SURVEY

Saskatchewan does right by farmers: survey

The big 6 … for now?

Manitoba gov’t not as well-loved by respondents

Ag companies are looking at consolidating as profits plummet along with commodity prices | BY SEAN PRATT, SASKATOON NEWSROOM IT IS ONLY a matter of time before consolidation occurs among the big six companies in agriculture, say analysts and company executives.

“It appears the (agriculture) industry, in response to lower growth stemming from lower commodity prices, is on the cusp of substantial consolidation,” Deutsche Bank ana-

lyst David Begleiter said in a recent market research commentary.

Consolidation furor started with Monsanto’s failed US$46.5 billion hostile takeover bid for Syngenta earlier this year.

It flared up again following quarterly financial results reports from Dow Chemical and DuPont, in which

Saskatchewan farmers think their provincial agriculture department is doing something right.

Manitoba’s producers think their department is doing something wrong.

That’s the main conclusion of a compilation of three surveys the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has conducted in the past couple of years with farmer and agribusiness members.

“In Saskatchewan, the government is much more friendly to small business,” said Manitoba CFIB director Elliot Sims from his family’s farm near MacGregor, Man., where he was helping complete the corn harvest.

“There’s a stark difference in the approach of the Manitoba government.”

That includes higher and increasing taxes plus a more onerous regulatory approach in Manitoba, Sims said.

FARMLAND OWNERSHIP

Farmers worry about foreign ownership Acting through local agents is a big concern

Outside investors not to blame for higher land prices: lender Local farmers who want more land adjacent to their property are driving the market, he says

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, Man. — Many Manitoba producers blame Bay Street investors for rising farmland values, but a farmland appraiser says sales data doesn’t support that theory.

“I want to make it very clear, outside investors that are coming from pension plans … they are responding to the market, they are not pushing the market,” said Gordon Daman, president of Red River Group in Niverville, Man. “The Ontario Teachers Pension Fund … or CPP are ver y, ver y shrewd individuals. They will only go in and purchase a property once they see what that market value is.”

Daman told a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Portage la Prairie Oct. 29 that local farmers are driving land prices higher in the province.

One of the key drivers is a phenomenon known as assemblage, in which producers covet land that’s close to their existing farm.

For example, a retiring farmer puts his land up for tender and 10 people place sealed bids. If the most recent sale in the area was $3,000 an acre, seven or eight bids will come in at $2,800 to $3,200 an acre.

“Then you get one (bid) that

The Ontario Teachers Pension Fund … or CPP are very, very shrewd individuals. They will only go in and purchase a property once they see what that market value is.

GORDON DAMAN RED RIVER GROUP

comes in and it’s at $4,000 an acre, 30 percent above what the real market is,” Daman said. “(Usually) it’s the neighbour right next door (to the available land) that wants to get that land because they want to increase (acres).”

Once word gets out at the local coffee shop that the retir ing farmer’s land sold for $4,000 an acre, it becomes the new market price.

Daman said producers are willing to pay a substantial premium for fields adjacent to their existing land base because land that is 10 or 15 kilometres from the farmyard is a logistical headache.

Producers may also have a son entering the business and they want more land that they can farm together.

Sales data and anecdotal evidence suggests that assemblage can push land prices 30 percent higher, Daman said.

Concentration is another factor in land prices, which is when a handful of farmers own most of the land in a region.

Daman said ownership concentration reduces the number of bids for available land.

As well, the dominant landowners could collaborate to keep prices under control or trade parcels of land to achieve their goals of assemblage.

Brent Vankoughnet, executive director of the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association, said swapping land for assemblage is already happening around Carman, Man.

“We definitely have (that) … where it (happens) at Chicken Chef or maybe a lounge.”

Rob Brunel, a producer from Ste. Rose du Lac, Man., said large farms may also influence prices. They can depress land values when they come onto the market because few people have $10 to $30 million to buy a 5,000 to 10,000 acre farm. As a result, the land may sell below market value.

“That’s what we see in our area.

Farms are getting to the size where not anybody can (buy).”

Daman said one solution is to sell land in bits and pieces over a period of several years.

Daman said outside investors don’t play a significant role in Manitoba, but the situation is different in Saskatchewan.

For years, Saskatchewan had restrictive rules around farmland ownership, and prices were considerably lower.

