ACQUISITIONS

Scoular to buy Legumex Walker special crops division

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An American grain company has a deal in place to buy one of Canada’s biggest pulse and special crops firms.

The Scoular Company will acquire the assets of Legumex Walker’s special crops division for $94 million.

The value of the deal blossoms to $174.6 million with the addition of working capital, such as inventory, accounts receivable and cash on hand.

“These will be our first Canadian assets and that’s one of the things we’re very excited about, to get a good Canadian footprint of assets and get a high quality management team that comes along with those assets to run them,” said Scoular chief operating officer Bob Ludington.

INCREASING CAPACITY

Viterra assets may be on sales block

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Glencore PLC, the parent company of Viterra, is considering selling some of its Canadian grainhandling assets to reduce company debt and maintain its credit rating.

In a Sept. 7 conference call with investors, Glencore chief executive officer Ivan Glasenberg said the company is considering the sale of various agricultural assets in Canada and is also entertaining offers to sell a minority stake in Glencore’s global agriculture portfolio.

Together, the sale of assets in the company’s agriculture and precious metals portfolios is expected to generate roughly $2 billion.

In Canada, the sale of agricultural assets would most likely involve former Viterra facilities, including inland elevators or port terminals.

In 2012, Glencore acquired Viterra’s assets — primarily grainhandling facilities in Canada and Australia — in a deal valued at $6.1 billion.

Switzerland-based Glencore is attempting to reduce its overall debt to the low $20 billion range.

If we’re talking about (agriculture) infrastructure … it would be the former Viterra assets that would be the most sought after.

STEVEN KALMIN GLENCORE

To accomplish that, the company is suspending shareholder dividends, reducing working capital levels, planning an equity issuance worth as much as $2.5 billion and asset sales in Glencore’s precious metals and agriculture portfolios.

Together, the company’s debt reduction would have a value of about $10.2 billion, the company said.

“If we’re talking about (agriculture) infrastructure … it would be the former Viterra assets that would be the most sought after,” said Glencore’s chief financial officer Steven Kalmin.

Asset sales would be “relatively straightforward” and could be “c o n c l u d e d i n t h e n e x t f e w months,” he added.

Glencore officials did not say which Canadian assets are most likely to be involved in a sale, but Kalmin said the company has multiple ports, storage facilities and rail infrastructure assets.

In Canada, Viterra’s assets include grain export terminals in Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Thunder Bay and Montreal.

The company also operates 70 primary elevators across the west and is Canada’s largest grainhandler, in terms of primary elevator storage capacity. brian.cross@producer.com

ELECTION 2015

Former SWP head on Liberal ticket Marvin Wiens hopes to unseat David Anderson in Saskatchewan’s Cypress Hills-Grasslands riding

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Marvin Wiens is no stranger to politics.

But his time on the board and as president of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool was a different political game than the current federal election campaign he is involved in as the Liberal candidate for Cypress Hills-Grasslands.

While many historically viewed the pool as the rural arm of the provincial NDP, Wiens said all political views were present around the board table.

“The pool in my opinion was a Liberal organization,” Wiens said in an interview in his Swift Current campaign office. “It believed in NDP policies that were good.

“I believe in good right and left policy.”

He says he was always a Liberal but was careful to keep his views to himself. His parents campaigned for Jack Wiebe, a well-known Liberal MLA who was later Lieutenant Governor and then a senator appointed by Jean Chretien.

“The Sask. Wheat Pool president had to be apolitical,” Wiens said.

“Nobody knew my politics.”

Eleven years after he resigned from the SWP board, the farmer from Wymark is making his politics known far and wide in the

MARVIN WIENS CYPRESS HILLS-GRASSLANDS LIBERAL CANDIDATE

90,000-square-kilometre riding where he is trying to unseat Conservative David Anderson.

Anderson, from Frontier, is running in his sixth campaign and has represented the southwest in Ottawa since he ran as a Canadian Alliance member in 2000.

In the 2011 campaign he received an overwhelming 69.85 percent of the vote, the second highest in the province’s 14 ridings.

The NDP candidate, Trevor Peterson, who is running again this time, was second with 21.23 percent, followed by Liberal Duane Filson at 6.25 percent.

Anderson campaigned strongly in the past on ending the Canadian Wheat Board’s monopoly and he said he’s heard no complaints since the government did that in 2012.

“Giving farmers market choice was a goal of mine and a goal of many of our caucus and we’ve

been able to achieve that,” he said.

“If you take a look at the prosperity that’s in the communities, the way people have been able to sell their products, they’ve been able to reinvest money in their own operations, I don’t hear from anybody that we should go back to the old days.”

He said agriculture has driven the riding’s economy for decades, with the oil and gas industries picking up steam the last 10 to 15 years.

Although the latter is experiencing a downturn, and the 2015 crop is just coming off, Anderson added people are generally optimistic about the riding’s fortunes.

The redrawn riding map for this election has added to both the north and east boundaries of Cypress Hills-Grasslands.

About one-third of the vote is in the city of Swift Current and larger urban centres such as Kindersley.

Peterson, who teaches in Assiniboia, said his campaign is seeing more momentum than 2011 as voters evaluate four years under a majority government.

People are angry at the way the Conservative government handled the former PFRA pastures, the wheat board and grain transportation, he said.

“The country’s not going in the

right direction and many people are telling me Stephen Harper’s plan is not working for them,” he said.

“Conservative voters are telling me they are going to vote NDP. The only way to defeat Stephen Harper in Saskatchewan is a vote for the NDP.” Wiens begs to differ, saying his campaign has the momentum or else vandals wouldn’t be destroying his signs.

“My challenge is to convince voters that I have a better chance of beating David Anderson than Trevor Peterson does,” he said.

Last week he pledged to, if elected, get federal funding for a Southwest Trade Corridor along Highway 4 from Cadillac, Sask., to Monchy, Sask., at the U.S. border.

He also said he would lobby for extended hours at the border crossing at Climax, Sask.

Bill Caton, a rancher from Eastend, is running for the Green Party. In 2003 he ran as a Progressive Conservative, and in 2004 and 2006 as the Liberal candidate. He also ran provincially for the Green Party in 2011. karen.briere@producer.com

ANIMAL HEALTH

Bluetongue confirmed in Ont. cattle

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Canada will have to renegotiate its export terms following confirmation that three Ontario cattle contracted the virus in August and September.

The discovery eliminated Canada’s claim to be bluetongue free, which appears on export certificates for live ruminants, embryos and semen.

Bluetongue is an immediately notifiable disease in terms of World Organization for Animal Health rules, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency provided the necessary information once the virus was confirmed in Ontario.

“Canada suspended the issuing of our certificates because the wording was no longer accurate,” said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association general manager Rob McNabb.

“No country that I’m aware of reactively stated that they were ceasing to take product. It was all our problem in our certificates not being accurate any more.”

Exports of live ruminants, embryos and semen to the United States and Mexico will not be affected because bluetongue is endemic in both countries.

It has also been considered endemic in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, which has been compartmentalized to allow Canada’s bluetongue-free claim on ruminants from the rest of the country.

Five of the six known cases of bluetongue virus in Canada in the past 30 years have been in the Okanagan, said the CCA. The CFIA has ceased issuing export certificates until terms can be renegotiated with trading partners.

Bluetongue is a greater threat to sheep than to cattle, and Ontario s h e e p p ro d u c e r s h av e b e e n warned to guard against the illness as much as possible.

However, the virus is spread by a biting midge of the culicoides species and is thus hard to prevent.

Bluetongue can only be spread directly by the midge and cannot be transmitted from animal to animal.

It is not a threat to humans or to food quality.

The Ontario cases are the first cases in which a specific serotype, bluetongue 13, has been found in Canada, other than in an imported animal.Ontario’s ministry of agriculture said Sept. 3 that two cattle were confirmed positive on Sept. 2 on the same farm as another animal had tested positive Aug. 7.

Bluetongue can affect sheep, goats, cattle, bison, deer and elk.

Previous cases in B.C. are considered to have come from insects that blew in from the United States, where several serotypes of the virus, including serotype 13, are considered endemic.

Cattle and goats can carry the bluetongue virus without showing outward signs, but it is a serious for sheep. That has the Canadian Sheep Federation and Ontario Sheep Marketing Agency on alert. barb.glen@producer.com

EMPLOYMENT

Oilfield slowdown not creating farm worker flood Employers discover laid-off oil workers have little interest in lower-paying agricultural jobs

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Jason Hagel thought the job resumes would rush into his southern Alberta feedlot when the oil and gas industry started issuing layoff notices.

“We have had zero,” said Hagel, who runs a feedlot, cattle and grain operation near Swalwell. “It might change, but I can’t see it.”

He no longer believes laid off oilfield workers will be tempted to work on his farm and feedlot.

“I can’t see them coming to a feedlot and taking a job for $15 to $20 an hour when they were getting $25, $35 or $40 an hour,” he said.

Hagel thinks he may get a few more nibbles for his farm job once Employment Insurance benefits run out, but he doesn’t know if those workers would last.

“I would like to hire some oil guys that can drive truck, but they’d be gone as soon as they could get another job, instead of working with cattle.”

Instead, Hagel will continue to hire temporary foreign workers.

Four from Ukraine are fitting in well, he said.

Kristen Hunter of Buffalo Plains Cattle Co. in Bethune, Sask., is looking for workers with experience with livestock, equipment operation, in a feed mill, truck driving and welding. She has had little interest from laid off oilfield workers.

“I have yet to see anybody off the oilfield,” said Hunter.

“I am not sure they are looking for jobs in our area. Sometimes our conditions are less than ideal.”

The jobs include long hours during the fall run and cold weather while checking feedlot pens during winter.

Like Hagel, Hunter is reluctant to hire former oilfield workers who will quit for better paying oilfield jobs as soon as the price of oil rises.

“I don’t want a high turnover. I want employees that will last.”

Wade Efland of Pierson, Man., has not seen oilfield employees looking for work on his farms in Manitoba and North Dakota during his busy harvest season.

“The people out there are used to big money. They won’t work for normal money. It’s a mindset that has to change,” said Feland, who pays up to $25 an hour for good workers.

Feland recently hired a worker who had been hauling recreational vehicles from the United States to Canada. The ripple effect of a slower economy forced the driver to look for a job in agriculture.

Farming on both sides of the border also requires employees with a passport and a clean record, which limits some workers, he said.

unemployment rate is hovering around six percent, an increase of 1.3 percentage points from the previous year.

Sidney Greidanus said the poor oil economy has “no influence” on their honey business.

Instead, beekeepers and honey processors rely solely on temporary foreign workers, who come to Canada in spring and leave in fall.

“They work 12 hours a day, six

days a week. They want to make money. It is hard to find Canadians willing to do that,” said Greidanus of High River.

Tony Kok with Agricultural Employment in Picture Butte, matches farm workers with farmers, but still has a long list of jobs waiting to be filled, despite the softening economy.

“We’re still under lots of pressure to find good farm help,” said Kok.

“They layoffs in the oilpatch are not helping our situation.”

A week earlier, Kok placed a laid-off oilworker on a farm, but before the new worker had even made it to the farm he had been called back to the oilfield. mary.macarthur@producer.com

SCOULAR TO BUY SPECIAL CROPS DIVISION » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Scoular is a 123-year-old grain company with nearly US$6 billion in sales. It has 130 independent business units but none of those were heavily involved in the pulse and special crops business.

“It has been on our strategic map to increase our product diversity as well as our geographic diversity,” said Ludington.

Customers have been asking the company to provide them with pulses and special crops.

The company has missed out on a couple of acquisitions over the past few years.

The Legumex Walker deal is subject to approval by two-thirds of the company’s shareholders at a meeting scheduled on Nov. 9.

Joel Horn, president of Legumex Walker, said it was a bittersweet day because if the deal goes through, a company that was formed four years ago by the merger of Manitoba’s Roy Legumex and Saskatchewan’s Walker Seeds will be dissolved.

He said the company built a

great collection of assets in the special crops business with 14 plants located in Canada, the United States and China. But it couldn’t get out of the financial hole it dug with the construction of its Pacific Coast Canola (PCC) crush facility in Warden, Washington.

“I guess that’s how I feel is quite a bit of pride on the special crops side and pretty proud of what we did at PCC but maybe sad in terms of the financial performance. I guess that’s as honest as I can be about it,” said Horn.

The company estimates the Scoular deal will net shareholders $2.50 to $2.75 per share after repayment of all obligations.

Legumex Walker shares closed at $2.20 on Sept. 14, up from $0.90 at the close on Sept. 11.

“As I told some of my staff today, it’s not every day that you see your stock go up 140 percent,” said Horn.

Shares sold for $8.85 when the company was first listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in July, 2011. Prices have been on a steady and precipitous decline since that date.

Horn said the stock price really took a tumble when investors became worried about the faltering US$110 million PCC investment.

“The first time that the canola plant got hit hard was when we had the rail congestion issue a couple of winters ago,” he said.

Since then it has been hammered by dismal crush margins and the weakening Canadian dollar.

The share price hovered around $4 for years and then plummeted below $1 after the company announced on July 31 that it had defaulted on a $54.6 million loan for the canola plant.

Horn said company executives and board members contemplated selling the canola plant and continuing on in the special crops business but it was determined that the Scoular deal would bring the best value to shareholders.

Legumex Walker also has a non-binding agreement to sell

the canola plant to an unnamed buyer. The company does not expect to receive any value from the sale after servicing the debt for the plant.

Cormark analyst Marc Robinson believes the plant will be sold to Archer Daniels Midland or to Glencore, which already has a 16 percent stake in the facility.

Some analysts say the canola plant was doomed from the start because it was located a long way from where canola is grown in the Canadian prairies.

Horn insists it was a good location because the plant produces oil for consumers in nearby California, including the growing market for non-genetically modified oil.

“The strategy has been working. We just didn’t have enough runway because we just weren’t capitalized enough,” he said.

Ludington said it will largely be business as usual at the special crops facilities.

“The difference will be they’ll be operating with our balance sheet, our corporate support behind them as well as the additional customer demand we’re going to bring to their products.”

Scoular intends to invest in the special crops plants over the next couple of years. “(Growers) will see improvements to the assets, whether it’s truck dumping capability, moving trucks through faster and maybe different marketing programs,” said Ludington.

He said there are other Canadian “target acquisitions” on the horizon.

“Hopefully we’ll be making some more announcements in the nottoo-distant future that would add to the Legumex portfolio.”

Ludington said that could include assets in the grains and oilseed sector. The special crops assets could also start handling crops like wheat and canola.

“We think that if you can provide more services to that local producer you become more valuable to that producer,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

ECONOMICS

Winter feed decisions an economic balancing act

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Livestock producers will need the skills of a juggler to balance a livestock ration and their financial bottom line with this season’s pricey feed, says Alberta’s beef and forage specialist.

Barry Yaremcio said feeding a cow straight hay through the winter can cost slightly more than $1,000, while a straw-grain ration will drop the feed price more than $250.

This year’s cattle feed options look like a mix and match sale at a mattress store. Few farmers have enough traditional hay to feed their livestock through the winter.

Instead, many are looking at a combination of slough hay, hailed canola, greenfeed, silage, chaff piles and grain to feed livestock through the winter at a reasonable price.

“The critical point in all of this is knowing what your feed inventory is, how many animals will that feed supply carry for the winter, proper feed tests and how it all can work,” said Yaremcio.

The late summer rain that helped rejuvenate pastures and hay crops gave some farmers breathing room to delay feeding hay to cattle.

It also created havoc with cereal crops. Seed that didn’t germinate in the spring sprung to life in August, leaving farmers wondering what to do with their crop.

“What do you do with a canola crop that is 50 or 60 percent early bloom or pod stage and the rest of it is starting to be ripe, or 80 percent in the full bloom this time of year when you know it is not going to make a crop,” Yaremcio said.

“A lot of those have been taken for greenfeed or silage.”

Most hailed out or frozen cereal and oilseed crops can be used for livestock feed, but it will take work to balance the ration to get the animals through the winter.

He said farmers need to know what feed they can use, how they can blend it and what changes they need to make to vitamin and min-

eral levels depending on the feed combinations they use.

Yaremcio recommended working with agriculture feed specialists or feed companies to balance a feed ration based on feed tests. Most counties and feed companies have feed probes for testing hay and other feed.

“These three steps should be done no matter what you are doing,” he said.

“Figure out what your carrying capacity is for cows over the winter, keep your economic production unit as long as you can, so that you have a chance to make some cash next year instead of selling everything off.”

Yaremcio said farmers should consider using an ionophore such Rumensin or Bovatec, which can improve the digestibility of what’s expected to be poor quality feed this winter.

Yaremcio estimated that every $1 spent on ionophores returns $5 in feed efficiency in most years, but he believes the return will be closer to $6 or $7 this year because of the low-quality feed that producers are expected to use.

Research done at the University of Alberta’s Kinsella ranch in 2002, when feed was also short, showed that cattle did well on a feed limiting diet.

Researchers fed the cattle about three-quarters what they would normally eat if they were on a free choice diet.

“The cows made it through no problem,” Yaremcio said.

Cattle producers will need to watch the condition of their cattle and add grain to the ration to increase energy if the weather becomes severe.

It’s all a balancing act to keep the feed costs in line, he added.

Yaremcio estimated that feeding cattle straight hay for 225 days, plus a mineral and vitamin supplement, will cost $1,023. Feeding a grain and straw ration from fall to calving and then switching to hay after calving will cost $684. mary.macarthur@producer.com

PDQ to add basis info by year’s end Alberta farm group says the ability to compare futures and cash prices would be beneficial

Crop prices at your fingertips

The PDQ grain price-listing site is simple, which might make farmers happy.

But the Alberta Wheat Commission and farm leaders hope that by adding a little more complexity, the website can have a greater impact, while remaining usable.

“We want to get basis in there,” said Lynn Jacobson, the president of Alberta Federation of Agriculture and a director with Alberta Wheat Commission.

“People are out of line with each other,” he added, referring to the divergent basis that various companies have.

AWC hopes “additional functionalities” will be part of PDQ “certainly before the end of the year,” said AWC general manager Tom Steve.

Those additions include allowing farmers to set their own preferences, choosing what type of prices they see on the page.

It should also include a basis calculation, comparing the spread between futures prices and cash prices.

