Moving western Canada’s grain to market is always a challenge but moving this year’s crop could be more challenging than normal, thanks to variable yields across the West and the quality of grain that’s likely to be harvested.

“It’s going to be a more difficult marketing year because of the different quality pockets that exist out there,” said Wade Sobkowich, executive director of the Western Grain Elevators Association.

A prohibited, noxious weed, extremely poisonous to livestock and humans, has been discovered in three Alberta canola fields.

Devil’s trumpet, also known as jimsonweed, was found in c a n o l a f i e l d s i n We s t l o c k , Barrhead and Leduc counties Aug. 27 and 28 while farmers were swathing canola.

The weed has a similar seed size to canola. Provincial weed specialist Nicole Kimmel said officials are concerned about the possibility of canola being contaminated with the weed that

induces hallucinations and is extremely poisonous.

“Our concern is most canola is used for canola oil and this is a poisonous plant. We are very concerned about human consumption,” she said.

Kimmel suspects farmers will find more cases of the towering weed in their canola as swathing progresses.

Devil’s trumpet is about one and a half metres tall and towers over the canola. It has thick red to purple stems and trumpet-like flowers that are pinkish, purplish and whitish.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Ag keeps low profile in election campaign Panelists at a recent discussion said the industry provides one in eight jobs in Canada but is often ignored by the public

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A month into the campaign heading toward the Oct. 19 federal vote and none of Canada’s main political parties has made any specific agricultural promises.

The industry’s profile in any federal campaign is rarely high, even though it provides one in eight jobs and food processing tops Canada’s manufacturing sector, noted panelists discussing agriculture policy in Ottawa last week.

Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said there is a tendency to ignore agriculture because its full impact isn’t easily seen.

He told a recent panel organized

by The Hill Times newspaper that agriculture must be recognized as an economic driver in rural communities and raising its profile is critical.

David McInnes, president of the Canadian Agricultural Policy Institute, agreed.

“This sector represents seven percent of GDP,” he said. “In fact the food processing sector is the number one manufacturing segment in this economy, exceeding that of the aerospace and auto sector. I wonder how many candidates in this election are aware of that.”

McInnes said the question of how the industry can reach its full potential as an important strategic economic sector should be raised.

He suggested people should be discussing how to foster investment in food processing. When processors close or move, market channels for producers also close.

“We should talk about tax credits and what we need to do to compete against those places such as the United States that want to pull our companies south and offer incentives to do so,” he said.

The panel also discussed trade agreements.

University of Toronto political scientist Grace Skogstad said the political parties should be honest

She said Canada must sign trade agreements because so much of the sector depends on access to foreign markets. However, she said governments and negotiators should admit that there are winners and losers in these talks.

“What I find regrettable is the perception that there are only winners in the agricultural sector when it comes to trade agreements,” she said. “We go into these trade agreements saying win-win….We’ve all learned with the trade agreement with the EU that’s not the case.”

That deal will allow more cheese from Europe into Canada.

Skogstad said governments should admit up front there will be costs and plan compensation and transition programs for those who

will bear those costs. She said all the parties are campaigning on support for supply management but they should be honest about what that really means — that reform is required.

Bonnett said it’s not an either-or situation.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of a farmer you are, having a good trade deal in place is important,” he said.

“On the export side, if we don’t get a trade agreement where we are on equal footing with other countries we lose market.

“But at the same time, if you’re a supply management farmer you need to know what the rules are.

There’s got to be confidence in the industry.”

The most recent talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership ended without a deal. Canada’s position

on supply management is said to be a sticking point.

Skogstad said she doesn’t expect a deal before the vote.

“I don’t believe the TPP is actually going to see the light of day,” she said. “It certainly won’t see the light of day this year.”

Other issues raised during the panel discussion included chronic agricultural labour shortages, which CFA has identified as one of its main concerns, social licence and foreign subsidies.

McInnes said the program that sees 47 million Americans receive food stamps stimulates American agricultural production and helps processors achieve scale.

“No wonder our food processors are challenged in how do we remain competitive when we’re up against a giant that uses subsidies

to great effect,” he said.

He also pointed out the U.S. dairy sector taps into southwest aquifers to stay in business but that cost isn’t truly reflected when the U.S. calls for Canada to end supply management.

“Can we raise the sustainability bar on our competitors?” McInnes asked.

Canada has water, land and other natural advantages it should use to its advantage, he said.

CFA plans to host an agricultural debate Sept. 30 in Ottawa, during which it hopes to hear more details of what each party plans for agriculture. karen.briere@producer.com FOR RELATED COLUMN, SEE PAGE 10

FEDERAL ELECTION

Foreign worker issue goes unnoticed by election candidates

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The shortage of labour in Canada’s agriculture and food processing sector is well documented.

Meat packers, beekeepers, hog producers and large grain farms desperately need reliable and skilled employees.

Yet it’s unlikely to come up during the federal election campaign, said Rod Scarlett, Canadian Honey Council executive director.

That’s because politicians don’t want to touch the temporary foreign workers topic.

“I’m not certain that during the election that type of an issue will warrant a lot of discussion… because it’s not a vote getter,” Scar-

lett said, from his office in Sherwood Park, Alta.

“It’s not something that everybody will pay attention to or will ring positively with a lot of voters who … believe we should be hiring local talent.”

The federal government amended the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in June of 2014, following alleged cases of some businesses abusing the program.

The government placed limits on the percentage of foreign employees at a workplace, increased applicant processing fees and shortened the length of time a temporary foreign worker could spend in Canada from two years to one.

Scarlett said it’s a common perception that commercial beekeep-

ers and other businesses aren’t doing enough to hire locals.

Beekeepers have said there aren’t enough people in rural areas willing to take seasonal jobs at an apiary and recruiting and retaining employees consumes a large amount of time.

“For commercial beekeepers, it’s probably one of the top two (management) issues (along with bee health),” Scarlett said.

Ron Davidson, director of trade, government and media relations with the Canadian Meat Council, said the agricultural labour issue is much broader than meat processors struggling to find employees and the inter-related decline in productivity.

He said the lack of labour is com-

promising the future of rural Canada. Many immigrants use the TFW program as a pathway to become permanent residents of Canada. They then bring their families to Canada and repopulate rural communities that need more people.

“If you talk to places like Brooks, Alta, or Brandon or Neepawa, Man., they were on side (with TFWP),” Davidson said. “They were getting their schools filled, they were getting their health services back.”

Davidson said the agri-food sector has to re-brand the issue, so Canadians and politicians understand the labour shortfall.

“This perception in Canadian’s minds was created through a very

emotional and persistent weeks and months of (negative press) on the Temporary Foreign Worker Program,” he said. “It’s really hard to turn around an emotionally based perception with hard facts.”

Davidson said it’s challenging to get politicians engaged because TFWP may as well be a four-letter word.

“There is huge perception problem with the term temporary foreign worker… and we are paying a price for that,” Davidson said.

“People have such a negative connotation of temporary foreign workers that none of the (political) parties really want to talk about it.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Malting barley quality improves High protein may cause concerns for maltsters

WINNIPEG — High protein levels could prove a challenge for Canadian maltsters this year, according to a broker.

However, the quality of the country’s malt barley crop is generally looking better than had been expected as harvest activity starts up across the Prairies.

“Everything is high, high, high: high yields, high plump, high bushel weight and high protein,” Rod Green of Central Ag Marketing in Alberta said about the early samples he’s seen.

While “it will all find a home,” Green said the higher average protein levels would be a concern for maltsters, who generally like to see lower protein barley.

The Canadian harvest is not yet complete, and Green said rain could yet create quality issues.

However, after one of the hottest and driest summers on record, the fact that barley yields are still relatively good was a pleasant surprise, and Green said “it could be worse.”

Malt barley bids are $5.50 to $6 per bushel, “which is still one of the best paying crops out there,” he said.

A large U.S. crop and the global economic uncertainty were bearish factors, he added, but demand was also strong, which was keeping malt barley at a good premium over feed.

POISONOUS WEEDS FOUND IN ALBERTA FIELDS » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Its leaves have irregular toothed margins.

The seed pods are like spiked cucumbers and may contain 600 to 700 seeds per capsule. The capsule explodes once it matures, expelling its seeds.

Devil’s trumpet is a prohibited noxious weed seed under the federal weed seed order. It falls into the highest class of prohibition.

Kimmel believes the weed may have come into the field through a contaminated seed lot.

“That would be my suspicion,” she said.

Blaine Woycheshin, manager of oilseed crops with Invigor Seed, said his company hadn’t heard about the weed in their canola, but will be contacting the farmers and Kimmel for more information.

“We will be looking into it,” said Woycheshin of Calgary.

Kimmel is working with Canadian Food Inspection Agency staff to develop a plan on the best way to destroy the plant. Open burning may create poisonous toxins in the air.

Jacolyn Tigert, agricultural fieldman with Westlock County, said a farmer found about 10 plants in his canola field while swathing.

“This weed is a serious weed. All parts of the plant are poisonous. It can cause death to livestock and humans at a low percentage,” she said.

Marilyn Flock, agricultural fieldman with the County of Barrhead, said a farmer found about two

dozen plants in his canola field while swathing.

“It looks like a tree out in the middle of the crop,” said Flock.

With 610,000 acres of farmland, Barrhead county officials are relying on farmers to be on the lookout for the weed.

In a news release to local farmers, Westlock County staff warned the plant could end up in livestock feed if the canola straw is baled for feed and the plant is not pulled before swathing.

Aaron Van Beers, agricultural foreman with Leduc County, said the weed has been found in one field in his area. The farmer noticed two plants growing while swathing his Invigor L135C canola.

“It does stick out fairly well,” he said. “If this is not an isolated incident it could be a fairly big concern.

It is a fairly toxic plant.”

Leduc County staff is asking farmers who find the plant to pull it and bag it and take it to the county office until provincial weed specialists and CFIA officials come up with a plan to destroy the weed.

Van Beers believes the weed seeds were likely in one lot. The Leduc county farmer will watch for more plants as he swaths.

Dan Orchard, agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada, said they weren’t aware of the weed, but have since notified other canola staff about it.

ANIMAL HEALTH

Hog producers fear PED more likely with rule changes Livestock trailers are considered the most likely method of spreading the devastating hog disease into Canada

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Western Canadian hog producers say the risk is high that porcine epidemic diarrhea will enter the country from the United States because of Canadian regulatory changes.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recently served notice that as of Oct. 1, it will cancel an emergency protocol in Manitoba that ensured stringent washing, disinfecting and drying of livestock transport trucks returning from the U n i t e d S t a t e s. T h e m e a s u re allowed trucks to cross into Canada from the U.S., be specifically tagged and then taken directly to a wash station for thorough disinfection.

PED is endemic in the U.S., where millions of piglets have died from the virus, and trailers are considered the most likely method of spreading it.

The CFIA said in an Aug. 24 notice that PED no longer requires an emergency response.

It will instead enforce requirements that livestock trailers returning to Canada from the U.S. be cleaned and disinfected on the U.S. side.

“That policy and cleaning and disinfecting trucks in the U.S. to prevent disease entry into Canada sounds good in theory, but in practice, the location, quality of the U.S. truck washes makes this policy extremely difficult to apply consistently to the standard that we are used to and expect in Western Canada,” said Alberta swine veterinarian Dr. Kurt Preugschas.

Hog transport trucks and trailers travel across Western Canada, so the risk of viral transmission will be higher for all producers, he added.

Andrew Dickson, general manager of Manitoba Pork, said his organization and the Manitoba government asked the CFIA to continue the emergency protocol or at least delay a return to previous regulations until recommenda-

CFIA regulations require trucks on the U.S. side to be cleaned and disinfected according to industry guidelines. However, hog producer groups say they lack confidence in U.S. truck washing facilities and protocols. | FILE PHOTO tions for better rules can be considered.

“Those negotiations came to naught, essentially because CFIA demanded that the province accept full liability for the introduction of all farm animal diseases into Canada,” said Dickson.

“We are extremely concerned about this because essentially we’re going to be sending trailers to be fire hose washed at some point in the United States, where they’re probably going to pick up some PED virus and will be adding to the viral load that our producers currently have to deal with in the province.

“This just, in time, will mean that more virus will enter the environment here in Manitoba and you will increase the potential exposure at the farmgate of this disease. It’s very unfortunate.”

Manitoba has had seven premises infected with PED since it was found in Canada last year. Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia have not been infected, although continued testing in Alberta has shown several positives for the virus on inert surfaces.

CFIA regulations require trucks on the U.S. side to be cleaned and disinfected according to industry guidelines. However, hog producer

groups say they lack confidence in U.S. truck washing facilities and protocols.

Preugschas and Manitoba Pork chair G eorge Matheson both quoted research done by animal disease expert Dr. Leigh Rosengren on the subject.

She found there are not enough American truck wash facilities on major transportation routes that are capable of meeting CFIA washing standards.

As well, she found few U.S. wash facilities had the infrastructure needed to wash, disinfect and dry hog transport vehicles that had been in areas with high risk of disease.

Rosengren concluded that the disease risk posed to the Canadian swine industry from reliance on American facilities for proper cleaning was unjustifiable.

“In other words, there is significantly higher risk that PED virus or any other disease … will be brought into Canada as a consequence,” said Preugschas.

In a letter to producers, Matheson said the CFIA’s plan will also create export difficulties because trucks will be stalled at U.S. washing facilities. Many U.S. truck washes do not accept trucks with bedding inside.

A further concern is that CFIA regulations do not require full washing of trucks and trailers that re-enter Canada after delivering to American processing plants. Those rules apply only to units that have gone to other locations.

Trucks and trailers coming from abattoirs need to be only scraped out rather than washed or disinfected.

“I still haven’t figured out how this makes any sense from a biosecurity standpoint,” Preugschas said.

PED virus has been found at U.S. processing plants and is considered endemic across the country.

The CFIA said is it legally required to apply the regulations as detailed in the Health of Animals Act. In a list of questions and answers available on its website, it suggests producers can undertake additional washing and disinfection of trucks on the Canadian side.

Preugschas said he hopes producers will do that, even though it is an additional expense. In the meantime, he said the Canadian Association of Swine Veterinarians is preparing a position statement it will present to the CFIA to guide changes to the regulations.

Producers in all western provinces are also being asked to contact their MPs and complain about the change. barb.glen@producer.com

ELEVATOR AGENTS EXPECT A TOUGH YEAR » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “On one hand, we’ll have less volume than we had last year but on the other hand, we are expecting a wider array of quality parameters so that will make receiving the grain and blending to meet customer specs more challenging.”

Although the 2015 harvest is still continuing, concerns are emerging about the variable quality.

Rain delayed harvest operations in many areas during late August.

In some cases, grain quality was affected as a result.

Yield forecasts are also highly variable from region to region, with much of western Saskatchewan and Alberta expecting below average yields and lower quality due to drought and late emergence.

For shippers, it is expected that more effort will be dedicated this

year toward sourcing and aggregating grain from specific areas and blending to meet customer specifications, said Sobkowich.

Lower yield expectations in Alberta and western Saskatchewan could also mean that more grain from eastern Saskatchewan and Manitoba will be transported west, to port facilities in Vancouver.

Under normal circumstances, top quality grain from Alberta and western Saskatchewan comprises most of the grain that is moved through Vancouver.

But with fewer tonnes likely to be produced in the western Prairies, greater volumes of eastern grain may be transported to the West Coast.

As of Aug. 26, less than a quarter of Western Canada’s total acres had been harvested.

Daryl Beswitherick, national manager of quality assurance at the

Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), said it is still far too early to make definitive statements about crop quality.

As of mid last week, the CGC’s harvest sample program had received about 300 grain samples, or roughly three percent of the total expected.

In a normal year, the program receives around 10,000 samples.

“It’s not in the bin yet but the stuff that has been combined is looking good.”

Beswitherick said he is aware of concerns over lower-than normal yields in Alberta as well as downgrading factors across much of the West, including those caused by late August rains.

However, early samples submitted to the CGC point to excellent quality in amber durum and spring wheat, with few degrading factors and higher-than-average protein levels.

Early CWAD samples show protein levels ranging from 13 to 17 percent.

Spring wheat samples from Manitoba also suggest an excellent crop with low fusarium damage and protein routinely in the range of 14 percent or higher.

“The stuff coming out of Manitoba right now looks really good,” he said. “Lots of No. 1s … and lots of really nice looking wheat with low fusarium damage.”

Beswitherick said the earliest samples submitted are usually the best.

Officials from Canada’s two major railway companies say they are well positioned to move the 2015 harvest, regardless of how it is sourced or where it is shipped.

Officials with Canadian National Railway acknowledged the company stored some locomotives and

laid off some employees earlier this year but expects to call back some laid-off employees when Canadian grain orders pick up.

CN is also offering new programs to western Canadian grain shippers this fall, including a program that allows customers to integrate privately owned cars into CN’s common western grain hopper car fleet and receive an equivalent number of cars on a pre-determined schedule. brian.cross@producer.com

PRICING

Grade-based pricing carries pros and cons One Manitoba grain grower found prices can vary wildly on either side of the border for various grades of wheat values to come out.

“In no time at all the market would start paying on end-use values,” said Orsak.

Tjaden Lepp said grade-based buying and selling still plays a big role for farmers who need to move grain quickly and don’t have the time the do more intensive marketing. She has told clients about good opportunities with U.S. buyers, but they then need to get their grain tested “bin by bin,” and then by the time the tests are done “that opportunity is gone.”

So for many farmers that sort of complicated marketing won’t cover their marketing needs, especially with big bulk crops.

Canada Grains Council president Tyler Bjornson said the Canadian system won’t work perfectly in situations where certain specs are the only things that matter, but it is a major plus for western Canadian farmers in terms of the overall value of their crops on the world market.

“When it comes to wheat in particular…as an industry we know there is value in the Canadian approach, particularly with CWRS and (Canadian Western amber durum), which are worldrenowned,” said Bjornson.

“Certain of our competitors are worried that Canada is gaining a competitive advantage at least part based on the soundness of its system.”

The Canadian Grain Commission has been reviewing various elements of its system, Bjornson said, and the grains council supports those reviews and hopes that the future system contains enough flexibility that underlying values of grain can be better reflected in driveway elevator pricing.

Bill Gehl, the chair of the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission, also believes the present grade-based pricing system has lots of value for the average commercial grain farmer.

“That system has earned us loyal clients around the world,” Gehl said.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

If he had taken what the local grain terminals were offering for his 2013-14 wheat, he would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars poorer.

That’s a reality Binscarth, Man., farmer Paul Orsak discovered after finding his lightly frosted and slightly discoloured Canadian Western Red Spring wheat was only likely to get a grade of 3 CW or feed in the Manitoba market.

However, south of the border it would be a number one U.S. grade and had the specs to be top quality U.S. milling wheat, according to a specifications-based test.

“I think our grading system is overdue for a review,” said Orsak.

“It’s probably a relic of the past.”

Brenda Tjaden Lepp of FarmLink Solutions said she knows “probably 300” situations like Orsak’s from the past couple of years.

