PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

Crop tour alters yield forecast Yield predictions are raised, but production is still expected to be below average

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The CWB has boosted yield estimates for 2015 western wheat and canola crops after a prairie-wide tour, but it predicts overall yields will still be down significantly from 2014.

Bruce Burnett, analyst with CWB market research services, said wheat yields generally will be down about 15 percent this year, while canola will drop about 19 percent.

Those numbers are slightly better than the 19- and 22-percent decreases, respectively, the CWB predicted before the tour.

Durum took the biggest hit with yields expected to fall 15 to 35 percent depending on the region. It will

likely be the smallest durum crop since the drought of 2002 and 2003, he said, and certainly the smallest in 10 years.

Overall, the CWB is predicting 23.1 million tonnes of wheat and 12.49 million tonnes of canola at this point.

The 2010-14 average from Stats Canada is 26.22 million tonnes of wheat and 14.87 tonnes of canola.

The CWB wheat estimate breaks down to 18.14 million tonnes of spring wheat, 4.19 million tonnes of durum and 0.77 million tonnes of winter wheat.

Burnett said the upwardly revised estimates are a result of average, above average and record crops seen on the tour from Winnipeg through Brandon, then from southeast Sask-

“We underestimated how good the crops were in the east,” Burnett told a wrap-up session for tour participants in Regina.

He had been predicting record crops in central Manitoba but said he

has revised yields upward for the Saskatchewan areas as well.

The worst crops were seen on the Calgary tour south through Lethbridge and Medicine Hat and then into Saskatchewan through Leader, Swift Current, Assiniboia and Weyburn.

The other tour — from Saskatoon northeast to Melfort, west to Lloydminster, north and west to Camrose and back east through Wainwright and west central Saskatchewan — saw mixed results.

By crop, the CWB predicts spring wheat yields of 38.9 bushels per acre, down about 10 percent from average and 15 percent from 45.7 bu. per ac. last year.

TIP TOE THROUGH THE FLAX

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Eleven genomics research projects have won Genome Canada’s largescale applied research project competition.

The agriculture and aquaculture genomics research projects, which were announced July 21 by Genome Canada and the Western Grains Research Foundation, will receive $93 million in funding.

The federal government is funding $30.8 million through Genome Canada with $5 million from the Western Grains Research Foundation. Other partners, including provincial governments, the private sector and nonprofit organizations, will contribute $57.2 million.

The projects involve research teams at academic institutions in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec.

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said the province and the University of Saskatchewan, have become a hotbed for agriculture research and production.

“This cluster here at the U of S is instrumental to the increases in production we’ve had in this province.”

Stewart said the research projects have the potential to further boost agricultural in the province.

“Over the last number of years we’ve seen, because of research and because of our producers using the latest in technology, we’ve seen dramatic increases in yield. This is where it starts. It starts with research.”

Projects receiving funding include: • Canadian Triticum Applied Genomics (CTAG2), Genome Prairie (lead genome centre), $8.5 million.

• Application of genomics to innovation in the lentil economy (AGILE), Genome Prairie, $7.9 million.

• Application of genomics to improve disease resilience and sustainability in pork production, Genome Alberta, Genome Prairie, $9.8 million.

• Reverse vaccinology approach for the prevention of mycobacterial disease in cattle, Genome Prairie, Genome British Columbia, $7.4 million.

• Sustaining and securing Canada’s honey bees using genomic tools, Genome British Columbia, $7.2 million.

• SoyaGen, improving yield and disease resistance in short-season soybean, Genome Quebec, $8.3 million.

• Increasing feed efficiency and reducing methane emissions through genomics: A new promising goal for the Canadian dairy industry, Genome Alberta, Ontario Genome Institute, $10.3 million.

• Genomics of abiotic stress resistance in wild and cultivated sunflowers, Genome British Columbia, $7.9 million.

• A Syst-OMICS approach to ensuring food safety and reducing the economic burden of salmonellosis, Genome Quebec, $9.8 million.

• Enhancing production in Coho: culture, community, catch (EPIC4), Genome British Columbia, Genome Quebec, $9.9 million.

CROPS, PASTURES WITHER

Alta. declares drought disaster areas Livestock producers are hard hit as pastures dry up and the price of hay triples

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

More Alberta counties have declared themselves agriculture disaster areas as drought spreads across the province.

The northern counties of Sturgeon, Leduc, Mackenzie, Parkland and Thorhild and the southwestern county of Cypress are suffering from severe dryness as crops and pastures shrivel, and more could join their ranks.

Deciding to declare a disaster is a hard call to make because spotty rain has alleviated conditions for some, said Al Kemmere, president of the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties.

“Even within counties there are scorched areas and areas that are actually doing quite well.”

The declarations are raising awareness as the situation becomes more dire.

“We don’t know if this is Year 1 of a multi-year situation or if this is going to be one year at a time,” he said.

Yields will be down and crop insurance is available, but more help may be needed.

“The province has been very clear: the insurance programs that are out there are the first line of defence.”

Livestock producers are hardest hit because feed supplies are disappearing fast. The price of a bale of hay has tripled in price and is up to around $200.

The province has been very clear: the insurance programs that are out there are the first line of defence.

AL KEMMERE ALBERTA ASSOCIATION OF MUNICIPAL DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES

Hay may have to come from other regions of the country because some parts of the province are so dry there are no cereal crops for emergency grazing.

A Level 4 drought rating was declared last week for the South Coast and Lower Fraser regions of British Columbia.

Local water managers could temporarily suspend short-term water approvals or water licences in affected watersheds if necessary.

A Level 3 drought rating for B.C.’s South Thompson, Nicola, Similkameen, Okanagan-Kettle and Skagit regions was also declared.

Level 3 drought conditions call for voluntary water use reductions of 20 percent or more from all municipal, agricultural and industrial users.

British Columbia is facing challenges due to dryness and early heat waves, said Reg Ens, manager of the B.C. Agriculture Council.

Everything from grain to horticul-

ture crops are up to three weeks early because of unseasonably hot weather and nominal precipitation in May and June. Conditions are variable across the province.

For example, hay yields in the northeast, the north coast, and the upper Columbia and Peace regions are acceptable but non-irrigated hayland may not get second cuts or will be lighter than normal.

Central Cariboo hay crops are light, and there may be poor yields leading to shortages.

The south coast, Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island regions are hurting.

High value crops such as blueberries are irrigated, but that may not provide enough water to meet crop requirements.

Raspberries are also stressed with lower than normal yields.

“Even the guys who had irrigation, they got some crop off but the fruit was baking on the bushes,” he said.

Governments have said crop insurance is the first line of defence, but that may not be enough because participation rates are declining, said Ens. The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association is surveying members to determine forage production, water supply and reservoir levels, regional hay availability and feed prices.

The survey may be found at www. surveymonkey.com/r/BCCA_ DroughtSurvey2015.

On July 23, the federal government announced 2015 tax deferrals for livestock producers in prescribed drought regions who are facing feed shortages and have to sell breeding stock.

Proceeds from deferred sales are then included as part of the producer’s income in the next tax year, when those proceeds may be at least partially offset by the cost of replacing breeding animals.

The breeding herd must have been reduced by at least 15 percent. If this is the case, 30 percent of income from net sales can then be deferred.

Ninety percent of income from net sales can be deferred in cases where the herd declines by 30 percent or more.

Eligible producers can request the tax deferral when filing their 2015 income tax returns.

CWB CROP TOUR » CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

BRUCE BURNETT CWB ANALYST

“That doesn’t scream disaster,” Burnett said.

“That says significantly lower than last year.”

Yields will be highest in Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan and lowest in Alberta and through west-central Saskatchewan, he said.

Durum is the bad news story. The CWB predicts 27.8 bu. per ac., dramatically lower than the 40.9 bu. per ac. recorded last year.

D r y c o n d i t i o n s h av e c a u s e d reduced tillering, short, thin stands and small heads. Rain now will help some of the crops, but not all.

One positive for durum, however, will be higher protein levels.

The prediction for canola this year is 29.3 bu. per ac., down from 34.4 bu. per ac. last year and the average of about 35 bu. per ac.

Burnett said in northeastern Alberta, the tour found canola fields with many different growth stages and harvest staging will be a challenge.

Strong yields in eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba will offset the poor yields elsewhere.

Burnett’s concern is the about 1.5 million acres of canola that was reseeded after spring frost. Some of those fields are just reaching the flowering stage.

“There is some concern certainly they need to see frost-free conditions through August and past Labour Day,” he said. “Most crops are ahead of normal across the Prairies but some areas need an extended growing season.”

Although the tours focused on wheat and canola, observations on lentils and peas found short pea crops and yields likely below the long term average.

“Lentils have really hung in there, which is their modus operandi,” Burnett said. “Lentil production is probably not off as much as the pea production will be this year.” karen.briere@producer.com

Iron chlorosis vexing issue for soybean growers The problem, caused by saturated soil, can be short-lived and plants can rebound, says a land management specialist

CWB CRO

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

ST. MALO, Man. — Patches of stunted, yellowed and thin soybean crops aren’t hard to find south and southeast of Winnipeg.

Manitoba’s new soybean growers have been learning to abhor these patches of jaundiced crop, which are caused by iron chlorosis.

But how can a farmer avoid this problem, which is caused by saturated soil stopping soybean plants from acidifying the surrounding soil and making iron soluble.

“This is a problem that can be shortlived,” Manitoba Agriculture land management specialist Marla Riekman said during the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers field day at the Carman research farm. “ T h e p l a nt s w i l l (o f t e n ) p u l l through it.”

Riekman said farmers should look for varieties that are tolerant of iron deficiency because some varieties are much better able to “grow through it a little bit faster.”

Indeed, two experienced Manitoba soybean growers who were on the July 21-25 CWB crop tour didn’t think that the fields they checked south of Winnipeg were necessarily severely damaged, even though they had substantial areas of yellowing and thinness.

“This crop can rebound from this if it gets a chance,” said one of the farmers as the tour walked through the blighted field.

Manitoba soybean crops seen on the tour are generally in excellent shape and look to provide good, three-bean pods, with iron chlorosis the only significant field problem spotted.

Manitoba soil, especially in the Red River Valley with its heavy clay, can suffer heavy saturation from either rain or river flooding. The area is also the home to much of Manitoba’s soybean production.

That combination has allowed iron chlorosis to leap out of nowhere in wet years, often alarming new soybean growers who haven’t dealt

MARLA RIEKMAN MANITOBA AGRICULTURE

with it previously.

Riekman said there are no easy rescue treatments for iron chlorosis, which leaves farmers in a pickle if it’s severe.

Strawberry growers sometimes apply a foliar iron treatment, but they have to do it weekly because iron doesn’t travel within the plant.

“They’re doing OK, but they’re also making some good money,” she said.

“We can’t necessarily afford to do that in soybeans.”

An in-furrow treatment exists in the United States, but it is not legally av a i l a b l e i n Ca na d a, e v e n f o r researchers, Riekman said. However, it’s not a rescue treatment because it needs to go in during seeding.

It’s not cheap at $40 an acre, but Riekman said a farmer could use it only on chronically iron-chlorosed patches. They are easy to identify because “the beautiful thing about (iron chlorosis) is that you have an ability to take a picture of it and you’ll know exactly where it’s going to show up again and again and again.… You know you’re going to have the same problem come back whenever you have soybeans and when you have too much wetness.”

The farmers and analysts on the tour thought most of the affected crops they saw could leave iron chlorosis behind without too much yield loss because of the recent drier weather in the soybean-growing areas.

However, it all depends on the next few weeks’ weather, and no one can predict that. ed.white@producer.com

Everything’s nice, everything’s green Some areas see best soybean crops in years

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CARMAN, Man. — Let the good weather hold.

That’s the hope of thousands of Manitoba farmers who have been blessed with better-than-average growing conditions and should reap an excellent harvest if good weather

continues into September.

“Up to now it’s pretty good growing conditions,” said Jack Hofer, a Starbuck farmer.

“We’ve had enough rain. The beans are over knee-high. Everything’s nice. Everything’s green.”

P TOUR » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE sitting a few metres away on the line of straw bales that served as seats at the Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers field day at the University of Manitoba’s Carman research farm, is looking at the same thing in his fields. “ T h e y ’ re l o o k i n g e x c e l l e nt,” Menold said about his soybeans.

“They’re better than average. They look high yielding. I don’t want to call it a bin-buster, but it looks very highyielding as long as we don’t get a hailstorm or early frost.”

That was a common feeling both at the Carman field day and during the CWB crop tour that crossed southern Manitoba looking at farmers’ fields.

Wheat and soybean crops look excellent and will be both big and high quality if decent weather continues.

Few signs of disease or major bug problems were noted by the farmers in Carman and little was seen during the CWB crop tour.

“It’s looking really good. There’s not much in the way of insect pests,” said Ingrid Kristjanson, a Manitoba Agriculture adviser from Morris who was at the field day.

“In general, (crops are) really nice.”

Soybean crops in her area suffered one of the few problems spotted by the CWB tour — iron chlorosis — but Kristjanson said they were able to grow through and past that condition once spring saturation passed.

Agronomist Kristin Podolsky with the pulse and soybean association said that even though iron chlorosis was widespread this year, the crops were able to push past it “faster than usual.”

Now, with weeks of good warmth and sufficient rain in most areas, the crops are surging ahead and looking good. Dry beans look good, while soybeans have closed their crop canopies and are busily growing.

“These moderate temperatures are treating us well,” said Podolsky.

A couple of farmers on the CWB tour said Manitoba farmers were probably blessed by the heavy haze that hung over the province in early July when smoke from Saskatchewan forest fires preventing the sun from scorching crops. Most crops’ flowering stages progressed without too much intense heat.

One of the biggest challenges for farmers is downed crops caused by high wind and pounding rain. Hofer said this problem had revealed variety-to-variety differences in cereal grains.

In one field he has one variety standing and other downed in many patches.

“You can see the difference,” he said.

Dauphin farmer Ernie Sirski is crossing his fingers and hoping the good weather holds for a few more weeks.

“The (soybeans) are as good as they’ve ever been in the four years we’ve been growing them,” said Sirski. “They look really nice. I’ve never seen them look this good at this time of year.”

La Salle farmer Al Turski said the same.

PARKLAND

Re-seeded canola rebounds with rain Frost is a risk because many crops in the area are at least three weeks behind

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

G R A N DV I E W , Ma n . — Fe w towns in Western Canada have a more apt name than Grandview.

From Highway 5, which is the main road through the community, it’s possible to see 10 to 15 kilometres south and gaze over agricultural fields, bluffs of trees and the rolling knolls of Manitoba’s parkland region.

This year, in late July, many of the fields south of Grandview were bright yellow, the familiar colour of canola in full bloom.

Most of the canola in western Manitoba, particularly north and west of Brandon, was in the early or middle stages of the flowering period July 23.

The canola is blooming later than normal because 60 to 75 percent of the crop in a large swath of land from Minnedosa to the Saskatchewan border and north to Swan River was re-seeded in early June.

Producers were forced to re-seed after a long and hard frost in late May. Temperatures dipped to - 7 C in several areas, causing irreparable damage to small and sensitive canola plants.

Statistics from Manitoba Agricultural Services Corp., the provincial crop insurer, suggest that 900,000 to 950,000 canola acres were reseeded this spring in the province.

In late June, a portion of the canola crop, particularly in the parkland region, suffered from a lack of moisture.

However, thunder storms and rain in the first two weeks of July helped revive the crop, said Elmer Kaskiw, a Manitoba Agriculture crop adviser in Minnedosa.

“I don’t think, at least in western

Manitoba, that any areas are in a real moisture deficit now,” Kaskiw said. “The re-seeded canola has responded well to that (moisture) … and it’s looking great.”

Roberta Galbraith, who farms near Minnedosa, re-seeded most of her canola crop in early June.

Her fields are approximately twothirds through the bloom period.

“Right where we are, our canola crops are looking pretty decent.”

Re-seeded canola may be decent or good, but it is also late.

Chuck Fossay, a producer from Starbuck, Man., drove past or walked into dozens of canola fields in Manitoba and Saskatchewan July 21-23 during the CWB crop tour.

He saw many canola crops in early flower or in the middle of flowering, and he’s concerned about frost.

“They (the canola fields) probably won’t be ready for harvest until mid to late September,” he said.

Kaskiw said frost is a real risk because the crops will be blooming well into August. “(We) probably have a full two weeks of bloom left in a lot of these re-seeded crops,” he said.

“Typically after it comes out of flower it (then) takes three weeks to get it even close to any seed colour change.”

Kaskiw said the late seeded canola should be fine with favourable weather, but there is a big difference between the speed of crop development in July compared to August.

“The days get so much shorter and maturity just takes a lot longer to happen once you get into the second half of August,” he said. robert.arnason@producer.com

BULL RUN

Hot price streak may be at an end Demand for crop commodities is stagnating, leading to weaker prices and pressure to reduce global crop area

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The bullish agriculture commodity cycle has ended, says Dan Basse.

The president of Chicago-based AgResource Company said the grain trade has stagnated after a strong decade.

Farmers in Russia, Brazil and Canada have reacted to lower currencies relative to the U.S. dollar by producing more and the market appears unconcerned about shortages, he said.

“The problem this market has is, we lack a demand driver,” Basse said after a presentation at a wrap-up session for last week’s CWB prairie crop tours.

“The Chinese may import a few more beans every year, but other than that, we’re looking at needing about 1.7 percent more grain globally to feed the population, that would include expanding diets and expanding disposable income, and we can do that through trend yields,” he said.

“I don’t need more acres. In fact I need fewer acres as I look at the next three to five years.”

Basse said how those acres come out of production and where they come from will determine the bottom of the market.

He suggested 15 to 20 million acres could or should come out of production and that is likely to happen in the United States.

“Our guess is, at the moment, because of currency, the U.S. dollar being strong, and as we start to normalize interest rates in the United States, indeed, we think those acres will come from the U.S.,” he said.

“The problem being is that U.S. farmers are very difficult to take acres of production unless the government does it for them.”

He said in Canada there might be a few more idle acres than in the past due to lingering dry conditions but that will depend on precipitation after harvest, as well as the strength of the Canadian dollar.

Basse said the canola market is likely at the top. It has a “snug” stock outlook through most of the world.

“We thought canola would top

Participants in CWB’s recent crop tour, such as these in a wheat field in southwestern Manitoba, heard that demand is stagnating for agricultural commodities. | ED WHITE PHOTO somewhere between $550 and $575 (per tonne) Canadian and we think we’re about there,” he said.

There could be one more shot to the upside in late summer or fall if there are to poor harvest conditions but Basse said canola prices will slowly relax as China continues to import less.

“China is sitting on a five-millionplus-tonne surplus of canola oil.

They need to move it,” he said. “We think under this high-priced environment of canola relative to soy they will do that and so they will be diminished importers of canola seed and oil in the year ahead,” he said.

World corn demand looks to be stable but the ethanol driver for the past 10 years is ebbing.

“It’s a much different environment than the last seven years in which we

? The

needed more acres for biofuels. We needed more acres for China’s soybean imports,” he said.

“That just doesn’t exist today and as such farmers should be rewarding these weather rallies when we have them.”

The U.S. durum and spring wheat crops look good and should be up 10 to 15 percent over last year, Basse said. Italy will also have a larger crop and won’t import as much durum, leading to a calmer world market given Canada’s durum production will be down this year.