“When prices in Manitoba were going for $1,500 to $2,000, we still had prices in Saskatchewan that were $700 to $800 an acre. Very, very low,” Daman said.

“When they opened up the legislation to allow for more investment, there was a vacuum and investors (filled the void).” robert.arnason@producer.com

Chuck Fossay, a producer from Starbuck, Man., is concerned that foreign investors and pension funds could use local agents to buy farmland in the province.

Fossay said during a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Portage la Prairie Oct. 29, that it’s fine for all Canadians to buy Manitoba farmland, but he wonders if some buyers are acting as fronts for foreigners or pension funds.

“Then, how do you (a farmer) compete for buying… land?” Fossay said. “I think there should be some rules around that.”

The Manitoba Farm Industry Board oversees the Farmland Ownership Act in Manitoba. Board vice-chair Bragi Simundsson, who answered producer questions at the Portage meeting, said producers concerned about the legality of a land purchase should notify the board and they will investigate.

The act allows foreign interests to own up to 40 acres of farmland in Manitoba. If a non-Canadian or corporation wants to buy farmland but doesn’t meet the act’s requirements, the ownership board will evaluate the case and grant an exemption if it’s in the best interest of Manitoba.

Typically, the board reviews about 50 exemption applications every year. The approval rate is about 90 percent.

Linda Nielsen, a producer from Starbuck, said the high rate of approvals is troubling.

“It looks like there aren’t very many applications that you refuse.

It looks like it’s pretty easy for anybody to get farmland.”

Simundsson reiterated that the board only grants exemptions if it is in the best interest of Manitoba.

“There have been areas in Canada where pension funds have been trying to buy up large tracts of farmland. That’s a concern to us,” he said.

Judy Roeland, a provincial employee who manages the board, said most pension funds aren’t eligible to own farmland in the province.

But a pension fund would be eligible if it was completely Canadian, she said.

“Most pension plans, under our current legislation, in most cases would not be able to own farmland in Manitoba,” Roeland said.

Greg Perchaluk, board chair, said even a Canadian pension plan like the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund would have to apply for an exemption to Manitoba’s Farmland Ownership Act and prove that every recipient of the plan is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Simundsson said the Manitoba Farm Industry Board has been evaluating weaknesses in the Farmland Ownership Act, but there is no formal timeline for changes.

If the provincial government asks the board to consider possible changes, they will consult with farmers and generate the appropriate recommendations. robert.arnason@producer.com

THE BID FOR BIG » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Dow ranks fourth in both categories.

The agriculture segments of both companies are exper iencing declining sales because of falling crop prices and weakening currencies in key markets such as Brazil.

Dow’s third quarter sales were down 16 percent from a year ago while DuPont’s fell 30 percent.

Dow chief executive officer Andrew Liveris said the company is considering selling its Dow AgroSciences business.

“There is a rationale in our opinion that given the potential synergies in a newly consolidating agricultural market, an attractive opportunity to release value may be upon us,” he said during an Oct. 22 conference call.

Liveris said the company will compare offers to the value of retaining Dow AgroSciences.

“But look, we believe that over time the hurdle of doing business in this sector will only keep increasing,” he said.

Liveris said Dow AgroSciences has doubled its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) over the last five years and has “the most envied” chemistry and traits pipeline in agriculture.

“We will extract full value in whatever construct we come out with that beats anything towards retention,” he said.

Liveris was asked if the company was in discussions with any potential partners.

“Literally since the MonsantoSyngenta conversations began in May, you could imagine that every player talks to everyone,” he said.

“So, yes, we’re all talking to everyone. And there’s no imminent deal.”

Begleiter believes Dow is actively pursuing a buyer for its agriculture business, which represents 13 percent of the company’s sales and eight percent of its EBITDA. “With the (agriculture) industry on the cusp of consolidation, we believe Dow is focused on choosing its partner as opposed to its partner being chosen for it,” he said in an Oct. 22 market research note.

“We believe a tax-free divestiture of (agriculture) will occur in the next 18 months.”

A story that ran on Seeking Alpha, a website about investment research, speculates Dow is considering divesting its agriculture business because its new Enlist weed control technology might not meet sales expectations.

Dow’s Enlist soybeans are tolerant to 2,4-D and glyphosate. They will be competing head-to-head with Monsanto’s Roundup Ready Xtend soybeans tolerant to dicamba and glyphosate.

