Frost hits Manitoba canola Minnedosa farmer will have to re-seed crop

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

But rail service and capacity remain the main bottlenecks for farmers

Justin Jenner is holding out hope, but he will probably have to reseed nearly 1,000 acres of canola.

Jenner, who runs a 4,500 acre grain and cattle operation near Minnedosa, Man., said June 1 that a hard frost acutely damaged his canola fields.

Jenner plans to make a decision on re-seeding soon, but he wasn’t feeling optimistic.

“It’s looking like most of the (fields) will have to be reseeded,” said Jenner, a Keystone Agricultural Producers vice-president.

“We had a couple of fields that got flea beetles real bad. The frost kind of finished them off.”

Grain groups pleased by new terminal plans

»

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The grain sector is buoyant about news that Port Metro Vancouver is likely getting a new grain terminal, although some wonder how much impact it will have on exports through the port.

“For farmers we’re pretty excited about it,” said Gary Stanford, president of Grain Growers of Canada.

“It’s just another outlet to get our grain on ships. I hate seeing all the ships sit there in the winter time with demurrage.”

News broke last week that there will likely be an announcement before the end of 2015 that a major

player in the Canadian grain industry will build a new export terminal.

Stanford has heard it will be built

by G3 Global Grain Group, the company owned by Bunge and the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC), which recently acquired a majority interest in CWB. He said the scuttlebutt is that the new facility will have a loop track unloading system that will expedite rail car turnaround.

“For us as grain producers to get the cars back out here to the country quicker would be a real benefit for us,” said Stanford.

Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Ele-

vator Association, said competition is always welcome with one important caveat.

“As long as it is done by a company without government assistance then it’s fair game,” he said.

Sobkowich doubts a new export terminal will result in any more grain moving through the system unless other changes take place.

“Rail service and rail capacity is really the bottleneck,” he said.

West coast terminals have the working capacity to unload 686,615 tonnes of grain per week but have been unloading closer to 450,000 tonnes per week on average.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Educate public to gain support, understanding

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Talking about the complexities of farming and livestock to non-farm people can be vexing, but some livestock industry leaders say it’s key to self-preservation, especially when regulations or consumer campaigns are developing.

“If we’re not helping them make decisions, they’ll still make decisions that affect us,” said Ryder Lee, the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association Ottawa lobbyist about retailers and food processors, who are under pressure to ensure their products are humanely and sustainably raised.

“They’ve got lots of ‘help’ to make decisions from people who aren’t interested in whether it matters, whether it works for beef producers.”

That includes animal rights activists and other extremists who are fundamentally opposed to many elements of modern agriculture.

LAND INVESTMENT PLAN

Firm appeals land ownership ruling Previous court rulings say Skyline’s financing model violates Saskatchewan law

KEN PERLICH LIVESTOCK MARKETS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA

BY SEAN PRATT

Ken Perlich, the retiring president of the Livestock Markets Association of Canada, said it is important for auction marts and other parts of the livestock industry to be involved with Agriculture Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials and regulators because many rules are being formed and tweaked right now.

Traceability has been an ongoing issue, with people like LMAC trying to ensure that requirements are actually feasible in the real world of livestock transportation, sale and movement.

The same goes for proposed changes to livestock transportation rules.

Regulators and officials need to know if there is going to be a problem before a rule is implemented.

“We’ll continue to make sure we meet with them, make sure we tell those folks . . . that our issues are not yet being heard,” said Perlich.

Lee said being involved with broadbased efforts to develop humane handling and environmental rules is important to convince the public that farmers care, to ensure rules are reasonable, and to avoid the possibility that farmers could be cut out of the decision-making process.

“If we’re not engaged . . . we get regulated,” said Lee.“If things are seen to be not taken care of, government will take care of us.” ed.white@producer.com

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Skyline Agriculture Financial is appealing a court ruling that prevents it from offering a unique financing model for growers interested in acquiring Saskatchewan farmland.

In 2014, Saskatchewan’s Farm Land Security Board ruled that a 15 acre parcel of land financed by Skyline violated the province’s land ownership laws.

Saskatchewan’s Court of Queen’s Bench in a March 26 judgment upheld that ruling.

“We have decided to appeal because our view is that we’re onside with the text of the legislation but more importantly we’re onside with the intent of the legislation,” Skyline chief executive officer Mark Reineking said in his first public comments on the case.

Reineking and his business partner Brad Kopp formed Skyline at the behest of Saskatchewan farmers seeking a more flexible form of financing to grow their operations.

The partners had previously worked at Silver Wheaton Corp., a company that financed silver mines.

Skyline developed a new model for financing farm operations by working in conjunction with Farmers Edge, an agronomy company with 1,200 clients who farm more than four million acres of land.

Reineking believes the Skyline model meets the main objectives of the province’s farmland ownership laws, the first of which is to maintain opportunities for Saskatchewan residents to own farmland.

“Our view is that we don’t just meet that intent but we really enhance it in that we’re creating new opportu-

nities for farmers in Saskatchewan to own and operate farmland.”

The second thrust of the legislation is to develop strong rural communities and Skyline does that by ensuring existing landowners have a way to pass the farm on to the next generation without sacrificing the appreciation in land values that occurred during their time owning the property.

MARK REINEKING SKYLINE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

There are two non-traditional aspects to Skyline’s model of financing — a land value hedge and an interest rate hedge. In both cases the farmer owns the land and Skyline has no more rights to that property than any other financial institution.

The land value hedge allows farmers to offset a portion of their land value risk to Skyline, allowing the grower to acquire more land than under a traditional lending arrangement.

“Essentially it’s a contract that says if land values go up over the period of the contract a payment would be made to Skyline and if land values go down over the period of the contract a payment would be made to the farmer,” said Reineking.

A case study on the company’s website details how a farmer with $500,000 in equity who could afford to buy 1,000 acres of farmland and rent 2,000 acres under traditional financing arrangements could finance all 3,000 acres using Sky-

line’s land value hedge.

The interest rate hedge allows farmers to swap their fixed interest rate mortgage for a variable rate mortgage tied to the farm’s revenues.

For example, a farmer with a $5 million mortgage at a four percent fixed rate would be paying $200,000 per year in interest.

Using normal production and commodity price assumptions, that would equate to 14.5 percent of the mythical farm’s average annual revenues of $1.375 million.

Skyline would reimburse the $200,000 interest payment to the farmer in return for 14.5 percent of the farm’s revenues.

If the farm’s revenues dipped to 50 percent of normal it would owe Skyline $100,000, which is $100,000 less than it would have owed under the traditional mortgage.

If the farm’s revenues soared by 50 percent it would owe Skyline $300,000 or $100,000 more than under the traditional mortgage, but Reineking pointed out that it would be in better shape to make that payment.

Reineking said Skyline’s board of directors includes Don Black, former chair of Farm Credit Canada, and Colin Felstad, former chair of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission and former director of the Canola Council of Canada.

He said both men feel the unique financing model would help address the looming problem of transferring farmland to the next generation.

Skyline insists it wouldn’t own the farmland but the Farm Land Security Board sees things differently.

It considers Skyline to be the landholder because it has the potential to benefit from future appreciation of farmland under the land value hedge and to pocket farm revenues

under the interest rate hedge.

Skyline says it will finance its lending operations through either a public share offering or by partnering with Canadian pension plans.

The board says there could be foreign shareholders under the first scenario and foreign beneficiaries under the second, which is why it believes Skyline’s financing model is in violation of the legislation.

Reineking believes the consultation and review of The Saskatchewan Farm Security Act launched by the government in April provides a way for Skyline to convince the public it has no intention of circumventing the province’s farmland ownership rules.

“It has given us a platform and an opportunity to get the story of Skyline out, what we’re trying to do and what our intentions are,” he said.

Many Saskatchewan farmers were upset with the Farm Land Security Board’s decision to allow the Canada Pension Plan to acquire 115,000 acres of farmland for $128 million because they feel such institutional investments drive up land values.

Reineking said that is not the case with Skyline. It gets involved in a purchase after two farmers agree on a price and the buyer seeks financing for the purchase.

“We truly are not a price setter. We are a financial institution,” he said.

The Skyline model could work in other jurisdictions but the company is determined to launch in Saskatchewan first because it was Saskatchewan farmers who got the ball rolling.

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal doesn’t sit during the summer months so the case will most likely be heard in September. sean.pratt@producer.com

FROST HITS CANOLA FIELDS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “Between those two pressures, we’re going to have to reseed those (fields).”

The frost hit a wide geography of Manitoba early May 30.

Elmer Kaskiw, Manitoba Agriculture crop production adviser in Minnedosa, said it dropped to -1 C at midnight and remained below zero for most of the night.

“We got down to -3 C and -4 C was fairly general,” he said. “In the valleys it was in the -5 to -7 C range.”

Kaskiw said the frost was unusual because it was a black frost.

Typically, dew forms when temperatures creep toward zero. But there was little or no moisture around.

“We’ve never had this type of black frost…. Saturday morning by nine or 10 o’clock, the plants were turning black…. The dry, black frost, it really smoked the canola quite badly.”

As of June 1, many canola fields in the region around Minnedosa had turned brown.

“What we’re seeing this morning, the top of the plants are browned right off. There’s not much for a growing point,” Kaskiw said.

Early reports suggest the frost hit areas west of Winnipeg, around Elm Creek and Elie. Fields north and west of Brandon, were also affected.

Kaskiw said it’s difficult to estimate the number of affected acres, but there was frost across a large chunk of western Manitoba.

“Anything nor th of Brandon, between Minnedosa and Neepawa and then right through to the Saskatchewan border and up to Roblin and Swan River,” Kaskiw said.

“Basically the Yellowhead route and Number One (highway) north.”

Angela Brackenreed, Canola

Temperatures in the Minnedosa, Man., area dropped to the -7 C range on May 30, causing heavy black frost damage to canola crops. As this photo shows, the tops of the plants were browned off by morning. Many producers are considering whether to reseed the crop or not. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO Council of Canada agronomist, told Reuters that the damage was worst in Western Manitoba, noting many fields will require reseeding.

While Jenner is waiting to make his decision, many of his neighbours are moving ahead with reseeding.

Farmers around Minnedosa were hauling canola seed or were reseed-

ing last weekend.

Jenner said Manitoba crop insurance pays 25 percent of a producer’s coverage for frost damage, which will help offset some of the reseeding cost.

He said there should be a sufficient amount of canola seed around.

Kaskiw said farmers who seeded canola after May 20 should hold off

before reseeding. Plants that were just poking out of the ground may have survived the black frost.

“Those are fields I’m telling guys, you know what, if we get some of this rain that is forecast… those fields should improve.”

We’ve never had this type of black frost…. Saturday morning by nine or 10 o’clock, the plants were turning black…. The dry, black frost, it really smoked the canola quite badly.

Aster yellows not a risk, thanks to wind Disease can pose a big threat to canola, but risk is low for the Prairies

ASTER YELLOWS DISEASE RISK The map shows the total number of reverse wind trajectories from prairie locations that have originated from the southern U.S. and Mexico between April 1 and May 28, 2015. These winds have the potential to boost the migration of AY leafhoppers, which in turn can transmit the bacterium-like organism called a phytoplasma that causes aster yellows.

Aster yellows disease and diamondback moths are not expected to be big problems this year because of favourable spring wind patterns, says a researcher.

Agriculture Canada and Environment Canada have created a model that measures wind trajectory at 50 locations across Canada.

“To date, we haven’t had a lot of winds that have a lot of potential for either diamondback moths or aster yellows leafhoppers,” said Owen Olfert, a research scientist with Agriculture Canada.

Wind trajectories of concern for both pests are those out of Texas, California and Mexico, which have large horticulture industries.

Diamondback moths like to feed on cold crop vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli.

Aster leafhoppers have a broader range of host crops but tend to reside in the same areas as diamondback moths.

Aster leafhoppers carry the aster yellows phytoplasma, which can lead to significant disease outbreaks. The disease caused considerable damage to Canada’s canola crop in 2012.

Saskatchewan Agriculture estimated 77 percent of the province’s canola fields were infected with the disease that year with an average incidence of eight percent.

Olfert said the leafhoppers were carried into the Prairies on winds from the southern United States.

“We had 10 days of strong southerly winds every day consistently,” he said.

“We haven’t seen that since 2012.”

Wind maps show that few days on the Prairies in April and May had wind coming out of the U.S. Southwest and Mexico.

The Pacific Northwest is a secondary region of concern for the diamondback moth. Olfert said there has been more wind activity from that region but nothing to be concerned about.

Diamondback moths have shown up in a few pheromone traps set by provincial agriculture departments,

but they are in low numbers.

Olfert said that is a good sign because the earlier diamondback moths arrive, the greater the concern because they increase their populations over summer. High populations in May and early June are the biggest cause for concern.

There have been reports of flea beetle problems in this year’s canola crop, but Clint Jurke, agronomy director with the Canola Council of Canada, said it is nothing out of the ordinary. Every year there are pockets where the beetles are plentiful.

This year it is around Edmonton.

“It’s nothing that we would characterize as being unusual or extremely high or anything like that,” he said.

The canola crop is generally in good shape despite a frost scare on the May long weekend.

However some fields around Minnedosa and western Manitoba were hit by frost last weekend and some farmers there need to reseed. sean.pratt@producer.com

Risky business

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer among farmers

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Otto Barley knows exactly how he got skin cancer.

The retired farmer spent hours outside in the sun on an open cab tractor without a hat or sunscreen.

“I never wore a cap in my life, and that was a reason for the cancer,” said Barley of Fairview, Alta. “At that time, there was no warning about skin cancer.”

Barley rarely goes outside now without a hat. If he ventures outside in the sun, he tries to find a shady spot.

“Now I just try to stay out of the sun.”

Barley said his short hair and fair skin were also contributing factors.

He discovered the cancer when he went to a doctor about a wound on his hand that wouldn’t heal. It turned out to be cancerous. Since then, more than 30 cancerous pieces have been cut out of his hands and neck.

“I burned easily,” said Barley, who always wore pants and long sleeved shirts but didn’t believe exposure to his hands and head could cause skin cancer.

Barley now tries to warn other farmers about the need for sunscreen and hats when outside, but he is not sure if anyone listens to his warnings.

“They figure it won’t happen to them,” he said.

Barley is not the only farmer who has spent hours in the sun without hat or sunscreen.

A recent U.S. study showed less than one-quarter of farmers used sunscreen always or frequently when in the sun more than 15 minutes.

The data was collected from 476 people, including 194 farmers, during the 2011 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days.

The study was intended to assess skin cancer knowledge, sun protection and barriers, health care information sources and the impact of skin cancer screening among farmers and non-farmers in the U.S. Midwest.

The Canadian Cancer Society says most skin cancers are caused by exposure to the sun over a long period of time. People who work outside, such as farmers, have a higher risk of developing skin cancer because they are exposed to ultra violet rays.

Farmers in the study identified the benefits of sun protection, but few said they adopted good sun protection habits despite the increased skin cancer risk associated with being outdoors.

Fairview, Alta., farmer Otto Barley had cancerous spots removed from his left ear.

Doctors weren’t able to get it all with surgery, so he had to have radiation treatment and is now deaf on that side. Barley also has pre-cancerous lesions on the backs of both hands. If he doesn’t have them removed, they will turn into cancer. | CHRIS EAKIN /FAIRVIEW POST PHOTOS

The most common barriers to sun protection included discomfort wearing long pants and shirts, forgetting to use sunscreen and the inconvenience of wearing widebrimmed hats.

Prairie farmers recently talked about their sun protection habits when asked about them on Twitter: I don’t like hats or long sleeves #hatsdontfit. (I) go without but try to be in a cab during heat of day.

TRAVIS MILLERTON WAINWRIGHT, ALTA.

Ken Coles of Lethbridge posted a picture of his burned head along with the note: Tried tanning my white bald head today so I wouldn’t look stupid without a hat. #ouchshinyredhead.

Janine Paly, a Ducks Unlimited agronomist in Edmonton said she tries to apply sunscreen and wear a hat when she can. Her vigilance began when her grandmother, a farm wife all her life, was diagnosed with skin cancer.

Rather prevent than deal with the issue later in life.

Adrienne Ivey of Ituna, Sask., said a ball cap, long pants and long sleeved shirt, usually rolled up, are the only protection she uses.

Should be more but unlikely.

Stuart Sommerville said he tries to use sunscreen but admits to not always remembering.

But collared shirts and long sleeves on hot sunny days — couldn’t do without.

Frank Maddock of Entwistle, Alta., said he finds sunscreen sticky and the scents annoying.

The Wisconsin report recommended tailoring health-care information specifically to farmers along with reminders to wear a hat and long shirts and reapply sunscreen.

Laura Nelson with the Farm Safety Centre in Raymond, Alta., said her organization doesn’t have specific programs designed to raise awareness of sun protection for farmers.

Instead, most of its farm safety

SCARY STATISTICS It was estimated that in 2014: • 76,100 Canadians would be diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer.

• 440 Canadians would die from non-melanoma skin cancer.

• 42,700 men would be diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer.

• 33,400 women would be diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer.

information is aimed at children.

“Sun safety hasn’t floated to the topics we discussed,” she said.

“It comes down to time and what is most likely to happen on the farm. To be blunt, it’s the machinery and water that would kill them.”

Nelson said the centre has licensed an Australian farm safety program with a significant sun safety prevention component that will maybe resonate with Canadian farmers. mary.macarthur@producer.com

GRAIN GROUPS PLEASED » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE “Throughout the year, the terminals fluctuate from being between 30 and 70 percent full and are out of cars between 20 and 30 percent of the time,” he said.

“The issue isn’t the capacity on the West Coast, it is how to get the grain to utilize that capacity. That’s where we need to focus our efforts.”

Mark Hallman, spokesperson for CN Rail, pointed the finger in the other direction.

“CN would welcome a new grain terminal being built at Port Metro Vancouver,” he said in an e-mail.

“The company also believes there are substantial efficiency gains that waterfront grain terminals have yet to fully exploit to increase capacity and throughput, such as operating 24/7 as railways do.”

Hallman said that as of week 39 western port unloads were 16 percent higher than the same period last year and that terminals were operating at 80 percent of their working capacity.

Jeremy Berry, spokesperson for CP Rail, had a similar response.

“Any improvements at the Port of Vancouver that properly address the throughput capability, especially during peak periods, of Canada’s export grain supply chain would go a long way in reducing bottlenecks across the supply chain,” he said in an e-mail.

“CP has stressed and will continue to stress that the Canadian grain supply chain must operate on a 24/7 basis to support balanced pipelines, reduce congestion and drive velocity.”

Mark Hemmes, president of Quorum Corporation, welcomed news of a potential new grain terminal.

“It’s nice to talk about something that is a little more positive than all of the negative stuff that has been going on,” said Canada’s grain monitor.

He was blindsided by the news and has more questions than answers, including who will build the terminal, where they will source their grain, where it will be located at the port and what kind of infrastructure it will have.

“I’ve got so many questions that I couldn’t even form an opinion,” said Hemmes.

Stanford hopes the facility will be able to accommodate post-Panamax ships capable of carrying 75,000 tonnes of grain through the Panama Canal’s third lane of wider locks, which is set to open in 2016.

He believes a west coast terminal would make the CWB a major competitor in Canada’s grain industry because it would no longer be reliant on leasing terminal space from competitors.

Stanford has heard rumours the CWB may be making upgrades to its Thunder Bay terminal as well.

He thinks that makes sense given that SALIC, a Saudi Arabian government agency, is now one of the owners of the company and is likely looking to import feed grains into Saudi Arabia for its livestock business.

Saudi Arabia has announced it is shutting down its wheat production and will become totally reliant on imports starting in 2016.

The kingdom’s wheat imports have already been on a steep incline. Saudi Arabia imported 3.5 million tonnes of the crop in 2014, up from 75,000 tonnes in 2007 when it was produced 2.56 million tonnes of its own irrigated wheat. sean.pratt@producer.com

WHERE’S THE PROTEIN?

Weather plays havoc on wheat protein The rain damaged red winter wheat crop in the U.S. could lead to strong protein premiums

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A global shortage of high protein wheat will likely persist in 2015-16 due to harvest rains in the U.S. hard red winter wheat region.

“The conditions that we’ve had right now do not seem conducive to a high protein crop,” said Justin Gilpin, chief executive officer of the Kansas Wheat Commission.

“That’s certainly what the market is going to be watching.”

All eyes will be on protein premiums and the spreads between Kansas and Minneapolis wheat as the market sorts out how much quality damage was caused by excessive and untimely May rains.

Gilpin said the precipitation initially helped the Kansas wheat crop but it has reached the point where it is causing more harm than good to a crop that is about two weeks away from harvest.

There are large white patches in fields where plants have died due to flooding. Kansas City received 260 millimetres of rain in May, which is the sixth wettest May on record.

“Just this past weekend you’re really starting to see the effect of what too much water can do to wheat that is kind of getting to the ripened state,” he said.

“You’re starting to see it kind of go backwards.”

But the real damage has been to winter wheat crops in Oklahoma and north Texas. Those crops were ready for the combine when so much rain fell that it caused extensive flooding throughout the two states.