“We still think durum prices will stay high relative to spring wheat.”

Basse added he doesn’t like where the market is going.

“The last nine or 10 years have been a lot of fun. Unfortunately, as agriculture built out in terms of better genet-

MARKET INFORMATION

New service expected to improve transparency Market analysts say Alberta Wheat Commission’s website will add to an already large amount of industry information

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Grain growers will have vastly improved market transparency when selling the 2015 crop.

The Alberta Wheat Commission is putting the finishing touches on a website at www.pdqinfo.ca that will provide farmers with regional average daily cash prices for all the major crops.

“We’re hoping to be able to make some announcement closer to harvest,” said general manager Tom Steve.

The commission and Farmers Advanced Risk Management Co., a grain marketing consulting firm that is leading the project, initiated discussions with grain companies this spring about gaining access to their daily elevator bids.

“We have had very fruitful discussions with all of the major grain companies and some of the smaller ones as well,” said Steve.

The only thing holding up the launch are technical issues that need to be ironed out.

Steve said the website will contain average prices for all the major crops in eight zones across Western Canada.

“We’re trying to reflect an average regional price, but we’re not sharing any proprietary information,” he said. “We think it’s a major step forward to have access to that timely information.”

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said grain pricing and movement information is already more transparent than many farmers believe.

Agriculture Canada publishes a weekly report containing a lot of pricing information, while provincial agriculture departments, ICE Futures Canada and grain companies and stand-alone inland terminals also publish prices daily or weekly.

“This is market transparency,” he told the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s recent mid-term convention. “Not great, but it’s market transparency.”

Readily available market information helps farmers make informed marketing decisions. | However, only a couple of farmers raised their hands when he asked the audience how many make use of those resources. Growers can also find out basis prices if they know where to look.

ICE publishes a canola basis comparing Vancouver port prices to futures prices, and Penner compiles his own elevator basis charts for Western Canada and North Dakota based on publicly available information from grain companies.

“In my mind, that’s transparency,” he said.

There is also port-to-futures basis information for No. 1, 13 percent Canada Western Amber Durum at the West Coast and at St. Lawrence, and Penner said he is able to compare those levels against the average Canadian prairie basis.

As well, the Canadian Grain Com-

mission publishes a wealth of information on grain logistics every week.

“That’s helpful information,” said Penner. “Some of it is more useful than others.”

The Ag Transport Coalition also provides timely information detailing railway performance on a weekly basis.

One thing that is missing is reporting of export sales. In the United States, exporters are required to provide weekly updates about what crops they shipped and where they went. The information is compiled and published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service.

“We don’t have that. That’s one of the things we need,” he said.

Penner also laments the loss of the weekly vessel line-up report, which disappeared when the Canadian

ROBERT ARNASON PHOTO

Ports Clearance Association closed its grain transportation business in 2012.

He used to be able to look at the report and see, for example, that six vessels were waiting to be loaded with 240,000 tonnes of peas. Through CGC reports he could see how much was in port terminals and country elevators and assess whether grain companies would need to adjust pea prices to attract quick deliveries from farmers. It was a good barometer of where prices were heading.

“That is one of my big beefs because that’s (how) I would give some of my best advice,” he said.

Steve said the commission will attempt to fill those information voids in future versions of its website.

“Definitely we’re looking at all of those issues, and I would concur with (Penner’s) assessment,” he said.

Penner said growers need to start

using the available price and logistics tools if they want to maintain the market transparency that exists today.

He has had conversations with Agriculture Canada officials who have threatened to stop posting weekly prices because of poor use of the service.

“If nobody uses it, of course they will disappear,” said Penner.

Growers should also put pressure on grain companies to list more pricing information on their websites.

Some don’t publish prices at all.

“It doesn’t help to complain to your local guy,” he said. “You really have to go up the food chain to talk to the guys as high up as you possibly can.”

Penner would also like farmers to request more information from the grain commission.

“I know the guys who work in that stats department. They would love to do more for you guys. They would absolutely love to,” he said.

The problem is a lack of resources, but farmers clamouring for information would be hard to ignore.

Growers can also lobby members of Parliament for more market transparency, but they need to be specific about what they want.

“It’s one of these things like world peace. Yeah, that’s a great idea, but what do you mean by that? What parts are missing? What don’t we have now that we would like to have?”

He said grain companies, railways and groups such as Quorum Corp. have lots of information that they keep under wraps.

“The great unwashed like me don’t get access to that,” said Penner.

“That needs to be made public as well too on a very timely basis.”

He also warned farmers against fudging yield and acreage numbers when Statistics Canada comes calling because the information it compiles is also a form of market transparency.

“If you give them good answers, you have better market transparency.

Just saying.” sean.pratt@producer.com

AMERICAN HARVEST

Large spring wheat crop expected in U.S.

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

American farmers are getting ready to harvest a bumper spring wheat crop.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting 15.6 million tonnes of production, which would be the largest crop since 1996-97, despite the fifth smallest planted area in 20 years.

It is also forecasting a sizable 2.06 million tonne durum crop, which is almost identical to the previous 10-year average.

That is impressive, considering growers planted 1.65 million acres with durum, which is up from last year but well below the 10-year average of 2.2 million acres.

Erica Olson, marketing specialist with the North Dakota Wheat Commission, said farmers got in their fields early for the first time in five

years, and weather conditions have been close to ideal.

“We’ve had fairly good moisture but not too much,” she said.

It was wet in June and July so producers had to be vigilant about spraying their crops, but they have done a good job and disease pressure is low.

The USDA is forecasting average spring wheat yields of 48 bushels per acre for North Dakota, which would be a record.

“I have talked to some producers and when they hear that number, they think it’s too low. They think it will be over 50,” said Olson.

It would likely mean a revision in the 15.6 million tonne production estimate because North Dakota grows half of the spring wheat produced in the United States.

“I think there is definitely some upside potential to that number,” she said.

However, dry conditions in parts of South Dakota and Montana could partially offset the strong crop yields in North Dakota and Minnesota.

The USDA is forecasting an average durum yield of 36 bu. per acre for North Dakota, which again is responsible for about half of the country’s durum acres.

Olson has heard no feedback from growers about that estimate, so she thinks it must be fairly accurate.

The U.S. spring wheat crop was rated 70 percent good to excellent as of the week ending July 19, which is the same condition it was in a year ago.

North Dakota’s durum crop was rated 86 percent good to excellent.

Early season durum sales have been brisk for 2015-16 and the USDA expects continued strong demand for the crop because of poor production prospects in Canada and parts of the European Union.

The USDA is forecasting 1.09 million tonnes of U.S. durum exports, up from the five-year average of 903,000 tonnes.

Spring wheat sales have been slow, but the pace is expected to pick up because of a poor Canadian crop and a low protein U.S. hard red winter wheat crop, which also experienced significant disease damage.

The USDA is forecasting 8.85 million tonnes of spring wheat exports, 22 percent above the five-year average.

Olson expects harvest to start during the first week of August, which is about two to three weeks ahead of the last few years, so spring wheat and durum should be hitting the market early.

It is too early to speculate on quality, but big yields usually mean low protein levels. sean.pratt@producer.com

Angus producers work to protect breed quality Black cattle are segregated at packing plants, but few end up in a premium Angus beef program

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Plenty of black cattle graze across North America, but hide colour does not mean they are going to produce high quality beef.

Black cattle are segregated at packing plants and could end up in a premium Angus beef program.

However, the number that actually make the grade is not that high.

“We do have to pay attention,” said Fred Taylor of the Canadian Beef Grading Agency.

“Just because they are black cattle, it doesn’t mean they are going to be AAA. We have lots of black cattle with an A stamp on the loin that don’t make AAA.” Canadian producers are encouraged to attach green ear tags to their cattle if they have one purebred Red or Black Angus parent. Black cattle or animals with the green tag can be segregated at the plant, at which time a red dot goes on the shank and an “A” stamp is placed on the loin when the hide comes off.

These carcasses could be potential candidates for breed based programs such as Certified Angus Beef, Angus Reserve and Angus Pride when they arrive at the grading station.

The cattle are checked manually to make sure they are Angus, and carcasses in the fabrication area are separated with a fibreglass board so other beef does not commingle. Trim and other parts headed for grinding are also kept separate.

“These are all programs in the plant, and we don’t have enough cattle to fill those programs. It is always a problem to fill those orders,” Taylor said at the Canadian Angus Association’s June 5 convention in Calgary.

“We are not getting Red Angus tagged in the plant. We might get five percent.”

Graders see a variety of quality types. For example, animals may have thick back fat covers but grade

A U.S.-based program that identifies certified Angus cattle looks first at hide colour and then screens them for 10 carcass specifications. | only AA, which does not provide any financial benefit.

Taylor said beef producers need to take advantage of trace back programs. He once saw 193 head enter the plant, and all of them received the highest quality grade of Prime and went to an Angus program.

Producers need to know this, he added.

“If you can trace back your results, it certainly is worth it to know where those calves came from,” he said.

Corrine Gibson, president of the Angus association, said the industry has a five year plan to identify more Angus cattle going to market. The information is important for everyone from the seed stock producer to the cattle buyers who are looking to fill programs.

“There is a program we are looking at that we feel will dramatically increase the amount of tags going out and in turn be able to increase the number going to the kill floor,” she said.

The green ear tags are not part of Certified Angus Beef, but they may help identify Black or Red Angus enrolled in that program, said spokesperson Steve Suther.

The U.S.-based program’s first criteria is a black hide. About 750,000 head per year show up at Canadian plants and are then screened for 10 carcass specifications. Many fail to move on because they do not grade AAA. “Our licensed partners in packing and processing typically have an array of other Angus programs to fit cattle identified as Angus but unable to meet Certified Angus Beef brand

specifications,” he said in an email.

“To the extent that they have generated demand for those programs, it is logical that supply cannot keep up with potential sales.”

The branded program sold 41 million pounds in Canada last year, but the country produced only 26 million lb. The rest had to come from the U.S.,where 882 million lb. were produced in 2014.

The number of black-hided Canadian cattle accepted for the brand is 18 percent better than it was five or six years ago, but it lags significantly behind the U.S., where nearly 30 percent of black-hided cattle received the CAB brand in April with an annual average of 26 percent.

Certified Angus Beef sales increased to $775 million in 2010 from $350 million in 2000. Cattle must be at least 51 percent black to receive the brand and meet the following criteria: • • • • • • • • •

Modest or higher marbling.

Medium or fine marbling texture.

Ten to 16 sq. inch rib eye area.

1,050 pound hot carcass weight or less.

Less than one inch fat thickness.

Superior muscling, which restricts dairy influence.

Practically free of capillary rupture.

No dark cutters.

No neck hump exceeding two inches.

GRAIN HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION

Higher long-term yields could bring chronic basis trouble

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Basis levels are returning to normal after last year’s grain backlog sent them soaring, and a smaller crop this year could see them drop further, said an agricultural economist.

However, Richard Gray of the University of Saskatchewan warned that over the long term yields are generally becoming larger, and farmers could easily find themselves back in a backlog unless changes are made.

He told farmers at two recent conferences that wide basis is one of the biggest issues they face.

Unusually wide basis was responsible for much of the estimated $5.1 billion in losses caused by the transportation problems.

In this case, Gray was defining basis as the difference between the price of

RICHARD GRAY U OF S

a tonne of grain at port and what farmers receive at the elevator.

Gray said it typically averages about $70 per tonne to Vancouver but hit $250 at one point in early 2014.

Basis has come down to normal levels since the government ordered the railways to start moving grain. As well, this year’s dry conditions are signalling a smaller crop.

Excess capacity and smaller supply prompts grain companies to bid more aggressively for grain and tightens basis.

“But when available exportable supplies exceeds the capacity of the system to move it, the capacity must be rationed,” Gray said. “ This is done by lowering the (country elevator) bid prices.”

He said losses become real as basis climbs. For example, excess basis of $43 per tonne translates to $2 billion out of farmers’ pockets.

He said this problem could return as grain production and exports rise and railways become busier.

Gray said several things are required to fix the problem, including increased west coast capacity.

The natural flow of all prairie grain is west, he said. For example, the cheapest way to move grain from Brandon to Europe is through Vancouver and the Panama Canal.

“Think about shipping to China,” Canada should also ship more

grain by container, Gray said.

Australia shipped 2.5 million tonnes that way last year.

“We’ve got empty cans going back to Asia every day that we’re not using,” he said.

There is also a role for the port of Churchill if crops are large, Gray added.

However, in years with smaller crops, narrow basis and unused capacity, that port is likely the one that would feel the impact.

He said deregulated rail rates are not the answer to provide improved capacity and lower basis. American shippers, who have a less regulated system, are paying two to three times more than what Canadians are paying. Basis between Minneapolis and Portland was as high as $4.50 per bushel last crop year.

However, incentives to move grain in the winter might work. Gray said it

is more expensive to move grain by rail at that time, so paying a little more might help.

“The only market solution here is open running rights, and that’s not going to happen any time soon,” he said, referring to a railway being required to give access to their rails to trains from competing companies.

He said there should also be futures contracts with the west coast as the pricing point and better crop forecasting.

Farmers should know their numbers, monitor export basis levels and ask for as much data as they can get.

“The stakes are large,” he said.

“There are solutions that require policy action, but if producers don’t say anything or don’t make any push for it, it’s not going to happen.” karen.briere@producer.com

FEEDER CATTLE DOWN

Global pork exporters see opportunities in China

The fed market is following the usual seasonal trend because prices have declined about 10 percent since the June highs.

The last two years were an anomaly because the tight cattle supply caused prices to stay strong through the summer.

Feeding margins have narrowed considerably as cash prices have fallen over the last six weeks.

Fall-placed calves remain profitable, while early 2015-placed yearlings might only break even.

There are indications that grid prices are higher than the cash market, which has encouraged producers to allocate more cattle to the grid versus cash.

Both Alberta packers bought cash cattle but did not book cattle for a specific week. Instead, they were scattering inventory through August.

Dressed sales were $306-$308 per hundredweight delivered, down $2-$4 from the previous week.

Weighted average steer prices closed at $183.12 per cwt., the lowest price this year.

U.S. packer bids were not high enough to succeed. U.S. bids were in the upper C$170s to low $180s, depending on dressing percent and freight.

The nearby Chicago live cattle contract was trading at the lowest level since mid-April.

Reuters reported that cash cattle in the U.S. Plains sold at US$145-$146 per cwt, down as much as $3 from the previous week.

Canadian prices might be close to posting the summer low.

Canadian packer margins have improved, allowing plants to add hours to the kill schedule.

Weekly western Canadian fed slaughter was 34,000 head, the largest weekly kill this year.

Grass cattle and calves are being sold two to three weeks ahead of the norm.

Calves lighter than 500 pounds and feeders heavier than 800 lb. rose, while middle weight feeders 500-800 lb. fell $1-$2.50.

Feeder exports to July 11 rebounded following the July 4 holiday week to 3,495 head.

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he two biggest market developments in oilseeds over the past 15 years have been China’s voracious demand for soybeans and the expansion of soybean production in South America to feed it.

China’s imports account for 60 percent of world soybean trade, and it buys the beans mostly for the meal to feed its growing hog herd.

China’s hog and pork statistics are staggering.

The country is the world’s top producer and consumer of pork.

Chinese people on a per capita basis eat twice as much pork as Canadians.

Its pork consumption totalled 57 million tonnes in 2014, which accounts for more than half of the global pork consumption.

However, its industry has been undergoing a sea change as production switches from small family units to big corporate operations.

There was a big expansion in recent years, but then producers ran into trouble as the industry over-expanded.

Profits plunged with high feed

prices, blows to demand following food safety scares and a new government push to enforce environmental regulations.

The number of hogs in inventory at the end of June was 417 million, down 48 million from six months earlier.

To put that into context, Canada’s hog herd is slightly more than 13 million head, so just the six-month decline in China was three and a half times Canada’s entire herd.

Sow inventory is down 15 percent year on year.

Given that decline, it is amazing that they are still importing vast quantities of soybeans.

However, the hog numbers are down enough now that prices are starting to recover.

The China Daily website reports that pork prices are up about 16 percent since April, and more price increases are expected.

The hog shortage in China could be good news for Canadian and American hog producers.

North American hog prices hit record levels last year because of the toll that porcine epidemic diarrhea took on American piglets, but they are now falling because producers brought the disease under control much quicker than expected.

Producers had over-bred on the expectation that the disease would still be killing a significant percentage of piglets. As well, they pushed carcass weights higher to make up for

9

the expected shortage.

However, with the disease now controlled, it has led to overproduction in the U.S. It would be good if more of the excess pork could be shipped to China to address the country’s growing shortage.

However, both the United States and Canada have sharply lower pork exports to China in the first five months of the year, down about 50 percent.

The strong American dollar discourages exports, and there are restrictions on American pork shipments to China because of the use of ractopamine In the U.S. Pork Checkoff Report newsletter, National Pork Board chief Chris Hodges said the ractopamine issue has become critical.

“It is the consensus of the pork board that producers who are interested in and able to adjust their production should consider working directly with their packer to take advantage of this opportunity.”

The Canadian Pork Council has already worked with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to develop a ractopamine-free pork certification program, which ensures the drug isn’t present in any stage of the supply chain, from feed manufacturers to finishing barns to processing plants.

CRAIG’S VIEW

BRIDGING THE DIVIDE

Organic, conventional farmers should exploit common ground

A

recent story in The Western Producer that compared crop insurance data on conventional yields versus organic yields for many of Western Canada’s main crops has rekindled old rivalries.

At times it seems like the two sides in the conventional versus organic debate will never see eye to eye, even though the two camps don’t, as a rule, compete for the same markets.

There is a philosophical divide that makes it hard for the two to relate.

There are many reasons why one farmer chooses to grow organically while another prefers conventional methods.

Organic producers might prefer that system because of its approach to the environment through zero pesticide use (with proper manure applications) and careful attention to management plans based on the situation at hand, rather than a cookie-cutter approach that uses boxed solutions from chemical manufacturers.

Conventional growers often hold up their methods as being of broader benefit with higher yields that are better able to feed the burgeoning world population, as well as environmental gains made through zero till.

When these types of motherhood issues are involved, people find it difficult to see the opposing perspective.

The basis for the renewed debate focused on Western Producer analysis that provided data from crop insurance in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The analysis found that organic yields are generally 40 to 50 percent of conventional.

The lower yields didn’t surprise many people, but the width of the gap raised questions.

First off, it should be understood that yield is not the sole determining factor of success.

Organic profits can far exceed what conventional growers earn, thanks to crop prices that can be two to three times higher than conventional.

As well, organic agriculture’s low input use means much lower operating costs.

Still, there is room for organic growers to close the yield gap. Organic farmers usually have less available extension information, and research funding into organic methods is a small fraction of what goes into conventional farming methods.

At a recent field day in Manitoba, one organic researcher said he believed organic growers could boost their yields to as much as 80 percent of conventional by simply staying up to date with the latest research, such as use of inter-row cultivation.

It’s proof that more often than not, it is not what you know but what you don’t know that can hurt you.

It also demonstrates that conventional and organic growers can actually share much common ground.

Research into new techniques and management practices that enhance soil fertility and reduce weeds without chemicals benefit both conventional and organic farmers.

However, because most of the research funding is directed by private companies, which have shown little interest in this type of work, the demand must come from farmers themselves.

It is possible for conventional and organic farmers to share a common goal.

