less skittish than many birds, so it’s possible to get remarkably close if you stay in your vehicle.

The key to wildlife photography is to be ready because things happen quickly. Critters don’t wait patiently while we change lenses or fiddle with camera settings.

We usually travel with a telephoto lens on the camera, set on aperture

We set the ISO at 400 or higher in low light.

By letting in more light with a high ISO and wide aperture, the camera will fire at a higher shutter speed, increasing the chances of getting a sharp photo. If we suddenly come across wildlife, the camera is ready to grab and shoot.

For wildflowers, landscapes and other stationary subjects, there’s time to change lenses and settings and lower the ISO. A potential problem with high ISO is “noise,” where the photo might look grainy, so a lower setting is preferable when speed isn’t an issue.

Some fully automated cameras may limit how many setting changes you can make, but it’s still possible to take decent photos. The important thing is to get out and enjoy the springtime show.

DEMOCRAT MAJORITY

Agricultural groups express optimism, wariness toward new NDP government

election

The industry has had 44 years to forge a relationship with the former Progressive Conservative government

BY BARB GLEN & MARY MACARTHUR LETHBRIDGE, CAMROSE BUREAUS

Throw out the address book, says Alberta Wheat Commission vicepresident Kevin Auch.

There is a whole new group of people in the Alberta government as of May 5, and commodity groups will start fresh in making their needs known.

It is new territory for many in the industry, who have forged ties with government and bureaucrats in the agriculture department over 44 years of Progressive Conservative rule.

“It’s something that a lot of provinces have to go through every time a government changes,” said Auch about meeting the new crew of MLAs and ministers.

“It’s been done in other jurisdictions. I’m sure that we can figure it

out too, but we’ll be behind the eight ball for a little while.”

Among the top items on the AWC’s wish list is funding for a cereals specialist.

“We hadn’t accomplished that with the Conservatives but that’s probably one of the things that we’d like to get.”

Auch admitted being surprised by the election that resulted in an NDP majority.

He was skeptical of polls showing the party’s lead, given that pollsters also predicted a Wildrose party win in the 2012 election that instead saw another PC majority under former premier Alison Redford.

He saw the results as a desire for change.

“I just hope that Rachel Notley understands,” he said. “She’s an Albertan first. She’ll have a little different direction than what the previ-

ous government did, of course, but just understand who your constituents are. They wanted change, but consult with us if you’re looking at those changes. We want to be in on the process.”

Auch farms near Carmangay, but at the time of writing he didn’t yet know who his own MLA will be. Wildrose candidate David Schneider defeated PC candidate Ian Donovan by only 12 votes, so a recount is being done before the official winner is declared later this month.

Forage Seed Canada president Heather Kerschbaumer said she hopes to soon acquaint the NDP government with issues surrounding genetically modified alfalfa. Her group is against its introduction in Western Canada, and she hopes to get government support for that view.

We’re pretty confident that they’ve got interest in rural Alberta and interest in agriculture.

JANETTE MCDONALD AGRICULTURE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION COUNCIL OF ALBERTA

She is worried about some NDP plans mentioned during the election campaign, including an increase to the minimum wage and mandatory workers compensation coverage for farm workers.

Kerschbaumer said both policies could be hardships for farmers, depending on how far they go. In general, however, she likes the idea of a change in government.

“I think it’s good to have a change.

They’ve got a few years to prove themselves. If anything, it may create new opportunities because you have new ideas and people who are trying to please.”

NDP leader Rachel Notley grew up in Fairview, where Kerschbaumer has her home and seed business, so the two are well acquainted.

“I think she’s great. I think she’s down to earth. I think she’s a good leader and I think she’ll do well.”

Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak said trade will be high on the agenda when his group meets with new government representatives.

However, he is worried about the impact of non-agriculture policies on agriculture, especially labour, and is reluctant to embrace a one-size-fitsall mandatory workers compensation program for farm workers.

Greg Bowie of Alberta Beef Producers said his group is ready to work with the new government.

“There’s going to be a whole lot of meet and greets over the next while, hopefully. It’s going to be different, we know that, and we’re hoping that it can be positive for the beef industry and for agriculture. The biggest thing off the bat is just getting to meet them and getting them aware of the importance of the beef sector and agriculture in general.”

Janette McDonald of the Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta said her organization is proceeding with research projects based on the budget provided by the previous government.

She expects to meet with new government representatives and help them learn more about agriculture.

“We’re pretty confident that they’ve got interest in rural Alberta and interest in agriculture,” she said. barb.glen@producer.com mary.macarthur@producer.com

ALBERTA LESSON

Never tak Sask. premier Brad Wall says turnarounds can happen

Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall congratulated Alberta premierelect Rachel Notley last week and gave his own take on the NDP majority government elected May 5.

“You can’t take away anything from a campaign that goes from just a handful of seats to a very sizable majority and so we congratulate her on that,” said Wall.

“It’s very important to never take anything for granted, whether you’re a 44-year government or an eight-year government or a fouryear government.

OPPORTUNITY IN CHANGE

New government could pave way for more unity Agriculture leaders hope more stable funding could strengthen the industry’s voice

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Alberta’s new NDP government may be the catalyst for uniting the province’s fractured agriculture industry, says the chair of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture.

For years, the general farm organization has asked agriculture ministers for stable funding, but it was always rejected, said Lynn Jacobson.

Jacobson hopes a new government will provide that funding and allow a united farm organization to thrive in Alberta.

“I think the opportunity is there,” said Jacobson, who is concerned about the fragmentation of agriculture in Alberta.

“Let the commissions concentrate on their areas of expertise of marketing and research and development, and the other things belong to a general farm organization.”

Canola and wheat commissions shouldn’t be expected to spend their time lobbying politicians, he added.

LYNN JACOBSON ALBERTA FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE

ke anything for granted: Wall » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The lesson in Alberta for all parties is big turnarounds can happen in short order on either side of that equation, and I think that’s a message that I think resonates here in Saskatchewan.”

Wall’s Saskatchewan Party government is now sandwiched between two NDP-governed provinces.

“We’re hoping the NDP government in Alberta (will) continue with the New West Partnership,” said Wall.

That agreement standardizes various regulations, such as those relating to transportation.

Wall said Saskatchewan has one strong alternative to the NDP, but Albertans split the vote outside Edmonton.

The NDP received 33 percent of the vote in Calgary and rural areas but 35 seats, he said.

“Why? Because there was almost

CAM BROTEN SASKATCHEWAN NDP LEADER

a perfect split between the Wildrose and the Progressive Conservatives. Think about Saskatchewan. That’s what happened here for years.”

The dramatic shift from a Progressive Conservative to an NDP government in Alberta provoked many quips in social media about a mass exodus of conservative-minded residents to Saskatchewan.

Wall said everyone is welcome and it takes just a quick pledge of allegiance to Rider Nation, a reference

to the iconic Saskatchewan Roughriders fan base.

Saskatchewan NDP leader Cam Broten extended his congratulations to Notley as well.

“I want to extend my sincere congratulations to premier-elect Notley for running a campaign that stayed focused on what matters to Alberta families today,” Broten said in a statement.

“She’s entering the premier’s office at a critical time, and I’m confident she’s ready to meet head on the challenges her new job presents. I have no doubt that she will be a strong voice for Albertans and western Canadians and I look forward to working with her in the months and years ahead to advance the interests of Alberta and Saskatchewan.” barb.glen@producer.com karen.briere@producer.com

Jacobson said it wasn’t uncommon for previous agriculture ministers to meet with 16 farm organizations in a week, each of them expressing different and sometimes conflicting opinions.

The government picked its favourite agriculture industry to the detriment of others, said Jacobson.

With agriculture united under one umbrella, like the Keystone Agricultural Producers in Manitoba, there would be greater ability to bring forward an agenda that would benefit the entire agriculture community.

There was little mention of agriculture in the election campaign by any political party, so Jacobson said it’s time to meet with government and bring forth an agriculture agenda that recognizes its place in economic diversification.

Doug Scott, Alberta regional coordinator of the National Farmers Union, said he was thrilled with the election outcome.

“I thought it was wonderful. It was time in Alberta politics when we needed a change,” said the Waskatenau farmer. “It’s a diverse group, a young group.”

Scott said it will take everyone time to digest the changes and premier Rachel Notley will not likely make any radical changes.

“Agriculture is a very complicated business and a complicated portfolio. I hope Rachel Notley looks to a broad base for information,” said

Scott.

He said he hopes the new agriculture minister will look beyond a select group of commodity groups for advice.

“I am hoping we will see more broad consultation and less partisanship,” he said.

“The Alberta Wheat Commission has become a resting home for the people who wanted to destroy the wheat board and were given patronage appointments.”

Scott is opposed to creating a single general farm organization. He thinks Alberta should use Ontario’s model, where all farmers must belong to a farm organization but have a choice regarding which one: Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario or the NFU. Al Kemmere, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said he was surprised by the election results.

“We now have a new party at the table and we will do our best to bring our perspective forward. We will have to build a relationship,” said Kemmere.

The association wants to meet with the premier and cabinet to explain the rural perspective and get an understanding of the government’s perspective.

“They have a lot of people with strong abilities to lean on. It’s up to us as an agriculture industry to engage them and bring them up to speed on agriculture.”

The organization has always worked closely with the PC government, and Kemmere said he sees this as a fresh start.

“We’re starting from ground zero, and we will have to build relationships. It will take time on both sides.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

OLD CROP, NEW CROP

VEGETABLE PRODUCTION

Greenhouse industry growing, but could expand faster Lower electricity costs would allow Ontario growers to expand to year-round production, says official

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

KENT BRIDGE, Ont. — Development on farmland in southwestern Ontario doesn’t always result in the loss of agricultural production.

With the greenhouse vegetable industry, it means growth.

Jason Geertsma and his father, Rob, at Greenhill Produce are part of the phenomenon, beginning with a sixacre greenhouse in 2002.

“We never dreamed in a million years we would get this big. We’re getting close to what the natural gas supply infrastructure can handle. We hope in the future there will be some expansion.”

Geertsma said his family will be producing 86 acres of greenhouse vegetables once their latest 18-acre expansion is complete. The business is just one of many growing operations in the province.

George Gilvesy, general manager of Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, said the industry has been expanding by six percent a year over the past five years. He sees it as a good news story but wishes government would reward that achievement with greater support.

The greenhouse industry in Ontario employs a mix of skilled and unskilled positions, including hundreds of temporary offshore workers.

“It’s an untold story. In essence, we’ve built the equivalent of two car plants in Ontario in the past five years.… Our members have spent more than $700 million,” Gilvesy said.

“If we were able to secure access to less expensive electricity or get more involved in co-generation, that would be of assistance.”

Electricity rates in Ontario are among the highest in North America.

Gilvesy said lower costs would allow growers to produce tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers 12 months a year.

That requires supplemental lighting from November to February, but there’s a cost in electricity.

The co-generation strategy relates to the natural gas that greenhouse operators use to heat their greenhouses.

They already use the carbon dioxide that’s generated to support plant growth, which Gilvesy said is positive for the environment. The addition of co-generation could prove a winwin.

With the right pricing, growers could affordably expand to yearround production, and the province would have access to an environmentally friendly and steady supply of electricity independent of sunshine or wind.

There are now more than 2,500 acres under poly and glass producing tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers in Ontario, Gilvesy said. About 80 percent of the acreage is in Essex County in the Leamington-Kingsville area, which has the largest concentration of greenhouses in North America.

Strong supply this year has lowered prices below the six-year average, although profitability and pricing vary within the industry depending

on the market.

Growers have focused on differentiating their crops. For example, tomato producers are growing cocktail, beefsteak and heirloom types in a medley of colours.

“That’s one of the things that has transformed the sector, is the amount of innovation we’ve had,” he said.

“There are different products, different variations.… With continued expansion of the industry, it’s incumbent on the marketing community to develop new products.”

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Canada holding back in TPP talks as U.S. debates fast track

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian officials negotiating a new free trade agreement could take a page out of the country’s pact with the European Union.

Ongoing talks for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12 nation deal linking North American and Australian economies with growing markets in Asia, have put Canadian supply management in the crosshairs of foreign officials seeking greater access to the country’s protected dairy market.

At a G20 meeting of agriculture ministers in Turkey last week, U.S. agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack said Canada’s unwillingness to offer

more in negotiations may leave it out of a final agreement.

However, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has a different take on the situation.

“Everyone is withholding the final negotiations, the final steps that are required, until the Americans actually have the ability to consummate the deal,” he said.

Officials said publicly last week American legislation that would allow it to “fast track” trade deals and keep legislative debate to a simple yes or no vote is key to the completion of TPP talks.

Meanwhile, Canadian government officials have continued to publicly support the country’s supply manage-

ment sectors, saying the system will be preserved in future trade deals.

Speaking following the G20 meeting, Ritz wouldn’t comment on what kind of access negotiators may offer.