Andy Karst, meteorologist with World Weather Inc., said Oklahoma City received 495 millimetres of rain in May, shattering the previous May

record by 127 millimetres.

“It’s weird how that works. They certainly could have used some rain a while back and now it comes when they really don’t want it,” he said.

Bruce Burnett, CWB’s weather and crops specialist, said there is no doubt the May rains have reduced protein levels on what was shaping up to be a high protein U.S. winter wheat crop due to early-season drought conditions.

“It’s going to impact the quality obviously,” said Burnett.

“You’ve already probably lowered the protein and test weights of the wheat that is ripe and ready to be harvested.”

Burnett said the poor quality U.S. red winter wheat crop will be bearish for futures prices because they will drop to the lowest possible quality for delivery but it should result in strong basis levels for quality wheat.

Gilpin said if the rain persists in Kansas the crop could end up in the same poor condition as the crops in Oklahoma and Texas. The forecast was for mostly dry weather in Oklahoma and Texas this week.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 272 million bushels of Kansas wheat. The Kansas crop tour estimate was 286 million bu. Both estimates are below average due to winterkill, early season drought and stripe rust disease.

Gilpin thinks the final number could be higher than the crop tour estimates because the May rains initially added some bushels but if the rain keeps falling his production estimate will shrink.

The USDA is forecasting 1.47 billion bu. of total winter wheat production, which would be slightly below the previous five-year average of 1.5 billion bu. That estimate was made on

CATTLE OUTLOOK

JBS prepares for herd expansion, fewer heifers Processor expects ranchers to hang on to breeding cows and heifers

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Meat processor JBS expects to scramble in the next couple years to keep its Canadian slaughter numbers stable.

“We’re in an expansion phase (with the cow herd.) For my side of the business, the processing side, it’s going to mean less (slaughter) cattle,” JBS procurement chief Stirling Fox told the Livestock Markets Association of Canada annual meeting May 30.

“We’re going to be short some cattle for the next two to three years, no question. If more heifers stay home, we’re going to feel the squeeze at the packing level.”

That bodes well for the following years, Fox said, since it means a bigger herd down the road. Ranchers are hanging onto cows and retaining heifers.

However, market analyst Jerry Klassen believes the Canadian cow herd faces expansion challenges and those might make Fox’s hopes hard to achieve.

“In Canada I think it’s very difficult to expand the herd significantly,” said Klassen in a market outlook following Fox’s presentation. “I don’t think we’ll see significant expansion.”

Klassen said Canadian bred cow prices are high, putting them out of the reach for ranchers hoping to start a herd. The rancher population is aging and fewer are willing to retain animals for future production.

“Heifer retention will only come from producers that are still looking at being in the business for the next 10 years,” said Klassen.

At the same time the U.S. cow herd is expanding through heifer retention and lower cow slaughter. That means more calves this year and next.

STIRLING FOX JBS PROCUREMENT CHIEF

“This will continue in 2016. Each quarter we will have larger beef production,” said Klassen.

“The next seven quarters we will see a year over year increase.”

Fox said he believes Canadian ranchers are also retaining heifers and shipping fewer cows, so he expects to see calf numbers increase over the next two years.

He doesn’t like statistics that show

about 500,000 Canadian slaughter cattle went to the U.S. last year, but if those cattle stay home the outlook is more optimistic.

“There’s still half a million cattle leaving the country that we can utilize to run through our operations, us and Cargill,” said Fox about the JBS plant in Brooks, Alta., and Cargill in High River, Alta.

Since late 2014 he has focused on keeping slaughter animals in Canada, and “we’ve certainly slowed the flow.”

Most slaughter cattle recently shipped to the U.S. were previously contracted and were not fresh sales, he said. ed.white@producer.com

CANADIAN SLAUGHTER COW SUPPLIES EXPECTED TO TIGHTEN Analysts expect Canadian beef cattle producers will start to retain cows and heifers to breed and rebuild their herds. That means packers will have fewer cattle to slaughter in the short term.

WEATHER CHALLENGING

Canola yield potential declining with each dry day MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

C

anola futures broke through resistance June 1, lifted by weekend frost in Manitoba that appears to have damaged canola enough to force reseeding.

The next resistance point will be at about $500 a tonne, where it peaked last spring before the steep decline through summer to harvest.

Can it climb that high? Hard to say, but if it stays dry there is a good chance.

In addition to the support from the

frost damage, canola also sailed on a favourable wind from soy oil, which rallied May 29 and June 1 on news about biodiesel demand.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on May 29 unveiled much delayed biofuel targets.

The EPA took a middle ground approach to the targets, pleasing neither the ethanol nor oil industries.

However, the biodiesel numbers, which directly affect soy oil demand, were more warmly received.

The proposed goals for biodiesel would grow to 1.9 billion U.S. gallons by 2017 from 1.63 billion gallons in 2014.

The proposal is an improvement over the EPA’s original proposal in 2013 to keep the biodiesel standard flat at 1.28 billion gallons through 2015.

It is not clear how long this reaction to government policy will continue to support soy oil, however, more

sustained price support for canola should come from that fact that it’s looking like Canadian yields might be down this year.

Frosts struck most newly seeded crops in the second half of May. The initial reports we had about frosts on the western side of the Prairies were that damage was not that bad. Talk from Manitoba as of June 1 is of more severe damage.

But suffice to say conditions have been much less than ideal and some fields required reseeding. That means they could flower at the end of June when it is hotter, reducing yield potential. They are also at greater risk if there is an early fall frost.

There also seemed to be more talk of flea beetle damage.

And then there is the biggest worry, the lack of rain.

A huge part of the central and northern grain belt in Alberta and Saskatchewan has had almost no

rain this spring.

There was spotty rainfall the night of May 31 and forecasts called for rain in Manitoba and Alberta south of the TransCanada Highway on June 2, but the moisture was expected to miss southern Saskatchewan and all central and northern grain belt areas.

The forecast for the rest of the week was dry.

Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc. who more often than not seems to get the long range forecasts correct, says the El Nino that has formed in the Pacific and other factors are expected to cause a dry summer over much of the Prairies.

Agriculture Canada is already forecasting very tight 2015-16 carryout stocks — only 500,000 tonnes — and that is with a yield forecast similar to last year.

And with Cargill’s new crush plant at Camrose, Alta., and Bunge’s Fort Saskatchewan, Alta., expansion

coming on stream, domestic demand will rise.

Bottom line: As yield potential falls, it would seem that prices will have to rise to ration demand.

But on the other hand, offshore buyers might seek substitutes if canola prices get too far ahead of soybeans.

And there seems little likelihood of soybeans rallying.

South America is still selling its bumper soybean crop and American farmer are moving into the homestretch of seeding a record area to soy.

Weather in the U.S. Midwest is mostly good.

So soybeans could be the anchor preventing canola’s efforts to take flight. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

WHEAT CLASSES

U.S. uses COOL ruling to push for grading equality

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Two U.S. wheat industry groups are using Canada’s win on country of origin labeling to renew calls for Canada to remove restrictions on the ability of American growers to sell grain north of the border.

The U.S. Wheat Associates and the National Association of Wheat Growers issued a letter last week to federal trade minister Ed Fast and agriculture minister Gerry Ritz, demanding that U.S. growers be given equal opportunity to sell their wheat in Canada at fair market value.

“It is readily apparent to us that Canada’s treatment of imported wheat is less favourable than that of domestic wheat through (Canada’s) grading system,” said the May 20 letter.

The U.S. wheat industry letter comes at a sensitive time for agricultural exporters on both sides of the border.

On May 18, the World Trade Organization ruled that U.S. country-oforigin labelling on meat products discriminates against the Canadian livestock and meat sectors.

The letter from the U.S. wheat groups specifically references the COOL dispute, suggesting that Canada’s “discriminatory treatment of foreign grain” is similar to America’s trade distorting meat labelling laws.

“Our concerns about the unfair regulatory environment that U.S. wheat faces in Canada closely parallel the arguments Canada successfully made in its WTO complaint against U.S. country-of-origin labelling (COOL) requirements,” the letter said.

Under the Canada Grains Act, wheat varieties registered for commercial production in Canada but grown in the United States do not qualify for an official grade and class designation in Canada.

By default, U.S. grown wheat marketed in Canada is sold as low value feed unless Canadian grain handlers negotiate a higher price.

B y c o n t ra s t, Ca n a d i a n g ra i n shipped south and delivered into the U.S. grain handling system is eligible for an official U.S. grade designation.

Wheat groups on both sides of the border have acknowledged the inequity, but Canadian efforts to correct it have been slow.

The letter from USW and NAWG appears to be a not-so-subtle reminder that discriminatory provisions within the Canada Grains Act need to be addressed quickly.

The American letter also said Canada’s variety registration system places “undue burdens on registering U.S. grown varieties” by including irrelevant agronomic factors that are not specified by end-users and add no value to a transaction.

Earlier this year, the government introduced Bill C-48 to remove restrictions on the sale of U.S. wheat in Canada.

Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, said his organization hopes Bill C-48 will pass this summer, but time is running short as the fall election looms.

Ritz emphasized the importance of Bill C-48 in an email and encouraged opposition parties to “put politics aside” and move it expeditiously through Parliament. brian.cross@producer.com

Excessive rain then drought may force India to import wheat One production forecast is for 80 million tonnes, down from 95.9 last year

crops specialist.

Weather forecasters are in agreement that El Nino has arrived and that likely means a second consecutive year of disappointing monsoon rains for the world’s second largest wheat producing nation.

“To have (India) have a short crop two years in a row, that’s when you could probably see some impact on the global market,” said Burnett.

“Certainly that’s an interesting scenario to contemplate.”

The India Meteorological Department is forecasting below-average monsoon rains. If that happens there could be dire consequences for one of the world’s largest grain producers, according to AccuWeather.

“While there will be some rainfall in the region the pattern could evolve into significant drought and negatively impact agriculture from central India to much of Pakistan,” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Jason Nicholls said in a news release.

India’s 2015-16 wheat crop, now being harvested is a disappointment.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 90 million tonnes of production, down from the record 95.9 million tonnes harvested last year.

Others expect a far worse outcome.

Pravin Dongre, chair of the India Pulses and Grains Association, is quoted in a Bloomberg article forecasting 80 million tonnes, the smallest wheat crop since 2008.

Burnett thinks it will be somewhere in between. It will also be a poor quality crop due to excessive March rains.

“The rains came at the wrong time and caused quite a bit of harvest damage in terms of quality,” he said.

Burnett said the upshot is that India, which had become a wheat exporter the last couple of years, will

likely import one million tonnes of good quality milling wheat from Australia and possibly Canada.

That is not enough to bolster wheat prices considering the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 203 million tonnes of world carryout.

But if El Nino results in poor wheat crops in India and Australia next year that would be bullish for prices largely because India will have consumed much of its huge government owned stockpiles of wheat by then.

“We’re going to cut into those stocks pretty significantly this year,” said Burnett.

Markets will know by mid-September how much rain fell in India during the monsoon season. The monsoon sets up the winter growing season, when the wheat crop is sown.

Russia’s wheat yields were also threatened but that situation appears to have been resolved.

There were concerns the crop was wilting in the fields due to a May heat wave but weekend rains provided relief to crops in southern Russia, which is the key production area for Black Sea exports.

Russia’s crop got off to a dismal start due to dry conditions but timely rains later in the growing season helped restore production prospects, which appear to be intact thanks to the weekend rains.

The USDA is forecasting 53.5 million tonnes of Russian wheat production, which would be higher than the previous five-year average of 49.3 million tonnes.

Burnett agreed that Russian growers are likely about to harvest an above-average crop, which means there should be strong export potential out of that region. sean.pratt@producer.com

HOG MARKET OUTLOOK

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT

Profusion of pigs pose problem

HOGS STEADY

U.S. production is more than expected but China might import more pork

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

China is drastically reducing its sow herd, and the United States has drastically increased its hog production in recent months.

Those two factors will likely have a big impact on Canadian hog prices, said Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak.

Speaking May 28 at a hog producer meeting in Lethbridge, Novak acknowledged recent healthy prices that followed the drop in the market earlier this year.

However, he cautioned producers against relying on current profits in light of coming challenges.

“We had a whole pile of pigs show up in the United States, and the reasons for that are multiple,” said Novak.

“One of them is that the big American producers who had huge devastating losses from PED (porcine epidemic diarrhea virus) overbred like crazy because they expected to have big losses again this winter.

“The really big losses didn’t happen, and so they had way more pigs

FRANK NOVAK ALBERTA PORK CHAIR

than they expected to. That’s part of the increase of supply that we saw that helped push our market down here in the first quarter of 2015.”

However, greater supply in the U.S. isn’t a short-term situation, said Novak. American producers are building new barns, and the resulting additional pork supply will pressure Canadian prices going into next year. But China might change that forecast.

In China, disease pressure and the high feed costs have forced a reduction in the country’s 50 million sow industry. “China is liquidating sows at a furious pace,” said Novak.

“In fact, depending on whose numbers you believe, there could be up to 7.5 million sows that have already been killed.”

The latest Chinese sow inventory

has the breeding herd at 40.4 million.

“We’re hoping that that might mean that they need to buy from North America, which will help pick up some of this extra supply that we’ve managed to produce on our own here in North America, especially in the United States.”

However, China’s plans are known only to China and the country has other sources of pork if it chooses to buy. It often has its own controlled food stocks, which it can draw upon while waiting for pricing opportunities.

“They don’t have to buy product.

They could just let people go hungrier. It’s not like they haven’t done that before,” said Novak.

“So we don’t know how much they will buy. We don’t know how much they can afford to buy, and they can buy from people besides us.”

China tends to buy lower-end pork products but Chinese consumers may be persuaded to seek higher-value product as incomes rise there.

However, Novak said it takes time to build that market. barb.glen@producer.com

U.S. hog prices were mostly steady.

Volumes are well up over last year at this time but carcass weights are down more than six pounds from last year.

Supermarkets are preparing to focus on pork and chicken after the end of U.S. National Beef Month in May and for Father’s Day later in June.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$59-$60 per hundredweight May 29, steady with $59.50 May 22.

U.S. hogs averaged $78.14 on a carcass basis May 29, up from $77.18 May 22. The U.S. pork cutout rose to $86.80 per cwt. May 29, up from $85.58 May 22.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to May 30 was 1.856 million, down from 2.142 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 1.743 million last year at the same time.

The weaker loonie helped lift the Maple Leaf Signature 3 price to C$186.14 per 100 kilograms, up about $9 from the week before.

rates, quality and export costs.

Grade A heifers sold up to C$4.85.

U.S. buyers were offering US$3.90.

Animals outside desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

LIGHT LAMBS WEAKEN Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 756 sheep and 42 goats sold May 25.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $230-$310 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $230-$290, 70 to 85 lb. were $230$325, 86 to 105 lb. were $202.50-$240 and 106 lb. and heavier were $190$217. Wool rams were $70-$168 per cwt. Cull ewes were $60-$157.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $210-$270 per cwt., 55 to 69 lb. were $220-$270, 70 to 85 lb. were $225$280, 86 to 105 lb. were $190-$230 and 106 lb. and heavier were $190$205.

Hair rams were $75-$120 per cwt.

Cull ewes were $130-$150 and ewe/ lamb family were $250-$560 per unit.

Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $230-$270. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $235-$275. Those heavier than 70 lb. were $235-$265 per cwt. Nannies were $95-$175 per cwt. Billies were $125-$160.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 1,313 sheep and lambs and 48 goats traded May 25.

All new crop lambs sold barely steady to slightly lower. Heavy lambs, sheep and goats sold steady.

CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE STRONGER The Canfax steer average last week was $202.52 per hundredweight, up $1.40 while heifers were $200.95, topping the American market for the seventh week.

Most yearlings have been marketed and more calves are in the mix, increasing the AA grading.

Canadian steer carcass weights have fallen 38 pounds from their March highs.

A weaker Canadian dollar and stronger live cattle futures helped lift Canadian bids. Both Alberta packers were active but sales were light.

Premiums were noted on cattle that will be ready for slaughter in first half of June.

Still, a majority of the cattle that traded were scheduled for delivery during the second half of June.

Many producers were negotiating longer lift times as cattle could easily stand another month on feed.

Some producers offered cattle in July but packers seem reluctant to price cattle out that far.

Reflecting the strong basis, weekly exports totaled 2,967, the smallest volume this year.

Canadian cash-to-futures basis levels usually weaken into June.

Reuters reported cash bids in Kansas held at US$156 to $158 per cwt. against up to $164 asking prices there and elsewhere in the U.S. Plains. The previous week, cattle moved at mostly $159 to $161.

ter for the short week ending May 23 was surprisingly 28 percent larger at 4,353 head. Non-fed slaughter this year is down eight percent at 120,979 head.

Weekly exports to May 16 eased modestly to 3,945 head.

Dry pastures flushed a few more cow-calf pairs to market, but the calves are generally too young to wean.

FEEDERS RISE Average steer prices rose more than $3.50 and heifers were almost $5 higher. There was generally good interest but quality and lot size took precedence.

Alberta auction volume jumped 50 percent over the week before to almost 20,000 head, reflecting the

BEEF TRADE U.S. beef prices fell after the Memorial Day weekend with Choice at US $259.25, down $2.97 and Select at $246.74, down $2.58.

In the first half of 2015, boxed beef prices have followed normal trends with a low in mid- February and a peak in mid-May. Buyers are well aware of the tight supply and pork prices are lower, so a more seasonal pricing pattern is expected this summer compared to

the dramatic increase in 2014.

Canadian boxed beef prices for the week ending May 22 were unavailable.

CRAIG’S VIEW

WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION STUDY

Agency needs to take scientific approach in making evaluations

F

armers could have been forgiven if they wondered recently, “what next?” after hearing that a United Nations panel had declared glyphosate “probably carcinogenic.”

Well, now they know.

The same group that made the controversial designation for the popular herbicide earlier this spring now plans to evaluate the likelihood that red and processed meat are carcinogenic.

The discussion is scheduled to happen at an Oct. 6-13 meeting in Lyon, France, organized by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Red and processed meat are among the 78 products and activities that an IARC advisory committee recommended for further study last year.

The comprehensive list includes the usual suspects, such as breast implants, lead and tobacco smoking, as well as common household items such as salt and coffee. Human activities include shift work, welding and poor oral health.

The inclusion of genetically modified organisms is particularly noteworthy and should be ringing alarm bells for farmers.

The committee also categorized the topics by level of importance. Interestingly enough, red and processed meat were given a high priority, while glyphosate was considered to be of only medium concern and GMOs a low priority.

This is by no means the first time that red and processed meat have gone under the cancer microscope.

For example, an international workshop organized by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Oslo in November 2013 talked about how to reach a consensus on the healthfulness of red and processed meat.

The workshop concluded that the interactions between meat and human health are complex and recommended further study. However, it also found that there are reasons to keep red meat in the diet.

It’s not too much to ask that the upcoming WHO discussion keep the same level of balance.

There is some reason for hope.

The WHO report summarizing the red and processed meat topic conceded that cooking methods may have more to do with cancer risk than the meat itself.

“Providing information on potential factors such as cooking methods that may affect cancer risk may be more useful to the public than an evaluation of only red meat or processed meats,” it said.

It’s unclear how much input the meat industry will have in the discussion, but it’s important that this process be on everyone’s radar.

In an ideal world, much confusion could be avoided if the scientists who write these reports would better explain what their recommendations mean. For instance, how does “possibly carcinogenic” differ from “probably carcinogenic?”

However, what is really required is paying better attention to how these recommendations are made in the first place.

The glyphosate study was widely criticized in scientific circles because it used the hazardbased (laboratory) approach to evaluate the danger rather than the risk-based (real world) method.

Hazard-based science is perfectly legitimate, but it can be confusing to simply focus on the hazardous nature of a product in lab tests instead of looking at how plausible the risks are if the product is used properly in the real world.

Let’s hope the committee studying the potential cancer risk of red and processed meats will use a more widely accepted scientific method that won’t set off alarm bells among so many international experts, as was the case with glyphosate.

LAND INVESTMENT

Our view is that we don’t just meet that intent (of Saskatchewan’s farmland ownership legislation) but we really enhance it in that we’re creating new opportunities for farmers in Saskatchewan to own and operate farmland.

AGRICULTURE PUBLIC RELATIONS

College grads challenged to find community support for ag CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

F

olks involved in Canadian agriculture will likely tell you that one of the biggest challenges facing the industry today is being able to generate public and political support for the sector.

The growing divide between the farm and the consumer, combined with the internet, bloggers and myths about where food comes from, has made for a competitive information environment that can quickly influence Canadian policy debates at all levels of government.

That message recently hit home for at least one agriculture college in Ontario.

The biggest battle facing Canadian

agriculture, a fresh crop of young Kemptville agriculture grads were told recently, is a fight for “political understanding and support.”

“This is the competition agriculture faces,” said Howard Mains, a former Kemptville grad who works for Tactix government relations and public affairs in Ottawa. Mains is a mainstay in Ottawa agriculture circles.