The AWC’s reporting system provides regional prices for wheat, canola and peas

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Like many farmers, Dan Mazier has most of his grain in the bin and is thinking more about how and where he’s going to sell it this winter.

When he checked out the Alberta Wheat Commission’s new PDQ online price portal, he was pleased.

“I like it,” said Mazier, a Brandon area farmer and president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, checking it out for the first time.

“It seems like they customized it to what guys wanted.”

The PDQ site (Price and Data Quotes) is the product of farmer demands for greater transparency in Western Canadian cash bids after the dreadful 2013-14 crop marketing year. Logistical problems and other factors led to massive differences in prices between various elevator points and farmers often had no clear sense what

their grain was worth.

The Alberta Wheat Commission, with federal funding, hired consultants to design a price-reporting sytem that would offer them a better sense of what prairie grain buyers were offering across the Western Canada.

The PD Q site (pdqinfo.ca), launched Sept. 8, lists prices in nine Western Canadian regions for CWRS, CWAD, CPSR, canola and peas.

Each price is for a particular grade of crop in a region. The prices can-

not be broken out into individual elevator points and are bid prices, not cash-paid prices.

The list of prices and the average pricing is supposed to provide farmers with a baseline upon which they can judge the specific prices they can see at individual buyers’ points.

“I think it will help,” said Alberta Federation of Agriculture president Lynn Jacobson, who is also an AWC director.

“It’s not the only marketing tool people should use. It’s just a guideline that’s giving you average prices. You should still do your own marketing. You can still negotiate better prices.”

Indeed, the prices on the PDQ site do not attempt to reveal the spread of prices between the benchmark grade and those for better or worse grades and qualities.

And it doesn’t address the specific pricing for grain traded on specifications outside grade, something that is becoming a more

important part of crop marketing in the post-CWB environment.

All six members of the Western Grain Elevator Association are voluntarily providing their bid information to the PDQ system, something they are happy to do as long as they aren’t giving away information their competitors could use against them.

“We had to have some discussions about things and it wasn’t extremely easy, but we got through the issues that came up,” said WGEA executive director Wade Sobkowich.

As the harvest rolls in and farmers switch their attention to sellng grain, they will have a chance to see how well the PDQ site fits into their marketing, said Tom Steve, the AWC general manager.

“This is a long term process,” said Steve.

“We wanted to get version one out there to get feedback from producers and others.”

That also involves adding a currency conversion function, which could either put U.S. futures into Canadian dollar terms, or take Prairie cash elevator prices and convert them to U.S. dollars.

“We want to link those prices directly,” said Steve.

While the AWC wants to expand what PDQ shows, it also wants to make sure it doesn’t get too cluttered and challenging to use.

Steve said “ease of use” was one of the key elements when formulating PDQ.

CANOL PRODUCTION

Initial canola crop usually underestimated Statistics Canada misses the mark on production estimates

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The historical record shows that canola crops are usually a lot bigger than initially reported by Statistics Canada.

Larry Weber, analyst with Weber Commodities, has compared the August production estimate to the final estimate over the past nine years.

In eight of those years the final estimate was substantially higher than Statistics Canada’s first predictions.

The only exception was 2012-13, when the final estimate was 1.54 million tonnes smaller than the August projection. That was the year when wind gusts of up to 100 km-h tossed canola swaths around and shattered prospects for a good crop.

“The majority of that (1.54 million tonnes) blew away in that one wind over the weekend,” said Weber.

For the other eight years, Statistics Canada underestimated the crop by 366,000 to 3.82 million tonnes.

In 2009-10, the August estimate of 9.54 million tonnes was short by 3.36 million tonnes.

“They missed it by 35 percent,” said Weber.

The average over the past nine years is an underestimate of 1.68 million tonnes. To put that in perspective, that is more than the 2014 export program to Mexico of 1.4 million tonnes, which was Canada’s third largest market that year.

“In this day and age, we shouldn’t

Even with satellite maps and a farmer survey, Statistics Canada estimates have low-balled the crop by more than a million tonnes. | FILE PHOTO be missing by this much,” he said.

Weber said Statistics Canada has satellite maps of vegetative growth it should be using to hone its production estimates. It could also have people in the fields counting pods.

The August estimate is now based mainly on farm surveys.

The good news for growers is that forecasts of smaller crops generally help drive prices higher, especially in a crop like canola, of which Canada is the world’s leading exporter by a long shot.

“That has worked out in the farmer’s favour because if those stocks had been in there, (the grain companies) would not have had to ante up as much as they did,” he said.

Given the historical pattern, growers should be counting on a 2015-16 crop of slightly more than 15 million tonnes, which might make them a little more inclined to sell than they would be based on the August estimate of 13.34 million tonnes.

“If you’re a canola buyer, you’re betting that it’s 15 (million tonnes),” said Weber.

Derek Squair, president of AgriTrend Marketing, agreed that the canola number will be higher than Statistics Canada’s August estimate of 13.34 million tonnes.

“We’re definitely creeping higher.

We’re pleasantly surprised with some of the early canola yields that are coming off,” he said.

Saskatchewan Agriculture is forecasting a provincial average of 32 bushels per acre, Alberta Agriculture is estimating 30.4 and Manitoba Agriculture’s last estimate on Aug. 17 said early yields were 30 to 50 bu. per acre.

“The crop is getting bigger. I wouldn’t go as high as 15 (million tonnes). That’s real high. I think we’re probably more like 14 or 14.1,” said Squair.

His estimate could be scaled back a bit depending on how much damage was caused by last week’s frost in eastern Saskatchewan.

Squair said the trade is often skeptical of Statistics Canada’s production and export estimates.

FLOOR PRICE ELIMINATED

China’s subsidy change may boost canola exports

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A shift in China’s rapeseed subsidy should eventually result in increased demand for Canadian canola, say industry officials.

China has eliminated its national floor price for the crop and is leaving it up to the provinces to come up with individual subsidy programs.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that four of the nine rapeseed-growing provinces have announced their subsidy program.

Jiangsu and Hubei have a policy that amounts to about US$30 per acre, which is less than what was previously reported. Anhui and Sichuan have also released details but the USDA said it was difficult to quantify the per acre subsidy in those provinces.

The USDA report said industry sources widely believe the rapeseed farmer’s gross income of about $600 per ton in 2015-16 is

significantly lower than the floor price of $823 per ton the previous year.

Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, said the policy shift could have implications for China’s rapeseed acres.

“The provincial subsidy incentives are less than when the national government had a floor price in place,” she said. “Simple economics would tell you if they are getting less that would result in reduced production.”

Tracey Shelton, spokesperson for Richardson International, said some rapeseed growing provinces might have no subsidy.

“If they are removing the support policy then certainly we think that would help Canada in the long-run in terms of pushing up demand and having increased need for canola,” she said.

Richardson is noticing an uptick in Chinese demand for canola in September.

“There has definitely been an

increase in calls and interest,” she said.

“It could be a seasonal thing or it could be the start of this impact.”

One canola trader thinks the policy change could result in a 35 percent cut in China’s rapeseed acres in November when the next crop is planted.

Miller doubts the reduction will be that large because rapeseed is a double crop in China that is followed by rice.

“They have to have something to plant there, so that might buffer the effect of the lower prices somewhat,” she said.

Dale Thorenson, assistant director of the U.S. Canola Association, agreed with that sentiment.

“The question would be, what would they plant instead? I mean, it has to be planted to something.”

But Thorenson believes there will be some acreage reduction because farmers are getting less money for growing the crop.

Thorenson said that should even-

tually result in increased canola imports but the impact will be delayed by China’s huge stockpile of rapeseed oil.

The International Grains Council estimates China has six million tonnes of the oil in its strategic reserves, which has become costly to maintain. That is the main reason China is changing its subsidy program.

“It’s a needed reaction to an oversupply,” said Thorenson.

Miller pointed out that the quality of Canada’s canola oil is superior to China’s rapeseed oil, so they are different commodities in many respects.

She believes Chinese demand for Canadian canola will remain strong regardless of what happens to the rapeseed subsidy.

“Just from the growth in the middle income, interest in health, all of those basics that have driven canola demand over the years.” sean.pratt@producer.com

two numbers: the real numbers and the StatsCan numbers.”

Squair believes part of the problem with the August estimate this year was that the grower survey was conducted in late July when it was hot and dry. Rain in August and September has since bolstered yields.

Weber believes Agriculture Canada’s Market Analysis Group needs to play a role in second-guessing Statistics Canada’s numbers rather than plugging them into its supply and demand estimates without question.

“That whole department has to get some balls,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

INVESTIGATION

WHEAT EXPECTATIONS

China looks into illegal GM crops New varieties BEIJING, China (Reuters) — China will launch a nation-wide investigation over the suspected illegal cultivation of geneticallymodified (GM) crops, the agriculture ministry has posted on its website.

The investigation follows a report by an official financial newspaper last week that GM soybeans have been found in the country’s top growing area for the oilseed.

China is the world’s top buyer of GM soybeans, but Beijing has not given the go-ahead for domestic cultivation of GM crops, although it has spent billions on research.

However, some farmers in the northeast province of Heilongjiang are growing GM soy crops illegally to seek higher yields, the China Business Journal reported.

The report identified an area near the city of Suihua where GM crops are allegedly being grown, but gave no further details. The local Heilongjiang agricultural commission has said on its website that it would also investigate whether GMO crops are produced in the province.

Opponents of GM crops have long accused China’s agriculture ministry of poor supervision of GM crop trials, saying seeds have been sold to farmers for cultiva-

Heilongjiang, which produces about one third of the country’s total soybean output, is known for growing protein-rich non-GMO soy crops used to make food products, including tofu and soy sauce.

The ministry earlier in the year revised regulations to increase the supervision of biotech products

under development amid heightened public concern over its ability to keep illegal GMO products out of the food chain.

Po r t a u t h o r i t i e s h av e a l s o cracked down on illegal sales of cheap GMO varieties to food companies, especially in the northern province of Shandong, the country’s largest distribution centre for imported soy, the China National Grain and Oils Information Centre said in August.

Winter wheat acres are expected to rebound this year.

Jake Davidson, executive director of Winter Cereals Canada, is forecasting a modest increase in plantings after a big drop last fall.

“My seed people tell me there’s reasonable demand for seed,” he said.

Davidson believes growers in Manitoba and Saskatchewan will plant 325,000 to 350,000 acres in each province, and Alberta farmers will provide about 170,000 to 200,000 acres.

T hat w o u l d re s u l t i n a b o u t 850,000 acres prairie-wide, which is 27 percent more than what went in the ground last fall but below the previous five-year average of one million acres.

Last year’s fall planting was hampered by a long, drawn-out harvest.

D av i d s o n s a i d g ro w e r s a re blessed by an open fall in most areas this year and are excited about planting some of the new varieties such as Emerson, AAC Gateway and Moats.

Winter wheat is seeded mainly on canola stubble. Some canola fields were harvested earlier than usual this year, but others were delayed because they were reseeded because of spring frost and flooding.

Davidson has spoken to farmers who will be seeding winter wheat on pea or soybean stubble because of the lack of available canola stubble. Some brave souls are even considering planting the crop on chemfallow fields.

Harvest rain has also been a complicating factor in certain areas this year.

“There’s so many people where I am, their spring wheat crops are swathed and lying there dropping in grade, so their priority if they get a good day is going to be they’re going to jump on the combine,” said Davidson, whose office is in Minnedosa, Man. The good news is that adequate soil moisture is available to provide the new winter wheat crop with a good start. As well, August and September have been warm.

“If (the crop) was in the ground, I would think that would give you a kick-start,” he said.

Most winter wheat planting takes place between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15 in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, so most of the crop is already in the ground, and Davidson believes it is in good shape heading into fall.

This year’s yields of 60 to 80 bushels per acre in Manitoba were disappointing, considering that it is not uncommon to harvest 120 bu. yields in the lush Red River Valley region.

WINTER WHEAT ACREAGE EXPECTED TO INCREASE Winter wheat area should increase this fall but still fall short of the long term average.

SHANNON FRIESEN SASKATCHEWAN AGRICULTURE

The good news for Manitoba growers is that fusarium infection levels are low and protein levels are high.

Saskatchewan Agriculture is forecasting a provincial average of 37 bu. per acre, ranging from a high of 44 in the southeast to a low of 24 in the southwest.

Shannon Friesen, cropping management specialist with the province, said that is about an average crop. She hasn’t heard any complaints about quality.

“We did hear from a few producers that yields were much better on their winter cereals than they were on their spring cereals,” she said.

Friesen expects acres will be up in Saskatchewan compared to last fall, which was one of the smallest crops in a long while.

“This year, especially in the south, there has already been a number of acres seeded simply because we could actually take the previous crop off in time,” she said.

Harry Brook, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said growers in his province were disappointed with their winter wheat crops.

“It was hurt by the drought,” he said.

Heads were small and not plentiful and the crop was shorter than usual.

Brook said there was plenty of opportunity for growers to seed winter wheat because harvest was early this year in Alberta. However, wheat prices have not been tantalizing, so he expects a normal crop of 170,000 to 200,000 acres. sean.pratt@producer.com

USDA ENDING STOCKS

Rally from tighter corn supply spreads to other crops MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

C

orn futures enjoyed a boost from the monthly United States Department of Agriculture report released last week and its price strength spilled over into other crops.

The USDA cut its U.S. and world corn production and ending stocks outlooks from its August report.

It lowered its U.S. corn production forecast to 345.07 million tonnes, down about 2.5 million.

The world crop forecast fell 7.5 million tonnes to 978.1 million. In addition to the cut in U.S. produc-

tion, the other big reduction was in Europe, where production fell 4.25 million tonnes.

USDA now sees world corn 201516 ending stocks at 189.7 million tonnes, down about 5.5 million from last month and down about 7.5 million from the 2014-15 year end. The change was not earth shattering, but it was enough to help December corn futures rally about five percent by the time this column was written Sept. 14.

Because corn is the foundation of grain prices, its rally helped lift wheat even though the USDA’s numbers for that crop were negative.

The USDA lifted its global wheat production forecast by about five million tonnes from the August report to 156.24 million. Crop year ending stocks climbed by a similar amount to 226.56 million tonnes That is up about 15 million tonnes over 2014-15 year end stocks.

The wheat number increased

THE WORLD CROP FORECAST FELL

7.5 million TONNES mostly because a much larger than expected European wheat crop.

Winter wheat was harvested before this summer’s heat wave could damage it, but the spring-seeded corn crop was hurt.

It is shaping up to be another year of intense competition in the global wheat market that will keep downward pressure on prices.

The U.S., Europe, Black Sea region now have most of their wheat in the bin and Canada is well into harvest.

Australia’s harvest is a few weeks away but even with a strong El Nino in place, its wheat crop is doing well. Its official forecast, also out

last week, is for 25.3 million tonnes, up from 23.7 million last year.

It expects its canola crop will be 3.1 million tonnes, better than was expected earlier this summer but still down nine percent from last year due to a 13 percent reduction in seeded area.

The USDA did not cut U.S. soybean yields and production, surprising traders who had expected some trimming. But the numbers did not spark a price sell off. The trade appears to believe that the USDA will eventually make the cuts in its October report.

But the recent gains in oilseed markets might be short lived as traders will soon increase their focus on South American growing prospects, and they look bearish for prices.

Even though soybean prices are below the cost of production of some American producers, Brazil is expected to increase its acreage

this fall by 2.3 percent to 80 million acres. The crop is not seeded yet but local forecaster Celeres expects production to increase to 97.1 million tonnes.

Brazil’s commodity heavy economy is in recession, its stock prices are falling, its bonds have been downgraded to junk and its currency, the real, is plummeting, down about 45 percent since the start of the year.

As the real falls it lifts the soybean price in the local currency helping reinforce the idea that seeded acreage will rise.

The El Nino, which is expected to continue through the winter, normally delivers good rainfall to South America’s soy fields raising the likelihood of another record crop that will keep a lid on oilseed prices, including canola.

Alberta feedlots have been less aggressive.

Buyers seem to be staying away from lighter calves and buyers on electronic sales seem to be more willing to pick away on partial loads of calves.

Even with lower prices, many see the calf market as a seller’s market.

Some producers who would traditionally finish their own calves are instead selling them on the open cash or forward market.

Export volumes are anticipated to seasonally increase, however even with the loonie at US75 cents exports for the rest of the year could struggle to keep pace with 2014.

But the price will still be comparatively expensive relative to chicken and pork.

CRAIG’S VIEW

CANADIAN FOOD INSPECTION AGENCY

CFIA baffles pork sector with transport truck rules

H

eroic efforts to keep a deadly hog disease at bay in Canada may be for naught due to pending regulatory moves by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Ironically, the very federal agency tasked with keeping animal disease out of the country could increase the risk that porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) virus will become a greater threat in Western Canada.

As PED ravaged the American pork industry, infecting thousands of hog operations and killing millions of piglets, Canadian swine health agencies, provincial pork groups and veterinarians collaborated to limit damage.

And despite the ease with which PED can move, just over 100 operations were affected and only seven barns in Manitoba lost pigs to the virus. Other western provinces are infection free.

Hog transport trucks travelling to and from the United States are deemed the most likely vector for virus spread, so emergency measures at the main Manitoba border crossing ensured the trucks were sealed upon entering Canada and then taken directly to a wash station for thorough cleaning, disinfection and drying.

From there, the trucks travel to hog operations throughout Western Canada.

The emergency measure was a success, judging from current PED infection numbers.

But as of Oct. 1, the CFIA says it will enforce regulations that transport trucks be washed on the American side of the border. That sounds like a good idea, except there are few U.S. truck washes that can adequately do the job.

And that means transports that appear clean might still carry the virus. It also means they will have to be washed again on the Canadian side if producers want to be certain of cleanliness.

Why is the CFIA cancelling the emergency protocol? As has become commonplace when seeking information from that agency, the CFIA did not respond to queries.

In a notification to the industry, it said its plan would reduce the risk of disease transmission. The Canadian pork industry disagrees.

George Matheson, chair of the Manitoba Pork Council, said it appears to be an effort on the CFIA’s part to avoid liability should the virus become widespread in Canada.

He also said the emergency protocol incurred no major cost to the agency beyond periodic inspections. Manitoba Pork paid for the tags and private industry paid for the rest. So, cost to federal taxpayers does not seem to have been a factor in the decision.