The Seeking Alpha story references a Bloomberg article that says Dow is facing an uphill battle for market share in the next generation of genetically modified soybeans.

“Dow Chemical Co. is losing out to Monsanto Co. before either company’s product is available to U.S. farmers,” the Bloomberg story said.

That is because DuPont and Syngenta have said they are not going to license Dow’s Enlist genetics and Monsanto has said it will license for corn but not soybeans.

Those are the top three seed companies in the world. By contrast, DuPont is licensing Monsanto’s Extend soybean technology and Syngenta is considering it.

“Without those licensing accords, Dow’s market opportunity shrinks to at most 25 percent of U.S. soy acres,” the Bloomberg article said.

DuPont could be a potential buyer of Dow AgroSciences, depending on how comments made by the company’s senior executives are interpreted.

Begleiter asked Edward Breen, interim CEO of DuPont, if he foresees the big six in agriculture — M o n s a n t o, S y n g e n t a , D o w , DuPont, BASF and Bayer — becoming the big three or four.

Breen acknowledged that consolidation talks have been heating up.

“Look, who knows how fast it happens, but you’ve seen all the activity in the last six months,” he said.

“I am personally talking to the CEOs of some of the other companies, so something will give here on the (agriculture) side and I would say, just looking at it, consolidation should happen. So clearly, we will make sure we have our nose in the tent to see if there’s anything that makes great sense for our shareholders.”

One analyst said it sounds like DuPont would be a seller if the price was right.

We believe that over time the hurdle of doing business in this sector will only keep increasing.

ANDREW LIVERIS DOW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“Yes. Let me answer it this way. We will do what’s right for our shareholders to create value for them that’s lasting value,” said Breen.

Begleiter said Breen has a track record of breaking up companies he runs.

He believes DuPont will be split into an agriculture, nutrition and biosciences company with 2015 EBITDA of $3 billion and a chemical and materials company with $2.8 billion of EBITDA. “With the world’s second largest seed business and a top five crop chemical business, we expect DuPont to be an active player in industry consolidation,” he said in an Oct. 27 market research commentary.

Frank Mitch, senior analyst with Wells Fargo Securities, does not know what direction Breen will take the agriculture side of the business.

“We’re unclear if (DuPont) is a buyer or seller,” he said in an Oct. 27 commentary.

Executives with both companies blamed slumping crop input sales on Brazil, where the weak currency and lack of available credit makes inputs more costly and difficult to acquire.

They were not optimistic about a sales rebound in the coming year.

“We’re certainly taking a cautious view of 2016,” said James Borel, executive vice-president of DuPont.

“We’re not expecting a big market recovery overnight.”

However, Breen was optimistic about the growth opportunity in agriculture looking beyond next year.

“We’re in the bottom of the down cycle right now. We’re hopefully close to it. So clearly there’s a big opportunity there, and everyone’s seen that.” sean.pratt@producer.com

FORAGE

Alta. crop insurance needs revisions Forage insurance inadequate, should cover replacement costs

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — Alberta’s forage insurance payouts should reflect what it costs to replace forage rather than previous year’s prices, says a Rimbey farmer.

Chris Simpson said he was paid four cents a pound for lost hay after he made a claim through his AFSC forage insurance plan this year following a drought that decimated his hay crops.

He estimates it cost nine to 10 cents a pound to replace hay in his area this year and wants the payout to reflect replacement costs.

“Four cents a pound isn’t even in the ball park this year for what replacement feed will cost,” said Simpson, who presented a resolution at the Alberta Beef Producers meeting reflecting his request.

“The pricing compensation should reflect what it takes to replace the lost production, not a set value of what hay was worth a year earlier.”

Instead of basing the payout on last year’s feed costs, Simpson wants it to be based on AFSC’s quarterly AgriStability price list of fair market values for crops in each region of the province.

“We need a methodology that would be more beneficial and

truly represent what the loss is,” he said.

“I take forage insurance because I need the feed to feed my cattle. The reason I take the insurance is if I have a shortfall, I’ve got funds to replace that feed source. In a drought year, it doesn’t go very far. Any alternative sources of feed are worth more in a drought year, regardless of what it is.”

Simpson used the forage insurance payout money to buy silage for his cattle instead of hay, but he said it wasn’t close to what he needed.