“In Ontario, rural communities and agriculture have lost their political base to the competition of wellorganized, well-funded urban interests,” he said.

The ongoing battle over the use of neonicotinoid pesticides is a prime example, Mains told the graduates.

The Ontario government wants to reduce the use of the seed treatment by 80 percent by 2017, a move that has infuriated farmers and pesticide manufacturers who insist the chemicals are integral to their operations and modern agriculture.

Some 40 farmers recently gathered outside Ontario agriculture minister Jeff Leal’s office in Peterborough to protest the new regulations, which

are still in draft form. The protests were organized by Grain Farmers of O n t a r i o, a g ro u p v e h e m e n t l y opposed to the province’s neonicotinoid plan.

However, the general public and environmentalists blame neonics for killing bees and other pollinators.

They’ve inundated premier Kathleen Wynne and her cabinet with petitions calling for the pesticides to be banned.

Those 50,000 Ontarians, who are also voters, signed petitions, Mains said, and outshouted Ontario’s farmers. They won the political debate.

“Those of us in farm and industry groups called on the government to base its decision on the weight o f s c i e nt i f i c e v i d e n c e but our voices were lost to the clash of cymbals by a politically valuable constituency,” Mains said in his May 22 speech.

“Ontario agriculture and rural communities will need to rethink how they will deal with the competing demands for political understanding and support.”

Mains said agriculture’s young people must “become the next generation of leaders with the objective of gaining broader community support and engagement.”

It’s an issue the young Kemptville grads already know well. The nearly 100-year-old agriculture college was slated to be shut down in 2015 after the University of Guelph said it would no longer front the funds to keep it open.

The college offers training in agriculture, equine care, food science, horticulture, heavy equipment, industrial welding and fabrication and is an essential part of eastern Ontario’s farming community.

The province eventually stepped in with $2 million to keep the school open for a year after more than 400 people, many of them current and future students, appeared at public meetings in Kemptville in 2014 to protest the school’s closure.

More than a few at the time said the college’s location was essential to ensuring their children could get an education, given many of the stu-

dents returned to the farm on weekends to help keep their family’s operations going.

The college had also become a dependable source of new employees for construction and heavy machinery shops and companies throughout eastern Ontario.

The funding was designed to keep things operational while the province and community leaders look for a new school partner.

That future appears to be embraced as the Kemptville Centre for Rural Advancement, a multi-faceted plan developed by a task force initiated by the community of Kemptville.

Mains said there was no doubt in his mind that the college would remain “well established and the rich tradition of education will continue on this college.”

“I am confident we will gather here again in 2017 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kemptville Agriculture School,” he said.

Responsible glyphosate use a priority

Farmer influence rare and fading

BY TED MENZIES

T

he editorial that appeared in May 7 edition of The Western Producer made an important point about the value of glyphosate.

This has been an indispensable weed control tool for farmers over the last several decades.

The Canadian agricultural industry is one of the most promising in the world because of its embrace of innovation and its ability to adapt and change.

Farmers are continually integrating the latest technologies into their operations, whether it be new seed varieties, new equipment or new crop protection products.

Part of the reason for the industry’s success is its commitment to continuous improvement. Farmers have a long history of responsible use of pesticides and use these tools judiciously to address specific challenges. This is part of an integrated pest management strategy, which the vast majority of Canadian farmers have whole-heartedly adopted.

As responsible stewards of the land and the technology, farmers are also encouraged to rotate their crop protection products to help with resistance management and prevent the onset of herbicide resistant weeds.

Industry and farmers share in this ongoing commitment to the responsible use of pesticides and work diligently to improve communications and collaboration.

Herbicide resistance is a real issue that demands ongoing dialogue.

The crop protection industry has played a leadership role in voluntarily labelling modes of action on its products to help farmers properly rotate chemistries.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

H

Studies show glyphosate is safe when used according to directions. | The problem with the editorial was that it included a reference to the recent classification of glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen” by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.

This classification of glyphosate does not constitute a thorough risk assessment nor is it the result of any new information. It is a simplistic categorization exercise that puts glyphosate into a category with coffee, alcohol, a career as a hairdresser and being a shift worker.

There is an important distinction to be made between hazard and risk.

Understandably, this distinction is not often well understood by the general public and this is why it’s incumbent on media, especially agricultural media, to put it into context.

Health Canada, which is responsible for assessing all pesticides for use in Canada, recently stated in its pro-

FILE PHOTO

posed re-evaluation document on glyphosate that “products containing glyphosate acid are unlikely to affect your health when used according to label directions.”

Health Canada directly addressed WHO’s findings: “It is important to note that a hazard classification is not a health risk assessment. The level of human exposure, which determines the actual risk, was not taken into account by WHO. Pesticides are registered for use in Canada only if the level of exposure to Canadians does not cause any harmful effects, including cancer.”

Hundreds of pesticide regulatory scientists from around the world have reviewed the data on glyphosate and concluded it is safe.

In fact, even within the WHO a separate group of experts concluded that glyphosate does not pose a cancer risk if used as directed.

The responsible use of glyphosate

and developing strategies to mitigate the emergence of resistance should be a top priority for agriculture, but this should remain distinct from any conversation around the safety of this tool.

Canada’s science-based regulatory system makes it clear that glyphosate can be safely used and does not pose unnecessary health risks when used according to label directions.

It’s important that this point be well understood by both farmers and consumers. Otherwise, we run the risk that legitimate resistance-management initiatives will be overshadowed by erroneous assumptions about health and safety.

DETAILS AND MORE DETAILS

Many variables weighed in spraying decisions HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

o spray today or not to spray today: that is but one of many questions. I won’t name the tank mix used, but see if you can relate to these considerations for weed control in my flax crop.

Crop staging is an issue for the broadleaf herbicide. The best crop tolerance is between two and four inches of height, but best control is when weeds are less than two inches in height or diameter. Since crop and weed growth are often variable, the best timing is a judgment call.

To complicate the issue further, this particular broadleaf product on this particular crop (flax) shouldn’t be

applied when the daytime high temperature exceeds 27 C two days before or after application. Otherwise, there’s increased risk of crop injury.

But the broadleaf herbicide is being mixed with a grassy weed killer and that product, according to the chemical rep, should only be applied when the overnight low temperature is 7 C or higher. Otherwise, wild oat control could be compromised.

This temperature advice isn’t on the product label or in the Crop Protection Guide, but the herbicide rep should know what he’s talking about.

Good thing I ran into him.

So now there’s crop staging, weed staging, a maximum temperature and a minimum temperature. Oh, and if you read the product labels, reduced weed control and increased crop injury could result if there’s drought stress.

Let’s see. Virtually no rain in the past six weeks. Yup, that would probably qualify as drought stress, but the crop will be stressed a whole lot more

if those weeds aren’t killed.

Ready to spray. It’s a few days since the last overnight frost. Expected high temperatures are just below 27 C. The flax is nearing the best stage for tolerance. Some is still a bit smaller than two inches, but everything is stunted in dry conditions.

The wild oats are running rampant in some parts of the field, stealing moisture that’s in critically short supply so there’s some urgency to get them stopped.

Better get up early to beat the wind.

Whoops. The Crop Protection Guide says spraying during early morning may increase the risk of flax injury.

Wonder what their definition of “early morning” is.

Got the mixing order figured out.

Both products are emulsifiable concentrates, so it shouldn’t matter which one goes in the tank first, but the adjuvant has to go in the tank last.

The rep and the retailer both note there’s some antagonism between the two products so rather than 40

acres per jug of the wild oat killer, the rate should be increased to 30 acres per jug. Didn’t see that on the label or in the book.

The water volume recommended for the broadleaf product is 20 to 40 litres per acre. The wild oat chemical is a minimum of 40, so 40 it is.

I hope I haven’t sprayed too early. I hope the day doesn’t get too hot. Just after mid-morning, it’s too windy and I stop spraying. Clouds pass by and 10 raindrops fall. Don’t have to worry about rainfall reducing efficacy.

Resume spraying early evening. As I leave the field, I notice the firstsprayed flax is tilted over and not looking very happy. Hope it recovers.

Need to finish the flax and move on to other crops, other products with different restrictions and worries. I hope it rains or none of this will matter.

ow much freedom is there without real competition?

A farmer might ask himself that more often these days.

It wasn’t so long ago that one of the railways was publicly owned, the largest grain companies in Western Canada were farmer-owned coops and nearly all export wheat and malting barley were marketed by a state agency that was farmer directed.

While no system is perfect, there was some accountability, or the possibility that it could be had, should producers choose to exercise their rights to it.

Farmers potentially had their voices heard and could leverage their influence through investment in infrastructure, provide operational direction on boards and lobby government with the power of a collective voice. Governments and corporations could be challenged.

Most of that has been lost in the past 15 years.

A few large farm input co-ops still exist. Federated Co-operatives and United Farmers are input suppliers.

Farmers of North America has shown an interest in collective action.

The Quebec based La Coop Fédérée is the only large co-op food processor and buyer, known better in Western Canada by its meat packing division, Olymel.

Five farmer-owned inland grain terminals remain and there are several smaller co-ops that clean seed and do crop processing.

With the loss of farmers’ voices and an active business lobby to government, it seems that market freedom might not be as liberating as one might imagine.

At least under the CWB single desk and when the old prairie pools existed, there were farmers on those boards who regularly visited the halls of power and were consulted by agriculture ministers.

That influence, at least from Western Canada, is now lost. Producers have a choice of few grain companies and meat packers and while they are generally fine companies, the interests of those organizations are not always the same as those of farmers.

Buyers and sellers of farm products can best be described as reluctant partners, both needing to exact their profits from one another.

While the pools did this as well, those profits paid for influence with the public and government.

Active interest and participation in the production check-off organizations are all that is left. We need to keep that in mind.

Leader Mitch McConnell, and other leaders in the U.S. House and Senate urging the expedited repeal of Country of Origin Labelling (COOL), in light of the latest ruling from the World Trade Organization.

The Province of Saskatchewan greatly values Canada-U.S. trade relationship, in not only the livestock sector but countless other areas as well. In terms of agriculture and agrifood trade, Canada is the top export destination for the majority of U.S. states and among the top five agricultural export destinations for almost all states. In turn, Saskatchewan, the leading agri-food exporting province in all of Canada, values the United States as our top market.

The WTO has determined for the fourth time that U.S. COOL for beef and pork discriminates against Canadian cattle and hogs and violates the WTO obligations of United States. The last thing we want is for the WTO ruling to harm our relationship and the easiest way to solve the problem is to repeal COOL. Legislation passed out of the U.S. agriculture committee last week accomplishes that goal.

The repeal of COOL for beef and pork will also strengthen the integrated North American livestock sector, allowing both U.S. and Canadian agri-businesses greater efficiency and competitiveness on the world stage. At the same time, con-

sumers will continue to enjoy safe and affordable food products.

We remain hopeful that the U.S. House and Senate will move to repeal COOL before the Canadian government is forced to impose retaliatory tariffs on goods destined to the Canadian market. The imposition of tariffs is the next step in a lengthy dispute before the WTO and we would support those measures, but would prefer the controversy be resolved by the U.S. Congress acting swiftly to repeal COOL. This will allow for the return of normalized trade in our integrated North American cattle and hog sectors.

Co-operation has underpinned our strong trading relationship through-

out the years and we look forward to continuing in that vein.

UNETHICAL DRAINAGE To the Editor: I’m a little confused.

There’s a lot of discussion of late regarding the drainage question.

Farmers have been digging, trenching, plowing, excavating and just moving dirt in general. The vast majority of this is done without the consent of the water authority, which I’ve been told, is not only unethical and immoral, but illegal.

Don’t believe this? Randomly pick someone you know has drained and ask if they have gone through the proper channels. Channels? What channels? If you get my drift.

Now, if the government puts some teeth into legislation and enforcement (including retroactive fining) things may just slow down. Until then, it is a question of conscience and we know how much of that is out there. The “me” culture is alive and well.

Many of these people draining water are neighbours and friends.

Keep in mind that if they do not believe they are doing anything wrong, they immediately become adversaries when approached about it. When one is immersed in the “me” culture, rational thought goes out the window.

I raise cattle. If my cattle get out, it is my responsibility to get them back in.

At my cost. If they do damage to another’s crop or property it is up to me to make it right. Mind you, one person’s damage is another’s inconvenience, but whatever it is it is usually resolved with minimal friction.

When people drain water off their land it goes somewhere. In many cases they could care less, just as long as it is gone. This water will, in many cases, erode and damage the route it takes and pool where water has historically not pooled, thus creating damage, some long term, to others who certainly did not ask for it. It’s no wonder it’s almost impossible to get drainage consent from downstream producers. They get stuck with the problem.

So the question is this: if I am on the hook for my cattle unintentionally getting out, why aren’t water drainers who do it intentionally?

OPINION » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE are prime minister of Canada. Both were, at one time, an MP from Calgary and both were leaders of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Richard Bedford Bennett was prime minister from 1930 to 1935. My research found he did some important things during his time in office, which was during the Great Depression. a) He recognized that grain companies were not treating farmers right, so he put in place legislation that would give farmers a marketing system much like the fruit growers had in California. b) There was no way he could communicate to people over the entire country, so he set up the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1932; the same communication tool that the current PM would like to shut down.

&

c) He set up the Bank of Canada to regulate interest rates. It seemed at the time these were all very progressive legislation, but times were so bad during the Depression he never got credit.

The other is the current prime minister, Stephen Harper, who became leader of the Conservative Party through the National Citizens Coalition, which was going to get rid of the Canadian Wheat Board. He directed agriculture minster Gerry Ritz to fire all the elected board of directors, even though the Canadian Wheat Board had become one of the world’s most well respected companies that we have in Canada and had become the world’s biggest marketer of wheat and barley.

During my tenure on the elected advisory committee, I became chairman and had the privilege of giving many presentations at the Grain Institute in Winnipeg when many of

our customers were there making deals with the board.

I also hosted many of our customers out in the country so they could see the progress of the crops and be my guests at a barbecue at our farm.

Of all the time that I was with our customers, I never heard one negative remark of the ser vice they received. It was a very rewarding experience.

This was also the case during a trip to Japan and China. Japan always bought 1 CW 13.5-13 percent protein up to 1.5 million tonnes per year with one exception — they got word that U.S. grain was being trucked across the border and dumped into our elevator. They were going to Winnipeg to register the complaint.

In China, I asked to visit a discharge elevator in Shanghai. The manager recognized the Canadian Wheat Board cap I had on and said, in quite good English, “Canada Wheat good.”

At that time, they were buying 3 CW as they wanted to feed as many people as they could and the price was good. Everywhere I went, they were very much aware that Canada and China signed the first wheat deal in British sterling and that the CWB was the first to recognize that China really needed food.

I read Ritz has made more than 10 trips to China. I would suggest he try to find a former Canadian Wheat board cap. It might help in trying to convince them that his private companies will provide as good a service as they were used to with the CWB. In the latest deal, what little I know, no money changed hands. Sounds like a Mickey Mouse deal that nobody can understand.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Twitter alight with frost talk PRODUCER ONLINE

PAUL YANKO

U

sually in this space Robin Booker and I talk about what’s been popular — the stories already generating traffic — on our website and on social media feeds recently.

This week is different. We’re discussing a story whose eventual scope is, unfortunately, just beginning to be understood.

As I sit down to write this column, it’s barely 36 hours after southern and western Manitoba has just been hit with a frost so severe that it appears many farmers are contemplating re-seeding.

One of our Twitter followers, Mike Stott (@BlackPearl152) who farms near Brandon, says the mercury dipped to -5 C on his farm.

Other reports say the mercury dipped as low as -7 C. Bill Craddock, whose farm is located near Fannystelle, told the Commodity News Network “many of the fields in the region were ‘wiped out’ by the frost.”

Twitter was heating up afternoon of June 1 with chatter about how much damage had been done and where.

According to the WP’s Robert Arnason, early reports suggest the frost hit areas west of Winnipeg, around Elm Creek and Elie. Fields north and west of Brandon were also affected.

Justin Jenner, who runs a 4,500 acre grain and cattle operation near Minnedosa wasn’t sounding optimistic.

“It’s looking like most of the (fields) will have to be re-seeded,” Jenner told Arnason.

Jenner, a Keystone Agricultural Producers vice-president, said he’s going to have to reseed 1,000 acres of canola.

Elmer Kaskiw, a Manitoba Agriculture crop production adviser in Minnedosa, says that Jenner is not alone.

“We’ve never had this type of black frost…. Saturday (May 30) morning by nine or 10 o’clock, the plants were turning black…. The dry, black frost, it really smoked the canola quite badly.”

Reuters News Service out of Winnipeg sent out a tweet June 1 stating that 700 insurance claims had already been filed that morning, nearly doubling the year’s total and that most were for canola.

It’s early in the week, but this story has been pegged to the top of the list of stories most popular on the WP site for most of this day.

If the damage is as widespread and severe as early reports indicate, this story and its follow-ups will continue to draw the attention of readers.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

Economist sees lower land prices in crystal ball The weakest market is in Alberta, due to oil prices, while land values in Ontario are seeing double digit growth

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GUELPH, Ont. — Ontario farmland values may be about to soften, according to a speaker here at an economic outlook conference on May 26. “If I have to look in the crystal ball, I’d say you can expect changes in farmland prices next year, farmland prices going down,� University of Guelph agricultural economist Brady Deaton Jr. said.

Prices have already softened in

Iowa, which tends to mirror Ontario, by nine percent but that drop needs to be put into context. Even with the fall, Iowa farmland prices are still higher than they were two years ago and five years ago, Deaton said.

There are certain parallels to today’s situation with what occurred in the 1970s, but also differences.

Parallels include dramatic increases in commodity prices and farmland values for both periods. What’s different is that while net farm income remained relatively flat in the 1970s, it’s risen over the past few

years and farmers have also enjoyed low interest rates.

When the farm crisis hit in the early 1980s, interest rates approached 23 percent.

Another important consideration in Ontario is the influence of urban areas, which tends to inflate values beyond their agricultural potential.

Deaton said the Greater Toronto Area is now the fourth largest metropolitan area in North America.

J.P. Gervais, chief agricultural economist with Farm Credit Canada, said there is a possibility that farm-

land values in Ontario could be decline but for now the market is hot. “You’re still seeing double digit growth for farmland values in Ontario,� he said.

Perhaps the weakest market is in Alberta, Gervais said. Depending on the direction the price of oil takes, he said a drop to zero growth in farmland values this year wouldn’t be surprising.

He does expect Saskatchewan values to increase further, remaining in the double digit range. Values increased by close to 30 percent in 2013

and by more than 15 percent last year.

There’s similar strong growth in Manitoba.

In Ontario, farmland values increased by 30 percent in 2012, about 15 percent in 2013 and more than 10 percent last year.

According to Steve Duff, senior economist with Ontario’s agriculture ministry, farmland values in 2014 averaged $8,400 per acre. However, some land sold in the vicinity of $25,000 per acre.

In Quebec, the increase was more than 25 percent in 2012, close to 25 percent in 2013 and around 15 percent last year.

Deaton talked about the phenomena of foreign farmland ownership in Canada. The best numbers put it around one percent, similar to the US where 1.7 percent of farmland and forest land is foreign owned.

The country with the biggest stake in U.S. farm and forest land is Canada, which may be a surprise to some, Deaton said.

Foreign and other non-farmer ownership of farmland can have an impact on values but Deaton suspects this is likely to be regional in nature rather than having a broad impact.

He encouraged those attending the conference to take a look at the recent Losing Our Grip study released by the National Farmers Union this spring.

Deaton’s own research looks at farmland rental trends.

If you’re looking for a deal in Ontario, renting from an active farmer may be a poor choice. According to 2013 Ontario survey data, active farmers charged more than any other group in the province.

Retired farmers and investment companies also charged a good dollar for farmland rental. Widowers and non-farmer rural residents tended to charge significantly less.

Another interesting finding relates to how farmers treat the land they own compared to the land they rent.

They’re more likely to plant cover crops on owned land but that tends to fade as the length of lease agreements increases.

HONEYBEE HEALTH

Researchers want to reduce colony losses even further While some beekeepers reported losses of less than 25 percent, others experienced 75 percent mortality

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Over-wintering colony losses are down in Ontario and the United States, but concern for honeybee health continues.

A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture survey found that the yearly loss from April 2014 to April 2015 rose to an unsustainable 42 percent and last year, summer colony losses of 27.4 percent were higher than winter losses for the first time.

“If beekeepers are going to meet the growing demand for pollination services, researchers need to find better answers to the host of stresses that lead to both winter and summer colony losses,” said Jeff Petis, a senior entomologist with the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service.

A beekeeper survey in Ontario puts over-winter losses at 30 percent, which is down from last year’s staggering 58 percent loss.

However, Lorna Irwin of the Ontario Beekeepers Association said the 30 percent figure is an average, and outcomes for individual beekeepers varied widely.

“It’s all over the map,” Irwin said.

“Some beekeepers had devastating losses and some fared quite well.”

Forty-five percent of beekeepers reported losses of less than 25 percent and 22 percent reported losses of more than 75 percent.