Manitoba Pork has asked the CFIA for an extension of the emergency protocol while it explores options to keep Canadian pigs free of PED. One of those options is to build an adequate truck wash station in North Dakota, near the busiest border crossing for returning hog truck traffic.

That way, the CFIA regulations could actually work to reduce the risk of viral spread.

The requested extension should be granted.

ELECTION 2015

Green Party vows support for small scale farmers, ag research CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

S

even weeks into the federal election campaign, one political party — the Green Party of Canada — has finally released details about what it plans to do for farmers, if elected.

The chances of the Green Party being elected Canada’s next government are slim to none. Still, the party’s release of its full platform Sept. 9 by leader Elizabeth May in Vancouver marks the first time Canada’s agriculture sector has garnered a mention on the campaign trail.

The Green Party is the first federal party to release its fully costed elec-

tion platform.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair has said his party plans to publish its full platform before the next leaders’ debate set for Sept. 17 in Calgary, after deadlines for this issue.

The Green Party’s platform focuses primarily on supporting organic and small-scale farmers, a pledge expected from a party heavily focused on environmental issues.

The Green Party said it will create “resilient local economies fuelled by local growers, farmers and producers.” Funding would also be provided for communitysupported agriculture and farmers markets.

The policy also contains a commitment to improving and expanding public research, particularly basic research, a demand Canada’s agriculture sectors have stated repeatedly.

Not everyone in agriculture will be happy with the Green Party’s plan around who will be eligible for government research funding. The

party’s promises include a commitment to “shift governmentsupported research away from biotechnology and energy intensive farming and towards organic and sustainable food production.”

The Green Party isn’t the only group to talk about agricultural research lately.

The Agricultural Institute of Canada released its long anticipated agricultural research policy Sept 10.

The policy includes five pillars aimed at creating a national research policy for agriculture.

The AIC said the Canadian government must create a national body aimed at developing “medium and long-term agricultural research priorities and strategies.”

The current federal Science Technology and Innovation Council “lacks the mandate to be a coordinating body to bring multiple stakeholders together to develop the needed… strategies,” the AIC

said.

The sector also needs to work on prioritizing interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral agricultural research, AIC said.

And, like the Green Party, the AIC said stakeholders and various levels of government must “ensure longer-term, stable funding” for research projects.

Both the federal Liberals and the NDP have also said improved funding is needed for Canada’s research and science sector. Both parties have demanded cuts be reversed and funding restored.

With the federal election at its halfway point, and the campaign gaining speed, the expectation is that Canada’s research sector will gain attention on the election trail.

The subject could come up on Sept. 17, despite the debate centring around the economy, as opposition parties seek to diversify Canada’s economy beyond oil and gas.

Meanwhile, Canada’s agriculture

sector has said it needs more research funding to help address concerns around environmental and climate changes, which are impacting yields and growing conditions.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture, and members such as Keystone Agricultural Producers, Alberta Federation of Agriculture, Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, Grain Growers of Canada and the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association have all identified agricultural research as a top concern for farmers this election.

Canada’s political agriculture leaders are set to debate agricultural issues on Sept. 30 in Ottawa.

CFA president Ron Bonnett has said questions will be asked about the parties’ commitments to agricultural research and their plans for agriculture in general.

& OPEN FORUM ELECTION 2015

AGRICULTURAL AGENDA

Where are farm issues in the election?

BY DAN MAZIER

E

very day I tune into the election news, hoping for some mention of agriculture: the issues we in the industry are facing and proposed solutions. And every day I’m disappointed.

But I remain optimistic because surely the parties and the candidates will realize at some point that agriculture is a major economic driver, creating one in eight jobs and contributing more than $100 billion to the Canadian economy, and it cannot be ignored.

If they’re short on ideas about how to engage the farm vote, how about starting with Canada’s grain transportation system? It’s been broken for such a long time now, and efforts over the past 30 years to fix it have yielded little for farmers.

Deregulation was supposed to have resulted in better, more innovative rail transportation services, but in reality it’s meant branch line abandonment, a drastic decrease in the number of delivery points and increased costs for hauling grain to these points.

On the other hand, deregulation has allowed the railways to reduce expenses, reduce services and increase profits.

The issue has been and still is a lack of competition. This was apparent in the fall of 2013, where at one point, only 27 percent of cars were delivered to elevators on time — and that was to haul a recordbreaking bumper crop.

Farmers lost billions because of backlogs at local elevators that caused basis levels to skyrocket.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

Grain transportation offers one issue that candidates should tackle during this campaign. | And the sad part is, not much in the way of rail service has changed.

Last year, according to the Ag Transport Coalition, Canadian National Railway delivered on average 62 percent of cars on time, while Canadian Pacific Railway averaged 36 percent.

Remember that the railways have a monopoly. Farm groups have been decrying this monopoly for years, and the federal government finally took action last year.

First, the government ordered the railways to each move 500,000 tonnes of grain per week or face $100,000 fines. This was followed by a review of the Canada Transportation Act, which is still ongoing, with a report due in December.

I cannot stress enough the importance of this review. It is paramount to improving grain shipping — the best hope we’ve had in a long time.

I sat on the Crop Logistics Working Group with other key stakeholders from across the country, including producers, shippers and

processors, to develop a submission for the review in the hopes of fixing the system.

In a d d i t i o n , m a n y o f t h e s e groups, including Keystone Agricultural Producers, made individual submissions, and it appears that essentially most agree what the elements of the fix must be.

They include creating railway accountability and transparency relating to service, giving the Canadian Transportation Agency increased power to monitor railway service and enforce service agreements, improving shippers’ rights in service agreements and improving small shippers’ access to rail service.

I also sat on the group’s subcommittee that looked into the maximum revenue entitlement mechanism that prevents the railways from overcharging farmers to move grain. Railways would like to get rid of this mechanism, but our group found that it really does work the way it’s supposed to.

The first positive steps have been

taken with the CTA review, and now we need a commitment from each political party that if elected, they will not allow the review recommendations to sit on the shelf.

If politicians still don’t think transportation is important, I point to the fact that new and expanded trade agreements require moving more and more farm goods and other products to export markets.

What’s the good of a trade agreement if we can’t get our products to market? In essence, we’re putting the cart before the horse.

Ever the eternal optimist, I will continue to scan the news in the hope that some candidate thinks farm issues are important, starting with a promise to act upon the recommendations of the CTA review.

If not, the door remains open for more heavy losses for farmers.

BEYOND BELIEFS

Food takes on religious tone in diet, donations HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

F

ood has become the new religion, at least in the western world. Church attendance may be waning, but it seems that religious values have been bestowed upon food issues.

Similar to all the Christian denominations that exist, you can choose what you specifically want to believe about food. Science and religion have often clashed and it’s the same with science and food values. Some food beliefs are based on fact, but many are based on perception.

Welfare issues are increasingly dictating how animals are raised.

Candidates debate ag issues — finally

There may be valid reasons why laying hens are in cages and sows are housed in gestation crates, but perception is everything.

People with no association to animal agriculture look at the practices from their viewpoint and decide the animals are being treated badly. The big buyers such as McDonald’s and A&W switch buying patterns to satisfy a vocal segment of their customer base.

Animal husbandry codes of practice designed by producers and professionals take a back seat to retail reality.

Philosophies sometimes clash.

By definition, organic food must be free of GMOs so you’d think organic promoters would be on the same page as those pushing to have GMO foods labelled. While these may be many of the same people, GMO labelling would actually hurt the organic food industry. Currently, a certified organic label supposedly guarantees GMO free and that’s a significant selling point.

When it comes to feeding the

hungry, statistics are often quoted that show rising use of food banks, but the underlying causes are seldom researched. When you offer free food with no means test, is it really a surprise when demand keeps rising?

Perhaps social assistance doesn’t provide enough support. But perhaps social assistance money is sometimes wasted on alcohol or drugs. Would issuing food stamps in lieu of social assistance money decrease the need for food banks?

There doesn’t seem to be much desire to explore other methods of ensuring adequate food for everyone, including the working poor.

People like the feeling they get by supporting food banks. It’s more tangible than putting money in the collection plate on Sunday.

The local food movement is another denomination of food religion. Advocates believe locally produced food has to be more nutritious with a lower environmental impact. Frequently, that is not the case, but many religions

employ selective use of facts.

From the “my body is a temple” sect comes food choices based on health claims. Most everyone accepts the strong relationship between health and diet, but information on what constitutes a healthy diet is highly contradictory.

Who do you believe? Who paid for that study? A food is sometimes demonized, only to be resurrected as a champion a few years later.

A small percentage of people have gluten intolerance, but a much larger percentage of the population have come to believe that they’re better off avoiding foods with gluten. Legitimate food allergies abound, but many others only suspect they have an allergy and it changes what they consume.

With food, ever yone makes choices every day and those choices can become a religion of their own.

hose who have lamented the lack of discussion on agricultural issues during the federal election campaign will get their chance to see first-hand how the key figures in each party see the way ahead.

Glacier FarmMedia, of which The Western Producer is a division, is cosponsoring an ag debate organized by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture on Sept. 30 in Ottawa.

The two-hour debate, which will be conducted in front of an audience, will be broadcast live on the CFA’s website, starting at 11 a.m.

The next day, the video replay will be available on The Western Producer’s website (producer.com).

The panelists will be Conservative Gerry Ritz (who served as the agriculture minister), the NDP’s Malcolm Allen (who was the agriculture critic), Liberal Mark Eyking (who was also an agriculture critic) and Bruce Hyer, who served as the deputy leader of the Green Party.

The BQ has been approached to participate, but no member has yet been identified.

The debate will be moderated by Andrew Campbell, a farmer and broadcaster from Ontario.

The format is straightforward.

Each candidate gets three minutes to outline their position, after which they’ll be asked to answer seven questions, five in English and two in French. Each candidate gets two minutes to respond, followed by a four-to-five minute open debate among themselves.

In my experience, that last part is usually quite interesting because it can be freewheeling, and candidates can have a go at each other’s positions.

The Western Producer’s political writer Karen Briere will be at the debate, bringing readers coverage and context.

Questions put to the panelists will focus on the areas of research, labour, careers in farming, environment, risk management, trade and what has become known as “social licence”, given the increasing interest in how food is produced.

This will be important for farmers. It’s the one time when each party must address issues in their own voice, rather than putting out a platform and moving on.

We hope you’ll join us, either live on Sept. 30 on the CFA’s website, or on The Producer’s website for the replay the following day.

NATURE MUST PREVAIL To the Editor: During the last few years SaskWater has been trying to solve the Quill Lakes flooding problems. The Quill Lakes are an enclosed system, meaning that there is no natural outlet.

It is devastating to farmers around that system who watch water creep up to, and eventually swallow, their land and in some cases their yard.

Recently SaskWater has been holding meetings in certain centers to obtain public input to alleviate the Quill Lakes flooding.

Not far from the Quill Lakes is another lake that has had a natural run (creek) since the last ice age.

That natural outlet has been restricted by the local government.

This restriction is causing flooding and destruction of residence on a smaller scale than the Quill Lakes fiasco.

SaskWater did back that restriction and that local government and SaskWater will not allow the natural flow to be reinstalled.

SaskWater allows a natural system to be restricted and yet are considering establishing a man-made water system to alleviate flooding. That is truly hypocrisy at its finest.

MRE EXPLAINED To the Editor: As an important follow-up to the Farmers’ Forum on Transportation held in Saskatoon on July 20th, 2015, and as a result of misstatements made in a recent article titled Grain Sector Needs to

Discuss Hopper Car Replacement (WP Aug. 20), it is important to clarify certain features of the Maximum Revenue Entitlement (MRE) formula, used to determine the revenue earned by CP and CN Rail for the shipment of producers’ grain to port.

First, in the article, CP Rail suggests the MRE limits the amount of revenue that the railways can collect from moving grain, when this is actually not the case.

The MRE limits the revenue per tonne, per mile that can be collected but it does not limit the total amount of revenue collected by the railways — the more grain they move, the more revenue they collect.

Second, CP suggests in the article that the MRE restricts investment in network capacity, includ-

ing the replacement of federally owned hopper cars.

However, the current formula for the MRE contains a variable referred to as the “Volume Related Composite Price Index (VRCPI),” which includes a direct provision for the replacement of federal government hopper cars taken out of service.

This is in addition to a provision for hopper car leasing, hopper car maintenance, cost of capital, and amortization of investments.

These inclusions are contained in subsection 151(1) of the Canada Transportation Act and were described in detail by Dale McKeague of the CTA, at the Farmers’ Forum on Transportation.

Having an efficient and fair rail transportation system is of critical importance for western Canadian

THE WESTERN PRODUCER | WWW.PRODUCER.COM | SEPTEMBER 17, 2015

farmers, who, without the MRE, are at the mercy of railway monopoly pricing.

While it is important to plan for fleet renewal and strive to improve efficiency, the MRE currently provides the railways with the capacity to do just that.

In light of these facts, the SWDC, the SBDC, and APAS would like to reiterate their recommendations to the CTA that the MRE remain in place and that a formal costing review be completed and appropriate adjustments be made to the formula, such that fair compensation to the railways for hauling grain can be ensured.

ELECTION 2015

Pork council outlines election issues

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The Canadian Pork Council last week released its wish list for federal candidates and more particularly the winners of the Oct. 19 vote.

Council chair Rick Bergmann said farmers should make sure candidates are aware of agricultural issues.

“We create over $13 billion worth of economic activity. With that amount of economic activity we have to make sure that for our members, but for Canada really, that we remain strong and as a leader,” he said.

The council’s industry platform contains requests in the areas of market access, competitiveness, labour availability and business risk management.

“TPP, and just trade in general, is critical for our industry,” Bergmann said, referring to the TransPacific Partnership.

The Canadian pork sector exports more than 60 percent of its production. Bergmann said the government has in the last couple of years signed deals that will benefit Canadian producers and that momentum must continue.

The council wants TPP signed, with Canada as a partner, and pressure maintained on the U.S. to change its country-of-origin labeling laws.

Labour availability is an issue both in processing and on farms, he said.

The CPC wants the Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Workforce Program established.

And on the risk management file, Bergmann said programs have to be able to meet producers’ needs within those changes.

The platform calls for improvements to existing programs, a modernized Canadian Agricultural Loans Act to reflect growing farm sizes, higher costs and more complex farming structures, and ways to mitigate the risk of margin calls for producers so that hedging is a useful tool.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association released its priorities in mid-August.

President Dave Solverson said cattle producers are receiving excellent prices but other factors can negatively affect market opportunities.

“This underscores the importance of a competitive industry supported by a science-based regulatory environment for Canada’s beef cattle sector,” he said.

The CCA is looking to government to create the environment that allows herd expansion, secure access to high value markets and invest in research. The beef sector, too, is struggling with access to sufficient labour both in processing and on farms.

Successfully negotiating and concluding the TPP, and resolving the COOL dispute, are priorities for the CCA as well. karen.briere@producer.com

grows based on its success, but the operators don’t realize that it has become a complex operation.

That lack of awareness is a big risk for farmers, said members of a roundtable of agriculture-focused professionals discussing the evolution of modern farm management.

“Any other operation, if they were producing chairs or tables, they would have had that board of directors in (place) years ago,” said David Derwin, a risk management and hedging specialist with P.I. Financial in Winnipeg, where the discussion took place.

Farm real estate specialist Stacey Hiebert shared that view.

“More farms, if they want to continue growing, will have to stick to an advisory board, have their key people in their key areas,” said Hiebert, who is based in the booming and competitive Steinbach area of southern Manitoba.

Farms need to be “putting advisers in place to work with the goal of the farm.”

The notion of having a board of directors or an advisory board might seem ridiculous to many farmers, but such boards are common with non-farm businesses once they go beyond simple operations.

Operators of multi-faceted businesses often realize they have moved into areas beyond their expertise and want a formalized advice-gathering structure. But that’s still not common with farms.

It’s something farm management expert Terry Betker often sees.

“A lot of these farms have grown to the size they are with an operational focus. At some point that has to change,” said Betker, who operates Backswath Management.

Even farmers that realize they need to improve long-term management oversight sometimes get caught up in the yearly cycle of farming, where there are always jobs that require immediate attention and don’t get around to it.

There’s also the typical riskiness of farming and its psychological impact. If a farmer has survived this long in the business, he’s probably used to large amounts of risk and may not realize how risky his business is compared to others.

“Farmers become comfortable with risk because it’s inherent in what they do,” said Betker.

Derwin said he’s trying to find a way to get farmers to work on longterm risks, even if they have other immediate concerns.

“It’s all very, very important, but it’s not necessarily urgent,” said Derwin. “The urgent things get done first, then these (other) important things, suddenly you (realize) you should have been doing this planning, three, four or five years ago.”

Having a board of directors or advisory board might be a way to make long range management issues seem more urgent. ed.white@producer.com

EARL W. BASCOM

Father of modern rodeo inducted into Hall of Fame

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bronc riders and bullriders the world over owe a debt of thanks to a quiet, unassuming Canadian cowboy born more than a century ago known today as the father of modern rodeo.

The late Earl W. Bascom (1906-95) single-handedly designed and built several key rodeo components that improved the sport.

Rodeo’s first side-delivery bucking chute, first hornless bronc saddle, first one-handed bareback rigging and first rodeo chaps are all Bascom inventions.

“He was at the right place at the right time with the right abilities and inventiveness,” said his youngest son John Bascom who lives in Utah.

“He brought in more safety to the rodeo and better riding. Showmanship was better and it changed rodeo completely.”

John was recently in Calgary to accept honours for his father, who is recognized as the first rodeo champion to be inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Considered the world’s greatest inventor of rodeo equipment, Bascom was awarded the Canadian Sports Legend title during induction ceremonies at the hall of fame museum.

“The thing that I think is wonderful is it started right in Canada,” said John.

“The influence from these Canadian inventions has now spread throughout the world of rodeo.”

Bascom was born in Utah in 1906.

The family moved to Alberta in 1914 to work for Ray Knight of Raymond, Alta., and eventually moved to a farm at Welling Station in Cardston County.

Sometimes called the bronc bustin’ Bascom boys, brothers Raymond, Mel, Earl and Weldon, as well as their father John W. Bascom, were among the early pioneers of rodeo in Canada.

Bascom introduced Brahma bull riding during a rodeo he put on in Columbia, Mississippi, in 1935. It was also the first rodeo in the world to be held outdoors at night under electric lights.