“This past year there was a lot of money to be made by figuring out exactly the specifications of the wheat you had and then exploring many, many markets to find the one that wanted exactly that spec,” said Tjaden Lepp.

“If you’ve got those things that matter, it’s the difference between $10.25 (per bushel) and $5.50.”

The problem faced by Orsak and spotted by Tjaden Lepp with her clients comes from the Canadian grain trade’s practice of buying grain from farmers based on quick grain grade assessments, but with much of the end-user milling market actually relying upon specifications instead. That can lead to gigantic value differences between the way a grade-judged grain and a specs-judged grain are priced.

Orsak thinks the grading system needs to “evolve,” become “optional” for farmers, or maybe be abandoned. Having both farmers and grain companies rely only on grade as a way of setting a fair price often isn’t working. Getting rid of gradebased pricing would allow true

This past year there was a lot of money to be made by figuring out exactly the specifications of the wheat you had and then exploring many, many markets to find the one that wanted exactly that spec. If you’ve got those things that matter, it’s the difference between $10.25 (per bushel) and $5.50.

BRENDA TJADEN LEPP FARMLINK SOLUTIONS

“We shouldn’t mess with it lightly.”

Tjaden Lepp said she hopes the problems that caused such massive spreads and disjunctures in grain pricing in 2013-14 and 201415 were phenomena of those years, rather than a permanent feature of the present system. 2013-14 was disrupted by the logistical snarls that Orsak said made his local elevators “very, very picky” because they needed to keep grain out of the overburdened system, and 2014-15 was dominated by myriad quality and grading challenges that also led to buyers downgrading lots of grain that might have otherwise have been better treated.

Tjaden Lepp hopes the system now, even if using grade-based pricing, knows how to get better value out of farmers’ grain, and pay them better, even if there are unimportant downgrading factors.

“Ever y year (since the C WB monopoly ended) the trade has had to learn one thing,” said Tjaden Lepp.

“In 2014 it was the year we learned to micromanage many different qualities of wheat for many different buyers.”

Orsak said he hopes the Canadian grain trade and system takes this problem seriously, because right now it isn’t fair to farmers.

“The Canadian grading system is really not allowing farmers to capture the full value of their grain,” said Orsak. ed.white@producer.com

El Nino’s bark is worse than its bite Meteorologists say the weather system won’t be as disastrous as previously predicted

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The impact of a strengthening El Nino on world crop production has been overstated, say meteorologists.

This year’s El Nino is the second s t ro n g e s t s i n c e 1 9 5 0 w h e n researchers began measuring the intensity of the event by monitoring temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.

Drew Lerner, president of World Weather Inc., has seen numerous media reports suggesting crop damage could rival or exceed what occurred in 1997-98, which is the strongest El Nino on record.

“This El Nino has not been nearly as significant as the 199798 event in regards to world crop disasters or world crop losses and it’s not going to (be),” he said.

“I just want folks to maybe relax a little bit and not get so caught up in the hype because I really think the media has misled everybody.”

Weather forecasters incorrectly predicted an El Nino many times before it actually occurred this year.

They were fooled by an El Nino Modoki phenomenon characterized by a warming in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. A traditional El Nino occurs when there is a warming in the eastern equatorial Pacific.

A typical El Nino creates a low pressure system above the eastern equatorial Pacific bracketed by high pressure systems on either side that reduce rainfall over important crop production areas such as India, Southeast Asia and Australia.

However, due to the Modoki El Nino, there was a low pressure system over the central tropical Pacific and a high pressure system over the eastern equatorial Pacific.

“When the water started warming in the eastern Pacific there was a failure in the low pressure

This year’s El Nino is the second strongest since 1950, but meteorologists say it won’t cause the same damage to crops as the 1997-98 event. | FILE PHOTO system to develop because the Modoki event had already put a high pressure system over that water,” said Lerner.

That disrupted the normal chain reaction of weather events.

“Once you screw it up with Modoki you screw it up for the rest of the world and we can’t have the same level of abnormal weather,” he said.

The Modoki event has gradually died out over the past six to eight weeks giving rise to more traditional El Nino weather patterns but it is has already missed the growing season in many areas of the world. “ The end result is that the impact on all these places around the world will be considerably less than it would have been had we not had that Modoki event first,” said Lerner.

David Streit, agricultural meteorologist with Commodity Weather Group, agreed that the 2015-16 El Nino won’t cause as much damage as the 1997-98 event due to what is occurring in other ocean locations around the world.

India’s monsoon is normally significantly affected by El Nino but this year the impact was muted by warmer-than-normal temperatures in the western Indian Ocean, which enhances rainfall for India.

“It offset some of the impacts of the El Nino situation,” he said.

Streit agreed with Lerner that the Modoki event lessened the impact of El Nino on Indonesia and Malaysia, two important palm oil producing countries.

That is because it was warmer than usual in the western tropical Pacific.

“Australia is getting off easy because of that as well,” he said.

El Nino could still cause problems in Southeast Asia and it is responsible for dry conditions in Central America and Mexico.

It often results in soggy conditions in southern Brazil and eastern Argentina. It hasn’t been too wet so far in those areas but there could be some flooding in the future as the traditional El Nino takes hold. That could delay spring planting of corn and soybeans.

Streit expects El Nino to ease drought concerns in California and create good planting conditions for the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop, although it could disrupt the soybean harvest in southern states. sean.pratt@producer.com

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

China will continue to be strong market for Canadian goods: analyst Chinese economy continues to grow, so Canadian export markets should remain strong amid market downturn

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

China’s troubles aren’t enough to derail the steaming demand train that has carried along grain and meat markets for the past decade, analysts say.

At least not yet.

“This is food. Food is just too important,” said Iowa State University agricultural economist Dermot Hayes, an expert on the Chinese market for pork.

“Even though investors over there have lost a lot of money, the real economy is still growing at five or six percent, and that means that more and more people will be able to afford pork.”

The same applies to soybean and canola imports, said Rich Nelson of Allendale, Inc. Food-related

importing will not be derailed by the present state of Chinese economics or markets.

“Whether they have seven percent growth or five percent growth, we’re not changing our estimates (of likely Chinese import demand),” said Nelson.

“There’s not a clear correlation between the Chinese growth rate and its imports of soybeans and canola.”

China’s economic slowdown, which has been occurring for more than a year, and its stock market selloff, which is only a couple of weeks old, have reduced the price of commodities, including oil and copper.

However, agricultural commodities have not been obviously affected in a big way.

“It’s certainly having an effect on general commodities, especially minerals and metals,” said John

Duvenaud, editor of the Wild Oats markets newsletter.

“Food, I don’t think so.”

Hayes said China is continuing to see economic growth and urbanization, regardless of the slowdown. That means millions of new consumers are beginning to have the ability to afford meat.

There might be marginally fewer new urban consumers if China’s growth rate cools and less money is in the hands of the wealthier parts of the urban population, but nothing has reversed China’s development.

Most Canadian and U.S. meat plants can’t ship to China because of the ractopamine ban, but a few do and regardless of where China sources its meat, the outlook for Canadian and U.S. exports is good as long as it’s taking it off the world market.

“There’s a pork scarcity over

there,” said Hayes.

“We probably won’t see quite as big an increase in prices and similarly we won’t see such a big increase in imports (as many previously expected), but there will still be growth.”

A few analysts are noting the stabilizing factor food can play in a society and the destabilizing factor that increasing food prices can play.

People tend to be more content if they can afford more food, social unrest can ensue if food prices rise and shortages occur. That’s not likely something the Chinese government wants.

“The Chinese government is in a dicey situation,” said Duvenaud.

“The last thing they are going to do is cut back on imports.” ed.white@producer.com

Cuba seeds clouds to make rain Drought is country’s worst in a century HAVANA , Cuba (Reuters) — Cuba will begin a two-month cloud-seeding campaign over the eastern part of the Caribbean island in hopes of easing the worst drought in more than a century, Communist Party daily Granma said last week.

A Russian Yak-40 aircraft will be ready for action beginning this month, the paper said, with the goal of increasing precipitation in areas that feed into the Cauto River, the country’s largest and the main source of water for area reservoirs.

Cloud seeding involves sprink l i n g c h e m i c a l s t o i n c re a s e water condensation and thus rainfall.

“The period from January up to the present has been the driest in terms of precipitation since 1901,” Argelio Fernandez, the director of infrastructure at Cuba’s state-run waterworks, told Granma.

He said cloud seeding may also begin over central Camaguey province, which is cattle country, where herds are suffering from hunger and thirst.

With reservoirs at around 35 percent of capacity, and in some provinces well below 20 percent, Cuban authorities appear increasingly alarmed with just two months left in the rainy season, which runs from May through October.

Granma said the drought was forecast to persist through March 2016.

Cuba faces water rationing in major cities and hard choices on where water should be allocated with winter planting, the tourism season and sugar milling all beginning in November.

Drought conditions across the Caribbean, caused by the phenomenon known as El Nino, a warming of Pacific waters that affects wind circulation patterns, have created similar situations on other islands.

Earlier this month the civil defence system was placed on alert.

More than a million Cubans are already relying on trucked-in water, as are tens of thousands of cattle, and the country is increasing imports of rice and other foods to compensate for damage to agriculture.

The government has not provide d a n a t i o n a l b re a k d o w n o f drought damage, but it said earlier this month that emergency measures were being implemented at all levels, including stricter rationing of water through the state-run waterworks.

Communist-run Cuba loses around 50 percent of the water that is pumped from its reservoirs to leaks. Little irrigation of farmland takes place and the systems that do exist are outdated and inefficient.

The improved outlook for global crops has helped reduce benchmark wheat futures in Chicago to three-month lows. |

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTION

Wheat forecast raised for Europe An improved outlook for Russia, Ukraine and the European Union is boosting global supplies LOND ON, U.K . (Reuters) — Global grain supplies will reach historic highs in the 2015-16 season, the International Grains Council said last week, a development that could make world food prices even cheaper.

The IGC raised its forecasts for wheat crops in Russia, Ukraine and the European Union and also upwardly revised its outlook for corn production in the United States.

The improved outlook for global crops helped to send benchmark wheat futures in Chicago to a threemonth low on Aug. 27 and has added to downward momentum for global food prices which fell to a six-year low in July.

Global grain production in 2015-

16 was forecast to total 1.988 billion tonnes, up 18 million tonnes from the IGC’s previous forecast but still below the prior season’s record 2.015 billion tonne crop.

“With a large carryover from the previous season, total supplies (production and stocks) are projected to increase about 10 million tonnes to a new all-time high,” the IGC said.

Favourable weather in the key Black Sea grain exporting region led the IGC to upgrade its forecasts for Russia’s wheat crop by four million tonnes to 59 million and Ukraine’s production by 3 million tonnes to 25 million.

The outlook has also improved for the European Union’s wheat crop (151.9 million tonnes vs. a

previous forecast of 148.5 million) and the U.S. corn crop (340 million from 332 million).

“While much of this month’s upgrade is tied to larger than expected wheat and barley crops in the CIS (former Soviet Union) and the EU, projections for U.S. sorghum and maize (corn) are also lifted from July,” the IGC said.

The improved outlooks more than offset cuts to production forecasts for Canadian wheat (25.5 million tonnes from 28 million) and EU corn (60.1 million tonnes vs 66.9 million).

“Following reports of worse than anticipated drought damage, estimates for maize (corn) in the EU and Ukraine and spring wheat in Canada are lowered from before,”

the IGC said.

China has raised imports over the past year as a substitute for expensive domestic corn in animal feed but this month said it will require importers of barley, cassava, distillers’ grains (DDGs) and sorghum to register purchases under a new system to come into force on Sept. 1.

“As China has recently been a heavy importer of feedstuffs, including sorghum, barley and DDG, traders are wary of potential changes to state support mechanisms which could alter buying patterns,” the IGC said.

China’s grain imports were in 2015-16 were put at 22.4 million tonnes, up from a previous estimate of 21.1 million but still below last season’s 24.8 million.

ANIMAL HEALTH

U.S. lifts import restrictions on Ontario poultry caused by bird flu CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has lifted restrictions on imports of poultry and poultry products from Ontario in the latest sign the farm sector is starting to recover from a severe outbreak of bird flu.

The USDA limited imports from Ontario in April after a deadly

strain of the disease was detected on a turkey farm in the province.

The restrictions were removed on imports of products from live poultry and research birds to hatching eggs, the department said in a notice.

Bird flu infected farms in Canada and has killed more than 48 million turkeys and chickens in the United

States since late December. The losses have pushed U.S. egg prices to record highs and squeezed turkey supplies ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

No new infections of the virus have been found in the U.S. for more than two months, and some farmers whose flocks were affected

have started the slow process of restocking barns. The rebuilding process could take up to two years for large egg producers.

The rebuilding process could last even longer if the virus re-emerges this fall when wild ducks, which carry the disease, begin their seasonal migrations.

The large drop in Chinese markets last week caused market volatility around the globe. Cattle futures were caught up in the larger market trends and on Aug. 26 hit their lowest point since May 2014.

December live cattle futures dropped below the previous low set in February.

Those prices recovered somewhat, but Canfax said the bottom is unknown and the short-term trend in the market is downward.

CAUTION IN FED CATTLE Lows in the futures market were the likely cause of reduced U.S. interest in fed cattle last week. The weighted average steer price of $181.36 was a new low for the year.

Competition from local packers was limited and dressed bids for mid-September pickup were generally $4 to $5 lower than the previous week. Live trade was light and about $2 lower than the previous week.

Packers were not aggressive, and bids remained flat even after the partial futures market recovery last week. Some premiums were available for producers who are able to hold cattle until October for delivery.

Most sales were for earlier delivery as producers opted to keep cattle moving.

Canadian steer carcass weights averaged 907 pounds last week, the largest so far this year and the first time average weights have ever averaged more than 900 lb. in August.

FEEDERS STEADY The cash feeder market was generally unaffected by market volatility last week and the tone was steady to higher.

The market seems to be ignoring the larger discount in the futures market as prices remain strong for forward delivery yearlings.

Canfax said prices are expected to remain strong, even though many feedlots are placing yearlings off side. The supply side of the yearling market is strong because many think a large percentage have already moved.

CRAIG’S VIEW

RESEARCH CENTRE

Too many questions surround library closure

A

nswers to many questions can be found in libraries. Answers to questions about the recent closure of the Agriculture Canada Lethbridge Research Centre library are sadly lacking.

That is what makes it so troubling.

Converting research to digital format is a good idea. In theory, and hopefully in practice, it will make information more readily available to everyone.

In that respect, Agriculture Canada’s stated plans to digitize materials and develop “self-service” access to research materials and scientific journals make sense.

We are told that all unique and relevant materials were relocated but will still be available for loan, and that research centre employees had the opportunity to add some of the information to their personal collections that was otherwise conscripted to the dumpster.

That didn’t prevent some researchers within the facility from raising alarm bells with their union about the library’s disappearance. They are among the 48 scientists and 85 technicians who work there.

It is their view that important data was discarded and that loss of materials will make it more difficult to access certain information relevant to their work.

And what work is that?

It is research that directly benefits farmers and ranchers and has done so since the facility was established in 1906.

Projects based in Lethbridge have provided valuable agronomic and livestock information that has improved agricultural productivity across Canada.

The vast majority of it, particularly in the early days of the facility, was publicly

funded — paid for by Canadian taxpayers. It belongs to us all.

At least, it did.

Who decided what information, whether historical or current, was relevant and worthy of saving? Is all of the retained information to be digitized? Will it be available to everyone? Is it even possible to convert all the library materials to digital format and if so, at what cost?

The public might be more inclined to accept Agriculture Canada’s explanation for closing the library — modernization and cost savings — if the government’s history of similar closures showed merit.

The Lethbridge research library is the 16th federal science library lost due to budget cuts and closures since 2012. In the case of seven libraries in the department of fisheries and oceans, researchers now say valuable research data has been lost, never to be recovered. As for savings, no proof has been provided.

We do not know if the same thing happened with research data once resident in Lethbridge. The fact that “the established government of Canada retention policy and procedures were strictly adhered to,” as Agriculture Canada contends, provides inadequate assurance.

The future is built upon the past. We do not know, nor does Agriculture Canada know, what agricultural information will prove vital to that future. That is the known unknown, so to speak.

The damage is done in Lethbridge.

Answers are needed before any other research is destroyed.

FEDERAL ELECTION

Farm leaders want more agriculture on campaign trail CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

T

hree weeks into the 42nd federal election and Canada’s agricultural sector has yet to warrant any significant mention on the campaign trail.

Some in Ottawa tried to change that trend Aug. 26, thanks to an agriculture specific panel discussion organized by the Hill Times and Canada’s supply managed sectors.

On the panel were Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett, Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute chief executive officer David McIness, University of Waterloo professor Bruce Muirhead and University of Toronto

professor Grace Skogstad.

In his opening remarks, Bonnett said Canada’s multibillion-dollar agricultural sector is being “ignored.”

He said raising the profile of Canada’s farming sector should be a key priority in the ongoing federal election campaign, and beyond.

Consumers are “confused,” he said, which means concerns and discussions around issues relating to social licence, which is broadly defined as the relationship between the producer and the customer, need to be addressed.

Meanwhile, Canadian politicians need to reassure farmers and processors that policy decisions made about agriculture are made based on facts and sound science rather than perceptions and rumours, he added.

Agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has repeatedly championed “sound science” as an integral part of his decisions on the file, but Bonnett said none of the political parties have steadfastly committed to the deci-

sion policy on the campaign trail.

Nor have the parties offered up many specific commitments for the sector.

The parties have made some promises: the Liberals and the NDP have committed to defending supply management and the Tories have recommitted to seeking out new trade opportunities. However, those pledges have, for the most part, been general in nature.

The NDP is the only federal party to have a national food strategy, which is expected to influence the party’s agriculture platform.

Bonnett said political discussions on the campaign trail should also focus on trade, labour, risk management, climate change, environmental issues and consumer confidence in the Canadian food sector.

Risk management is expected to become more of an issue in the coming weeks given Alberta’s recent province-wide agricultural disaster declaration because of

drought and hail. Some in the province have said crop insurance payments could top $1 billion this year, which is a heavy economic blow to a provincial bottom line already suffering from plunging oil prices.

Drought 2015 has yet to garner serious mention in the ongoing election campaign, despite concerns around hay shortages and questions about the effectiveness of federal risk management programs.

McIness said attention also needs to be paid to Canada’s position on the global stage. Canada needs a “strategy” if it is to take advantage of everything it has to offer globally, he added.

He said discussions are also needed about Canada’s competitiveness, particularly when up against heavily subsidized farm sectors in countries such as the United States and Europe.

He said the consumer trend of wanting to know what is going into food and the overall consumer-

t r u s t t ow a rd f o o d c a n n o t b e ignored. The sector and its policy makers must find a way to address these concerns.

“The trend is clear,” McIness said.

“The key question has to be what are we going to do as a sector to ensure that consumers in local markets and abroad consistently want Canadian food and food products?”

The panel discussion in Ottawa came the same week the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan asked all federal parties for a meeting and details about their agriculture platforms.