The top three suspected causes were colonies being too small, normal winter losses and pesticides. Of less concern to those surveyed were varroa mites, queen problems and insufficient food stores.

Seventy percent of respondents said “some” or “most” of their colonies were located within three kilometres of corn or soybean fields.

Factors other than varroa mites were said to be at play in both Ontario and the U.S,. given the aggressive action that most commercial beekeepers take to control the parasitic insect.

A report released a few weeks ago

by Paul Kozak, Ontario’s provincial apiarist, refers to multiple “in-season” mortality reports from Ontario beekeepers for last year. These were characterized by the mass disappearance of worker bees, dead and dying bees at the colony entrances, loss of queen bees and the failure of colonies to thrive.

Fifty-two Ontario beekeepers reported in-season mortality incidents at 322 bee yards to the federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency, Kozak said. The incidents continue to be investigated.

Reported incidents during the planting season were lower last year than in 2013. However, mortality reports came later in the season.

“Overall, it is difficult to make conclusions based on a single field season, and it is important to track the issue over several years to understand the impact of weather, the routes of neonicotinoid exposure and the factors that influence bee health,” Kozak said.

He said Ontario beekeepers are also reporting high levels of queen loss and supersedure, which is the replacement of queens by the colony. Queen concerns were especially worrying in southern Ontario.

Challenges facing beekeepers are

viewed as a threat to the industry’s ability to deliver pollination services.

The demand for such services is growing in Ontario, and beekeepers operated 112,000 colonies by the end of last year, thanks to rebuilding efforts.

As well, 30,800 colonies were sent out of the province last year.

“Since 2010, the number of Ontario colonies used for pollination in other provinces has … more than doubled,” Kozak said.

Up to 100,000 additional colonies may be needed in another 10 years because of the growing demand for blueberry pollination, he added.

Those of us who study bees are agreed that bees face many problems, of which neonicotinoids are just one.

DAVE GOULSON BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE PROFESSOR

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been cited as a major concern for beekeepers and other pollinators, but according to an article published recently in the Ecologist, it’s not the

only concern connected to modern agricultural practices.

“Those of us who study bees are agreed that bees face many problems, of which neonicotinoids are just one,” said Dave Goulson, a biological science professor at the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom.

“There are few flowers, new bee diseases and parasites have invaded from abroad, and they are exposed to cocktails of many different pesticides throughout their lives.”

Goulson also cited a large one-year field study from Sweden that was recently published in Nature.

It found that honeybees were not significantly affected by canola grown with a neonicotinoid seed treatment containing clothianidin, but bumblebees fared poorly and solitary bees failed to reproduce next to treated fields.

“New work suggests that bees may be the canary in the coal mine, and that the environmental impacts of neonicotinoids go far beyond bees,” Goulson said.

“The pesticides accumulate and persist in soils for many years, routinely turn up in fresh water systems and are also found in wild plants growing in field margins.”

Study disputes Wheat Belly author claims Results of a study of 37 old and new wheat varieties debunks the theory that modern wheat ‘is the worst thing you can eat’

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

“Wheat of today is nothing like the wheat of 40 years ago”: William Davis, author of Wheat Belly.

Davis, the cultural leader of the gluten free movement, has argued that wheat makes millions of people sick every year because modern wheat is a “Frankenwheat,” which is toxic to humans.

University of Saskatchewan research, just published in Cereal Chemistry, suggests that Davis is dead

wrong. After evaluating the chemical composition of 37 spring wheat varieties, U of S experts concluded that modern wheat is essentially the same as wheat grown in the 1800s and early 1900s.

Ravi Chibbar, a U of S plant sciences professor and Canada Research Chair in crop quality, said the nutritional composition of Red Fife, a variety developed in 1860, is very similar to Unity, a variety from the 2000s.

“We looked at the carbohydrates, that is total starch, the total proteins and the polymeric proteins, which

include the gluten,” said Chibbar, who presented the findings in a poster at the Canadian Nutrition

Society conference, held in Winnipeg May 29-30. “(Polymeric proteins) are 60 to 70 percent of all the proteins in the grain…. We found there was no definite trend of an increase over time.”

Data from the poster illustrated that the amount of starch in spring wheat, grown in Canada, has remained around 60 percent for more than a century.

As well, the concentration of polymeric proteins was very similar in the 37 varieties, ranging from 57 to 65 percent of total protein.

“The glutenin and gliadin composition… also do not show any specific trends in accumulation… over time,” Chibbar said.

“Gluten is a complex, made up of several proteins…. There are some minor changes but essentially they are the same…. We thought maybe the polymeric proteins would be low (for older varieties) and high (for newer varieties). But there is no such difference.”

Chibbar, in an interview at the nutrition conference, said the results were surprising because Davis’s beliefs, that modern wheat is completely different from ancient wheat, is a cornerstone of the gluten free philosophy.

Davis has said that modern wheat is an “opiate,” and the wheat of today is “by far, hands down, the worst thing you can eat.”

Chibbar said newer wheat varieties yield more bushels per acre, flower earlier and are shorter than older wheat varieties, but the exaggerated claims around nutritional changes are wrong.

“When we were looking at all the news coverage (around wheat and gluten)… we thought there maybe was a change,” he said. “The nutritional quality of the grain, the grain composition, hasn’t really changed very much…. It is very similar to what the grain was in 1860.”

Christine Lowry, executive director of the Healthy Grains Institute in Canada, said most cereal experts already knew that plant breeding hadn’t dramatically altered the nutritional profile of wheat.

But there was little or no published research on the topic.

“The size (of the grain) may have changed and they (farmers) may get more yield per acre,” Lowry said.

“I think people look at visual changes and think this must be the reason for X,Y or Z…. There have been a lot of anecdotal myths out there.”

Using Canada research chair funding, Chibbar was able to study the nutritional composition of 37 spring wheat varieties in 2013.

His U of S colleague, Pierre Hucl, had been growing old and new wheat varieties since 1989.

Hucl, a plant sciences professor and wheat expert, grew the CWRS varieties in plots to evaluate the benefits of plant breeding, such as increases in yield over time.

After repeating the experiment in 2014, there was sufficient data to publish a paper in Cereal Chemistry.

“It took us (nearly) three years to get to this stage to publish, even though the data was there,” Chibbar said.

“We (had) to be very thorough because we get it peer reviewed. Whereas (Davis’) book was never peer reviewed by scientists. That’s a big difference.”

Chibbar, a member of the scientific advisory council for the Healthy Grains Institute, said he wants to provide the public with the facts: wheat has been and continues to be an important and nutritious grain.

“As we’ve said always, the whole civilization is based on wheat grain.

Something (valuable) must be in there.” robert.arnason@producer.com

ALBERTA FAMILY LAW

Living common law:

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Common law farming couples in Alberta face more complicated legal situations than married couples if they split up and have to figure out settlements involving the family farm.

There is no presumption of equal contribution to the farm and no automatic division of property for common law couples under Alberta law, said Kurt Schlachter, a partner with Stringam Denecky in Lethbridge who specializes in family law.

For married couples, federal law guides matters in the event of divorce. It allows for automatic division of property and presumes each partner makes an equal contribution to the operation after marriage.

That’s not the case for couples in common law relationships.

“There’s a distinction here and it’s a big one, probably the last area of law where there’s a big difference between married and non-married couples,” said Schlachter.

“Non-married, the big difference is currently in Alberta, there’s no legislation dealing with non-married couples and property so there’s no presumption of equal contribution.

We have to take an entirely different approach legally.

KURT SCHLACHTER LAWYER

“The law continues to evolve in this area,” said Schlachter, in reference to common law scenarios. He gave an overview of divorce and the family farm to the Lethbridge branch of the Canadian Association of Farm Advisors on May 22.

Essentially, settlement can be easier for married couples than those who live common law.

“I can tell you that these are the most complicated cases that I deal with, when we have non-marriage property, because we have to do much more digging and much more analysis about those contributions, unless someone’s prepared to accept that it should be equal, which sometimes happens.”

Schlachter said he recommends pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements to couples or some type of cohabitation agreement in the case of non-married couples.

He acknowledges that conversations about pre-nuptial agreements can be awkward but if a family farm is

involved, it is wise.

“Pre-nuptial agreements I recommend in any scenario where either spouse is bringing an asset base or an income stream that they had before.”

Pre or post-nuptial agreements without full financial disclosure and independent legal advice can have value, but may not be binding should the parties separate later.

“If you do it on a napkin, you take your chances.”

In any split, provisions for dependent children always come first, but in the case of farm families, calculation of an appropriate amount may require the use of experts, said Schlachter.

Different legislation applies to spousal support, he said.

“If you have a very traditional marriage where one spouse has stayed home, primarily looked after the home and the children, it’s going to be a good case for spousal support because when the marriage breaks down, the primary income earner is going to carry on but that spouse needs to be able to survive and move on in their life as well.”

Factors affecting spousal support include length of the marriage, income, age, career history, needs and health issues.

“Generally, the longer the relationship or the marriage is, the more likely support is going to be an issue

for the spouse.”

Specific to splits involving a farming couple, total property is considered: land, equipment, asset to debt ratio, investments, livestock and other property of value.

If the parties can’t agree, a court can direct that everything be sold, debts paid and the remainder divided. However, that has tax implications.

“You are generally well advised to try to come up with your own solution,” said Schlachter.

“Most commonly, what I call horse trading happens and that’s when we figure out a fair way to divvy up the property and debts based on the notion of equality.”

Sustainability of the farm must be carefully considered if one spouse plans to continue the operation.

Schlachter said sometimes selling all or some of the land or assets is the only option, but those involved should always get expert tax advice first.

Gordon Colledge, a mediator with Advance Communications, said he has noticed a higher incidence of marriage breakdown in older couples in recent years.

“It got nicknamed ‘the grey divorce’ simply because of age,” he said.

“Simply because somebody is married a long time, 35, 38, 40 years or more, doesn’t guarantee that it’s going to survive and many times if there is not a shift in the couple relationship, the senior couple relationship on the farm, then you can almost expect that they’re going to go their separate ways.”

Colledge said he has seen scenarios where a younger farming couple, tied by blood to the older farming couple, is left in limbo when the parents divorce.

Suddenly the younger couple’s life plans on the farm are uncertain and they can’t fully commit to it.

That is one reason Colledge recommends careful succession planning that takes into account various scenarios.

“We need to get in there and have the courage to have that conversation,” he said.

Fortunately, the younger generation tends to be better communicators who are able to discuss their desires and feelings, he said. barb.glen@producer.com

hickpeas, often called garbanzo beans, are small, round, nutritional powerhouses. Not only are they a good source of fibre and protein but also provide folate as well as many other vitamins and minerals.

Chickpeas are part of the pulse crop family, which includes lentils, beans and dried peas. They have a nutty flavour and are a popular ingredient in many world cuisines.

Notable are dishes such as hummus and falafel from the Middle East, salads from the Mediterranean, chickpea and chorizo soup or spinach and chickpeas from Spain and curry and chana masala from South Asia.

There is nothing easier than opening a can, rinsing chickpeas and adding them to a salad or soup for extra flavour, fibre and protein.

When buying dried chickpeas, make sure to choose them from a store with a high turnover to ensure that the chickpeas have not been sitting on the shelf for too long.

After about a year, chickpeas become so dry that they are hard to cook and will not soften easily.

Extra time spent in cooking them will be rewarded with a rich, nutty flavour and creamy texture.

Dry chickpeas should be soaked overnight to ensure they cook evenly.

For one cup (250 mL) of chick-

peas, soak in three cups (750 mL) of water. Chickpeas need to soak for four to eight hours. Refrigerate during soaking to ensure they do not ferment.

When you are ready to cook, rinse to wash away carbohydrates and sugar that can cause gas. Cover with three times the amount of water as the amount of chickpeas, adding one cup (250 mL) of chickpeas to three cups (750 mL) of water.

You can add onion, salt, parsley, thyme or a bay leaf for added flavour. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat to maintain a gentle simmer. This ensures that the skins will remain intact and they will cook to a creamy texture rather than a mealy one.

After about 1 1/4 hours, check for doneness. It usually takes about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours to cook chickpeas.

Yo u c a n m a k e a q u i c k a n d healthy snack by rinsing and draining a can of chickpeas, tossing them with one tablespoon (15 mL) of canola oil and seasonings such as sea salt, garam masala, smoked paprika, cumin or garlic powder.

Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet and roast at 425 F (220 C) for 30 minutes or until they begin to brown. Stir every 10 minutes during cooking.

Remove from heat and let cool on baking sheet for another 35 to 45 minutes or until completely cool.

Store in an airtight container for up to two days.

ON THE FARM

Business owners live the sweet life Word of mouth has put Zee-Bee Honey into expansion mode

ON THE FARM

BY PAT REDIGER FREELANCE WRITER

ZEHNER, Sask. — Business is buzzing for Zee-Bee Honey, a business that evolved from Michelle Frischholz’s hobby.

Zee-Bee Honey, a privately owned company near Regina, produces 20,000 to 25,000 pounds of honey per year for farmers markets and stores across Saskatchewan. It also produces candles made from the beeswax and honey flavoured with such tastes as lemon, orange spice and ginger.

“I think it’s still a hobby, one that’s gone crazy,” said Michelle, who started with two hives in 2006.

“My uncle had bees and I guess that piqued my interest,” she said.

Her passion for beekeeping quickly expanded when she joined the Regina and District Bee Club, meeting other bee enthusiasts and getting industry tips.

She started from the organic farm she operates with her husband, Perry, purchasing an extractor and increasing the hives to 100.

MICHELLE & PERRY FRISCHHOLZ Zehner, Sask.

In 2008, her business was inspected and registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Key to effective beekeeper is sustainable farming practices. The couple provides ample space and diverse vegetation for the bees.

Perry said the bees have been a good fit for the farm.

“The bees have provided a good source of diversification for our farming operation. They complement our grain crops and seed production,” he said.

Michelle said they have much natural bush on their land. They planted sainfoin, a legume similar to alfalfa, for the bees so they always have something blooming. They also have fruit trees, dandelions, caraganas

and their colonies have been largely spared from high winter losses.

Marketing was a challenge initially so Michelle joined the Regina Farmers’ Market, where she sells her products two days a week from May to October. She also joined groups like Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan, which helped create a business plan and get her product into stores.

From there, Michelle said it has largely been customer referrals that has allowed Zee-Bee’s honey to be picked up by restaurants, retail outlets, butcher shops, bakeries, cafes,

Austin Pizzey and his four siblings have grown up on a fourth-generation family grain farm in western Manitoba.

He got involved in the farm at an early age, beginning with machinery “operation” while spending time in tractor cabs with his parents. It was only a short step from there to solo swather operation and he went on to run other farm equipment.

Austin learned machinery maintenance first by helping in the farm shop and learning to build and modify equipment, including a larger water trailer for spraying and a smaller seeder for handling potholes and smaller areas. He now farms 40 acres of his own, which he rents from his father. He pays for his own crop inputs and has learned to scout his crops as well as market them.

Austin’s farm experience has guided him to a planned future career in agriculture and mechanics.

“With the help of the Western Producer scholarship, I plan to obtain a degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Saskatchewan and return to the field of agriculture to test and design agricultural equipment,” says Austin.

“Overall, I feel that the advantage of growing up on a farm has offered me guidance and insight into my goals for post-secondary education and future career.”

boutiques and other stores around Saskatchewan.

“It’s really word of mouth. Sometimes stores will come to the farmers market looking for a local producer, other times they’ll call me in and ask for a demonstration,” she said.

Zee-Bee is also a member of the Saskatchewan Trade Export Partnership, which has helped them to start expanding into markets in Alberta and Ontario.

“Expansions to our ‘hobby’ is happening whether we like it or not,” Michelle said.

LIFE INSURANCE, ESTATE PLAN

One size doesn’t fit all A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

hen friends and family gather subjects involving law often come up, whether it be wills or the divorce of a cousin.

That usually leads to “here’s what the lawyer told me to do.”

The problem is that the legal advice tailored for your aunt Alice might not fit your needs.

For example, insurance is one of the tools that lawyers might recommend to assist planning her estate. Most provinces require that your will leave a large portion of your estate to your current spouse. If Alice left everything to her children, her second husband could challenge the will under a host of different legislation.

By leaving most of her estate to her husband and providing for her children as beneficiaries under her life insurance, she is best able to provide an inheritance to her children.

Insurance is also useful when trying to equalize an estate between siblings. Imagine if Alice was a widow who farmed with her son, Brett.

She has another son, David, who moved out of province and has an office job.

She wants to leave the farm to Brett, but she’s worried that the rest of the estate, which she would leave to David, won’t be nearly as valuable as the land and machinery. She doesn’t mind Brett getting a little more of the estate than David because he helped her run the farm, but she doesn’t want to be unfair.

Alice could purchase insurance to try to make up for what she thinks the shortfall will be in David’s share. It won’t be perfect but the farm stays in the family under Brett’s care, and David will get his share topped up.

There are plenty of reasons to get insurance, but whether it makes sense as part of an estate plan is case by case. A lawyer can help with that.

SEW YOUR OWN

Make a linen bag for bread and produce TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

read remains fresh longer if protected from sunlight, kept cool and allowed to breathe.

Plastic bags trap moisture and make the crust rubbery and soft. Keeping bread in the refrigerator will suck out the moisture and it will stale faster.

Herbs, lettuces and most produce also keep longer when stored in a bag that breathes. Wash the produce first and then put it into the bag without drying it. This little bit of moisture helps maintain freshness. Stow the bag in the produce drawer of your refrigerator.

Linen is an ideal fabric. It is heavier and stronger than most cottons and because the fibres are coarser, the fabric has a more open weave. Linen is difficult to find and most clothing store sales clerks don’t even know what it is.

I have searched Western Canada and found only two sources: Gala Fabrics in Victoria and Mitchell Fabrics in Winnipeg. Both will email pictures and send out fabric swatches for distance shopping.

This simple drawstring bag works equally well for storing produce and bread. We are creating a simple bag with French seams all around and a drawstring top. French seams have no raw edges exposed.

What you will need: 2 pieces of fabric 14 inches by 16 inches (35 cm by 40 cm) co-ordinating thread 1 yard of 1 inch twill tape (1 m) Step 1: Prewash the fabric, dry and press it before cutting. Cut fabric to size. If you want to personalize the bag with embroidery work, do it now.

Step 2: Place one piece of fabric with short side at the top on your ironing board. Along this short end,

mark 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) from each side edge. Fold the fabric at this mark and press down the long side about three inches (7.6 cm) on both sides.

This finishes the edges of the openings for the drawstring tubing. Then fold the top edge of the fabric down 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) and press. Open this fold and turn under the raw edge by 1/4 inch (6 mm) and press. Repeat with the second piece of fabric. You now have the channel formed for the drawstring.

Step 3: Stitch along the bottom of the tube. With scissors, snip the folded fabric just under the tubing so that it will lay flat and press.

Step 4: Pin the two pieces together, with the right side facing you. That means that it will be pinned with the wrong sides together. This is not how you normally make a seam. This is the first step in making a French seam, where no raw edges will be exposed. Stitch the three raw edge sides of the bag 1/4 inch (6 mm) from the raw edge. Trim off half of the seam allowance. Flip the bag inside out and press.

Step 5: The bag is now inside out.

Stitch again the three sides at 1/4 inch (6 mm) seam allowance. Flip the bag right side out again and press. You now have all the seams with no exposed raw edges. The outside edge of the bag should be flush with the outside edge of the tubing channel.

Step 6: Reinforce the side seams just below the tubing channel with a wide machine zigzag or with hand stitching. To finish the drawstring, attach a safety pin to one end of the twill tape and guide it through the tubing.

Stitch the ends of the twill tape together to form a loop that is used as a drawstring to close the bag.

FARM LIVING NOTES SCIENCE WINNER

FARM SAFETY PROGRAM

A 4-H member from Kitchener, Ont., took first place for her dairy barn cleaning invention at the Canada Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, N.B., last month.

Charlene Elliott’s Lugano 100 barn scraper for free stall dairy barns automates the process of cleaning manure out of alleyways without disturbing the cows’ bedding areas. The add-on to existing scraper systems can be angled to push sand into the alley, where it is picked up by the scraper.

Earlier this year, Elliot won first place in the individual category of the first ever 4-H Canada science and technology contest.

Elliott, whose family operates a 90 cow dairy, helps with milking, bookkeeping, calf registration, attends dairy evaluation clinics, participates in dairy judging and is a member of the Brown Swiss Association.

The Barnyard and Boots rural and farm safety program is expected to reach more than 1,400 rural students in Alberta’s County of Grande Prairie this year.

Grade 4 students will rotate through safety stations, see demonstrations and participate in interactive sessions. Topics include animal safety, dugout and water safety, chemical, grain and machinery safety.

Presented by Grande Prairie and Area Safe Communities and Agriculture for Life, the free program helped 1,000 students develop farm safety skills in 2014 when it was launched.