The popularity of Brahma bull riding quickly spread and Bascom became known as the father of Brahma bull riding.

Bascom cowboyed and rodeoed across the West, winning several All-Around Championships and was a life member of the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association.

During his rodeo career spanning 1916 to 1940, Bascom competed in the rough stock events of saddle and bareback bronc riding, bull riding (with and without a saddle), as well as steer riding, steer decorating, steer wrestling, wild horse racing and wild cow milking. He also performed trick riding and was a bullfighter.

Bascom’s first invention came in 1916 when he designed the first side-delivery bucking chute. He followed that up with rodeo’s first hornless bronc saddle in 1922.

Cowboys soon called it a mulee saddle, comparing it to a cow without horns. It caused a sensation

EARL W. BASCOM CANADIAN COWBOY

during the Cardston Stampede that same year. Before designing the mulee, John said his father described the many times during

competition when the reins would hook on the horn, or on the rider’s belt and flip him out of his saddle.

“I’d be better without a horn,” John remembers his father saying.

In 1924, Bascom developed rodeo’s first one-handed bareback rigging, which soon became the standard.

“He made it because the ones that were available were actually twohanded,” said John.

“Dad said this wasn’t good so he designed a one-handed rigging.”

The invention of modern high cut, rodeo style chaps followed two years later.

“Dad took his chaps and cut them up high. He made it above where the knee bends, whereas before it was below and it would crinkle and bind as you spurred,” said John. “He said this will make it look wilder.”

Like all the other inventions, this one was copied and eventually manufactured by someone else.

“He was more interested in the invention rather than the production of it,” said John.

Bascom finished the 1940 season and retired from rodeoing, although John remembers seeing his father riding a bull during an event in 1963.

FREE TRADE SUPPORTER

Ontario company’s success hinges on open trade

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

ST. THOMAS, Ont. — At a meeting where other speakers questioned the wisdom of liberalized trade, the owner of a small agricultural manufacturing company talked about its upside.

Glen Buurma said Penta, which manufactures feed mixers, multipurpose dump boxes and tillage equipment, has been in expansion mode since launching its tillage line in 2009.

Sixty percent of today’s sales are to the United States, another 20

percent are bought domestically and the rest goes to Russia and Australia.

Buurma took over the business from his father in 1997, when the major focus was on the refurbishment of feed equipment. The company eventually began making vertical feed mixers, but in 2007 a patent infringement issue put the company in a tailspin.

“I’ve had a couple times in my life when things were pretty rough,” he said. “Those are the times when you learn the most … (but) whenever there’s a challenge in a certain area, there’s also an opportunity.”

Buurma said he and his team put their financial and legal house in order in the wake of the crisis.

Another challenge was a downturn in the U.S. dairy industry around 2009, which was a period of high grain and oilseed prices and low prices for milk.

That led to the focus on tillage.

Buurma now employs 120 workers and has four manufacturing locations, a research and development facility and a farm where tillage equipment is tested. Most recently, the company acquired another Ontario company, N.E. Hagedorn & Sons Ltd., which

manufactures the Hydra-Spread line of solid manure spreaders.

Buurma said his company’s success is heavily dependent on the relationship he has with his employees, customers and dealers. It’s important to have people in place who understand the culture of those they deal with when marketing into the U.S. and overseas, he added.

Equipment sold to the United States bears a half maple leaf, but the stars and stripes are also prominent.

Burma’s personal demeanour doesn’t hurt either.

Well over six feet tall and lanky, he comes across as Jimmy Stewart of Hollywood fame. At least that was the impression of at least two members of the small audience who heard him speak recently in St. Thomas.

He left school early, speaks plainly, is not above admitting his own mistakes.

“I’ve tried to find people smarter than me — and believe me, that’s not hard to do — to surround myself with,” he said. “I’m into the relationship side of things. That’s where the luck we’ve had comes from.”

Buurma said he and his company have made serious mistakes, but they’ve been able to move forward by admitting those mistakes and making them right.

That’s why, over the years, they’ve never lost a dealer, he added.

He said the Russian business involves a considerable amount of paperwork. When the company approached Russian buyers sales began slowly but have since picked up.

Buurma recently visited the Russia and described Moscow as a clean and aggressive city. He said the media picture that sometimes drawn may not be accurate.

“The Russians are a passionate, passionate people. They think (president Vladimir) Putin is the best thing that’s ever happened to them.”

Buurma said electricity costs are a major challenge for his company and linked recent rate increases to the proliferation of wind turbines in Ontario.

On a positive note, he described the current level of the Canadian dollar as a “beautiful thing.” Equipment sold to Russian, Australia and the United States are all paid for in U.S. funds.

Buurma said he takes advantage of government programs and has an arrangement with an accountant who, for a small percentage, evaluates and helps access government supports.

Buurma spoke in St. Thomas, a community with a population of 38,000, facing economic challenges, including the loss of large manufacturing plants.

Stuart Trew with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Jennifer Chestnut, a volunteer with the London chapter of the Council of Canadians, said those losses can be linked to the Free Trade Agreement that Canada signed with the U.S. in 1989 and the North American Free Trade Agreement that was signed in 1994.

The agreements tend to push production to low cost locations while giving little consideration to environmental and social concerns, Trew and Chestnut said.

They cited statistics showing a widening income gap between the economic elite and middle class and the concentration of wealth among the big corporations since the agreements were introduced.

Rather than improving Canada’s trade balance, there’s been deterioration, they added.

Future deals with Europe and through the Trans-Pacific Partnership talks threaten to worsen the situation.

McDonald’s announcement last week that it will eventually use only cage-free eggs in its U.S. and Canadian restaurants will be no different.

“McDonald’s is one of our customers, but we still have many customers that want the classic white egg that’s produced in an enriched housing or a conventional housing system,” said Audrey Price, executive director of Saskatchewan Egg Producers.

McDonald’s buys about two billion eggs a year for its American operations and 120 million eggs in Canada.

Provincial standards in Saskatchewan have not allowed for conventional cage systems to be installed since Jan. 1, 2015. Poultry barns are now built with either an aviary or an on-the-floor system.

In aviary systems, chickens are still kept in cages but they have larger enclosures with different levels and nest boxes so that they can walk around and spread their wings.

“Every consumer change impacts what a producer does and what they decide on,” Price said. “(The McDonald’s announcement) will be one more element that (producers will) have to weigh if they’re looking to change their housing system.”

Price said 85 to 90 percent of poultry farmers in Saskatchewan still use conventional systems.

Margaret Hudson, president of Burnbrae Farms in Ontario, has supplied McDonald’s with eggs for more than 30 years. For the last 17 years, her operation has used both cage-free and conventional systems to fulfill demands. “(McDonald’s has) clearly made this decision because they’ve spoken with their customer community and they believe that that’s what they want,” Hudson said.

The animal welfare community sees McDonald’s announcement as a step forward for the food production industry.

“McDonald’s is really leading the way here,” said Sayara Thurston, campaign manager with the Human Society International/Canada.

“This is a movement that was definitely already in swing, but McDonald’s is obviously a huge

player that this will definitely have ramifications for other companies in Canada.”

McDonald’s announcement follows a earlier one in March that it its U.S. restaurants will stop using chicken raised with certain kinds of antibiotics over the next two years. ashley.robinson@producer.com

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Training paramount to saving lives Ag for Life session offers first responders training in extrication and disentanglement from farm equipment

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

DEWINTON, Alta. — Pat MacIsaac and Neal Rowan of the fire department in Okotoks, Alta., have seen their share of farm accidents.

They have responded to tractor rollovers, auger entanglements, pesticide poisoning and electrocutions from equipment contact with power lines.

Every scenario is different, which is why they and eight other firefighters and first responders from the Foothills and Okotoks fire departments trained in farm and rural rescue Sept. 10.

Lynn Roberts is no stranger to farm accidents either. The 25 year veteran firefighter has been training other responders since 2002.

Roberts operates Roberts Safety Ltd. in Olds, Alta., and is a certified health and safety auditor.

“We don’t train enough with farm equipment, and statistically in Alberta, we have around 15 to 20 people every year killed in farmrelated accidents,” said Roberts.

He instructs others using a program called Farmedic, which was developed by Cornell University especially for farm accident training.

“I was raised on a farm so I know about farm equipment. I’ve been a firefighter for 25 years and an EMT for about 20, and I’ve gone to a lot of these scenarios, so I’ve lived it, if that’s the right term. I haven’t enjoyed it, but I’ve lived it.”

The training event was sponsored

by Ag for Life, an Alberta charity focused on farm safety.

“Our goal is to drastically reduce the number of injuries and fatalities that happen on Alberta farms,” said Ag for Life chief executive officer Luree Williamson.

“We know when the unthinkable does happen, seconds count. And for a lot of first responders arriving on scene, to be able to have had some hands-on experience … that reduces those seconds.”

The training session in Dewinton was the pilot for the program, and Williamson said she anticipates Ag for Life will offer three or four sessions per year in the province.

There is no charge for the training. Costs are covered by Ag for Life sponsors.

The session allowed course participants to extricate a mock victim from an auger, remove a person from beneath a tractor and disentangle one from a simulated power take-off accident.

Roberts said the rescue scenarios are dictated to some extent by the

type of equipment donated for the purpose, all of which is old.

However, participants also visited a farm equipment dealership as part of the course so they could examine modern machinery and discuss how rescues could be handled.

Rowan said the course is useful.

“I think it just reinforces that there’s so much variety of equipment … and that it can change over the years, and it just shows us that

we need to make sure that we do the specialized training more often,” said Rowan.

MacIsaac said the best thing farmers can do to avoid meeting first responders at an accident is to maintain situational awareness.

“Make sure you’re doing good risk assessments before you move any piece of machinery or tackle a job. Make sure you’re taking the worst case scenario into account.”

Roberts agreed, saying the number of farm fatalities in Alberta has remained fairly stable, at 15 to 20 per year, for the last several years.

There are fewer than there used to be, but obviously there is room for improvement.

“One of the biggest things is talk about safety on your farm,” said Roberts.

“Do hazard assessments. Assess what’s safe and what’s not safe.

There’s lots of literature out there. A

farm can be a safe place as long as the family decides that safety is important.” barb.glen@producer.com

Saskatchewan Angus Association recognizes operation for contributions to the industry

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

PEEBLES, Sask. — It took a STARS helicopter landing in the yard to bring home the farm safety message to the Johnsons this year.

Brielle, the teenaged daughter of Andrew and Laurie Johnson, was driving an all-terrain vehicle when it collided with a silage truck at a treed intersection in the family’s farmyard near Peebles.

She suffered a concussion and was airlifted to hospital, while her riding companion had a ruptured spleen.

“Having an accident makes you more conscious of how quickly an accident can happen,” said Brielle’s grandfather, David, who helps Andrew and Laurie operate the family farm with his wife, Anne.

He quoted the often used phrase: “Safety, don’t learn it by accident.”

Andrew agreed.

“It’s something you’ve got to talk about every day,” he said.

Anne said the family recently developed farm safety protocols for themselves and their farm workers to help avoid accidents stemming from construction of a new house for Andrew and Laurie and their four girls and a new barn for their annual bull and female sale.

“If the family sees something not

safe, tell others,” she said.

Laurie said the goal is to keep children safe while enjoying the farm work and lifestyle.

“We don’t want to wrap them in bubble wrap,” she said, noting how Brielle, Maya, Desta and Indy are an integral part of their purebred Angus operation.

Norwegian immigrants Yorgen and Anna Yonson (original spelling) homesteaded here at the beginning of the 20th century, lured by the promise of good winters and free land. They had eight children, including Henry, David’s father.

David and Anne raised four children here and operated a dairy operation and later a feedlot before realizing upgrades were needed.

“We needed to make a commitment for the children, not just ourselves,” said Anne, who noted her other children are not involved in the farm.

Today, the operation includes 5,000 acres of hayland, cereals and pasture and 600 head of purebred Black Angus cattle, which calve in January, April and September.

They began buying and breeding after the BSE crisis hit, building a herd strong on eye appeal, temperament, production, fertility and frame.

Their work has been rewarded

ON THE FARM

THE JOHNSON FAMILY Peebles, Sask. with accolades such as the Saskatchewan Angus Association’s purebred breeder of the year in 2012.

This year, good moisture reserves carried them through the growing season, producing yields that were 80 percent of normal. More rain in late summer made a third cut of hay possible.

They normally leave a field in hay for four to five years, feeling it gives them more production. They will grow grass for two years and then put it back to hay.

The family puts alfalfa into silage in July.

They keep smaller groups of ani-

mals together to minimize disease transfer and allow for a better pecking order in the herd.

The animals are medicated from afar using rifles.

“You can do 10 animals in 10 minutes,” said Andrew.

Good cattle prices make it a good time to invest in the operation.

All agree it’s important to keep evolving and upgrading. Andrew looks to the future and dreams of technologies such as drones and GPS chips in ear tags to locate animals.

“From my computer, I’ll know where every animal is,” he said.

“If you’re not constantly improving or working on what’s working, it’ll be a short time and you’re out,” said Andrew.

“On the farm, unless you’re improving every year, you probably will be left behind.”

He and Laurie handle cattle registration, bookkeeping and marketing for Johnson Livestock.

They also promote the industry and Laurie’s photography business through their blogs at www.johnson-livestock.com and www. laurieannphotography.com.

David does field work and night checks at calving and ensures that

the cow-calf pairs stay together, while Anne oversees hospitality for the sale.

The children help sort the animals at sales and during processing.

The youngest Johnson in cowboy boots rides along with the family this day to check cows, something Andrew said is important.

“I would love to farm with one or all my children. Unless they’re involved today, they probably will not be there later,” he said.

Laurie and Andrew, who met at a Christian convention and married in their late teens, take family trips and enjoy their horses and sloughside zip line.

Family and full and part-time workers allow David to get away for duties as a director with the Saskatchewan and Canadian Angus associations.

They also enabled Laurie and Andrew to travel to Ethiopia to adopt Desta when she was a toddler.

David and Anne have not yet started succession planing for the farm but want to lessen their involvement in the near future. karen.morrison@producer.com

MOTORISTS REMINDED OF SCHOOL BUS SAFETY Following too closely is the most common error involving collisions

with school buses, reports Alberta Transportation.

Every day during the school year, more than 6,000 school buses in Alberta transport almost 300,000 children to and from school, travelling an estimated 450,000 kilometres a day.

Motorists play an important role in back to school safety. They need to be alert and use extra caution in school zones and near school buses and playgrounds. Students also should know basic traffic safety rules.

More than 70 percent of casualty collisions and nearly 90 percent of property damage collisions involving a school bus occur in urban areas.

GM CROPS, FOOD

Is genetically modified food healthy?

HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

GM food can protect against certain diseases

Q:

With all that has been said or written about genetically modified food and crops, are they harmful or helpful to a person’s health?

A:

This is a controversial topic, with imports of GM food being banned in some European countries. Political parties in Canada have jumped on the bandwagon, trying to get companies to label foods to give people a choice about what they are buying.

One problem with labelling is that it increases costs that will be passed on to the consumer. Many

companies that use these foods will probably be less able to sell their product and farmers will suffer proportionally.

Another factor is that there are so many different types of GM products that the labels would be longwinded.

There is no medical evidence of any illness being a result of livestock or people consuming GM food, except a possible slight increase in individuals who already have a problem with food allergies.

The general population does not have a good scientific knowledge of genetics and how this food is modified. Genes are made up of DNA and only tiny parts of a DNA strand are inserted into the host plant.

There has been talk of “Franken foods.” Most DNA fragments are not from another species such as a mouse, spider or earthworm, but even if they were, they would not cause the food or crop to have any features remotely associated with these creatures.

If anything, GM food will protect against certain diseases such as

vitamin A deficiency prevalent through malnutrition in some African countries. Vitamin A deficiency is one of the leading causes of blindness there. Golden Rice, which has extra vitamin A, has not yet been approved for human consumption and GM sweet potatoes that are both pest resistant and high in vitamin A are currently being tested in Kenya.

German researchers analyzed 147 original agronomic studies dealing with pesticide applications on biotech crops.

“On average, GM technology has increased crop yields by 21 percent,” they reported.

“These yield increases are not due to higher genetic yield potential, but to more effective pest control and thus lower crop damage. At the same time, GM crops have reduced pesticide quantity by 37 percent.”

This study debunked earlier claims that GM varieties resulted in a greater use of pesticides.

T

hank you for sharing your many picnic memories and recipes. The common elements were simple foods shared with family and friends eaten outdoors in a wooded or scenic location, offering a time to relax, explore and create memories to last for generations.

Phyllis Cunningham of Speers, Sask., shared an entry from her grandmother’s diary, dated Sept.

14, 1935, when the family had “a wiener and corn roast with ice cream, tomatoes, pie, cakes, tarts, watermelon and muskmelon.”

Her family’s favourite picnic place is the North Saskatchewan River east of the Maymont Bridge, where they have been going for years to fish, hike, skip stones, pick berries and enjoy a meal.

She included some photos of her as a five-year-old in a dress at picnics in the 1930s, with the men wearing ties and vests.

Bill Romanowski recalled picnics eaten in a bluff at the end of the pasture. Fresh garden cucumbers, carrots and tomatoes along with egg salad, ham, cheese and lettuce, bologna and mustard or peanut butter and jam sandwiches were the usual fare. Watermelon, strawberries or apples were included for dessert with ice cold water for a beverage.

Violett Burant of Melville, Sask., remembered keeping water in jars when travelling with horses. They

would drink cold tea and coffee and bring boiled eggs, along with buns, cheese, fruit, grapes, watermelon and ginger snap cookies.

There was chilled juice for the kids and more recently, no calorie beer.

Blaine Lake, Sask.’s Marlene Szwydky has picnic memories from wagon treks. More than 100 people from across Saskatchewan participated in 32-kilometre treks daily this year, exploring back roads, pastures and the riverbank. Many of the same people have been doing this weeklong trek since 1993. They share food ranging from sandwiches, fruit and vegetables to cookies and coffee.

Dennis and Betty Turner, farmers from Killarney, Man., kicked their picnic up a notch not only in location but in the picnic basket contents. They love to hike up the Turtle’s Back in the Turtle Mountains.

“It is a short hike through beautiful prairie pastures, past sloughs full of waterfowl and then up the Turtle’s Back along the wooded trails.