Chris Dyck, senior manager with AFSC in Lacombe, said the agency is reviewing the discrepancy of payouts for lost hay and replacement hay, especially in a drought year.

“In a drought year when feed is short, feed is more expensive,” Dyck said.

A variable price benefit feature is built into the hay and pasture insurance program. Producers often look for other feed as a substitute when hay prices rise, which also increases in price.

The variable rate benefit kicks in if the price of barley increases 10 percent, and an additional payment is made.

Dyck said the agency reviewed barley prices in October and will soon decide if it will trigger an

additional payment for those who took the insurance.

“It’s not finalized, but it looks like barley will trigger the variable forage price benefit this year,” he said.

AFSC, which looks after crop insurance in Alberta, said it has struggled to find ways to increase farmers’ use of hay and pasture insurance and has launched a review of the program. Only five percent of hay and 25 percent of pasture is covered by insurance.

Instead of insuring on an acreage basis, the agency is looking at insuring on a feed requirement basis for the amount of cattle on the farm.

It is also looking at modern technology such as satellite imagery to improve the insurance system.

As well, Dyck said the agency is looking at the difference in hay production. Some hay has little fertilizer added and other hay, grown for export, is more expensive to grow and needs more coverage.

“We treat all types of hay the same.”

The review will also look at coverage in the establishment year and if there should be payment differences for quality versus quantity. mary.macarthur@producer.com

SASK. GETS THUMBS-UP » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Redhead Equipment, DuPont Pioneer and Wendland Ag Services partnered to produce the crop. Proceeds were donated to the planned Saskatchewan Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTOS

TOP: Agronomist Aaron Miller of Dupont Pioneer takes a corn sample. CENTRE, RIGHT: Farmers check the field after the combine has passed. BOTTOM, RIGHT: Travis Jauck of Redhead Equipment helped with harvest.

The CFIB analysis says 66 percent of Saskatchewan farmer-members are “confident that their provincial Ministry of Agriculture has a vision that supports” agricultural development, but only 19 percent of Manitoba farmer-members feel the same way.

Sims said a welter of small tax and cost increases have annoyed Manitoba farmers, while regulatory problems are getting worse.

“Our government is getting in the way of agribusiness owners far more than in Saskatchewan,” said Sims.

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall said he wasn’t surprised by the Saskatchewan number.

“I’m just realizing how lucky we are with the minister and the ministry we have,” said Hall.

He noted the challenge for Manitoba farmers in having a city-dominated population and city-based provincial government.

“They might not realize what issues people in the country are facing,” he said.

Keystone Agricultural Producers president Dan Mazier echoed Hall’s point about Manitoba’s citybased political culture creating problems for farmers hoping to be heard and understood.

However, he said farmers are fortunate that the NDP government has an open door policy with KAP and other organizations. Some policies and regulations may upset farmers, but their views are at least recognized.

“I do feel we are very well respected,” said Mazier.

“We’ve got a very, very good working relationship.”

Saskatchewan agriculture minister Lyle Stewart said farmers just want to be consulted and see policies implemented in a co-operative manner.

“We consult with industry leaders and farmers and ranchers and other agricultural stakeholders as much as we possibly can so that we can move forward in a direction that not only contributes to the long-term sustainable growth of the agricultural sector but also in a direction that agricultural stakeholders feel comfortable with,” said Stewart.

He didn’t seem surprised at the results, since “farmers and ranchers and other agricultural stakeholders are businesspeople and we’re a government that’s probusiness.”

He said he thinks Saskatchewan’s farmers might have been as unhappy as Manitoba’s are now if the surveys had been completed during the province’s previous NDP government.

The CFIB results come from three separate surveys: the April 2014 State of Agriculture; the JanuaryDecember 2014 Our Farmer Members’ Opinion and the October 2015 farmer subset of the Monthly Business Barometer.

Sims said the findings should be a wake-up call to the Manitoba government, which seems to “turn a blind eye” to the impact of taxes and regulations on farmers.

“We’ve got higher taxes and more red tape than we had five years ago,” said Sims.

The Manitoba government could not be reached for comment. ed.white@producer.com

FLAX

Defaults on flax may spark oversupply Shipments have been sitting in Chinese ports but importers are waiting for the price to fall

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

C h i n e s e f l a x i m p o r t e r s a re defaulting on shipments, which will result in higher carryout and lower prices, says an exporter.