“I’m not going to negotiate this through the media,” said Ritz.

“I can tell you that we’re serious about making this work in Canada’s best interest.”

Analysts told a recent Senate agriculture meeting they could foresee reduced tariffs on imports in supply managed sectors in a completed TPP. “It’s likely that market access in many areas will come incrementally through expansions of (tariff rate quotas), just like in the European agreement,” said James Rude, a pro-

fessor at the University of Alberta.

In the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the European Union, Canada provided access for an additional 17,000 tonnes, drawing criticism from dairy groups and calls for compensation.

“This kind of story has come out in the press more recently (related to TPP), and of course we have no idea, really, whether that’s just a negotiating position and bargaining or whether it’s something serious,” said Richard Barichello of the University of British Columbia.

“So I can only say that past history would guide you to thinking that the way we would respond, what we would give up, is to increase the TRQ,

perhaps specific to those countries who are negotiating partners in TPP, and that would be it.”

Analysts are also watching ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Japan as the countries negotiate issues related to sensitive car and rice imports.

“If the U.S. and Japan come out with a really aggressive package, then Canada probably will, if it wants to stay in the deal, have to do some work to liberalize tariffs on those supply managed sectors,” consultant Kathleen Sullivan told senators.

Ritz said the country is continuing to pursue a bilateral agreement with Japan in the event the TPP falters or stalls. dan.yates@producer.com

Salford has purchased Manitoba’s Valmar Ariflo.

The southern Ontario based company has made inroads into the prairie market in recent years with air seeding and vertical tillage equipment. It has also introduced its more aggressive tillage tools to Western Canada.

The company recently announced the purchase of Valmar, a wellknown short-line machinery maker.

Valmar’s granular and fertilizer applicators have been well-known since the late 1970s, when dry herbicide products such as Avadex became popular.

The equipment is used in largerscale fertilizer spreading, inter-row seeding, grass and small seeded forage applications, canola planting with harrow bars and the growing cover-crop trend in the United States.

Air driven product delivery with precision metering is the basis of the Valmar lineup and was one of agriculture innovations created by Charlie Balmer, a short-line manufacturer from southern Manitoba.

Both companies share a similar story: mechanically inclined European immigrants from farms received agriculture degrees and came to Canada as young men, where they began working as mechanics but eventually started designing and building farm machinery. Both started their businesses from small shops in the late 1970s.

Balmer was also known for Ag Chem, LOR*AL and Willmar products, including high clearance sprayers, which are still manufactured under license.

Jake Rozendaal began his business in Salford, Ont., building cultivators, plows and V-box manure spreaders.

Salford has expanded to Osceola, Iowa, and Omsk, Russia, and is now owned by GenNx360 Capital Partners, a private equity firm focused on agriculture and industrial businessto-business companies.

Valmar’s operations are located in Elie, Man., and Salford officials say it plans to expand that business in the southern Manitoba location. michael.raine@producer.com

ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF CANADA’S CHICKEN INDUSTRY

PROVINCIAL ALLOCATION

B.C., Sask. oppose chicken quota deal

• $2.3 billion in farm cash receipts.

• 2, 882 farmers, plus 185 processors, creating 23,559 direct jobs and 55,943 total jobs.

• Ontario is the largest chicken producing province, with 1,026 farmers earning $735 million in farm cash receipts.

The agreement would give more quota to provinces with faster growing populations

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Chicken Farmers of Canada is moving forward with a new quota allocation agreement while processors appeal the deal that will see some provinces grow faster than others.

Late last year, CFC announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding between all 10 provincial chicken boards.

The agreement would see 55 percent of future growth in the supply managed sector based on “provincial comparative advantage factors,” which include population growth and quota use.

Some provinces will receive less new quota than in the past, but CFC contends all provinces will still see gains. The issue of differential growth, which provides more quota to faster growing provinces, had been a sticking point in negotiations that stretched on for six years.

Officials say the concession was key to Alberta’s participation. Alberta Chicken Producers had withdrawn from the previous federal-provincial supply management agreement, and

• British Columbia: $351 million.

the province stands to gain the most under the new deal.

CFC executive director Mike Dungate said the organizations finalized the language in the agreement last week and would be seeking the approval of provincial regulators. He said the organization had hoped to have all the signatures by the end of June.

“If I look at the interim steps in our timeline to get there, we are about one month behind,” said Dungate.

However, processors in Saskatchewan and British Columbia are appealing the agreement. Dungate said an appeal in Manitoba has been withdrawn.

Saskatchewan’s agriculture ministry previously confirmed that the province’s Agri-Food Appeals Committee would hear the complaint from Sofina Foods and Prairie Pride Natural Foods.

“I’m not surprised that there’s an appeal of this operating agreement amendment or the MOU. I am surprised that it came from Saskatchewan,” said Dungate.

“Because while nothing is certain in terms of where the growth of

chicken will be allocated, based on our projections of the model, Saskatchewan would come out third best in the country.”

Projections offered at a Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan meeting earlier this year showed the new formula would award the province 71,000 fewer kilograms over four eight-week production cycles, during which time the province’s production grew by more than 777,000 kg.

British Columbia, Quebec and Maritime producers would see more significant declines.

“I could’ve seen it from somebody in the Maritimes who were getting hit the hardest in terms of this agreement, in terms of future growth,” said

Dungate. “But I want to make it clear that it’s an agreement that will see everybody grow. It just means that some will grow faster than others based on comparative advantage factors.”

Robin Horel, president of the Canadian Poultry and Egg Processors Council, said all appealing processors are members of his association, which remains supportive of supply management.

“They are largely in agreement with the new allocation system,” he said.

“They feel, though, that there should be one more layer or level added to it, and that is the ability for an additional component of regional differential growth.… A lot of details

would have to be ironed out as to how it might work, but we believe it would be a reasonable solution and a reasonable compromise, but so far it appears we’re the only ones that think that.”

Dungate said a preliminary hearing in the Saskatchewan case, to see if the appeal will move for ward, was scheduled for mid-May. “It was a very tough negotiation as people made the compromises to come to the deal,and I don’t doubt that people made compromises that stretched the limits of where their comfort zone was, absolutely,” said Dungate.

War, and its effects on Canadian grain exports FROM THE ARCHIVES

A new plant that began manufacturing plastic baler twine in Saskatoon was expected to reduce farmers’ dependence on uncertain sources in tropical countries. Poli-Twine Corp.

Ltd. was to market its twine under the Black Hornet label.

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR

25 YEARS AGO: MAY 17, 1990

The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

Grain elevators were expected to be congested by July because an 18 percent drop in Canadian Wheat Board initial payments was likely to encourage farmers to empty their bins as they sold as much crop as possible before the price drop.

75 YEARS AGO: MAY 16, 1940 Saskatchewan agriculture minister Gordon Taggart worried that the expansion of the war might reduce demand for western Canadian agricultural products. Germany had just invaded the Netherlands and Belgium, following previous invasions of Norway and Denmark.

As well, Britain was planning to grow an additional two million acres of wheat, which could further reduce Canadian exports. The situation might force a revision of the West’s agricultural economy, he said.

A University of Saskatchewan study recommended the relatively new and less well known method of shallow tillage to completely eradicate the three most important perennial weeds: perennial sow thistle, Canada thistle and quack grass.

50 YEARS AGO: MAY 13, 1965 Manitoba agriculture minister George Hutton worried that federal proposals to establish a central feed grain agency would undermine the Canadian Wheat Board. However, the provincial legislature eventually voted unanimously to co-operate with Ottawa and the other provinces to develop a policy for the movement of feed grains and livestock.

Federal agriculture minister Don Mazankowski rejected arguments from food processors that their future depended on being able to buy food more cheaply from farmers.

Canadian processors were warning that they wouldn’t be able to compete with U.S. imports if farmgate food prices didn’t fall to American levels.

10 YEARS AGO: MAY 12, 2005 Five farmer-owned inland terminals announced they had bought a grain export terminal from Agricore United in Vancouver.

The deal prompted speculation that it would lead to the creation of a new farmer-owned grain exporting company, now that the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool had gone public.

The Western Producer dedicated a two-page special report to farmer concerns that proposed amendments to the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act would impede their ability to save seed and significantly reduce farm profit.

The amendments were intended to make the legislation conform to an updated convention on breeders’ rights. bruce.dyck@producer.com

y today’s accounts, Western Canada’s oat growers felt small, poor and disconnected when they walked into the postCanadian Wheat Board world 23 years ago.

In 1992, federal wheat board minister Charlie Mayer placed the crop outside the CWB’s marketing control.

Back then, oat growers knew little about the companies that processed their crop, the products it was made into and which consumers bought it and why.

As well, they also had trouble figuring out how a few thousand scattered farmers could get a comfy seat at the oat industry table.

“It was very un-rich at the beginning,” long-time oat grower Bob Anderson of Winnipeg said while recalling the formative days of the Prairie Oats Growers Association.

Fast-forward two decades and prairie oats growers are an effective, prairie-wide organization.

Its meetings bring in representatives from all of North America’s millers, senior managers of General Mills and Pepsico’s Quaker Oats, virtually all the active oat breeders in Canada and anyone else interested in being connected to the North American oat industry.

The Prairie Oat Growers Association has managed to make itself the go-to organization when it comes to discussing industry issues, which it thinks provides an example to provincial wheat organizations now trying to find ways to work together with

private industry.

Long-time active members take pride in having created a farmercontrolled organization that isn’t afraid to speak up for producers while managing to get along with other interests.

“The biggest single thing is respect,” said Bill Wilton, an organizer from the beginning and a past-president of POGA. “Respectful discussions are what is required.”

The lessons for wheat growers come from lots of learning, which was often painful as POGA tried to build itself from scratch.

Funding was lean in the early years because they were unable to set up a prairie-wide checkoff and needed to organize separate provincial organizations in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, collect provincial checkoffs and channel the money to POGA. The organization was saved in those early years by money and assistance from some of the major nonfarmer players in the oats industry, such as Quaker Oats.

“Without the support of the trade, there would not have been a Prairie Oat Growers,” said Wilton.

He thinks corporate interests were willing to step in because they realized that maintaining oat acreage was a problem. The crop was disappearing in the United States, and there was a chance the industry could lose easy access to good Canadian oats.

So the interests of processors worked well with POGA’s desire to make the crop attractive enough to prairie farmers that it would remain a

How the Canola Council of Canada strikes a balance between industry and farmer advocacy

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

L

iving inside a big tent can have its advantages as long as it’s easy to duck out when things get too hot.

That’s the experience of some farmer representatives who have seen how the Canola Council of Canada has managed to have a strong farmer component, while also giving equal power and play to other parts of the industry.

“Just because we come together as an industry does not mean we don’t push for advancing farmer interests, even if it means other parts of the industry aren’t happy with us,” said Brett Halstead, the Nokomis, Sask., farmer who is president of the Canadian Canola Growers Association and a director with the CCC. Over five decades of evolution and development, the CCC has become the overarching organization and forum for the canola industry. It represents farmers, processors, exporters and life science companies.

At times it has been strained by disagreements, but it has never come apart at the seams and many say it seems stronger now than in the past.

Nipawin, Sask., farmer Terry Youz-

wa, who just completed his term as CCC chair, thinks the success of the organization comes from the tendency of all segments of the canola industry to be willing to talk through issues, at length, rather than beginning with hardened positions.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together,” said Youzwa, summing up the council attitude.

“It might take a little longer, but if you understand each other’s issues, you’ll find some middle ground and reach some consensus.”

That attitude has allowed the CCC to move forward with complex issues and develop positions acceptable to the entire industry, from farmer to world marketer.

Recent years have seen many issues arise, such as trade disputes with China over blackleg, the evolution of clubroot on the Prairies and complications around genetically modified crop approvals, without experiencing significant farmer-industry animosity.

At times in the past, disagreements have seemed more intense and could have led to the council’s unravelling, said Dale Adolphe, who was president of the council during some tempestuous years in the 1990s and 2000s.

After evolving from the 1960s-era Rapeseed Association of Canada, which was a non-farmer industryrun organization, and finding a way to incorporate the various prairie checkoff-collecting provincial canola commissions, the canola council ran into internal struggles over a host of evolving issues.

At one point the prairie farmer-run wheat pools walked out of the organization when it spoke out against including canola under the Canadian Wheat Board’s powers.

In another dispute years later, farmers wanted to boost exports of canola seed to Japan, but crushers were incensed at Japanese tariffs on imported canola oil, which kept most canola oil out of that market. Processors were against market development money being spent in Japan.

In both cases, the council found a way to stay together.

After the wheat pools walked out over canola and the CWB, the council decided to stay out of grain marketing policy debates, which allowed the pools to come back.

When crushers and farmers couldn’t agree on how to deal with the Japanese market — engage or boycott — farmer-run organizations funded specific marketing programs

outside the canola council.

“The grower commissions established basically their own market development programs,” said Adolphe.