“The view at the top is worth it all.

A climb up a fire tower provides a view for miles above the treetops all the way to the U.S. border. … We feel on top of the world.

“Dennis makes wine so we had a bottle of wine, glasses, cheese and crackers, goat cheese and hot pepper jelly to add to the crackers, as well as carrot and celery sticks. …

We sat and just enjoyed the view and each other’s company. Took a selfie of ourselves at the top with the sun setting and then headed back down.”

Vicki Juve of Kelvington, Sask., was the winner of the picnic hamper draw. She shared one of her favourite and most versatile picnic salad recipes. This salad is also included in the har vest meal menu.

GRAIN TRANSPORTATION

Churchill railway seeks subsidy extension The grain transportation subsidy was introduced in 2012 to bolster shipments through the port; it’s set to expire in 2017

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The feasibility of operating a railway in northern Manitoba may need to be re-evaluated unless senior levels of government offer ongoing financial assistance, says the top executive with OmniTrax Canada.

OTC president Merv Tweed said he is optimistic about his company’s prospects in northern Manitoba.

However, the expiry of a $9 per tonne grain shipping subsidy in 2017 will have a significant impact on the company’s operations, he added.

OmniTrax ow ns the Por t of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Railway, which originates in The Pas, Man., about 1,000 kilometres away.

“I think it means we have to reevaluate our position up there and make a decision as we go forward,” said Tweed.

“I’m convinced that the Port of Churchill is important enough to senior levels of government that a subsidy or some form of help will be provided.”

In 2012, the federal government approved a five-year $25 million shipping subsidy known as the Port

OmniTrax Canada says losing the $9 per tonne subsidy would force it to re-evaluate its involvement with the northern port. | FILE PHOTO of Churchill Utilization Program (CPUP).

At the time, Ottawa was preparing to end the single-desk marketing mandate of the Canadian Wheat Board, the port’s most important grain shipper.

The CPUP was intended to bolster grain movements through the

northern port in the post singledesk era by offering a $9 per tonne subsidy on every tonne of grain shipped through Churchill.

Tweed said OmniTrax Canada has expressed concerns to government over the looming expiration of the subsidy.

The company seeks an assurance

that government assistance may be extended beyond the program deadline.

“We’re preparing a document to release to the (political) parties that would show support for the Port of Churchill and what it means to not only Manitobans but also to Canadians,” Tweed said.

“We have to remind people that yes, we do ship grain up there but the reality is that we also service many northern communities along the railway line and if there’s no grain to move into Churchill, then it certainly makes it more difficult to service those communities.”

The 2015 shipping season has been challenging for OmniTrax Canada.

Last week, the first grain ship of the season began loading at the port.

In a normal year, the first grain ships arrive in early August.

Tweed said OmniTrax Canada was hoping to ship about 500,000 tonnes of grain this year but delays have shortened the shipping window by several weeks.

“It (the arrival of the first grain ship) is later than usual,” Tweed said. “The challenge this year is just the fact that the crop last year was sold off and there wasn’t a lot of product to move early in the season.”

“The outlook is still positive,” he added. “Obviously this year, we’ve had a challenge with grain supply but we’re positive. It can work and I think because of the ancillary benefits to the communities along the line, it has to work.” brian.cross@producer.com

FEDERAL ELECTION

Ont. rural vote hard to measure Rural ridings have traditionally been won by Conservative candidates, but it’s uncertain if the same results can be expected this time

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

O-66-08/15-10406655-E

Results from last year’s Ontario election illustrate an obvious trend when put on a map. Every seat in and around Toronto was Liberal red and nearly every seat in rural southern Ontario was Tory blue.

The urban-rural fault line may have been clear-cut in the provincial election, but Ontario results could be more complicated in the Oct. 19 federal election, says a Western University political scientist.

“Rural Ontario — that label captures many different groups in many different regions,” said Cristine de Clercy.

“There are some ‘rural’ ridings that may swing away from their traditional party (in this election).”

The results from the 2011 federal election are similar to the 2014 provincial election in Ontario: a small patch of red and orange in cities and a continuous swath of blue outside urban areas.

D e C l e rc y , w h o g re w u p i n Saskatchewan, said certain ridings o u t s i d e o f To r o n t o r e m a i n extremely safe for the Tories. Yet, other seats could be in play because people in small cities and towns are frustrated by the state of the economy and the loss of manufacturing jobs.

“There are places like ChathamKent-Leamington, which is arguably a rural riding but it has a fair amount of manufacturing,” De Clercy said Heinz closed its ketchup plant in Leamington last year and hundreds of locals lost their jobs.

“The Leamington area has really been hurt by the out-migration of manufacturing and the (loss) of manufacturing linked to agricultural producers,” De Clercy said.

“Those people may not be happy, and unhappy voters, generally, are tough on incumbents.”

John Wright, senior vice-president with Ipsos, a market research and polling firm, isn’t convinced that rural Ontarians will abandon the Tories.

Ipsos released a poll Sept. 9 that showed the Liberals and Conservatives basically tied in Ontario: 36 percent for the Grits and 35 percent for the Tories.

However, those figures don’t tell the entire story. Polls suggest the urban-rural split is real, and Wright said rural Ontario residents strongly support the Conservatives while urban voters back the Liberals and NDP. “Nothing is going to change in rural Ontario,” he said. “(And) in the urban core, Toronto, London and Hamilton, the Tories are nowhere in those cities.”

Wright said the ridings around Toronto, in the 905 area code, will

CRISTINE DE CLERCY WESTERN UNIVERSITY

be the battleground in this election.

“In the last election, the Tories won all of those seats. Right now they’re still in play.”

Wright said rural voters continue to support the Conser vatives because local politicians are well known and popular. The familiarity transcends larger issues such as the economy and political scandals.

“The candidates, themselves, pull a lot of weight…. They (voters) are very loyal to their members,” Wright said. “(And) the other two parties haven’t been able to offer a compelling reason for a lot of people to switch their votes. They tend to be social conservatives and … the privacy and ownership of land in those areas means a lot to people.”

De Clercy said the hostile relationship between Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne and prime minister Stephen Harper could influence the final outcome.

“What has made this election quite unusual … has been the personal animosity between Mr. Harper and Ms. Wynne,” De Clercy said.

“I’m interested to know (if ) her active campaigning for the federal Liberals is really going to move many votes, or, on the converse side, push votes away from the Liberal party.”

A number of agricultural groups have been highly critical of the Wynne government, including Grain Farmers of Ontario.

Earlier this year, the farm group said the Ontario government’s new pesticide regulations, which restrict the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments in corn and soybeans, represents an “attack” on modern agriculture.

De Clercy said some Ontario producers may dislike Wynne, but that doesn’t mean that every farmer in the province will vote Conservative Oct. 19.

“The agriculture community spans several different groups,” she said.

“It’s a bit simplistic to argue that the whole agricultural community in Ontario is deeply, deeply antiKathleen Wynne and as a consequence of that will be deeply against … anyone who she endorses.” robert.arnason@producer.com

FIREARM SUPPORT

Tripod offers good design, multiple uses OUTDOOR PURSUITS

KIM QUINTIN

The Primos Jim Shockey Tall Tripod is good value for the money. | KIM QUINTIN PHOTO

T

he Primos Jim Shockey Tall Tripod is primarily a mobile rest for the forestock of fire-

arms.

A trigger lock mounted at the top of the unit allows the operator to

adjust to any elevation from 24 to 62 inches. The legs may be deployed as a monopod, bipod or tripod.

The tripod was originally designed as a quick-deploy shooting support while in the field, but it can also be used as a light-duty walking stick and gear hook when stationary.

The yoke, handle, trigger lock and hinge frames are made from synthetic materials with quality feel.

The telescopic legs are made from aluminum and operate independently from one another.

They are capped with thick rubber feet that get good traction on most surfaces and are quiet when

making height adjustments.

Operators may secure the tripod to their wrists with the handle strap.

A rubber strap may be used to keep the feet together to minimize noise while moving.

The yoke’s angle and height are easily adjusted one-handed once the feet are spaced apart, thanks to the placement of the trigger lock.

I was particularly impressed with deployment speed and the solid support that the tripod provides on uneven ground. It was comfortable and easy to use from kneeling, chair seated and standing positions.

operated without problems, even in freezing conditions.

The tripod also has secondary uses: • It may be used as a walking stick, but it would be unwise to overburden the aluminum with too much weight.

• The rubber feet make an excellent way to deploy chemical attractants on the ground to easily establish a scent trail while walking.

• While stationary in a ground blind, the yoke and handle strap can be used to hang lightweight hunting items such as binoculars and game calls without impairing shooting support.

• The removable yoke reveals a standard screw for mounting optics such as a camera or spotting scope. I found the optic mount to be particularly useful as a spotting scope at the shooting range for a solid shot placement observation platform.

I was hard pressed to find many flaws in the tripod’s design and execution. Using support sticks is slower than off-hand shooting, but the accuracy gain should be seriously considered for certain shooting conditions.

One must be careful when the temperature falls below -15 C because the internal trigger mechanism does not seem to be engineered for anything colder. Deploying the tripod in a ground blind in these temperatures seems fine, but using it as a walking stick will likely cause it to permanently malfunction.

The tripod costs about $190, but you are definitely getting what you pay for in comparison to similar products on the market.

ALLEGED CORRUPTION

Egyptian ag minister resigns

877-398-6164 • etsprayers.com

C A I R O, E g y p t ( R e u t e r s ) — Egypt’s agriculture minister resigned Sept. 7 and was arrested on suspicion of corruption shortly after leaving the cabinet building.

“He was arrested in connection with a corruption case involving illegal land licences,” a security official said.

“He is under investigation.”

The minister, Salah El Din Mahmoud Helal, could not immediately be reached for comment, but the prime minister’s office said his resignation had been accepted on the instructions of president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

The prosecutor general’s office said it was investigating ministry officials, including Helal, on suspicion of taking bribes in exchange for granting land licences.

An unnamed source close to the situation said Helal wasn’t taking full charge of the ministry, and decisions were often at odds with other ministries like the trade and industry.

AFRICAN AGRONOMY

Farmers find new crops to combat drought Switch from corn to sorghum and millet was challenging for farmers in Zimbabwe because of crop’s cultural importance JAMBEZI, Zimbabwe, (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — For more than 20 years, Dalarex Ncube grew maize in arid Jambezi District, one of Zimbabwe’s driest regions, and his family ate corn porridge, the national staple.

But seven years ago, he began switching to growing sorghum and millet, both more tolerant of drought, for food and to sell.

At first, the switch wasn’t easy for his children, who “hated it”, he remembers. But “my children now enjoy the mealie-meal (porridge) from sorghum more than maize ... because I have told them about the nutritive value of sorghum”, he said in an interview.

In a country where isitshwala (thick maize porridge) is ingrained in the national eating habits, Jambezi farmers are changing tack.

They are growing alternative grain for food, cash and to improve their resilience to harsher weather conditions that have made maize, also known as corn, an increasingly risky crop.

Martin Moyo, an agronomist for the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), says the switch can help ensure farmers have food to eat as drought cuts into maize harvests,

particularly if they also adopt climate-smart agricultural techniques such as planting into holes that hold water and practicing crop rotation.

Moyo says changing climatic conditions, including frequent droughts, shifts in the times when rainfall starts and ends, and long mid-season dry spells, have made growing maize in arid regions like Zimbabwe’s Matabeleland North province an increasing risk.

But hardy crops such as sorghum and millet are more suited to these conditions and can produce at least a small harvest even with much less rainfall than maize needs, he said. Zimbabwe’s Meteorological Services Department has begun encouraging farmers to consider planting such grains as an alternative to maize when rainfall shortfalls are expected.

In good conditions, Zimbabwe’s staple maize can produce more than three tonnes of grain per acre in semi-arid areas, far more than the 1.25 tonnes per acre possible with improved varieties of sorghum and pearl millet, Moyo said.

But in bad years, sorghum and millet will produce some harvest while maize can fail, one reason the alternative grains are being promoted in some regions of Zimba-

I switched to growing sorghum because it never lets you down even during a bad season.

AUGUSTINE SIBANDA ZIMBABWE FARMER

bwe, he said.

Despite their lower yields, the alternative grains are gaining fans in drought-hit Jambezi District in southern Zimbabwe.

Small-scale farmers Catherine Sibanda and her husband, Augustine, are this season expecting a bumper sorghum and pearl millet crop. They hope to harvest 1.5 tonnes of the grains, nearly three times the average 160-200 kilograms of sorghum per acre farmers usually get.

The bumper harvest is the result of the family’s efforts to adapt to changing conditions, including using improved seed varieties and keeping careful track of rainfall.

“I use a rain gauge to keep a record of the rainfall pattern in my area and know when to plant once there has been sufficient rains,” Augustine Sibanda said during a

walk through his farm. “In this way I minimize the risk of a poor yield.”

“I switched to growing sorghum because it never lets you down even during a bad season,” said Sibanda, who has been growing sorghum for seven years.

“While sorghum yields are generally lower than those of maize, you never go hungry because in a bad season maize fails completely and you can harvest sorghum,” he said.

A severe drought in Zimbabwe this year has halved the expected production of 742,000 tonnes of the staple maize, leaving 1. 5 million Zimbabweans at risk of hunger, according to a World Food Program statement.

The drought, in part, is also behind the International Monetary Fund’s decision to revise its forecast for Zimbabwe’s growth in 2015 from 2.8 percent to 1.5 percent.

Southern Africa generally this year has experienced a sharp decline in cereal production, especially of the staple maize, as a result of region-wide poor rains and drought, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization warned in its quarterly Crop Prospects and Food Situation report.

Crops of sorghum and millet also have been hit by drought in many

places that do not yet have access to more resilient varieties, experts said.

Still, farmers see a future in Zimbabwe for sorghum and other small grains.

After harvesting more than 10 tonnes of sorghum in Jambezi District in 2014, but with few markets to sell the crop, farmers banded together to form the Jambezi Sorghum Producers (JASPRO). Members have bought de-hulling and grinding machines to allow them to produce and package their own sorghum and millet flour.

Ncube, who chairs JASPRO, said farmers now expect this year to sell more than six tonnes of sorghum flour to markets in Bulawayo, the nearest large city, and the resort town of Victoria Falls.

In an effort to boost demand for alternative crops, Zimbabwe’s government has also set the government purchase price for sorghum and millet at a par with maize. The government buys most of the grain sold in the country through its grain marketing board.

Zimbabwe, a net food importer, is expected to spend more than US$300 million in 2015 to import more than 700,000 tonnes of grain, Emmerson Mnangagwa, the country’s vice president, said in June.

Celtic Blue wins cream of the crop Judges gave Glengarry Fine Cheese a perfect score for Best in Show

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Celtic Blue Reserve, produced by Glengarry Fine Cheese in Lancaster, Ont., won Best of Show in the American Cheese Society competition. | MISA ME PHOTOGRAPHY

When Margaret Peters Morris picked her Celtic Blue Reserve to compete at the American Cheese Society Awards last month, she knew she had a winning cheese because it had won previous competitions.

But to win Best in Show meant it had to score better and compete with other cheese categories.

It emerged a winner out of 1,779

entries in 109 categories.

This was the first time a Canadian cheese had ever been selected best in show in the 30 year history of the competition.

Peters Morris is more than your typical artisan cheese maker. She has also designed a business that teaches other artisan cheese makers how to do better alongside her own cheese making: in a sense, learning with them.

“In 1995, I started the Glengarry Cheese Making, which is a supply

company for farmsteads, artisans, specialty cheese makers, and hobbyists,” she said.

“It started with training and support of equipment for various groups in the dairy industry. And then, through the years, we developed cheese recipes for our customers as well.”

In 2008, she developed her own cheese making business: Glengarry Fine Cheese. This was part of Peters Morris’s long-term plan to get into the processing sector in Ontario because the market for specialty cheese was always inviting more players.

Peters Morris makes 12 varieties but is always open to developing more.

“But we do it on our schedule,” she said.

“Isn’t it good enough, what we have? That’s what we do. We take something and we try to make it as good as we possibly can.”

She began with a Gouda-style cheese named Lankaaster.

“This one is based on a Dutch traditional Gouda recipe and we have the name Lankaaster to kind of differentiate the fact that it is a cheese and it’s from the region of Lancaster, Ont., and Cas (spelled Kaas in Dutch) is the root in the word, which comes from the Dutch word for cheese,” said Peters Morris.

“We make that in a medium, an aged, an extra aged and in flavoured varieties. Then we make a family of cheese called ‘wash rind’ and have another hard cheese that’s a lot like a cheddar, called Glengarry Fen, and have a bloomy rind called Figaro.

“Then we make a family of blue cheeses. We make our traditional Celtic Blue, the Aged Celtic, and the one that won the competition, the Celtic Blue Reserve.”

All the cheeses are made from single herd milk. The milk is not even fully chilled by the time it comes in, which is the way she wants it, as fresh as can be.

She also starts making the cheese right away. The goat milk comes from just outside the north end of the county, and the cow milk is the next concession over, not even four kilometres from the plant.

After entering in 2011 and picking up first prize for her Lankaaster and third prize for the Celtic Blue, she returned again this year.

The Celtic Blue Reserve took it all (best in show) with the traditional Celtic Blue coming in third in the same class.

“To get best in show, you need a perfect mark,” said Peters Morris.

“You are in a round of competition with other cheeses for the best in show, but it’s also based on the number of points it was awarded for its first place finish.”

The next cheese to hit the completion circuit will be the washed rind cheeses.

“We have one that we think is coming up very well because it’s scoring over 94 or 95,” said Peters Morris.

“It’s ready to compete.”

Ontario farmer John Langs used his GPS to express his opposition to prime minister Stephen Harper’s handling of the country. |

GEOFF GRENVILLE/KALLOON PHOTOGRAPHY

BIG BILLBOARD

Farmer’s political view seen from above Former Agriculture Canada civil servant says Stephen Harper showed a talent for racking up Canada’s debt

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A farmer from east of Brantford, Ont., has found a way to raise the profile of agriculture in the federal election.

“The rye was off and I had worked up the field on the east side and

thought, ‘let’s have some fun with this,’ ” John Langs said.

Langs, who farms approximately 350 acres, used his tractor and disk to spell, “anybody but Harper!!” in 300-foot letters on a 45 acre field near his home.