“The buyers aren’t just defaulting on the small guys or the medium guys like myself, they’re defaulting on all the majors, so it’s not a good situation,” said Kevin Price, senior manager with Agrocorp International.

He believes this year’s sluggish export program will result in 200,000 to 250,000 tonnes of carryout at the end of 2015-16, which is more than double Agriculture Canada’s forecast of 100,000 tonnes.

“We might get into a scenario where we’re going to see flax at a lower price than canola actually this year. That’s my gut feeling,” said Price.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, has heard the same story from enough traders that he too is increasing his ending stocks number.

He believes it could be as high as 300,000 tonnes if Saskatchewan Agriculture’s 23 bushel an acre yield estimate proves accurate.

Shipments to the European Union will also be down because of stiff competition from the Black Sea region. Kazakhstan harvested a bumper flax crop, and Russia exported a record 84,000 tonnes in September.

Growers in the United States also harvested a bigger crop than last year, forcing prices in that country down to C$10 per bushel.

“If there is a floor maybe that’s where the floor is, is around $10,” said Penner.

“But flax farmers are kind of like canaryseed and mustard growers.

If they don’t like the price, they’ll just lock up their bins.”

Price said China is still working its way through an oversupply of the crop it imported in 2014-15.

Importers bought 353,052 tonnes of Canadian flax that year, up from

China still has an oversupply of flax and the EU is supplied by the Black Sea, leaving Canada scrounging for markets. | 245,556 tonnes the previous year and 158,331 tonnes three years ago.

Price expects Canada’s export program to China to revert back to 250,000 tonnes this year as importers work their way through the excess Canadian supply.

There were 80,000 tonnes sitting in Chinese ports for a long time.

Those stocks have fallen to 35,000 tonnes in recent weeks, but it is still too much supply.

Price estimates that Chinese importers have defaulted on contracts with six medium-sized Canadian exporters and another two or three of the big players.

Exporters thought the excess supply would have been mopped up by now, but importers are waiting for the floor in flax prices, which have been dropping at a steady rate of $10 per tonne, or 25 cents a bushel, for the past 10 months.

Buyers do not want to take delivery in a falling market, which has pushed inferred usage down by 10,000 tonnes a month.

Chinese importers are also finding it difficult to obtain credit because most of them lost money last year importing commodities in a falling price environment.

“They need cash flow, so they need to sell (flax) right away, and they’re forcing it onto the market, which is pushing the market down even more,” said Price.

The U.S. and the European Union are the only two viable alternative markets when Chinese importers default on contracts.

However, Penner said the EU will be well supplied by Black Sea flax, which leaves Canadian exporters in a pinch. It’s why Price is projecting less than 700,000 tonnes of total exports, down from Agriculture

Canada’s forecast of 800,000 tonnes.

His Canadian acreage, yield and total supply forecast is closely aligned with Agriculture Canada’s.

Price believes growers achieved an average yield of 21.5 bu. per acre on the 1.7 million acres they seeded.

Supply will total one million tonnes when carryout is included.

Flax looked to be in trouble early in the summer, but like canola it benefitted from the late-season rain more than other crops.

Healthy supply and lacklustre demand are producing prices for No. 1 flax of $11.25 per bu. in Alberta and $11 in Saskatchewan. Not much business is happening at those prices.

“The grower expectations are still above $12,” said Price. sean.pratt@producer.com

The price at the Gulf of Mexico late last week was US$252 per short ton.

“They have really tanked,” he said. “They’re down roughly $100 per ton from this time last year.”

Prices are down because Chinese urea exports are up.

China shipped 15.6 million tonnes of urea between September 2014 and August 2015, according to Yara International. That is up 4.8 million tonnes, or 44 percent, over the same period last year.

Svein Tore Holsether, Yara’s chief executive officer, said during a conference call announcing the company’s third quarter financial results that China continues to strongly influence world urea prices.

“During the third quarter we’ve seen higher production and lower export prices from China, which together with increased exports from Iran, Algeria and Saudi Arabia have contributed to lower nitrogen prices compared to a year earlier,” he said.

However, the pace of Chinese exports appears to be slowing with 1.8 million tons shipped in July and August compared to 2.4 million tonnes in the same period last year.

“Recently recorded prices around $250 f.o.b. per ton are likely close to break-even level for marginal Chinese producers,” said Holsether.