APAS members have said they want grain transportation, risk management, price parity, water issues and labour discussed during the election campaign.

Whether those conversations will actually happen remains to be seen.

Food security about more than production CATTLE CALL

Scientists start resisting alarmism EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

F

eeding the world is a noble goal, especially when one in eight people go hungry every day.

Food Banks of Canada reports a lower level of hunger in this country, but the numbers are rising.

Nationally and worldwide, levels of hunger are a growing concern.

In the face of these numbers, an easily conceived remedy is to increase agri-food production and drive more commodities and food through the system.

However, several reports highlighting food security do not refer to such a simplistic solution.

Instead, they talk about the need for better government policies surrounding food supply.

A Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report says 40 percent of the food in the United States is wasted.

And although it would be easy to blame our over-consumptive American neighbours for their wastefulness, it appears that we Canadians are equally as guilty of excessive waste.

The NRDC report, Oxfam and Food Banks of Canada all refer to the need for better domestic and foreign policy that is broader than simply increasing production.

ROBERT ARNASON, REPORTER

It’s important to develop a better understanding of the entire picture of food security rather than attributing hunger solely to a lack of agricultural production. | FILE PHOTO The North American food waste numbers should cast an embarrassing shadow over our individual food consumption practices, but the real power in the numbers is the perspective that they allow us to develop.

Such a perspective could be used to better position Canadian agrifood production as a global leader and desired brand.

So rather than blindly increasing production, I hope the discussion and resulting policy that drives provincial and national direction will include an evaluation not only of the potential to produce more in a changing environment but also the potential to better manage what we produce,

distribute and consume.

Developing a better understanding of the entire picture of food security rather than simply attributing hunger to a lack of agricultural production is crucial to becoming a global food security leader.

The recent announcement of $37.2 million for the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS) at the University of Saskatchewan may enhance the ability to use Canadian innovation for global change.

The new funding is directed toward innovative genomic research to position Canada as a world leader in digital and computational agriculture.

However, the ability to produce more in challenging conditions is only one part of the solution.

The great opportunity that this funding provides, should the GIFS choose to recognize it, is the potential to use Canadian innovation as a lever to improve the larger policy, both nationally and globally.

Leadership directed toward that magnitude of change will definitely serve to increase GIFS’s record as a contributor of solutions to the global challenge of food security.

It’s a record that Canadians can be proud of.

HARVEST

Uneven maturity creates agonizing harvest HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

H

arvest this year is like pulling a bandage off a wound slowly rather than yanking it quickly and getting it over with.

In the areas that were seriously dry during the spring and much of the summer, harvest will seem interminable.

Combines were rolling in pea and lentil crops by early August, which is what you’d expect in a drought year. Most of those crops had relatively even germination so they matured in a timely fashion.

Not so with many other crops, where strips and patches never germinated until the middle or

even the end of June. Much of the crop is dead ripe, but there are still too many immature plants for the combines to roll.

As this is being written, we’re about half way through combining brown mustard. In some spots, a mustard crop was actually starting to flower underneath the crop that we cut. It’s amazing we were able to nip the pods off the mature growth without running too much of the green material through the combine.

The other mustard fields have too many green pods. We’re babysitting half a tandem truck load of high moisture mustard from taking samples and trying to find something dry enough to harvest.

Interestingly, an intercrop of chickpeas and flax matured early and has been combined. It seemed that wherever the chickpeas didn’t all germinate, the flax did and vice versa. As a result, there wasn’t as much regrowth and we were able to grind it through the combine before weeds became too bad. We

didn’t even use a desiccant.

It was a low yield, like everything else is going to be this year, but it’s dry and in the bin and both crops have good quality. With harvest stalled, we’ve set up a cleaning system to separate the chickpeas from the flax.

It’s going to be a huge year for preharvest glyphosate applications as producers in the dry region try to manage late crop and extensive weed growth. Glyphosate is slow, but hopefully it will provide some lasting control of Canada thistle.

Picking the proper timing for application in a multi-stage crop is quite a guessing game.

Weed growth is horrendous in some fields. With poor crop germination, there was limited crop competition, and weeds love that.

Herbicide applications may have controlled the early weed flushes, but many more weeds came when the rains finally arrived and by then it was too late for control measures.

In addition to big patches of Canada thistle, kochia is also thriving.

Many of the fields that have been harvested are now green with weed growth.

We have flax that was seeded before the chickpea- flax intercrop, which is still a long way from harvest. There was actually a sprinkling of blue flowers in it when pre-harvest glyphosate was recently applied. Every stage from flowering to dead ripe is represented.

Our canaryseed will be the last to combine. The question is whether the late germinating plants will make seed or whether they will be lost to frost. In some spots, the green plants are nearly a foot higher than the mature plants because they’ve had adequate moisture to develop properly.

It’s ironic that such a piddling harvest can take so much time, effort and money. It hurts more when the bandage comes off slowly.

cademics can be a nasty bunch. They are quick to criticize the research of fellow scientists if they disagree with methods or conclusions.

This aggressive behaviour is a normal part of scientific debate and discovery. But when the topic is controversial, non-scientists like to jump into the arena and start pummeling.

Such is the case of Shelley McGuire, a biological sciences professor and lactation expert at Washington State University.

In Ju l y , W SU i s s u e d a n e w s release on McGuire’s research into glyphosate and breast milk.

McGuire collected milk and urine samples from 41 lactating women living in and around Pullman, Wash. The area has productive farmland, and many of the women were likely exposed to the herbicide, including 10 who lived on or next to a farm. Five had actually mixed or applied glyphosate.

The results showed that glyphosate levels were non-existent or extremely low in the wome n ’s u r i n e a n d t h e re w a s n o glyphosate in the breast milk samples.

The results are intriguing, but McGuire is no longer talking about the study. Pro-organic and antiGMO groups have sent her an inordinate amount of hate mail. She is holding off on media interviews until the study is published, likely later this year.

McGuire’s case demonstrates how some activists destroy the credibility of a scientist when they don’t agree with a result.

The behaviour is disheartening, but a group of female science writers are fighting back.

On Sept. 17, the women are holding an event in Washington, D.C., called Women Fighting the Culture of Alarmism: come meet the science defenders.

The writers want to debunk myths around food and “reassure moms that the world is not as scary as the alarmists would have (us) believe.”

In other words, the female writers are sounding their own alarm: science cannot be silenced.

It’s a message desperately needed in the age of un-reason. robert.arnason@producer.com

WALL ABSENT To the Editor; The Saskatchewan legislature ended in June with premier Brad Wall making the statement that the session was good, but added the laughable statement that the opposition party was weak in opposing the government.

It would appear Wall has a short memory in relation to the Harper government.

When the Harper government destroyed the farmer-owned single-desk Canadian Wheat Board,

the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration pastures, the Indian Head Tree Nursery, reduced the benefits of AgriInvest, gutted the AgriStability program, closed agricultural research stations, burned their libraries, and reduced farmer control over farm saved seed, where was the Wall opposition?

These insane changes in farm policy will lead to money flowing out of Saskatchewan to foreign countries. Aside from trying to pick a fight with Alberta’s new premier, our Conservative premier has done nothing to protect rural Saskatchewan or those who depend on the

food we produce.

On July 31, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz gave a windfall to a foreign grain company by allowing his appointed directors to “sell” the remaining assets of the CWB. This sale did not realize one penny for the federal government or farmers who paid all of its costs. This must be the new Harper economy sale.

Lyle Stewart, minister of agriculture for Saskatchewan, made the naive statement that this will lead to more competition in the marketplace.

These “new” owners are not new.

They were buyers before and they purchased grain from the destroyed

farmer controlled CWB. Now they can play farmers off against each other to get cheaper grain.

When Wall complains about a weak opposition, he needs to look in the mirror. I hope he can see these changes are not positive to Saskatchewan and he will finally stand up for what is right and fair for its citizens, rather than always breathing Harper’s recycled air.

Eric Sagan, Melville, Sask.

KUDOS TO GERRY RITZ To the Editor; Reading letters to the editor, there are those that seem to continually claim how great the CWB was.

I checked the average price my farm received for wheat for a number of years: 2014 $5.89 per bushel, 2013 $6.91/bu., 2012 $6.04/bu.

2011 $6.48/bu., 2010 $3.44/bu., 2009 $4.61/bu. I don’t see any premiums for the above numbers for when the CWB had control of the marketing of my wheat.

I can also remember the initials being so low that if you delivered wheat in the fall you owed the elevator money. So much for cash flow.

Some try to claim the CWB was great at moving grain.

One recent year, I delivered close to one half of an “A” wheat contract in September of the year after the crop year closed, even though I had been willing to deliver at any time after signup. I just wasn’t allowed to deliver.

The CWB supporters like to think the CWB could set its price, but when you only have 11 percent of the world trade you are not a price setter. They can’t seem to understand this.

Thank you, Gerry Ritz, for taking the heat that the die-hard CWB supporters dream up and for giving farmers the opportunity to market our grain.

John Simpson, Vermillion, Alta.

Grain Farmers of Ontario has never threatened to use pesticides more harmful to bees. Left without the option of using neonicotinoid-treated seed due to recent regulations, many farmers will be forced to use far more detrimental products, like foliar sprays, that are arguably more harmful to the environment and farmers.

Grain Farmers of Ontario is simply looking out for the well-being of its farmer-members. Advising members to seek legal advice when bees are housed on their property ensures their own protection; many grain farmers and beekeepers have expressed concern over the return to foliar sprays, and it is important the beekeeper assumes responsibility for the hive.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Tweets offer chance to debate merits and drawbacks of supply management PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

R

ecently, a Reuters wire service story became available to The Western Producer on how European dairy operators are struggling to remain profitable in a global market decline, just as the 30-year-old quota system that lim-

ited their output was dismantled, which is contributing to a global dairy oversupply.

Since the Canadian supply management system is under pressure because of Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, I published the story on Producer.com, tweeted it out, and within minutes received an interesting response on twitter from Chuck Penner of Left Field Commodities.

The response was: “Two Words: New Zealand.”

Attached to his tweet was a graphic, based on information from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, which

showed the difference in overall growth in the dairy sectors of both the Canadian and New Zealand dairy sectors from 1980 to present.

The Canadian trend line showed a stable yet relatively flat growth, which would be expected in a supply managed system.

In contrast, the New Zealand dairy sector doubled its revenue since the mid-1990s.

Penner tweeted again: “Two more words: Lost opportunity.”

I responded to Penner’s tweet with a question: @LeftFieldCR Do you think concerns Cdn dairy can’t compete with big USA dairy and Asian markets

are too far away from #EastCdnAg are overblown?

His response: @CDNag Won’t be easy and certainly some pain. But being locked into only meeting Cdn demand isn’t much of a future.

Canadian dairy producers are in a different market than New Zealand, but the idea of not having access to growing world markets shouldn’t be lost on efficient Canadian dairy, chicken and egg producers.

Canadian representatives at the TPP negotiation table face the dilemma: easier access to massive markets for commodities such as cash crops and livestock comes at a

price that likely includes our supply management systems.

With the federal election underway, political parties seeking votes in agricultural areas should consider describing their vision on how the sectors currently operating under a supply management framework in Canada can actually benefit from access to growing markets through trade deals such as the TPP. Or, if their vision doesn’t include growth in the agriculture sectors operating under supply management, at least be honest and start describing what the compensation packages are going to look like. robin.booker@producer.com

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Szabo also refers to the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists report, where Canadian honeybee losses for the winter of 2014-15 were reported. What he neglects to mention is that this number is significantly lower than the 58 percent Ontario losses reported in the winter of 2013-2014; this year’s numbers are one-fifth lower. This is largely due to the immense efforts farmers put in to minimize pollinator exposure to dust when planting corn and soybeans by using the fluency agent as well as dust deflectors.

There have been recent claims that European canola planted without neonicotinoids have higher yields than previous years when crops were planted with neonicotinoids.

However, canola harvest in the European Union has just begun, and it’s too early to be making these predictions. In addition, production totals do not include fields completely destroyed due to high insect pressures. Extremely favourable weather conditions that have not been experienced in the EU in recent years can largely be attributed to whatever increases being reported.

COLOSS, a global honey bee research organization located in Switzerland, just released a study that looks at the over wintering bee deaths in the EU from last year and two years ago. It found the overall proportion of colonies lost was estimated as 17.4 percent, twice that of the previous winter. This also correlates with the 2013 ban of neonicotinoids imposed on European farmers. Now, two years later, bee mortality has not decreased.

Grain Farmers of Ontario recognizes the importance of working together with other farmers, but it is important to do so in a way that is not harmful or detrimental to the well-being of its own farmers.

FARMLAND FLOODED

Proposed water diversion project draws fire Sask. considers diverting water from Big Quill and Little Quill lakes; opposition calls plan reckless to join, flooding farmland and threatening highways and a rail line.

But now some members of the public want more information about how the plan will affect other water bodies.

The opposition NDP said diverting saline water to Last Mountain Lake is reckless and won’t fix the problem.

“It’s a really unique and challenging one for us,” said Patrick Boyle, spokesperson for the province’s

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

A proposed diversion project designed to lower water levels in Big Quill and Little Quill lakes is drawing criticism and has sparked a petition for more information.

The Saskatchewan government is expected to decide later this fall on whether to proceed with the project. Record high water levels recently, have caused the two lakes

Water Security Agency.

The agency contracted environmental consultants Golder Associates to assess the situation.

The Water Security Agency’s preferred proposal would divert water through Kutawagan Creek away from Big Quill and into Last Mountain Lake.

“The project itself essentially would mean berming one end of Kutawagan Lake and then creating a control structure on the creek on the other side and controlling that

outflow, and when we have to release outflow from there to Last Mountain Lake, we’ll do that,” Boyle said. “We’re not draining the Quill lakes.”

There is evidence of a natural creek channel, but part of the project would be to develop it more fully.

The Quill lakes are considered near-terminal water bodies that likely naturally flowed to Last Mountain Lake in the past. However, no outflow has been recorded

since the 1880s.

The last several years of flooding have put the lakes near natural spill levels. Highways 16 and 6, grid road 640 and the Canadian Pacific Railway line have all been threatened, and an estimated 85,000 acres of private and crown land have been flooded.

Boyle said natural evaporation during the heat and dry conditions earlier this summer were helping, but the rain that fell July 27 put the levels right back where they had been.

The diversion proposal has led to concerns about the quantity and quality of diverted water.

Boyle said in a peak flood year like 2011, the diversion would add seven centimetres to the peak on Last Mountain and one c m o n t h e Q u ’A p p e l l e l a k e s downstream.

Water quality monitoring stations to measure total dissolved solids, or salinity, has shown the diverted water would contain 2,400 milligrams per litre of total dissolved solids.

“That’s much lower than the 8,000 mg per litre of total dissolved solids that would come naturally from the Quill lakes,” Boyle said.

However, that is at the high end of the naturally occurring total dissolved solid levels in Last Mountain, which are usually 900 to 1,500 mg per litre but have been as high as 2,500, he said.

The Water Security Agency is continuing to run models to better understand the impacts that adding higher amounts would have.

Boyle said federal and provincial approvals are required.

The province would have to seek an emergency exemption if it wanted to move ahead this fall.

“If we were granted an exemption, we would still have to do the full assessment and mitigate any damages, but we could construct the project before the assessment is complete,” he said.

He also said information on other options the agency has considered is available on its website.

Boyle said the Kutawagan Diversion was selected because it seemed to best address the concerns of all stakeholders.

SOYBEANS

Soybeans thrill growers in Sask. this year Many producers didn’t get the advantage of a bumper crop because they were scared off by last year’s disappointment

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Hindsight is always flawless and usually pointless.

Still, Rob Stone would love to turn back the clock and take a bigger risk in May. “This is one of those years I wish I hadn’t tried 90 acres of soybeans. I wish I had a couple of thousand acres,” said Stone, who farms near Davidson, Sask.

In late August, Stone’s relatively small soybean crop looked tremendous. He said most of the pods had three to four seeds and the crop was flourishing.

“We’ve had adequate to surplus moisture in this area pretty much right through (the growing season). We never experienced any of the drought problems that a lot of areas of Saskatchewan have,” said Stone, who is also a Pioneer HiBred representative.

“They look really good.”

Stone has experimented with small acres of soybeans in previous years, including a crop failure in 2014.

“That didn’t work out because of frost and hail at the end of May. They didn’t come out of the ground,” he said.

“This (year) is our first, I’d call, real attempt at a decent (amount) of acres to get an idea of how it’s going to work for us.”

Stone is pleased with the experiment, and many soybean growers in Saskatchewan are likely feeling the same way.

Sherri Roberts, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s regional crops specialist in Weyburn, said soybean fields in southeastern Saskatchewan look promising.

Roberts, who was checking crops near Kendal, Sask., Aug. 26, said most soybean crops in the region were almost a metre tall, had three to four beans per pod and had no disease issues.

“The (soybeans) I’ve looked at, all are looking pretty good,” she said.

Rain arrived at the right time for many soybeans this year. | “We got our rains on time in 90 percent of the area…. The farmers down here have been pretty lucky.”

This year’s growing season is a marked improvement from last year, when spring rain drowned out hundreds of thousands of acres and delayed seeding in many parts of Saskatchewan.

Roberts said most soybean growers were able to plant in May this year, much earlier than 2014, when many producers seeded soybeans in the first two weeks of June.

Some soybean growers in eastern Saskatchewan were disappointed last fall, when yields were 12 to 30 bushels per acre.

The difficult year tempered soybean optimism in the region.

A few industry watchers were

expecting soybean acres to increase dramatically in the province, but Agriculture Canada estimates suggest that acreage is 300,000 this year, an 11 percent jump from 2014.

Roberts said producers shouldn’t pass judgment on a crop based on one growing season “Sadly, I’ll hear that they (producers) will try soybeans one year and if they don’t work, they’re not going to grow them again,” she said.

Weather was obviously a factor last year, but novice soybean growers need to learn the agronomic basics, such as appropriate variety, seeding date and proper equipment.

For example, Roberts said a farmer in southeastern Saskatchewan had a soybean crop last year that

should have yielded 40 bu. per acre.

However, his yields were less than that because he didn’t have the necessary harvesting equipment, such as a flex header on the combine.

“You’ve got to tweak your management, then a lot of times your success … increases.”

Stone said soybeans remain a novelty around Davidson, but producers in the region are curious.

“Farmers are looking for that one more crop that we can put in the rotation,” he said.

“It’s certainly something we want to get our hands dirty with.”

Roberts said most soybean fields in Saskatchewan need about three more weeks of frost-free weather to reach maturity and full yield potential. robert.arnason@producer.com

MAN. BEANS ALSO THRIVING • The Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers said in its Aug. 25 Bean Report that soybean development is slightly ahead of schedule and some fields are turning from green to yellow. The association said Manitoba’s soybean crop looks “very good.”

• Soybean yield potential is based on plant population, pods per plant, seeds per pod and seed size.

• The association has developed a smartphone application to help growers estimate soybean yields. For more information, visit www.manitobapulse.ca/ mpsg-bean-app/.