In the end, both are in business to feed their families and produce safe, healthy food for a wider world while practicing sound environmental stewardship and pursuing their lifestyle of choice.

Each might choose different pathways to achieve their goals, but the routes run congruously, side by side, each serving its own markets, attracting its own consumers and telling its own stories.

CROP OUTLOOK

Up to now it’s pretty good growing conditions. We’ve had enough rain. The beans are over knee-high.

Everything’s nice. Everything’s green.

FOOD TERRORISTS?

Ratcheting up the rhetoric can prove harmful to agriculture CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

I

n a recent teleconference with reporters, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz linked ongoing issues with food tampering with “food terrorists.”

“It does cost a tremendous amount of money to the processors and the farmers that are caught in this loop — I’ll call them food terrorists — are implementing,” Ritz said during a wrap-up news conference with Canada’s provincial agriculture ministers.

“It’s really unfortunate they think this is making their point. It’s not.”

Ritz would go on to call those responsible “scoundrels,” arguing their actions are both “despicable and deplorable.”

Ritz’s comments came after needles and nails were found inserted in Atlantic Canada potatoes. The incidents are subject to an RCMP investigation and have triggered a warning and a recall from Canada’s Food Inspection Agency.

The use of the word “food terrorist”

by Canadian politicians didn’t stop there.

Two days later, Ontario agriculture minister Jeff Leal said in an interview with iPolitics that “food terrorists” were also responsible for the release of thousands of mink from fur farms in southern Ontario.

“The federal government does have legislation now that has both substantial fines and jail time for individuals who have been caught, and indeed convicted, of food terrorism activities,” Leal said.

Don’t get me wrong: inserting needles and nails into potatoes and devastating fur farms by releasing thousands of minks are criminal acts that are costing industries.

They’re crimes and those responsible should get the full force of the

law directed at them — but are they really acts of terrorism?

Terrorism is widely defined as the use of violence or intimidation for political means.

Prior to 9/11, the idea of linking the word terrorism to food tampering would have been laughed at.

People hesitated to use the word, reserving it for instances where actions were clearly politically motivated and where the violence or intimidation was so apparent it couldn’t be questioned.

As of right now, no one has publicly said that the reasons they are sticking needles and nails into potatoes are politically motivated. In fact, no one has come forward publicly to take responsibility for the potato incidents at all.

The RCMP and Ritz certainly haven’t said publicly they know who is responsible, while the Prince Edward Island potato industry has offered a $500,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.

It’s a similar story for the mink. Ani-

mal rights group Animal Liberation Front has taken responsibility for releasing 1,600 minks at Glenwood Fur Farm, leading to allegations and suspicions that animal activists could be responsible for the latest releases.

Those allegations haven’t been proven in court, and a police investigation is ongoing.

There’s no question Canada’s agriculture industry has been targeted by political groups. The vicious assaults lobbed against farmers by select vegans on Twitter when producers opened up their barns on social media as part of #Farm365 is a prime example.

Fighting those attacks and messaging has been a challenge, which has not gone unnoticed by those who cover the industry or Canada’s agriculture ministers.

Labelling the recent food tampering incidents as acts of “food terrorism” won’t help with that fight.

Words are powerful. The word terrorism has an uncanny ability to instill fear and panic in people. It’s a

scary word.

Yet the current public discourse seems to have fallen in love with it.

These days nearly every crime committed is linked to terrorism in some way. Terrorism has weaseled its way into Conservative rhetoric, particularly as the party tries to make security a major election issue.

The word has become so common place you could put it in the same category as “the economy” or “taxes.”

Fear is the name of the game these days. The last thing Canada’s agriculture industry needs is Canadians who are scared about their food.

It’s fair game for Ritz to call those responsible for the food tampering acts “scoundrels” and “criminals” and promise to throw the “full force of the law at them.”

However, Canada’s agriculture ministers should think twice before they permanently jump into the terrorism rhetoric band wagon. Words can be hard to take back.

Industry needs antibiotic alternatives

Farm show, crop tour info, photos abound

BY CAMERON GROOME

C

anada’s livestock industry is an important producer of high quality meat.

According to the Canadian Meat Council, we export $3.19 billion worth of pork to 99 countries and $1.3 billion worth of beef to 71 countries.

Factor in the potential to become a meaningful net exporter of chicken and it becomes clear that meat production and export is a strong contributor to Canada’s prosperity.

As Canadians, we need to support our livestock industry and its ongoing international competitiveness. However, to stay competitive, our regulations must keep pace with the sector’s need for timely access to innovations while safeguarding our nation’s export and domestic markets.

A key issue facing Canadian producers is the accelerating global movement away from routine use of antibiotics for disease prevention and growth promotion.

Large meat buyers such as Costco, McDonald’s and Walmart have announced plans to require their meat suppliers to minimize use of antibiotics and provide reports on their progress, which will be made available to consumers. With such mainstream companies making the change, antibiotic-free production will soon become the new minimum export standard.

These moves to antibiotic-free production may seem sudden, but the United States and Canada are actually laggards on this issue. Other jurisdictions have already adopted laws to eradicate the routine use of medically important antibiotics in

Canada’s regulatory system may be holding back the country’s livestock industry as it prepares to compete in a market that is moving away from antibiotic use in food animals. | FILE PHOTO livestock. For example, the European Union has banned antibiotics for growth promotion for nearly 10 years, while South Korea has had a similar ban for almost five.

In fact, most nations now expect these bans, with even the United States and Canada committed to phasing them out by 2017.

So how will you keep your animals healthy and your customers happy two years from now?

Canadian producers are left with this serious question, but no clear answers.

For a time, it might be possible to stockpile antibiotics or get a veterinarian to “predictively” prescribe otherwise proscribed products. Perhaps lobbying could succeed in pulling the teeth from domestic prohibi-

tion regulations.

But what happens when it’s the customers saying “no more” even if the regulator turns a blind eye? Canada cannot hide from these changes if we hope to maintain and build our export markets.

This is why producers need access to new non-antibiotic disease prevention and growth promotion products that are safe, effective, economical and acceptable to customers.

Such products do exist; it’s just that they may not be available in Canada.

Producers around the world are now using or exploring alternatives to antibiotics, including organic acidifiers, botanical extracts, direct fed microbials, immune activators, natural immune primers, non-animal immunoglobulins, prebiotics,

toxin binders and vaccines. Some of these products were even invented in Canada, but most still aren’t available here and may never be.

Canadian producers’ lack of access to these new tools is largely because of the penchant for our regulations to view any bio-active feed ingredient as a drug.

Being branded as such brings crushing development and production costs and the risk that other national regulators might follow suit.

As a result, innovators simply won’t launch their products here.

This will put our meat producers at a growing disadvantage to every competing jurisdiction, including the U.S. and must be changed to prevent our producers from becoming globally uncompetitive anachronisms in a rapidly evolving world.

It is essential that we enable our food producers to not only survive but to thrive through this period of evolution. Our laws must enable and encourage the adoption of the new technologies that allow our producers to meet the global demand of antibiotic-free meat rather than stifle their progress.

This is no easy feat, but producers must embrace the present changes and advocate for regulatory updates to allow access to the technologies required for them to be leaders on the global stage.

CROP INSURANCE VERSUS GARS

Assessing Global Ag Risk Solution insurance HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

I

enrolled in Global Ag Risk Solutions this year and reduced my crop insurance yield coverage to 50 percent.

Was it a wise decision?

Even if you add up all the little showers, the farm has received little more than 25 millimetres of rain since the middle of April. There will be some crop, but it’s going to be meagre.

It’s tough to estimate, but I’m assuming my yields will come in at about half of my crop insurance long-term yield, so with the 50 percent coverage option, I’m likely to receive little or nothing from crop insurance.

If I had taken the top yield coverage

(80 percent on everything except chickpeas, which are a maximum of 70 per cent coverage), I’d probably be in line for a sizable crop insurance payment.

The difference between 50 percent yield coverage and the top yield coverage calculates to slightly more than $75 an acre on the mix of five different crops. Will GARS make up this difference?

I’ve just filed a preliminary estimate of yield, sales price and costs with the GARS administration.

GARS is a private gross margin insurance program. Within certain limits, it covers whatever you spend on seed, fertilizer and chemicals plus whatever margin above costs that you choose.

In my case, GARS covers my seed, fertilizer and chemical costs plus a margin of $100 an acre. The premium was $13.65 an acre.

Others will have a different premium depending upon their revenue history. Choosing a lower margin naturally lowers the premium.

Based on my pitifully low yield estimates, my market price esti-

mates and what I’ve spent on seed, fertilizer and chemical, my projected support from GARS comes to slightly more than $75 an acre, which coincidentally is equivalent to the money I won’t be getting from crop insurance.

Of course, if I’d have known in March that it was only going to rain 25 mm in the growing season, I’d have loaded up on GARS as well as taken full yield coverage under crop insurance.

The year isn’t over and my price and yield assumptions may be off the mark. However, at this point, it appears that enrolling in GARS and cutting crop insurance yield coverage is going to leave me at roughly the same financial position as maxing out on crop insurance and not enrolling in GARS. Still, there are a number of positive aspects to GARS. On some crops, I locked in prices back in March and April. Now prices are substantially higher. With GARS, I’ll be compensated for marketing decisions that ended up reducing my gross margin.

It’s also comforting to have support for making appropriate input spending decisions. I sprayed insecticide on most of the lentil acres to control grasshoppers. The economic threshold is just two hoppers per sq. metre and they’ll chew off just as many pods in a light crop as they will in a good crop.

If I had only crop insurance and was expecting to be in a claim position, spending money to control grasshoppers wouldn’t make economic sense. It’s money that wouldn’t be recouped.

GARS doesn’t cover the cost of application or my time in the sprayer, but at least the insecticide is covered, and that’s an incentive to make the correct agronomic decision.

There is also a perverse ramification to both crop insurance and GARS . Even though I don’t have hail insurance, a late season hailstorm would be the best financial result.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

R

eaders who visited The Western Producer’s website last week got an eyeful.

There was a lot to take in. Aside from the breaking news we run on our website — and there was plenty (35 stories on our daily news section last week) — we ran two live blogs: one on the Ag In Motion farm show near Langham, Sask., and one on the 2 0 1 5 C W B C ro p To u r t hat ra n throughout the Prairies.

Managing editor Mike Raine and our social media guru, Robin Booker, spent many hours at Ag in Motion, Glacier Farm Media’s first Saskatchewan outdoor farm show, July 21-23.

(Glacier also owns The Western Producer.)

Filing from the site was an interesting challenge at times because of limited cellphone reception, as I can attest when I attempted to tweet a photo of a tillage demonstration that left me covered in dirt, but Glacier had a wi-fi connection at its booth that kept us going.

With 200 exhibitors on 320 acres, Mike and Robin had a lot to work with. You can still check out their live blog. There are 35 photos posted from the Producer, as well as many more from others who posted under the #AIM15 hashtag. To see how the show went, visit bit.ly/1HGMXJt or www.producer.com and scroll down the news or video sections.

To cover the CWB Crop Tour, we had five reporters on the road: Brian Cross from the Saskatoon newsroom, Karen Briere from Regina, Mary MacArthur from our Camrose bureau, and Robert Arnason and Ed White in Manitoba.

They tweeted under the #cwbtour15 hashtag, so those interested in finding out how crops were doing across the Prairies in this difficult weather year could find out real time right from the spot of those observing.

Brian covered about 2,000 kilometres over three days, tweeting along the way.

Ed gave Twitter followers a good range of photos, including his tendency to showcase his well-known humour.

Mary also packed in a lot of photos in her Alberta section of the tour.

Robert kept us up to date on his tour through southern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan.

And Karen picked up from Swift Current to Regina, where the wrap-up presentation provided an analysis.

HIGHWAY NEEDS ATTENTION PRESERVE OUR WATER

To the Editor:

To the Editor:

Premier Brad Wall and his government should be ashamed of Highway 42 between Keeler and Brownlee.

This highway takes you to three resorts and the travel-trailers and motor homes that have to take the highway must be a disaster inside

The large pipeline spill in Alberta is a stark reminder of dangers of tar sands.

We, as humans, continue to pollute and destroy what all living things

them by the time they get to their destination.

They are going to rebuild the Highway 42 between Brownlee and Eyebrow, which is far better than the highway between Brownlee and Keeler.

The highway between Brownlee and Eyebrow could have been saved had they filled and resurfaced it while the break in the pavement is small, but they wait until it is a crater, then they have a greater expense.

Maybe some of these elected officials should come out and drive down Highway 42 (west of Keeler) but people that live west have no other choice.

The highway was to be started May 15 but by early July they had not started. Will they get it done before freeze up?

The NDP had this highway put back to gravel about 10 years ago and then we were going back to the 1950s.

Now, 10 years later, they are doing the same thing.

Premier Wall, shame on you and your crew.

In response to Frank Su’s article (WP July 9) regarding land ownership, I would have to disagree with him. When farmland ownership is opened up to anyone and everyone our local communities die.

Speaking as a 28-year-old, sixth generational farmer on a 116-yearold farm, the only reason I’m able to participate in this amazing industry is because of the generations before me. They worked tirelessly, selflessly, passed land down to younger generations. But most importantly, they bought land. When a farmer purchases land it becomes a multi-generational farm. When land is rented, rarely does the lease get passed down.

When family farms lose land ownership, we lose stability. Stability is the foundation of our small farming communities. When young farming families lose land ownership we lose the ability to become a multi-generational farm. Without multi-generational family farms, kids don’t return and the stability of the community is lost. The school board closes the school due to poor attendance.

Churches close, halls and rec centres become old and run down buildings that city dwellers take pictures of and upload onto their Instagram accounts. Within one or two generations the community dies.

Su says, “The current rules may help keep the ownership of farmland in the hands of farmers, but it is done at the expense of retiring farmers.” I would counter with the idea that those retiring farmers were once young farmers trying to buy land in the first place. He is thinking as an absentee landowner, not as a community member.

Owning the land I drive on is what will bring my three-year-old son back home to farm along beside me. I pray that the vast majority of farming fathers will have the same privilege.

NEONICOTINOIDS

Agronomist posts tweet showing neonic effectiveness; then the fun really began PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

Want to start a Twitter flurry? Post something about neonicotinoids

P

eople make claims on social media that are — how shall I put this delicately? — hard to verify.

I’m suspicious by nature and when I see a something online that stands outside my current understanding, I tend to see if the claim is grounded in anything beyond opinion or anecdotal evidence.

So my initial reaction was to postpone judgment when Gregory Sekullic tweeted a picture of a canola field, where half the picture is of canola treated with neonicotinoids and the other half of the picture is of canola not treated with neonicotinoids.

The reason for my suspicion was due to the stark contrast between the

two treatments that were both exposed to a flea beetle infestation.

The canola that was not treated with neonicotinoids was all but completely gone, while the treated canola, well, existed.

My belief is that neonicotinoids are effective in managing flea beetle infestations, but this picture shows a massive difference between the two treatments.

Sekulic is a Canola Council of Canada representative, a professional agronomist who has a reputation to protect. Which, in my opinion, gives the statement in his tweet (on the effectiveness of neonicotinoids)

some traction.

I read some of the replies to his tweet and couldn’t help but laugh a little: @moxy39 tweeted: “@SekulicCCC is the left side the sustainable farming I keep hearing about?” @EC_Kosters tweeted: “@SekulicCCC research & find a different method, humanity needs bee pollinated crops more than #canola.”

Sekullic @SekulicCCC replied: “@ EC_Kosters ...Canola IS a bee-pollinated crop. Our Beekeepers place

bees in canola. 70% of Canada’s honey comes from Canola.” @KarthikAghoram added his thoughts to the conversation: “@ SekulicCCC @geneticmaize Wonder what the bees think of the field on the left?”

There were, of course, more replies, with producers and agronomists who have seen similar patterns conversing with people concerned about the connection between neonicotinoids and the collapse of the bee population around cropland.

By the time I wrote this column, S eku lic ’s o r igina l pictu re wa s retweeted 333 times and gained 159 favorites.

I don’t know for certain whether neonicotinoids are as effective at combating flea beetle infestations as Sekullic’s picture suggests. However, I’m definitely leaning in that direction after seeing Sekullic’s tweet, as well as the reactions that producers and other agronomists had to it.

Order of Excellence goes to Alta. cattle producer Stan Grad succeeded in the oil industry and also founded a purebred operation that developed its own composite breed

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Stan Grad is a modest man who credits most of his success in business to a host of friends and mentors.

This fall, the Alberta rancher and oilman is receiving the Alberta Order of Excellence, the highest honour the province can bestow on a citizen.

The owner and founder of Soderglen Ranches, Canada’s largest purebred operation, had humble beginnings.

He was born in Vancouver in 1944, but the family moved to Alberta and he grew up on the northwest side of Calgary before the city sprawled into the countryside and displaced the nearby farms and dairies.

His father owned a motel where Grad and his sister helped, but the summers were spent working on a local dairy farm where he came to love cows and farming.

“I was so engrossed in the cattle business because as a young boy working on a dairy farm, I loved cattle. I was so keen and I had a reasonable eye for cattle,” he said.

“If I would have had the opportunity to go more into the ranching world, I am sure my life would have been different.”

Instead, he enrolled at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and earned a diploma in petroleum

technology before obtaining a petroleum engineering degree from the University of Wyoming.

His career in the energy business took him around the world. He is still active in the business and is a partner in Canyon Technical Services, Canada’s third largest hydraulic fracturing company.

Grad once served as president and chief executive officer of the Grad and Walker Energy Corp., which he founded with his partner, Willard Walker, a co-founder of Walmart.

The company was sold to Crestar Energy in 1997, and Grad later cofounded additional oil and gas initiatives.

However, oil wasn’t his only interest.

In 1972 he bought a quarter section of land near Airdrie, Alta., which eventually became the home base for Soderglen Ranches. The operation, which runs a breeding herd of 2,600 females, encompasses 22,500 acres on sites northwest of Airdrie, southwest of Fort Macleod and southeast of Cardston.

He relied on mentors and partners in those early days such as Walker, oilman and Charolais breeder Harvey Trimble and John Draper from Bar 5 Simmentals.

Grad started with Simmentals and worked with seven partners. Investments in cattle could be written off

people. The difference for me was I started with Simmental,” he said.

He and his wife, Jane, live at the Airdrie ranch.

Working with partners Scott and Elan Lees, the ranches at Airdrie, Fort Macleod and Cardston expanded to include Charolais, Simmental, Red and Black Angus and their own composite breed, the Red and Black Max line.

That line of cattle has been among their most successful among buyers in Western Canada, but it took time to create a hybrid that offered growth, consistency and most importantly, calving ease.

“It wasn’t anything magical. We just thought it was a better way. There was a lot of learning and there were a lot of culls. We learned the hard way,” he said.

Grad was a founding member of

the Calgary Stampede Foundation, served on the board of governors of Mount Royal College and was a director and chair of the Alberta Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society (STARS) for 14 years.

He was also a director with the Alberta Nature Conservancy Board, which reflected his involvement with Ducks Unlimited, Delta Water Fowl, Pheasants Forever and the Safari Club International.

SAIT awarded him with an honorary bachelor of applied technology degree, and he donated $7 million to the school’s capital campaign.

In 2012, he was selected as one of four laureates to be inducted into the Calgary Business Hall of Fame by Junior Achievement. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association has asked the federal government to implement tax deferrals for producers forced to sell livestock due to dry conditions.