He used lines left in the stubble by his GPS-guided combine to create

straight and easy to read text for people flying in an airplane above his field.

“Some people have called it artistic talent. I just consider it … lucky.

Call me a tractor and disk artist, then,” Langs said when asked how he created the letters with curves.

Langs is retired from his career

with Agriculture Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, but he remains passionate about agriculture issues.

“I was a career civil servant as well as a farmer. I have not trusted or cared for Mr. Harper from the day he appeared on the political scene. I think he’s the worst prime minister

we’ve ever had,” Langs said.

“He’s campaigning heavily on his economic record, but if you look at things like deficit year over year and accumulated debt, I think he’s about the second worst prime minister in terms of accumulating debt in the history of Canada, only after Brian Mulroney.”

ANIMAL WELFARE

Guns may be best method of livestock euthanasia

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Good animal welfare includes knowing when and how to euthanize when the situation warrants.

Jan Shearer, a professor at Iowa State University, said ensuring humane death is part of providing proper livestock care and stewardship.

“It’s part of our responsibilities, moral responsibility to animals,” said Shearer. “We need to be sure we assure them a humane death when that time comes.”

Animal illness or injury inevitably occur and sometimes the pain or misery cannot be controlled.

“We don’t have the means to control extreme pain as we would like in animals,” said Shearer. “As a result, the only option to relieve their discomfor t and pain is through euthanasia.”

Animals do not always present obvious signs of distress. Cattle and other prey animals suffer in silence as an evolved protective measure.

“If you step on a dog’s foot, it will bark and maybe strike back,” said

JAN SHEARER IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR

Shearer. “If you cause harm to a cow, it simply tries to move away.

Part of the problem with animals is people often misinterpret their behaviour and often will miss situations where they are suffering a great deal or the pain is quite severe, but because of the stoic nature of prey animals, it’s often misinterpreted or not understood.”

Shearer tries to help people understand that animals cannot consider that a situation might one day improve.

“They just live in the moment. So, when they have extreme suffering or pain, that’s all they can actually

process at that point. The reality is, the best thing for them in those situations where we know we cannot intervene on their behalf, is to reduce the pain and suffering.

“With anything medical, we need to apply something that will induce death much more humanely.”

The cost of euthanasia can be high, depending on method.

If the animal can be transported without greater distress or pain, and has no drug residue or other condition that might risk human health, hauling it to slaughter is best.

Others should be euthanized on the farm.

“Often times, people will see euthanasia by overdose of an anaesthetic as a more desirable way to euthanize an animal. However, the use of a drug is problematic for many reasons.

“Number one, it requires that you restrain the animal and that the animal endure a needle stick into its vein. Both of those things are not especially traumatic except in those animals where they are not comfortable with human contact to start with.”

There are other drawbacks to that method, including the cost of $60 to $100 per head. Only a vet can perform the procedure and disposal of the carcass may be difficult because it would contain drug residue.

Shooting the animal may be quickest and best.

“Death with a firearm is immediate when the shot is properly placed,” said Shearer.

“It meets the requirements that we have for euthanasia, which is to induce an immediate loss of consciousness that is followed by cardiac arrest and death.

“It’s probably the most common method applied on farms. If we have the right firearm, the right type of bullet and the aim is correct so that we place that bullet in the right spot, it’s probably one of the quickest and most humane methods of euthanasia.”

Shearer offered general guidelines: • Rifles should be .22 calibre or more. Although 22-long rifles are frequently used, they are below the power needed for consistent euthanasia, particularly in adult cattle.

• If the calibre is too high, there is an increased risk of the bullet exiting the skull, endangering bystanders.

• Shotguns from 410 to 12 gage are an option. The 410 and 28 are recommended for younger animals, and 12, 16, or 20 gauge shotguns for adult cows. When using shells, stay within two metres of the animal to ensure proper placement of the shot.

“We’d recommend that people use a solid point bullet as opposed to a hollow point,” said Shearer.

“Hollow points tend to fragment on impact and, as a consequence, may not consistently penetrate as much as needed.”

Consult a veterinarian vet if help is desired.

“I think that veterinarians should be ready and willing to assist their clients with euthanasia duties, recognizing that it may be very difficult for an owner to euthanize their own animals,” he said. “As well, veterinarians should be knowledgeable about not only how to apply the procedure, but also in confirming unconsciousness and death.”

ENVIRONMENT

Farmers want action taken on Suffield elk Wild herds move off the military base in southern Alberta to damage crops and pastures; sunflower crop latest victim

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It has been proven: elk like sunflowers.

Andy Kirschenman, who farms near Hilda, Alta., is the unfortunate farmer who confirmed that fact.

Last week, he found about 25 acres of sunflowers decapitated and consumed by elk that live on nearby Canadian Forces Base Suffield in southeastern Alberta. The animals regularly venture off the 2,700 sq. kilometre base to taste the delicacies inadvertently offered by farmers and ranchers in the region.

“They must like sunflowers,” said Kirschenman after noting the damage Sept. 8.

“We’ve seen them in there. We actually had some hunters drop by today. The season opens tomorrow, and they mentioned that they (the elk) were in there today, too.”

He has 500 acres of sunflowers, all destined for the birdseed market, so elk didn’t destroy the entire crop.

“From what we can tell, there will be payment through crop insurance … but before the base decided that the horses had to come out and the elk had to go in, nobody had any elk trouble,” said Kirschenman.

The Suffield elk herd began with the introduction of 200 animals in the 1990s. They replaced feral horses that once roamed the same area. Mild winters, no natural predators and restricted hunter access on the army base have helped the herd grow to an estimated 9,000 animals.

Area farmers and ranchers have requested for years that the herd be controlled, but potential action has been complicated by politics involving municipal, provincial and federal governments. There is also the added challenge of army base activities and security needs.

However, Kirschenman thinks there’s hope for action.

“It’s been recognized, but now it’s still the question of how many have to be taken out, what’s the best way of doing that, what’s the best way to manage this population.”

Brad Osadczuk, a rancher from Jenner, Alta., who is also a councillor for Special Area 2, isn’t so sure the various governments, including Alberta’s NDP, are getting the message.

“I had a pretty good feeling last fall that we were gaining some ground, but then with the change in the government, the whole thing has shifted again. It just seems like

Farmers are becoming increasingly exasperated with elk that originate on a military base in southern Alberta. | FILE PHOTO its never ending,” he said.

“We need to get control of the herd.”

Osadczuk, who is involved in the local community pasture, said recent changes in elk herd behaviour on grazing land are a concern.

“There’s some pretty big cow (elk) herds that calve off the base in the springtime and we’ve never really

seen that before,” he said.

“That’s worrisome because if they calve out there, then they’re going to probably spend more time out there, and then their calves are going to spend more time out there.

They just get more and more comfortable.”

Southeastern Alberta is typically dry, and Osadczuk said he is worried about future grazing pressure

from the elk, as well as competition for available water.

The province has issued more elk hunting tags for the region in the last several years, and the army base has allowed greater access to its property. However, Osadczuk said the number of elk hunted is far less than the annual population growth.

Increased hunting is not enough of a solution, said Cypress-Medicine Hat Wildrose ML A Drew Barnes, who met with Suffield base commander lt.-col. John Scott Sept. 9 to discuss the problem.

“The commander is very aware of it, very willing to help,” said Barnes.

“He has his limitations because it is a provincial resource, so we’ll see what the direction becomes from the new government.”

Barnes said landowners have told him of problems with crop damage, fence damage, hay and pasture loss and highway safety issues.

“The other big concern is they are so amazed that the government has put this resource there and let it grow without a plan in place, and now there seems to be no way to keep the size of the herd in check,” he said. barb.glen@producer.com

Crop damage compensation sought 50 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 16, 1965

FROM THE ARCHIVES

BRUCE DYCK, COPY EDITOR The Western Producer takes a weekly look at some of the stories that made headlines in issues of the paper from 75, 50, 25 and 10 years ago.

75 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 19, 1940 Canadian Co-operative Implements Ltd. was officially incorporated and the first general meeting of provisional shareholders held.

The $1 million co-op was described as one of the largest consumer co-operative ventures in North America.

The federal government announced that carcass grading of hogs would replace live grading as of Sept. 30. Live grading had been in place since 1922. Agriculture minister James Gardiner said the new grading system would ensure more hogs of suitable quality for export to the United Kingdom.

The grain trade was becoming concerned over the slow pace of grain shipments through the Lakehead. Saskatchewan Wheat Pool president Charles Gibbings said some in the trade were estimating that the industry was already 30 million bushels behind the targets set to achieve 600 million bu. of exports for 1965-66.

The federal government proposed providing tax relief for farmers who maintained wetland as a way to help them deal with crop damage caused by migrating waterfowl. However, the Farmers Union of Alberta said what was really needed was full and automatic compensation for crop damage.

25 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 20, 1990 A New Zealand farm leader who was brought to Canada six months earlier to sell farmers on the benefits of the new GST returned to slam the government on its handling of the new tax. Brian Chamberlin, whose government had earlier brought in a similar goods and services tax, said the Canadian government should have also cut income tax rates and not introduced exemptions to the seven percent tax. “I think it’s been

screwed up in Canada,” Chamberlin said.

Keystone Agriculture Producers president Earl Geddes said Manitoba farmers were talking about taking radical action such as highway blockades or strikes if the government didn’t start helping them deal with low grain prices. Meanwhile, Manitoba Farm Debt Review Board general manager Barry Smith said creditors were signaling that they wouldn’t be rushing to foreclose on farmers facing cash flow problems.

10 YEARS AGO: SEPT. 15, 2005 Canadian bison are tough customers, but they couldn’t storm their way past American government bureaucracy. A load of bison destined for a U.S. feedlot were turned back at a Montana border crossing because it lacked facilities to unload and inspect the animals, even though previous shipments had been allowed through.

Instead, the 88 bison were forced to return to northwestern Alberta after 54 hours on the truck. Owner Ross Adams of Grande Prairie said he was shocked by the bureaucratic nightmare.

“Growing a farm business requires innovation and creativity,” says Gwen Paddock, national director of agriculture at RBC, where a dedicated team of agriculture specialists help producers capture opportunities, plan for the future and mitigate risk.

The agriculture industry is evolving and continues to face environmental, economic, demographic and social issues, such as an aging farm population, climate change, food safety, and international competition—just to name a few.

“For your business to progress, you may need to incur debt to invest in cutting-edge technologies or adopt more modern business practices that will attract younger farm talent,” says Paddock, who also offers the following advice for growing your farm business.

DO YOUR RESEARCH: Check the demand for a specific product to be sure there is a solid market for it, and if there are any distribution issues, such as a high rate of spoilage.

EMBRACE TECHNOLOGY: Modernizing operations with new technology can increase efficiency and productivity for greater yields with less waste and help farms of all sizes to meet growing demands.

DEVELOP YOUR HUMAN RESOURCES: When expanding, you can’t do it alone. Hiring requires training and guidance, but the right staff can free up your time. Also, working with other farmers through business partnerships and collectives can help everyone succeed.

ACCEPT GOOD DEBT: Review your business to understand how much debt you can manage and explore the different financial options such as term loans, leasing or farm mortgages to finance expansion.

Compost bedding barns good fit for dairy Unlike conventional barns, which use straw, compost bedding barns use ground fibre that better absorbs cattle urine some manner. So the only expense you’d have is hauling.”

The technique can work also work on the Prairie because the bacteria produce heat as they work that helps keep up the temperature in the barn.

“We’ve always recognized that without housing we are going to get less milk, but the argument or concern over the years has been the cost of putting up housing,” he said.

“Will it pay compared to a lower input type of system.”

Probert said the farmers he has talked to who have built these kinds of barns have noticed interesting results: • Cows are more comfortable out of the elements.

• There is a drop in somatic cell count, which would indicate increased udder health.

• Some have seen more cows in heat, which may mean that heat detection is easier.

• Cows have more comfortable footing and show more activity.

• There is an increase in feed intake, particularly if they have been in a situation where they had no housing.

• There are less foot and leg problems compared to pasture.

“The bottom line is milk production improves and cow longevity can improve,” said Probert.

“And because you have less udder health problems, there is less stress on the cows. None of these are 100 percent the case in every herd, but these are the trends we’re seeing.”

Compost barns use the absorption ability of a ground fibre such as sawdust or fine shavings to soak up and eliminate manure and urine while also making compost under the cows’ feet when coupled with agitation.

While in the south these barns might be built on farms that don’t have barns, the concept can work further north as well, That is the case in Missouri, said Ted Probert, regional extension dairy specialist for the University of Missouri.

In the southern United States, these types of facilities are often used on farms that have no barns and provide an alternative to free stall barns.

Most free stall barns are bedded with straw because of cost and availability, but the practice requires regular re-bedding to keep cows happy and clean.

“They just kept getting deeper and you kept re-bedding,” said Probert.

The problem is that straw does not absorb manure and urine well, which means it becomes a matter of hiding it in more and more straw.

However, this is not the case with compost barns, where the absorption ability of a ground fibre eliminates manure and urine.

“You start with about a foot when you start the barn,” said Probert.

“Then we go in there with some kind of stirring device, either a chisel plow type on the back of a tractor or rotary tiller, and twice daily you go through the barn and stir the bedding ... stir the manure and urine into it.”

This allows bacterial action to start breaking down the bedding.

It also fluffs the bedding and helps dry it out, which results in a nice surface for the cows to lie on.

“If sized properly and if you have enough space per cow, it will not get wet,” said Probert.

“It will stay at a good moisture content and cows won’t get dirty.”

Fans are a must for the warmer months. As well, more space is needed per cow in higher humidity areas.

Farmers in the southern U.S. use a measure of 100 to 110 sq. feet per cow for Holsteins, but Probert thinks less would be needed in northern climates.

“A good feel of how the bedding is doing is critical to make sure cows are comfortable, stirring the bedding twice daily and adding more bedding as needed to keep it dry and fresh,” he said.

“And, over a period of months, it will start to build up. You do not want to let it get wet. It needs to be stirred and kept dry on top. Overcrowding or not stirring enough can cause a situation. While the pathogen load in the bedding is relatively high, it’s no higher than what we have in many of our dry lots…. In some cases, they turn out to be mud lots.”

Lower moisture reduces udder problems and somatic cell counts,

although good udder preparation at milking time is still recommend because of the pathogen load in the bedding.

Probert said sawdust works, but other fine waste products can also be used.

“Chopped straw will work if it’s chopped finely,” said Probert.

“So you need some type of a fine organic mater ial that can be stirred. We have fairly substantial timber industry and there are piles of sawdust needed to be utilized in

IMPACT STUDY LACKING

WEED ERADICATION

U.S. insecticide release halted

Alberta farmers urged to scout for jimsonweed

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

U.S. approval of a DowAgro insecticide is in doubt after an appeals court said the Environmental Protection Agency failed to study the chemical’s impact on bees.

A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco ruled Sept. 10 that the “EPA’s decision to unconditionally register sulfoxaflor was based on flawed and limited data.”

The court ordered the agency to conduct further studies on sulfoxaflor’s effect on bees and suspended the insecticide’s registration.

Tibor Szabo, president of the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association, said the court decision demonstrates that the EPA is not taking the necessary steps to protect bees when it registers chemicals. “(They) are not up to date on their risk assessment regarding persistent and mobile pesticides,” said Szabo, a beekeeper from Moffat, Ont. “Finally, a court ordered them to get their act together.”

The EPA registered sulfoxaflor, the first member of a new class of insecticides called sulfoximines, in 2013. The American Honey Pro-

ducers Association, the American Beekeeping Federation and other groups took the EPA to court over its risk assessment process.

Darren Cox, president of the Amer ican Honey Producers Association, attended the court proceedings in San Francisco and said the decision wasn’t a surprise.

“When you’re in a courtroom and you get the overall trend … of how the justices are perceiving (the arguments), I was very optimistic.”

Reminder to others Cox said the court ruling is a reminder to regulators that they have an “obligation to protect our nation’s honeybees from unreasonable adverse affects.”

The government needs to “conduct more research and develop better data for pesticide risk assessment,” he added.

Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency granted full registration for sulfoxaflor in June. The Dow product is sold under the brand names Isoclast Active, Transform WG and Closer.

The PMRA said the insecticide controls or suppresses aphids, leafhoppers, San Jose scale and lygus bugs on field vegetables, cereal

grain, oilseeds, fruit and nut crops.

It didn’t find it to be a threat to bees if used properly.

“While sulfoxaflor is unlikely to pose a risk to bee colonies, it may pose a potential risk to adult foraging bees exposed directly to spray droplets or to fresh residues on plants,” the PMRA said “However, these effects are relatively short-lived, lasting approximately three days or less. When the risk reduction measures included on the label are followed, risks to bees are considered to be acceptable.”

Szabo said it’s concerning that PMRA scientists would register systemic insecticides without the necessary studies on bees.

“The problem is these are persistent, systemic and mobile types of insecticides…. It’s in the plant, it’s in the nectar, pollen and water,” he said.

“The combination effects and chronic effects are not even looked at…. They’re not looked at from a realistic perspective.”

Cox said it’s unclear what happens next. Dow Agrosciences may appeal the decision to a higher court.

“It’s up in the air. I think the next appeal would have to be the Supreme Court.” robert.arnason@producer.com

Procedures outlined to deal with poisonous weed

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Jimsonweed has been confirmed in 10 Alberta counties since it was first spotted in a canola field at the end of August.

The poisonous weed, also known as devil’s trumpet, has been found in cereal and canola fields in Westlock, Barrhead, Leduc, Parkland, Camrose, Lacombe, Ponoka, Wetaskiwin, Wheatland and Flagstaff counties, said an Alberta Agriculture news release.

“We are encouraging producers and agricultural fieldmen to be on the lookout for jimsonweed, as early detection and eradication is very important to stop the spread,” said the release.

Jimsonweed is a prohibited weed under the federal Seeds Act, and it is illegal to sell seed containing prohibited noxious weed seeds.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is heading the investigation into how the weed got into prairie fields. It has also been found in fields in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

In an email, CFIA said it is trying to track down the seed source.

“The CFIA is working with the

seed company to identify the suspected seed lots to determine how the potential contamination may have occurred,” the CFIA said.

“If a seed lot contaminated with prohibited noxious weed seeds was knowingly imported into or sold in Canada, it would be considered a contravention of the Seeds Act and dealt with accordingly.”