FARM PLANNING

Farm families urged to deal with risks before a crisis hits Part 2: This series looks at how farmers, agriculture consultants and service providers are professionalizing agriculture by integrating the many skills required by today’s complex and challenging industry.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Thousands of farms have been wrecked by an f-word that has nothing to do with farming.

It’s “family,” and it’s not always family fighting that’s the problem.

Instead, it’s the myriad misunderstandings that can make a functioning family farm fall apart in the wrong circumstances.

As a new generation of farmers take over farms across Western Canada, they are grappling with the undiscussed business left by

older generations as well as trying to sort out their own affairs.

As farm family planning expert Elaine Froese told a group of young farmers gathered in Winnipeg a few months ago, dealing with some family issues might not be as far off in the future as the “young” farmers of today think.

“The average widow’s age in Canada is 56,” she said in an interview.

“I have five female friends under 60 who have become farm widows.”

Those include a 33-year-old and a 35-year-old.

An entire industr y has been developed to clean up the business, financial and family messes left behind when a farmer dies suddenly or is unexpectedly forced out of farming. However, experts such

ELAINE FROESE FARM FAMILY PLANNING EXPERT

as Froese have been trying to get farm families to deal with the risks well before crises hit.

Farmers are becoming more like professionals in their work, taking a more thought-out approach to whole farm management and involving expert help before disasters strike.

This has allowed advisers and coun-

sellors to focus more on helping farmers avoid problems rather than deal with them afterward.

Farm succession is talked about a lot, but Froese said there are many elements that people seldom think about until too late. That can include creating a “personal wealth bubble” outside the farm so that some of the mess around wills and asset distribution doesn’t cause so much farm disruption.

Disability and mental instability can also create sudden management issues that aren’t covered by a will.

“Disability is almost harder because they’re not dead, and you don’t want them to be dead, but what if they can’t make decisions,” said Froese.

Thousands of farm families have suffered poor communication,

undertook little planning and fell apart over unresolved issues.

Younger farmers and progressive older farmers are now trying to treat their farms more like businesses and themselves as professionals. As a result, they are finding risks they never thought about before.

It might make for a less easy farming lifestyle, but worrying a bit more now can create a lot less stress and destruction later. ed.white@producer.com

GRAIN HANDLING

Farmers find producer car site makes life easier Rosalind Grain has shipped 382 cars of grain since it opened in February, which is music to its 11 owners’ ears

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

ROSALIND, Alta. — Matt Enright recently hauled 11,000 bushels of barley straight off the combine to the railway with no waiting in long lines to unload.

He weighed his truck at the community weigh scale, unloaded the barley at Rosalind Grain Ltd., a producer car loading facility, and then drove back to the field to combine another load.

The next day, the barley was loaded into three rail cars for Ritchie-Smith Feeds in southern British Columbia.

Enright is one of 11 owners of Rosalind Grain Ltd., one of six producer car loading facilities on the Battle River Railway.

Farmers have shipped 382 cars of grain out of the Rosalind facility since it opened in the beginning of February. The old Alberta Wheat Pool elevator at Rosalind used to ship about 300 cars during the entire year.

Building the $2.1 million loading facility was a big decision for the local farmers, who for years dragged their augers to town, waited for the train to spot the cars and loaded directly into them.

“Depending on the train was always the issue and it deterred everyone from hauling,” said Kevin Davis, a local farmer and one of the facility owners.

Few farmers wanted to stop their combines during harvest or haul the auger to town in -40 C weather when the cars were spotted in winter.

A core group of farmers continued to load producer cars and over the years added hopper bins to the rail siding to make loading easier.

They also custom loaded cars for farmers.

Last year, the farmers took the next step to build a permanent facility on the Battle River Railway siding at Rosalind. The original

Ward Kvemshagen, of Rosalind, Alta., shells out some yellow peas during harvest. He said the peas have averaged about 52 bushels per acre over the entire field, a nice surprise in the dry year. Kvemshagen is one of the owners of Rosalind Grain, a producer car loading facility on the Battle River Railway. | MARY MACARTHUR PHOTO plan was for four farmers to build a facility that could hold six grain cars worth of grain.

“We were kind of shocked at the initial cost,” said Ward Kvemshagen, one of the owners.

They put out the word that they were looking for more farmers to join them and build a larger facility.

“If we consolidate and work together, there is a good business opportunity,” said Kvemshagen.

Their 22,000 bushel facility holds enough grain to load 22 grain cars, and they aim to load 20 to 30 grain cars a week.

“You get the advantage of producer cars with the convenience of not having to be there to load the cars,” said Kvemshagen.

The facility custom also loads producer cars for 30 other farmers.

The Rosalind facility is only a storage and loading facility. All the

grain coming to the facility has been previously graded and sampled and has a contract for sale.

Additional samples of grain are taken during unloading as an additional check for farmers.

Battle River Railway, the community owned short-line railway from Alliance to Camrose in central Alberta, hauled 2,200 grain cars last year, picking cars up at Heisler, Alliance, Forestburg, Galahad, Kelsey and Rosalind.

This year it wants to haul 2,400 car loads of grain, or eight million bu.

“They want us to succeed and we want them to succeed,” said Adam Enright.

Davis estimated that the farmers receive an extra 50 cents a bushel by shipping grain in producer cars, which is equivalent to $4 million staying in the Rosalind community. mary.macarthur@producer.com

PROPERTY RIGHTS

Property advocate advises Alta. to abolish squatter’s rights

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta’s property rights advocate has recommended that provincial legislation on adverse possession of real property, also known as squatter’s rights, be abolished.

Lee Cutforth made the recommendation in his 2014 report, which he filed in June and which has yet to be dealt with by the new NDP government.

The legislation allows people to claim ownership of land if they have been in open possession of it for 10 or more years.

“The real problem with adverse possession, even once you get beyond the civil dispute between two private parties, is that it kind of affects the integrity of the land titles system because it allows … the title

to be compromised and land to be hived off from the title without any notice of registration on the document,” Cutforth said Aug. 27.

Landowners and creditors rely on the provincial land titles system to determine ownership, but adverse possession can compromise that, he added.

“To me, it was just a problem because it allowed an unregistered interest or an unregistered claim on land to take priority over the registered ownership,” he said.

“It’s more important to maintain the integrity of the land registry.”

A case involving two landowners near Cardston, Alta., brought the legislation to public attention late last year.

One rancher, who had legal title to the land and had paid taxes on it since buying it in 1999, lost owner-

LEE CUTFORTH PROPERTY RIGHTS ADVOCATE

ship of about 10 acres to a neighbour who had been using the parcel for 10 years.

The case went to court, where a more complex situation of land use and past history was outlined, but adverse possession legislation was applied in the outcome.

Doug Carle, a lawyer from Taber, Alta., involved in the case, said then

that adverse possession was “an archaic concept that causes nothing but hardship and flies in the face of our entire land titles system.”

Alberta is the only province to retain such legislation, which dates back to British common law. There have been about 100 court cases involving squatter’s rights in the province.

A private member’s bill brought to the Alberta legislature in 2012 sought to abolish the law, but it died on the order paper after two readings when an election was called.

Cutforth referred to that failed bill in his report.

“Perhaps it is time to reintroduce and pass such a measure in order to strengthen the integrity of the registry system and the reliability of the title record,” Cutforth said in his

report.

“This would serve to preserve the protection that the land registry system is intended to offer landowners and the rights they hold in their property.”

The results of his recommendation to abolish adverse possession in Alberta law are yet to be determined.

Under the legislation that established the Property Rights Advocate office, the government must refer the recommendations to a committee within 10 sitting days of the report’s filing.

That step is scheduled to take place sometime in October, when the legislature resumes sitting. The committee will then have 60 days to consider the recommendations and report back to the legislature. barb.glen@producer.com

ECONOMY

U.S. farm income falls; investment continues Canadian farms are not expected to be hit as hard, partly because of decent crops and the low Canadian dollar

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DES MOINES, Iowa — American producers are tightening their belts as farm income drops in many sectors.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its farm income forecast Aug. 25 and despite higher than average potential yields from corn and soybeans, prices are down on both crops, as well as for pork and dairy products.

As well, avian flu decimated large numbers of poultry over the past year.

In real dollars, adjusted for inflation, net farm incomes will fall to levels not seen since 2002.

The report shows net incomes, in current dollars, of US$58.3 billion in 2015, a 36 percent drop from 2014’s estimate of $91 billion. This is off about 53 percent from a record high of $124 billion in 2013.

In a release after the report, secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack said despite the lower incomes, “the past several years have seen unprecedented highs in farm income.”

A strong American dollar and soft commodity markets are also keeping a lid on farm receipts, while farm operating costs and investment remains relatively stable, said the USDA report.

At a John Deere machinery event in late August, senior company officials said that while incomes are expected to be lower, American farmers are focused on growth.

Deere, like most machinery companies worldwide, has seen lower sales figures over the past year and has laid off large numbers of production employees.

“We are building in technologies that allow famers to be more efficient. When there is (farm income) pressure (as there is now) they keep investing so they can grow their businesses,” said Travis Becton, Deere’s director of marketing for the U.S. and Canada.

“When you think about the business we are in, and where the population is going to be by 2050, agriculture is great … for many reasons over the longer period,” he said.

USDA projections support this long-term outlook, suggesting that farmers will spend about $31.8 billion in 2015 on farm machinery, including trucks.

That’s down $ 1.2 billion from 2014, but above 2012 by $1 billion and 2013 by $2 billion. Tractor sales were not estimated separately, but need to remain strong to support total farm machinery sales because they have accounted for 45 percent of all machinery sales during the past three years.

Record sales of tractors took place in 2014, with about $18.5 billion being spent, compared to just over $ 16 billion in the previous two years.

By comparison, in 2010 American farmers spent $ 18 billion on all farm machinery.

C a n a d i a n i n c o m e s a re n o t expected to be hit as hard, despite

drought in parts of Western Canada. Farmer investments are expected to improve slightly because the crop has been better than expected, a low dollar has helped keep commodity prices strong and producers tended to hold back on spending in anticipation of a greater financial pinch than the 2015 crop appears to be delivering.

Steve Tomtene and his family farm 12,500 acres near Birch Hills, Sask., and said the better than expected crop and prices have helped confirm a recent decision to

invest in a new high-horsepower, tracked tractor due to the efficiencies it will bring.

“You have to keep investing in the tools that keep your bottom line up when things get tighter,” he said.

In the U.S., crop receipts for 2015 are expected to decrease from 2014 by $12.9 billion, about six percent.

Corn is biggest loser, likely down $7 billion. Soybeans might drop by about $3.4 billion and wheat $1.6 billion, says the USDA. Livestock receipts will likely be down $19.4 billion, nine percent,

largely due to lower milk and hog prices and poultry losses due to disease. Farm expenses are forecast fall by $1.5 billion, about half of one percent in 2015.

By the end of the year, American farmland prices are expected to have fallen by 2.1 percent from 2014 numbers, a $49 billion drop and farm debt will rise by 5.8 percent. Investments in machinery and other farm assets, with borrowed money, will increase 6.5 percent for 2015. mike.raine@producer.com

COMMUNITY INITIATIVE

The little co-operative that could Friendly’s Grocery in Inglis, Man., provides residents and tourists with local products and looks to expand services

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

INGLIS, Man. — Sixty-eight people pitched in $1,000 each with no foreseeable return on their investment to ensure their community had a grocery store.

They created Friendly’s Grocery Co-op Inc. in Inglis after consulting with the western Manitoba community of 150 people and researching co-operatives.

Ian Menzies, chair of the seven member co-op board, said it was a tough sell.

“We got lots of support for the idea but when it comes to $1,000, that was a pretty big number for most families,” he said. “The payback is long term, if at all.”

No dividends have been yet dispensed since the store opened last year, but sales and support have exceeded expectations, he said.

Menzies said the initial investment paid for renovations on the 80-year-old building, buying inventory and keeping the store running with a healthy bank balance. He said those that balked at first are now among the store’s many customers, which come from the local community and include visitors to a nearby lake, ski hill, provincial park and historic grain elevators.

The co-op concept made the best business sense in rural Manitoba.

“For a sole proprietor to start a business like this, it’s almost impossible,” Menzies said.

“That’s what people are faced with in rural communities, the outlay to get a business going.”

They received a boost from the local rural municipality and realtor, who negotiated a good price on the building.

In addition, volunteer labour kept costs down by helping renovate the building that had been vacant for a few years. The co-op board would eventually like to add more local and regional products.

“We will look for ways to perk it up more and keep people coming and keep people interested,” Menzies said.

This morning, the store is never empty for long. Pam Nernberg from Yorkton, Sask., pops in for supplies while camping at the Lake

of the Prairies.

“It’s handy to have a place nearby,” she said.

Later, Nathan Ferg, who works at a body shop in town, comes in to graze for lunch fixings.

Store manager Jane Prokopetz said Thursdays from 4 to 7 p.m. are their busiest, just after the store has been freshly stocked. They remain open six days a week until 7 p.m. and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Fresh produce, dairy, meat and deli move well in the store along with locally made products that include soap, teas, sausage and honey.

Her strategy is to provide what people are asking for and find ways to draw them in, pointing to a coffee stand, liquor sales and book exchange. Lottery tickets

may eventually be sold as well.

Precepts said there is good support for the business, which provides employment for a full-time manager and four other part-time workers drawn from the area. Inglis School also sells gift cards for the store as a fundraiser.

“Being community owned … I think the pride is still there,” said Prokopetz.

Friendly’s tries to keep prices competitive with nearby Russell, Man., to keep people from shopping elsewhere and to help the many seniors who are not able to drive.

“They will call us and we will drop off their groceries on our way home,” said Prokopetz. karen.morrison@producer.com

BERRY PICKING

Blackberries: cheers to the mean and nasty Cuts and scrapes are worth the pain when sipping on a smoothie while the snow blows

BY SHELLEY A. LEEDAHL FREELANCE WRITER

It’s early, which is important. The sun won’t be searing, my energy is high and my neighbours won’t likely be up to see me leave home in rubber boots, a floppy sun hat that ties beneath my chin and a purple-stained sweatshirt from my alma mater, the University of Saskatchewan.

I’m stealing away to the woods behind my house in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island. I’ve lived here since April 2014, and the pinch me factor is still intense, especially at this time of year. I almost matter-offactly stroll down the streets and pull a bounty of still-life paintingworthy pears, plums and apples off trees because they are dangling there, Eden-like.

No one could starve here, at least in the summer. Mostly, I am wild about the Himalayan blackberries.

They are delicious, everywhere (they’re invasive) and they are a full-time job.

My best friend, who was born and raised on the West Coast and, unimaginably, doesn’t even pick blackberries, says I need to go to Blackberry Pickers’ Anonymous.

Yes, I’m obsessing. My minimum four litre per day picking habit has evolved into a minimum eight litres. The season is short and plump, juicy berries are everywhere I turn.

Just a one-minute walk from my home, I could pick daily for hours and still not make a dent in the crop. They’re at the beach and it’s a superlative experience to pick a few pails, then go for a dip in the ocean, with the water providing a balm for my scratched arms and legs.

I literally can’t drive anywhere in my community without spotting richly abundant berry-picking sites. I close my eyes at night and see berries big as thimbles on branches.

I am always ready. I have one pair of rubber boots in my car and another at my back door along with hats, long-sleeved shirts, pants, pails, stools and small stepladders.

I have a large stick hidden in the bush behind my house for pulling down branches because the most desirable berries always seems to be a little out of reach.

And physically, the Himalayan blackberry is not the most congenial berry to pick. I draw blood every day. Even with protection, injuries abound. I have sacrificed my arms and sometimes my face and legs to this occupation to the point of being embarrassed to

meet people, lest they think I’ve been wrestling cats or barbed wire.

I sting plus my fingernails are tattered and stained. I often have several berry slivers in my fingertips.

Most dangerous, however, was when I hit blackberry land after first running 15 kilometres in the heat. Every time I reached up for a berry, I wobbled and nearly passed out. I could have easily blacked out in the thick of the woods with no one to find me except a berrymanic black bear.

I grew up in Saskatchewan and have been known to get excited about foraging just a handful of wizened blueberries in the Northern Provincial Forest.

I was a saskatoon berry-picking maniac when I lived near the woods in Middle Lake, Sask., with pail in one hand and leash of a large, straining redbone coonhound in the other.

I’m not about jams or jellies or pies. My goal is to pick enough to keep myself in blackberry smoothies for an entire year.

Blackberr y picking has now becom e a kind of meditation for me. It’s also a time when I can make phone calls to family and friends while simultaneously alerting bears that I’m sharing their territory and get my day’s fill of vitamin D. I do a load of stretching while in the bush so it’s a workout as well as a practical enterprise. On the flipside, I have neglected my writing and friends and I’ve ruined clothes via stains and tears.

I am constantly scrubbing berry stains off my countertops and floors. My fridge has seen cleaner days and quality zippered bags aren’t the cheapest item on the grocery shelf.

I have spilled many a pail, and stepped in a full one, and I once reached for a clump of berries without seeing the black snake that was curled around the branch.

The scrapes, mishaps, time and energy I’ve put into this are all worth it. In November and January and even next June, I’ll still be

enjoying scrumptious, healthy, purplish-green smoothies made with berries I battled against and beat.

ON THE FARM

Life hectic raising kids, healing sick animals Veterinarian couple juggles family and careers and raises sheep on the side

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

BALMORAL, Man. — Neil Versavel is not the type of person who likes to sit and relax.

Sitting in an office chair inside his veterinary clinic 20 minutes north of Winnipeg, Versavel held his onemonth-old son, Aiden, and continually swivelled the chair back and forth for seven to 10 minutes.

Many people rock or sway babies to keep the child calm, but it was obvious that Versavel was itching to get up and do something.

Constant motion is a normal part of life for Versavel. He is married with two young children, operates Equi-Tech Veterinary Clinic with his father and raises sheep.

Working 70 to 80 hours per week, including nights and weekends, is normal for Versavel.

“We do full on-call. Dad and I are on call every second night and every second weekend,” Versavel said.

“So when we’re busy, I usually work 28 out of 30 days a month.”

Versavel didn’t seem stressed by the workload or the demands of two children younger than three. He laughed and joked frequently while explaining how he became a mixed vet, tending to large and small animals, in and around Balmoral.

Versavel grew up on a farm north of Stonewall, Man., with his brother and parents, Hilary and Luc. Like many high achievers, Versavel knew what he wanted to do for a career at an early age.

“I was about eight when I first decided (to become a vet),” said Versavel, who graduated from the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009.

“Mom often worked nights (as an intensive care unit nurse in Winnipeg)…. Dad was a single veterinarian in his practice. So when Dad had to go to emergencies during the night … he would haul us along with him. So we got exposed to a lot.”

In addition to nursing and vet work, Versavel’s parents also operated a farm while raising two boys.

They still run the farm, producing hay and raising a herd of livestock, mostly cattle and sheep. The vet clinic is located on their farmyard.

As a boy, Neil developed an interest in livestock and briefly considered a full-time career as a farmer.