Eventually, Japanese tariffs were reduced and the issue faded, but all the while, the council proceeded with issues that didn’t divide its membership.

That practice continues today.

Consensus is reached around the table on many issues that the council can then take an industry stand on.

Contentious issues are talked out, often for months, before industry positions are formulated.

Sometimes no industry position is possible, and separate elements from within the council publicly provide their own perspectives.

That was the case recently with the 2013-14 transportation crisis, Hal-

stead said. Farmer groups were upset early in the crisis with bad rail service, but the rest of the industry seemed to believe the market would sort itself out. Farm groups such as the Canadian Canola Growers Association began lobbying and complaining about the situation without being able to speak for the canola council, but eventually the rest of the industry adopted most of the farmer perspective.

Halstead said he thinks that helped convince the government of the seriousness of the situation and likely wouldn’t have happened if farmers weren’t at the CCC table.

“It started with a farmer push, that’s for sure. We sped up awareness of the issue.” ed.white@producer.com

significant part of their crop rotations.

Unlike wheat, which is a gigantic worldwide crop with good markets, and canola, which is a fast-rising Cinderella crop, oats was a dangerous combination of old, small and grown only in small pockets. Efforts to keep its acreage steady united farmers, processors, marketers and breeders.

This led to a general willingness to compromise, between farmers from across the Prairies, and with millers and processors.

“Maybe we all take a little water with our wine from time-to-time,” said Anderson.

“But it has worked up until now.…

We’ve worked with all sectors of the industry, and we all seem to get along and each does our own part for the betterment of the whole industry because farmers and industry both have to be comfortable or the whole thing isn’t going to work.”

Collegial friction can sometimes be seen at the POGA annual meeting, held every December.

Two years ago, one giant miller chided POGA for spending too much time and effort on rebuilding the U.S. horse feed market. It said, resources would be better spent boosting the nutritional quality of oats for human food products.

However, POGA’s leaders stuck to

their guns and have continued their U.S. horse feed market efforts. The millers have not backed away from working with POGA. “Even when they’ve had differences, they’ve found other areas to work together in,” said Randy Strychar, publisher of the Oatinformation newsletter and organizer of the U.S. horse feed campaign.

“It’s like a family. They’re going to have differences, but they function quite well.”

Another divide between POGA’s farmer members and some of the industry came with the 2013-14 transportation crisis. POGA complained about bad rail service and the poor treatment of southwardbound oat shipments, while other elements of the industry wanted POGA to stay silent.

“We got past that,” said Wilton.

“Had a frank discussion about it.

Everybody understood where everybody was coming from.”

Wilton credits POGA with getting southbound rail flow included in Canadian Transportation Agency monitoring.

From the beginning, oat growers didn’t want provincial-based organizations to dominate, and Wilton thinks the approach has paid off with research money for variety development. Breaking POGA’s research

money into three pieces with different priorities could have complicated and weakened the abilities of Canada’s few oat breeders.

Anderson, who represents oats on the Western Grains Research Foundation board, agrees with that approach and urges wheat organizations to do the same thing.

“They should be able to put that together and make the best use of farmers’ money,” said Anderson.

Wilton said being prairie-wide has been POGA’s best asset, whether it’s with pooled research money or being able to lobby industry or government. It’s something wheat organizations need to realize, he added.

“They need to remember that they represent the wheat producers in their individual provinces, but by coming together as one overarching group for all the wheat and durum producers in Western Canada, that they can apply tremendous leverage.”

Now it holds the history of agriculture.

Along the walls are pictures of winning show cattle and horses, an old

surplus, Francis asked the university’s dean of agriculture if he could begin gathering the old equipment for a museum.

The dean agreed and 15 years ago the retired university farm worker began collecting the history of agriculture.

Francis worked at the university for 43 years as an animal technician, looking after the animals and working with students and professors, until he retired in 1992.

For three days a week, Francis, 87, walks, bikes or drives from his nearby house to the museum to organize the more than 400 artifacts, sweep the floor, rebuild and polish the equipment and give tours to schoolchildren, seniors and university students. “It’s history. I don’t know where you go to find a collection in this good of condition,â€? said Francis. “It gives the new generation a chance to understand what the older generation went through.‌ Great experiments went on here.â€?

Part of the collection is a cutting block from the meat lab where university scientist Roy Berg and others dissected beef carcasses to prove the value of cross breeding cattle.

In another room is a 1916 buggy Francis restored after it was dropped off in three pieces. “It’s a lovely buggy, but it had been in a runaway and was demolished, but it is looking good now,� he said. “A lot of pieces were picked up and loaded to go to the salvage yard.�

NFU REPORT

Is corporate investment threatening farmer control?

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

BRIDGEN, Ont. — The extent of the problem isn’t known, but the author of a National Farmers Union report says growing corporate ownership of farmland should concern Canadian producers.

“There are no official statistics kept concerning the type of farm ownership,” said Cathy Holtslander, former NFU director of research and policy development.

“In terms of a trend, when investment companies purchase land … they aggregate fairly large parcels.

They wait for a number of years and then they sell them. And when they sell them, they tend not to sell them to actual farmers but rather to other institutional investors.”

A key recommendation from the Losing Our Grip report calls on federal and provincial governments to restrict farmland ownership to individuals who reside in the province in which the land is located or to incorporated farming operations owned by individuals who reside in the province in which the land is located.

Another asks provincial governments to monitor foreign and domestic ownership and control of farmland and publicly report changes.

Holtslander cites the activities of the Calgary-based investment company Agcapita as an example.

The company has bought 50,000 acres since last year, much of it in Saskatchewan for $439 per acre, the report states. Last year, 19,300 acres spread over 16 rural municipalities were sold for $18 million to a financial agency managing the investment portfolio of one of Canada’s wealthy families.

The report also cites growing farm held debt as a related concern.

Ann Slater, an Ontario farmer and NFU first vice-president who discussed the issue last month at the annual meeting of the local NFU in Lambton, Ont., cited figures in the report that show farmer-held debt has risen from $5 billion in 1971 to $64 billion in 2010 and $78 billion in mid-2013.

“I live in Oxford County, a mile from Middlesex and two miles from Perth.

There was a farm auction nearby recently where 100 acres sold for $1.975 million,” Slater said.

J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada, said the impact of corporate ownership on farmland values is modest.

He said 60 percent of Ontario’s farmland is owned by farmers and of the 40 percent that’s leased or rented, perhaps one percent is foreign owned.

“What we know is that the vast majority of land transactions are between producers, buying and selling,” he said.

The ownership of farmland by nonfarm corporations doesn’t influence agricultural land values in a broad sense, he added, but it does have an impact on a regional basis.

“It allows some producers to make different financial arrangements. I’m not saying if it’s a good or bad thing.”

However, the NFU report said the decline in farmland ownership by farmers is a concern.

“The current policy environment promotes unaffordable land prices, ever-higher farm debt loads and con-

centration of land ownership in fewer hands, thereby systematically pushing farmers out of business,” it said.

Matt Gehl, a NFU board member from Saskatchewan, said in a news release in March that young farmers face a double whammy when it comes to getting started.”

We not only have to compete with pension funds and other huge institutional investors in the land market, we also face huge life-time debt loads to pay.

MATT GEHL NATIONAL FARMERS UNION BOARD MEMBER

“We not only have to compete with pension funds and other huge institutional investors in the land market, we also face huge life-time debt loads to pay for land and equipment.”

Much of the activity has taken place in Saskatchewan, where legislation restricts farmland ownership to Canadian residents and Canadian companies but also allows exemp-

tions. The province’s Farm Land Security Board granted permission to transfer 761,130 acres from 201014, mostly to commercial and resource extraction companies.

Annual reports from the Farm Land Security Board show that only four out of 130 applications from land investment companies were denied from 2010-14.

The provincial government has since said it will review its farmland ownership rules and has prohibited further land investment by institutional investors, such as pension funds, until the review is complete.

Farmland is also falling under corporate control in other provinces, especially in Ontario, where there are no restrictions to the foreign ownership of farmland, Holtslander said.

Calgary-based Walton International seeks overseas investors, targets land near cities and lobbies municipal governments to open the properties to non-farm development, the report said.

Walton owns 4,500 acres in Brant County, 3,000 acres in South Simcoe County, 300 acres near Ottawa and 11,500 acres altogether, according to company news releases.

Farmland Investment Funds, a firm

in Chatham, Ont., with an office in the United Arab Emirates, says it has $70 million in farmland. It focuses its investments in southwestern Ontario.

Other recommendations from the report include: • Set taxation rates at a lower level for farm families as compared to investors, foreign interests and non-farm corporations.

• Provide incentives for land stewardship and penalties for practices that extract wealth at the expense of soil health.

• Support intergenerational land transfers and support systems such as land trusts and land banks, which do not require massive indebtedness.

• Restrict the transfer of farmland for non-farm purposes.

• Ban farm input suppliers from tying input financing to delivery contracts.

The report shows that farm debt held by agribusinesses and private investors increased from $7.5 billion in 2010 to $8.3 billion in 2013.

NEWS BEEF BAN

Indian butchers eye Jersey cow option Muslims hope cattle imports won’t fall under Hindu imposed beef slaughter ban

An investor walks past an electronic board showing trading information at a brokerage house in Fuyang China.

MUMBAI, India (Reuters) — Muslim traders in India who have been battling a beef ban threatening their livelihoods are seeking permission to slaughter foreign-origin Jersey cows.

They think those cattle will not be as sacred to the country’s majority Hindus as locally bred cattle.

Several states led by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party of prime minister Narendra Modi have either brought new laws to ban beef or tightened curbs on killing cattle.

India is the world’s largest beef exporter and fifth biggest consumer.

The trade is dominated by the minority Muslim community, which have protested against the latest restrictions with little success.

The All India Milli Council, a platform for Muslims in the country, now says it supports the beef ban but would like the government to find them alternatives. They hope Jerseys, a dairy cow originally bred in the Channel Island of Jersey, could be an option.

GLOBAL MARKETS

Chinese gov’t allows commodity trading Beijing seeks more clout by allowing more companies to trade in international markets

We demand the government to allow us kill Jersey cows, which are of foreign origin and religious sentiments are not attached to them.

M.A. KHALID

HONG KONG (Reuters) — China has more than tripled the number of central government-owned firms allowed to trade commodities derivatives overseas without regulator approval.

The move will give China more clout in global markets for metals, energy and agricultural products.

One hundred more large government-backed Chinese companies will be permitted to trade in international futures, swaps and options markets, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the changes. It marks the biggest expansion of the list in nearly 10 years.

“This will boost trading by Chinese companies, energy in particular, given airlines and crude producers need to do it,” said the head of the futures department at a central government-owned company in Beijing.

The source said his own firm had already received notification of the change.

China is one of the world’s biggest consumers of metals, energy and agricultural products, and stateowned companies often have a high demand for hedging tools.

“This is one more step towards capital account opening and a sign they will allow more inflows and outflows across their borders,” said Grace Tam, a markets strategist at JP

GRACE TAM JP MORGAN ASSET MANAGEMENT

Morgan Asset Management in Hong Kong.

“They want to encourage more outflows in the overseas markets and using derivatives for hedging purposes.”

The change could be a boon for users of oil products such as airlines and shipping companies, and it should mean more business for futures exchanges in Chicago and New York and on the London Metal Exchange, which is owned by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing.

The move is also expected to benefit Chinese and global financial firms such as investment banks and brokerages, which for years have sought more business from Chinese government-backed companies because they are considered financially stronger, industry sources said.

The domestic derivatives market is relatively under-developed, but

Beijing is preparing rapidly for further liberalization of its capital account while also seeking greater influence over prices of key commodities such as oil.

Big Chinese oil firms are already actively trading oil futures, such as Brent and WTI crude on the U.S.owned Intercontinental Exchange in London and Nymex in New York.

Firms owned by the central government that had been conducting hedging activities in global markets through their overseas units would now move such operations to Beijing and expand their business, the source at the central governmentowned company in Beijing said.

The latest increase raised the number of firms approved for overseas trading in derivatives from 31 on an earlier list, which had included a few companies owned by local governments rather than the central government.

China has 112 central government-owned enterprises, including industry leaders such as China Nuclear Industry Group, China Aviation Industry Group and Dongfeng Automobile Co. Beijing has kept tight controls over state-owned enterprises’ overseas derivatives trading following the global financial crisis.

Some state-owned companies have racked up huge losses in met-

als and oil markets.

The state-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council would endorse foreign exchange requirements needed to conduct such business from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, according to the sources.

Companies are still required to report their derivatives business activities to the state asset regulator, the sources said.

Beijing does not regulate private companies that trade commodity derivatives in the global market so long as they obtain the necessary clearances from regulators.

Chinese companies remain relative novices in the global derivatives trading, and some have made huge losses.

CITIC Ltd., which was known as CITIC Pacific in 2008, saw marketto-market losses of around $2 billion as a result of the foreign exchange position it took to hedge currency exposure from its Australian iron ore mining project.