President Doug Gillespie said today that recent rain has improved pasture conditions in some places, but it came too late for many hay crops.

“Livestock producers in several areas across Saskatchewan are reporting hay yields that are from 50 percent to 70 percent below normal, as well as poor growth on pastures,” he said.

“As a result, many producers could be forced to sell portions of their breeding herds.”

Hay is already in short supply, and prices are running at record high levels. Alfalfa-brome bales on the province’s feed and forage service are

listed at $200 per ton.

Tax deferrals have been implemented in the past. The federal government designates the eligible rural municipalities, and producers in those RMs can then defer part of the tax due on the sale of breeding animals to the following year.

This allows them to retain some cash to rebuild their herds.

Gillespie said the opening of 90,000 acres of provincial fish and wildlife development fund land for grazing and changes to crop insurance to use crops for greenfeed were welcome developments at the provincial level.

“We believe that implementing the livestock tax deferral provision will help ease the financial pain for producers that are selling into a depressed market for bred cows,” he said. karen.briere@producer.com

CAPACITY VERSUS SUPPLY

Grain union questions need for port expansion Grain Workers Union president says rather than increase capacity, improvements need to focus on logistics

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Grain workers at the port of Vancouver are watching planned developments there and questioning the need for more capacity.

Gerry Gault, president of the Grain Workers Union, said the proposed new G3 facility, plus expansions and upgrades at existing terminals, will put total capacity at 35 million tonnes within a couple of years.

“I don’t know what part of Canada they’re going to find 36 million or 35 million tonnes to send to the West Coast,” he told the Farming For Profit conference in June.

He said the six terminals at Prince Rupert and Vancouver will handle about 21 million tonnes this year, but their capacity is 25 million. Three facilities are under renovation, which will add another five to six million tonnes when complete. That puts total capacity, before the G3 terminal, at 26 to 28 million tonnes, he added.

If that facility ever gets properly managed again and they can do their 5.5 million tonnes and Richardson’s does their 1.5 million more, that’s 3.5 million more tonnes that’s got to go across that bridge before we even take a look at another eight million tonne facility that this group is proposing.

GERRY GAULT, GRAIN WORKERS UNION

Gault said the union worries about full-time jobs if excess capacity is available, but it also question the logistics.

The proposed eight million tonne terminal would be on the north shore along with Richardson and Cargill terminals. They sit on the Canadian National Railway line, where there is also an oil refinery that is planning to triple production.

“Instead of 80 vessels a year, they want to go to over 340 vessels a year,” he said.

Grain cars have to cross a bridge to get to the terminals, which must be raised to allow the oil ships through.

“How they’re going to get cars to the north shore with that bridge raised, none of us know,” he said.

As well, Richardson is upgrading its facility to 4.9 million tonnes from 3.4 million tonnes.

Cargill has the capacity for five million tonnes but will handle less than three million this year, Gault said. At the same time, the company has spent $160 million at its terminal improving automation.

“If that facility ever gets properly managed again and they can do their 5.5 million tonnes and Richardson’s does their 1.5 million more, that’s 3.5 million more tonnes that’s got to go

across that bridge before we even take a look at another eight million tonne facility that this group is proposing,” Gault said.

The union doesn’t think the bridge or the rail lines can handle that volume. He said the railways already aren’t servicing the terminals well and used the smallest, oldest terminal as an example.

The Alliance Grain terminal runs three shifts Monday to Friday on a Canadian Pacific Railway line.

“The railway cannot service them for 21 percent of those shifts.”

Gault believes that is a direct result of CP cutting 400 locomotives and 400 crews.

There are also issues on the water.

He said the former Canadian Wheat Board took an average of 3.5 moves to fill a vessel when it handled logistics.

The ship would come to port, go to a terminal and load, move to the next terminal with similar product and load, repeat as needed, and then leave. Now, it takes seven moves per vessel to load.

The ships go to a particular terminal, load what’s available and then return to anchor to wait for the same product at the same terminal, and so on until it is fully loaded.

“The average stay of a vessel used to be between seven to 10 days,” Gault said.

“Now the average is 21 to 28 days.

Last year we did have a vessel that stayed in the port of Vancouver for 65 days to load 55,000 tonnes. That just doesn’t seem to make sense to anybody.”

He said the union neither opposed nor supported the wheat board, but clearly something has to change.

Grain companies could voluntarily work together or be legislated to improve logistics.

“I don’t care how you do it,” Gault said.

“What is needed is for somebody to run a single desk for logistics. At the end of the year, after all the vessels are done, somebody write a cheque and pay everybody else off.” karen.briere@producer.com

POULTRY DISEASE

Bird flu rules may be lifted

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Restrictions to control avian flu in Ontario are being eased and may be removed by the end of July.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced last week that quarantines are no longer in effect in the avian influenza control zone in Ontario’s Oxford County.

The CFIA first detected H5 avian influenza in early April on a turkey farm near Woodstock, Ont. Approximately 45,000 birds were affected.

On April 18, the agency found a second case of bird flu at a chicken farm in Oxford County. The strain of the virus was more hazardous in that case, which involved 27,000 birds.

The CFIA said it was the “highly pathogenic” H5N2 avian influence.

A week later, the CFIA found another outbreak of H5N2 at a turkey farm, with 7,900 affected birds, again in Oxford County.

The CFIA said poultry on the three farms were euthanized.

The barns had been cleaned and disinfected by late June and early July in accordance with CFIA protocols.

The quarantines for zones around the first and third cases of bird flu are now lifted, but the CFIA is still monitoring the second case.

“The CFIA continues to issue permits for the movement of birds and bird products from this zone,” the agency said in a release.

“If no new detections of avian influenza are reported during the waiting period (21 days after disinfection), the quarantine for IP2 will be lifted on July 29 and the (final) avian influenza control zone will be removed.” robert.arnason@producer.com

COLONY LOSSES

Winter 2015 good for prairie beekeepers Ontario sees the highest colony losses at 37.8 percent

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Prairie beekeepers enjoyed the winter of 2015.

The Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, which tracks bee colony losses and releas-

es survey data every July, said only 11 percent of bee hives on the Prairies failed to make it through the winter.

Most apiarists say a 15 percent loss is economically acceptable.

Across Canada, the survey of 443 beekeepers determined that 16.4

percent of bee colonies didn’t survive the winter or the hives were too small to be viable.

For the second year in a row, losses in Ontario were significantly higher than other provinces. Ontario beekeepers lost 37.8 percent of their hives.

DROUGHT OF ’65

Eastern farmers get help from West 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: AUG. 1, 1940 The federal government finally responded to growing wheat marketing concerns caused by the war. The new measures included quota restrictions on deliveries, a 15 cent a bushel processing tax on wheat consumed in Canada, removal of the 5,000 bu. limit on deliveries to the Canadian Wheat Board and a storage allowance payable for wheat stored on farms. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool president John Wesson endorsed the

changes but still wanted the Winnipeg futures market closed until the crisis abated.

The wheat board eliminated Vancouver as a basis point for determining the guaranteed wheat price of 70 cents a bu., which Alberta Wheat Pool general manager R.D. Purdy said would cost Alberta farmers $2.5 million on the basis of last year’s crop.

50 YEARS AGO: JULY 29, 1965 A record crop was looming on the Prairies, although it was still not in the bin, as the front page headline so aptly reflected: “A huge crop if, if, if, if, if.”

Federal agriculture minister Harry Hays didn’t expect problems marketing the big crop because of strong demand, including expectations that 75 million bu. of feed wheat would be shipped east due to drought in Eastern Canada.

In response to that drought, the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration shipped eight irrigation units from the Prairies to eastern Ontario and western Quebec to irrigate cash crops, fill ponds and wells and relieve severe water shortages.

The National Swine Show wrapped up in Saskatoon July 22, and as writer Clyde McMurchy put it, “what a show it was!” The event attracted 500 entries of Landrace, Lacombes and Yorkshires from breeders in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and McMurchy wrote that it was generally agreed that the event’s strength and quality compared favourably with the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.

25 YEARS AGO: AUG. 2, 1990 The federal government’s year-long effort to develop a new set of national agriculture policies was in doubt after Quebec pulled away from all federalprovincial negotiations in which it was treated as an individual province.

Quebec made the decision to deal only one-on-one with Ottawa following the breakdown in the Meech Lake constitutional negotiations.

The federal government lifted prohibition orders on nine Saskatchewan branch lines that were to have been protected until 2000. They were Canadian Pacific Railway’s White

The railways said they wouldn’t abandon the lines until they first tried to arrange other means of providing grain handling services to farmers in affected areas.

RESPECTED RANCHER

Tiny but tough cowgirl packs big punch “She has a heart as big as the outdoors but you don’t want to make her mad.”

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CARMICHAEL, Sask. — It’s hard to reach Rita Wells at home because most days, she’s outside tending her stock.

She embraces an outdoor lifestyle and freely admits to liking horses more than people.

“They don’t talk back and are forgiving. You do something wrong with them and they forgive you two minutes later,” she said, easing her chin onto the face of her Paint horse, Skip.

“You’ve got to have horses when you have cows.”

The 81-year-old pasture rider, cow hand, 4-H light horse leader and trainer from southwestern Saskatchewan looks back at a long life in ranching, which includes nine years at the Elkink Ranch, one of the biggest ranches in the country at the time.

She also worked seven years at the Millie community pasture and six years at the Minor Ranch at Abbey, Sask.

Her attire has changed little from those days. Her tightly curled hair peeks out from beneath a cowboy hat, and a red checkered shirt is tucked into blue jeans adorned with a belt and postcard sized rodeo belt buckle.

Area rancher and feedlot operator Rick Toney said her fondness for horses was evident from signs found in her home, such as “horses are like potato chips, you can’t just have one” and “if heaven doesn’t have horses, I’m not going.”

Toney, who often calls on Wells to help at roundups, has admired her since he was a teenager when she was his riding club leader, and he watched her compete in rodeos, where she won three saddles.

“She was just a good cow hand,” said Toney.

Wells met her late husband, Garlin, through a horse sale and they raised a son and a daughter, spelling each other off so the other could work. “(The children) spent many a day in the stall while I was working,” Wells said.

“I took them on a horse, one on the front, one in the back.”

Both children learned how to be cow hands: her daughter lives on a cattle ranch at Irvine, Alta., and her son died in a highway accident.

Tyler Martens, who has stopped by her farm this day for coffee and conversation, said Garlin was probably a foot taller than the diminutive Wells.

He was a big, tough cowboy, but Wells could also stand her ground.

“What I know about Rita is she can handle herself and because of her abilities, she was respected,” he said.

“She’s tiny but she’s tough.”

Rita Wells worked on ranches and served as the Skyline Riders coach and a 4-H club leader. At 81, she keeps busy with horses and sheep on her ranch at Carmichael, Sask. | KAREN MORRISON PHOTOS Toney recalled an incident in the Tompkins bar when Wells punched a woman who was mouthing off to her and her granddaughter. “ ‘I cut my knuckles all to hell when I hit her,’ ” she told him later.

“She has a heart as big as the outdoors but you don’t want to make her mad.”

Wells recalls suffering few injuries while working with livestock.

“Most times, I stayed on top,” Wells said of her horse.

She always used a wonder drug for her animals’ ailments, a top secret family remedy.

Martens said Wells still rides and participated in as many as 13 brandings last year.

“They invite her because she works,” he said.

Wells received a lot of help from the herding dogs she trained and that are never far away.

Martens recalled how she and her horse carried as many as 36 sets of twin lambs into the barn from the pasture, a distance of almost a kilometre.

For many years, Wells coached the Skyline Riders, a horse club that performed patterns similar to the RCMP

Musical Ride. She was inducted into the Saskatchewan 4-H Hall of Fame in 2006 for her volunteer leadership.

Linda Cook, her neighbour, longtime friend and a former 4-H parent, praised Wells’ work with 4-H. “She taught them respect for things and how to do things on their own and take care of the animals the way they should be and have pride in what you’re doing,” she said.

Cook said Wells was comfortable among cowboys and working in a predominantly male workforce.

“I don’t know too many of them quite like her,” she said.

Toney said she was no nonsense both as a leader and a school bus driver. “”You obeyed and didn’t step out of line,” he said.

Today, the grandmother and greatgrandmother does her part to protect the burrowing owls on her property by not letting people disturb them.

Toney said Wells also continues to help at roundups, often pulling out her guitar to sing The Old Grey Mare around the campfire.

“She is a real character.” karen.morrison@producer.com

SATISFYING CELEBRATION

FINANCIAL ABUSE, THEFT

Protecting the vulnerable A PRAIRIE PRACTICE

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

W

hat can be done about financial abuse of vulnerable people? This column shows how to detect it and what to do about it.

Signs of financial abuse include: • Bills are left unpaid/notices of eviction or shut-off utilities arrive.

• Unexplained withdrawals from, or transfers between, bank accounts.

• Bank statements stop coming.

• Valuable objects go missing.

• Unexplained mail and credit offers.

• Mailing address changed to somebody else’s home or office.

• Phone number disconnected and new number unlisted.

• Large purchases.

• Unexplained change in the Old Age Security payment .

• Statements made that they do not have enough money anymore for groceries or prescriptions, when previously they did.

• The adult mentioning new names of people helping them out or reporting paying an unusually high amount for yard work or other chores.

• Unusual gifts being given to a caregiver.

• No response to phone calls, not answering the door.

• Seeing the adult at the bank with someone you don’t recognize.

• Cancellation of pre-paid funeral arrangements or life insurance policies with cash value.

• Large cash withdrawals, cheques made out to cash, low bank balances, large credit card transactions.

• A new best friend and isolation from other friends and family.

• Newly formed bank accounts or names added to bank accounts.

• Names unexpectedly added to

land titles and vehicle ownership documents.

• Changing from direct deposit of pension cheques to a paper cheque.

• Fear of caregivers or others who assist the adult.

Many of the events described above can be properly done by somebody who has been given a power of attorney. But when there are signs that a vulnerable adult is being abused, either by the person with power of attorney or someone else, a number of steps can be taken.

Talk frankly to the adult with other family members and/or professionals who know the adult and are trusted.

If appropriate, assist the adult to ask the person with power of attorney to give a full accounting.

A power of attorney can be revoked by the adult, he has the mental capacity to do so, or by the court. He can also resign.

Obtain consents of the adult to get information from banks, doctors and other professionals. If abuse is suspected, alert banks and other institutions.

In most provinces, the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee can assist. In Saskatchewan, that office can help get an accounting from a power of attorney, conduct an investigation, and where deemed necessary, freeze an adult’s accounts pending an investigation.

Court applications are possible to remove powers of attorney and appoint guardians in their place.

Police investigations can also take place where warranted.

These steps must be taken carefully and wisely so a lawyer’s help is strongly recommended.

For more information, see the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee in Saskatchewan’s booklet, Minimizing the Risk of Financial Harm to Vulnerable Adults.

REASONS FOR CUTTING

Self-harm may be linked to drugs, sexual abuse Q: SPEAKING OF LIFE A small group of teenage girls from our local high school is into cutting themselves. As much as they try to hide the scars on their arms and probably elsewhere, they can’t. And most of us know that this is going on but none of us understand it.

M A K E Y O U R O W N G E T AWAY STOP DREAMING

12720 - 126 Avenue, Edmonton, Ab. | 1.877.854.2224

Why anyone on the verge of coming into life, leaving home, getting jobs, maybe even going to university, would waste their valuable time cutting and otherwise following a suicidal path is beyond me. Is there any rationale to this at all?

A:

You are raising a concern that is shared by many. We seem to have a wave going on among young people where many are either cutting themselves or causing self-harm.

Studies tell us that about one in five girls between the ages of 14 and 20 have chosen self-harm. About one in seven boys have done the same.

This is not necessarily a suicidal thing. Young people who try suicide are challenging their right to live. For kids who cut or hurt themselves, the goal is to create pain. They are under the impression that the pain that they feel physically is more tolerable than the emotional or psychological pain with which they are living.

I am not convinced that our professional advisers fully understand what leads young people into selfharm.

Some researchers report that at least 50 percent of those who hurt themselves have been victims of sexual abuse. Others say that they have likely had frustrating and challenging childhoods.

Other researchers talk about sub-

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW stance abuse, eating disorders and impulsive and emotional personality disorders.

What is known for sure is that cutting, and some other forms of selfharm, are learned behaviours. Kids pick up the ideas either from other young people, television shows or preventive programs.

Any self-harm is a serious problem.

Cutting can cause permanent scars and serious infection and can end with deadly results.

If you run into young people who are into cutting, try to take a deep breath before you do anything. The goal is to get them into the mental health system. They will not go there if they think that you are judging them or overreacting.

Be calm and patient and try to encourage them to either see their doctor or call a mental health team for support.

ON THE FARM

Growers pin success on alternative crops Hemp seed is being touted for its health benefits and sales are soaring

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

DAUPHIN, Man. —Chris Dzisiak can almost propel a rock from the front door of his home to the oneroom schoolhouse where he took Grades 1, 2 and 3.

Chris, in his late 50s, still lives in his childhood home. Although he hasn’t ventured far from his roots, he has probably lived a riskier and more adventurous life than people who have travelled to 50 countries.

Chris has farmed north of Dauphin for almost 39 years and recorded a lot of firsts over the last four decades.

He’s been an early adopter throughout his career and consistently one of the first farmers in Manitoba to try an unproven crop.

“We always grew alternatives. We tried winter canola … we grew (fababeans) … we tried triticale in 1978, 1979,” said Chris, who farms with his wife, Nadine, on land formerly owned by his parents.

“You always looked for alternatives to what everyone else was doing. If you were the first one into something new or novel, as long as it wasn’t too risky, the higher returns usually came to the first (adopters).”

Of all the unique crops he’s tried, Chris has had the most success with hemp.

He became one of the first producers in Canada to grow substantial acres of industrial hemp, following the federal government’s decision to legalize production in 1998.

Seventeen years later, Chris remains heavily involved in Canada’s hemp industry. He chairs the Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers (PIHG), a producer owned co-operative that produces and markets

hemp seed and fibre.

On an unsettled June afternoon while a brief shower passed over the farm, Chris sat on a wicker chair inside a screened-in porch. Three dogs took shelter under the eave outside the porch as Chris talked about the PIHG and how he became a leader in Canada’s hemp industry.

After graduating from high school in Dauphin, Chris studied agriculture at the University of Manitoba with a plan to return home and farm with his older brother, Phil.

Chris’s younger brothers, Rob, Dave and Rick, were also U of M aggies. Dave helped develop Nexera canola for Dow Agrosciences, Rick worked in risk management for the Canadian Wheat Board and Rob has spent most of his career in the commodity trade.

Chris met Nadine at the university, where she was pursuing a graduate degree in English.

She grew up in Ottawa but adjusting to life in rural Manitoba wasn’t particularly difficult.

NADINE & CHRIS DZISIAK Dauphin, Man. “I did have some farm relationships. My father came from the farm and every second year we drove from Ottawa to Hazelridge, Man., to visit with relatives,” said Nadine, who taught at the kindergarten to Grade 12 school in Grandview, Man. for 27 years before retiring in 2011.

“It wasn’t a jarring experience (to move to Dauphin) by any stretch.”

Chris and Phil farmed together until 1988, when Phil died in a boating accident.

Chris and his brother always believed in the value of a diverse farm operation, so they included unique crops like fababeans in their rotation.