It is up to the provinces to deal with the safe handling of the weed.

Alberta Agriculture asks farmers to report suspected sightings to department officials or ag fieldmen.

It also urges producers to take precautions when handling the weed and ensure it is removed before the field is swathed: • Producers should wear gloves and long sleeves when pulling weeds by hand from the field.

• Plants should be double bagged for landfill disposal.

• Canola stubble should not be baled for feed as this plant poses a risk for livestock.

• Weeds should not be composted or burned because seeds could survive, and burning will release toxins into the air. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Russian farmers to increase winter grains

Lower prices might discourage U.S. farmers from selling their grain straight off the combine this fall. | FILE PHOTO

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Russian farmers are on track to increase winter grain plantings for the 2016 crop spurred by higher domestic prices, says the SovEcon agriculture consultancy.

Domestic grain prices in Russia, one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top wheat

exporters, have been supported by a weakened ruble caused by lower oil prices and western sanctions related to the Ukraine crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase in prices for agriculture inputs has been lagging the growth in domestic ruble prices for grain,â&#x20AC;? said Andrey Sizov, head of SovEcon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, farmers are doing relatively well now.â&#x20AC;?

Domestic prices for third-class wheat have risen 35 percent year on year to US$150 per tonne. The ruble has weakened by 44 percent against the U.S. dollar.

Export f.o.b. prices have fallen by around a quarter and were at $181 per tonne in early September.

U.S. farmers likely to hold crop CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; American farmers are unlikely to market corn and soybeans straight off the combine this fall because weakness in the futures market and crumbling basis levels mean prices are below many farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations.

But the downturn has not killed farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes for a fall rally, some analysts said.

As heavy rains gave way to favourable growing weather, Chicago Board of Trade November soybean futures have fallen 17 percent from their summer peak.

Prices bottomed out at the lowest September price for the newcrop soybean futures contract since 2006.

December corn futures were down 19 percent from their summer peak.

At current prices, most farmers are likely to take a loss on any corn or soybeans they sell as production costs outstrip what is being offered on the cash market.

FARM SUPPORT

EU farmers in line for aid BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The European Commission has announced a $980 million package of measures to provide relief for farmers stung by slumping prices.

The drop in prices has been triggered partly by the loss of exports to Russia because of European Union sanctions against the country.

The crisis has triggered a wave of protests, which culminated recently with nearly 5,000 farmers and more than 1,000 tractors arriving in Brussels, where an emergency meeting of the EUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Agriculture Council was being held.

FARM EQUIPMENT

Product offerings up despite sales decline Machinery manufacturers have seen sales nosedive but continue to invest in technological improvements and innovative products

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

DECATUR, Ill. — A soft farm machinery sales year hasn’t slowed the pace of change for farm machinery development.

While staff reductions at some of the industry’s largest companies have been underway for at least three financial quarters, new technology releases remain steady.

Head of Case IH’s agriculture division, Jim Walker, said the company recognizes that farmers are buying fewer large ticket items, but tight margins are making them look for better technology.

“If 2013 hadn’t come along, slowing after 2012 wouldn’t have seemed like such a cliff to fall off of,” said Walker at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois.

American Equipment Manufacturers track farm machinery sales and posted a dramatic reduction in Canadian four-wheel drive tractor sales in August.

It s h o w e d o n l y s e v e n n e w machines were sold in July, an 81 percent drop from the same month in 2014.

Sales are also off 28 percent for the year so far. Typically, tractor sales pick up in September and October.

Combine sales were off nine percent for the year so far, with an

JIM WALKER CASE IH

August reduction of 17 percent year over year.

In the U.S., large four-wheel drive tractor sales have been off 44 percent for the year and 52 for the month of August. Combines are off 31 percent for the year and 39 for August.

A combination of lower commodity prices and an end to the 50 percent, accelerated depreciation taxation allowance on new equipment investment allowed by the U.S. government has cinched tight farmers’ purse strings, according to manufacturers.

Sales have also been difficult globally. Russian sales are off six percent for four-wheel drive farm tractors and 17 for combines, according to the Russian farm equipment manufacturers’ association, Rosagromasch.

Walker said his company knew

the market had to eventually cool and it began to prepare for it a couple years ago.

“But we are here for the long haul. We have to be responsive to our shareholders and remain able to manage a downturn well. This is a cyclical industry, so you don’t damage your operations. You smart-size yourself, keep your (research and development).”

“R and D (investment) for the past seven, more, years has been focused on reducing (diesel engine) emissions. We are at Tier 4 Final now. We are not cutting our research back.

We are now able to put more money into innovation and preparing for the eventual upswing in the market,” said Walker.

Travis Becton, who is in charge of John Deere’s marketing for the U.S. and Canada, said despite challenging times “farmers and machinery dealers are looking for innovative products.”

“Consider the world’s current population and where the it’s going to be by 2050, this a great long-term business we are in.”

While the strong U.S. and soft Canadian dollars are offsetting c o m m o d i t y p r i c e d ro p s t hat American producers are experiencing, price increases for farm equipment in Canada are making it harder to sell new machines in Canada.

Machinery companies, such as Agco, have focused many new machinery releases to meet the needs of livestock producers. That part of the industry has experienced relatively solid profitability over recent years. These producers are attending the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. | MICHAEL RAINE PHOTOS Colin MacDonald looks after the large tractor segment in North America for John Deere.

“There are several things going on. There is a lot of new iron out there on farms. Establishing a good trade-in value can be tough. The (Canadian) dollar is a challenge. So we have to give farmers some products that will improve their margins enough to make those investments,” he said.

Walker said combines are a good example of how the market has radically changed in a short time.

In 2013, North America bought more than 13,700 units. This year, it is estimated that just 7,000 will be sold.

“That is a devastating level.… It is hard to manage that much change,

but in agriculture it just part of the business,” said Walker.

He said managing the used inventory has been an issue for farm machinery dealers and has caused farmers to put off buying new machines.

While used combine sales are improving, and high-horsepower and row-crop tractors are moving again, sales of planters, seeders and sprayers are slow.

A few years ago, some of the latemodel used inventory was being exported to Eastern Europe and South America, however trade issues, low commodity prices and a high U.S. currency have reduced demand.

AGRONOMY

Lack of disease reduces prairie fungicide use Drop was most pronounced in Alberta and Saskatchewan, where conditions were drier and less conducive to disease

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Fungicide use in Western Canada fell by almost one-third this year, according to a survey conducted by Stratus Ag Research.

Dry early season conditions in Saskatchewan and Alberta prompted farmers in those two provinces to cut back on fungicide applications.

“Farmers are smart,” said Stratus vice-president Kent Fraser.

“They recognized the condition their crop was in perhaps didn’t warrant further investment and also under dry conditions diseases tend to be generally less of a problem.”

Growers applied product on 20.4 million acres of crop, which was a 29 percent decline from the previous year, according to the annual crop input survey by Stratus.

This year’s survey contacted 1,696 farmers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which is a large sample size.

“It’s a lot different from a political poll where you’re talking to 1,000 people to predict the next election,” said Fraser.

Fungicide use varied dramatically by province. It fell 52 percent

in Alberta and 31 percent in Saskatchewan but increased 16 percent in Manitoba.

Fraser said the difference was weather related. The drought was most pronounced in Alberta, while Manitoba had plenty of spring rain.

Harry Brook, crop specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said growers saw dry conditions during the usual application time at the shot blade stage of crop development and decided to hold off.

He believes it was a wise decision.

“The primary purpose of a fungicide is to fight disease,” he said.

“Well, it was so dry this year a lot of our crops did not have disease or it developed so late and really had no effect on yield.”

Fungicide use also varied widely by crop type. Growers cut their fungicide applications by 38 percent on canola, 33 percent on wheat and nine to 49 percent on most other crops.

Flax and oats were the only two crops where fungicide use was up: nine percent in flax and 62 percent i n o at s, w h i c h F ra s e r s a i d i s because they are popular crops in Manitoba and prices were high at seeding time.

Fungicide use is dictated by disease pressure, yield potential and

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Added to that, the Tier 3 and Tier 4 interim emissions systems incompatibility with lower fuel standards in those markets, make late model used machinery less desirable.

Russ Green of Agco said the company is doing well with its new technology sales.

“Farmers are investing in precision agriculture tools. Taking advantage, in many cases, of the newer equipment they have. Trying to find ways of adding some acres on the same (platform).

FUNGICIDE USE DECLINES Fungicide use was down dramatically in 2015 compared to 2014, falling 29 percent prairie-wide. Growers in Alberta cut back the most.

Saskatchewan wasn't far behind. The exception was Manitoba where growers applied more of the chemical to their crops. Analysts believe the changes were all weather related.

Percent change in total acres of nine major crops sprayed with fungicide on the Prairies, 2014-15 -83.7% to -59.7%

-59.6% to -35.7%

-36.5% to -11.7%

-11.6% to +12.3%

+12.4% to +36.4%

crop prices.

There was a perfect storm of those three factors in 2013 when fungicide use on the nine major crops peaked at 57 percent of seeded acres, which was much higher than the 11 percent market penetration from a decade earlier.

Growers cut back to 48 percent of seeded acres in 2014 followed by 33 percent this year.

Fraser said the long-term trend still points toward increased fungicide use despite the temporary reduction because diseases such as sclerotinia and fusarium have become major agronomic headaches for growers.

He believes it is also related to the precipitous decline in herbicide prices.

“They’ve been able to reinvest some of that money into fungicides,” said Fraser.

Brook said another major factor is also at work.

“The last five to 10 years, there has been an explosion of fungicide products on the market,” he said.

Chemical companies have picked all the low hanging fruit when it comes to herbicides and are having a tough time discovering active ingredients that meet safety standards and are still effective.

“With fungicides, we’re just sort of jumping on the bandwagon,” said Brook.

Stratus has not had time to delve deeply enough into the survey results to see what brands of fungicides suffered the biggest setback.

Fraser expects the biggest declines will be in products to control sclerotinia in canola and foliar applications for leaf diseases in wheat because that is more of an Alberta problem, while fusarium is more of a Manitoba issue.

Applications of other crop inputs were also down but not as dramatically. For instance, post-emergent herbicide use fell by five percent.

He believes that is because herbicides are applied earlier in the season than fungicides, when the crop didn’t look too bad. Also, herbicides are used to control weeds that farmers can see, while fungicides are used for diseases that may or may not show up.

provements to existing lines, and hay and forage machinery took centre stage for the companies as the relative health of the livestock sector has created new opportunities.

Kyle Kitt of Agco introduced a new rear steering feature on the WR9000 windrower, allowing a 25 mph transport speed.

“Livestock and forage producers will be a market, but large grain

operations can put a big draper (header) on. They can tow that behind them in transport, again combine-style,” he said.

PRODUCTION CROP INPUTS

Finding best time to buy fertilizer Analysis also identifies when canola is highest

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An analysis of historical data has found that fertilizer prices are usually at their lowest from mid-summer to early fall. | FILE PHOTO

Producers need to have good timing because seeding, spraying and harvesting must be completed within small windows of time.

However, timing is also important when they buy crop inputs and sell

their products, according to Gord Nystuen from Input Capital Corp.

Nystuen presented historical data at a farm show near Saskatoon that suggests fertilizer prices are usually the least expensive from about mid-summer until early fall.

“I think our data say something like 19 years out of 20,” he said.

“And it’s actually substantially less expensive. The variation can be as low as 50 percent off spring prices but probably 35 percent less is probably a good number to look at.”

The analysis examined the price of urea and anhydrous, but Nystuen said the price of all forms of nitrogen are related, so the pattern applies to all kinds of the fertilizer.

Many input costs do not vary significantly throughout the year, he added, so it makes sense to time their purchases accordingly when they identify an input that does change.

Proper storage is crucial, and Nystuen said it wouldn’t take long to pay for extra storage if producers could save 35 to 50 percent on their nitrogen bill.

Some producers choose to store nitrogen in the ground, which Nystuen said could be a cheap storage strategy.

“When you’re looking at price reductions of potentially 30 to 50 percent, you certainly wouldn’t have that kind of leaching loss.”

Nystuen also looked at long-term data of canola prices.

“Typically what we see across the long-term chart of what happens with canola is that there is a seasonal flow and the price of canola usually reaches its peak of the year in May, June, July,” he said.

Nystuen identified variations that are typically $20 to $40 per tonne, but he said it can be as high as $100 a tonne, which works out to $2.50 a bushel.

Seasonal fluctuations do not happen every year, but canola is grown largely in the Northern Hemisphere, which means new crop is often uncertain during the summer months.

Nystuen said producers should consider taking advantage of higher prices when there is uncertainty in the market.

“Because it’s uncertain, the market has to pay the proper price in order to get old stores or pay the right price for what the new crop might be,” he said.

“There are other factors, but what it comes down to is that the summer months are when the canola price is the highest.” robin.booker@producer.com

ORGANIC MATTER

Soil testing tells what we don’t know — which is a lot PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

With several unusual cropping years in a row, it might be time to look under the hood

I

t has been a roller-coaster ride for most prairie growers this year.

The season started with April temperatures of 20 C and higher, which was a welcome change. As well, the lack of rain seemed like a blessing at the time as crops were planted into what was described by many as the best conditions seen in close to a decade.

These weather conditions revealed bad habits that producers had fallen into in recent years.

I saw fields that were affected by too much fertilizer in the seed row and placing anhydrous ammonia too close to the seed.

Problems like this tend to be hidden when you get a half an inch of

rain every time you pull out of a field. There were also problems with planting too shallow and poor emergence, and that was when everything started to crumble.

There was a period of 10 days where I think frost was reported somewhere on the Prairies every night. This, accompanied by severe flea beetle populations, resulted in the reseeding of a large number of canola acres.

And then the lack of rain began to manifest itself as an all-out drought in many areas.

I don’t have to remind growers in western Saskatchewan and central and eastern Alberta about what happens when little to no rain falls in the critical May-July period. When precipitation did come, it often came as thunder storms accompanied by devastating hail.

However, harvest is now well underway. Yields are variable, but I have already had reports that yields are better than anticipated in some dry areas.

All of these variable conditions will affect this year’s soil test results.

For starters, large yield variability in drier areas will play havoc with nutrient requirements.

A 40 bushel, 13.5 percent protein wheat crop, which may have

occurred in better producing areas of a field, will remove 65 pounds of nitrogen, 25 lb. of phosphorus, 20 lb. potassium and five lb. sulfur, while 20 bu. yields in other parts of the same field will remove half that amount.

As well, there is the mineralization rate of nutrients to think about, especially nitrogen.

Three major factors will affect the amount of nitrogen mineralized from a given area of soil in a season: organic matter, which is the feedstock for the process; temperature and moisture.

Temperature does vary, but it doesn’t significantly affect mineralization rates in the soil.

This leaves moisture.

Rigas Karamanos’s VST Handbook — A Guide to Understanding Virtual Soil Testing and AgroMax II Agronomics says that approximately five lb. of nitrogen will be mineralized for each one percent of organic matter present under dry conditions such as we had this year.

This rises to nine lb. under normal conditions and 11 lb. under moist conditions.

These numbers are for the dark brown soil zone and vary depending on soil type.

We need to only think back to the record crop of 2013, when yields significantly surpassed expecta-

tions based on general fertilizer rates. This was caused by almost perfect conditions for the critical May–July period for mineralization.

All these factors tend to lead to a high degree of variability of nutrients in the field, which can be predicted only by soil sampling or using sophisticated modelling programs such as the VST. Areas where hail has terminated crops should also be considered.

The amount of nutrients that have been taken up by these crops will depend on the stage when they were hailed.

As well, the amounts available for the following crop will depend on the weather following the storm and how the residue was managed: was it grazed, baled or turned under?

All of these factors make a good argument for why soil testing should be high on a grower’s list of things to do after harvest this fall.

At 136 pages, the sale catalogue for a Sept. 11 cattle sale organized

by Southern Alberta Livestock Exchange (SALE) made a hefty smack when dropped on tables at the Lethbridge Lodge hotel.

Some 30,000 head of calves and 1,000 head of yearlings got new owners, who watched video of the animals before making bids in per-

son and by telephone via a sales team on site.

“This catalogue is kind of like the Wish Book that used to come when you were a kid,” said SALE auctioneer Frank Jenkins before the event got underway.

“You could thumb all through that to see what you wanted for Christmas. You can kind of do the same thing here today.”

The sale took more than seven hours to complete and included

cattle from Saskatchewan and British Columbia but the vast majority were offered by southern Alberta cattle producers.

CanadaLive.com, the internet video exchange company that specializes in such sales, produced the video presentations.

Jenkins noted that cattle sales via video are commonplace in the United States and are becoming more common in Canada.

The sales method reduces handling

and stress on the cattle, eliminating the need for trucking to an auction market and then to the next destination, be it feedlot or processor.

The Sept. 11 sale was one of the largest of its kind held in the region.

“From a quality point of view, I have no idea where to send you to find this many quality ranch cattle for sale in one day.

“It is unprecedented and it will not be challenged by anyone throughout this fall,” said Jenkins.

Sale results were not available at press time. When ready, they were to be posted at livestock.ab.ca. barb.glen@producer.com

ELECTION 2015

Animal welfare could become election hot button issue if new group gets its way

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Livestock production and animal welfare issues are moving into the federal election campaign.

Or they will, if a new group called Humane Voters Canada gains traction.

It plans to question election candidates on their stance regarding animals and in some cases help elect candidates “that demonstrate strong support for animal welfare.”

Launched last week in Toronto, the group is headed by co-directors Jerry Simonelli and Camille Labchuk.

Both are lawyers. Simonelli teaches animal law at the University of Windsor and Labchuk represents individuals and organizations in cases involving animal law.

Simonelli said animal protection is the key focus of the group, including farm and food animals.

“I think if we look at the laws in Canada, we have some laws that do address farm animal welfare,” he said.

“But one of the problems is that they are not fully developed in the regulations in some cases, and we don’t have adequate enforcement and monitoring of farm conditions for humane treatment of animals.”

He also voiced concern about Canada’s livestock transport regulations, particularly those dictating how long animals can be carried without rest, food and water.

Canada’s health of animals regulations indicate market hogs and poultry can be transported up to 36 hours, sheep and cattle for 48 hours and horses up to 24 hours.

“These times are the highest in the western world,” said Simonelli.