Earlier, Air China and China National Aviation Fuel also suffered losses in the derivatives market.

“The key is having people who understand derivatives well,” said a senior coal trader.

“Even if the government allows this, enterprises will be cautious.”

ALL INDIA MILLI COUNCIL

“We demand the government to allow us kill Jersey cows, which are of foreign origin and religious sentiments are not attached to them,” said M.A. Khalid, general secretary of the council’s unit in the western state of Maharashtra.

Maharashtra is home to India’s largest abattoir, Deonar, and the state in February extended a ban on killing of cows to bulls and bullocks. However, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis shot down the idea of allowing the killing of Jersey cows.

“There are no exceptions,” he said.

Since the ban in Maharashtra, slaughtering of big cattle in Deonar has nearly halved to 200 to 250 animals, mostly buffalo. Several workers have been left jobless, and Fadnavis said his government was considering a rehabilitation plan for the worst affected Qureshi community.

Meanwhile, Hindu groups are working on the well-being of cattle that are likely to be stranded because of the beef ban.

Vyankatesh Abdeo, All India Secretary of the World Hindu Council, said they would protect any breed of cow and increase the number of cow shelters in the state by eight times to 5,000 this year.

“Every cow is sacred to us, regardless of its breed,” Abdeo said.

CANADA, EU TRADE DEAL

Greece determined to protect ‘feta’ cheese name Greece says the country has made the goat milk cheese for 6,000 years and wants Canada’s version to be called ‘feta-style’ BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) — Greece will not back a multibilliondollar trade pact between Canada and the European Union unless the deal is changed to specify that only it can use the term “feta” for its salty white cheese.

After five years of difficult negotiations, Canada and the EU reached a deal last year, but unexpected wrangling over aspects of the final text have intensified in recent months and could delay its ratification.

Greece is expected to tell EU trade ministers in Brussels that the agreed text does not protect Greek feta in Canada because, under the terms of the pact, Canadian companies using the “feta” name before October 2013 can continue to do so.

“We have informed the European

Commission about the numerous usurpers of our famous feta cheese in the Canadian market,” Greek diplomats wrote in a note prepared for the meeting.

“It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible for us, to endorse (a EUCanada trade accord).”

Greece’s radical leftists, who won power in January, are struggling to renegotiate the country’s bailout with Europe, and their lastminute objections to the Canada deal are unlikely to go down well with most EU governments, who are eager to see the economic benefits of the accord kick in as soon as possible.

It is not yet clear if a Greek veto could sink the treaty.

Greece, which says feta is its cul-

Unlike some products like champagne, which comes from Champagne, France, critics argue that there is no place called feta and so it should not receive geographic protection.

tural heritage because it has made the sheep and goat milk cheese for 6,000 years, wants Canadian producers to label their cheese “fetastyle.”

Geographical protection of European food names is also causing tension with the United States, where the EU is seeking an even bigger deal than that reached with Canada.

Canada and the U.S. say the EU system is unfair because European immigrants have long produced such products as Greek feta and should be allowed to export it as such.

They also argue that there is no place called feta and so it should not receive geographic protection.

However, the issue of food is an

emotional one in Europe, and the European Commission is struggling to maintain support for its ambitious trade strategy, which includes free trade deals with the world’s biggest economies.

Talks with Canada were launched in May 2009 but stalled several times over issues such as the size of quotas for Canadian beef and the issue of geographical protections.

Some German politicians also want the Canada-EU deal reopened to change highly contested investor arbitration rules.

They are worried that North American companies will use international dispute settlement panels instead of national courts to challenge EU laws they view as harmful to profitability.

HOG RESEARCH

Piglets suffering anemia benefit from second injection of iron

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Providing supplementary iron to piglets is routine in Canada’s swine industry. What producers may not realize is that a second injection may be help boost productivity.

Dr. Robert Friendship cited work by graduate student Amanda Kubik in making the assertion.

“If we got everyone to evaluate iron and then do something about it, it could be worth millions to the Canadian swine industry,” he said.

“It’s an area that hadn’t been looked at for years and needed to be reinvestigated.”

Friendship said 60 pigs on 20 different farms were tested for iron levels

in hemoglobin at three weeks and six weeks of age. Chosen were the largest and smallest pigs in litters along with a mid-sized pig.

It was found that five to 10 percent of the pigs were anemic, had low iron levels, at three weeks of age.

Three weeks later that increased to 10 to 25 percent on some farms while on others the anemia concern was resolved.

The tests were necessary for an accurate measurement. In addition there were no visual signs of iron deficiency, unlike pale-pig situations in which the initial injection was missed entirely.

There were also differences among the farms and so producers should not assume they have a concern.

However, Friendship is confident the

numbers reflect the overall situation in Canada.

He suggested producers work with their veterinarian to conduct their own evaluations.

“Maybe chose the bigger, faster growing pigs. If they’re fine, probably the others are fine as well,” he said.

It’s possible that productivity gains over the years have led to a corresponding increased requirement for iron. Piglets are born with limited reserves, enough for about five days.

“We’ve changed the pigs we raise.

They grow faster and have higher requirements and we have sows milking more. The sows deliver the protein and energy but not the iron,” Friendship said.

If they were outdoors, the piglets

would possibly obtain iron from the soil, he noted.

Most iron is now delivered with an injection a few days after birth. The standard rate is 200 milligrams and should not be exceeded even if iron deficiency is a known concern.

“When we inject the little pigs you should be careful. It’s dangerous to give them more,” Friendship said.

“What I see as a likely solution would be giving the second injection of iron, another 200 milligrams, at two or three weeks of age.”

Ideally the second injection should be given about a week before weaning. However, for convenience’s sake, it might be provided when the pigs are being handled for some other reason.

Once weaned, iron is delivered

through the feed but pigs that have suffered once in their lifetime from anemia never regain their full potential. They’ll grow slower and are more susceptible to disease.

Another result from the study related to difference between farms.

On some, pigs that tested low for iron at three weeks recovered, while on others the situation grew worse.

The reason may lie with different rates of iron absorption but Friendship is not sure.

It could be linked to farmers feeding high levels of zinc oxide to help prevent E. Coli infections; the treatment may somehow interfere with iron absorption.

It may also be related to the form of iron being fed. Some types are more readily absorbed than others.

BODY CONDITION

Herd uniformity goal of sow feed monitor program Online program helps producers group sort according to condition and provide precision feeding for maximum productivity

BY JEFFREY CARTER ONTARIO FARMER

Uniformity is the core objective of Topigs Norsvin’s new online Sow Feed Monitor program.

“Our philosophy in terms of feeding programs is that you cannot steer or develop a good feed program unless you can decrease the variation in your sow barn,” said Willem Steyn, the company’s nutrition team lead.

“We give you the reference body weight, back fat thickness and body condition over parity to start with.

Then you plug in your information.”

The program uses at least 10,000 data points, each representing an individual sow from top producing farms.

In Canada, many producers will be interested in comparisons of sows from the favoured Topigs 20 genetic line, Steyn said.

The idea is to fit 80 to 85 percent of sows within the desired body condition group at both farrowing and weaning, which he said is a challenging but realistic goal.

The program divides sows into three broad groups: skinny, a red designation; too fat, a blue designation and the desired green box sows.

Rather than fussing with overly nar-

Reducing sow variation in a herd allows producers to develop a one-size-fits-all feeding system. | row parameters, green box sows fall within the program’s desired range but still have a certain amount of variation. Steyn said the overall goal is to steer the entire herd in the right direction.

Coloured graphs and at-a-glance comparisons with key standards and updates make the program easy to use. Colours can then be used real time to fit sows into the appropriate category.

Steyn said the productivity of skinny sows tends to be low. They lack milk production in some cases and

may produce piglets with low birth weights.

Excessively heavy sows are more expensive to maintain, may have reduced feed intake during gestation, are more likely to produce stillborn pigs and are at risk of having a lower milk yield.

It’s also impossible to develop precision feeding protocols, especially in larger operations, when there is an excessive variation in body condition scores among sows.

The Sow Feed Monitor helps producers group sows according to con-

dition and feed them the optimum diet for their condition with the most appropriate feed curves and nutritional requirements. Uniformity should improve over time.

“By improving herd uniformity, you can automatically use precision feeding,” Steyn said.

It’s especially important to get gilts off to a good start. If they’re too big at breeding, or too small, it’s the way they’ll stay.

The program can be used in different ways at the discretion of producers and with the realization that

despite its efficient design, a time factor is involved.

Steyn said producers should consider three basic options when applying the program: • Use back-fat scanning and body condition scoring on a regular basis. Under this scenario, the more labour intensive weighing could be reserved to times when operators wish to look more intensively at their herd.

• Examine body condition only occasionally to see of the feed program is moving sows in the right direction.

• Occasionally add weighing.

• All three measures would be appropriate when doing a full herd examination or making a major change such as in the areas of genetics and feed.

Steyn said producers should use at least two parameters: back fat and weight or back fat and condition score. This accounts for the fact that big sows are not necessarily fat.

The program is free to Topigs customers as well as prospective customers. Passwords and user names for the online program are assigned.

The program was designed using data from Topigs genetics, which means the full value of the program is available only when they are used.

FRUIT RESEARCH

Growers wanted to test lingonberry hybrids Agriculture Canada is looking for partners to conduct trials, evaluate hybrids in different growing conditions and determine antioxidant levels

BY REBECCA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Agriculture Canada research scientist Samir Debnath began working with lingonberries in Newfoundland and Labrador in 1999.

With more than 40 hybrids of a European, high yielding variety as well as local plants in his greenhouse, Debnath is now looking for producers willing to grow the crop.

“It was found that in Newfoundland and Canadian lingonberries, the minus type, they have more antioxidant activity,” said Debnath.

“But their production is low and the plants are also small in size. The European cultivars have high yield.

Plants are larger in size, but the antioxidant activity is low and they aren’t adapted in Canadian climates. We crossed between European ones and Canadian wild clones. We have now about 45 hybrids.”

Agriculture Canada is now seeking partners anywhere in Canada to conduct seed trials with the hybrids.

Debnath said the antioxidant level should remain the same regardless of the location because it is genotypedependant.

“If you get the genotype with high antioxidant activity, surely they are superior to the European cultivars,”

he said. “But you must grow them in the climate from Canada.”

Lingonberries are a long-term investment, taking six to eight years to reach commercial production.

Growers can expect to start seeing some fruit after three to four years.

Lingonberries can be grown anywhere in Canada, but soil pH needs to be considered.

Our focus is producing the evidence, scientific health benefits. Everybody can claim that eating this is healthy, but people want to know why.

CHRIS SIOW AGRICULTURE CANADA SCIENTIST

“That should generally be around 4.5, as well as moisture levels throughout the growing season (that are moist),” said Debnath.

“But there shouldn’t be waterlogged conditions, and very low amounts of fertilizer are needed.

When we get the final selections in four, five or six years, then immediately we can multiply the specific

Research scientist Samir Debnath says the lingonberry will provide new opportunities for Canadian growers. | REBECCA KUROPATWA PHOTOS plant, specific hybrid, and we can supply to the grower as many as they want. We double up the technology for propagating the lingonberry plants.”

Lingonberries are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere’s cold climate, but the Scandinavian countries are the leaders in cultivating the European variety of lingonberry.

Newfoundland and Labrador is the largest North American lingonberry producer, but it all comes from the wild.

“It should have very good potential for Canada for future use,” said Debnath. “It is a functional fruit, like cranberry. It has medicinal properties. So any grower interested in working with us, we will be happy for that, and we will supply the plants.”

Chris Siow, a research scientist at Agriculture Canada in Winnipeg, is evaluating the different lingonberry cultivars and determining which has the highest antioxidant activity.

“My research interest is on agro food and herbal medicine, predominantly found in Canada and Manitoba,” said Siow.

“Our focus is producing the evidence, scientific health benefits.

Everybody can claim that eating this

is healthy, but people want to know why.”

Siow began collaborating with Debnath in 2008.

“He wanted to know what the benefits are,” said Siow.

“So we collaborated. I look at the health benefits. I found that the lingonberry and the cranberry both have antioxidants, but the lingonberry is much, much higher than anything I’ve seen.… In our bodies, when cells are deprived of oxygen due to a medical condition, like a heart attack, if oxygen is restored to these cells too fast, it can be deadly, when there’s too much of it. So when this happens, you want to have antioxidants that can protect the cells.”

Used as a preventive measure, antioxidants can provide another line of defence in the body. The hope is that people would be able to ingest this through the lingonberry or a supplement derived from it.

“Right now in Manitoba, most lingonberries are harvested in the Lynn Lake and Flin Flon areas,” said Siow.

When grown in the wild, harvest is dependent on nature.

“When you are harvesting from wild, you have no control over the supply,” he said.

LINGONBERRY’S MANY ALIASES Lingonberry is the English name but there are as many as 25 names other names for the fruit.