Founding members include Agrium Inc., ATB Financial, ATCO Group, Penn West, Rocky Mountain Equipment, TransCanadaCorporationandUFACooperative Ltd. Contributing members : AdFarm and Glacier FarmMedia, Bayer CropScience and Co-operators Group.

FARM MANAGEMENT

NEONICOTINOID STRATEGY

Large eggs in demand

U.S. insecticide plan lacking, say beekeepers

BY JEFFREY CARTER

Alberta produces more medium eggs than national average

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fewer medium eggs are coming off Alberta farms, and Christina Robinson says that’s a good thing.

Medium-sized eggs are less sought after in the marketplace than larger eggs and fetch producers a smaller return, yet Alberta sees a larger percentage of these than other provinces.

The national average of mediumsized eggs compared to total egg production hovers at about 15 percent, but it can be 20 percent or more in Alberta.

Excess medium egg production can cost producers $2 per bird per year, said Robinson, producer services manager with Egg Farmers of Alberta.

“Lots of food service industries still use medium eggs, but it’s harder to sell them and they are sold at 50 cents less per dozen,” she said.

Robinson said large eggs are sometimes brought in from other provinces and the United States to meet demand, meaning producers are leaving money on the table.

“We’re not meeting the demands of the marketplace, so that’s another concern, not just the viability of farms,” she said.

The Alberta group began studying the issue in the late 2000s, surveying producers, identifying farms that were producing more medium eggs and working with them to identify management practices that could optimize production.

Officials were surprised to learn that some producers were trying to produce more medium eggs for improved egg shell quality.

“That was very eye opening for us,” said Valerie Carney, a poultry researcher with Alberta Agriculture who worked on the project.

“A medium-sized egg … even though they’re getting a discount, it was still worth it because they were getting paid something versus not getting anything for cracked eggs at the end.”

Producers can help maintain egg shell quality with proper nutrition.

Excess calcium, for instance, can be harmful.

“They’re quite good managers because they know how to manage in a way to affect egg size — you have to have some management savvy to do that — but they didn’t understand the broader context of the choices that they were making in terms of the levies and stuff like that — the cost to the industry,” said Carney.

The Prairies can see higher medium egg numbers than other parts of the country because of the number of operations raising their own pullets and using their own on-farm feed mills, said Robinson.

These farms may be less likely to have a regular feed testing program and nutritionist consultations, while on-farm feed mixing can see variations in ingredient composition.

Management plays a key role: smaller hens will lay smaller eggs.

Carney advises producers to pay attention to bird weights, allow “the birds to guide your management decisions” and feed above breeder guide targets when needed.

“Because the genetics of the birds are moving so quickly, the breeder guides are typically out of date,” she

said. “It’s at least a year, probably more like a year and a half or two years, behind the actual genetics that you have today, so if you’re just using the guide to guide you, you’re out of date.”

The Alberta producer project culminated with a series of workshops in 2013.

Robinson said she doesn’t expect to see Alberta’s medium egg numbers fall to the lower end, but she’s pleased with the small decline.

“I see in our numbers that our medium egg production is going down, and I think we can attribute that to better awareness,” she said. dan.yates@producer.com

FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Beekeepers in the United States and Ontario face similar challenges from neonicotinoid insecticides, according to the president of the American Beekeeping Federation.

They’re a major concern, perhaps the top concern, in both jurisdictions, Tim Tucker said. The difference is in how his organization and the Ontario Beekeepers Association have responded to the issue.

“Most of the big beekeepers here don’t want to offend agriculture by siding with the environmental whackos,” Tucker said in an interview.

In Ontario, the OBA originally sup-

ported an outright ban on the insecticides but has since softened its position, asking only for the end of prophylactic use of the insecticides.

The U.S. federation has no formal position on the matter, but Tucker has repeatedly said he supports a shift to the targeted use of the neonicotinoid insecticides.

Other federation directors have not opposed those statements, he added.

“I think definitely a use like that, when most of the pesticide doesn’t end up where it’s intended to go, isn’t the best use of it,” he said.

Tucker’s comments came in the wake of the release of a White House plan to address honeybee and pollinator concerns. It sets an ambitious

target of reducing colony over-wintering losses to no more than 15 percent within 10 years.

The strategy calls for more research, broad improvements to provide better pollinator habitat and further study and a review of neonicotinoids and other pesticides.

“We feel that the report, the strategy, in a lot of respects is a good thing, but a lot people feel it didn’t go far enough by suggesting a ban on neonics or at least a ban on the prophylactic use of neonics,” Tucker said.

He said the lack of action to address the problem is likely political.

“The big money runs the Senate and the House through the electoral process. The regulatory process is controlled by the political process.”

TAX RULES

WEATHER INFORMATION

Bill urges tax deferred transfer of assets to siblings

Program delves into impact, risks of weather

NDP motion opposed by Conservatives, saying it would â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;loosen the application of the anti-avoidance ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A motion from an NDP member of Parliament seeks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;correctâ&#x20AC;? income tax rules and simplify complex farm succession regulations.

Under one section of the Income Tax Act, siblings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered related, leaving them unable to receive the same tax exemptions on asset transfers as spouses and children.

An NDP-sponsored bill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; C-661, Facilitating the Transfer of Family Farm or Fishing Corporations Act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; would amend the rule, although pri-

vate member bills rarely become law. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value of farmland has jumped so much in recent years that it would be virtually impossible to pay even just the taxes on the transaction value if one of the partners had to quit the business. That is what is happening right now,â&#x20AC;? Francine Raynault, who introduced the bill, told the House of Commons earlier this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two ways to deal with this problem, but they are complicated and costly, if not impossible.

The first way to get around the provisions of subsection 55(2) of the Income Tax Act is what I just ex-

plained: create a new company and transfer some of the assets of the business in order to save on taxes on the transaction. However, this solution is available only to people who are deemed not to be operating at armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length, which is not the case for brothers and sisters at the moment.â&#x20AC;?

The change has previously been proposed by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture as one way to assist young farmers.

When debated earlier this month, the bill received support from a Liberal MP, but was opposed by members of the majority Conservatives,

THE FUTURE OF CRUSHING IS HERE DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T GET LEFT IN THE DUST Finding the new aggregate specs a challenge?

who say the rules are consistent with other regulations that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow for tax-deferred transfers of assets between siblings.

In the federal budget released last month, the Conservatives did raise the lifetime capital gains exemption for farm owners to $1 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill C-661 would loosen the application of the anti-avoidance rule at a time when the government is trying to strengthen integrity of the tax system by closing loopholes that allow tax avoidance,â&#x20AC;?

Rare is the prairie conversation that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start with talk about the weather.

Agriculture Canada would like to hear more of that talk.

The Agroclimate Impact Reporter program has been around for 15 years as part of the drought watch program established by the former Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration.

About 350 volunteers report on the Prairies and British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Peace River region, but the program has now gone national and more participants are welcome, particularly as more extreme weather events occur, said Trevor Hadwen, an agroclimate specialist in Regina.

He said reporting how much rain is received tells analysts only part of the story. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really looking for is how that dry weather is actually impacting a farmer,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is his story or what is her story on the farm? Are they needing to purchase extra feed? Are they having increased cattle mortality because of increased disease? What are the issues that are occurring?â&#x20AC;?

The program produces maps to help producers and scientists understand whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening to agroclimate conditions locally and regionally.

The information could help identify risks, such as a looming drought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to start documenting how the weather impacts agriculture,â&#x20AC;? Hadwen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know it has a significant role, but when we start to put together some of our policies to try to provide assistance programs to producers, the question always come back to us, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received 40 percent of normal precipitation, so what?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Hadwen said there are three ways to participate: â&#x20AC;˘ Send in a report online, by phone or by fax. â&#x20AC;˘ Sign up as a subscriber to receive a monthly email containing five to 10 questions. This option allows people to remain anonymous but does require a land location. â&#x20AC;˘ Register as a member. Hadwen said these volunteers will receive the same survey, but officials will be able to contact them to follow up on particular issues.

Monthly maps are produced to show particular impacts. For example, one map shows land that was seeded and subsequently lost to flooding.

Hadwen said the reporter network has been stable during the course of the program, and the addition of more reporters will help everyone better understand the effects of climate variability and severe weather.

Improvements to the website are expected to be made within the next week or so.

MANITOBA HOG SECTOR

Years of challenges for pork council leader Karl Kynoch, who was chair of the Manitoba Pork Council for 11 years, stepped down from his position this spring. Kynoch presided over a chaotic period, including an unprecedented moratorium on hog barn construction.

In response to public outrage over massive algal blooms in Lake Winnipeg, the province banned new hog barns and expansion of existing barns.

Manitoba pork producers have argued that the province needed a villain

and blamed them, despite science showing hogs were responsible for a fraction of the nutrients entering the lake.

Producers have left the business over the last seven years, and pork processing plants in Brandon and Neepawa are now concerned about pig supply.

Kynoch recently shared his thoughts about the moratorium and the future of Manitoba’s hog sector.

BY ROBERT ARNASON

KYNOCH: Going forward, labour is going to be a huge challenge with the new regulations. You also have to have a positive image of the industry to get people to work in the industry…. And the government has put a large number of new regulations on the industry…. We’re not competitive with the U.S. to build (hog barns) right now…. The cost has significantly increased over the last number of years.

BRANDON BUREAU

WESTERN PRODUCER: What was your most difficult or challenging period as pork council chair?

KARL KYNOCH: The most challenging time I had at pork council was dealing with our own provincial government. The moratorium being put in place … was basically bad public policy due to the fact that the government had an agenda … without giving much thought to the consequences. That created huge challenges for the industry.

WP: When government imposed the temporary moratorium, in 2006, what were you expecting?

KYNOCH: We were told at that time that if we did certain things … and came through the Clean Environment Commission report … the moratorium would be lifted. We believed the government was dealing with us in good faith.

WP: In 2008 the Clean Environment Commission didn’t recommend a ban on hog barn construction. Yet the government maintained the moratorium. Was that a game changing moment?

KYNOCH: That really became politically challenging. The Clean Environment Commission report didn’t suit the government’s agenda.

So they ignored the report…. For the pork industry, that became a huge challenge to counteract.

WP: How would you describe your relationship with the provincial government at that time?

KYNOCH: The relationship was

WP: Do we still have the knowledge and skilled labour to build hog barns?

KYNOCH: Manitoba lost a lot of its expertise on building barns over the last number of years…. But if that demand returns to build the barns, I believe the experts will come back.

Outgoing Manitoba Pork Council chair Karl Kynoch spoke at the organization’s annual meeting April 15. | ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO very tense, due to the fact that regulations were getting implemented without science.

WP: Was the trust broken between the two parties?

KYNOCH: Absolutely.

WP: Was that trust broken both ways?

KYNOCH: There was no reason for the government to mistrust the industry because we did everything that we were asked to do…. But we were told if we had a good report out of CEC we’d be able to move forward

with removing the moratorium, which didn’t happen.

WP: In the 2011 election, were you hoping for a change in government and a change in policy?

KYNOCH: I don’t think a new government would’ve lifted the moratorium. As being a leader of an industry, you have to walk a fine line…. You have to be very careful to not choose sides in an election period, or at any time.

WP: So you weren’t supporting or campaigning for the Progressive Conservatives in the 2011 election?

KYNOCH: I would definitely not choose to support either side as being the leader of a commodity group. But an election period is a time to push your issues, to get them heard.

WP: How concerned are you about Manitoba’s hog industry?

KYNOCH: It’s going to take some time for producers to get confidence back that regulations are stable … to restore that trust…. It’s going to be a long, slow haul to get it back to where it needs to be.

WP: What are your concerns?

WP: Manitoba’s hog industry could be an example of how producers lost their social license to farm. How do you view it?

KYNOCH: Going forward, the challenge for all of agriculture is going to be educating the public. We’re seeing increased public (expectations) on the grain farming side now…. If agriculture doesn’t do a good job of educating the public, we’re going to have some unreasonable challenges that are not justified by science, but just by myth. robert.arnason@producer.com

SASKATCHEWAN LAND OWNERSHIP

Lawyer says land seen as investment, lifestyle Ownership rules depend on vision for farming

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Saskatchewan government wants input on farmland ownership restrictions before changing laws that were last amended in 2002. | FILE PHOTO ONLINE SURVEY

Land ownership views likely to vary

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

What the Saskatchewan government learns from its farmland ownership review will depend largely on who participates in the online survey.

The question of whether to tighten or relax the rules will likely come down to the age and financial position of the respondents.

At one end are the farmers who want to retire or sell and get the best possible price for their land.

At the other is the next generation of farmers who face the costs of entry.

Land value is key to the debate.

Tom Cameron, who owns farmland near Carievale in southeastern Saskatchewan, said he sees both ends of the spectrum.

“I’m of two minds,” he said.

“I understand where some people are coming from: that the free market should prevail, and I’ve worked all my life and I would like to reap the benefits of it now,” he said.

“Ten years ago they would be happy to get $50,000 a quarter and now that they have a chance to maybe get $180,000 or $200,000 a quarter, it’s hard to resist. But it does make it more difficult for the succeeding generation.”

Cameron is at the age where selling his land would make sense.

Instead, he has rented it, below market value, to young neighbours

and told them to make sure they set aside the money they are saving in rent to buy land some day.

One of the criticisms of a more relaxed ownership policy is that land values will skyrocket as more buyers come into play, and those with more money will outbid Cameron’s younger neighbours.

Farm ownership laws were first passed in 1974 and amended a couple of times since. The last amendment in 2002 eased restrictions to allow Canadians and Canadian controlled companies to own up to 320 acres. Foreign interests were still limited to 10 acres.

People pointed to the earlier restrictions for keeping Saskatchewan land values lower than those in neighbouring provinces.

Amanda Gabruch, a University of Saskatchewan agricultural economics student, tackled the subject in a recently completed thesis.

Gabruch used Statistics Canada land values data from 1950 to 2013, which was converted to real 2002 dollars to allow for inflation. That accounted for the year the law changed.

She found that Saskatchewan’s policy between 1974 and 2003 did affect prices.

“For years that the policy was in effect, the price of farmland in Saskatchewan was an average of 3.58 percent to 4.03 percent lower, relative to years where the policy was not in

place,” she said in her thesis.

“This suggests that Saskatchewan’s ownership restrictions did artificially depress land values and gives some insight into why farmland prices are much lower than Alberta or Manitoba. However, since 2003, when the restrictions were relaxed, farmland values have increased by an average of 9.06 percent each year in Saskatchewan… Therefore, not all of the recent increases in Saskatchewan’s farmland values can be attributed to relaxation of ownership restrictions.”

She also found that land values went up .16 percent for every one percent increase in crop returns. The value went up .21 percent for the same increase in livestock returns.

Gabruch’s thesis adviser, Eric Micheels, said strong commodity prices in the past few years have made farmland more desirable.

“That certainly would outweigh that restrictiveness of that policy,” he said.

“You’d still have people that are in the pool that would be available to purchase that farmland. They would be determining the price they would be willing to pay based on the return they could get from farming.”

Gabruch’s thesis did not examine the question of who is buying the land. The province says 80 percent of transactions are still between farmers. karen.briere@producer.com

Thirteen years ago, Ken Ziegler made a case before a legislative committee for more relaxed Saskatchewan farmland ownership laws.

The Saskatoon lawyer said the province needed new farmers and new capital.

“I think we’re suffering under a set of rules that perhaps made sense 30 years ago,” he said in a May 2002 interview after a presentation to the standing committee on agriculture.

As a result of those hearings, Ziegler got half of what he had hoped to see as a lawyer who works extensively in other countries to bring new farmers and agricultural business to Canada.

“We ended up with kind of half a cake,” he said in a recent interview.

The hearings then were to look at the existing rules, which prohibited anyone but Saskatchewan residents from owning farmland, and to possibly open it to other Canadians.

The second question was whether non-Canadians should be able to invest in, own and operate farmland in Saskatchewan.

“That half a cake was the first argument, basically putting us in a position where we opened up the door to investors east and west of us,” Ziegler said. “The second piece never did change.”

Non-Canadians and foreign companies are still limited to 10 acres even after the 2002 changes opened ownership to other Canadians.

Now, a purchase by the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board has stirred up the question again.

Ziegler said he won’t participate in the current farmland ownership review, even though he still works extensively with people from other countries who want to invest in land or farm it themselves.

“We constantly get approached by outside investors from Europe, from the Americas, from Asia, who are

interested in acquiring farmland,” he said.

He also works with Canadian food processing associations on trade trips to those regions.

He said he doubts his opinion would have much impact on the decision-makers, but he has strong thoughts about what is at stake.

For him, the key question is what farming will look like in the years ahead. Who owns the land follows from that.

“Honestly, I don’t know that I’ve met the person yet who can give us their vision of what that looks like,” he said.

“It could be right-sizing. It could be intensive farming. It could be massive corporate farming. It could be all of the above. Depending on how you answer that question also helps drive in my mind the policy decisions that the decision-makers, the politicians, should be making.”

He said someone has to decide which model is desirable.

Ziegler’s law practice is international, and he spends about three months each year in his offices in China and Southeast Asia.

He said Canada needs to be in those markets, and developing a customer base relies on strong relationships.

“The people who control these markets are highly sophisticated, well connected, long established people that we need to develop relationships with and maybe do some bilateral investment,” he said.

As a Saskatchewan resident, he sees how the issue is approached from two sides. The attachment to land is strong, and agriculture drives so many other sectors of the economy.

“There’s a professional side to this, a business side,” he said. “But it’s also who we are, it’s how we were bred and raised. It’s what we’re made up of, in many ways.” karen.briere@producer.com

WEATHER

Pulses survive recent frost

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s pulse crops not only weathered last month’s killing frost but are actually thriving, according to one of the country’s largest lentil processors.

Simpson Seeds is headquartered in Moose Jaw, Sask., which was the epicentre of a widespread frost on the May long weekend that delivered freezing temperatures right across the prairie region.

The thermometer dipped to -7 C on chief executive officer Greg Simpson’s farm during the early morning hours of May 18.

Temperatures remained below zero for at least six hours but after

inspecting some pea and lentil fields the night of May 20, he was confident there was no damage.

“They don’t look like they are impacted or killed by frost,” said Simpson.

His assumption is that if pulse crops survived in the epicentre of the frost event, they should be fine elsewhere throughout the Prairies.

“As a general statement, I think our lentil crop survived and we’re off and running,” he said.

In fact, the warm weather that followed the frost event has been ideal for crop development, with temperatures exceeding 20 C for much of the following week. sean.pratt@producer.com

NEWS HOPPER FLEET

Gov’t rail car fleet to retire

TRANSPORTATION SNAPSHOT: WEEK 41 GRAIN IN COUNTRY ELEVATORS: (million tonnes)

3 2

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The fleet of government-owned grain hopper cars will likely shrink to half its current size in the next 11 years and will be almost completely eliminated in 20 years.

That is one of the highlights contained in the 2014 Government of Canada Hopper Car Fleet Annual Report, in which Transport Canada monitors the size, condition and use of the fleet.

The report said that Ottawa’s current fleet, which consists of 8,400 cars, will soon reach the end of its useful service life. As a result, nearly 3,400 cars will be scrapped for salvage value in 2026 or 2027.

Nearly all the cars that remain will be retired between 2032 and 2035, which means grain shippers and railway carriers will be left to buy replacements or lease cars.

“Due to the age of the original Government of Canada hopper car fleet … the next major groupings of cars to reach the end of their useful service life and be bulk retired will occur between 2026 and 2027, approximately 40 percent of the fleet, (and) between 2032 and 2035, almost all of the remaining fleet,” the report says.

“By 2044, all of the hopper cars in the Government of Canada fleet will be retired and the fleet will no longer exist.”

An operating agreement signed in 2007 requires Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway to maintain capacity by refurbishing cars, up-grading cars to haul heavier loads, improving car cycle times and replacing some of the retired government cars with jumbo cars that have larger capacity.

All federal cars had been refurbished as of Dec. 31, 2014, meaning their useful service life had been extended to the maximum 50 years.

The Transport Canada report also shows: • The federal government received $13 million from the railways last year for using federal hopper cars to haul commodities other than grain.

• There was a six percent decrease in the average number of federal cars that were used to move Canadian grain in regulated corridors as opposed to those that were used in the United States or on networks owned by Canadian short lines.

• The government received $4 million in revenue from 2014 salvage operations involving damaged or destroyed cars. The salvage value of a federal car was estimated at $8,000 in 2014.

The government provides its cars to CN and CP at no cost to move prairie grain to export terminals. In return, the railways manage, maintain and operate the cars on a day-to-day basis and are required to ensure sufficient car supply to meet the transportation needs of shippers.

Officials from Transport Canada declined to be interviewed. brian.cross@producer.com

Those key issues would include: • Improving grain handling and transportation.

• Strengthening Ottawa’s role in agricultural research.

• Expanding Ottawa’s involvement in water management.

• Enhancing farm safety net programs.

• Ensuring Canadian farmers have adequate to an adequate pool of farm labour.

“I think we have to pick five or six things that really matter in how farmers can be successful and then we have to focus on practical solutions to those things,” said Goodale, who served as federal agriculture minister in the early 1990s.