“Canada really is far behind the world.”

He was also critical of federal food inspection regulations, which he suspects do not include adequate consideration for humane animal treatment.

Simonelli said the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies gave Canada a D grade on farmed animal welfare, as did the World Animal Protection organization.

Welfare of companion animals is also a focus of the group.

“Animal protection really resonates with people, when you look at the fact that in Canada and the U.S. … more than half of the homes are shared with a companion animal and people view that animal as

a member of the family,” he said.

“There is a deep reservoir of people wanting animal welfare.”

Simonelli acknowledged that food animals and those used for research are in a different category, but “the bottom line is, regardless of the use of the animal, people really want humane treatment of animals, and that is the vein that we hope to tap.”

Humane Voters Canada does not have a specific legislative agenda for improving livestock and animal welfare. Actions will depend on the election outcome.

Simonelli said the general aim is to bring federal laws into alignment with Canadian values regarding animal welfare. He pointed to restaurant chain efforts to make changes in livestock production.

This may be the first time a group focused on animal welfare has attempted to actively campaign on behalf of candidates who support that goal.

“Our strategy is to address mainstream political parties with animal protection issues, so I think we are definitely a very unique, novel way of approaching this as a national campaign to try and influence the major parties.”

The Animal Alliance Environment Voters Party of Canada is a registered party in the current election. Elections Canada indicates that party has seven candidates running in the country.

The party is not affiliated with Humane Voters Canada, which is a project of the Animal Justice Canada Legislative Fund.

HERD OUTLOOK

Drought may force beef herd cuts in B.C. Survey found 25 percent of producers expected 50 to 75 percent reduction in forage yields this year due to dry weather

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Responses to a British Columbia Cattlemen’s Association survey are still being collected, but early results show that this summer’s drought has done its damage.

The BCCA began its survey in July and had collected about 60 responses from its 1,200 members as of early September.

General manager Kevin Boon said trends were already evident.

“It was showing that a lot were definitely looking at downsizing their cow herd, simply because they felt

that the hay was too expensive. That might change a little bit because the price of hay has dropped…. We’re finding it has become a little more available,” said Boon.

“We’re finding that there is more feed out there than we thought.”

Andrea White, public affairs and marketing co-ordinator for the BCCA, said 25 percent of respondents expected a 50 to 75 percent reduction in forage yield and winter feed supplies. Another 50 percent said yields and supplies would be down by 25 to 50 percent.

Seventy-three percent said they might require more feed to main-

tain their herd.

“The worry is, where are they going to get that, because these conditions are prevailing right across the Prairies,” said White.

The cost of feed combined with transport charges can add up quickly, which might prompt herd reductions.

“Quite a number of people said they might have to sell off more cattle than they normally would, just in order to feed them through the winter,” said White.

As for other mitigation strategies, “a lot of people indicated shorter grazing times on their pasture and range

because it just doesn’t have the amount of grass that it normally does.”

The survey shows livestock water supplies are below average or well below average for most respondents.

Two-thirds had below or well-below average amounts for irrigation.

Eighty-three percent indicated that water storage in available reservoirs was below or well below average.

White said the survey asked about the impact of wildfires in the province, which have burned pasture, fences and houses in some areas.

She said most responses came before the wildfires did most of their damage, so more information

on the impact will be forthcoming.

The BCCA will use results from the survey to analyze drought effects, which might affect the appeals it makes for assistance on behalf of producers.

White said some data might also be provided to the federal government so it can deploy its tax deferral program in affected areas.

That program allows producers to defer a portion of proceeds from drought-induced cattle sales to the next tax year. It requires that the breeding herd be reduced by at least 15 percent to qualify for the deferral. barb.glen@producer.com

CONSUMER DEMAND

Ontario’s corn-fed beef program stamps mark on industry

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A marketing campaign promoting corn fed beef has dramatically boosted the amount of cattle fed in Ontario, says the director of the Ontario Corn Fed Beef brand.

The number of cattle fed through the program has jumped to more than 300,000 since the brand was launched 10 years ago, which is 60 percent of the cattle on feed in Ontario.

The popularity of the program with cattle feeders and customers is enormous, said John Baker.

What is resonating with consumers, and especially with new clients in the United Arab Emirates, is the “consistent quality” of corn fed beef, he added.

“It came out loud and clear that consistent quality is what they

experienced.”

All cattle in the program must meet on-farm food safety, animal health and sustainable farming practice protocols. They are on the same corn fed diet for a minimum 100 days to ensure consistent quality meat.

Feeders who follow the program receive some certainty of markets and a way to differentiate their product.

About 515 Ontario cattle producers follow the program, which the Ontario Cattle Feeders Association developed to expand and improve the province’s beef industry.

The number of beef cows on Ontario farms has steadily dropped to 275,000 in June from 425,000 in 2004, a year after BSE was discovered in Canada.

The corn fed program has been so successful in Ontario that the brand

has been expanded to become the Canada Corn Fed Beef program to include Western Canada. Most of the cattle on feed in Ontario come from Western Canada, while Ontario farmers grow 75 percent of the corn grown in Canada.

In 2014, the George Morris Centre credited the Ontario program with

generating an additional $26 a head for all cattle sold in Ontario.

Baker said that number has since increased to more than $50 a head.

“It’s been tremendous for Ontario producers. It gives them something that is unique and uniquely Canadian,” he said.

The cattle are processed in Ontar-

io, and the program has become an identifiable brand in the province’s grocery stores.

It recently showcased its product at an international food show in Dubai, aimed at increasing sales to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other nearby countries. mary.macarthur@producer.com

SALARY COMPARISONS

Report provides veterinarians with wage gauge Those employed in the academic sector work the most hours

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Veterinarians who work in the university and college sectors can expect to earn a salary in the neighbourhood of $128,000 a year.

That is the median wage for veterinarians thus employed, according to the 2015 report of those employed in government, industry and academe.

For that money, veterinarians in

the academic sector may put in as many as 200 hours more than their counterparts in other sectors, or a median of 1,115 hours a year.

A person working 40 hours per week over 50 weeks would work 2,000 hours per year.

Additional vacation time and stat holidays would bring that number down.

The report is compiled annually by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association, in partnership with

The 2015 report compiled data from 220 respondents, reporting figures for full-time veterinarians in government, industry and academe.

Slightly more than 33 percent work in the industry-pharmaceutical sector, 27 percent work in academe, nearly 17 percent in provincial government and almost 16 percent in the federal government.

More than 94 percent are paid by salary, and the median salary for those in the pharmaceutical sector was $126,500 a year.

The median number of hours reported by vets in the pharmaceutical sector was 1,912. They were the next closest to the hard-working group in academe.

Those in provincial government jobs recorded a median of 1,761 hours a year, while those in the federal government worked a median of 1,725 hours.

Forty-five percent of respondents had been in their current jobs for

three to 10 years. About 18 percent had been in their jobs for more than 15 years.

Not surprisingly, the latter group had the highest median wage at $134,308.

Those in the job 11 to 15 years had a median wage of $115,600. Those in the job less than one year recorded a median wage of $102,500.

Veterinarians employed more than 15 years in a university or college position had the highest median wage at $161,000. They were also the group that worked the most hours.

BLINDNESS BAFFLING

Unusual outbreak of blindness linked to toxin in mouldy feed ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

B

Farmers should test feed for toxins and avoid using it if heavily contaminated with mould. | FILE PHOTO on a field of standing corn for grazing. Five cows were identified as blind approximately one week later and were removed from the field for observation.

The local veterinarian was called and blood samples were submitted to test for lead, vitamin E and other trace minerals. All of these tests were within normal levels.

Calving occurred in the herd shortly after the diagnosis of blindness, and while there were significant calf losses during the calving season, many of these were attributed to calves being born in cold

lindness is featured in various neurological cattle diseases.

ITEME, a disease that is most commonly seen in feedlot cattle, is caused by the Histophilus bacteria and can occasionally present with neurological signs accompanied by blindness.

Vitamin A deficiency, polioencephalomalacia, lead toxicity and some toxic plants can also cause blindness.

A recent report in the Canadian Veterinary Journal described an outbreak of blindness in a beef cattle herd from an unusual cause.

Dr. Lynne Sandmeyer, a veterinary ophthalmologist at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, investigated an outbreak of blindness that occurred in a group of 220 beef cows in Alberta.

The owner reported that the cattle were walking stiffly and showing abnormalities in walking approximately six days after being placed

and stormy weather.

Sandmeyer and her colleagues were able to examine the five blind cows, and one cow was submitted to the veterinary college for more detailed examination. Some of the calves were also examined, and they were all normal.

The cows were examined four to six weeks after becoming blind and did not show any recovery. Sandmeyer used sophisticated ophthalmology instruments to demonstrate that the cows were completely blind.

One cow was submitted for post mortem at the college, and the

pathologist was able to identify that there was severe damage to the optic nerves.

The investigation of the herd and its surroundings was unable to identify any known toxins that the cows had been exposed to that may have caused the outbreak. However, the standing corn that the cows had been grazing was contaminated with a significant level of mould, and the outbreak of blindness was seen only in the cows that had recently been turned out into it. As a result, the investigation tended to focus on the mouldy corn as a possible cause of the blindness.

Fumonisin mycotoxins were identified in the mouldy corn, and these toxins were thought to be the possible cause of the optic nerve lesions in the cows.

Many of the other common causes of blindness were ruled out.

As well, more common conditions such as lead toxicity, vitamin A deficiency and ITEME do not normally affect the optic nerve and were not considered to be likely causes of the outbreak.

Blindness was caused by severe degeneration of the optic nerve, and this damage may have been caused by exposure to mycotoxins within the mouldy corn.

There did not appear to be any other symptoms in these cows

beyond the transient abnormalities in walking and gait after the cows were turned out in the corn field.

These types of nervous abnormalities such as hind limb weakness are not uncommon manifestations of diseases involving neurotoxins.

I was able to see some of the affected animals within the herd and was reminded how well cattle can adapt to blindness. Their condition was noticeable if they were placed in unfamiliar surroundings because they would run into a fence or gate, but it was difficult to spot them when they were in familiar surroundings.

It’s possible that other cows in the herd were also partially affected but not identified.

Although we could not identify conclusively which toxin was responsible, it is most likely that the mouldy corn had specific neurotoxins that targeted the optic nerves of these cattle.

Mould in feed can cause a variety of problems including abortion, respiratory disease and other toxicities. Different species of animals may react differently to mould.

Farmers with mouldy feed may want to have it tested for toxins.

Finding farm help challenging

Hopes that China will start a stimulus program lifted stock markets but weakness in oil markets kept a lid on the Toronto market. For the week, the TSX composite was down 0.1 percent, the Dow rose 2.1 percent, the S&P climbed 2.1 percent and the Nasdaq was up three percent.

Plenty of hurdles to jump and requirements to meet in recruiting foreign labourers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The Temporary Foreign Workers Program has had bad press in recent years, but it remains useful to farmers and food processors, says Alan Dooley.

“The temporary foreign worker program, I think it’s great and I think a lot of the people … would say it’s a lifesaver,” said Dooley, who works in agricultural labour recruitment for Alberta Agriculture.

He said the program isn’t without its problems, involving cost and red tape, but it remains a useful tool.

Changes were made to the program last year after reported abuse of the program in food service and mining. However, agriculture was largely exempt from those changes.

Dooley told a Sept. 8 webinar on farm labour recruitment strategies that Alberta’s six percent unemployment level is slightly below the Canadian level of 6.8.

However, the provincial rate was less than five percent before oil prices crashed and has been as low as 3.5 percent.

Anything below five percent is considered full employment.

He said higher wages in the oil and gas sector are one reason farmers and others in agricultural businesses have had trouble finding employees, but the problem persists even with recent job losses in the energy sector.

Farmers or others in primary agriculture who want to hire temporar y foreign workers must advertise the available position for 14 days in various media, including jobbank.gc.ca.

Dooley said the advertising should run until the next step in the process is approved, that being a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

Employment and Social Development Canada does the LMIA to determine that attempts to hire domestic workers have been unsuccessful.

Dooley also recommended that farmers keep records of domestic applications they receive, along with reasons why those applicants were not hired.

“There can be lots of good reasons,” he said.

Once done, the LMIA is sent to the designated foreign worker, who will take it to the closest embassy to receive authorization. The worker will be given a work permit upon arrival in Canada.

“It all sounds pretty easy when you say it fast,” said Dooley, but he admitted there can be challenges.

A better-known program by vir-

tue of its 30 to 40 year history is the Seasonal Agriculture Worker Program (SAWP), which applies only to workers from Mexico and 11 Caribbean countries and is only for primary agriculture jobs in certain commodities. The list does not include grain production.

“The beautiful thing, I think, from an employer’s point of view about the SAWP, is that the … (source) country … will help you find the workers.”

Workers hired under SAWP can work a maximum of eight months in Canada, with the employer paying for transportation to Canada and from housing to the work site.

Dooley said free approved housing must be provided, and the local health authority generally provides the approval.

Worker’s compensation board coverage is mandatory, as is an employment contract.

Wages are set by Employment and Skills Development Canada and might increase when the Alberta government makes good on its plans to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. However, most set wages are now lower than that.

Workers hired under SAWP can return year after year, which is

unique to that program, said Dooley.

Another program available to farmers through TFWP is the agricultural stream, which mirrors SAWP in some ways but allows workers to be hired from all countries.

Once again, grain farmers cannot use this stream but it is available for other types of primary agriculture and can be for seasonal or full-time employees.

Workers can stay and work in Canada for only four years, after which they must leave for four years.

Dooley said the time limit has been an issue for many employers, who have trained and developed workers only to lose them once four years have passed.

The agriculture stream also requires the employer to pay for transportation, but some reimbursement is possible. Approved housing, health insurance and workplace safety insurance are required. Employers can charge employees for housing, up to a specified amount.

Employers can also use the permanent resident nominee program.

“If you can bring in a skilled farm worker, they are eligible under the immigrant nominee program, and

then if you like them and they like you, you can keep them and they can stay…. None of this four in, four out business,” said Dooley.

This program is run by Job Skills Training and Labour in Alberta and is mainly employer driven.

Workers under this program who are deemed skilled or semi-skilled can apply for permanent residence, but those deemed low skilled are not eligible unless it can be proven the worker has developed more advanced roles or skills in the agriculture business, said Dooley.

The limitation of the immigrant nominee program is that there are only 5,500 allocations in Alberta per year across all sectors, not just agriculture.

“It sounds like a lot, but it’s really not that many, particularly when you realize how tight our employment situation has been in the past.”

Dooley said there is a queue of 10,000 people in the immigrant nominee program right now, so it will take about two years to process them.

The program also recently gave notice that it would not accept additional applications until January. barb.glen@producer.com

BETTER DECISION MAKING

Are you ready for a big data makeover in your operation?

THE BOTTOM LINE

GLENN CHEATER

B

ig Data is all the rage with farm experts these days — precision this, variable that, and take a look at how much more info you can get if you have a drone flying over the farm.

Sure, the kids love this kind of stuff, but it seems like overkill.

Surely you don’t need mountains of data to farm.

Don Triggs is no kid, but he’s embraced this movement and made information gathering a pillar of Culmina Family Estate Winery. His 56 acres of vineyards near Oliver, B.C., are as intensively monitored as any ground in the country. And his rationale is as simple as can be.

“It’s not about technology making decisions for us,” says Triggs.

“It’s about getting better information so we can put more quality in the bottle.”

In 2006, Triggs, then 62, left Vincor International — a company he founded and built into the world’s eighth largest wine company — following a hostile takeover. Not ready to retire, he started searching the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia for a specific piece of ground, one with the attributes of the best vineyards in Bordeaux.

He found five sites with similar degree days as Bordeaux that also matched it on something called the Huglin Index, which factors in the sunlight hours per day when photosynthesis is occurring.

Triggs then persuaded the property owners to let him take soil samples so that nutrients, minerals, water infiltration and drainage, rooting depth, and organic matter could be analyzed.

But the samples weren’t little. To do what Triggs wanted to do required pits, some dug by an excavator. About 90 soil pits were dug on the five sites and duplicate samples were analyzed twice — once in Guelph, Ont., and once in France — to ensure no detail was overlooked.

“We wanted to plant Bordeaux red varietals, with cabernet sauvignon being the most challenging in B.C., and we didn’t want to plant anything that was just going to be average,” says Triggs.

Things only got more complicated after that.

The 56 acres were divided into 44 “micro blocks,” with an irrigation zone for each half acre. In each micro-block, metre-long probes measure soil moisture at five depths, and solar-powered weather stations continuously monitor temperature, evapo-transpiration, solar radiation, relative humidity, rainfall and wind speed and direction.

“We also have a pressure bomb instrument that we lug around in a very large suitcase,” says Triggs.

The instrument measures moisture in the leaf and for much of the

growing season every micro block is sampled daily.

At this point, you might be thinking expense is no object if you have enough money. Not so. This is all about the bottom line.

“Our family has been farming for five or six generations,” says Triggs, who grew up on a Manitoba grain and cattle operation. “Our daughter has joined us and we hope future generations will continue the vineyard. Like any business, it has to have a viable return on capital.”

Data — detailed, accurate and plentiful — is key to that.

“While we may be the first to

install this comprehensive vineyard monitoring system in Canada, lots of wineries are doing what we’re doing in other wine-growing regions of the world. We’re using science to make better decisions.”

And those decisions are made in the field rather than in an office. It takes an hour a day for Culmina’s vineyard manager and wine maker to review the day’s data and tweak irrigation or nutrient delivery systems. During the day, he’s out in the vineyards, using his iPhone to make on-the-spot adjustments.

Making better decisions isn’t just about what happens today, says

Triggs. Instead, it’s about knowing what you did in the past.

Data provides perfect memory, he says.

“When we taste a wine five years from now, we can go back and look at the temperature data, all the irrigation and nutrient records, even to the point of seeing if there was a broken irrigation valve at a critical time.”

That example is specific to wine making, but not the principle.

“My mother used to say, ‘Experience is the summary of mistakes — you only get it if you see them,’” says Triggs.

NEW

That old wisdom is worth remembering in this new age. Whether it’s grapes or veggies, cows or canola, your ability to know more about what’s taking place is growing by leaps and bounds every year. And so is your ability to monitor how your decisions affect outcomes.

Is that a tool you really want to be without?