• Tyttebaer: Norway, Denmark and Germany • Lingon: Sweden • Puolukka: Finland • Cowberry: Britain • Partridgeberry: Newfoundland • Foxberry: Nova Scotia • Red berry: Labrador • Rock cranberry, mountain cranberry, dry, ground cranberry and low bush cranberry in other parts of Canada and Alaska.

• Wisakimin: the Cree name • Keepmingyuk, keepmik and toomalgleet: in Inuit

“But when you’re farming it, you can control the conditions. We are trying to have the northern communities able to grow them if possible, not just harvesting them from the wild. In terms of development, this is a tremendous opportunity.”

OIL EXPORTS

Farmer warns of cross prairie oil shipping plan The Energy East Pipeline proposes to use existing TransCanada lines to send bitumen to New Brunswick

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

First the American government delayed the Keystone pipeline, which was intended to move petroleum from the Alberta oilsands to the Gulf of Mexico.

Then aboriginal communities and environmentalists in British Columbia threw a roadblock in front of Northern Gateway, which was supposed to move the same oil to the Pacific Ocean.

“Now it is our turn to say no,” says Louise May, owner-operator of Aurora Farm, a mixed livestock and crop farming operation on the southern outskirts of Winnipeg.

“Moving the product all the way across the Prairies to the East Coast for refining — from northern Alberta all the way to New Brunswick — I believe is where the refinery is being composed, so it then can be exported off to other places.

She said the plan is to use the existing TransCanada pipeline that is now used for natural gas, to transport bitumen.

Bitumen is an oilsands product with the consistency of chunky peanut butter. Its thickness would require it to be diluted before it could move through a pipe.

“They dilute the bitumen with a lot of harsh and sometimes dangerous chemicals,” said May. “So, you have this very volatile substance — they say it’s 1,000 times more

Winnipeg grower Louise May says decision makers will have to take notice if enough people oppose the plan to transport dangerous chemicals across the country in pipes that are up to 60 years old. | REBECA KUROPATWA PHOTO explosive than natural gas — flowing all the way across the country and in pipes that are be-tween 40 to 60 years old. I’m fighting it and don’t want it because it’s so dangerously close to my farm. I’d be opposed even if it wasn’t

so close to my farm, but the fact that it is so close to me (about two kilometres) makes it extremely tangible.”

May believes farmers on whose land the pipe runs will catch the problem before any monitoring sys-

tem does, even if there is no explosion. She lives about three kilometres from the city dump, and the pipeline runs between her property and the dump.

“The dump itself is a fire hazard, as

it’s completely full of methane, and they’ve already had a number of fires there,” she said.

“It’s not just me.… Yes, if those blow up, me and my animals and anyone here are probably going to be dead ... (at the least) for sure, very hastily evacuated.

She also expressed fears about the potential for toxic hydrogen sulfide gas to contaminate air in the south end of Winnipeg.

The National Energy Board has set up a method for people and groups that oppose the Energy East Pipeline to become interveners.

“There are 90 different individuals or groups in Winnipeg that have applied, including the City of Winnipeg,” May said.

She said the decision makers will have to stop and take notice if enough people, especially on the pipeline route, say “no” and fight the proposed pipeline project.

“That is what happened in the U.S., where a group of farmers raised enough awareness of the pending (Keystone) project for Obama to put his foot down,” she said.

“We just had a symposium on this a couple weeks ago and a farmer from the States came up. They really organized hard. It was them who really put a kibosh to it, by the farmers organizing themselves. That was neat to see. He gave a talk, had a concert in the field, did some land art, and organized the different community groups to come together.

“It was one of the things that Obama quoted when he made his decision to veto the bill. It’s something to me that grassroots community groups and, especially farmers, can come together to stop something that will hurt the land.”

U.S. group offers kits to test for herbicides

PotashCorp, Mosaic profits climb less than expected

(Reuters) — An advocacy group seeking a ban on the world’s most widely used herbicide said it is launching a U.S. public testing project to gather data on detectable levels of the herbicide in drinking water, human urine and breast milk.

The project, backed in part by organic organizations and critics of genetically modified crops, is the latest move in a brewing battle pitting agribusiness interests against consumer and environmental groups over the fate of glyphosate.

Feed the World, the group behind the effort, is offering test kits that can be ordered for US$119 each on its website at feedtheworld.info and sent to a central laboratory for processing.

Director Henry Rowlands said the group is providing validated testing that meets regulatory standards. The results are to be used to pressure regulators and lawmakers to limit and eventually ban glyphosate, he said.

Glyphosate was first registered for use in the United States in 1974 and has long been considered safe by U.S. and many foreign regulatory bodies.

It is widely used on crops, lawns, gardens and golf courses.

But some scientific studies have linked it to health problems, and last month a research unit of the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Monsanto spokespeson Charla L o rd s a i d a l l l a b e l l e d u s e s o f glyphosate are safe and had no further comment about the Feed the World Project.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is concluding an extended review of glyphosate and has said it will issue a preliminary risk assessment for public comment later this year. The agency has the power to ban the herbicide, impose new limits on its use or keep current rules in place.

The U.S. government does not test for glyphosate residues in foods, though it does test for other pesticide residues.

But a number of organizations have been sampling foods, urine and breast milk themselves, to try to determine the pervasiveness of glyphosate residues.

(Reuters) — North America’s two biggest potash producers, PotashCorp and Mosaic Co., have reported larger first-quarter profits, but results missed expectations.

PotashCorp, the world’s biggest fertilizer maker by market capitalization, cut its full-year profit forecast, and both companies warned potash prices could slide.

Prices are yet to recover after a collapse in 2013, which was triggered by Russia’s Uralkali exiting a trading venture with Belarus.

Prices have since improved but are under pressure from increased competition and a surplus of production capacity.

Weaker prices may stimulate demand later this year. Mosaic and Potash nudged their forecasts higher for 2015 global potash shipments, which they say could reach 60 million tonnes.

“With a strong second half to refill and meet the growing demand we’re seeing in India and China, we think we’re going into a tight potash market in the second half,” Mosaic chief executive offi-

cer Jim Prokopanko said.

Potash cut its full-year profit outlook to US$1.75 to $2.05 per share from $1.90-$2.20 per share, factoring in higher taxes in Saskatchewan and the disappointing quarter.

MOSAIC’S REVENUE ROSE

7.7 % TO $2.14 BILLION The change sent PotashCorp shares down two percent in New York and one percent in Toronto.

Mosaic shares rose slightly.

PotashCorp forecast secondquarter profit of 45 to 55 cents per share, which was lower than analysts’ average estimate of 56 cents, according to Thomson Reuters.

PotashCorp reported first quarter

profit of $370 million, or 44 cents per share, up from last year’s $340 million, or 40 cents, but missing the average estimate of 49 cents.

Mosaic earned $295 million, or 80 cents, up from $218 million and 54 cents. On an adjusted basis, the company earned 70 cents per share, missing analysts’ estimate of 74 cents.

For the second quarter, Mosaic expects to sell 2.3 to 2.7 million tonnes of phosphates, compared with 2.6 million a year earlier, at $425 to $450 per tonne for diammonium phosphate, the most widely used phosphorus fertilizer.

It sees sales of two to 2.4 million tonnes of potash during the quarter, down from 2.5 million, at $265 to $290 per tonne.

Prokopanko said Canpotex, the offshore potash seller for Mosaic, Potash and Agrium Inc., expects to sign a contract with Indian buyers in May. PotashCorp’s revenue slipped marginally to $1.67 billion, while Mosaic’s revenue rose 7.7 percent to $2.14 billion.

AG NOTES REAPPOINTMENTS TO FARM CREDIT CANADA

HOW IT’S DONE |

Jane Anne Merritt puts Copper through the basics during her driving clinic at the Mane Event in Red Deer April 24-26. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO

Dale Johnston has been reappointed chair of Farm Credit Canada’s board of directors and Doris Priddle has been reappointed to the board.

Both positions are four-year terms.

Johnston lives in Alberta’s Ponoka County, where he owns and operates a mixed farm.

He has more than four decades of farming experience, including a career in public service as a member of Parliament from 1993 to 2006.

He is a past councilor and the reeve for the County of Ponoka and has served on several boards there. He also continues to support organizations such as 4-H, Rural Crime Watch, Loyal Order of the Moose and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 66.

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

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

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

Why should you donate to brain cancer research?

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

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

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

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

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

Priddle is owner and manager of Priddle Farms Inc. in Campbellville, Ont. She has owned and managed farm operations in Ontario and Alberta.

She has also held government positions, including in the Ontario agriculture ministry, the Alberta agriculture ministry, the Alberta solicitor general’s office and the Alberta economic trade and development ministry.

SASK. GOV’T ANNOUNCES AG SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS Four Saskatchewan students have received scholarships from the agriculture ministry.

The four were selected from among applicants who had to provide a letter of reference and either a 1,000word essay or three-minute video about why agriculture is a good career choice.

Morgan Heidecker from Middle Lake won $4,000 for her video highlighting her passion for the industry.

Runners-up Shelby Evans of Kenaston, Alyxandria Harland of Lloydminster and Cassandra Maurer of Grenfell each won $2,000.

BEING SAFE AROUND ELECTRIC POWER SaskPower is urging Saskatchewan residents to take care when working near power lines, whether it be seeding, home improvements or construction worksites.

The company advised taking note of the location of power lines and planning ahead. This includes having someone to safely spot potential issues between equipment and power lines.

It’s necessary to always check for power lines before work begins, particularly digging. Phone Sask 1st Call at 866-828-4888 or visit www. sask1stcall.com.

If a piece of machinery makes contact with a power line, stay back and tell the operator to stay in the cab. Bystanders need to be at least 10 metres away. Call SaskPower immediately at 310-2220, or call 911.

The safest place for an operator who makes contact with a power line is inside the vehicle because electricity finds the easiest path to ground. The operator should wait inside the vehicle until SaskPower ensures the power is turned off.

Stay alert and always assume that fallen power lines may still be energized.

SaskPower safety ambassadors will visit communities across the province in May and June as part of a spring campaign.

A safety poster or decal can be downloaded from the internet, which can be used for reference by workers and employees.

WEED RESEARCH

Soybean’s popularity blamed for ragweed invasion in fields

GIANT RAGWEED CAN GROW UP TO

three metres

The crop has trouble competing with the weed, allowing it to spread

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

HARROW, Ont. — Ontario farmers have two reasons to be concerned when it comes to giant ragweed.

The weed, which can grow up to three metres high and produce prodigious amounts of seed, has become glyphosate resistant in the far southwestern corner of the province.

It’s also moved out of the ditch banks and into fields over the past couple decades.

Eric Page with Agriculture Canada said giant ragweed is now among the top five most troublesome weeds in Essex County and is the second most difficult to control.

“From the 1950s until the 1990s, giant ragweed was never a problem in southwestern Ontario,” Page said.

“If you look at the literature, giant ragweed is usually described as a ditch weed.”

His research has led him to believe that giant ragweed became a problem because of changes in crop rotation rather than the use of glyphosate.

Resistance developed only after the species began appearing in farmers’ fields.

“This study looks at how cropping practices have changed in the last 60 years. Glyphosate is part of that change, but it’s a late part.”

Sixty-five percent of Ontario was planted to wheat in 1950. There was a significant amount of corn, but soybeans were little more than a minor crop. Corn became the dominant crop by 1980, and soybeans had grown to become a major crop.

The soybean acreage has since risen dramatically. In 2011, half the farmland in Essex County was planted to the oilseed, and Page suspects the acreage was even higher last year.

The problem is that soybeans compete poorly with giant ragweed.

“The increase in acreage of soybeans is the single biggest factor that let giant ragweed out of the ditch and into the farm fields,” he said.

Page’s research involved planting corn varieties popular in the 1950s, 1980s and today to assess their respective ability to suppress giant ragweed.

He found that corn was able to reduce the weed’s seed production by 90 percent when pre-emergent herbicides were used.

As a result, he recommended that farmers with a giant ragweed problem include a greater percentage of corn in their rotation and plant a slightly higher population.

He also said glyphosate resistance can be managed or avoided by using a pre-emergent herbicide program and rotating chemistries from year to year.

Page said the yield impact from giant ragweed in corn is a fraction of what it is in soybeans. A wider rotation also promotes soil health and reduces disease and weed pressures.

MACHINERY SALES

Used warranty new option Machinery makers add warranty to help dealers manage large used inventories

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm machinery companies are certifying used gear to make it more attractive.

They say it’s more than putting lipstick on a pig.

The concept involves selling lowhour, high-end units with a thorough dealer servicing and a warranty.

The auto industry has been doing this for more than a decade, but it’s new for most machinery makers.

Barry Nelson of John Deere said dealers like the program because it is helping them move late model trades that they have taken during the past few years.

Higher commodity markets from 2008-14 resulted in many producers buying or leasing new equipment and trading relatively new units to obtain better technology and take advantage of tax programs that accelerated depreciation, as was the case in the United States.