Ottawa needs to reconnect with western farmers and ensure that federal policies reflect the aspirations for prairie producers, he added. “ There’s been a whirlwind of change over the last number of years and the vast majority of it is probably irreversible,” he said.

“From the Liberal point of view, I think we have to work very hard to re-engage and reconnect with individual farmers and farm organizations.”

Although Goodale did not make any formal policy announcements, he said a Liberal government would make grain handling and transportation issues a top priority within the agriculture portfolio.

A Liberal government would conduct a full railway costing review and would consider the creation of a new body to oversee grain logistics.

In the area of agricultural research, he said a Liberal government would strengthen Ottawa’s role in conducting agricultural research and look for ways restore balance between “pure discovery” research and applied research.

He said discovery research has been shortchanged by the Conservative government’s current approach.

RALPH GOODALE SASKATCHEWAN MP

“ R i g h t a c ro s s t h e b o a rd , t h e approach of the federal government has been to pull back from active federal involvement and to shift what money is available … over to applied science in partnership with the private sector,” he said.

“There is clearly an important role for applied science in partnership with the private sector … but you need the other side of it, too. You need pure scientific discovery … to feed the pipeline of new ideas for the long term.”

Goodale was also critical of the Conservatives’ decision to dismantle the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, suggesting the agency was eliminated at a time when management of the country’s water resources has never been more important.

“We used to have the pre-eminent agency in the world dealing with water and soil issues — the PFRA — but it’s been essentially demolished,” Goodale said.

“In theory, its functions have been rolled into some part of Ag Canada, but the reality is that it’s gone altogether.”

Goodale said provincial, municipal, academic and private sector organizations are currently making important decisions on water management and security that affect the national farm economy.

“The federal government has basically taken its marbles … and gone home,” he said.

“This is an area that’s huge, and the federal government needs to be part of the solution here, in collaboration with all the others.” brian.cross@producer.com

SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Manitoba milk heads west

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Manitoba is shipping 75,000 litres of milk to Saskatchewan for processing every day.

It’s a good problem to have, said David Wiens, chair of Dairy Farmers of Manitoba.

“The point is we’re able to produce the milk as is required for our markets,” he said.

“And we hope that processing will come along as well and that there’s going to be some catch-up.”

The challenge began last year when Saputo closed its facility in Winkler, Man., he said.

“Since then, the Canadian requirements for milk has gone up and producers have been able to respond to it,” said Wiens.

“The forages and feeds that were produced last year were of decent quality, which also helps with production.”

Wiens said 950,000 litres of milk are

produced every day in the province.

“Nevertheless, it’s extremely critical that all the milk, to the last litre, finds a home,” said Wiens.

The Manitoba milk is being delivered to Saskatoon for processing, displacing some Saskatchewan milk.

An official with SaskMilk contacted

by The Western Producer was familiar with milk moving further west.

“There’s Saskatchewan milk that’s being moved into Alberta and there’s some Alberta milk that’s being moved into Abbotsford (B.C),” he said.

“There’s this cascading that’s already happening.”

Under the supply management system, transportation costs are shared by all producers in the western milk pool.

“Manitoba is 17 percent of the western milk pool, so we would be covering that cost,” said Wiens. dan.yates@producer.com

Saskatchewan farmers fought against irrigation in 1965 FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR 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.

75 YEARS AGO: JUNE 6, 1940

50 YEARS AGO: JUNE 3, 1965 The front page photo showed how Oscar Jorgenson of Juniata, Sask., used his combine to fill his seeder box in the field during seeding. He had previously sold his truck and needed another way to get the seed to the field.

The Irrigation-Investigation Group of Broderick and Outlook in central Saskatchewan published this open letter to Saskatchewan agriculture minister A.H. McDonald: “We desire to make it clear to you that we do not wish irrigation for our lands and that we do not approve of a survey on our lands for such purpose, which we consider a great waste of public money, including ours. We realize we cannot stop a survey of our lands but we do intend to take all possible steps to prevent our lands being subject to irrigation, which we consider an interference with our civil rights.

Manitoba Pool Elevators expanded significantly when it bought 41 elevators from Western Canada Flour Mills. Twenty-five of the elevators were at locations where the company was not represented, so local associations would be formed “to extend the benefits of co-operative elevator service to the farmers in those districts.” President P.F.B. Bredt said the elevators were purchased at “a reasonable price.”

Federal trade minister J.A. MacKinnon announced the Winnipeg Grain Exchange would remain open, at least until the end of the crop year.

There had been speculation the federal government would close the exchange as part of its response to the grain marketing emergency caused by renewed hostilities in the war in Europe.

Government aid packages were announced for prairie farmers struggling with low grain prices. Saskatchewan said its farmers would receive approximately $5 per cultivated acre, while Alberta announced $4.10 per acre. Meanwhile, Ontario farmers complained that the federal government had reduced its guarantee of the initial price for soft white

CASE AIM COMMAND AND SHARP SHOOTER “The Air Bubble Jet consistently produces droplets that are 200-550 microns in size. Too big to drift $ 25 - too small to run off.”

11

90% LESS DRIFT, LESS RUN OFF, SUPERIOR COVERAGE

Drift occurs when droplets are smaller than 200 microns. Standard sprayer nozzles drift because they produce droplets that are 50-300 micron in size with a large percentage under 200. With a droplet range of 200-550 microns, the Air Bubble Jet has 90% less drift than standard nozzles.

NEW!

8

$ 95

Run off occurs with big droplets - 600 microns and over. Depending on the manufacturer, other low drift nozzles produce droplets that range in size from 250-1000 microns. That is why run off can be a problem. With a droplet size of 200-550 microns, your chemical stays on the plant when applied with the Air Bubble Jet. New Twin Air Bubble Jet. With the twin cap, you can use 2-5 gallon nozzles rather than 1-10 gallon nozzles. The advantage is you get over twice as many droplets per square inch for superior coverage.

Air Bubble jet nozzles operate at 30-45 psi and have an overall range of 20-90 psi.They can be used to apply fungicides, insecticides and herbicides to any crop including potatoes and pulse crops.

AG BORROWING

Farm debt level OK if income steady: FCC

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm Credit Canada’s chief economist says accumulated farm debt levels are manageable as long as incomes can be sustained in their current range.

J.P. Gervais said Canada’s accumulated farm debt, which reached $84 billion last year, is not a cause for concern, but it must be managed wisely.

“Obviously $84 billion at the end of 2014 is a big number … (but) I think they are manageable because of the levels of income that we’re seeing in the marketplace and because of where we’re at in terms of interest rates,” Gervais said.

“But more than interest rates, I think it’s really the level of income that really matters. If we can sustain net cash income in both crops and livestock, I think we’re going to be all right.”

Canada’s farm debt levels have been rising steadily over the past 20 years. In recent years, analysts have suggested that even a modest increase in interest rates could leave many of the country’s largest producers in a precarious financial spot.

Total farm debt levels increased to $50 billion in 2005 from $25 billion in 1995. Since 2005, total farm debt has risen another $34 billion.

The country’s total farm lending portfolio increased by nearly $6 billion between 2013 and 2014 alone, or eight percent, which is the largest single year increase ever recorded.

Gervais downplayed concerns over rising interest rates, saying farm loans are stress tested to assess the borrower’s ability to service debt under a variety of economic circumstances.

However, borrowers should lock in historically low interest rates for long-term financing.

“I would argue that right now is a pretty good time to do some sound risk management and lock in some of the low rates for long-term money that we’re seeing in the marketplace,” Gervais said.

In the shorter term, the Canadian dollar bodes well for export sales.

Debt accumulation during the past few years has occurred during a period of historically strong and in some cases record commodity prices. Farmers used that opportunity to make significant capital purchases such as land acquisitions and machinery purchases.

Gervais said major capital expenditures are expected to slow this year.

Accumulated farm debt will continue to rise, but at a more moderate level.

Accumulated farm debt has increased by an average of 4.5 percent a year over the past 30 years.

“I think in terms of growth, I think we’re going to see some slower growth than what we’ve seen in 2013 and 2014 when it comes to farm debt,” he said. “As long as we’re managing risk and making the investments to become more productive, I think we’ll be all right.” brian.cross@producer.com

Statistics Canada says the amount of containerized grain shipped through the ports of Vancouver and Montreal has nearly tripled since 2001. | PORT METRO VANCOUVER PHOTO GRAIN MOVEMENT

Shipping containers popular for exports Montreal and Vancouver tripled the use of containers for specialty crops and cereals

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The amount of Canadian grain exported in containers continues to grow.

Statistics collected by the Canadian Grain Commission show the amount of containerized grain shipped through ports at Montreal and Vancouver nearly tripled to 3.87 million tonnes last year from 1.38 million tonnes in 2001.

Containerized grain now constitutes close to 10 percent of total grain exports through the two ports, com-

pared to four or five percent 15 years ago.

Grain industry observers have been anticipating an increase in containerized grain exports for some time.

Canadian specialty crop exports have grown, but an increasing number of containers are also being filled with other agricultural crops, such as wheat.

New exporters have entered the market since the western Canadian wheat industry was deregulated in 2012 and are attempting to supply smaller quantities of grain to niche buyers.

A similar trend emerged in Australia after that country took steps to eliminate the Australian Wheat Board’s marketing monoply.

Vancouver and Montreal handle most of Canada’s containerized grain shipments, but not all of them.

A small percentage, normally less than 10 percent, is shipped through other port locations, including Prince Rupert and Halifax.

Authorities at Port Metro Vancouver expect container trade demand, including grain and other products, to double in the next 15 years.

The four existing container termi-

nals at the port of Vancouver handled a record 2.9 million 20 foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2014.

As well, the port plans to build a new container terminal called the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project, which would allow the port of Vancouver to handle an additional 2.4 million TEUs annually.

The project is now undergoing an environmental review and is also subject to a final investment decision. Construction would be complete by the mid-2020s. brian.cross@producer.com

CUSTOMERS IN CHARGE

Retailers cater to demand for local, sustainable, safe food

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The world of food revolves around what customers want.

A demand for locally sourced food that is produced sustainably and has less packaging has forced retailers to change how they do business, said Paul Uys, formerly with Loblaws and now part of the University of Guelph’s Food Institute.

Suppliers are feeling more pressure from retailers, non-governmental organizations and consumers.

“Never before in the 40 years I was involved in food retail are the consumers setting the pace of where we are going,” Uys said at a food innovations conference in Calgary May 27.

Sysco Foods, North America’s largest food distributor, has had similar experiences as customers demand local, source verified products, said

Carmen Gunthorpe, who is part of the company’s Alberta network.

Sysco supplies restaurants, hotels and institutions such as hospitals or nursing homes. Its customers demand high levels of food safety and traceability so that it knows where to start the investigation if a recall happens.

“If we have a recall on spinach that could have gone out to 3,000 customers, it is our responsibility as a company to let each one of those know that they can pull it off the shelf,” she said.

A Loblaws survey of 1,000 customers found that nearly half of the grocery store chain’s shoppers were interested in locally sourced product and healthier choices. One-third wanted less packaging and waste reduction, while one-quarter said they wanted sustainable seafood, environmentally friendly foods,

organic and were concerned about animal welfare.

Retailers are starting to look at the entire food chain, including back to the farm, and companies are involved in sustainable sourcing programs for seafood, beef, palm oil, cocoa, coffee and tea.

Customers are also making their preferences known in other ways.

“Canadians are focused on discounts,” Uys said.

“They want to pay next to nothing for everyday products, but when you get into lifestyle products, we are prepared to pay a premium.”

More consumers are moving toward “free from” products because they do not want artificial flavours, colours or antibiotics in their food.

Loblaws’ organic product line has been successful everywhere in the store but the meat case. Instead, the company introduced beef and pork containing no added hormones or antibiotics.

A picture of a farmer on a package of beef or pork can be successful because customers think the producer is trustworthy. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

BIOTECHNOLOGY

Official disputes GM critic’s claim on herbicide use CropLife Canada argues that genetically modified crops have actually reduced the need for multiple applications

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The proliferation of genetically modified crops has led to increased herbicide use, according to the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.

The group says Canadian farmers bought 50.3 million kilograms of herbicides in 2011 compared to 21.9 million kg in 1994, the year before GM crops were commercialized.

That is a 130 percent increase in herbicide sales over that period.

The data comes from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization and Health Canada. No data has been published since 2011.

“There is a strong correlation between the expansion of GM herbicide-tolerant crop area and the increased use of herbicides in Canada,” said CBAN co-ordinator Lucy Sharratt.

Her conclusion is at odds with the message biotechnology proponents have been circulating for years.

For instance, in its 2014 annual report on the status of GM crop commercialization, the International Service for the Acquisition of AgriBiotech Applications said the adoption of GM crops has reduced global pesticide use by 37 percent over the past 20 years.

LUCY SHARRATT CANADIAN BIOTECHNOLOGY ACTION NETWORK

As well, a new study by PG Economics Ltd. said biotechnology has reduced pesticide spraying by 550 million kg, or 8.6 percent, between 1996 and 2013.

Sharratt said the Canadian data is pretty clear and noted that the more than doubling of herbicide use can’t be blamed on increased cropland.

Total land under cultivation in Canada increased one percent between 1995 and 2011.

“The explanation for the increase of herbicides looks to be pesticide use intensity rather than increased cropland,” she said.

Ian Affleck, managing director of science and regulatory affairs for biotechnology with CropLife Canada, said it is impossible to make a direct link between increased herbicide use and the advent of GM crops.

Annual herbicide use depends on weather, crop prices and what were the popular crop choices for that year.

“Overall, the introduction of herbicide tolerant traits has made controlling weed pests on farm much easier

for the farmer, which allows them to be much more efficient in producing their crops,” he said.

Affleck acknowledged that herbicide tolerant crops could increase herbicide use by replacing tillage with an application of glyphosate, but that’s not a bad thing for the environment.

“These herbicides are approved as safe by Health Canada, and glyphosate specifically is one of the safest herbicides that we’ve seen come on the market,” he said.

GM crops have reduced soil and wind erosion while increasing water retention by facilitating the increased adoption of no till seeding systems, he added.

Less is more Affleck said it could also be argued that GM crops have reduced herbicide use because farmers used to rely on multiple herbicides. They now only need one to do the job in many instances, which means reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

“They can manage in one pass over their field what may have taken them multiple passes in the past,” he said.

Sharratt said that may have been the case in the past but not since the development of herbicide tolerant weeds. “ Th o s e w e e d s, i n p a r t i c u l a r, ramped up the use of herbicides,” she said.

CBAN’s report, Are GM Crops Better for the Environment?, said the widespread adoption of herbicide tolerant crops has driven up the use of glyphosate, which has resulted in the emergence of glyphosate resistant weeds.

There are five species of glyphosate-resistant weeds in Canada.

Affleck said GM crops can’t be solely blamed for the development of herbicide resistant weeds. He believes it would have happened anyway.

“Pests will always strive to find a way to get around our methods of managing them,” he said.

It’s why farmers need to use integrated pest management strategies on their farms, which incorporate GM crops, pesticides, good farming practices and sustainable rotations.

Sharratt worries that glyphosate resistant weeds have led to the development and regulatory approval of dicamba and 2,4-D tolerant crops, which she fears will lead to even more herbicide use.

She believes that is a bad thing for the environment, noting that North America has lost 90 percent of its Monarch butterfly population over the past 20 years because of the destruction of milkweed habitat caused by glyphosate use on GM corn in the United States. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARM CASH RECEIPTS

Livestock income up, crops decline

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian farm incomes continued their upward trend last year, according to figures from Statistics Canada.

Total farm cash receipts, including income from crops, livestock and direct payment programs, reached a record $57.5 billion, up nearly $2.5 billion from the previous year.

However, the income gains were primarily the result of higher prices for cattle and livestock and not from the sale of crops.

Cash receipts from the sale of livestock and livestock products rose more than $4 billion in 2014 to $25.6 billion.

By contrast, cash receipts from the sale of agricultural crops declined by nearly $1 billion, falling to $29.7 billion from $30.6 billion.

Statistics Canada’s numbers show that prairie farmers saw the largest gains.

Alberta farm incomes were up 9.1 percent to 12.9 billion, Saskatchewan farm incomes rose eight percent to $13.1 billion and Manitoba’s total farm cash receipts were listed at $5.9 billion, up from 2.7 percent from 2013.

economist with Farm Credit Canada, said the overall revenue picture in the Canadian agriculture sector looks good despite a slight reduction in crop income.

“We’ll have to wait and see what crops are like and so on, but 2015 to me would be a fairly decent year,” he said. “I don’t think we should expect the record year that we had in 2014 to repeat, but 2015 is shaping up to be pretty decent.”

Gervais said there are signals that Canadian farmers, particularly in the West, are starting to spend more carefully.

The country’s producers added nearly $6 billion worth of debt last

year, pushing overall farm debt to $84 billion.

However, signals from the farm retail, farm equipment and farmland real estate markets suggest that producers are budgeting more carefully when it comes to farm input purchases and major capital investments.

Revenue figures from the first quarter of 2015 appear to support Gervais’ view that 2015 will be a solid year for farm cash receipts, though perhaps not a record one.

Cash receipts in the first quarter of 2015 totalled $14.8 billion, up 4.5 percent over the first quarter of 2014. brian.cross@producer.com

Shareholders at Western Central Road & Rail in Eston, Sask., have approved the sale of their company to Alliance Pulse Processors Inc. WCRR officials say the proposed sale, first announced in April, received overwhelming approval from shareholders during a special meeting held May 28 in Eston.

Under the deal, Alliance will acquire WCRR’s assets, including five modern producer car loading sites and a subsidiary marketing arm, Goals Marketing Inc. The producer car loading facilities, all in Saskatchewan, are located at Eston, Laporte, Lucky Lake, Beechy

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Ontario has eliminated more than half of its 80 porcine epidemic diarrhea cases in its hog barns, and new cases have slowed to a trickle.

The last incident of infection in Ontario was confirmed May 13 in a farrow to finish operation in Lambton County. Only one case was confirmed in April and two in March.

The province was hardest hit by the deadly virus.

Manitoba has also been successful in cleaning up its five infected sites, in part because no pigs from infected operations were processed in Canadian plants, said Alberta swine veterinarian Dr. Dawn Magrath.

“All of the pigs from the positive sites there did not enter Canadian plants,” she said. “All those pigs moved south to the States, where they’ve already had PED anyway.

They did a really good job of managing, containing that disease to prevent contaminating plants here in Canada. So hats off to them.”

Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia remain free of the disease, which is almost always fatal to young piglets.

It was first recognized in the United States in 2013, where it has since killed millions of piglets.

It was first found in Canada last year, and more than 100 cases have been confirmed.

Magrath told a May 28 Alberta Pork meeting that transport of the disease in livestock trailers remains one of the biggest risks to Canadian producers.

A federal regulation requiring livestock trucks to be washed before entering Canada from the United States will go into effect this month, but that won’t eliminate all risk.

“One of the things that I’ve found still is happening a lot is transport biosecurity is still probably one of the weakest areas of our industry,” she said. “It’s a tough one to get on top of, but there’s still people out there doing probably not as good a job as they could be, sanitation wise.”

Trucks need to be washed with hot water, disinfected and dried to eliminate virus spread, but trailers have many nooks and crannies and the process is time consuming.

Magrath said some hog producers have begun to haul their own pigs, rather than contracting the job, so they can manage their own cleaning and disinfection.

She warned Alberta producers against complacency now that they’ve dodged the virus for so long.

Tests at various high-traffic areas show occasional positive samples of the virus, although no pigs have been infected. That means PED is present and remains a threat.

The virus continues to spread in the U.S., and every major hog producing state has had it. A vaccination program has helped U.S. producers deal with it in their herds.

“The newer generation vaccines are not quite the same as what we were dealing with initially,” said Magrath. “There are some improvements there, and I think it’s something again that we need to look at if we get the disease more widespread in Western Canada.”

Magrath also said a third strain of

and Dinsmore.

Each site has 3,000 tonnes of bin storage, which is enough to load 30 rail cars, and loading capacity of 540 tonnes an hour.

WCRR said in a May 28 news release that the $22 million deal was expected to close June 2, depending on certain terms and conditions.

The loading sites are serviced by Big Sky Rail, and loaded cars are shipped to export position on the Canadian National Railway’s network.

“I believe this is a fitting end to the dynamic WCRR story,” said Rob Lobdell, the company’s outgoing president. “WCRR shareholders will receive strong value for their shares (and) the infrastructure that we worked so hard to build and preserve

will continue, on a long-term basis, to be fully utilized by AGT to provide local marketing and delivery opportunities for area producers.”

Lobdell said it is fitting that WCRR’s assets, which were built and financed by farmers, are being sold to a Saskatchewan company that has become such a global success story.

Alliance is a subsidiary of AGT Food and Ingredients.

Revenue from the sale will be distributed to the WCRR’s 1,900 shareholders, who are primarily farmers.

It is estimated that shareholders will receive $310 to $340 per share. In the initial share offering, most shares were purchased for $100 to $120 a share. brian.cross@producer.com

SPRAYING

Sprayer cleanup not to be ignored Chemicals can build up in the sprayer and cause problems for later operations if they are not properly cleaned out

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

A spray day doesn’t end when the farmer parks the rig.