“For the longest time I also did want to farm,” he said, as his twoyear-old, Melodie, drew pictures at a desk in the veterinary clinic. “(But) I knew through veterinary that I could still be part of agriculture…. I just decided I would become a vet and maybe farm at the same time. It never occurred to me to do anything different.”

Versavel met his wife, Valerie Millette, at vet school in Saskatoon.

She grew up in Calgary but after graduation they moved to the eastern Prairies to begin the next stage of their relationship.

ON THE FARM

NEIL VERSAVEL & VALERIE MILLETTE Balmoral, Man.

“I somehow managed to convince her to come to Manitoba and live a rural life,” Versavel said with a shake of his head and a laugh.

Adjusting to life on 80 acres near the village of Balmoral wasn’t difficult for Millette because she thought Calgary was too big and busy.

Both of her parents grew up in Saskatchewan: her father in Melville and her mother in Gravelbourg. Millette, perhaps for genetic reasons, was drawn toward open countryside and a simpler life.

“I think it’s in my blood…. I consider myself a prairie girl. I always felt at home visiting my relatives in Saskatchewan and I really enjoyed my time living in Saskatoon,” she said, adding she loves the pasture and woodland on their property in Manitoba’s southern Interlake region.

“It’s like I’m camping every day.

I’m in heaven. It’s absolutely wonderful.”

Like her husband, Millette knew she wanted to be a vet when she was in elementary school.

In Grade 4, her teacher assigned a class project where students had to choose a potential career.

“That’s the one I picked and it just kind of stuck with me.”

Millette’s grandfather was a medical doctor in rural Saskatchewan and she wanted to maintain the family’s connection to medicine, in a slightly different way.

“I’ve always felt drawn to learning about my roots,” said Millette, whose family has been in Canada for 13 generations, beginning in Acadia.

Besides running the clinic with his father, Versavel has also taken

over the family’s sheep operation.

He raises purebred Suffolk sheep and is part of the Canadian Lamb Producers Co-operative.

He described raising sheep as a part-time gig that keeps him occupied.

“Say I quit farming… If you’re the kind of person who likes (to be busy), you’re not going to do noth-

ing… I’ve always enjoyed working with livestock.”

Like all parents who attempt to balance career and parental duties, Versavel and Millette are constantly on the go, but both are satisfied with their choice of vocation.

However, since graduating six years ago, they have learned that a vet’s job description is much

broader than treating cats, dogs and horses.

“A lot of people think veterinary medicine is about working with animals,” Versavel said.

Choosing tree suitable for climate key to success IN THE COUNTRY GARDEN

ALBERT PARSONS

T

rees are one of nature’s great wonders. They are magnificent things that boost our emotional health and provide other tangible benefits, such as supplying wildlife habitat and protection from wind and soil erosion.

Trees can reduce heating and cooling costs by shading a home or deflecting cold winter winds. They can also clean the air and produce oxygen.

Trees are generally planted either in the spring or fall. Some deciduous trees, such as aspen and elm, seem to have a better survival rate if planted in the spring but I prefer the fall for planting a tree.

The soil is warm and will remain so well into November, whereas the soil in the spring is cold.

Container-grown trees from a reputable nursery can be planted any time during the growing season, but planting trees in the heat of midsummer causes them undue stress, so it is best to wait until fall.

If the tree that is to be planted has not yet leafed out in the spring or has shed its leaves in the fall, it will be less stressed by the planting process.

Select the right tree for the right location. Consider its size, the expo-

sure and take note of its zone rating. I live in Zone 2 and will hesitate to plant any tree rated higher than Zone 3 because it may not thrive and might not even survive the winter.

We often stretch the zone envelope with other plants in our gardens, such as perennials and shrubs, but it is not a good idea with trees because they are expensive, long-term investments in our landscapes.

When making your choice, determine the purpose the tree will serve.

Make sure to take into account the mature size of the tree so that it is not planted too close to buildings and driveways.

Deciding whether an evergreen or a deciduous tree will be planted will depend on personal preference as well as the purpose the tree will serve.

Keep in mind that evergreens don’t involve the annual task of raking leaves in the fall.

Ensure that the location you choose is appropriate. Don’t plant trees under overhead wires or on spots where there are underground pipes or conduits.

If the tree has a particularly invasive root system, keep it away from the house foundation and underground sewer pipes to prevent future problems.

After choosing the tree and selecting the site, dig a hole twice as wide and a little deeper than the root ball of the tree. At the bottom of the hole, ensure there is a pedestal of soil in the centre on which the root ball will sit.

This ensures excess water will drain toward the outside of the hole if the tree is overwatered.

Remove the tree from its contain-

er. If it is in burlap with a wire cage, cut the wires and remove them. If you are afraid the root ball will collapse when you do this, do it after placing the tree into the hole and then cut the burlap into pieces so that you can pull it off the root ball.

Some people maintain that the burlap and wires can stay in place but I believe they may impede root penetration, so I recommend removal.

If the roots on the exterior of the root ball seem to encircle it and the tree seems root bound, you may want to rough up the outside of the root ball to encourage the roots to begin growing outward into the soil when it is planted.

Try to have the tree standing upright as you begin to backfill the hole with good quality soil.

As you fill the hole, add water and soil until the hole is full, all the while keeping the tree upright. Use a level to determine it is standing straight.

Some tamping might be required to make sure that there are no air pockets, although watering will usually eliminate air pockets from the soil.

Add soil until the tree is planted at the same depth it was planted in its container or just covering where the trunk meets the roots. Do not add fertilizer.

Hopefully the hole will have been dug deeply enough that there will still be a slight depression around the tree to hold water when the tree is watered.

The next week when the soil settles, you may have to add a bit more soil. If the tree is a large one or if it is just a sapling, it may require staking.

A larger specimen might require three stakes while one stake will be

A tree should be planted so the place where the roots attach to the trunk is just beneath the soil.

The root ball should be roughed up to encourage roots to grow outwards rather than around the root ball. | ALBERT PARSONS PHOTO suffice for a sapling.

Use ties that will not damage the bark and ensure the tree is perfectly upright when the staking job is completed.

Keep your newly planted tree watered but not waterlogged until freezeup. If it is an evergreen tree, you might want to erect a burlap windscreen to protect the tree from sun and wind damage during the winter.

The screen should not touch the tree and should be fastened to sturdy stakes that will withstand strong winter winds.

My sister’s daughter was killed in a horrific car accident recently. No one is entirely sure what happened. Her vehicle, or what was left of it, was found on a country road not far from her dad’s farm. It is so sad.

My niece was wonderful and well liked in the community, was getting registered to return to university in the fall and had just spent the summer helping her parents repaint all of the buildings on the home site.

The real problem is my sister. She is overwhelmed with grief. None of us know what to do or say. This was her only child. Without her, my sister seems to be totally lost. It is like she is living in some kind of a haze.

I do not know what to do.

Can you think of anything that the rest of us might do?

A:

These are difficult times for all of you. You have two problems. One is your own grief over the death of your niece.

As much as you might want to help your sister, you are not likely to have much of an impact until you have reached some kind of a resolution yourself.

I am not suggesting that you ignore your sister. I simply want you to understand that your grieving is as important as your sister’s and the more that the two of you can simply be together, the better it could be for everyone.

The other problem is how to help your sister. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could find the right thing to say at the right time to a grieving parent? I never know what to say. From what I have seen and heard, that is probably true for most people.

What grieving parents want desperately is to have their children come back but the horrible reality is that is not going to happen.

They have to come to terms with that and the rest of us have to let them. All that we can do is listen and support them as best we can.

When you are with your sister, don’t offer advice.

Instead, listen to her when she wants to talk and just be with her when she wants to have a moment in silence.

Don’t abandon her. The rest of the community and her friends and neighbours will get back to their daily responsibilities soon, well before your sister has come to terms with her grief. That is when she will need you most.

CORN ON AND OFF THE COB

Enjoying summer, kernel after kernel TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

W

e look forward to corn season all year long. Harvested at the peak of ripeness, corn is great boiled, grilled, sauted or simply raw.

How to choose and store corn Peeling leaves back to peek at the kernels is not proper corn buying etiquette. Doing this makes the cob become shrivelled and starchy sooner. A good cob can be chosen without disturbing it.

First, look at the top of the husk for tiny brown worm holes. Next, feel the cob through the husk. You want plump full kernels with rows that are close to each other. Check the silk. It should be soft, not dry and black. The husk should be bright green, moist and tightly wrapped against the cob.

Fresh-picked corn is best. If you cannot eat it that day, it can be stored up to two days in the husk in a plastic bag or the crisper drawer. For longer storage, blanch in boiling water for two minutes, shock in ice cold water, drain and freeze.

How to grill corn Remove outer dry leaves and peel back the others to remove the silk.

Push back the leaves to cover the cob and place on a hot grill. Watch carefully and turn as it chars. Serve with soft butter, plain or flavoured. Try these ideas for flavoured butter 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter with 1 1/2 tablespoons (22 mL) finely chopped canned chipotle chiles and two teaspoons (10 mL) fresh lime juice.

Whisk 1/4 cup (60 mL) vegetable oil, 1/3 cup (75 mL) grated Parmesan cheese, one minced garlic clove, one tablespoon (15 mL) fresh lime juice, one teaspoon (5 mL) ground cumin, 1/4 c. (60 mL) chopped fresh cilantro, 1/2 tsp. (2 mL) hot pepper sauce.

Add chili powder to softened butter, to taste.

CORN SALSA 3 cobs corn, grilled and kernels cut from cob 1 can black beans, 398 mL drained and rinsed 1/2 c. finely chopped 125 mL cilantro 1 small red onion, finely chopped 1 red bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped 1/4 c. fresh lime juice 60 mL 2 tbsp. olive or canola oil 30 mL 1 tomato, diced and drained, optional 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced, optional salt to taste Combine ingredients. It is best if made an hour or more in advance so the flavours come together.

Refrigerate until served.

SWEET CORN AND POBLANO SOUP Poblano chiles are mild with few seeds. Grill over coals until blackened, remove to a paper or plastic bag and let steam until cool enough to handle. Peel off the charred skin, then remove seeds and chop.

3 large cloves of garlic, unpeeled vegetable oil for coating garlic 1/4 tsp. coriander seeds 1 mL 1/4 tsp. cumin seeds 1 mL 3 sweet onions 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 10 mL 1/2 fresh jalapeno chile 2 fresh poblano chiles, roasted and peeled 3 cobs corn 6 c. chicken stock 1.5 L 1 c. heavy cream 250 mL 12 long fresh cilantro sprigs, tied with string 2-3 tbsp. fresh lime juice 30-45 mL 1 red sweet pepper, roasted and peeled Grill poblano, red sweet peppers and corn over a hot barbecue until peppers are blackened and corn is slightly charred.

When cool enough to work with, remove the charred skin, stem, seeds and ribs from peppers. Coat garlic lightly with vegetable oil and wrap in foil. Cook on the barbecue until soft, about 15 minutes.

In a small heavy skillet, dry toast coriander and cumin seeds over mod-

erately high heat, stirring until fragrant. Grind to a powder in a mortar and pestle.

Chop onions and cook with two tablespoons (30 mL) oil in a heavy Dutch oven until softened. Remove about one third of the onions to a bowl and set aside. Wearing rubber gloves, remove seeds and dice jalapeno. Chop roasted poblanos and red pepper.

Remove kernels from the cobs of corn and set cobs aside.

Add jalapeno, one cup of corn kernels to the pot and cook over moderate heat, stirring, two minutes. Add ground spices, one-half cup of poblanos. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook two minutes.

Break reserved corn cobs into thirds and add to pot, then add chicken stock. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. Discard corn cobs. Squeeze garlic pulp from skins and stir in.

Puree soup in a blender.

Transfer pureed soup back to the Dutch oven, with cilantro and lime juice. Add remaining poblano, onions, corn and red pepper and heat over moderate heat. Add cream and heat to hot but not to a boil. Discard cilantro and serve immediately.

It will keep refrigerated for three days.

TEX MEX CORNBREAD 2 c. cornmeal, yellow 50 mL or white 2 tbsp. all purpose flour 30 mL 1 tbsp. baking powder 15 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1/4 c. diced roasted 60 mL poblano peppers 1/4 c. diced onion 60 mL 1/2 c. fire roasted 125 mL corn kernels 1/2 finely diced jalapeno, without seeds 1/2 c. cheddar cheese 125 mL

ITCHY SORES

Rash caused by shingles virus best treated with oral medication HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

What is the name of the cream you mentioned in your article on shingles? A small patch on my

back appeared after having gastro surgery, during which 18 inches of small intestines were removed. The following year, sores appeared. I have never had it checked because I didn’t have pain, but it itches about three times a day. It’s different than mosquito bites that are itchy all the time.

A:

I am not sure if the sores are shingles. I am wondering if losing 18 inches of bowel has anything to do with it. If it was a result

of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, the rash may be a symptom of an autoimmune disease such as Lupus. Certain bowel diseases are associated with rashes. Irritable bowel syndrome may also be accompanied by a rash. Food allergies such as gluten sensitivity might be to blame.

Shingles lesions are usually very painful but do not generally last for more than a few weeks. The rash follows the distribution pattern of the affected nerve because the

shingles or chicken pox virus lives in the nerve roots.

It can affect any nerve, even the nerves to the eye. Most often, it is seen on the trunk or torso and the red and weeping blisters follow a curved pattern close to the ribs. It can be on one side or both sides of the body. Pain can sometimes persist for months or even years after the rash has disappeared and is called “post herpetic neuralgia.”

Analgesics may be needed.

Cream is slightly helpful in dealing

with the pain and itching of the shingles rash. Over-the-counter remedies include antihistamines by mouth or as an ointment, or antiitch soothing lotions such as calamine lotion. Low dosage hydrocortisone ointments that are used for itchy insect bites can be used.

Because the virus is in the body, the best treatment is prescribed anti-viral medications taken orally.

FEDERAL RULING

Irrigation a saving grace in drought

Appeal court upholds rail interswitch decision

Report says when crops are good, the Alberta economy benefits

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Dry conditions in Alberta this year highlight the value of irrigation.

However, Erwin Braun, chair of the Alberta Irrigation Projects Association, says the irrigation system demonstrates its worth whether there is drought or flood.

“We were able to withstand this drought better than we did in 2001,” said Braun.

“We ended up the season with the reservoirs all in really good shape.

No farmers couldn’t access water when they needed it and the irrigation crops all look really good, and that is a direct result of the investments made by both by irrigation districts, government and farmers.”

A study commissioned by the AIPA, which was released Aug. 20, shows the benefits of irrigation to the provincial and national economy.

The report found that every cubic metre of water delivered for irrigation creates $3 for the Alberta economy and $2 in labour income.

The benefits to crops and food production are particularly obvious in a dry year like this one, said Braun, and government should put the same effort into drought mitigation as it is now putting into flood mitigation projects as a result of major flood damage in 2013.

“We have several opportunities already identified for enhancing off stream storage,” said Braun.

“There are still some good places where we can increase infrastructure of irrigation districts by constructing reservoirs, reservoirs that can be used to capture flows when we have high flows.”

The report said farmers and irrigation districts have improved the efficiency of water use. Braun said farmers in Alberta’s 13 irrigation districts have spent a cumulative $1 billion on irrigation equipment in the last 20 years.

Almost 68 percent of the irrigation systems are now low-pressure centre pivots, with 15.6 percent still using side-roll systems and 8.8 percent using high-pressure centre pivots. Surface systems such as flood irrigation, which are the least efficient, make up the remainder.

He said irrigation districts have replaced some canals with underground pipelines to reduce seepage and evaporation, and those efforts continue.

“We’re irrigating 20 percent more land with 20 percent less water over the past 20 years. That’s what that study shows.”

Braun said expansion of the system is possible, but it will have to come through greater efficiency.

“We plan on expanding and leaving more water in the rivers. That’s the story that we want out there, and we think that is a message that Albertans want to hear and need to hear.”

The Alberta government’s irriga-

The province used to pay 86 percent of those costs, and Braun said the study indicates that the benefit to the provincial economy from irrigation, relative to farmers’ benefit, is much greater than those percentages indicate.

“Our study shows that the benefit is 90-10, so you could make an argument that (funding) should be 90-10. It’s a good news story in terms of investments.”

The 156-page study was conducted by Paterson Earth and Water Consulting of Lethbridge. barb.glen@producer.com

ABOUT ALBERTA IRRIGATION • 1.7 million acres are irrigated.

• 1.4 million acres are within 13 southern irrigation districts.

• Food processing related to irrigation has created 17,000 full-time jobs.

• Irrigation industry adds $3.6 billion to Alberta gross domestic product annually.

• Irrigation provides recreation, hydro power generation and drought mitigation.

• Irrigation food sector contributes 20 percent of Alberta’s total agri-food on 4.7 percent of its cultivated land base.

• Efficiency improvements in last 20 years have reduced water use by 200 million cubic metres.

• Irrigated crop and livestock production has created 38,000 jobs.

• Irrigated area has expanded by 74,000 acres in the last 20 years.

A federal court has upheld a 2013 ruling by the Canadian Transportation Agency that forced Canadian National Railway to honour railway interswitching provisions in southern Manitoba.

In a decision handed down last month, the Federal Court of Appeal ruled the CTA acted properly when it supported an application by Richardson International asking CN to move rail cars between Letellier, Man., and nearby Emerson, Man. The cars were then to be switched to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway network for delivery into the United States.

Richardson requested the service in 2013, but CN declined. Interswitching rules force one railway to pick up cars from a shipper and deliver them to another carrier for the line haul.

The CTA ruled in December 2013 that CN was obligated to honour Richardson’s request and comply with provisions contained in the Canada Transportation Act. The decision would force CN to pick up empty rail cars delivered to Emerson by BNSF and move them to Richardson’s elevator at L etellier, 20 kilometres from Emerson on the U.S. border. CN would also be obliged to pull loaded rail cars from Letellier back to Emerson.

CN appealed the CTA ruling last year, suggesting the agency erred in its assessment of the circumstances and the railway company’s obligations.

The Federal Court of Appeal ruling was heard in Toronto March 4 and the decision was released Aug. 17. It dismissed the CN appeal with costs.

CN officials said the railway company is reviewing the decision and is considering its options.

Richardson’s Red River South elevator is located on CN’s Letellier subdivision, 95 kilometres south of Winnipeg.

BNSF’s track runs as far as Emerson, where the two companies’ rail networks are connected.

Interswitching provisions in the Canada Transportation Act are a sore spot for major railways.

Last year, Ottawa attempted to provide more options to grain shippers by extended interswitching provisions to a 120 km radius of recognized interchange locations, up from 30 km previously.

CN and Canadian Pacific Railway say interswitching reduces railway efficiency. brian.cross@producer.com

GOING FULL BORE

AG NOTES LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS RECEIVE TAX RELIEF Agriculture Canada has released a list of designated regions on the Prairies where tax deferrals have been authorized for this year.

The designation allows producers who face feed shortages to defer a portion of their 2015 sale proceeds of breeding livestock for one year to help replenish stock in the following year.