In some cases, producers were trading equipment annually or every two years, resulting in low hour, high value machines landing on dealers’ lots.

“If you talk to a good, strong dealer, they have a program to deal with trade-ins,” Nelson said.

“But it has been hard for some dealers. They don’t want to say no to the sale of a new machine.”

Eric Lescourret of Agco said higher commodity prices have dramatically affected the used market.

“We could see it in the rise in demand for new and what that did for our company. We realized back in 2012 that we really needed to help our dealers manage their growing used equipment inventories. Frankly, their wash-out cycle,” he said.

“Those are big investments for dealers and they need to keep that stuff moving.”

He said a customer survey determined that the company had to take

ERIC LESCOURRET AGCO

the fear factor out of the purchase of a used machine.

“We started the pilot on a limited scale in 2013, beginning with high horsepower tractors, added combines and then we launched it nation wide. We now do it on larger tractors up to five years old, sprayers four years old and combines, large square baler and self propelled windrowers up to three years old,” he said.

“The way land prices, rent prices are (rising) right now and have been going the last five years, it lets expanding farmers get larger machinery at a price point where their budgets can afford it.”

Deere, Agco and CNH are offering certified used program. Each has its own spin on the programs, but the common factor is a year’s warranty.

Dan Danford of Case IH said the company expects the buying to change in the face of tighter farm margins in the next few years.

“A lot of owners have been buying new the past five years, but in the coming years they may be thinking used for a variety reasons. There are a lot of machines out there that are a year or two or more old, with 1,000 to 2,000 hours maximum,” he said.

“As a manufacturer, we need those used machines to move back into the farm system, so we encourage it by backing the farmer’s decision to buy used.” michael.raine@producer.com

PHOENIX, Ariz. — A new grain bagger from Loftness Specialized Equipment adds features that the company says will increase its portability and capacity.

The transport wheels are hydraulically lowered and raised.

there is no risk of burning up the brakes on your bagger,” said Nelson.

The Minnesota company debuted its latest 10 foot bagger at the Commodity Classic show in Phoenix earlier this year.

A crane lifts a cradle that holds the bag over the loading area. The jib and trolley haul the bag up and position it

at the top of the loader.

A drape runs under the bag and then is wound back into the machine’s pan.

It looks after drawing the bag in place.

Another change is a truck unloading auger, which allows the producer to load the machine without having to dump into the top loading hopper. A 20 inch auger feeds the loader into the bagging area.

The bagger can handle a 500 foot bag rather than the previous 330 foot bag. The machine lists at about US$35,000. michael.raine@producer.com

WEED OF THE WEEK: STINKWEED

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Stinkweed’s name sets it apart from most other happy-sounding weeds such as dandelion, lamb’s quarters and buckwheat.

It hasn’t got a rebellious name such as wild oats or locoweed, but it can make itself known when eaten by cows. However, it’s main sin is that it costs farmers money.

It is fairly easy to kill with the right products applied at the right time, but by the time farmers get the chance it has already sucked up a fist full of nutrient dollars.

As well, the winter annual will germinate from seed mid-season, after crops have passed most herbicide windows.

Stinkweed can withstand hard frosts in the spring and midseason droughts and still manage to produce up to 15,000 seeds in a single season.

The seeds are even tougher than the plants, with heavy seed coats that can remain viable in the soil for up to seven years. Seeds that are incorporated into the soil profile below the cropping region can last 20 years or more.

The plants grow up to 24 inches high and are often branched. They are typically shorter, but by the second week of May the weed can be more than 30 centimetres tall and difficult to kill.

Lower leaves can be in the form of a

rosette. Leaves are alternate and without hairs. The upper leaves clasp at the stem.

The small, white flowers are stalked with yellow to green centres. Seeds are held in tan coloured packets.

Stinkweed, formally known as Thlaspi arvense, is also called Frenchweed, pennygrass and fanweed.

Not only is it a pest on its own, but it also acts as host to other pests, including clubroot and the tarnished plant bug.

Beyond its ability to taint milk and meat with bad flavours, the weed contains enough glucosinolates to be toxic to livestock. During periods of drought, such as the late 1980s, researchers in Western Canada documented cattle abortions, animals off feed and even death from eating the weed.

The best time to deal with the pest is in the fall ahead of freeze up. Fall herbicide burn-off strategies tend to be successful.

MCPA or Bromoxynil with 2,4-D are effective at controlling the weed in the appropriate crops. Most Group 2 chemistries are also effective, but the weed has developed resistance to Group 2 herbicides in parts of Alberta.

G l y p h o s at e, g l u f o s i nat e a n d Clearfield products provide control in herbicide tolerant crops. Tillage can control the weed, but it will survive if not fully uprooted or chopped.

Western Canada.

Salinity results from the movement of dissolved salts in groundwater. As the water moves up in the soil profile and evaporates, it leaves the salt behind.

We have had a lot of water to move these salts over the last few years.

We have also had excess water in many fields, which has resulted in poor growth. With little growth, there is nothing to use the water, so more is available to evaporate.

Agrologist and researcher Les Henry, a leading authority on salinity, feels it is more of a water issue than a salt issue.

The water is moving the salt into the top layers of the soil, where it affects plant growth.

A number of situations create salinity, including artesian discharges, evaporitic rings around sloughs and side hill seeps. The long-term solution to all three situations is controlling water movement.

Artesian discharges are difficult for an individual farmer to change because they are a result of a large amount of water collecting over a wide recharge area and then moved over a large distance. It requires a regional plan to mitigate these issues, if they are able to be controlled at all.

Side hill seeps are similar to artesian discharges, but on a much smaller scale.

The management of side hill seeps starts with the discovery of the source of the water. This is referred to as the recharge area.

Excess water can be managed in the recharge area through draining or cropping decisions, such as eliminating fallow and ensuring a crop is growing every year. Planting perennial forages such as alfalfa and grasses is another strategy.

Evaporation rings around sloughs or depressions are the most common salinity issue in a wide area of the Prairies. Moisture from the slough migrates out and evaporates, leaving a saline ring.

Managing water is again the solution. Draining water from these depressions will remove the source of the problem.

Managing salinity that already exists is a long-term endeavor. Growing a crop on these areas is critical because drawing out excess moisture will allow rainfall to move salt back down through the soil profile.

Many crops do not grow in soil with high salinity levels. The most tolerant annual crops include canola, flax, mustard, wheat, fall rye, oats, barley,

69

safflower, sunflower and sugar beets.

Barley is the most tolerant to salinity.

Perennial crops such as wild rye grasses and slender wheat grasses can be successful in soil with a high salinity level.

New, saline tolerant hybrid wheatgrasses such as AC Saltlander and NewHy were developed by crossing quackgrass (elytrigia repens or agropyron repens) with bluebunch wheatgrass (pseudoroegneria spicata oragropyron spicatum). These hybrids have shown good tolerance to salinity while also producing good quality forage.

Products are often marketed as cures for salinity, and I admit that the concept of spraying something on a salinity patch or sprinkling a product on the ground and working it in to cure salinity is enticing. There are also amendments that can reduce the problems associated with alkali soils, and these are often marketed as cures for salinity.

ALKALI SOILS HAVE A SODIUM CONTENT EXCEEDING

15% Sadly there are no magic sprays or powders or granules that will cure salinity. Keep your money in your pocket or invest it in drainage.

For further reference, get a copy of Henry’s Handbook of Soil and Water.

It is a must-have for every farmer in Western Canada. Provincial resources about managing salinity are also available online in Saskatchewan.

Salt tolerant weeds, such as kochia and foxtail barley, draw attention to saline soil. Try to figure out where that water is coming from. If you control the water, you will stop the spread and get the payback of more top quality land to farm tomorrow.

If you have a product that will cure salinity, have the scientific data that shows this and can show evidence of this in the field, I will review the information and, if it works, highlight it in a future column.

Backyard flocks spur interest in heritage breeds University initiative preserves old genetics and distributes rare birds to small flock owners throughout Alberta

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Who knew people cared so much about chickens.

Workers recently loaded 5,500 dayold chicks from five rare, heritage breeds into a truck and sent them to their new homes across Alberta.

They will be raised for meat and laying eggs and help preserve the genetics of the rare birds.

The idea of raising flocks of heritage chickens and helping preserve the rare breeds has caught on across the province, said Agnes Kulinski, business director of the University of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Poultry Research Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It reminds them of what they grew up with on the farm or their grandparentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The five breeds are Barred Plymouth Rock, Light Sussex, Rhode Island Red, Brown Leghorn and Random Breed 1978 with Barred Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red being the most popular. The large birds are good for meat and laying eggs.

The university sold 800 chicks last year through two Peavey Marts in Alberta. This year, they were delivered to all 17 Peavey Marts in the province.

The $20,000 to $30,000 raised from the sales will help develop a proper breeding program for the heritage chickens. Inbreeding because of a small genetic pool is the biggest problem with heritage and rare breeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this creates an awareness and creates a sustainable program,â&#x20AC;? said Kulinski.

The average number of chicks bought through the program was 21.

The birds were sold to farms and acreages and for use in backyard flocks in Edmonton.

The program began as a way to help maintain the poultry research centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage breeds following university cutbacks.

The Adopt A Heritage Chicken Program allowed people to adopt a heri-

tage chicken, name it and receive a dozen eggs every two weeks.

Two hundred people participated in a pilot project in 2013, and another 600 were placed on a waiting list.

Last year, 400 people paid $150 each and 400 were on the waiting list.

The program helped raise $60,000.

The numbers are the same this year but likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase because of space constraints. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a research facility. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise research space for these birds,â&#x20AC;? said poultry professor Frank Robinson.

However, the program is providing a niche for people who want to help preserve the birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; genetics and learn more about food.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is providing a niche and the University of Albert can provide that.

L e t â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ma k e t h e b e s t u s e o f t h e research facility,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The adoption and sales programs fill a desire for people who want to raise chickens, especially heritage chickens, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The resurgence of backyard flocks has created a demand for the birds,â&#x20AC;? said Robinson, who has held two weekend workshops on flock production and the importance of biosecurity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movement that is going to happen. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help them do that the most carefully they can.â&#x20AC;? mary.macarthur@producer.com

to set a new tax formula from July 1.

Vedomosti reported the ministry had proposed that exporters should pay $1 per tonne as a symbolic duty as long as the price does not exceed US$237.25 per tonne and offers several ways of calculating the duty when the price is higher.

It may be set either at 30 percent of the export price minus $69, or at 40 percent of the export price minus $93, the paper said, quoting two ministry officials and a grain market source.

The ministry confirmed the report but emphasized that the scenarios were just two of several proposals that had yet to be agreed upon by other government agencies.

Vedomosti said the new formula will most likely apply to wheat exports, replacing the duty imposed Feb. 1 to try to cool domestic food inflation as the ruble tumbled.

ADM launches sustainable soy certification program in Brazil The effort is in response to Europe’s demand for proof that the soybeans did not contribute to deforestation or use slave labour SAO PAULO, Brazil (Reuters) — Archer Daniel Midlands Co., one of the world’s largest grain traders, said it is launching a sustainable soybean certification program in Brazil with an eye to meeting the demand of European buyers.

The program, which should include 120 of the 6,000 Brazilian producers growing soy for ADM by the end of the year, is targeting the European Union, and the Netherlands in particular, said Amanda Cosenza, sustainability manager for ADM in South America.

Brazil, the world’s No. 2 soybean producer after the United States, ships nearly 70 percent of its soy-

beans to China, though some exporters are seeking to diversify in light of slower economic growth in Asia’s largest economy.

Other companies in Brazil are also working to prove their soybeans did not contribute to deforestation of the Amazon rain forest or employ slave labour.

ADM’s program will expand in coming years and will likely be launched in Paraguay as well, Cosenza said.

“This fits with demand,” she said in an interview.

Our focus until May 2016 will be to ensure that all ADM producers are registered. There will be new conversations in 2016 to see what the next steps are.

elled to Europe last month to discuss soybean sustainability and its Soja Plus program.

The private sector’s efforts to meet Europe’s demand for sustainable soybeans, a key ingredient in animal feed, comes amid a shift in govern-

ment policy.

Brazil last year extended a moratorium on buying soybeans grown in illegally cleared land in the Amazon rainforest until May 2016.

By then the government hopes to finish a registry of all farming prop-

erty in Brazil, considered a first step toward implementing a new forestry code that was passed in 2012.

Some environmental groups have criticized the looming end to the soybean moratorium, especially as a new shipping route via river barges in the Amazon opens up. The Brazilian government and industries say that other controls will replace the moratorium, ensuring soybean does not contribute to deforestation.

“Our focus until May 2016 will be to ensure that all ADM producers are registered,” said Cosenza. “There will be new conversations in 2016 to see what the next steps are.”

Diligent biosecurity halts disease spread PED has heightened awareness of how diseases can spread, especially from farm to farm through livestock trailers

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A deadly virus that killed millions of pigs in the United States motivated a Canadian trucking company to get innovative when attempting to keep disease out of its livestock trailers.