Producers who use Group 2 products that are formulated as a dry fine ground powder have one more important task when they park the sprayer: cleanup.

The issue is compounded if they mix Group 2 dry products with other products that have an oily adjunct, says Clark Brenzil, weed specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture.

“That’s the concern because a lot of glyphosates have an adjuvant called tallowamine,” said Brenzil.

Tallow is synonymous with fat, and while tallowamines are not technically classified as oils, they do have the same properties as oils when they’re inside a sprayer.

“They don’t make the glyphosate itself stick badly enough to the insides of your sprayer to be a problem, but they do allow a buildup of Group 2 products,” he said.

These Group 2 chemicals are active at such low concentrations that they’ll cause crop damage later if not completely purged from the spraying system.

Proper clean out is also important during preseeding burnoff. “ There’s no crop involved, so farmers feel they can spray lots of acres with some of these combinations of products and not clean their tanks out through the whole burnoff season. That’s a wrong assumption.”

Brenzil said a daily clean out during the glyphosate season is every bit important as the daily clean out during the growing season.

He said a common crop damage situation occurs when the weather and soil temperature become conducive to seeding near the end of burn-off spraying. The sprayer is quickly parked while all human resources are channeled into putting a crop in the ground.

However, residual burn-off chemicals in the sprayer are strong enough to do considerable damage when it comes time to do in-crop spraying,

“The longer the sprayer sits, the more opportunity there is for deposits to form in the tank and the plumbing. Then it’s time to spray again, so they’ll top up the tank and go spraying,” he said.

“Over time, you get a pretty significant buildup. Your glyphosate adjuvants are not extremely oily, but they are oily enough to form a residue.”

There’s evidence that the residues bond to plastic and rubber surfaces, but Brenzil said there’s no way to completely eliminate plastic and

rubber from the sprayer.

“You’ll often hear stainless steel tanks promoted by sprayer manufacturers because it reduces the amount of adherence to the tank,” he said.

“That’s fine, but it doesn’t address the bigger problem, which is the

plumbing of the sprayer.”

Stainless steel cleans faster and more thoroughly than poly products, so it should be installed when replacing components.

However, stainless does not eliminate the necessity of doing a total clean out, especially the boom components.

Brenzil said the entire tank and plumbing system should be thoroughly cleaned ever y time the machine is shut down longer than it takes for a normal fill for water or fuel.

“You should clean your sprayer as often as you clean yourself. If you

clean the sprayer daily, it’s not such a major task,” he said.

“There are some herbicides that actually recommend you clean the sprayer after every 1,000 acres or s o. G ro u p 1 h e r b i c i d e s a re a n example of that because they have fairly oily adjuvants that go with them.”

He said an effective way to get good results is to let the sprayer soak overnight. Empty the tank and then run clean water through the sprayer to rinse out any loose residues.

Âť CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Some producers who have been running glyphosate mixed with Group 2 herbicides think they can run more glyphosate through the tank for clean out, but Brenzil said it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work that way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take the tank to about one-third full, then add the appropriate cleaning substance thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specific to whatever herbicide youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been spraying,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have that oily film, ammonia has a good reputation in the kitchen as a grease cutter, but the oily film adhering to the tank and plumbing may be more than ammonia can handle. In that case, a soapy detergent might also be a good option to include in the tank as well. Some of the commercial tank cleaners like Clean Out or All Clear have the

ammonia to cut the oily film and raise the pH.â&#x20AC;?

The detergent mix should be circulated through the plumbing. Run some of it out through the boom and through the nozzles and then let it set overnight to work away at the residual buildups in the system. Drain it out the next morning, and put a fresh rinse through the plumbing, booms and nozzles. The farmer is then set to go with clean equipment.

Brenzil said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to prevent a product from settling and sticking to the bottom of the tank.

Changing from one product to another is the time to do a thorough clean out. Remove all screens, nozzles and the main screen from the bottom.

Put it all in a five gallon bucket with hot soapy water and scrub it well until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly clean.

He said the main screen at the bottom of the tank should be checked every few days, but producers often ignore it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in an awkward location.

As well, some products require a larger screen size in the main screen and nozzle screens.

Brenzil said obvious functional problems will occur if a sprayer reaches the point where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much residual buildup that normal cleaning wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do the trick. This happens when owners rely only on ammonia to take care of the oily buildup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to have the entire system sitting overnight with ammonia and the correct detergent soaking all components,â&#x20AC;? he said.

DuPont agronomist Doug Fehr said the tank is relatively easy to keep clean, but the boom has more nooks and crannies, which allow deposits to take hold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people refer to it simply as tank clean out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I prefer to call it sprayer clean out, just to emphasize that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to include the boom and all the screens, filters, nozzles and fittings.â&#x20AC;?

Fehr encouraged producers to charge the entire system with detergent and ammonia and run it through the boom for a few minutes before letting it sit overnight. This gives the detergents a chance to work away at the deposits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To do a really good job of cleaning the boom, the other thing you need is to install the Hyproâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Express Nozzle Body End Caps at the ends of each boom section,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These end caps let you flush all the

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | JUNE 4, 2015

product residues from those dead spaces at the end of each section. The other side benefit is these end caps bleed air from the lines on the go as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spraying.â&#x20AC;?

Fehr knows that seeding sometimes interrupts spraying and the sprayer might sit for a week or longer as the residues inside grow harder.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bad situation nobody likes to face. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that happens, you need all the regular products like ammonia plus the detergents that are designed for those specific herbicides, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always do the job,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we flush it out and let it soak in detergent a couple times, plus add laundry or dish detergents to cut into the oil and residue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the older herbicides we had years ago, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also use things like vinegar and bleach, but those cleaning agents wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything to touch the new generations of herbi-

cides we have today. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say probably three quarters of the liquid-based herbicides we have today are oily based products.â&#x20AC;?

Agrimetrix spray specialist Tom Wolf said ammonia is required to raise the pH, which improves the detergentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cleaning ability.

For example, tank mixing a burnoff concoction of glyphosate and Sulfonylurea (SU) Group 2 automatically creates a cleaning challenge.

The acidic glyphosate lowers the pH to about five, and the SU Group 2 chemicals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easily dissolve in water with such low pH. Ammonia solves the problem by raising the pH enough to make the SU products soluble.

WEED OF THE WEEK: CLEAVERS

BY MICHAEL RAINE AND THOM WEIR

C

leavers are something many producers would like to chop from their fields.

The twisting and ropy vine-like weeds tangle through the crop, using up nutrients, water and farmers’ patience at harvest time.

Galium aparine and Galium spurium, also known as false cleavers, are designated noxious under the Weed Control Act. False cleavers have a notch at the tip of the leaf.

Both species are equally troublesome and difficult to control.

The weed is also known as white hedge, cleaver-wort, cathweed, scarth-grass and grip-grass.

Cleavers grow as annuals or winter annuals and are a problem in annual crops, particularly canola. If left to maturity, they can produce more than 3,500 seeds.

They are difficult to separate from canola seed because of their similar shape and size.

It is designated as a Class 2, primary noxious weed under the Canada Seeds Act, and there is no tolerance limit for it in all grades of pedigreed seed, whether foundation, registered or certified for cereals, forage crops and oilseeds.

Seed can remain viable for up to three years in dry soil.

Cleavers have weak, four-sided stems covered with prickly hairs.

Shoes and pant legs will be entwined with cleaver plants after walking

through a field with the weed.

The plant can grow up to two metres in length.

They usually show up in moist areas of the field, but don’t like wet feet.

The tiny, greenish-white flowers are inconspicuous.

The weed can be difficult to control in a cool spring because it can be a spring-germinating annual or a winter annual and grows well in cool conditions.

As a result, the weather may be cool and even though little else is growing, the window for effective cleavers

control could be closed by the time producers burn off ahead of seeding or carry out post emergent applications.

The most effective way to control the weed is to spray early when it still has two whorls.

Products are available to deal with the pest, depending on the crops.

Products containing fluoxypyr provide the broadest range of control in cereals.

Growers and agronomists should be vigilant when observing product failure during cleaver control. There have been more reports of Group 2

resistant biotypes, particularly in northeastern Saskatchewan. In Alberta, Group 4 and combination 2 and 4 resistance has shown up.

Hugh Beckie of Agriculture Canada predicts that cleavers are near the top of the list for developing glyphosate resistance.

Its tricky leaf surface makes it tough to spray, so higher pressures and water rates are required to ensure proper coverage.

Producers can increase the rate of glyphosate to a half or even .67 litres per acre when controlling over-wintering cleavers.

All the herbicides listed for controlling cleavers are more effective when applied early.

Caution should be observed when using products containing 2,4-D, such as Frontline 2,4-D, Attain and Retain, because crop staging restrictions must be observed to avoid crop injury. They should never be used on oats.

Focus, a Group 15 herbicide, might in the near future have a role in controlling cleavers. Its active ingredient is pyroxasulfone, which is registered for corn and soybeans.

FMC Corp. has applied for registration on spring wheat, winter wheat and lentils and will potentially add field peas, chickpeas, potatoes, carrots, fababeans and sunflowers.

The label is aimed mainly at grassy weeds and is narrow for broadleafs.

However, the company has applied for cleavers, stinkweed, lamb’s quarters, kochia and wild buckwheat.

Focus is surface applied before planting or just afterward. Rainfall incorporates and activates it. It is not recommended on soil with more than seven percent organic matter.

PRODUCTIVITY BEATS SPEED

Spraying: race with the calendar is won in pit lane SPRAY MATTERS

TOM WOLF & JASON DEVEAU

T

iming trumps most things in crop protection.

A great spray applied at the wrong time isn’t nearly as valuable as a mediocre spray at the right time.

So how do we improve our ability to get things done at the right time?

We often try to win races by driving faster, but driving fast can lead to more drift and less uniform deposition.

Driving slower can be viewed as a sort of insurance policy. You may not notice the benefits right away, but on days when that extra bit of performance is required, you’re covered.

It turns out that productivity beats speed. We recently built a model to capture all the elements of a normal spray operation that affect timeliness: • travel speed • boom width • tank size • water volume • field length • number of headlands • turning speed • fill time We first identified a reasonable base condition, which for the sprayer was a travel speed of 14 m.p.h., a 90 foot boom, an 800 gallon tank, a 10 gallon per acre water volume and a 20 minute fill time.

We set up a typical field situation, spraying a half-mile run on a quarter section with two sprayed headlands and a turning speed of 8 m.p.h. We changed one factor at a time to determine its relative importance.

Before we discuss the results, let’s make it clear that we’re not recommending certain factors just because changing them improved productivity. For example, adequate water volume remains an important input that improves coverage and permits the use of low-drift sprays. Larger tanks increase compaction and take more power.

For the base condition, the sprayer spent 15 percent of its driving time turning and 37 percent of its on-fieldtime stationary while it reloaded.

Forty-eight percent of every hour on the field was spent spraying for an average productivity of 82 acres per hour.

Increasing to 18 m.p.h. increased average productivity to 93 acres per hour, but that increased the proportion of time spent turning and loading, resulting in 40 percent of the field time spent spraying.

Decreasing the loading time from 20 to 10 minutes reduced the amount of field time spent stationary to 23 percent, covering 100 acres per hour at 14 m.p.h. Sixty-two percent of onfield time was now spent spraying.

Boom width was important. A 33 percent increase in boom width from 90 to 120 feet boosted productivity to 94 acres per hour, close to the same result as increasing the travel speed to 18 m.p.h. Similar side effects occurred: more time turning and a greater proportion of time filling.

Boom width seems to have some

room for growth. European countries tend to use wider booms than we do in Canada and with GPS guidance and large fields, we have excellent conditions for their implementation.

Using less water and larger tanks increased productivity by decreasing the fill frequency.

Decreasing water volume to five from 10 gallons per acre increased productivity to 100 acres per hour because it decreased the proportion of time the sprayer was stopped to 23 percent from 37. Increasing from an 800 to a 1,200 gallon tank increased productivity to 94 acres per hour and decreased filling time to 28 percent.

Taken together, a sprayer with a 120 foot boom and a 1,200 gallon tank

that applied 10 gallons and filled in 10 minutes had an average productivity of 132 acres per hour at 14 m.p.h.

If you can string two quarters together and drive a whole mile before turning, that number rises to 145 acres per hour.

Other operating efficiencies can be found as well: • Prepare for the job by reviewing the product label in advance, noting the correct mixing order.

• Keep extra nozzles, clamps and nozzle bodies in the cab.

• Don’t clean plugged nozzles, replace them.

• Use low-drift nozzles so an increase in wind doesn’t shut you down.

• Ensure all the products needed are on the tender truck, such as pesticide, adjuvant, tank cleaner and anti-foamer.

• Consider switching to three inch plumbing, which makes pump rates of 300 to 400 gallons per minute possible.

• Make sure your inductor won’t be the limiting factor. For example, product pumps can be awfully slow when the product is cold. It might be worthwhile exploring a venturi system.

Speeding up the fill process is a good idea, but be careful with certain products. Dry materials such as the sulfonyl ureas (Refine, Express SG) and some fungicides (Astound)

require time to hydrate in water so that they mix properly.

Consider time spent cleaning the sprayer.

So, the quicker we can spray, while ensuring a quality job, the more effective crop protection practices will be. We encourage you to use our productivity calculator to determine your best configuration. You can find it and lots of other sprayer-related resources on www.sprayers101.com.

AGRICULTURE OUTLOOK

No farm financial crisis on horizon: economist FCC official expects crop prices to remain steady but advises producers to lock in long-term borrowing rates

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

GUELPH, Ont. — Predictions of doom and gloom in the agricultural sector made a few months ago were most likely overblown, according to Farm Credit Canada’s Chief Agricultural Economist.

A more likely scenario for 2015 is a “soft landing,” Jean-Philippe Gervais said. Neither is it likely that farmland prices will plummet, though softening in some regions is possible.

“Are we headed for another farm financial crisis? No, we’re not.”

A farmer who heard the remarks here on May 26 questioned Gervais’s optimism. Charts Gervais displayed suggested farm net income and crop prices will remain relatively strong, at least for this year.

Bob Buckhan, who operates a 250 acre, cash crop and cattle farm near

Rodney, Ont., asked Gervais if the FCC also plugged lower numbers, like $9.50 soybeans and $3.50 corn, into their modeling.

“What I heard him say is that we can all gather around the fire and sing

Kumbaya,” Buchan said.

Gervais said lower prices are always a possibility.

Other unexpected challenges could also put a damper on agricul-

ture fortunes, including substantially higher interest rates. Gervais said a three percent increase in rates in a 12 month period would be troublesome, but feels increases are far more likely to be gradual.

Ken Poon and Greg Pate, both with the Institute for the Advanced Study for Food and Agricultural Policy at the University of Guelph, talked about the impact in Ontario of more modest rate increases. Their modeling employed one percent and three percent over increases over two years.

Most Ontario farmers would be able to carry those increases. Of far greater concern would be changes in net farm income, Poon and Pate said.

That said, debt levels continue to rise. The greatest debt lies with the largest farms but these may be the most able to service that debt.

It’s also high among dairy and poultry producers in Ontario.

GREG PATE INSTITUTE FOR THE ADVANCED STUDY FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL POLICY

“It’s true they have a lot of debt but their net income is quite good,” Poon said.

The greenhouse sector has greatest debt for any Ontario sector with interest expenses averaging $250,000 in 2013.

The sector has been expanding dramatically and that’s expected to continue. The operations tend to be large in terms of cash flow and often have scores of employees but the

number of operations is small compared to other sectors.

Average greenhouse net income was slightly in the red in 2014 and is expected to worsen this year, according to Poon and Pate’s numbers.

Farm debt has been steadily climbing, from less than $50 billion in 2004 to an estimated $82 billion this year.

Gervais said efficiency is important to the industry but the level of efficiency among producers varies widely.

He suggested producers may wish to take advantage of the current low cost of long-term borrowing and not assume rates will stay at current levels forever.

“The bottom line is you have a great opportunity to lock-in long term money,” he said.

U.S. proposes temporary pesticide-free zones for bees Honeybee losses hit a record high in 2014-15 (Reuters) — U.S. environmental regulators on May 28 proposed a rule that would create temporary pesticide-free zones to protect commercial honeybees, which are critical to food production and have been dying off at alarming rates.

The restrictions would cover times when specific plants are in bloom and when commercial honeybees are being moved through certain areas, EPA officials said.

Honeybees are needed to pollinate plants that produce a quarter of the food consumed by Americans and beekeepers travel around the country with managed hives to help the process.

The rule includes a class of insecticides knowns as neonicotinoids, which some have blamed for the demise of honeybee colonies.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that honeybees had disappeared at a staggering rate over the last year.

Losses of managed honeybee colonies hit 42.1 percent from April 2014 through April 2015, up from 34.2 percent for 2013-14 and the secondhighest annual loss to date, according to the USDA. Beekeepers, environmental groups and some scientists say neonicotinoids, or neonics — used on crops such as corn as well as on plants used in lawns and gardens — are harming the bees.

But Bayer, Syngenta and other agrichemical companies that sell neonic products say mite infestations and other factors are the cause.

The U.S. White House has formed a task force to study the issue, and the EPA has been studying the effects of neonics on bees.

HOG MARKET

Pork council ponders price reporting

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The price Canadian hog producers get for their product depends largely upon the American market, but plans are afoot to develop a Canadian price for a Canadian product for Canadian consumers.

Alberta Pork chair Frank Novak, who also sits on the Canadian Pork Council executive, said such a plan would involve pricing based on the pork cutout, which would require a system of mandatory price reporting similar to that in the United States.

“We’re talking about trying to figure out a way to isolate ourselves from some of that U.S. activity, so that we’re not directly affected every time there’s a strike in the U.S. or directly affected by something else,” Novak told Lethbridge area pork producers May 28.

Program touts domestic pork Canada Pork campaign aims to reduce exports by promoting quality and providing food safety assurances

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

OTTAWA — One-third of all pork consumed in Canada is imported and the industry has created a program to encourage Canadians to eat domestic pork.

Canadian farmers produce two million tonnes of pork a year, of which 1.15 million tonnes were exported in 2014. Another 193,400 tonnes were imported, mostly from the United States.

“Canada exports pork to 125 different countries around the world. We are a free trade country, so we always have some product coming in to our country, although we are a significant producer of pork,” said Rick Bergmann, chair of the Canadian Pork Council.

“If there is a processor who has a deal or a contract to supply a certain cut of pork to a different country, that al-most creates a bit of a void in Canada, so that is when products enter our country.”

An ambitious campaign called

Canada Pork was developed last year to encourage Canadians to try more home grown product.

The new entity is the national market development arm of Canada Pork International and is supported by all the major packers and producers outside Quebec.

It has a $500,000 budget for 2015-16 and is working to displace imports, add more value per carcass and encourage more Canadian consumption of domestic pork, said Derrick Ash of Canada Pork International.

Canada exports 70 percent of its production as live hogs and meat.

The consequences could be disastrous if borders closed for any reason.

“We could not possibly consume the amount of pork available on the domestic market,” he told the Canadian Meat Council’s annual meeting in Ottawa in May. Provincial organizations produce good marketing programs, but domestic consumption is still falling, said Ash. Annual per capita pork consumption is about 21 kg, down from about

30 kg in the late 1990s.

Canada Pork has introduced the Verified Canadian Pork brand to help increase consumer awareness and confidence in domestic product. It displays a red maple leaf and is intended for the exclusive use of supporting packer funders. Promoters hope the logo will catch the eye of Canadian shoppers, who may not realize they are buying imported meat.

The brand is backed up by the pork quality assurance program, which covers food safety, animal care, hazard analysis critical control point standards and traceability.

About 3,000 new meat charts have been distributed to help promote the domestic product. They display pork cuts including the under-used ones.

As well, brochures describing new merchandising ideas introduce a concept called “pork stars.” They feature innovative ideas for using all primal cuts, including the shoulder, belly, tenderloin, leg and collar butt. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PORK EXPORTS VERSUS IMPORTS Canada accounts for 20 percent of international pork exports to 130 countries — earning $3.7 billion in revenue.

“The kind of model we’re talking about right now is really pricing our pigs out of the meat that is produced from our pigs, pricing off the cutout.”

Such a plan would need to be accepted by the entire pork value chain, from producers to processors through to retailers and consumers.

Meetings have been held to discuss the idea, and Novak said a substantial number of producers think it is worth pursuing.

“This isn’t something that’s never been done before. There’s already a certain percentage of pigs in the U.S. that are priced exactly this way,” said Novak in a later interview.

“Every day, there’s a report that comes out that says out of all these thousands of car loads of pork that were sold, here’s how it all translates down to the value of a carcass.”

Payments can then be made based on a certain percentage of that carcass value.

Novak acknowledged that such a system would be a significant change, but it could also wrest some market share from American producers who sell pork into Canada.

“It would be really nice if we could find some way to sort of isolate ourselves at least a little bit from some of the craziness that goes in other places that comes directly home to us because of the way we price our pigs here.”