Earnings from deferred sales are included as part of the producer’s income in the next tax year.

Those proceeds may be partially offset by the cost of replacing breeding animals. A document from the Alberta Ag-Info Centre called Understanding the Federal Livestock Tax Referral provides an overview of the program and explains how the deferral is calculated.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Lethbridge College and the provincial Agriculture Financial Services Corp. have developed a partnership involving the college’s agriculture business risk management program.

The college said in an Aug. 21 news release that AFSC “will provide an industry review and subject matter support” to strengthen curriculum for the program.

AFSC will also help develop one of the courses in the risk management program, the news release said.

Instruction from agricultural industry experts is a key part of the new college initiative, which will begin in October.

CALCULATING RANCH COSTS Rancher’s Return Lite is a new tool to help Alberta producers manage their future economic decisions.

The Excel spreadsheet will help ranchers calculate feed costs, variable costs and profitability.

It calculates cow-calf enterprise feed and input costs based on the producer’s feeding systems and production practices. Producers can then adjust their feed rations and commodity price scenarios to help minimize winter feeding costs.

The program uses producers’ operating and capital cost estimates to summarize results for total cash costs as well as non-cash costs such as depreciation.

The free download is available from Alberta Agriculture’s website.

WATER PUMPING PROGRAM Alberta Agriculture is cutting rental costs in half for its water pumping program in an effort to manage this year’s dry conditions.

The program provides pumps and pipes to help producers fill dugouts for domestic and livestock use.

Full-time Alberta agricultural producers who are experiencing water shortages for domestic and livestock use have priority for equipment use. Rental fees will apply to anyone who uses the program in 2015-16.

The discounted rate during regular season pumping from April 1 to Oct. 31 includes one pump and one mile of six-inch pipe for $250.

A second pump and length of pipe can be rented for $125.

FOLDING KNIFE

Mini-Griptilian suitable for left handed use OUTDOOR PURSUITS

T

he Benchmade Mini-Griptilian model 556 is a folding knife manufactured in the United States.

Its modified drop-point blade, which is made from 154CM stainless steel, is 2.91 inches long and 3/32 inches thick. When closed, the tool is 3.87 inches long, and while open is 6.78 inches. It weighs 2.56 ounces.

The Mini-Griptilian seems best used as a daily carry pocketknife.

It uses a blade locking mechanism patented by Benchmade called Axis, which rotates smoothly and is strong vertically. However, the blade pivot does have some horizontal play from side to side.

A pocket clip comes with the handle for easy carry. The design and size of the folding knife seem best suited for everyday light cutting tasks.

The tool has a small black resin handle with its end shaped to neatly fit in the palm of your hand.

It has a comfortable shape to place your index finger and thumb, which results in the blade feeling in a forward position. Light jimping along both the index finger and thumb positions assist the grip.

The shape and size of the handle prevents many alternative grip positions. We had some problems successfully working with the smaller handle while wearing gloves. The knife worked well for a

normal grip directly between hand and handle.

Our test Mini-Griptilian had a thumb stud for deploying the blade from its folded position, but it got in the way of holding the knife in a pinch grip.

Benchmade does make an alternative model, 555HG, which comes with a thumbhole rather than studs for operation. It would probably better accommodate a pinch grip.

One interesting feature of the Mini-Griptilian is its ambidextrous design. It is a simple matter to move the pocket clip to the other side of the handle, thereby changing the knife to a left-handed configuration. This is not a common feature in folding knives and an encouraging one for lefties.

The edge of the blade was shaving sharp out of the box. The grind and edge bevels were clean and even. We were impressed with the quality Benchmade put into the manufacturing of their entry level products.

We were pleased with the choice of 154CM stainless steel for the Mini-Griptilian. It is an excellent material for knives used in everyday carry. This kind of stainless steel has good corrosive resistance, edge performance and toughness.

The Benchmade Mini-Griptilian is a remarkable folding knife.

Although a folder will never be as strong as a similarly sized fulltang knife, this particular tool is well suited for everyday carry and tasks.

The Mini-Griptilian may be part of Benchmade’s entry-level of products, but an owner is not shortchanged on performance and quality. Priced around $100, this knife is worth the investment when looking for a convenient pocketknife.

HOG SURPLUS

Producers overcompensate for PED

O-66-08/15-10406655-E

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) ̶ U.S. hog farmers who built up their herds to compensate for porcine epidemic diarrhea losses two years ago are now faced with the realization that they’ve produced too much bacon.

The aggressive increase in hog production that followed the PED outbreak in 2013 brought record profits for those whose pigs survived but has now created the greatest U.S. hog price collapse since the late 1990s.

Benchmark lean hog futures

prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange have dropped 42 percent from their July 2014 record high of $133 per hundredweight.

The hog glut spells more trouble for a U.S. farm economy already struggling with the lowest grain prices in five years.

Tyson Foods chief executive officer Donnie Smith said recently that he expects the domestic expansion to continue into next year, resulting in three to four percent more hogs and pork on the domestic market.

As well, the prairie wheat pools were forecasting a 50 million bu. wheat crop: 254 million bu. in Saskatchewan, 195 bu. in Alberta and 60 million bu. in Manitoba.

RESEARCH

Research centre junks paper library Scientists union calls it a ‘war on science,’ but government says it’s a move to digitization

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Dumpsters were full of books, reports and other paper at Agriculture Canada’s Lethbridge Research Centre two weeks ago when the centre’s library was dismantled and its materials discarded.

The move was criticized by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada as further evidence of the Conservative government’s “war on science.”

The union, which has members who work at the research centre, said the library’s destruction is the 16th federal science library lost since 2012 because of federal cuts to programs and services.

“For the Lethbridge research community, it’s a catastrophe,” said union communications officer Johannes Fillion.

She said the union was contacted by researchers from the Lethbridge centre who were concerned about the lost materials. Some of them took photos of library material in dumpsters.

“They are not allowed to speak against their employer,” said Fillion, so they contacted the union to speak on their behalf.

Agriculture Canada media relations officer James Watson said researchers evaluated the Lethbridge library, and all unique and relevant documents were relocated. They will be available for loan.

Items deemed irrelevant, as well as duplicates, were offered to employees, who retained more than 1,000 items, Watson said in an emailed response to Western Producer queries.

“Traditional library services are changing, and there is a global

movement towards a greater use of electronic and digital resources. As part of this transformation, AAFC is moving towards services being delivery virtually and as a self-service feature,” Watson said in an email.

“The established Government of Canada retention policy and procedures were strictly adhered to in the completion of the exercise to consolidate the Lethbridge Research Centre library collection.”

Fillion said the amount of material converted to digital format is not known, nor is the criteria used to determine what information was relevant and therefore retained.

“It’s unique research you can find only in one place and not everything could be digitalized, and not

everything would be made available for the research community,” she said.

“For the research community, it’s not just a public research community, it’s also the universities connecting to such ground research, it’s also the college, it’s also some programs, it’s also the technicians, it can be also the companies. Who will get access to all the information?”

The union likened the Agriculture Canada library losses to those at the department of fisheries and oceans several years ago, where it said important historical information was lost.

At the time, the government said budget cuts were part of the reason, but the union said cost savings are unlikely in this case.

“In terms of the big envelope of spending envelopes, these small research libraries aren’t expensive to run,” said Fillion.

“They collect their own information, they have a couple of subscriptions and its mainly research documents they’ve been keeping for years. There is an historical background to it and often an artifact aspect to it.”

Watson said the former Lethbridge library space will be repurposed, but specifics will depend on need. As an example, desk and computer activities now in laboratories could be moved there to free up more space in the labs.

“The remaining physical collections will continue to be available across the countr y, as will an expanded amount of digital information. AAFC’s library service is not closing.”

National Farmer’s Union president Jan Slomp denounced what

his group termed “libricide.”

“It’s not a surprise, what the Conservative government has done over the last nine years, but it is actually shocking that we have that much disregard for history and disregard for essential research,” said Slomp.

“The general trend in this is to eliminate whatever is … commercially not attractive.”

The NFU published a list this spring of public institutions and programs cancelled by the federal government, which it described as “turning off the lights that illuminate Canada.”

Among those listed were the beef production unit at Brandon, the fisheries and oceans habitat management program, the Kamloops range research unit and various specialized libraries.

Rachael Harder, the federal Conservative candidate in the Lethbridge riding, said changes at the research centre constitute progress.

“The truth is, scientific research, we participate in it for the sake of advancement. Its purpose is to lead to greater innovation, greater creativity, new technologies. Science is meant to lead to modernization, effectiveness, efficiency within the way we live and work and play.

“And so in the same way, it would make sense then that the library that supports our researchers and scientists should do the same. By closing the library at the Lethbridge Research Station, the Government of Canada has simply turned its attention to modernization, which means that all of those documents that were once in print form are now being digitalized.” barb.glen@producer.com

ZURICH, Switzerland (Reuters) — Monsanto is walking away from efforts to acquire Swiss rival Syngenta AG after Syngenta rejected a recently sweetened offer.

Monsanto said it still believes in the value of a combination of the two agricultural seed and chemical giants but will focus on building its core business and meeting longterm growth objectives.

The offer, which Syngenta said was worth $606 per share as of the market close Aug. 25, “significantly undervalued the company and was fraught with execution risk.”

Recent market volatility had highlighted the “significant risk” for Syngenta shareholders from the structure of the proposal, which it said had not addressed key issues in sufficient detail.

“We engaged with Monsanto in good faith and highlighted those key issues which required more concrete information in order to continue a dialogue,” said Syngenta chair Michel Demare.

“Our board is confident that Syng e nt a’s l o n g - t e r m p ro s p e c t s remain very attractive with a leading portfolio and a promising pipeline of new products and technologies. We are committed to accelerate shareholder value creation.”

Syngenta said Monsanto’s verbal offer lacked details that would have let it properly assess the proposed new entity, which it said would have been 30 percent owned by Syngenta shareholders.

It cited lack of clarity on Monsanto’s estimate of total cost and revenue synergies, assumptions on net sales proceeds from seeds and traits, the nature and extent of regulatory covenants Monsanto was prepared to offer and the assessment of risks and benefits from a tax inversion to Britain.

Standing crop joins hay listing LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Alberta farmers can now list standing crop on the provincial hay and pasture listings.

A new category, called Standing Annual Crop, has been added to the lists so farmers can sell crops for livestock feed.

The new listing can be found under the general store heading on the Alberta Agriculture website.

Farmers can enter the necessary information online or contact the provincial Ag Info Centre.

The new category had 12 listings as of Aug. 27 for crop ranging from standing wheat, barley and oats to crop mixes, including canola.

MEETING OF THE ARABIANS

First Nations had asked for stop-work order

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Opponents of northern British Columbia’s Site C dam received a setback when two courts rejected attempts to halt construction of the hydroelectric project.

A British Columbia Supreme Court judge ruled against West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations asking for a stop-work order for the $9 billion project on the Peace River, near Fort St. John, B.C. However, the First Nations still have a separate action before the B.C. Supreme Court seeking a judicial review of construction permits issued by the province.

Meanwhile, in another action, the Federal Court has dismissed a challenge of the environmental approval process of the dam brought by the Peace Valley Landowners Association and the two First Nations groups.

The Site C dam is the third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River in northern B.C. Local landowners are opposed to its construction because it will flood pristine parts of the river valley.

In a statement, Peace Valley Landowners Association president Ken Boon said the Federal Court decision is not an endorsement of the Site C dam.

“Site C is by no means a done deal. This is only the start of a 10 year project. PVLA will review its options and redouble its efforts to halt construction of Site C for two years. This will allow time for further open, independent and expert review of Site C and pursuit of other much less costly, much more environmentally friendly renewable energy alternatives,” said Boon. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Beekeeper loses honey to thieves Twelve hives were taken from a bee yard in central Alberta; security often lax at these facilities

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Kevin Nixon doesn’t want to point fingers, but he suspects it was another beekeeper who stole 12 of 48 hives from one of his bee yards south of Red Deer.

Only beekeepers have the equipment and the knowledge to move the hives, he said.

“You’d hate to think that, but realistically who else could do it but another beekeeper? That is the disappointing part,” said Nixon of Innisfail.

Workers noticed the missing hives Aug. 26 when they went to the yard to collect boxes of honey for processing.

The hives were on pallets in the field with the pallet acting as the bottom of the hive. The thieves lifted the hives off the pallet and drove away.

Nixon estimates losing the 12 hives cost him $6,000, as well as the value of the honey. There could be 10 to 50 pounds of honey in each bee box at this time of year, which is when the bees are slowing down production.

Nixon doesn’t believe it’s worth

reporting the theft to police because there is no way to identify the hives.

“As a beekeeper, we have to make that choice to deal with it. To investigate and have police hours spent on it isn’t realistic, and recovery is likely not going to happen.

“It’s a nuisance, it’s $6,000 lost.

Your confidence in your community goes down. It is just an all around disappointing thing.”

Nixon said theft from bee yards is not common, which is why beekeepers have not traditionally placed identifying markers on the hives. Some beekeepers burn a

brand into the boxes and others paint the boxes with slightly different paint to help identify them.

Branding may be an option in the future, he said.

Setting up trail cameras near bee yards may also be an option, but the costs can quickly rise.

Nixon said he might investigate placing tracking equipment in the hives.

“We probably don’t use technology as good or as much as we should in the industry,” he said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Agriculture can be part of the climate change solution, say Alberta farmers, and they want to tell their good news story during a provincial government consultation process.

The government has appointed an advisory panel that will review the province’s climate change policy and consult with Albertans on how the government can play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Alberta often gets a bad rap as a large greenhouse gas emitter because of its oil and gas industry, but agriculture is often the forgotten good news story, said Rich

Smith, executive director of Alberta Beef Producers.

“The key is to make sure agriculture is recognized for its positive parts,” said Smith, who plans to take part in an agriculture industry session on climate change in September.

Smith said producers plan to promote agriculture’s contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, mainly its ability to sequester carbon, especially in hay and grassland.

“We want to promote grass as a valuable contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emission,” he said.

The discussion document released in mid-August recognized that agriculture and forestry are emission

sources as well as sink opportunities for emission sequestration.

It said agriculture is the third largest contributor to global emissions and identified methane from livestock and emissions from fertilizer, manure and tillage practices as large polluters.

According to the document, the agriculture industry produced 22 megatonnes of emissions in 2013, or eight percent of provincial emiss i o n s, w h i l e f o re s t r y , w h i c h includes pulp and paper, and municipal waste, accounted for three megatonnes, or one percent of provincial emissions.

Agriculture, forestry and waste are grouped together because their emission reductions are driven vol-

untarily through the ability to generate and sell carbon offset credits.

However, it also said the province’s 136 million acres of managed forestry and agriculture land provide opportunities for emission reductions.

Ward Toma, general manager of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, said his organization will also provide input on the value of agriculture.

“We will emphasize min till and zero till and the positive aspects of agriculture,” said Toma.

“The opportunity for a carbon sink in agriculture is huge.”

Toma said he wants to emphasize the opportunities, including increased biofuel use.

Bryan Walton, chief executive officer of the Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, said his organization doesn’t plan to make a formal presentation to the government, but it wants to participate to get a better understanding of the direction in which the panel is heading.

“We would like to know where the government’s head is at.”

Walton said the association wants to tell how modern production technology reduces the number of days on feed and leads to less use of natural resources, how the industry has improved nutrient management techniques and how manure can improve soil quality and health. mary.macarthur@producer.com

NEW TRACTOR

Deere makes tracks in belt drives The company’s much anticipated articulated tracked tractors are expected to reach producers next year

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DES MOINES, Iowa — It finally, officially exists. Farmers will soon have access to a big, green, fourtrack drive tractor.

Speculation about a high-horsepower, articulated, tracked tractor from Deere has been around since Case IH started producing its Quadtrac in 1996.

Third-party providers such as ATI and Soucy have been mounting tracks on Deere four-wheeldrive tractors for years, but the 9RX series was designed from the ground up to be a tracked unit.

The tractor, built in Waterloo, Iowa, and its 9 series siblings the 9R wheeled tractor and 9RT two-track, have many parts in common but not when it comes to the undercarriage and frame.

Colin MacDonald of Deere, originally from Saskatchewan, said the new tractors were designed for large, broad acre grain farms, such as those found in Western Canada.

“It was created to meet the needs of producers pulling large airseeding rigs and for rapid, vertical tillage,” said MacDonald, the 9RX product manager.

“The 9RT can provide traction but is best in a straight line pull and in smoother field conditions. The tractor is meant for more varied conditions and for large loads,” he said.

“The new undercarriage was designed to get all that power to the ground, even when making tight turns around a pothole or irregular field, and do it with as little soil compaction as possible,” he said during the international debut of the new machines in Des Moines

At about 10.5 feet wide, the new 9RX tractors from Deere are the narrowest of its high-horsepower tractors. | last week.

Steve Tomtene of Birch Hills, Sask., confirmed the machine’s ability to navigate difficult, soft fields without significant compaction problems at seeding.

Tomtene’s seed farm tested the new tractor design this past spring.

“We get some issues with compaction and seedling emergence problems in tire tracks with the tire tractors,” he said.

“With the RX, we didn’t see them at all.”

MacDonald said combining the new Commandview 3 cab mounted to the tractor with four shock absorbers, a pair of parallel-link ar ms and a sway-bar system removes the roughness that is normally associated with tracked tractors.

The new RXs are available in four models: 470, 520, 570 and 620 h.p.

The first two are powered by 13.5 litre Deere engines, while the last two get Cummins QSX 15 litre power plants. All four share the

same chassis and e18 powershift transmission.

Large drive sprockets and lugs are responsible for putting power to the ground. The mid-rollers are in pairs to avoid having one directly below the axles. They transmit upward bumps vertically and require fluid checks only every 1,500 hours.

The track design is wider, fore and aft, than most four-track units, which spreads the load over a larger ground surface. The track belts

are 20 percent longer than competitor’s models and have more lug teeth. As a result, they will wear 20 percent less, said MacDonald.

The Camso, formerly Camoplast, Duradrive 3500 or 6500 rubber tracks ,provide traction in 30 or 36 inch widths.

One of the options available on the machines is the Active Command Steering system.

Operator comfort, faster speeds key advantages for farmer

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Steve Tomtene recently learned that a solution is on its way for one of his unfulfilled machinery needs.

The farmer from Birch Hills, Sask., didn’t know relief was in sight until last spring when John Deere approached him to test a prototype of the company’s latest and much anticipated high-horsepower tractor. The 9RX series is an articulated, four-track drive with up to 620 h.p.

“This was the one. I can see that it will pay for itself in efficiency, in hours saved and better use of that time, in operator comfort,” he said.

Deere has since rolled a few trial models off its assembly line in Waterloo, Iowa.

“We’d tried some other tracked tractors, including the two-tracked ones. We pull some pretty big loads, the air seeders, around some difficult fields. They were great in straight line, when things were smooth,” Tomtene said.