The novel crops also provided an opportunity to learn.

“It always made it interesting to get into something new,” said Chris, who used to farm about 2,500 acres but has cut back in recent years.

The hemp opportunity arrived when a fledgling hemp enterprise, Consolidated Growers and Processors, approached farmers in his region in the late 1990s.

The firm was looking for growers to supply a proposed processing plant in Manitoba.

Commodity prices were low and handful of area producers decided hemp was worth the risk.

“We said OK, we’ll put together some growers,” Chris said. “We (PIHG) will take care of the production end and you guys focus on the other end (sales).”

Consolidated Growers eventually went bankrupt but hemp established a foothold in the region. By 2001, area farmers were growing more than 12,000 acres of hemp.

The PIHG eventually forged a business relationship with other hemp processors, including Manitoba Harvest in Winnipeg.

Hemp fibres were expected to be the primary market but Chris thought hemp seed would also catch on.

“We also knew, fairly early, that the oil from the nut was going to be really good…. Good for your skin and good for eating.”

Hemp seed is now touted as superseed for its nutritional properties. U.S. sales of hemp foods and body care products reached $200 million last year.

Nadine said they try to eat hemp seed every day. They add it to breakfast cereal, salads and smoothies.

“The recommended dose is like four to five tablespoons per day,” she said. “We’ve reached an age where heart, cholesterol and all that has become important.”

Besides growing and marketing hemp, growers in the Parkland started a plant breeding program in 2002.

They have registered six varieties for grain and/or fibre production.

Chris said the co-operative’s expertise in hemp production and varieties has helped build relationships with U.S. farmers.

Producers in Kentucky are now growing PIHG hemp varieties in experimental plots.

“We have a national distributor of our varieties in the U.S. now,” Chris said. “I’d like to see the Parkland varieties successfully adapted in the U.S. I think that would be a real (achievement).”

Since retirement, Nadine has worked as a substitute teacher and a principal in the local school division.

Now that they’re semi-retired, she would like to travel more, but she knows it’s hard for Chris to leave the farm and his passion for agriculture.

For his part, Chris hopes he can play a role in the revival of hemp. He’s been a leader in the hemp industry for nearly two decades but his enthusiasm for the crop hasn’t waned.

“How many times do you get to be involved in something (like this)? It’s like being involved in canola in the late 1960s,” he said. “I’m not saying hemp is going to be as big as canola but it will become a major crop … in Western Canada.” robert.arnason@producer.c om

M

y favourite time of year is when British Columbia fruit from cherries to apples arrives at the markets.

Fruit is an excellent source of dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals.

It makes a quick and healthy snack, a variety of desserts or condiments with the main course.

Enjoy them fresh or preserve by canning, freezing or pickling.

PICKLED CHERRIES WITH FIVE SPICE Traditional Chinese five spice is a combination of star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon and fennel.

This works well with the sweetness of cherries. Frozen cherries work as well as fresh. When working with acids such as vinegar, use non-reactive bowls and pots such as glass or stainless steel.

Serve these cherries with pork, duck or a cheese and meat tray.

Bring the liquid to a boil, fill jars with cherries, leaving room for liquid.

Pour liquid over the cherries, leaving a headspace of 1/4 inch. Top with a new canning lid and finger tighten a ring.

Process in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. Remove from water bath and cool overnight. Store in a cold room or pantry for a month before using. Makes about three pints (3–500 mL jars).

GRILLED PEACHES WRAPPED IN SERRANO It’s salty and sweet with a tang.

RESEARCH COUNCIL

Sask. fermentation facility puts specialized microbes to work Microbes can be used in the mining, oil and gas sectors

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

When most people hear the word fermentation, they think about products of fermentation that are known and loved around the world, namely fine wines and beer.

Researchers at the Saskatchewan Research Council have a slightly different perspective.

When they hear the word fermentation, they think about industrial applications and the development of highly specialized microbial products that are used in the agriculture, health, mining and oil extraction industries.

“The industrial application of microbial systems offers tremendous opportunity to heal, feed and fuel the world,” said Phillip Stephan, SRC’s vice-president of strategic initiatives.

“But there are very few facilities in a

position to enable the development, demonstration and commercialization of microbial technologies.”

The SRC and the National Research Council announced a strategic partnership July 13 that will allow comanagement of the SRC’s state-ofthe-art fermentation facility at Innovation Place in Saskatoon.

The fermentation facility has been around since the late 1990s and has assisted with the development of ground-breaking products and processes. For example, work conducted at the facility played a key role in establishing the province’s grain ethanol industry and improving its production processes. It also helped develop agricultural inoculants that improved crop yields.

As well, it helped develop animal vaccines and plant inoculants, and in conjunction with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, conducted criti-

Going forward, researchers at the facility see growing opportunities in the mining and oil and gas sec-

tors. They believe fermentation can be used to develop specialized microbial products capable of removing toxic substances from mine tailings and oil industry byproducts.

There is even the potential to develop products that will improve crude oil extraction processes by reducing the costs of extraction processes and minimizing their environmental impact.

In a nutshell, the partnership between SRC and NRC will help the facility more closely work with private industry and develop new products that are more effective and more environmentally friendly.

The two councils are already talking about the potential for expansion in the event that the demand for fermentation services grows beyond the facility’s capacity.

The other publicly operated fermentation facility in Canada that offers similar capabilities is located in Alberta. However, the Alberta facility is a larger operation, and the services it offers are aimed at a different segment of the market.

“The sharing (between SRC and NRC) of this world class fermentation facility right here in the middle of Saskatchewan’s biotech cluster will continue to enable the transition of basic

research into applies technology and true innovation,” said Stephan.

Added Roman Szumski, the NRC’s vice-president of life sciences: “This partnership will allow us to provide service to Canadian companies working on bio-based specialty chemicals and specialty health products and those that are looking to transform biomass into valuable products.”

SRC president Laurier Schramm said the partnership will give the fermentation experts at the Saskatoon facility access to complementary lab facilities and expertise at NRC’s operations in Saskatoon and Montreal.

“There are capabilities that we already have at SRC, but we need the resources of another partner to be able to take significant steps in a reasonable period of time,” he said.

Shramm said 75 to 85 percent of the work conducted at the fermentation facility is contract research and development, conducted for private sector industries or other government agencies or consortiums.

Much of the work conducted at the facility is aimed at scale-up projects that have already been proven at the laboratory level but are not yet ready for large-scale industrial production. brian.cross@producer.com

The low bush blueberry development program in Nova Scotia is receiving $1.09 million in federal funding over three years.

The program is intended to improve production techniques such as harvesting and pruning and expand the cultivation of wild blueberries.

The wild blueberry is the No. 1 fruit crop in acreage and export sales in Nova Scotia. It comprises more than half the value of all fruit production, which was worth $34.1 million in the province last year

NEW CRUSHER

Cargill opens canola refinery in Sask.

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A study has found that dairy cows prefer to find a secluded location before giving birth. | FILE PHOTO LIVESTOCK

Dairy cows treasure their privacy Producers could use the research findings to meet cows’ preferences and reduce calving problems

BY MARGARET EVANS FREELANCE WRITER

Dairy cows prefer privacy when calving, a recent study has found.

Given a choice, dairy animals will seek a more secluded location with firm footing before giving birth. The findings may be useful to dairy producers because meeting animal preferences could lower the number of stillbirths, birthing injuries or difficult births.

The published study was conducted by Marina von Keyserlingk and a team of researchers at the University of British Columbia’s Dairy Education and Research Centre in Agassiz.

“I think that one of the most valuable pieces of information is that despite generations of being housed in free

stalls, dairy cattle still elect to remove themselves from the herd in the hours before calving,” said von Keyserlingk.

“This simple fact requires us to give some thought to how we manage cows during parturition and possibly question some of the routine practices that are in place today.”

Cows’ preference for seclusion at calving is well known in beef herds but less was known about cows housed in confined spaces. von Keyserlingk and her team set up three experiments to let indoor Holstein dairy cows choose where to calve.

The first test pen had an 18 sq. metre open area and a 15 sq. metre walled area with an entrance. Thirteen of 16 cows that gave birth during the day chose the enclosure. Those that calved at night showed no preference.

Von Keyserlingk said calving in groups is becoming more common on larger dairy farms. It’s possible that practice causes more distress for cows, increasing the risk of disease.

In a second experiment, 19 cows were placed in a pen next to other cows. The maternity pen had half its facing wall covered.

Of the 19, 15 cows calved in the covered side, indicating an instinct to hide. That experiment showed relatively simple barn adjustments could suit cows’ instincts.

“This is why we ran the second study, (to) show that cows that move to a maternity pen showed a strong preference to calving in a corner that prevented other cows from seeing them. In my opinion this is a very practical solution for many

farmers (and) easy to implement, said von Keyserlingk.

In the third experiment, cows were given a choice of concrete, pebbletop rubber mats or 10 centimetres of sand. Each was covered with straw.

Of 17 cows in the study, 10 calved on sand, six on concrete and one on rubber mats. Cows avoided the rubber mats on the day before calving.

Researchers noted urine and feces make the mats slippery and cows want a stable surface.

According to von Keyserlingk, cows and heifers stand and lie down about 20 times in the hours before calving so non-slip flooring is important.

Von Keyserlingk said no one has studied whether meeting cow preferences at calving reduces stillbirths or injuries but it would be a useful project.

Cargill continues to expand its footprint in the canola business.

Shortly after opening its new crush facility in Camrose, the company unveiled its first canola refinery in Clavet, Sask.

The new facility has the capacity to refine 454 million kilograms of canola oil annually, making it Cargill’s largest North American refinery.

“This new refinery means everything, from the canola seed grown to specialty consumer oils we refine, are being produced right here in Canada, further highlighting Cargill’s commitment to Canada’s canola industry,” Scott Portnoy, corporate vice-president and platform leader for Cargill Food Ingredients and Systems, said in a news release.

The announcement comes on the heels of the grand opening of the company’s Camrose crush facility, which has the capacity to crush one million tonnes of canola seed annually, bringing the company’s total crush capacity to 2.5 million tonnes.

It also makes Cargill the biggest crusher in Canada.

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart applauded the company for upgrading its Clavet crush facility. “ This new refiner y is a prime example of the opportunity that exists in the value-added sector, and we commend Cargill for their continued investment in our province and building on the incredible success of our agriculture and processing industry,” he said in a news release.

Cargill said 100 jobs were created during the construction phase of the refinery, and 30 new permanent positions were created to operate the plant. sean.pratt@producer.com

FARMING ADVOCATE

Turkey farmer uses social media to keep public informed Brent Royce of Listowel, Ont., grew up around dairy cows, but 20 years ago he decided to make the switch to turkeys

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Brent Royce makes a point of snapping photos as he goes about his daily checks on his Ontario turkey farm.

When he has another moment, he posts the photos on Twitter along with some information. He does the same thing during the cropping season.

“Keeping an eye out, I try to keep a broad spectrum of followers,” said Royce.

It was this focus on promoting agriculture that earned him this year’s Farm & Food Care Champion Award.

Royce supplies 15,000 turkeys a year to Canadian homes, mainly in the Toronto area, for the festive seasons and fresh markets.

He also grows 400 acres of winter leeks, corn, soybeans and white navy beans.

Royce, who was born and raised in

Listowel, Ont., grew up around dairy cows. However, he decided 20 years ago to make a change and raise turkeys. Today, his farm operation consists exclusively of turkeys and crops.

Royce made the switch because his barns were getting old.

“At that point in time, we were fighting a losing battle with technology and science,” he said.

“It’s amazing what happens in 20 years.”

He tried raising chickens, but the barn’s ventilation wasn’t good enough.

However, it would work well for turkeys.

Royce said he is happy to receive the award.

“It’s an award that is based on people that stand up and support agriculture, who try and do the best to promote agriculture and raise issues.”

Royce was chosen by the Turkey Farmers of Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for social media, phone interviews, the promotion of agriculture and community involvement.

“With us being the minority one to two percent of the population, in talking with non-agriculture people, you really get the understanding that people want to know more, but they don’t understand,” said Royce.

“They don’t know where to get the right information.”

So Royce set out to fill that void.

“We knew we had good facilities here, a spot to show them, an opportunity to promote agriculture and put it in its true light and not the misinformation that often gets put out there,” he said.

Biosecurity concerns made it impossible to bring people onto the farm was out of the question, so

Royce used a cornucopia of technology, from videos to blogs to tweets, to bring the farm to the people.

“We don’t have many people on our grounds at all,” said Royce.

“Because of biosecurity, we mostly service everything ourselves. Very few people come in, as is the case with most farms in the area. I would encourage anybody to do it. If you want agriculture to be seen as it really is, we need everyone to speak up and shout out honestly, in a professional manner.”

Most of his followers are regular, everyday Canadians.

“I post just general family things we do,” Royce said.

“We know it’s not all glamour. We wouldn’t do it if it were all glamour.

We enjoy the other part of it. We share the life of a farmer.”

However, Royce advised not overdoing or under-doing it. Instead, keep it simple.

“Soon enough, media will start contacting you and asking about controversial issues,” said Royce.

“Keep it in a polite professional manner. I think that is one thing farmers really have to remember. If they do engage in that, they have to keep it professional. We can’t get into name calling and making ourselves looks bad.”

He said social media is a good way for farmers to promote themselves, but they must also be willing to talk to people, whether at a grocery store or in front of an audience.

“But, after you do it dozens of times, that is where you really have the opportunity to engage people, engaging and informing non-agricultural people,” he said.

“We need to put a face to farming, not hide behind our barn doors or our tractor cabs. Let people really know we are just human, just people.

Don’t be afraid to take a challenge.”

EUREKA PROJECT

Tech incubator helps entrepreneurs The centre helps businesspeople develop their dreams so they can take them to the next level

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A Winnipeg business incubator is teaching entrepreneurs how to take their dream to the next level.

“The Eureka Project mandate is to help what I like to call ‘passionate creators of technology or widgets commercializing their inventions,’ ” said Gary Brownstone, who until recently led the project.

Some of the companies the project has helped are seeing returns in the tens of millions of dollars.

Clients include scientists, engineers and computer programmers who have developed or are developing some kind of new technology.

They typically have little or no business exper ience, which is where Brownstone and his team come in.

“Our team has expertise with taking this technology to market, finding customers and helping the founder build companies around technology,” said Brownstone.

When Brownstone finished his schooling, he became involved with companies poised for growth but that needed professional management and someone to shepherd them through the process.

“When I was recruited into this

position, I saw the opportunity to do that over and over and over again, to help small companies through that first phase of growth, help get them on some solid footing for the future,” said Brownstone.

“Ideas are easy and execution is difficult … so a lot of companies for a variety of reasons will not succeed in actually commercializing their technology or not commercializing it to a degree that it’s a viable business.”

Brownstone asks three questions when someone comes to the Eureka Project with an idea to determine whether he will be able to work with them: • Is the technology real? Depending on the technology, Brownstone might use his close working relationship with the University of Manitoba to answer that question.

• Is the individual or team capable?

Do they have the talent to run with the idea? Are they coachable in terms of their own capabilities and capacity? What are their skill sets and backgrounds?

• Can a market be identified? There is no point developing technology if there are no customers for it.)

“In our line of work, because of the backgrounds of the people coming in the door, that’s the question that they

most overlook,” said Brownstone.

“They tend to look at the world as technology push instead of market pull. We try to turn that conversation around really early on. If you were to come in the door, we’d go through the three questions and satisfy ourselves that the answers are ‘yes,’ ‘yes’ and ‘yes.’ ” Brownstone has developed a sliding scale that allows clients to pay as little as a couple hundred dollars a month for the service in the beginning.

“We really want to remain accessible to those that have the best likelihood of becoming (successful),” he said.

“In order to do that, we try to keep our fees as low as possible so that money isn’t really a barrier for them working with us. So we offset a lot of the costs of delivering services to our clients because we built a very strong, broad base of support. We get financial help from the province of Manitoba (and) we get some financial help from the U of M. We’ve built a very broad sponsorship program so that the corporate community supports us and our clients.”

Companies that start to grow begin hiring staff and gradually start paying more of the real cost.

“It kind of puts the pressure on us to

deliver what we promise we deliver when they come in the door,” said Brownstone.

“If we are able to help them finance and grow their companies, they should be able to pay us a little bit more for what we do.”

Agro-tech is one of Eureka’s three main categories, which includes functional food and nutraceuticals.

“They are finding ways to take out of legumes that which is good from legumes and add it into foods that are more commonly eaten,” said Brownstone.

“They are finding ways to take foliate out of broccoli and put it into chocolate chip cookies. They are tr ying to put components into foods to target specific health challenges.”

The project also invests in food processing technologies, but “we’re not talking about foods or making granny’s best jam,” Brownstone said.

“It leads to one of our success stories, a company we used to work with, Canadian Prairie Garden Puree Products Inc., now located in Portage la Prairie. They developed a very unique process for pureeing vegetables so that they can be used in soup and juice bases for companies like Campbell’s that make a lot of soups and juices.”

The world has long understood that healthy soils mean healthy crops, but the link after that, to human health, can sometimes go unnoticed.

“We know soil health is very closely linked to human health through food security and the nutrients it provides for us,” said Lara Moody of the Fertilizer Institute from the United States.

The institute joined the Canadian Fertilizer institute, Agriculture Canada and soil conservation organizations to talk about stewardship of the soil and what can be done to help the world’s undernourished people.

Responsibility for maintaining soil quality and ultimately paying for it was among the questions discussed at the international stewardship symposium held in Calgary July 14-15.

Farmers may run soil tests on fertility, but perhaps universities and government could play a larger role in assessing the complex properties, said Barbara Cade-Menum, a soil scientist at Agriculture Canada’s research centre in Swift Current, Sask.

It is in the interest of the public to have healthy soil, but taxpayers may not want to pay for it, she added.

“Who monitors things like longterm soil properties?” she said.

Improving soil health in developing countries requires more education for the world’s small-scale farmers who may work less than an acre of land with a hoe.

“It is very important (that) when we talk about improving soil quality, we talk about the human aspect,” said Hlami Ngwenya of South Africa, who works with the Global Rural Advisory Services, a non-governmental organization.

Work needs to start from the ground up by teaching these farmers about the benefits of improved soil so that they can grow better crops, she said.

However, it is also known that they may try new ideas once and then revert back to the old practices when the problem goes away.

Ngwenya said a lack of government money to deliver extension programs is a major barrier to getting information to farmers.

“Are the policy makers aware of the creativity that is needed to work with small-holder farmers?” she said.

As well, many well-meaning nongovernment organizations (NGOs) work with farmers but too often they leave after a project has been completed rather than providing continuing support.

The One Acre Fund, which is based in Kenya, plans to work in East Africa as long as people want its services, said Laurence Dare, who has been stationed in Nairobi.

This non-profit group works in Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi with ambitions is to grow by one country a year in the region starting with Ethiopia, Uganda and Malawi.

“It is essentially a business model, and we hope to get closer to cost recovery so we don’t have to ask donors for any money.”

The agency signs contracts with farmers and lends seed, fertilizer and other inputs.

“We never give out any money at all,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Summer research jobs never boring

Anthrax cases prompt call for vaccinations

Student employees at ag research centres are there for the science, but there are also burgers to flip

BY ED WHITE

BY WILLIAM DEKAY

WINNIPEG BUREAU

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CARMAN, Man. — The university summer students who work at research centres across Western Canada spend their days in scientific pursuits, whether they be weighing plants, counting weeds or mapping crop plots.