“The PED (porcine epidemic diarrhea) virus came along and we were looking at ways to heat the trailers and kill some of the bacteria and viruses,” said Bill Rempel of Steve’s Transport.

The company has been working for about a year to find ways to sterilize livestock trailers that may carry the virus.

It used research money from the Growing Forward program to add state of the art drive-through washing bays, a baking bay and an undercarriage washing system in Manitoba. A similar system is coming to Red Deer.

Truckers are asked to wash equipment thoroughly after hauling livestock, but it is often difficult to dry trailers properly to make sure the virus is wiped out, Rempel told the Canadian Livestock Transportation conference held in Calgary May 7.

The new wash bays ensure hard to reach areas are washed and sanitized properly. The final step places the trailer in another bay, where temperatures of 71 C heat the equipment thoroughly.

A transport biosecurity program was already in place in Canada the year before PED arrived, but the dis-

ease showed that everyone in the industry must remain diligent to keep out a disease that killed millions of pigs in the U.S. “PED has truly changed the landscape of how we manage pigs and how we transport pigs, especially in Western Canada,” said Julia Keenliside, an Alberta agriculture epidemiologist.

Animal transport is a growing issue for health care, and diligent biosecurity on rolling stock can help prevent the spread of disease.

Farms are typically far apart, which makes it relatively easy to control disease on the Prairies.

However, foot-and-mouth disease and PED can travel on objects like clothes, vehicles, boots, feed and water.

Western provinces stepped up biosecurity measures to stop PED at the Manitoba border when the disease broke in Ontario.

Transportation units are a critical link in spreading diseases, so strict biosecurity becomes everyone’s responsibility.

“The fact that we have been able to keep PED out of Western Canada, especially Alberta, is everybody’s responsibility,” she said.

Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta implemented surveillance programs, and the pork associations are starting a truck wash registration program.

Travel routes and cleaning practices have changed since the outbreak.

Drivers are getting educated about

where they may walk, and more information is available on how to wash trucks, loading docks and other areas associated with pig movement.

However, most agree biosecurity can be difficult and corners are sometimes cut, especially during the winter. It is hard to change clothes, clean equipment and wash and dry trucks in cold temperatures.

Trailers can be hard to clean, particularly getting all the manure out of the slats, walls, corners and floors.

Drying is easier in sunny weather, but finding places to dry trucks in winter is difficult when it is extremely cold.

Surveillance is also ongoing. More than 6,000 samples have been collected at Alberta assembly yards, trucks and processing plants since January 2014.

One positive case was found on an office floor where somebody walked in with dirty boots. A second check did not find another positive result.

Sparrows nesting in an assembly yard left behind feces. Those were collected, and a new virus closely related to the porcine virus was found.

National traceability also became mandatory last summer for hogs.

Every time a pig moves anywhere, the activity is reported to the provincial organization on a manifest.

Meat inspectors check for the manifests in Alberta, and fines are administered if there is no identification. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Study examines reasons behind shipping of unhealthy animals

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

A two-year study wants to find out why cattle in poor shape show up at auctions and processing plants.

“We are looking at what is compromised and where are they coming from and what are the conditions that make this worse,” said Karen Schwartzkopf-Genswein of Agriculture Canada.

The beef and dairy industries want to know how many cattle are arriving sick, crippled or damaged in some other way. The study, which will start later this year, is supported by the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association,

KAREN SCHWARTZKOPFGENSWEIN AGRICULTURE CANADA

Alberta Beef Producers, Alberta Farm Animal Care and the University of Calgary.

Its goals were explained at the Canadian Livestock Transportation conference held in Calgary May 6.

The study is still in the planning stages, and co-operation is being sought from 25 Alberta auction

yards, 50 provincial abattoirs and two federal slaughter plants.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has strict guidelines on the handling of these animals. Many should never leave the farm, but they do show up.

The agency describes a compromised animal as one with reduced capacity to travel but may be transported if it does not lead to undue suffering. These may be shipped locally for veterinary care, euthanization or humane slaughter.

An unfit animal has reduced capacity to withstand transportation, which will lead to undue suffering.

Unfit animals may be transported

only for veterinary treatment or diagnosis. A degree of discretion is allowed when moving these animals.

“It is dependent on the stage of some of these and the severity of some of these conditions before they would be considered compromised,” said Schwartzkopf-Genswein.

For example, animals may have a visible limp but can still walk. There should be no broken legs. Some may have dermatitis, founder or cancer eye.

Researchers will look for uterine and rectal prolapses as well as poor body condition score to assess whether they are thin or overly fat.

The animal’s age and sex will be considered. Weather and distance of trav-

el, driver experience and market conditions are also taken into account.

Illness or injury might include bleeding wounds, lesions, broken horns, respiratory disease or lump jaw. Swollen udders and heavily pregnant animals will be noted.

Other conditions might be nervous system disorders, poisoning or a reportable disease.

Researchers also want to know how the animals are disposed of and where they came from.

Threatened species label only on public bison herds

Alta. ranchers top users in price insurance plan; little interest for hogs

Private ranchers worry the designation will hurt bison trade with the U.S.

Deadline for fall market calves is May 28

BY KAREN BRIERE

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Canadian Bison Association says people should not confuse what a threatened species designation for wild Plains bison would mean for commercial operations.

The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has considered wild Plains bison threatened since May 2004. That status was re-examined and reconfirmed in November 2013.

However, the federal government has never added Plains bison to its list under species at risk legislation because it worried about the potential economic impact on private bison ranches.

CBA executive director Terry Kremeniuk said people must be aware that the committee’s recommendations are for public bison herds such as the one in Grasslands National Park.

“They’re asking for feedback from stakeholders and people have until Oct. 15 to provide feedback,” he said.

“At that point in time, the information will be assembled and the government will be required to make a decision as to whether or not they adhere to the COSEWIC recommendations.

“The recommendations only

focus on the wild bison. We differentiate them as public herds and private herds.”

While the endangered wildlife committee rated Plains bison as threatened, it moved Wood bison from threatened to the improved status of species of special concern.

There are five wild herds of Plains bison in Canada: Pink Mountain in British Columbia, Elk Island in Alberta and Grasslands National Park, McCusker River and Sturgeon River in Saskatchewan.

The population of mature bison in these five herds totals about 1,500, according to committee data, and has grown by 36 percent since 2004.

The wild Wood bison herd is larger, at about 7,000 mature animals in nine subpopulations, in Greater Wood Buffalo, Elk Island and HayZama in Alberta, Nordquist in B.C., Etthithun in B.C. and Alta., Mackenzie in the Northwest Territories, Nahanni in N.W.T. and B.C., Aishihik in Yukon and Chitek Lake in Man. Wood Buffalo National Park contains 60 percent of the total wild Wood population.

Populations are strong, although several herds have suffered losses in recent years. For example, anthrax caused the Mackenzie herd to lose 53 percent of its animals, while the Hay-Zama population dropped by

20 percent because of starvation during a severe winter, the endangered wildlife committee said.

Wood bison were first designated endangered in April 1978, then upgraded to threatened 10 years later and finally to special concern in 2013.

The committee said hunting is the greatest threat to wild bison populations, but disease and weather also play critical roles. Recoveries are difficult because of fragmented habitat.

Kremeniuk said bison producers support conservation and the wild populations, but it’s imperative people understand the difference.

All the bison are wild, but they live in different circumstances, he added.

“We want to work with them to help them achieve their goals, and we also want to work together so they allow us to achieve our goals,” he said.

“There are concerns that if bison are identified as a threatened species, it may have some impact on bison trade with the U.S., for example, or other countries.”

He said the bison association would submit its concerns about the committee’s recommendations to the government. karen.briere@producer.com

The numbers are in after the first year of a four-year pilot program offering price insurance to livestock producers.

The Western Livestock Price Insurance Program was announced early last year and modelled after an existing program in Alberta. It is intended to help producers ride out the highs and lows of the cattle market by locking in a floor price.

Since then, prices have hit record highs.

Alberta producers remain the top users of the program as of March 31, but tens of thousands of cattle in the other provinces were also insured.

Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. chief executive officer Shawn Jaques said he expects participation to go up, even though the province didn’t pay out any claims.

“We are expecting more price insurance policies to be purchased in this second year as producers become more familiar with the program,” he said.

SHAWN JAQUES SASKATCHEWAN CROP INSURANCE CORP.

“ The strong livestock market means producers can protect some very high market prices should something happen to turn the market lower.”

Insurance for calves to be marketed this fall must be bought by May 28, but insurance for feeders, fed cattle and hogs can be bought at any time.

Participation in the hog program has been poor. SaskPork said when the program was announced that the sector would prefer a hedging program.

In Manitoba, a single hog policy for six hogs paid out $15 last year. karen.briere@producer.com

EQUINE HEALTH

Don’t show love for your horse with food, says equine expert A horse may need to be put on a diet if its back is so fat it looks like a tabletop, says veterinarian

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

COCHRANE, Alta. — Horses that eat too much and exercise too little put on weight that can affect their health.

“Feed by weight and feed judiciously. You can kill a horse with kindness,” says horse expert Ron Anderson of Calgary.

A horse should eat 1.5 to two percent of its body weight per day. For example, a 1,000 pound horse should consume about 20 lb. per day.

Horses require a lot of foragebased bulk in their diet, which provides adequate protein, energy, vitamins and minerals.

A 1,000 POUND HORSE SHOULD CONSUME ABOUT

20 lb. per day Overweight horses may have serious health problems such as skin problems or stress on limbs and internal organs.

Veterinarian Brettly Battistone of

Burwash Equine Services said body condition scoring can be used to evaluate body fat in relation to body musculature with a ranking system from one to nine.

It is based on fat deposition in the loin, ribs, tail head, withers, neck and shoulder. A score of five is moderate, but making a proper assessment requires a visual and physical examination.

“Half of it is looking at the horse and the other half is actually feeling what is it there, especially in the wintertime,” Battistone said.

A good hair coat can hide underlying problems, especially among older horses that are getting too thin.

The horse may look fine, but a

hands-on check may discover prominent ribs. Alternatively, a horse becomes so fat that its back looks like a tabletop and there is trouble fitting a saddle.

Other factors need to be considered when deciding if a horse needs to go on a diet.

“The breed of the horse also depends how it deposits its fat,” she said.

It is also important to consider the horse’s level of activity. A high performance horse burns plenty of energy and may need supplemental grain compared to one that spends most of its time quietly living in a pasture. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

COCHRANE, Alta. — Horse owners need to know basic first aid because a veterinarian is not always nearby.

“First aid is something every horse owner should know,” said Calgary horse trainer Ron Anderson.

Horse owners can learn to treat minor problems, administer dewormers and give vaccinations, he told a horse workshop held in Cochrane April 29.

The veterinarian should be called for dentistry problems, colic, serious wounds and lameness.

A basic first aid kit is recommended on the farm, and it is worth knowing the horse’s vital signs such as temperature, heart beat and respiration, said veterinarian Brettly Battistone of Burwash Equine Services in Calgary.

“These are things you can learn to do at home,” she said. “It is a good status check for your horse. If its temperature is elevated, that is something you should get concerned about.”

A horse’s normal temperature is 38 C, heart beat is 36 to 42 beats per minute and respiration is eight to 20 breaths per minute. Changes could indicate illness or stress. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

A HORSE FIRST AID KIT SHOULD INCLUDE: • Veterinarian’s phone number.

• Four disposable diapers and duct tape that can be used for hoof bandaging.

• Thermometer and records of the horse’s normal temperature and heart rate.

• Latex gloves.

• Sheet cotton or quilted stable wipes.

• Self adhesive bandage material.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Timing is key if euthanasia is required ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

E

uthanasia is defined as the practice of intentionally ending a life in a painless, humane fashion to relieve pain and suffering.

It can be a difficult subject to discuss, even within agriculture.

Some producers are reluctant to consider euthanasia because they don’t want to “give up” on an animal.

It is, however, an important subject, especially in terms of animal welfare.

It was deemed so important that it merits its own chapter within the new Beef Cattle Code of Practice by the National Farm Animal Care Council.

The ultimate desired outcome outlined in the code is that cattle are euthanized when necessary in a timely and effective manner.

The first part of that statement refers to a timely euthanasia when necessary. Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules about when an animal should be euthanized.

The code of practice lists a few examples where cattle should be euthanized or culled without delay, including: • When cattle are unlikely to recover.

• When cattle fail to respond to treatment and convalescent protocols.

• When cattle have chronic, severe or debilitating pain and distress.

• When cattle are unable to get to or consume feed and water.

• When cattle show continuous weight loss or emaciation.

Cattle that are down and unable to rise are one of the common dilemmas on many livestock operations.

There can be many reasons why a cow can’t get up, including spinal injuries, lameness and leg injuries, metabolic disorders such as milk fever or tetany, severe infections or diseases of the nervous system.