“But we’re largely zero-till, so

STEVE TOMTENE BIRCH HILLS, SASK., FARMER

things aren’t smooth. And we have to navigate some pretty difficult

water-on-both-sides roads when transporting the air seeders. Folks in our area have had some steering issues with tire tractors on some of those and a few have been dumped i n t h e w a t e r. … I a m r e a l l y impressed with how well the tractor steers and handles.”

The biggest tractor issue on the 12,500 acre Tomtene Seed Farm was dealing with vertical tillage and anhydrous ammonia application, particularly speed limitations.

“We couldn’t ride it much faster than six or seven miles an hour. Too

hard on the farmer,” he said.

“And the faster you go with the vertical tillage, the better the job those things usually do,.… The cab suspension and the way the tracks are set up meant we could increase our speed at least two, and often more, miles per hour. That’s 20 to 25 percent at a time of the year when we need every hour.

“Ok, a hundred more horsepower than our other tractors didn’t hurt either,” he said. michael.raine@producer.com

New research proposes salty take on rye Prairie ground is prone to salinity, but scientists are looking for crops that will offer new options

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The western Canadian prairie has one thing in common with the well-groomed golf courses surrounding New Jersey’s Rutgers University: the need for stronger saline tolerant grass varieties.

On the Prairies, new grass varieties with greater saline tolerance could access and remove salty water locked within the soil. Grain growers would have better salinity control around borders of potholes and field edges, and the livestock industry would have an additional source of forage.

Golf courses are a different story.

Rutgers, the prestigious Big Ten university, is working on turf grasses with greater saline tolerance.

Not only will the school provide golfers with better turf grass, but it will also provide an environmentally friendly way to use a large volume of saline waste water.

Golf courses in the arid regions of U.S. Southwest use 750 billion gallons of fresh water a year for irrigation. Every gallon of fresh water that can be replaced by a treated gallon of waste water means one more gallon for human use or food production.

Few plants are able to survive in saline soil because of the process of osmosis, in which plants pull replacement water up through the roots and stalks.

Osmosis normally draws water from a point in the soil with abundant water to a point on the leaves lacking water, but in saline soil, salt attracts salt, which means salt in the soil pulls the saline water back out of the roots and into the earth.

A slightly saline tolerant plant is able to generate enough osmotic pull in mild saline conditions to draw that water up through the roots and survive, but the same plant in highly saline conditions won’t be able to pull water through the roots.

Breeding saline tolerant turf grass for golfers may seem frivolous, but it makes sense if golf courses could be irrigated with salt-laden waste water, said Rutgers plant breeder Stacy Bonos. Golf courses already using treated waste water for irrigation obtain it directly from municipal sewage treatment plants.

“We’re developing turf grasses that will thrive on waste water with an EC (electrical conductivity) of about three.”

This EC does not represent an extreme level of salinity, she added,

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE tractors last year, it adjusts the number of steering wheel rotations n e e d e d t o s t e e r t h e t r a c t o r, depending on speed. It allows the operator to make fine adjustments to direction in the field under load and then have greater control at higher speeds during transport.

Tomtene said the machine was stable during transport.

In selecting for strains of perennial rye grass with high saline tolerance, individual plants are irrigated with increasingly higher levels of saline water. Survivors move on to the next round. Poor performers go into the trash. | STACY BONOS PHOTO but it’s a start.

“We mix the irrigation water to screen our plants at about three times stronger than our target for the final varieties,” she said.

“We mix to an EC of about 10. By comparison, sea water has an EC of about 55. The only plants allowed to move forward are those which survive overhead sprinkler irrigation with EC 10 water.”

Bonos said her project uses traditional plant breeding methods, and researchers are in the fourth and fifth cycle of screening the grasses. She said perennial rye grass is easy to work with because researchers can see the individual effect of what each parent plant passes on to the next generation.

Each generation of genes adds intensity to the trait for which they are selected, which is known as the additive effect. The visual distinc-

tion is strong enough that breeders can make their selection with the naked eye, although Bonos said they also used colour scans of a digital image.

“We found through a series of experiments that salt tolerance in perennial ryegrass is highly controlled by additive genetic effects,” she said.

“This is great news for breeders because we now know salt tolerance can be more easily bred for.”

Bonos and her team measured salt tolerance using visual percent green colour, which is the percentage of the plant that’s green and actively growing as compared to brown, which would indicate that it is dead or dying. Photographs of the plots clearly show which genetic strains thrive and which succumb to irrigation with EC10 water.

She said breeders don’t develop

hybrids for turf grasses. Instead, they use a process called population improvement, which means seeds from her Rutgers project will be part of a variety mix designed for golf courses.

“We decided to use perennial rye grass because it has pretty good salt tolerance to begin with, compared to something like Kentucky blue grass,” she said.

“We’re also doing some fescues, although they’re not as promising.

“Perennial rye grass is a variety that’s already used a lot for overseeding golf courses in the southern U.S. Many of these golf courses now are required to use effluent water, so there’s a demand for varieties like the ones we’re developing.

“We did more experiments to see how successfully genetic factors pass to the plant’s offspring. Two plants may combine to pass on tolerance,

“And you didn’t get that bouncy, out-of-control feeling you can experience with those big tires.”

MacDonald said the tractor can power multi-cart air seeding systems, because of a standard 58 and optional 115 gallon per minute hydraulic system and up to eight circuits, four or six which are factory installed.

The new front axle Hydra-Cushion tractor suspension, which was

introduced last year as an option on the 9R tractors, is optional on the 570 h.p. version and standard on the 620 model.

The two smaller models rely on in-board planetary final drives, while the two larger ones add a double reduction axle for greater load handling.

The smaller units carry 310 gallon fuel tanks, while the bigger ones get 400 units. All share a 22-gallon die-

sel exhaust fluid tank.

“Those 400 gallon tanks will keep a producer in the field for just about any day’s length without refueling,” said MacDonald.

Suggested prices for the machines range from US$497,645 for the 9470RX, $523,359 for the 9520RX, $549,072 for the 9570RX and $574,780 for the top end 9620RX. These prices are for base models.

but one of those parents might not pass on that same strong influence if crossed with some other parent. This gives us a clue as to which parents are better to use in crosses and confirms what type of gene effects are influencing salinity tolerance.”

There are a lot of things that go into pricing, as farmers know, so producers should talk to their own dealers to find out what they will do. Of course, Canadian dollars, right now, are higher,” Barry Nelson of Deere said during the debut, ahead of the pricing announcement. michael.raine@producer.com

Caution urged with pre-harvest glyphosate Researchers find that residues in dry bean crops can increase dramatically when crop maturity drops below 75 percent

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A University of Guelph dry bean expert says glyphosate can be used as a pre-harvest aid, but it really should be tank mixed with a true desiccant.

Chris Gillard, who led a study that cost about $1.2 million to evaluate the performance of glyphosate and other products for desiccating dry beans, said dry bean exports from Canada are regularly tested for glyphosate residues.

Gillard’s three year study, which was mostly funded by Agriculture Canada and bean grower and bean dealer associations, found that glyphosate residues from dry bean plots in Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario rarely exceeded maximum residue limits (MRLs) if applied at the right time. However, timing a glyphosate application before harvest can be challenging in the real world.

“Glyphosate on the label says 100 percent of the pods must be mature. We were a bit early on the glyphosate side and still didn’t find any residues that were in excess of the MRLs allowed for glyphosate to our export markets,” Gillard said.

“(But) our studies were small plot research, so the crop is relatively even in that small area.

What growers are faced with is uneven maturity…. (Maybe) he’s got some crop that’s near 100 percent maturity and he’s got some crop that could be at 50 percent pod maturity. So when do you pull the trigger?”

Gillard and his colleagues found that glyphosate residues in dry beans can increase dramatically when crop maturity drops below 75 percent.

“If glyphosate is applied prior to beans reaching 75 percent maturity, then glyphosate residues may exceed acceptable limits of two parts per million,” the authors wrote in a paper published earlier this year in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science.

Gillard said glyphosate translocates in the plant when the tissue is still alive and can accumulate in the seed and the pod.

True desiccants don’t move through the plant.

“Their translocation … is almost zero,” he said.

“They get sprayed on the leaves and stems. They penetrate in, they don’t move…. They just penetrate into the tissue, then blow it up.”

BEAN FACTS • More than 10 varieties of field beans are grown in Canada.

• The main types are navy, pinto, black, red Mexican and red kidney.

• Varieties in limited production include cranberry (romano), pink, great northern and Dutch brown.

• Manitoba is the top bean producer in Canada in terms of seeded acreage, with 140,000 acres in 2014, compared to Ontario at 130,000 and Alberta at 45,000.

• In 2013-14, Canada exported 304,000 tonnes of dry beans, and is expected to export 305,000 tonnes in 2014-15.

• Total production for 2013-14 equaled about 232,000 tonnes.

Source: Manitoba Agriculture, Statistics Canada, Industry Canada, Ontario Bean Growers

The Hensall District Co-operative in Ontario, which exports dry beans, is concerned about dry bean growers who exclusively use glyphosate as a pre-harvest aid.

The co-operative has language in certain dry bean production contracts that require growers to apply a desiccant other than glyphosate.

“The glyphosate MRLs are tighter in some countries than others,” said Brad Chandler, commercial business manager of the co-op’s food products division. ”If we know the crop … is going into a designated area where we know the glyphosate MRL is tight or

could be a challenge, we will try to steer the growers away from using glyphosate or any other product that has a low MRL,” he said.

Chandler said Japan and the European Union are the markets of biggest concern when it comes to glyphosate residues on dry beans.

“If we’re going to participate in exporting of these grains, or dry beans or whatever product, then definitely we have to be aware of these MRLs and then manage them with the growers.”

to apply desiccants such as Heat and Reglone and harvest aids such as glyphosate at the proper time and rates.

Francois Labelle, Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers executive director, said production contracts for dry beans often require growers to avoid certain crop products, but it’s not just glyphosate. Buyers and exporters are worried about MRLs for a variety of products.

“It’s not only on edible beans, it’s on all crops that people need to pay attention to…. It could be on wheat, or just about anything. If you have the wrong product put on, it could have an effect.”

In a separate paper, which was also published in the Canadian Journal of Plant Science, Gillard and his colleagues found that glyphosate is more effective when used in combination with a real desiccant. “ This study concludes that diquat, glufosinate ammonium, flumioxazin and saflufenacil alone or in combination with glyphosate … when used as a harvest aid can provide consistent desiccation of dr y bean,” the authors said. robert.arnason@producer.com

Promise found in strip till Strip-till plots had 8.6 percent more organic matter than zero-till plots

BY RON LYSENG

WINNIPEG BUREAU

Strip-till has been called the fencesitterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite form of farming, perfectly suited for those who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decide between an all-out conventional black seed bed preparation and total zero-till trash cover.

It might be an accurate description.

In strip-till, the narrow alleys w h e re s e e d s a re p l a nt e d a re worked with radical tillage tools designed to create what farmers once called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ideal, black, trashfree seed bed.â&#x20AC;? Residue is incorporated, weeds are decimated by tillage and soil warms quickly in the spring sunshine, prompting quick and uniform germination. These address the shortcomings of pure zero-till technology.

Strip-till leaves the strips between crop rows alone. Trash is left undisturbed to conserve moisture, suppress weeds and reduce erosion from wind and water. In a sense, strip-till is a hybrid cross between the two extremes.

As a compromise method of farming, how does strip-till compare to the more commonly used zero-till technology upon which itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s based?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what University of Minnesota researcher Fabian Fernandez hoped to learn in 2007 when he embarked on a five-year study of strip-till versus no-till. The research was conducted on silty, clay loam soil and his findings are available in the recently published Agronomy Journal.

An average four percent reduction of bulk density was one of the significant changes in strip-till plots, resulting in decreased penetration resistance of 18 percent. In other words, a root requires 18 percent less effort to move through the looser soil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bulk density is less in strip-till because of increased soil organic matter content of 8.6 percent compared to no-till farming,â&#x20AC;? said Fernandez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have more soil organic matter because strip-till in these trials gave us more yield than conventional till or no-till. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more bio-mass being produced and more carbon

input into the soil, which reduces overall bulk density.â&#x20AC;?

A prairie farmer might wonder how yield and organic matter could possibly be higher in strip till than no-till, and Fernandez said time determines the answer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you produce a slightly higher yield in strip-till, you begin gradually to produce more bio-mass, which is returned to the soil as organic matter,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Organic matter helps boost yield. So the more organic matter you incorporate into the strips, the more your yield increases.â&#x20AC;?

The strip-till plots had a slight yield benefit in the early years, which, over time, snowballed into significant organic matter numbers.

Fernandez said strip-till works fine on relatively flat ground, but tilled strips can create significant erosion problems in hilly land, particularly when the strips have to run up and down the hills.

The University of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil, water and climate department had previously observed a consistent benefit of strip-till over no-till.

In an earlier study, its researchers measured many crop parameters that indicated strip-till allowed crops to be more efficient in taking up nutr ients and water, thus increasing yield. FernĂĄndez said the best place for strip-till is fields with a lot of residue, that are cool

and wet in spring and where farmers prefer not to do conventional tillage. He said strip till, when practiced where it is appropriate, can be a powerful way to improve soil physical properties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These soil properties impact a plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to maximize its resources,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you can get these soil properties to an optimal level, they allow the plant to grow with more ease, allowing it to focus its energy on yield.â&#x20AC;?

Fernandez said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting that for all the attention and fanfare strip-till received a few years ago, the technology is all but ignored today. There are obviously a lot of strip-till acres on the east side of the U.S. Midwest, but they attract little media coverage and few field demonstrations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dealing with the strip-till is more cumbersome than no-till or conventional. Many farmers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time, even though there are proven benefits to strip-till. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier just to go out with the chisel plow,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other part is equipment. It takes more specialized equipment and time to work with the equipment and maintain it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tillage is a little like religion. You tend to stay with what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown up with.â&#x20AC;?

LAMB

Lamb producers eye retail market Canadian Lamb Producers Cooperative will welcome outside investors as it raises money for the project

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

STEINBACH, Man. — There is a type of processed meat missing from grocery store shelves, and a farmers’ co-operative plans to fill that space with a product missing a letter.

LAM: “Lamb without the ‘B,’ ” a product made with 100 percent Ca n a d i a n l a m b p ro d u c t s, i s expected to come out in limited quantities in November.

If that succeeds, and Canadian farmers produce enough quality lambs, LAM should become available in big Canadian grocery chains and in the U.S., its promoters say.

All the Canadian Lamb Producers Cooperative needs is a couple of million dollars.

“We’re in. We’re the guys,” said Terry Ackerman, chief executive officer of the CLPC, during a presentation to southeastern Manitoba sheep farmers Aug. 26.

“You will own a brand.”

Ackerman sounded confident about raising the money, which will be used as operating capital for the Canadian Lamb Company to buy lambs, process them and distribute the L AM products through the retail system.

Members of the CLPC can invest in the lamb company, which is owned by the CLPC, and outside investors are being o f f e re d “p re f e re n c e s ha re s,” which are similar to preferred shares. The CLP C w ill retain ownership control of the Canadian Lamb Company.

The CLPC has already invested $4.5 million in the elements that will make LAM a market-leading product, Ackerman said, including an electronic traceability system, a quality assessment system, marketing research, meat product formulation and testing, and trademark development.

The night Ackerman spoke in Steinbach he was still glowing from the news that the American trademark process for LAM was proceeding, ironing out one of the last practical wrinkles before LAM burgers, kebabs and sausages can hit the market.

LAM products are frozen, quick preparation meats designed for North America’s burgeoning urban lamb-loving population. Ackerman said in the Toronto area alone, 35,000 lamb-eating immigrants

arrive every year, but find few lamb products.

Fresh Canadian lamb is hard to find, and processed foods are virtually non-existent.

That’s the consumer demand LAM is designed to fill, Ackerman said.

“The consumer demand is unrelenting,” said Ackerman.

The CLPC is an odd duck, being a federally organized co-operative rather than a provincial one, with members operating in seven prov-

inces.

While the Canadian Lamb Company will be producing and marketing processed lamb goods, it will slaughter none of the lambs, process none of the meat, and package and distribute nothing itself. All those practical operations will be done by commercial entities that specialize in that kind of production.

“We outsource everything,” said Ackerman.

The CLPC buys lambs from share

holding members, with members required to buy at least 25 shares when entering the co-op. Each share gives the member the right to deliver one lamb per year to the co-op.

While the CLPC wants to increase its purchases of lambs from members, it restricts members to a maximum of 75 percent of their lamb production to be delivered to the co-op.

“We function as an alternative to existing buyers,” said Ackerman.

“We’re one option.”

One reason the co-op doesn’t want 100 percent of a farmer’s production is that it wants the best quality lambs he has. It doesn’t want every lamb no matter the quality.

Ackerman said LAM boosts lamb producers one rung higher up the value chain, and it’s also a chance to launch something unique into a growing market.

“The word is (that) no-one’s got this,” said Ackerman. ed.white@producer.com

BISON

Anthrax outbreak in northern Alberta bison herds blamed on dry weather

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

An anthrax outbreak caused by dry weather has taken its toll on northern bison herds.

For the first time, bison have died at Syncrude Canada’s Beaver Creek Wood Bison herd in northern Alberta.

Four bison from the Beaver Creek Wood Bison herd have died, three

were infected and confirmed positive with anthrax. Results are not official on how the fourth bison died, said Leithan Slade, spokesperson for Syncrude Canada in Fort McMurray.

There are more than 300 animals in the herd and Syncrude officials are working to protect workers and the remaining animals.

The first animal was discovered Aug. 12 and the other animals over

the next weeks.

Anthrax is a reportable disease in Canada and is naturally occurring in soils.

An animal that dies of anthrax sheds the anthrax bacterium. Livestock are most commonly infected by ingesting the spores from contaminated pastures, while grazing, especially in dry weather when grass is short.

Further north in Wood Buffalo

National Park, 60 bison have died from anthrax this season. The last two carcasses were discovered near Sweetgrass in the south central part of the park Aug. 25 during an aerial patrol of the area. Those carcasses appeared old, said Tim Gauthier with Parks Canada.

No fresh carcasses have been found in the last 21 days, leading staff to believe the outbreak is over, he said.

“The outbreak is confined to six small areas of the park, all of which have had anthrax before.”

On average about 60 bison die each year from anthrax in Wood Buffalo National Park.

There are about 3,500 bison in the Wood Buffalo herd. The outbreak does not threaten the long-term viability of the herd, he said. mary.macarthur@producer.com

HERD REDUCTION

Cattle producers continue to reduce herd The total inventory of cattle and calves as of July 1 was 23 percent below its peak level recorded in 2005

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

The Canadian cattle herd continues to shrink, although some are wondering if the latest statistics reflect what is happening in the countryside.

Record prices should be a signal to expand, said Bill Jameson, a partner at JGL Livestock in Moose Jaw, Sask.

“Return on investment usually spurs expansion. If this is not the case, I don’t know what it will take,” he said.

“After this year’s calf crop is sold, I think there will be some expansion, but quite frankly, it is a mystery to me.… It is hard for me to believe we are still shrinking our cow herd.”