However, they also have duties that are less agronomically focused, such as making and holding parking signs, flipping burgers and hot dogs and wiping down wet seats so farmers on crop tours don’t get wet bums.

“It’s fun, actually,” said Brandon University music education student Emily Hodge as she worked in the University of Manitoba’s research farm kitchen organizing hot dog buns, coleslaw and other barbecue supplies for the dozens of farmers who were arriving for the organic field tour July 15.

“It’s nice being outside.”

Earlier that day, Hodge had been doing biomass weighing and plant counts in the research farm’s hundreds of plots.

Out on the front driveway, third year University of Manitoba agronomy student Zhen Cai from Sichuan, China, held a sign pointing left.

Usually he’s “exploring different options in farming systems and agriculture” with academic researchers, but he becomes a cheery traffic cop when farmers arrive for a crop tour.

“This is just one of my gigs,” he said with a chuckle.

Bailey Rankine, a master’s student in biological sciences at the University of Manitoba, is examining a wide range of environmental impact reactions, including lodging and disease damage, as part of Agriculture Canada’s organic oat studies at the Carman farm.

But on this evening she’s carrying hot dog buns to her fellow summer students working the grills outside.

“It’s busy,” she said.

At the grills, Chase Kendall and Jeremy Wiebe were flipping burgers and hot dogs in clouds of barbecue smoke.

A provincial surveillance veterinarian is hoping producers are vaccinating their livestock from anthrax after confirmation of two bison deaths at a ranch northwest of North Battleford, Sask., July 8.

Seven more bison also died in the same herd within 72 hours, and it’s suspected the bacterial disease is the culprit.

“One of the first things producers can do is put their animals on antibiotics (penicillin and tetracycline), which anthrax will respond to,” said Wendy Wilkins of Saskatchewan Agriculture.

“That may prevent further immediate deaths, but what needs to be done for longer-term protection of the animals is vaccination every year.”

Wilkins, her colleagues and affected producers can only speculate w h e re t h e a nt h ra x o r i g i nat e d because there have been no recorded instances of it in the immediate area.

“This was in a place where we’ve never seen anthrax before to our knowledge,” she said.

“It is only a couple of RMs on either side where there’s been anthrax, but in this particular location, no anthrax.”

Wilkins theorizes that localized flooding in previous wet years may have transported the resilient and long-living spores to new ground.

Changes in soil moisture, from flooding to drying, can lead to an increase of the spores on pastures.

They can also build up in sloughs and potholes.

Saskatchewan Agriculture says risk of animal exposure to anthrax increases in drier years when areas dry up and become accessible.

Spores can also surface when the ground is excavated or during excessive run-off.

Wilkins said buffalo create big clouds of dust as they wallow in the dry earth.

“Theoretically, it is possible that they managed to open up an old anthrax site,” she said. william.dekay@producer.com

Wiebe, a pre-veterinary student at the University of Winnipeg, said he’s loving getting dirt under his fingernails with real crops because he’s

from a non-farm background.

“It’s very interesting. I’ve never got to experience a full growing season before,” he said.

What’s a potential veterinarian doing working at a crop research farm?

“The vet schools really (value) the agriculture experience,” said Wiebe.

The students work with both conventional and organic plots, and Hodge said the organic ones take a lot more labour because weeds can’t be sprayed.

“It’s full days of weeding sometimes,” she said. ed.white@producer.com

HORSE COMPETITION

Five-year-old Alberta girl wows trick riding community

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Five-year-old Piper Yule doesn’t have any secrets for her success in winning trick riding competitions, but she loves to ride horses — the faster the better.

Arguably the best in the world for her age, Piper recently won the Canadian and U.S. national title in the peewee division for 12 years and younger.

“She likes to go really fast,” said her mother Kelsey Yule, whose family farms near Wardlow, Alta.

“I think that’s probably what sets her apart, is her speed.”

Growing up on a working ranch, Piper was riding horses soon after she learned how to walk.

“Our community events are horse focused, so it’s really second nature,”

Piper Yule is on top of the tricking riding world. | Kelsey said.

“She’s really confident and just kind of a little horseman.”

SUPPLIED PHOTO

Kelsey said Piper had to first win over her and husband Wes before she could compete in the dangerous

sport, which is known for its daring and gravity defying moves. They were naturally afraid of their daughter getting hurt.

However, Piper’s poise, desire and natural horsemanship gave them the confidence to move forward with her training.

“We just got to the point where she was hanging off the side of her horse when we were riding anyways,” she said. “If she was doing it regardless, we wanted her to learn it as safely as she could.”

So at age four, Piper was enrolled in weekly, three-hour trick-riding classes with coaches Rae-Lynn Armstrong and Niki Flundra, both longtime and well-respected trick riding champions.

Armstrong believes Piper is someone to keep an eye on in the sport.

“Piper’s definitely got the talent for

it. For her age, she is very self-driven,” she said.

Piper may get the glory, but one of the keys to great trick riding is having a solid horse.

“She’s mounted very well. She’s got great horses that are a baby-sitter to her,” said Armstrong.

Piper’s natural abilities, along with her training and confidence, shone through while recently competing in the U.S. National International Trick Riding Competition in Lindale, Texas. She rode a mustang horse named Dollar for the first time with less than a half hour to practice.

She competed against the top 15 girls in the United States in the peewee division and won.

“It was really exciting because I got first place and I beat the big girls.” william.dekay@producer.com

HASKAP BERRIES

Orchard satisfies diversification plan, tastebuds Couple enjoys healthy venture, which they hope will encourage their children to join the business

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

RIO GRANDE, Alta. — Kreg Alde eliminated everything he didn’t like when he was searching for a way to diversify the fourth generation farm.

He didn’t like cows, horses, sheep or pigs.

“I always have been fond of berry picking,” said Alde, who went in search of the right berry for the northern Alberta orchard.

He eliminated the iconic saskatoon because of its seeds, mealy texture, disease problems and marketing troubles.

He settled on haskap, which Alde believes will be the berry of the future.

“They’re the most nutritious berry going,” said Alde, who now has 17,000 haskap bushes on 35 acres, the largest haskap orchard in Alberta.

“Saskatoons and blueberries are a thing of the past.”

Haskap contains high levels of vitamin C and anti oxidants. The berries grown in Canada were developed at the University of Saskatchewan.

It is also one of the first berries to ripen in the spring, hitting the prime spring market when customers are looking for local, juicy fruit. It freezes well for baking and fruit toppings.

“A berry is a berry, but they come to life when you put them in food or in a liqueur,” said Alde, who operates Broken Tine Orchard with his wife, Lee-Anne.

The orchard, at the west end of Grande Prairie County down kilometres of gravel road, is too far away

from Grande Prairie to be a successful U-pick operation. Instead, the Aldes want to concentrate on selling to restaurants, grocery stores and wholesale customers.

“I’m after large scale sales.”

Alde said he is close to reaching a deal with a large chain restaurant, which he hopes will bring the public awareness needed to make the berry a household name.

A contract with restaurants and wholesale marketers, would require Alde to ensure food quality and safety.

The family, including children Connor and Nevada and Alde’s parents, Wayne and Colleen, handpick the berries directly into clear plastic

clamshell packs for sale in a nearby grocery store and farmers markets.

However, by next year they hope to have an automatic berry picker and a processing facility on the farm to sort, wash, pack and freeze the berries.

Wholesale customers want a guaranteed quality and quantity of fruit, which has prompted Alde and other haskap growers to work toward a grower alliance to ensure a steady supply of fruit that meets high quality standards.

“We want to be the distributor for the other haskap growers.”

The family also farms 2,600 acres of wheat, barley and canola.

Wayne said he shook his head when his son first suggested an orchard as a way to diversify their conventional farm. He became more supportive when he read an article about a successful farm succession plan with a small raspberry orchard that made more money than the main farm.

Lee-Anne said they also wanted a farm diversification project that would encourage their children to stay home and join the family business.

They were also tired of eating fruit trucked in from thousands of kilometres away.

“I liked the idea of local fruit, and it tastes good and is nutritious.”

The entire family, friends and

neighbours pitched in to help plant the 17,000 bushes and install the drip irrigation lines over the past three years.

“It was a ton of work,” said Alde.

Sheep fescue is seeded between the rows because it keeps down weeds. It is also a delicacy for the local elk, which means they don’t eat the haskap berries, but their sharp hoofs have punched holes in the plastic surrounding the berries and allowed weeds to grow.

Birds are one of the biggest concerns for the orchard, especially cedar waxwings that migrate through each year.

However, with 17,000 bushes, the birds have not overtaken the orchard. mary.macarthur@producer.com

MANITOBA AGRICULTURAL HALL OF FAME

NISA creator among inductees recognized for ag contributions

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadian farmers who survived years of low prices and minimal yields in the 1990s and early 2000s owe a debt of gratitude to Bob Hopley.

In 1972, Hopley, who farmed with his wife, Lynne, near Oak River, Man., came up with an idea that would radically change risk management programs in Canadian agriculture.

His idea eventually became the Net Income Stabilization Account (NISA), in which farmers contributed a portion of their earnings in good years and withdrew from their personal accounts in lean years.

At a July 16 ceremony in Portage la Prairie, Man., Hopley was inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame for creating NISA and making other contributions to Canadian agriculture.

Raymond Redfern, president of Redfern Farm Services, an agricultural product and service retailer in Manitoba, was one of several people who nominated Hopley.

He was in the middle of a meeting when he was telephoned for an inter-

BOB HOPLEY NISA PROGRAM CREATOR

view, but he stopped the meeting to take the call.

“I have time to talk about Bob Hopley,” Redfern said.

“Every farmer in Canada has benefitted from the programs he helped promote and design.”

Hopley came up with the basic concept for NISA in the early 1970s because he was concerned about income stability and managing financial risk in farming.

Several years later, he served on the advisory committee for the Western Grain Stabilization program, which compensated prairie farmers in years of poor incomes.

“A payout was when the total receipts for the whole area, which was the prairie provinces, fell short,” said Hopley, who retired from farming in 1995 and now lives in Brandon.

“The program made up the difference between that and a five year (production) average.”

However, Hopley and many others thought the program wasn’t fair because every participating farmer received a payment regardless of crop yields.

“The (farmers) that needed it the most got the least. It was based on what you had sold,” he said.

“The more (grain) you sold, the more you got.”

A few producers and policy makers wanted to amend the risk management program to account for regional variations.

“I thought if you’re going to make it a smaller (geography), why not bring it back to the individual (farm),” said Hopley, who was born in Redvers, Sask., but moved with his family to Manitoba at an early age.

His family eventually settled in Oak River.

After years of politely sharing his NISA concept, Hopley’s opportunity came in 1988. A drought decimated crop yields in Western Canada, and politicians were desperate for solutions.

“The Western Grain Stabilization

program had run into a deficit, and government had to come up with a bunch of money to make the payments,” Hopley said.

“Ministers really wanted to have a different type of program.”

He said federal agriculture minister Don Mazankowski and minister of state for grains and oilseeds Charlie Mayer liked the NISA concept and helped it become public policy.

R e d f e r n s a i d Ho p l e y ’s q u i e t demeanor and depth of knowledge was the difference maker when it came to dealing with politicians, farm leaders and other farmers.

“If you saw Bob Hopley in a meeting … he didn’t say much. But when he spoke, people listened.”

Redfern said Hopley and Owen McAuley, a farmer from McAuley, Man., spent hours attending farm meetings across Canada and convincing farm groups to support NISA. The Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame said every province in Canada backed the NISA program.

“By 2004, over $3.4 billion had been placed in NISA accounts by Canadian farmers and both levels of government,” it said.

Others inducted into the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame July 16 include: • Harry Airey, Rivers • Clarence Baker, formerly of Beausejour • Morris Devenson, Winnipeg • Glen Findlay, Shoal Lake • William Gregor, Brandon • David Jeffries, Portage la Prairie • Robert Roehle, Winnipeg “This was the ultimate validation of (Hopley’s) program by the Canadian farming community.”

Hopley also served on dozens of boards and committees during his career and was appointed an honorary member of the Manitoba Institute of Agrologists.

He no longer owns land and isn’t involved in agricultural policy, but he still follows the industry closely. He said farming is a special occupation, and it’s something that gets in your blood.

New farm show gets its hands dirty Ag in Motion features field demonstrations that show farmers how new farm equipment and other technology works

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Burning diesel fuel and rising dust set a new farm show apart from the carpet and concrete that characterize most Canadian agricultural events.

Ag in Motion, Canada’s newest farm show, launched July 21 with more than 200 exhibitors on hand.

“It’s the first new farm show in 23 years. It speaks to the health of this industry,” federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz said during the opening of the event.

The show is unique in Western Canada because of the hands-on nature of the demonstration areas.

“This event allows farmers to experience the latest technology first hand and be introduced to tools that might make them more efficient and profitable and learn about best practices,” he said.

Jonathon Kennedy, president of Glacier Media, which owns the AIM show and The Western Producer, said the new event is part of Glacier’s commitment to agriculture in Canada.

“We have purchased 320 acres for the AIM show’s site. I think that shows we are in agriculture for the long haul.”

The show demonstrates farm machinery and has numerous crop demonstration plots on the site, often adjacent to the exhibitor’s booths.

Doug Wagner, president of Glacier’s show division, said AIM relies on local volunteers, from “14 to retirees.” The groups use the event as fundraisers, he added.

“We all win. We have a lot of experience with this type of approach at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (in Woodstock, Ont.),” he said.

Rob O’Connor, who runs the event, said the response from both farmers attending the show and exhibitors was “as good as I could have imagined. (It) really has delivered everything we thought that it could, maybe more.”

Exhibitor Dave Patrick and partner Hendrik Stuut from Bow Island, Alta., travelled 500 kilometres to display equipment at the show.

“We weren’t planning to sell machinery at the event, especially the stuff we brought from home,” said Patrick of D and H Equipment.

“We didn’t even get to wash it. It sold on Day 1. That doesn’t happen at a lot of shows,” he said about getting a cheque for $42,500 for a 50 foot, Mandako land roller.

Stuut said the crowd at the show was made up almost “entirely of serious farmers. They are here to see what you have. They stop at the booth and talk for quite long periods. Lots of questions. High quality customers.”

Machiner y demonstrations attracted hundreds of farmers to fields that were attached to the exhibitor area.

Warren Hanson of Kinistino, Sask., reached into dirt that had just been exposed to aggressive vertical tillage, clearing away soil from stubble to see if the straw was chopped or stratified. He gathered up some soil in his right hand and breathed

deeply as he lifted it up toward his face.

“This part of the event does things to farmers. The soil, the sounds. This is going to get bigger and bigger,” he said.

It was the fifth set of results of the seven machines that demonstrated their abilities each day during the show.

“Each one of these has its attri-

butes,” Hanson said.

“No better way to make a choice about which one you might want to try for your own needs, on your farm,” he said.

Dennis Bulani of The Rack at Bigger, Sask., planted his company’s crop nutrition program, Ultimate Yield Management, at the show site.

“I think we are the only ones with performance trial plots here. There

are lots of crop plots showing off genetics and chemicals. This lets farmers see it for themselves,” he said.

Chelsea Norheim of the Rack said farmers are “going into the plots and pulling up and plants and comparing them.” This is something they get,” he said. mike.raine@producer.com

CANOLA

Efficient water use key to growing 100 bu. canola A new contest challenges prairie farmers to be the first to achieve yields of 100 bu. per acre without irrigation

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Prairie farmers will have to increase their water use efficiency if they are to achieve 100 bushels per acre in dry land canola production, says Phil Thomas of Agri-Trend.

The company recently announced that the first contest in its new AgriPrize Initiatives will be Canola 100, in which the first farmer to achieve yields of 100 bu. per acre on an nonirrigated 50 acre plot will win the use of a fleet of John Deere equipment for 100 hours per machine, including a tractor, seeder, sprayer, swather and combine.

Thomas, a canola researcher who spoke during last week’s Ag in Motion farm show near Saskatoon, said some canola producers are becoming better at using crop-available water, and 100 bu. per acre has become a realistic goal.

Canola producers achieve an average of three bu. per 25 millimetres of available water, which includes water in the soil profile and rainfall.

However, Thomas said he has clients that yield up to seven bu. per 25 mm of water.

“If you’ve got a soil profile that’s down four feet (1.2 metres) deep, and it’s, say, a silty clay loam, and you’ve got nine inches (23 centimetres) of

A lot of factors go into pushing the yield envelope with dryland canola, but it all starts with water. | water in it at the start, the first four (10 cm) go to produce the manufacture base of the plant and the rest goes to yield. Add rainfall on top of that, you’re only looking at seven, eight inches (17 to 20 cm) during the growing season to hit 100 (bu.),” Thomas said.

He said producers are already achieving 80 to 90 bu. per acre with

dry land production, and irrigated canola should be targeting 100 bu. per acre. He has seen yields as high 171 bu. per acre in a controlled setting, he added, which proves canola has the genetic capability of reaching the 100 bu. target.

Making all the required plant nutrients available when they’re needed is the key to maximizing crop-available

water.

“The biggest factor is fertility,” he said.

“Have a balanced fertility in their diet and away they go. If they are missing one of those ingredients, whether it be a micronutrient or macronutrient, it makes a huge difference on how efficiently they use water.”

Thomas said all the inputs needed

to achieve 100 bu. per acre can be applied in a single application with a side or mid row band, and producers won’t have to use advanced efficiency products.

Producers who have a water deficiency in the soil profile when seeding may want to split the fertilizer application because the crop won’t use the plant nutrients without adequate water.

“We can approach it in a two stage approach or a three stage approach,” he said.

“I’ve walked fields where people were looking at it really from a hydroponic standpoint. If I get the rain. I put more nutrients on, if I don’t get the rain I don’t,” Thomas said.

He wouldn’t predict which prairie growing region will first reach the 100 bu. target, but he did say it will need 190 mm of rainfall during the growing season, which lots of areas on the Prairies receive.

The rules for the Canola 100 contest will be available Sept. 15 at agriprize. com. robin.booker@producer.com

CANOLA COMBINING

Canola headers, varieties studied Rigid, varifeed and draper headers compared

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A prairie farm implement research centre is studying which styles of cutting headers work best for straight combining canola.

Nathan Gregg, who leads the research for PAMI, said researchers compared the traditional swath and belt pick-up system for straight combining canola with a rigid header, a varifeed header and a draper header.

The three-year study is entering its second year.

“It’s a little too early to declare a winner, but what I can say is that all of the headers performed, and as far as the capability to do that job, they all sufficed and are capable of doing it,” Gregg said.

“I think the varifeed with the extendible cutter bar, it did show some potential that it may be able to retain a bit more of those losses.”

The varifeed header has an extendable knife that moves as much as 24 inches further ahead from its normal position, directly out and under the reel, to capture losses caused by the reel.

The study was conducted at two 50-acre sites near Swift Current, Sask., and Indian Head, Sask. It used a standard hybrid canola variety and a shatter resistant variety.

Catch pans that captured losses resulting from the straight combin-

ing process were placed in zones across the width of the header, such as on the edge of the header and under the feeder house.

Researchers also examined environmental shatter loss by randomly placing catch pans in the field during the swath treatment part of the study.

The pans were left in the field until it was harvested to monitor losses from shattering caused by wind.

Environment shatter loss was fairly low, from .1 to up to one bushel per acre at the Swift Current site.