Discussions are in the early stages.

Mandatory price reporting would require federal legislation to implement. barb.glen@producer.com

REVOLUTION IN ANIMAL PRODUCTION

SUSTAINABLE BEEF

Old guard must adjust to changes in cattle sector

Pilot projects seek to define sustainability framework for beef

Improving animal welfare, sustainability essential

Round table gathering input on environmentally and economically sound agricultural practices

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

MERRITT, B.C. — Social, economic and environmental responsibilities are all necessary to support the goals of sustainability.

Many farmers and ranchers can hold up the environmental pillar, but they face social and economic challenges.

Global cattle numbers are declining nearly as fast as the number of people raising them. Not only are there fewer farmers, but they are part of the grey haired generation.

The average age of beef producers is 60 years old or more, said Murray Jelinski, Alberta chair in beef cattle health and production medicine at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinar y Medicine.

The 2011 Statistics Canada census found that 62 percent of producers were 50 or older and 31 percent were 60 or older. Four percent were younger than 31.

“This isn’t unique to you guys. This is the population of most westernized countries in the world,” Jelinski said at the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting held in Merritt May 21-23.

This demographic shift is the result of the baby boom, in which those born after 1946 are now moving toward retirement and fewer are following in their parents’ footsteps on farms and ranches.

Only one farmer is entering the industry for every seven who are retiring.

“The people that own most of the cattle are in that 50- to 65-years-old range. I think it is because the younger people cannot afford to get in,” he said.

The high price of cows and land places more obstacles in their way, which accelerates consolidation.

People sell at the top of the market and move on.

Similar findings were reported in a Wyoming study published in the Rangelands journal. It predicted no Wyoming ranchers younger than 3 5 w o u l d b e l e f t by 2 0 3 3 . T h e authors concluded similar trends are occurring throughout the United States.

“The industry is getting heavily weighted towards older producers.

The sheer numbers of it I find surprising,” Jelinski said.

“For the cow-calf industry, you are just on the cusp of profound change.”

It isn’t the only revolution facing cattle producers. As well, corporations such as McDonalds, Walmart and Tim Hortons are dictating animal production practices to an industry rooted in tradition.

These companies are demanding no gestation crates for sows, no cages for laying hens and no added hormones or antibiotics for beef,

pork and poultry.

“They are already saying to the industry, you better be aware that we may not want animals in the future that haven’t had pain control for dehorning or castration. How long do you think that’s going to be before these become mandatory?” Jelinski said.

“Keep in mind Walmart is one of the biggest suppliers of meat in the U.S.” Producers are going to have to give their customers what they want, even though each sector is disconnected.

A cow-calf operator may not have much influence on what a packer wants, but that does not preclude more record keeping on basic practices.

Reynold Bergen of the Beef Cattle Research Council said more participation is needed in the verified beef production program, in which producers document their activities to fit the new demands for improved animal health, welfare and environmental stewardship.

These requirements may feel like an imposition, but they come at time when beef demand and prices have never been higher.

“Consumers around the world are scouring and trying to find and get our product,” said agriculture economist Brett Stuart of the analysis firm Global Agritrends in Denver, Colorado.

“It is a great spot to be in.”

Beef production has not increased for nine years, while pork and broiler production have grown every year since 2006.

“In those eight years, when we had no growth in beef, we added 680 million people to the planet with $14 trillion in combined global income,” he said.

By 2023, the world will need another 27 million tonnes of poultry, 10.5 million more tonnes of pork and another nine million tonnes of beef.

“The market is paying you to produce more beef. Take advantage of that,” he said.

Five billion people will be considered middle class by 2020. Billions will need conventionally produced food that is reasonably priced. A few million will want organic.

“Produce whatever makes you the most money,” Stuart said.

“If someone says they want organic beef or whatever and it makes you money, go for it.”

This added production will have to be done sustainably, and producers need to get ahead of the requirements or risk facing legislation.

“Can you adopt an animal welfare standard and a sustainability standard, and if not, one is going to be defined for you,” he said. “Most of you are doing 90 percent of it now. It is just a matter of being willing to accept an audit, which none of us like.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

We will be able to come up with what a sustainable beef platform will look like very shortly. I hope we are the first to say we have sustainable beef here in Canada.

CHERIE COPITHORNE-BARNES

MERRITT, B.C. — Living next to an elephant influences every action on Cherie Copithorne-Barnes’ ranch west of Calgary.

“Living 20 miles from a million people and the Trans-Canada going by to the tune of 100,000 cars on the weekend, I am under the magnifying glass all the time. It doesn’t matter if it is animals or the environment,” she said.

The other elephant pressuring ranchers is the corporate world questioning what is going on within the beef production sector.

Copithorne-Barnes chairs the Canadian round table for sustainable beef, which is charged with developing a verified sustainable beef scheme that is environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable.

“In theory it sounds really simple, but there are 1,000 different ways to define how you or I can become

ALBERTA RANCHER

environmentally or economically sound,” she said at the British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association annual meeting held in Merritt from May 21-23.

The round table’s 40 members include representatives from beef organizations, processors, retailers and non-governmental organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund.

Part of their task is a McDonald’s Canada project to create a sustainable beef program. A major part is validating what is done on the farm.

“All of us ranchers have that intrinsic understanding of the environment, but do we really know how to measure?” she said.

Pilot projects with 37 indicators of sustainability are underway to test the program.

“We will be able to come up with what a sustainable beef platform will look like very shortly,” she said.

A 70-member sustainability consortium is developing a list of what it expects from suppliers. Members include corporations like Walmart, Campbell’s, Coca Cola, General Mills and Kelloggs.

Copithorne-Barnes described the group as well intentioned, but its main flaw is that no producers were invited to join.

Major beef producing countries such as Brazil, New Zealand and Ireland are also building sustainability frameworks.

“I hope we are the first to say we have sustainable beef here in Canada,” she said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Horse owners should take the risk of equine infectious anemia seriously, says a veterinary researcher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a horse is infected, it is infected for life,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Sara Higgins of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatoon.

Also known as swamp fever, it is a federally reportable disease.

The number of detected cases has risen in the past few years, especially in Western Canada. There is no vaccine or cure.

Animals that test positive are quarantined for life or killed to try and break the disease cycle.

The virus is spread by blood between animals, usually from mosquitoes and biting insects such as horse flies.

Horse flies are the main vector for

disease transfer, but the disease can also be transmitted through contaminated needles or surgical instruments.

Some infected horses will become sick, but most horses never show symptoms.

The lack of specific symptoms makes blood screening critical to identify the disease. mary.macarthur@producer.com

ameness is one of the most common reasons for cattle producers to treat a cow with antibiotics.

In my experience, producers assume that most lameness cases are foot rot until proven otherwise. However, treating all cases of lameness with antibiotics can be a significant mistake.

The livestock industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s use of antibiotics is under more scrutiny, and practising good antibiotic stewardship requires a proper diagnosis before reaching for the bottle of antibiotics.

Arthritis in the last joint in the hoof, called the coffin joint, may mimic many of the signs of foot rot.

These cases are often difficult to treat and will not respond to antibiotic therapy.

As well, administering antibiotics that have a long withdrawal time may eliminate the option to slaughter the animal if the lameness turns out to be something other than foot rot.

Foot rot is caused by local injury of the skin between the claws, followed by a bacterial infection. Softening of the skin by water, feces and urine may predispose the skin between the claws to injuries.

As a result, we often see a spike of foot rot cases in spring during the snow melt or in a spring where there is lots of rainfall.

Traumatic lesions may initiate the bacterial infection. This means cows that have to walk over stony ground or areas with wood or other debris may cause damage to the interdigital skin and allow the bacterial infection to occur.

The clinical signs of foot rot are distinctive, and producers can usually distinguish foot rot cases from other causes of lameness by carefully observing the animal.

Foot rot usually causes a rapid onset of lameness, which is usually localized to one limb. There is uniform swelling of the coronary band, which is the area where the skin meets the top of the hoof.

It is especially important to note that this swelling is uniform and on both sides of the foot.

Cases of arthritis or traumatic lesions often have swelling that concentrates on one side of the foot and are not uniform.

There is also swelling in the interdigital space, and the claws should be slightly separated.

Producers who are able to examine the foot will find splitting of the interdigital skin and foul smelling debris between the claws.

In many cases, these animals will also have an elevated temperature as a result of the interdigital infection.

Cattle with foot rot will usually rapidly respond to antibiotic therapy and will markedly improve within a few days. A lack of response to antibiotic therapy is usually a sign that the cowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lameness is caused by something other than foot rot.

Producers who have treated an animal for foot rot that does not improve shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue treating with antibiotics or try a different antibiotic.

Some other reason is usually causing this animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lameness, and antibiotics may not be any benefit in these cases.

Septic arthritis of the coffin joint is one of the common problems that can mimic foot rot. This is often a bacterial infection of the foot, which results in a serious infection of the deeper structures of the foot.

These may result from a complication of sole ulcers, an infected sand crack or traumatic lesion or sole abscesses that may be caused by stepping on a sharp penetrating object.

These animals are often severely lame and may barely touch their foot to the ground. They have swelling around the coronary band, which is often not symmetrical. One claw is often more severely affected.

In severe cases, this swelling may move up higher onto the lower leg.

You may occasionally see pus draining from a site on the coronary band.

These cases are often difficult to treat and will not usually respond to only antibiotic therapy.

It is sometimes possible for a veterinarian to amputate the affected claw if only one is affected. Veterinarians can also try other techniques to drain the affected joint.

Salvage slaughter may be the only option if these cases are advanced, but it is not possible if the cow has been given long acting antibiotics because the lameness was assumed to be foot rot.

In these cases, humane euthanasia should be considered if there are no other options for therapy or if recovery is unlikely.

An animal that cannot rise without assistance and is reluctant to walk or exhibits halted movement should not be transported for slaughter.

Emergency slaughter on the farm may be the only option.

Animals that can rise or remain standing without assistance but demonstrate obvious signs of lameness should be transported only with special provisions to the nearest suitable place where it can be humanely slaughtered or cared for.

The Canadian Beef Code of Practice lays out the conditions and special provisions for transporting compromised animals.

INSTRUMENTS OF PLEASURE

Music good for brain, pleases ears COWBOY LOGIC

RYAN TAYLOR

T

he hills are alive with the sound of music again this year on the ranch.

And beyond the hills as well.

In the last two weeks, we’ve attended a violin recital, a band concert, a piano recital and a choral performance to test the acoustics of our school gym and two churches.

Our kids have been dressed up in their “good clothes” almost as much as their “ranch clothes.” I have a little mending to do on my good clothes because I keep popping the buttons on my shirts, my chest swelling with pride as I watch our children play and sing.

Growing up, we never got an Atari game system when it came out, and we bought used cars from the classifieds instead of new cars from the showroom floor, but we always had plenty of musical instruments in the house.

Mostly Mom’s doing, I suppose, since she could play most of them.

We had an old upright piano, a couple of fiddles and guitars, a

mandolin, a banjo, an old pump organ and a Hawaiian lap steel guitar.

As my siblings and I began band in school, my parents also made the investments in a clarinet, a flute and an alto saxophone. I got the alto sax, and played it for seven years.

I’m sure most Ataris have hit the landfill, and those used four-door cars have been crushed and recycled, but we still have those musical instruments. The alto sax has been put back into service in my son’s fifth grade band, the piano continues to make music in our house and I play one of Mom’s old fiddles as I help my other son practice his Suzuki violin lessons.

It’s a good thing they last so long. I took a stroll through the music store, and seeing what those instruments cost brand new multiplied my appreciation for our music-making contraptions back home.

Of course, I’m sure they seemed expensive when Mom and Dad bought them 30 and 40 years ago, too.

Since we have the instruments, it seemed only right that we support our school’s music program and invest in the piano lessons and violin lessons, and drive the miles it takes to get to them when our children began to show an interest in music. I believe there is value in it, even if we don’t become professional musicians.

I haven’t played my alto sax a lot

since I graduated, but I still can, and I remember how. I only took piano for two years, but I can still play my last recital piece and read music.

Those experiences maybe gave me the courage to teach myself how to play guitar later in life, and pick up Mom’s violin and learn “twinkle, twinkle little star,” along with our eight-year-old.

A friend of mine shared a TED-Ed video that talked about the brain science of music.

Scientists say music stimulates more parts of the brain than just about anything else we can do. Listening to music is good, but playing music is exponentially more stimulating to the old grey matter between our ears. It has something to do with exercising our corpus callosum and improving our problem-solving ability, memory and executive skills.

There’s more to this “twinkle, twinkle little star” business than meets the eye.

Whether it’s listening to our daughter sing with my wife in church, watching our middle son step to the stage and confidently play the violin or seeing my old saxophone in the hands of our son at a band concert, I know it stimulates my brain and pleases my ears, but, most importantly, it warms my heart.

Western College of Veterinary Medicine 50 Years of WCVM | 1965-2015 Celebrating 50 years of veterinary education, research and clinical expertise at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM).

Once they receive their degrees this month, Western Canada’s newest veterinarians will follow in the footsteps of nearly 3,000 men and women who have graduated from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in the past 46 years.

Through their practices and other activities, WCVM alumni have made significant contributions to the veterinary profession, animal health and society on local, national and international scales. Some have gained particular attention for their exceptional achievements in agriculture. Two WCVM veterinarians — Drs. David Chalack and Lorne Hepworth — recently earned their places in the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, and their portraits now hang with other members of the country’s “agricultural royalty.”

Chalack is well known as a strong advocate for Canadian agriculture. Raised on a dairy farm near Calgary, he graduated from the WCVM in 1975. After a 15-year stint as a partner at Moore & Company Veterinary Services, he joined Alta Genetics in 1989 and tirelessly promoted Canadian cattle genetics around the world.

He’s also a partner in Rocky Mountain Holsteins, a farm that’s internationally known for its breeding program and show-ring success.

Chalack has been a Calgary Stampede supporter for nearly four decades, and he served as the show’s chair and president of the board from 2009-11. During this time, he implemented a new animal welfare policy that includes independent review and public engagement.

Hepworth is recognized as a lifelong champion for the advancement of science and technology. After graduating from WCVM in 1971, he practised in Weyburn, Sask., for 10 years before becoming a member of the Saskatchewan Legislature for the Progressive Conservative party. Hepworth spent nine years in provincial politics and held several portfolios including Minister of Agriculture.

Hepworth’s next move took him to the crop protection industry where he worked with the former Crop Protection Institute and Canadian Agra Group of Companies. He played a key role in creating CropLife Canada — the national plant science industry trade association. After serving as Crop Life Canada’s president and CEO for 17 years, Hepworth recently retired and became chair of Genome Canada.

The WCVM is proud to have Chalack and Hepworth as part of the college’s alumni family, and hopefully, their extraordinary contributions to Canadian agriculture inspire the next generation of WCVM graduates to make a difference through their own careers.

Pulses popular in pet food

GRAIN TRADERS

Pulse crops are the go-to ingredient for pet owners looking for grain-free kibble

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Pulse crops are riding the antigrain wave sweeping the pet world.

Many North Americans are now buying expensive, grain-free food for their pets, based on the notion that grain is unhealthy for cats and dogs.

“It’s exactly like gluten-free….

Instead of saying gluten free, they’re saying grain free,” said Greg Aldrich, a pet nutrition and pet food processing expert at Kansas State University.

“The grain free movement has become an easy way for pet owners to select a food that they think will not cause food hyper-sensitivity.”

Aldrich, who is developing a pet food science program at Kansas State, said the grain free movement is pushing pet food formulators away from corn, wheat and soybeans and toward an alternative source of protein and fibre.

Pulse crops are the beneficiaries of this trend and have become a “must have” ingredient in the pet food industry.

“They (pulses) are not in everything yet, (but) they’re in all of the new products coming into the market,” said Aldrich.

He was unsure what percentage of the $23 billion a year U.S. pet food sector is now grain free, but pulses have supplanted grain in many dog and cat formulations.

“Peas and lentils and chickpeas … have become very popular as an alternative to grain,” he said.

“Anything new and different is going to come in as a ‘grain free’ product…. It’s gobbling up the market.”

Carl Potts, executive director of the Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, said Canada’s pulse industry is paying attention to the grain free trend.

“This is one area that we are very interested in and think there’s increased potential for growth,” he said.

“Even a 10 or 15 percent inclusion in that market is a massive amount of product and value.”

Sask Pulse is building relationships with members of the pet food industry and had scheduled meetings with a couple of companies for late May. Potts said pet food makers are convinced chickpeas, lentils and peas are healthy for dogs and cats, but there are challenges around formulation.

“Some of the key questions, in our mind and industry minds, are there currently some barriers with the functionality of pulse products in pet food applications?” he said. “(If so), how do we optimize the inclusion levels in the products and get around some of the technical challenges?”

Mike Gallais, general manager with Best Cooking Pulses, which operates pulse processing plants in Portage la Prairie, Man., and Rowatt, Sask., said the company primarily sells peas to pet food companies.

Aldrich said peas and other pulses are now desirable because pet owners have become suspicious of grain.

He said a percentage of pets have dermatitis and other skin conditions, which could be caused by allergies. “(But) they’re not really an allergy…. They’re more chronic, so we call them a hyper-sensitivity.

There’s a belief, by some, that corn, wheat and soy are naturally aller-

IMPORTANCE OF INSURANCE, RECORD BACKUPS

Bouncing back from a disaster takes more than grit THE BOTTOM LINE

he fire started at 10 a.m. and burned for three days.

But Ashley Chapman and his parents, Penny and David, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend much time watching their ice cream plant burn to the ground in 2009. They were on the phones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By 4:30 p.m., our entire senior management team was at my parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kitchen table and I was calling a party rental store about getting tables and chairs so we could put them in the dry warehouse and have some place to work out of,â&#x20AC;? recalls Chapman.

Deciding to rebuild Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Cream, a close No. 3 behind NestlĂŠ and Unilever in Canadian ice cream sales, â&#x20AC;&#x153;was the quickest and easiest family meeting weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had,â&#x20AC;? says Chapman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My parents just looked at me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this on our own. Do you want to rebuild?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;absolutely. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get this done.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And in minutes we were on the phone making calls.â&#x20AC;?

No one was happier than the 1,400 residents of Markdale in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Georgian Bay region.

Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Cream started with four employees in 1993 and had grown to 350 employees. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now 500 plus another 200 in summer.

Business interruption insurance would pay the wages of hourly employees for four months and fulltime staff for a year. If rebuilding took longer than that, the Chapmans were prepared to reach into their own pockets to take care of everyone.

It never came to that, however, because co-packing arrangements had 200 of them back on the job in just four weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess we could have screamed at the heavens, but we just got to work,â&#x20AC;? he says.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want to do on your farm if disaster struck. But could you?

For this is not just a story of determination and resiliency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about having the resources to make a comeback, and that goes beyond insurance, although that is certainly critical.

The Chapmans are enormously thankful they kept paying the expensive insurance premiums. They nearly cancelled them two years before the $100 million fire.

However, money didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rain down afterward. Only a small fraction was paid in the first two months, at which point the insurance company offered them a deal: a quick payout if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d settle for 65 percent of their claim. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no thanks, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve paid for this policy for 20 years and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get 100 percent of our claim,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? says Chapman.

It took five years, and a pretty much full-time effort by the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president of finance, to clear the innumerable hurdles to receive that 100 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most businesses would have gone under well before then,â&#x20AC;? says Chapman.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But because my parents saved every penny â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not paying themselves exorbitant wages or buying yachts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we had a substantial war chest and we could start rebuilding.â&#x20AC;?

His parents are â&#x20AC;&#x153;old schoolâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to debt and they funded all of their numerous expansions without borrowing.

After the fire, having cash on hand allowed them to build and equip a new 265,000 sq. foot plant, which now turns out more than 100 million litres of ice cream, along with numerous other frozen treats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can, you should have money in your bank account to draw on in addition to insurance,â&#x20AC;? says Chapman.

ASHLEY CHAPMAN CHAPMANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ICE CREAM

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always do that, but you should be putting money away instead of spending on the extras that some business owners indulge in.â&#x20AC;?

Lesson No. 2 is to back up your business data.

The Chapmans thought they were covered, but the backup was inexplicably left in the information technology managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office just before the

fire. Some paper records miraculously survived, but the mistake was costly.

Fortunately, their mix makers had memorized every ingredient in every one of their priceless recipes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a bank or have 50 head of cattle, do the right thing and back up your data,â&#x20AC;? says Chapman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just your crops or your cattle that matter. All that information you take for granted every day â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what prices you sold at, your expenses â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is very important.â&#x20AC;?

Like most farmers, the Chapmans view their business as something much more than a way to earn a living. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their passion, and the fire

would have really been a tragedy if all they had been able to do was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sit around and think about it,â&#x20AC;? says Chapman.

Reviewing insurance with a broker or discussing cloud computing with a data backup company is a chore. And pinching pennies can seem silly in a time of cheap, plentiful credit.

But there are much worse things.

Being prepared for them could be the best move you ever made.