All of these disorders have a different prognosis, and the first step is for a veterinarian to ascertain a possible diagnosis.

Once a possible diagnosis has been established, it is much easier to establish a prognosis and a plan for further treatment or to decide if euthanasia is the best alternative.

It’s important to remember that cattle that cannot rise without assistance, are reluctant to walk or exhibit halted movement are considered non-ambulatory and are not to be transported according to the Health of Animals Regulation.

These cattle have to be treated, slaughtered or euthanized on-farm.

Animals to be treated must be in a sheltered place where the footing is good so that they don’t slip and fall if they attempt to stand.

Adult cattle that are down can quickly suffer muscle damage as a result of lying on one side, especially if on a hard surface. These animals should be well bedded and possibly be rolled so that they can occasion-

ally lie on their opposite side to prevent serious muscle damage.

It is difficult to continue providing adequate nursing care to these types of patients for a long time period except in special circumstances. In many cases, it may be necessary to consider euthanasia.

Except in exceptional circumstances, most down animals that are not improving should be considered for euthanasia within 24 to 48 hours.

Emergency slaughter or euthanasia may also be considered for broken legs or severe disease where recovery is unlikely.

Emergency slaughter may be difficult if the animal cannot be humanely transported because on-farm slaughter is not always a possibility in every situation. It is vitally important that producers are thinking about euthanasia as an alternative in these situations where the prognosis for recovery is poor.

I encourage producers to read the Code of Practice where it describes the various ways of euthanizing cattle, including gunshot and approved euthanasia drugs.

It is important that the animal is rendered insensible and that death is confirmed by observing the animal carefully for lack of respiration and heartbeat.

The code is available online at www.nfacc.ca/codes-of-practice/ beef-cattle.

MEAT SAFETY

Technology could reveal E. coli, bruising

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — Electronic technology could revolutionize the cattle industry.

Smartphones capable of reading individual cattle identification tags and scanners to detect E. coli 0157:H7 or find internal bruises are at the prototype stage, said Mark Klassen of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

The mobile tag reader is at the second prototype stage, he told the CCA annual meeting earlier this year.

“We want to make it so if you know how to use your phone, you would know how to use this,” he said.

The CCA worked with the radio frequency research laboratory at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in Calgary to develop an attachment that allows smartphones and tablets to read electronic ear tags. The information is sent via an application downloaded on iPhone or Android devices.

“It communicates to the phone via Bluetooth like a wireless headset,” said Glen Kathler of SAIT. The school is also working on a high frequency tag that will be tested in cattle herds this spring. Readability and retention will be part of the trial, he said.

A new technology for packing plants could automatically swab pieces of trimmed meat while they are still on the conveyor belt. The equipment

could check for E. coli 0157:H7 on trim before it ends up mixed in a large bin.

Food safety regulations in Canada and the United States say that these large bins, which can hold up to 2,000 pounds of meat, must be probed to collect 60 thin samples from throughout the container. Each sample is examined for bacterial contamination. The process costs $1 million a year, and it is difficult to obtain representative samples.

A research project is investigating whether swabbing pieces with a rotating wheel at the end of the trim line would provide better and faster results.

“Under the correct circumstances, we can make swabbing work as well or better as cutting off beef,” he said.

“Instead of trying to figure out how to get to the bottom or the middle of the meat, we are trying to sample all the trim literally before it goes into the bin.”

Klassen said the CCA filed a petition to the federal government last year that asked it to approve irradiation, which is capable of killing dangerous pathogens. Nothing has happened.

Canada has spent 17 years considering whether the process should be allowed for food safety purposes. It is approved in the United States, and packages are labelled accordingly.

Klassen is also overseeing a national beef quality audit, which looks for

flaws such as carcass bruising and liver abscesses.

The injuries are often below the surface, and inspectors do not see them. Those that are found on the carcass surface are cut away.

Advances in computer vision systems could detect problems such as internal bruising.

Prediction algorithms need to be developed so that the system could determine if a bruise is present. Such a project would require 14 technical personnel from Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Lacombe, Alta., and 150 cattle operations.

The audit is also assessing livers for lesions, and education programs are in development to keep those organ meats healthy.

Scanners might work well when these are inspected.

“We did find that although some livers looked clear from the perspective of their external surface, CFIA is still putting them into pet food because they could feel lesions when they palpated them,” Klassen said.

The quality audit is also assessing whether beef is more tender than it was in 2009, when there were still complaints about toughness.

For the first time, the audit will also look at label claims in Canadian retail meat cases. Auditors will document how many labels claim beef is organic, humanely raised or antibiotic free. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Long before the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) was established, the University of Saskatchewan College of Agriculture’s Department of Veterinary Science provided veterinary diagnostic services for veterinarians and livestock producers in the northern half of Saskatchewan while a small laboratory in Regina served the southern population.

In 1964 the WCVM’s Department of Veterinary Microbiology took over the diagnostic services until 1966 once the college’s Department of Pathology had hired enough staff to take on the role. For several years, WCVM veterinary students and veterinary diagnosticians shared space in a cramped laboratory housed in an old garage on campus. Once construction was completed, the diagnostic laboratory was moved into the new veterinary college.

Saskatchewan’s growing livestock industry and an increased demand for diagnostic services soon created a strain on the veterinary faculty and interfered with the college’s teaching and research needs. Rather than setting up a separate laboratory for the northern and central parts of the province, the provincial government established an annual grant in 1979 that allowed WCVM departments to hire the additional staff they needed to serve the public.

Meanwhile, Regina’s smaller lab had become the provincial veterinary laboratory in 1969, and the two facilities worked together to provide services to Saskatchewan. In 1999, the two laboratories were amalgamated into a non-profit corporation called Prairie Diagnostic Services Inc. (PDS). A board of directors governs the corporation with funding provided by the Province of Saskatchewan and the U of S as well as fees for service from clients.

Today, PDS employs 65 people in Saskatoon (its Regina location closed in 2009). Its labs and offices are located at the WCVM in a new veterinary laboratory complex that was completed in 2011 as part of the college’s major infrastructure project.

The white tanks at West Coast Reduction on the south shore of Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet harbour can hold 84,000 tonnes of canola oil or other liquid fat in preparation for loading on ships sailing to China and around the world. | WEST COAST REDUCTION PHOTO VEGETABLE OIL EXPORTS

Renderer a major canola mover West Coast Reduction, a processor of meat and fish byproducts, also ships canola oil at port facility

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola growers might be surprised to learn what company plays a vital role in shipping their vegetable oil to export markets.

West Coast Reduction has become a major player in the industry.

“We’re the gateway to the marketplace for the canola oil business,” said president Barry Glotman.

The company built its reputation in the agriculture industry by becoming the largest independent renderer in Western Canada, with facilities in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and Nanaimo, B.C. It picks up meat and fish byproducts unsuitable for human consumption from farms, feedlots, restaurants, butcher shops, supermarkets and processors and renders them into finished products.

The company renders 10,000 tonnes of beef, pork, poultry and fish byproducts a week into several types of meal and tallow.

It has a large storage tank farm at its terminal in Port Metro Vancouver, which was originally built to export tallow to Asia.

However, the tanks are increasingly being filled with canola oil destined for export markets.

Canada exported 2.37 million tonnes of canola oil last year, according to the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association.

Much of the oil is shipped by rail to the United States, and the rest goes by ship to overseas markets, primarily in the Pacific Rim. “As far as the exports offshore, we probably handle close to two-thirds of it,” said Rob Jones, director of sales with West Coast Reduction.

Glotman is confident the canola side of his family business will continue to grow. For example, Richardson International recently completed an expansion of its crush facility in Yorkton, Sask., and is working on doubling capacity at its Lethbridge plant.

“The future looks very bright for more volumes to be able to come

through Port Metro Vancouver,” he said. “We’re very bullish on growing that business, and that’s why in the last year we’ve spent a lot of money on infrastructure to be able to provide services as that industry grows.”

The company has completed a $9.5 million expansion of its shipping terminal in April, upgrading rail lines and a piping system that delivers oil to marine vessels.

The upgrades increased the firm’s canola oil handling capacity by 25 percent.

West Coast Reduction has 84,000 tonnes of liquid storage capacity. It ships 600,000 tonnes of canola oil and canola biodiesel and 150,000 tonnes of tallow a year out of the facility.

Jones said the company now has the capacity to ship one million tonnes of canola per year, so the facility is currently underused.

It stores and loads canola oil for Archer Daniels Midland, Richardson International and other smaller clients.

It also exports biodiesel from ADM’s

processing plant in Lloydminster, Alta.

West Coast Reduction ships oil to China, South Korea, Japan, Chile, Mexico and other markets.

“Canola oil from our facility really goes anywhere in the world,” said Jones.

Bunge and Cargill use the recently commissioned canola oil storage facility at Vancouver’s Pacific Coast Terminal to get product to market.

Bunge used to have storage tanks at Neptune Terminals in Vancouver, but those are being converted to coal storage.

Pacific Coast Terminal loaded its first vessel March 17. The facility has 45,000 tonnes of storage capacity and is expected to ship 400,000 tonnes of oil annually for the next two years and then increase exports to 750,000 tonnes annually.

Louis Dreyfus, the other big player in the canola crushing business, ships most of its product by rail to the United States. sean.pratt@producer.com

Russian transport minister Maxim Sokolov said the countries would also invest $19.7 billion in an 800 kilometre rail link between Moscow and the Russian city of Kazan to be completed by 2020. Putin said the level of Chinese investment would be around $5.85 billion.

COMMON DENOMINATORS

Ditch labels, share ideas to build strong ag network THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

O

ne neighbour helped her select the right tractor for vegetable farming. Another gave her an old two-row potato planter as an engagement present.

Those sorts of neighbourly acts helped Lydia Ryall in her farming career. The fact that most producers in her area are conventional and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic never enters the equation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good producer is a good producer,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what should garner respect.â&#x20AC;?

The truth is that farmers in Ryallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small corner of British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lower Mainland have bigger things to worry about than their neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farming philosophy. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an endangered species and they know it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of mutual respect among growers in our area, and the biggest reason why we get together is land-use issues,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Delta is one of the few municipalities left where we still have some good large parcels of land and you can farm full time. We know we have to work together to protect that.â&#x20AC;?

The 30-year-old operates Cropthorne Farm on Westham Island, the last bit of mainland Canada before you hit the Pacific Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of my biggest goals is to have productive farmland in the Lower Mainland remain farmland, so I want my neighbours to do well, regardless of how they choose to farm,â&#x20AC;? says Ryall.

She enjoys growing crops organically but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t label herself by her production method. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear a dairy guy introduce himself as a supply-managed farmer,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a farmer. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I think of myself.â&#x20AC;?

Ryall always wanted to farm, but taking over her parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 18 acres of greenhouses and managing its 100 employees wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was too structured,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be outside, with my hands in the dirt, rather than being in the office.â&#x20AC;?

As a teen, she had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;romanticâ&#x20AC;? dream of ranching in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chilcotin.

However, six years ago, after getting her agricultural degree in Alberta and working there for a while, she started growing vegetables on a small acreage she rented from her parents.

Organic was the right fit with her vision of being a good steward of the land, and premium prices for organic produce made her start-up operation financially viable.

Her parents bought 50 acres on Westham Island, south of Vancouver, after selling their greenhouse and rent 15 acres to Ryall and her sister, Rachel.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intensive operation with hoop houses to maintain year-round production and two year-round employees and five seasonal workers. Its success earned Ryall the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outstanding Young Farmer award last year.

The honour was nice, but the best

thing was connecting with other OYF winners, she says. All were large operations (dairy, beef, grains, and potatoes) and none were organic.

However, that made no difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked a bit about potatoes with Andrew and Heidi (Lawless) from P.E.I., but it was mostly about things like managing employees and risk,â&#x20AC;? says Ryall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could look at their farm or one in Saskatchewan and see what made them successful. So we talked about how to bring those things into your operation.â&#x20AC;?

That last comment is something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear from every Outstanding Young Farmer, and why they keep in touch, often forming life-long friend-

Organic grower Lydia Ryall says all types of farmers need to work together. | CROPTHORNE FARM PHOTO ships. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to share details of their business strategy, and even finances, with each other.

Tractor advice was helpful in the early days, but Ryall now needs a network of colleagues that she can talk frankly to about managing people or evaluating business opportunities. And those relationships donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t develop if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hung up on things like whether someone is an organic or conventional farmer, she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers are two percent of the population, if that. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really low number,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be bickering about how we are farming any more than we do about what colour of tractor we drive. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important is making sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all productive and able to keep farming.â&#x20AC;?

The simple truth is that your farm

will be more successful if you have a network of progressive farmers you can talk openly and honestly with.

And the more diverse that network, the better. That wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen if you talk only to people who grow what you grow or employ the production methods you employ.

Ideas for making your farm business prosper can come from anywhere. So why would you want that sort of fence around your farm?