A windstorm occurred at Indian Head after the control swath belt pick-up treatment was performed.

The crop was also much drier than at Swift Current.

At the Indian Head site, “all the header treatments with the standard hybrid variety (at Indian Head) ended up harvesting three to four bushels per acre less due to the windcaused shattering,” Gregg said.

The performance of the two canola varieties has been similar, he added.

“However, when we did have conditions where we did see shattering and loss, the shatter resistant variety withheld its seed better than the standard hybrid variety,” Gregg said.

Seed was dry at around six percent when the Swift Current canola was straight combined, but the stock material was green and wet. Shatter losses because of straight cutting

He said some farms are going to be better off to stay with a swath-based system because it fits that farm’s harvest window and capacity.

“Other farms are really going to gear up and really integrate this into their system and have some canola that’s ready to go and done early and some they are holding off on until later,” he said. robin.booker@producer.com

CANOLA COMBINING

Straight-cutting canola old hat for Austria The Biso Ultralight 800 header can switch from harvesting cereals to canola in minutes

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canadian canola producers are increasingly interested in straightcutting canola.

New technology, such as shatter resistant varieties and new chemicals to desiccate the crop, has spurred the movement.

However, when it came to headers that can efficiently straight cut canola, new designs didn’t have to be developed because they could be imported from a region that has been straight combining rapeseed for decades.

Producers in Austria have straight cut the crop since the late 1960s, said Robert Breckner of Biso Canada.

“That’s all what they do over there, so there’s quite a few companies that make headers,” he said.

Breckner exhibited a 35 foot Biso Ultralight 800 header at Canada’s Farm Progress Show earlier this year in Regina, where the company was awarded a Sterling award.

Producers looking for a header to use for straight combining canola should be interested in the header’s ability to switch from harvesting cereals to canola in minutes.

It has a variable cutter bar that enables operators to move the knife forward or back 800 millimetres and hydraulic-folding side knifes to help cut through canola stands.

Crop dividers on the header must be removed and placed on a bracket on the header transport trailer when

switching to straight cutting canola, but this procedure takes only a few minutes.

The header is made of aluminum with high strength steel and stainless steel, which helps reduce its weight and allows for a cutting width up to 16 metres.

Breckner said the 35-foot header that was on display weighs 7,500 pounds. The intake auger and variable bed are made of stainless steel, which helps the flow of material into the combine.

“Stainless steel auger, stainless steel floor. This way you have nice smooth feeding,” Breckner said.

“And we can also adjust the pitch of the header. If you have a large crop, you tilt it forward, and regular crop you just run it flat.”

The split knife and auger drive, where knives and augers are driven from both ends of the header, reduce vibrations in the header.

“Both sides are driven so you have two wobble boxes, there is also wrap protection if you want to straight cut oats,” Breckner said.

Splash guards are included to reduce grain loss around the feeder house. Breckner said the header can be used with North American combines.

The header displayed at Farm Progress sells for $95,000.

HOW REAL IS ORGANIC?

Steps involved to obtain organic logo ensures itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the real thing ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

I

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard people suggest that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;organicâ&#x20AC;? designation is just another scam.

This frustrates me because the organic standard is clearly laid out in legislation and the rules are available online for anyone to see.

A lot of people put a lot of care and effort into organic production. They develop farm plans that meet organic regulations and submit them to certification boards that determine if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met requirements.

They endure annual on-farm inspections that verify their processes and audit their records. Producers maintain organic integrity throughout the production, storage, cleaning and shipping processes. Then they process according to organic standards, and the processor also undergoes the annual inspection of processes and records.

Producers pay thousands of dollars a year for this scrutiny and verification. There are mechanisms to report cheaters with follow-up inspections and loss of certification for those

found negligent or fraudulent.

Of course, all this due diligence doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exempt organic producers and processors from any of the regulations that their non-organic counterparts must follow.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get me wrong, I am a strong believer in skepticism. And I do u n d e r s t a n d t h e c y n i c i s m t hat results from grossly misleading labels and hype, such as the product that claims to be a healthy mix of â&#x20AC;&#x153;hazelnuts, skim milk and just a little cocoaâ&#x20AC;? but has an ingredient list led by hydrogenated oils and various forms of sugar.

Sometimes labels seem designed to catch suckers, and we want to feel superior to that sort of manipulation.

I recently bought a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gluten freeâ&#x20AC;? herbal tea. My first thought was that of course it was gluten free â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gluten isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found in tea herbs. What a gullible crowd their focus groups must be.

However, there may be a deeper layer here. My tea was a dandelion blend, and sometimes dandelion is roasted and mixed with roasted barley to provide a coffee substitute.

Perhaps that is what they want to differentiate themselves from.

Is there a deeper level in skepticism around the organic label? Perhaps.

A product that is labelled organic, carries the Canadian organic logo and indicates a certifier is organic. If a farmer or farmers market vendor can show you their certificate, they have been through this process.

However, being organic doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean a product is magical. This is where some skepticism is required. A lot of claims are made.

Some claims just make sense.

For example, many studies show organic products have much lower levels of pesticide residue. Organic producers are not allowed to use chemicals such as Roundup and 2,4D, so you would expect lower levels of these chemicals on organic products.

Organic production does not guarantee that the levels are zero.

Organic producers must use due diligence, such as maintaining border strips to reduce spray drift, but they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely avoid the possibility of chemicals falling in the rain.

However, if you want to reduce your exposure to these chemicals in your diet, the most effective method is to eat organic. If you want to avoid supporting the chemical industry, the simplest way is to eat organic.

Other claims seem to be more naĂŻve.

Will eating organic food cure cancer, make you strong, healthy or morally superior? Will organic production save the planet? Rebuild a humane food system? Feed the world?

Sure, all these claims have been made, and certainly organic production and consumption have a role to play in all these aspects of our lives.

But realistically, we live in a complex world where organic production is one part of a much larger picture.

HERBICIDES

Herbicide dispensing made easy, more efficient with new system

BY RON LYSENG & MICHAEL RAINE WINNIPEG BUREAU, SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PrecisionPac 3.0 dispensing is the next advance in the effort to allow producers to buy the exact volume of herbicide they need, down to the last drop.

The PrecisionPac delivery system, which DuPont announced last week at the Ag in Motion farm show near Saskatoon, was first introduced in 1999. However, it has been redesigned to dispense customized herbicide blends.

The new 3.0 machine incorporates the latest technology so that it dispenses three times faster. This is possible because it meters all herbicides into the bag at the same time instead of one at a time, says product manager Rob McClinton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most crop protection products are sold in packaged 40-acre increments, leaving leftover herbicide and packaging to dispose of,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PrecisionPac 3.0 lets a grower purchase a tailored blend to treat 132 acres for example or 92 acres. This saves money, reduces unnecessary packaging and decreases the risk of application errors.â&#x20AC;?

One hundred and a eleven prairie farm supply retailers are equipped with PrecisionPac units. McClinton said DuPont chooses dealers that have agronomists who show a keen interest in working with growers on precision agriculture and custom-

ized herbicide technology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A grower comes into his retailer to sit down and talk about specific weed challenges in each individual field.

They look at length of activity, type of weeds, cropping system, field history and things like that. The agronomist

has the knowledge to put together the right blend for each field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He specifically tailors the blend for the weed mix in and for the size of each field or for the size of the sprayer tank. He dispenses that blend immediately while the grower waits.

If the field is 109 acres, the bag will have just the right amount of herbicide for 109 acres. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to pour into the tank. The machine is currently able to blend bags up to 320 acres in non-crop fields or 240 acres for cereal broad leaf fields. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to expand that for bigger size fields in 2016.â&#x20AC;?

The new units, with six products, have an option of having four of those gravity fed by mini-bulk containers rather than just the smaller bags of chemical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have dealers that are servicing more than 200,000 acres with a single unit. They are constantly changing bags, so this will make that more efficient,â&#x20AC;? he said.

McClinton said the inspiration for PrecisionPac comes from farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, it did happen here first. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all based on a need Canadian farmers expressed to DuPont reps here years ago. They told us what they wanted, so we sent the engineers some rough drawings,â&#x20AC;? he said.

For more information, contact McClinton at 306-385-3019 or robert. mcclinton@dupont.com. ron.lyseng@producer.com

And what about that other claim: â&#x20AC;&#x153;organic is what the people want.â&#x20AC;?

Organic demand is high. Brokers and buyers claim that supply is not keeping up. Consumers are asking for organic because they want the â&#x20AC;&#x153;values packageâ&#x20AC;? of grown without GMOs, pesticides, added hormones and antibiotics.

Why do they ask for this? Are consumers just naĂŻve and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really understand agriculture? Perhaps.

But perhaps they are right. Perhaps we take for granted a whole lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;necessaryâ&#x20AC;? practices that could be changed to be more in line with what consumers really want. Organic is part of this trend.

So what does â&#x20AC;&#x153;organicâ&#x20AC;? mean?

It is unambiguous, transparent, third-party verified, grown and processed according to legal standards.

It is what it claims to be.

Will eating organic override all the questionable choices in your life? Of course not.

Will organic production overcome all the questionable environmental choices we make? Of course not.

But when we see that Canadian organic logo, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;certified byâ&#x20AC;? statement, that organic certificate, we can trust that it really is organic.

CALF HEALTH

Simple tests limit calf mortality Trials look at factors affecting a calf’s suckle reflex and its ability to consume colostrum immediately after birth

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

A University of Calgary professor is working to develop a scoring system that can predict a calf’s ability to consume colostrum on its own.

Adequate immunity acquired through colostrum is the most important factor affecting pre-weaning health of beef calves, said Elizabeth Homerosky, a veterinarian and Simpson Ranch Fellow at the U of C. One-third of beef calves in Alberta and Saskatchewan have less than optimal immunity and are predisposed to pre-weaning health issues and mortality, according to a study from 2009.

This makes good newborn vigour a vital survival trait.

“While various newborn calf scoring systems, modelled after the original APGAR system in infants, have been used over the last few decades as a means to classify vigour status, none are predictive of a calf’s ability to consume colostrum in a timely manner,” Homerosky said.

She wanted to create a quick and accurate tool that producers could use shortly after a calf is born to predict one of the most critical activities in a newborn calf’s life.

Her trial was conducted in March 2014 on an 800-head commercial ranch in southern Alberta comprising purebred Hereford and Hereford-Red Angus crossbred cattle.

Homerosky is working under the assumption that calves born unassisted are considered to be low risk for failed transfer of passive immunity, while calves with assisted births are considered high risk.

The final data analysis is expected to be completed this fall.

She noticed during the trial that it is common for producers to automatically bottle or tube feed calves from hard pulls. In her study, 85 percent of unassisted calves sucked on their own before the four-hour mark compared to 60 percent of easy pulls and 35 percent of hard pulls.

“Although the impacts are generally

worse for calves failing to consume colostrum in a timely manner, unnecessary bottle or tube-feeding may also have consequences,” said Homerosky.

“Negative effects include disrupting the maternal bond, interfering with the calf’s natural desire to suck or even causing aspiration pneumonia and possibly death.”

She said preliminary results suggest

suckle reflex is a promising predictor of a calf’s ability to consume colostrum.

“This is a subjective assessment performed by placing two fingers lengthwise in the calf ’s mouth and categorizing the strength of the calf’s attempt to suck as weak, moderate, or strong.”

Regardless of calving ease, 85 percent of calves with strong suckle reflex sucked on their own before the fourhour mark, while 60 percent of calves with a moderate suckle reflex sucked on their own. In contrast, only seven percent of calves with a weak suckle reflex sucked on their own.

Based on blood work, Homerosky also found that the suckle reflex may be affected by acidosis because calves with a weak suckle reflex had lower blood pH and higher lactate levels, which could indicate prolonged oxygen deprivation at birth.

“By combining suckle reflex with calving ease and several other physical exam parameters in a simple sta-

tistical model, we will ideally be able to advise producers how to more accurately predict which calves will suck on their own and which calves will require help,” said Homerosky.

Other factors that appear to be promising include dam parity, the calf’s gum colour and the ability of the calf to fully retract its tongue when pinched.

“We are hoping that we can use this to accurately identify, by 10 minutes after birth, calves that will have difficulty sucking on their own,” said Homerosky.

“However, from a management standpoint, it would be a good idea to develop a protocol focusing on colostrum delivery for any calf exhibiting a weak suckle reflex shortly after birth.”

Homerosky said ranchers should also watch for signs of mismothering and ensuring the prevention of calf hypothermia. Along with calf vigour, these can also have a substantial impact on getting the calf off to the right start.

FORAGE FIELD DAY

Sainfoin, alfalfa handle drought, fix soil nitrogen: expert

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LETHBRIDGE — Alfalfa and sainfoin may be the only forage crops left standing in a dry year like this one.

“We are seeing the legumes growing because of their drought avoidance,” said Alberta Agriculture forage specialist Grant Lastiwka.

“Every year has droughts someplace in the system. I would like to be able to deal with that more readily,” he said during a sainfoin field day in Lethbridge July 21. “You can’t grow forever with no water, but you will grow for a time where you can manage your way through it.”

Drought tolerance is one of several benefits these crops offer, but many producers are reluctant to try them.

“The greatest concern is they are afraid of alfalfa and the bloating situation, and as a result they don’t use that forage to its greatest capacity. Many under utilize it,” said Agriculture Canada researcher Alan Iwaasa.

However, these are prolific crops and provide more energy and protein than many traditional pasture forages.

Legumes are a good long-term investment: they fix nitrogen in the soil and their roots stretch down more than a metre seeking moisture and nutrients.

Researchers at Agriculture Canada’s centres in Lethbridge and Swift Current, Sask., have been working on new sainfoin varieties, beneficial pasture mixtures and grazing strategies.

Producers should try a 50-50 ratio of sainfoin and alfalfa or consider adding

legumes to grasses, said Agriculture Canada plant breeder Surya Acharya.

At least 15 percent of a legume forage stand should be sainfoin to maintain its counter bloat ability.

“If you didn’t have more than 15 percent, you can’t expect to see bloat prevention,” he said.

Cattle foraging on a half and half mixture will get a highly nutritious fodder, and the sainfoin will mitigate the effects of alfalfa bloat. Stocking rates per acre can be increased, and cattle could gain an extra pound per day compared to more traditional forages.

Sainfoin takes about a year to establish. Researchers have learned that the crop seems to do better in continuous grazing rather than a rotational system, probably because it is subjected to less pressure.

Acharya’s new varieties, along with lines from the United States, are being tested at Swift Current under grazing situations in a semi-arid climate in a brown soil zone.

“As grazers, we need more information where these are tested under grazing conditions,” said Bjorn Berg, rancher and forage consultant who helped develop bloat free alfalfa Early results are showing that the nutritional value did not suffer even when plants were selected for improved agronomy. Scientists also observe cattle behaviour during grazing and have learned they generally prefer alfalfa over sainfoin.

“You have to make sure alfalfa and sainfoin are available to them in close proximity,” said Acharya.

Cattle will also eat sainfoin if it is

planted in alternate rows to the alfalfa.

As well, they prefer the tender alfalfa leaves but select flowering sainfoin.

Various commercial products can be used to control bloat, but sainfoin still seems like a good natural remedy.

It is a good source of bypass protein, which is absorbed as nitrogen in the small intestine and provides more growth.

Sainfoin comes from high altitude regions of Europe and thrives in well drained, dry sites at 1,500 metres or higher. It prefers soil with a pH higher than seven. The crop has a reputation for dying off after a few years, but it will reseed itself and rebuild a more dense stand. It will also grow if seeds were present in bales, he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

URBAN SHEPHERDS

City overtakes Vancouver Island sheep farm Biggest challenge is educating urban residents about how to conduct themselves around the farm’s livestock

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

The Wytincks were inside a crowded show barn on the edge of Winnipeg, but for them it was a far more agricultural setting than where they farm in British Columbia.

“We’re urban shepherds. The city of Nanaimo has grown around us,” said Don Wytinck, a sheep breeder who has been showing at the All Canadian Sheep Classic for more than 25 years.

“We’re totally surrounded by housing.”

The sheep sale brings together sheep breeders from across Canada, which is highly valued in an industry that only has a handful of farmers in each province and none of the easy access to hundreds or thousands of fellow producers that the hog or cattle industries offer.

This doesn’t seem to bother the Wytincks, who have always embraced challenges.

Don grew up on a farm in Cypress River, Man., and was a full-time farmer at the age of 14. His father died when he was five.

He was working pigs, beef cattle, dairy cattle, horses and grain land with his slightly older brother until he left the farm to work in Ontario and Yukon in the 1970s.

However, he wanted to get back to

farming, and he and his wife, Deborah, bought a bedraggled orchard in Nanaimo that had been set up during the war when “people became concerned about where their next meal might come from.”

So what does a livestock farmer do with an orchard? He looked for some animals to graze around the trees. “ Th i s w a s a p l a c e w h e re y o u wouldn’t want to have cattle or horses. They would break those old trees down,” said Don. So they bought sheep, which did well grazing beneath the boughs.

Deborah also enjoyed working with the sheep. She’d grown up as the daughter of a butcher in Northamptonshire, England, and had been told she couldn’t be a farmer there because “we don’t own anything.”

Nanaimo offered the Wytincks a chance to be sheep farmers, and at one time they had more than 100 ewes and were substantial breeders.

They’ve reduced their herd as they’ve aged, and Don said retirement is coming soon.

It’s probably why they don’t complain

Deborah said the main farm production challenge is “educating the public” about things such as not allowing pet dogs to chase their pregnant ewes and keeping their cats

from peeing all over their hay.

Toxoplasmosis can cause ewes to abort, as can being chased by a dog.

However, it’s also nice to give urban residents a chance to see the wholesomeness of farming. Residents of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation

home near them often come by to look at the sheep, something that seems to give them a smile.

“It provides good therapy,” said Don. “We all need some good green earth.” ed.white@producer.com

here’s a lot of crossover between work and pleasure here on the ranch, and that’s a good

thing.

We have horses on the place for work, but they’re also a pleasure to ride.

Life is good when the things you use to make a living also help you have a life. When I bought my last iPad, I knew it was another tool with a lot of crossover potential.

I bought a little keyboard for it and I’ve typed a bunch of columns out on it while I’ve travelled.

Plenty of non-work is logged onto the iPad, too. I do a lot of reading on it — some books but mostly newspapers. The kids have watched a few movies and our little girl discovered she likes YouTube music videos, especially from a couple of young ladies named Lennon and Maisy.

They were young enough to directly relate to my daughter, considering that Maisy was six years old in one of the first videos she found. It had more than two million views.

When they sang Call your Girlfriend, complete with claps and cups, they got 27 million views.

There’s a quick advertisement before the songs play on YouTube, which gave me an idea. Maybe I

could make a little extra money with my iPad and its integrated video camera.

I could do it myself, no film crew needed with the “selfie” video option and my iPad balanced atop a fencepost or the pickup dashboard out in the pasture. Cowboy Logic could hit the YouTube, and rake in some advertising dollars to buy the children new shoes for school.

Granted, it’s a crowded field. Three hundred hours (yes, hours) of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute (yes, minute).

No wonder tractors need auto steer technology so that fields can stay straight while tech-savvy farmers watch YouTube videos on mobile devices.

They even have videos for us up and coming YouTube “creators” on how to “monetize” our content in the YouTube “ecosystem.” It’s the one place where going “viral” is positive. I’d cry if my cattle herd went viral, but it’s aerial fist pumps if my video goes viral.