Statistics Canada said Aug. 20 that there were 13 million cattle on 82,050 farms as of July 1, which is down 2.1 percent from July 1, 2014.

The total inventory of cattle and calves July 1, 2015, was 23 percent below its peak level recorded in 2005, but prices have increased more than 80 percent in the last five years.

The number of beef cows fell 3.4 percent from July 1, 2014, to 3.8 million head, while the number of beef heifers held for breeding edged down .6 percent year over year to 612,600 head.

Dave Solverson, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said people have been holding back heifers to rebuild their herds, but this year’s dry weather may have forced them to sell if they ran out of feed.

“Anecdotally, I was starting to hear about some expansion,” he said.

He wants the herd to regroup to keep feedlots and packers running.

Statistics Canada says the country’s cattle herd shrunk 2.1 percent from July 1, 2014, to July 1, 2015. | “It is a risk for us to shrink the herd much more because of infrastructure loss,” he said. “ I f w e g e t s o w e d o n ’ t hav e enough cattle around to be competitive for the two plants in Western Canada, that could be an issue.”

Canadian feedlots are buying high priced cattle, but their margins are slipping into the red after a year of good returns, said Jameson.

“We are probably getting into a break even or slight loss position right now,” he said.

Exports of feeder cattle were strong, but that business is falling off because Canadian cattle are too expensive.

“Right now in the feeding sector we have a made-in-Canada market,” he said.

The statistics report said a limited number of animals are available to go to market because of decline in herd size. Slaughter decreased 13.5 percent to 1.4 million head compared with the first six months of 2014.

The hog industry reported expansion at 1.1 percent: 13.2 million hogs on 6,995 farms. It is estimated there are 1.2 million sows and gilts, a slight increase over last year.

Hog slaughter increased by nearly three percent during the first six months of this year compared to

FILE PHOTO

last year, when 10.5 million were killed.

Canada exported 2.8 million hogs in the first half of 2015, which was up 17.8 percent from the same period in 2014.

The sheep population fell 2.1 percent to 1.1 million head. Market lamb numbers were down, and there are fewer breeding ewes.

Replacement lambs fell three percent compared with the same date in 2014.

There were 1.4 million dairy cows and heifers, down 2.2 percent from July 1, 2014.

SHRINKING HERD • The beef cattle population declined in the western provinces by 2.5 percent. Broken down by province, the decline was three percent in Saskatchewan, 1.6 percent in Manitoba, 2.8 percent in Alberta and .8 percent in British Columbia.

• Total western cattle numbers as of July 1, 2015, were 5.3 million in Alberta, 2.7 million in Saskatchewan, 1.2 million in Manitoba and 655,000 in B.C.

HEALTHIER EATING

Researchers add value to beef fat

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — Turning beef fat into a healthy product could be possible as scientists learn more about the effects of feed and genetics.

A 1,200 pound steer with a half inch of back fat and average muscling yields a 750 lb. carcass. Breaking down that carcass produces 490 lb. of boneless trimmed beef, 150 lb. of fat trim and 110 lb. of bone. The fat is often a low value byproduct.

Some of the more than 100 fatty acids found in beef have potential health benefits to fight cancer, heart disease and inflammatory diseases.

“We are trying to improve the economic and health value of the fat,” said Mike Dugan, meat lipid specialist at Agriculture Canada’s Lacombe Research Centre.

The research was presented during an Aug. 19 tour of the centre.

Work starts at the molecular level.

Researchers know fatty acids are toxic to rumen bacteria, so the microbes alter them in a process

called biohydrogenation. The result is the production of beneficial fats such as rumenic and vaccenic acid.

Rumenic acid is a CLA isomer and vaccenic acid is a trans fat.

“We are tr ying to enrich the omega 3 fatty acids, and we are also trying to increase the biohydrogenation production,” said Dugan.

Beef contains some trans fatty acids, which many people think are bad because they are associated with increasing LDL, the bad cholesterol, and reducing the good cholesterol in the blood.

“You can get a different class of trans fatty acid in beef, and so the work we are trying is to differentiate between the two,” Dugan said.

Molecular biologist Jon Meadus studies the reaction of these fats at the cellular level with tissue culture that can be transformed to behave like fat cells, white blood cells or liver cells.

Part of this research involves feed programs to adjust an animal’s fat profile.

The latest project incorporates a product called Linpro-R, which is a

combination of flaxseed and yellow beans. It is fed at a rate of 30 percent with hay and provides five percent of the oil in the diet, which is the maximum before cattle suffer digestive upset.

The researchers fed 2.5 kilograms per day at a cost of 60 cents per kg, so the 250 day feeding period cost $375 per animal.

The cattle have gained better than expected. A two pound per day gain was anticipated, but the current crop of steers has an average daily gain of three lb.

This is an expensive feeding program, but Dugan said consumers buy chemically synthesized CLA for 50 cents per one gram capsule at a drug store. The value of fat would add value to the carcass if people received the same benefit from eating beef.

“If we take a low value product like kidney fat and we are able to turn that into more of a functional or a nutraceutical, the value of that could really go up,” said Dugan. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Education kept PED at bay: veterinarian Informing producers about the importance of biosecurity and correct livestock truck cleaning paid off

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Photo: First Nature Farms (Goodfare, AB)

LACOMBE, Alta. — Canadian farmers may have dodged the catastrophic effects of porcine epidemic diarrhea because their biosecurity practices were exemplary, says an Alberta veterinarian.

The United States has lost eight million pigs on thousands of farms since May 2013, while Canada had only 109 cases, and half those farms are now considered negative for the PED virus.

“Statistically we should be at about 1,000 sites because we have a very similar pork industry to them,” said Egan Brockhoff of Prairie Swine Services.

The U.S. epidemic peaked in the winter of 2014 when more than 300 new cases per week were diagnosed. About 75 new cases still appear each week.

The first Canadian case appeared in January 2014, and producers adopted strict hygiene measures that worked.

“The biggest reason, without question, is probably education,” he said during a field day at Agri-

c u l t u r e C a n a d a’s L a c o m b e Research Centre Aug. 19.

“Canada had invested a great deal of money into producer education around biosecurity across all of the species, but the pork industry really took it to heart.”

Other livestock industries should follow the hog sector’s example, he added.

“Think about your industry and how you can mitigate these risk factors because every single risk factor I am going to go through is the same risk for all the farm animals.”

Brockhoff said bringing new animals into the herd is the No. 1 risk factor.

“Whatever it has, you now have.”

The next risk is transportation and movement of animals, he added. Transport biosecurity was not taken as seriously as it should have been in 2013.

While the hog industr y has adopted meticulous standards for cleaning out trailers, that is not the case for other livestock sectors.

“Sometimes they are scraped out, but how often they ever had soap or disinfectant touch them, I think it is

safe to say zero,” he said.

How to properly wash out a trailer became a huge issue during the outbreak.

Truck washes in Canada use fresh water rather than recycled water, which could be full of disease-causing vir uses and bacteria.

Brockhoff said the PED virus continued to spread in the U.S. because the wash water was not clean, even though the trailers looked spotless.

Washing and disinfecting are effective, but thermally drying or baking for an hour ensures the viruses are dead.

Alberta has introduced a baking facility that raises the temperature to 70 C for 10 minutes to kill viruses.

This is difficult in winter, but it can be done and is becoming an industry standard.

The cleaning process also needs to be audited. It takes about an hour and a half to properly clean a livestock trailer.

Brockhoff’s practice does weekly audits and takes six samples from a trailer to make sure the virus was eliminated.

As well, Canada has set up an effective veterinary alliance in which practitioners, producers and associations regularly share information and collaborate on surveillance and education.

“Early intervention is critical if we

Infrared camera records changes in body heat to track hogs’ health

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

LACOMBE, Alta. — Future technology may tell hog farmers if their animals are sick or stressed before they ever show symptoms.

Scientists at the Agriculture Canada research centre near Lacombe are using infrared thermography to monitor pigs’ health and behaviour.

Livestock welfare researcher Nigel Cook of Alberta Agriculture told an Aug. 19 field day at the centre that, once tagged, the pigs are never touched by human hands.

Instead, each one wears an electronic identification button in the

ear. A computer weighs them every time they visit the feeder and measures how much they eat.

“We can get very accurate measurements of their feed consumption,” he said.

An infrared camera installed directly above the feeder transmits changes in body heat to a computer.

Another camera located on the ceiling takes an image every five minutes to measure the temperature of the group to detect possible sickness.

Researchers also take stress measurements by attaching a cotton swab to a stick that the pigs chew on.

Saliva is then analyzed to see how

much of the stress hormone cortisol is present.

The pigs in the study come from the research centre’s 100-sow farrow-to-finish unit and are sent for slaughter once they reach market weight.

However, they are driven in the trailer for an hour before reaching the on-site abattoir so that stress measurements can be taken to see which animals react to transportation.

Meat quality is also assessed after slaughter for possible stress related problems. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

HORSE HEALTH

Be vigilant, take action to keep infectious diseases under control ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

T

wenty confirmed cases of equine infectious anemia in the northern Prairies and the Yukon this year make it a good time to review infection control practices for horse operations.

Everyone involved in the horse industry should be concerned with limiting infections, from owners to organizers of equine events.

An outbreak of an infectious disease, also known as swamp fever, could have broader implications than just sick horses. The ensuing reputation damage and rumour mill may be just as problematic.

Infectious diseases in horses range from mild illness to lifethreatening, and the treatment options are similarly varied.

For example, most cases of equine influenza in Canada are

mild, with horses experiencing a short bout of fever, poor appetite and nasal discharge. No specific treatment is available, but it is less concerning than a disease such as EIA because most horses recover.

Ho r s e s w i t h E I A a re e i t h e r euthanized or quarantined for life to prevent the disease from spreading. No treatments or vaccines are available.

Viruses, bacteria and parasites cause infectious diseases. These germs are invisible to the naked eye, and most are spread by contact between horses or contaminated objects such as water buckets, hay bags and other equipment. Some hitch a ride in mosquitoes, which increases their ability to spread and infect new horses.

Summer months are the busiest time for infectious diseases in horses. Warmer weather brings hordes of germ-spreading mosquitoes and flies.

Most horse events occur in the summer, facilitating the commingling of large groups of horses.

There is also a new foal crop, which provides a susceptible group with no previous exposure to infectious

agents.

Controlling infectious diseases in horses is mainly an exercise in common sense, but it takes planning to execute effectively.

Ideally, each horse should have its own equipment and these should be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

Whenever possible, prevent contact between your horses and others. This means avoiding nosetouching and sharing of common water troughs and equipment at events.

Avoiding contact with horses that are obviously sick is straightforward, but it is important to keep in mind that many infectious diseases take days or weeks before signs of illness are noticeable. During this time, they could be spreading the infectious agents to other susceptible horses.

This is why vigilantly limiting contact is important and also explains how quarantines work.

New horses to the herd or those that have returned from an event should be isolated from the main group for about three weeks. If these horses picked up an infection before arrival and are incubating a disease, it should show up during

Vaccinations can control many key diseases affecting horses. | this time.

Horses that have signs of illness should not be transported to horse events. Instead, they should be isolated on the farm and examined by a veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.

Use separate equipment for horses in quarantine and handle feed and other activities with these horses last. Wash your hands frequently.

Vaccination is a key method for controlling infections in horses, and safe, effective vaccines are available for many important horse diseases, including eastern/western equine encephalitis, rabies, tetanus, West Nile Virus, strangles and herpes.

Horse owners should determine if vaccination for these diseases is appropriate for their herd by consulting with their veterinarian. The

veterinarian can provide specific vaccine recommendations based on a horse’s age and risk.

No vaccine or treatment is available for EIA, making the disease especially difficult to manage.

The best defence is to test new horses entering the property. As well, resident horses should be tested at least once a year, and horse event organizers should carefully consider implementing a requirement for a negative Coggins test to limit the risk of the disease spreading at their functions. Competitors can also push for this testing requirement.

FORAGE TRIALS

Sugar corn evaluated for feed value potential

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

This summer, at locations from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, forage experts are evaluating the potential of a new livestock feed tentatively known as sugar corn.

Agriculture Canada plant breeders in Ottawa have created several experimental varieties of corn that have a higher percentage of sugar in the stalk.

Lana Reid and Malcolm Morrison, of Ag Canada, developed the corn primarily to provide an alternate feedstock for Canada’s ethanol industry. (For a previous story on this issue, visit www.producer. com/2015/08/new-corn-a-breakthrough-in-biofuel.)

Reid said animal scientists are also interested in sugar corn and how it could be used to feed livestock.

“There are huge trials for dairy feed this year in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario,” she said. “So sugar corn is really getting put through the wringer this summer…. The sugar corn is in a comparison study … looking at (it) compared to sweet sorghum and a few other silage corns, to look at alternatives for dairy feed.”

The Western Beef Development Centre in Lanigan, Sask., is also studying sugar corn. Researchers have seeded a few plots of the high stalk variety and plan to assess its feed value.

“Corn is a crop that is of huge interest in Western Canada, for grazing the whole plant for wintering beef cattle,” said Bart Lardner, senior research scientist at WBDC. “We’re interested and looking at the quality aspect. Are they (sugar corn varieties) of higher or greater quality to a beef animal that needs a certain level of energy and protein over the winter, compared to the conventional?”

Lardner said the potential benefits of sugar corn are more complicated than high sugar levels.

“We’re not just talking sugar, we’re talking carbohydrates. Does an elevated level of carbohydrates, does (that) result in better rumen microbial activity?

“And then… better volatile fatty acid production for that beef cow? Is there a chain reaction of the breakdown of those higher levels of carbohydrates in that corn plant?”

Reid said using crops with higher sugar content is not a new concept.

Sweet sorghum is used in the U.S. for livestock feed.

Lardner said research on sugar corn is in the early stages and many questions remain.

“The agronomics of these new varieties… do they persist in all different eco-regions of Saskatchewan?” he said.

“They have to produce the biomass that other (corn varieties) do.” robert.arnason@producer.com

The angular beauty of spinach leaves is on rampant display as Shane Woods, right, discusses crops in the Wildrose Heritage Seed Company garden with visitors on a Lethbridge tour Aug. 20. | BARB GLEN PHOTO HERITAGE VEGETABLES

Farm builds business from seed Wildrose Heritage Seed Co. grows vegetable varieties that can be grown over and over again

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Shane Woods pockets every vegetable seed he finds as he walks through his three-acre garden.

Mid-August is too soon to harvest seeds from most of the vegetables, but the work is so labour intensive that he takes every opportunity to reduce his workload.

Shane and Tami Woods own and operate the Wildrose Heritage Seed Co., which grows many kinds of vegetables strictly for seed. They have three gardens, but the most prominent is on leased land along Highway 3 on the east side of Lethbridge.

Shane estimates they are growing 400 varieties and species of plants this year, while Tami puts the estimate closer to 300.

Either way, the process of planting, watering, weeding, picking, drying, sorting and packaging is a gargantuan task.

Visitors to their operation, as part of an Aug. 20 tour organized by Organic Alberta, got a sense of its scope.

Shane has planted 78 types of tomatoes, 82 types of peppers and numerous varieties of squash, melons, potatoes, beets, carrots, corn,

parsnips and spinach.

“You’d be surprised what can be grown in Lethbridge,” said Shane.

With no mechanization and no chemical use, weeds are the bane of his existence. Though not certified organic, the operation uses organic methods to grow and preserve heritage seed.

Shane is an offshore exploration geologist who has strong feelings about seed.

“We take the seed that you can grow over and over and over again.

That’s what the whole idea of this company is, is to put it back in your hands, where it should be anyway,” he said.

“It shouldn’t be in conglomerates’ hands. Ninety-five percent of the seed in the world is owned by 10 companies. They’re all pharmaceutical companies. I’m not putting them down, but they dictate what we eat.”

It took him three years to find all the heritage varieties that he now plants, although Tami said his collection began much further back.

“It’s always been his passion.

When we first got married 30 years ago, he was collecting seeds from all the different varieties already and saving them, and it’s just kind of grown from there.”

The business has been operating for three years and supplies seeds to In Case Of, an emergency preparedness company that supplies Costco and Wal-Mart. The seeds are also available locally.

The Woods said they would like to expand their operations and buy rather than lease land, but that will depend on this fall’s marketing efforts.

“We need to land a few big accounts and once we do that, if it goes like we plan, then we’ll be able to either go to BDC (the federal Business Development Bank) to get some money … and we’ve actually had a lot of people want to invest.”

Tami, a nurse, said until those deals are signed, she remains pleased that the business does not have debt.

Shane told the tour group about his concerns regarding waste. For example, he removes the tomato seeds and composts the fruit. It is the same with squash, peppers, pumpkins and most other produce from the garden.

This year, a group of women have agreed to remove the tomato seeds in exchange for the rest of the fruit, and he has found homes for some of the carrots and squash.

Still, the wasted food is a concern,

even though it also makes rich compost. Food banks are limited in what they can accept if the vegetables have been cut open because of food safety risks.

“All you have to do is come by and pick it up,” he said about the seedless vegetables. “My wife and family and friends in Lethbridge can only take so much.”

Shane said he loves the business and its purpose, but the workload has been more than he bargained for. It’s time consuming, physically demanding and even dangerous, as he and Tami found when they dug parsnips.

Juice from the vegetables caused red, painful marks on their arms that lasted for days.

“Who would have thought that a parsnip would cause a burn on the skin like that?” he said as he pocketed a few more seeds.

“There are some inherent dangers involved in seed farming.” barb.glen@producer.com

my family?

F

inancial management can sometimes be frustrating for farmers, especially when problems arise because of circumstances beyond their control.

This summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weather challenges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; drought, hail and excess rain â&#x20AC;&#x201D;will result in financial problems for many farms.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad enough when this happens for one year, but it can become nearly impossible to survive when the weather incidents stack up over two or three years.

The first sign of financial difficulty often comes from within, in the form of a growing fear that funds will not be available when needed to pay bills.

Some farmers will become aware of pending difficulties by analyzing budgets, while others will find out when their operating loan is too small to overcome a mounting pile of bills and payments.

This anxiety about a cash shortfall is an early warning that things might soon be or are already very wrong.

I came across a pamphlet published some time ago by Manitoba Agriculture that I think could be relevant to farmers who may be experiencing cash flow difficulties this fall and winter.

The chart on the right, adapted from the pamphlet, will help determine whether you have a potential personal or business financial problem.

Three or more â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? answers in this section is evidence of financial difficulties ahead.

Answering â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to questions 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 means the problem might be more serious than you want to recognize.

As difficult as it may be, if there is evidence of financial challenges, find someone to talk to and come

up with a plan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to talk within the family about the problems.

If the family discussion is too difficult, get someone such as an accountant, consultant or counsellor to help.

Provincial governments have free services available to help with many forms of stress: â&#x20AC;˘ Manitoba: 866-367-3276 â&#x20AC;˘ Saskatchewan: 800-667-4442 â&#x20AC;˘ Alberta: 877-303-2642 Another good step is to visit your lender(s) sooner rather than later. Maintaining regular communication with lenders when facing a potential financial crisis is critical. Being proactive can help considerably.