Most of the videos on my YouTube channel are minute-and-a-half long pieces I’ve done for a show called AgWeek TV. Go ahead, search out “Ryan Taylor Cowboy Logic” and give them a click. My last upload has 127 views so it’s going to take a while to reach Lennon and Maisy status, and associated ad monetization.

In the meantime, I’m going to step away from the screen, get outside and make sure my cattle don’t go viral.

Looks like the calf check is going to outperform my YouTube channel this year, and I’m fine with that.

SECTOR DEFINITION

Developing sustainability definition no easy task Members from all parts of the agriculture industry established criteria that makes sense for their sector

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Sustainability presents both a threat and an opportunity for cattle producers, says the president of the global round table for sustainable beef.

That’s because lots of people talk about sustainability but have no idea what it means, said Cameron Bruett, who is also head of corporate affairs for JBS. It’s a new science, not well understood, causes confusion and means something different depending on who is talking about it.

“It causes a lot of angst, particularly in the cow-calf and feeding sectors of our global industry,” he told the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association convention.

He said the angst comes from the fact that consumers have notions of what sustainability is, and many of

those come from things like Norman Rockwell prints, the famous American Gothic painting and an unending parade of nostalgic images.

“If it’s not this it’s organic,” or grassfed, or natural, or local, he said.

Consumers increasingly consider niche production systems to be sustainable when compared to largescale production. Terms such as grass-fed and local imply a higher standard to some, but he said all food starts out locally in the ground or on a farm.

His definition of sustainability is to do more with less. Being more efficient will position the industry to meet demand from the growing population, he said.

“I think we have to remind ourselves that our modern agricultural system is the reason why we have these populations,” Bruett said.

“We have the most efficient, safest, affordable system.”

ALL FOR NAUGHT |

I believe all beef should be considered sustainable, no matter where it’s produced, because the producers are focused on the environmental, social and economic areas of concern.

CAMERON BRUETT JBS

He takes issue with those who market other choices as superior to conventionally produced food. Many of them are activists with large budgets who vilify agricultural production practices and lobby politicians even though they don’t know which practices are appropriate or not.

Many don’t want to eat beef yet want to set the terms for how produc-

ers operate, he added.

Bruett said the global roundtable was developed because too many people were defining sustainability for beef producers without consulting them.

Eighty members from all parts of the industry created a definition that each can use in ways that make sense for them, he added.

“I believe all beef should be considered sustainable, no matter where it’s produced, because the producers are focused on the environmental, social and economic areas of concern.”

For example, everyone should be working on things like water efficiency, he said.

“If we’re all working to decrease our water footprint, focus on getting young people back into agriculture, doing all these things, then ultimately the planet will benefit,” he said in an interview.

“If we’re all focused on the wealthy

consumer and how do I get increased margins for my sustainably branded product, that may be the aim of certain companies, but it doesn’t get us anywhere closer to meeting a huge challenge before us.”

He also questioned whether consumers really know what they want when they talk about sustainability.

The average family of four in the United States wastes 1,160 pounds of food a year, he said.

“It doesn’t matter what you do in your operation … if they throw 30 percent of the beef in the trash in the family kitchen, what are we doing?” he told the meeting.

Bruett said changing that would require responsibility from consumers who have more than they need and continue to over-consume.

“It’s easier to say the responsibility is yours.” karen.briere@producer.com

RAISE OR BUY?

Weigh cost of raising replacement heifer with land income opportunities

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Most cattle producers choose to raise their own replacement heifers, but that decision should be based on costs, says an economist with the Western Beef Development Centre.

Kathy Larson said American surveys have shown that 83 percent of producers raise their replacements, and a survey last year found that 84 percent planned to expand by keeping heifers.

She said there are good reasons to keep females: they maintain the genetic make-up of a herd, producers know the temperament of the dams and they are raised to thrive in a particular environment.

As well, there is a perceived lower

cash outlay. Bringing in replacements can result in quicker expansion, new genetics and could be cheaper, she told the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association annual meeting.

Producers should consider two costs when raising replacements: • Cash costs are the dollars required to take the heifer from weaning to a confirmed pregnancy.

• Opportunity costs are the revenue foregone by choosing one opportunity over another. For example, the alternative opportunity for a producer who makes hay on his land for his own cattle is to bale the hay and sell it.

Larson said that’s why it’s important to charge the market value of feed against the herd.

Weaned calf sales are the foregone

opportunity when heifers are retained if pasture is grazed. The other opportunity is to rent it out to someone else.

“That’s the opportunity costs you need to consider right off the bat when you consider what it costs you to raise a replacement,” she said.

Larson showed producers how to calculate the true cash costs, but reminded them to plug in their own numbers.

Using a 550 pound heifer in Saskatchewan, the average 2014 fall run price was $2.60 per lb. for an initial cost of $1,430. Larson said the cost was about $700 a couple of years ago.

The cost of taking that heifer through the winter — feed, mineral, bedding and yardage — worked out to about $260 in her example.

The next thing to do is to add the cost of summer grazing of about 65

cents per day for 150 days, or about $100.

Breeding costs include the price of the bull, maintenance, depreciation and potential loss.

Larson used a bull cost of $4,500, with four years of use, and a cull value of 80 cents per lb. The cull value is low, she conceded, but there is no way to know what it will be four years down the road.

Depreciation is $700 per year, maintenance is $790 and the risk of loss is $450 for a total of $1,940. That works out to $80 each for 25 heifers.

Adding the initial heifer cost, winter costs, summer grazing and breeding costs results in a total of $1,870.

Larson said the next factor to consider is whether the heifer conceives. She used an 85 percent conception rate, which adds $330 to each bred heifer.

“You have to make the bred heifers pay for all the ones that didn’t conceive,” she said.

Assuming the open heifers are sold, $285 comes off each bred heifer cost and results in a final development cost of $1,915 each.

Larson said producers then have to calculate how many calves the heifer will have to wean to recoup the costs. That depends on calf prices, but the costs could be re-turned in as little as three years if steers are worth $1,500.

However, the heifer would need to produce seven calves if steers are worth only $1,000, she added.

CATTLE HEALTH

Money spent on veterinarian can pay as cattle prices rise ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

A

large animal veterinarian must be adaptable today, especially with the dynamic production animal industry.

The local veterinary practitioner generally attends to most cattle needs.

Others at the practice do companion animals while yet others take an interest in production animals such as sheep and goats as well as diversified livestock such as bison, camelids and the equine species.

Producers who have these other species should find a veterinarian with an interest in their species and then use them so that the level of service is maintained in their community.

Many specialists are available for referral if necessary.

Herd health visits are regularly scheduled on larger operations, especially on dairy farms, which has cut out a lot of emergency work.

As well, easy calving lines of beef cattle means caesarian sections and

hard pulls are pretty much becoming things of the past.

Reproductive work in both the cow and bull is a mainstay of most large animal veterinarians.

Prices dropped and business fell off when BSE hit the cattle industry hard 12 years ago. Many routine procedures such as pregnancy diagnoses, vaccinations or treating individual cows were left out. Management decisions such as when and what to vaccinate the cows for or when to pull the bulls were neglected.

The cattle industry is now stronger because of higher prices, and many top producers are starting to reimplement preventive procedures. Others never stopped, which is admirable.

Now is the time for many producers to start catching up as they realize that a lot of these procedures can make them a profit, especially in a high market. We are starting to examine more individual bulls, cows and calves again as their value increases.

The individual exam may reflect what is brewing in the herd.

I want producers to carefully review the following list and think about whether these procedures get looked at and attended to on their ranch.

• Get an autopsy for most deaths because these are a window into the health of the herd. Feedlot practices base a lot of their decisions on autopsy results.

Ranch preserves grassland

• Treat newborn calves for pneumonia or scours and hook them up to intravenous fluids if they are dehydrated from scours. Some clinics can keep these calves isolated, warm and the fluids running. As a result, prognosis for recovery is reasonable. They will often bounce back in one to two days. A veterinarian visit to work on diagnoses, biosecurity and prevention, including scours vaccination, can minimize new cases considerably.

• Broken legs on calves usually have a good prognosis and are worth examining because of today’s market. They need to be looked at as quickly as possible. Be careful transporting them. During the BSE

era, we sent many samples of dead cows that were never treated.

Nowadays, prices are good and either deciding to ship a cow early for salvage or treating early may have a good outcome.

• Cows with kidney infections can recover and carry their calf to term if caught early enough and treated long enough.

• Lumpy jaws or wooden tongues carry a good prognosis if treated early. Your vet may need to run sodium iodide intravenously as well as other treatments, but in most cases the wooden tongue is cured and the lump jaw is arrested at that point. The bony changes to the jaw will stay the same, but the

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — It may be one of the newest bison ranches, but the Kleskun Hills Bison Ranch is on some of northern Alberta’s oldest prairie grassland.

With the help of ranch manager Aaron Peck, the original prairie grassland will be sustained for another generation.

“It’s my job as ranch manager to maintain bison production while maintaining the integrity of the land,” Peck said during an Agricultural Service Board tour of the ranch east of Grande Prairie.

Part of the ranch’s 3,200 acres in the main block of land is original prairie grassland, where dinosaur fossils are found in the grass and exposed badland.

“Bison fit here perfectly in the environment,” said Peck.

During the summer, he rotates the 500 bison throughout the ranch’s pasture.

“They thrive on the native grass. It’s beautiful to see the bison on the native flowers and mixed vegetation on the ranch.”

The three ranch owners, Dean Swanberg, Ric Peterson and Dave King, established the ranch in 1999 and all have connections to the area and a desire to retain the original prairie.

Peck and another employee spend much of the summer baling hay for the bison’s winter feed. This summer, they expect to bale about 2,000 bales to add to the 800 round bales on reserve from last year.

condition should not worsen.

• Mastitis or metritis, which is an infection in the uterus, also has a favourable outcome most times if treated vigorously. Your veterinarian may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs, which go a long way to keeping the cows eating and making a faster recovery.

• Bulls with a cut penis can often be rehabilitated to the point of being used the following year. Bulls are valuable animals and at times require individual attention. As well, insurance brokers need to see due diligence in the care of the herd sires.

• Ask a veterinarian to check unresolved lameness conditions. Sole abscesses, corns and septic arthritis can all have favourable outcomes if treated properly. It’s worth knowing if the animal has a high leg injury that will just take time to heal because then the producers know they can let the animal convalesce. A large number of lameness issues at pasture may be i n ju r i e s s u c h a s s t ra i n s a n d sprains. Convalescence may be all that is needed. Claws can be amputated in septic arthritis of the distal joint and the animals can live out productive lives with no pain.

AARON PECK RANGE MANAGER

“That’s a good position to be in.”

The calves are weaned in October and kept over the winter on a high energy, high protein ration.

The bull calves are sold in the spring, and the heifers are kept on grass over the summer. Replacement heifers are kept, and the rest of the heifers are sold as long yearlings.

Peck said he is amazed at the athleticism of the bison, which can often out run a horse and give an all-terrain vehicle a good chase.

The bison are rotated through the pastures every few days, which means rattling the chain on the gate and letting out a holler is enough to have 200 bison hurrying for the gate.

“A bison wants to keep moving,” said Peck.

It may seem like there is still plenty of grass in the pasture, but the bison naturally want to move quickly between pastures.

“To be successful, you have to have a lot of land that bison can graze fast.”

Fewer people are raising bison despite high prices, which Peck said is a shame.

Canada next stop for COFCO?

Stock markets declined, because investors were disappointed in big company quarterly earnings, weakness in commodities and worries about global growth. For the week, the Toronto Stock Exchange composite fell 3.1 percent, the S&P fell 2.2 percent and the Nasdaq slid 2.3 percent in their largest weekly drops since the last week of March.

Analyst speculates about what the China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corp. will buy next

SASKATOON NEWSROOM

It is only a matter of time before a Chinese food industry behemoth attempts to acquire Canadian grain industry assets, says an analyst.

China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corp. (COFCO) has been gobbling up assets around the world, and it won’t be long until one of the world’s largest food companies turns its attention to Canada, said Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research.

“I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see at some point COFCO make a play for one of the Canadian grain handlers,” he told the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s midterm convention.

“It wouldn’t surprise me one little bit.”

COFCO has global assets worth $71.9 billion, including 31 million tonnes of storage capacity, 89.5 million tonnes of processing capacity and 54 million tonnes of port terminal capacity.

The state-owned food company made a splash last year when it acquired controlling interests in Dutch grain trader Nidera and the agribusiness operations of Hong Kong-based Noble Group. The transactions cost about $3 billion.

The acquisitions put COFCO on the same playing field as the ABCD companies in the grain industry: Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus.

Nidera has a comprehensive grain storage and logistics network in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. It also has facilities in the United States, Britain, Spain, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.

Noble buys grains and oilseeds from low-cost producing regions such as South America, South Africa, Eastern Europe, India and Australia to supply customers in Asia and the Middle East. The company owns ports and crushing facilities in key regions such as Argentina.

COFCO has $5 billion of assets in Brazil, including two soybean crushing plants, four sugar mills, a transit station, two wharves and 12 grain silos. The company handles more than eight million tonnes of grains and oilseeds a year in Brazil and has a 14 percent share of the country’s soybean and corn seeds business.

COFCO recently announced it is planning to become a publicly traded company in the next three to five years as it attempts to expand its global reach to provide food security for China.

Company chair Ming Gaoning was recently asked if COFCO is interested in acquiring assets in North America after it is done integrating the Noble

and Nidera assets.

“That is a place you cannot ignore,” he said.

Penner does not know if COFCO was one of the companies that bid on CWB, but he believes the Chinese firm is eyeing up at least one Canadian grain company.

“I don’t know who they’re going to go after but they’re going to go after somebody,” he said in an interview following his presentation.

“It’s just part of their strategy, especially seeing how important canola is to them.”

Penner believes COFCO will be looking for a company that has a combination of grain handling and oilseed processing assets.

“Canola is one of their big interests, so it could be somebody who has crushers,” he said.

“You have to have somebody who is interested in selling. I think the people here right now are pretty interested in hanging on to what they have, so it wouldn’t be easy.”

Senior officials at Port Metro Vancouver have said there has been considerable foreign interest in building another grain export terminal at the port. It is possible that COFCO could be one of the interested parties.

Penner said COFCO’s investments in other regions of the world could also have a profound impact on Canadian growers.

Chinese president Xi Jinping announced in 2013 that the country would be building a new Silk Road to connect China with Eastern Europe.

The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road are initiatives designed to rejuvenate two ancient trading routes.

Gaoning said the initiatives have strong trade implications for the countries located along those trade routes, and COFCO will be seeking investment and co-operation opportunities with grain companies in those areas.

One of those countries is Kazakh-

stan, which has a climate that is strikingly similar to Saskatchewan.

Kazakhstan plans to invest more than $20 billion on transportation infrastructure by 2020 to become the gateway between China and Europe.

One problem that has to be overcome is that China and Kazakhstan use different track gauges on their railways.

Penner said the Silk Road project could pose problems for Canadian exporters because Kazakhstan is already the world’s largest exporter of wheat flour and has rapidly become Canada’s biggest flax competitor.

“They’re right next door to China with rail access. That’s not so good.

That’s one of the things that makes me nervous,” he said.

“Kazakhstan has huge untapped potential, and it’s right next door to them.”

Kazakhstan does not grow a lot of pulses but that could change in a hurry.

“The flax industry blossomed in Kazakhstan in some five years,” Penner said.

“It went from almost zero (production) to competing heavily with us.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Mine gathers input A company proposing a $3 billion solution potash mine near Southey, Sask., met recently with area residents.

China-based Yancoal Canada Resources expects to produce 2.8 million tonnes of potash a year.

It hopes to begin construction next year with completion targeted for 2020. About 2,200 workers will be needed at the peak of construction, and about 350 will operate the mine.

The Farm Land Security Board gave Yancoal an exemption in February 2014 to buy up to 60,000 acres in the area.

FINANCIAL TRACKING

Net operating profit is important indicator of farm health PERSPECTIVES ON MANAGEMENT

TERRY BETKER

It’s vital to distinguish between core and non-core revenue

P

rofit, or lack of it, is the number on the bottom line of your annual report.

Or is it?

A lot of revenue that contributes to the bottom line can be generated by activities not considered part of the core business.

However, it’s the profitability of the core business that will sustain your farm over the long term, and so it is important to measure and track core profitably.

I’ve seen farms where the financial statements reported a profit but in reality, the “farm” was losing money.

The non-core revenue was painting an inaccurate picture.

It can be a real problem when the farmer isn’t aware that this is happening.

Net operating profit is the financial term for profit that the business generated from core operations.

However, before looking more deeply at net operating profit, let’s look at examples of non-core revenue: • patronage dividends • rebates • incidental custom work • purchases or sales of breeding livestock, unless it’s a purebred business • gains or losses from the sale of equipment and buildings • government programs such as Agri-Stability • leases from oil wells and other properties Revenue from these sources needs to be on the income statement, but it is typically not revenue from the farm business’s primary purpose, which is likely selling crops, livestock or dairy.

These peripheral revenues should not be included in the net operating profit calculation.

Government programs such as crop insurance payments are considered to be revenue from core operations because income from these sources correlates exactly with production.

An Agri-Stability payment is related to production too, but the argument for not including it as core revenue is because of the uncertainty in the program’s longevity. Farms aren’t in the business of farming programs, and most farms want to know how their business is performing financially without government support.

The first step in calculating net operating profit is to determine what revenue should be included as core and non-core.

The next step is to subtract expenses that were incurred to generate that revenue. These include production related costs, other variable costs such as fuel and repairs and maintenance and all fixed costs such as interest, property taxes, rent and utilities.

The calculations should be based on accrued financial information for this analysis to be most benefic i a l . C h a n g e s i n i n v e n t o r i e s, accounts payable and receivable and depreciation or amortization need to included.

To analyze how net operating profit affects efficiency, we need to convert net operating profit into a ratio.

This is calculated by dividing the net operating profit margin by gross revenue. The indicator examines how efficient a farmer is at generating a margin of profit from core operations.

Farms must generate a positive net operating profit margin from core operations over time to be sustain-

able. Consider making adjustments to account for wages and salaries to family and management. Are they in line with industry standards?

Amortization (depreciation) rates can significantly affect performance and should be calculated based on management rates rather than tax rates and applied on a straight line basis.

A higher ratio indicates better performance. A farm generating more than a 20 percent net operating profit margin ratio indicates an extremely efficient farm business. The business will thrive if this level of profit is sustained over a long time.

A 10 percent or lower ratio indicates that the business may have

room for improvement.

Remember that the denominator is gross revenue, which means that if a farm’s net operating profit margin is $100,000 and its gross revenue is $1 million, then its net operating profit margin ratio is 10 percent.

If the profit margin was where it should be at 20 percent, then the margin would be $200,000, providing an extra $100,000 that could be used for investment and growth, re-paying debt or for personal needs.

This is money that other farms with better performance use to give themselves a competitive advantage.

Long-term sustainability is threatened if the net operating profit ratio

approaches zero, or worse.

The trend line is important. Are things getting better or worse? In a worsening situation, what can be done to make improvements? There are things that happen outside of a farmer’s control, but the focus needs to be on controlling what can be controlled.

Options include increasing production, decreasing expenses, deferring capital purchases and making adjustments to management withdrawals.