Buckley agreed, saying China’s nitrogen fertilizer industry association recently advised its producers to stop selling urea at prices below $250 per ton.

“This association has no power,

Canadian farmers who buy nitrogen fertilizer this fall will enjoy the lowest prices in years. | but it is strongly recommending to its members not to do this, and it sounds like they’re falling in line,” he said.

Curtailed Chinese exports combined with large tenders from two of India’s biggest buyers will likely force urea prices higher at the

Gulf of Mexico, which will result in higher prices across North America.

The U.S. imports 7.5 million

tonnes of urea a year, or 70 percent of its total requirements, so the price of imports has a big influence on Midwest fertilizer prices.

China is the world’s top urea exporter, followed closely by the Middle East. The U.S. imports most of its urea from the Middle East, but Chinese exports have a major influence on Middle East prices because it is the world’s lowest cost exporter.

Buckley believes urea prices will drift higher as spring approaches but will remain well below levels of the last few years because there is still an oversupply of the product.

NPK is forecasting an average price of $280 per ton for the current fertilizer year, which runs from July 2015 to June 2016.

That would still be well below the previous four yearly averages of $317, $346, $398 and $485 per ton.

Buckley expects prices to peak in March-April at $285 per ton. He said the price response in Western Canada might be more muted because there is less competition than in the U.S. Midwest.

Other nitrogen fertilizer products are expected to follow a similar price pattern as urea, although growers shouldn’t expect as much volatility with anhydrous ammonia and UAN because there are only a few manufacturers of those products while urea is a globally traded commodity. sean.pratt@producer.com

WHEAT MARKET

Weather threats force funds to cover shorts MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

W

heat futures saw a good rally last week with the Chicago December contract gaining 6.4 percent.

The rise in Kansas hard red winter and Minneapolis hard red spring were less aggressive with Kansas up 3.8 percent and Minneapolis up 2.8 percent.

The variation in the gains gave Chicago soft wheat a rare premium over Kansas hard red winter wheat.

Kansas and Minneapolis, with their higher protein levels, usually

trade higher than Chicago.

Big investment funds had previously been together in the expectation of falling prices, accumulating a heavy net short position.

But that began to be viewed as a big risk as weather posed a challenge to wheat crops in the Black Sea region and Australia.

So the funds began to cover their short positions last week, at least in the Chicago contract, and that accounted for the sharp rally.

However, continued gains will have a steep hurdle in the form of ample global wheat supply, stiff competition and improving conditions in U.S. winter wheat regions.

Harvests around the world have been good this year. The worry is about the harvests yet to come, and Australian farmers are the next to start their combines.

Australia’s crops have faced extreme weather in the last few

months.

October was the hottest month ever in records going back to 1910.

The rainfall average for the country was down 53 percent from normal with the extreme southeast and southwest of the country among the hardest hit. Both regions are important for crop production.

Then heavy rain fell in much of southeastern Australia this weekend. Most of the wheat growing regions in the eastern part of the country got more than 25 millimetres over the weekend.

More rain was expected midweek, likely damaging quality.

Australia’s wheat was not expected to be a disaster, even with the scorching October. The official forecast is 25.3 million tonnes, up from 23.7 million last year, but that was made before October’s heat.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture attaché in Australia recently

forecast a 24 million tonne crop and exports of 17 million tonnes, down from the official USDA forecast of 27 million tonnes of production and 18.5 million tonnes of exports.

The Australia & New Zealand Bank has forecast a 23 million tonne crop.

Looking ahead to crops that will be harvested next year, Argentina’s Buenos Aires Grains Exchange sees a 9.5 million tonne wheat crop, down from 11.75 million this year.

As well, Ukraine forecasters see a crop near 19 million tonnes, down 20 percent.

However, to support prices bigger reductions will be needed to offset huge carry-in stocks of 228.5 million tonnes, up 36.9 million from last year. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

UKRAINE WEATHER

Drought threatens Ukrainian 2016 wheat harvest: forecaster Reports say 6.9 million acres of winter wheat have yielded no seedlings this fall KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — Severe drought across half of Ukraine has hit winter seeding and could sharply reduce the country’s 2016 wheat harvest, a senior state weather forecaster said Nov. 2.

The drought, in which the central Dnipropetrovsk region suffered its driest autumn in 50 years, could lead to a 20 percent year-onyear fall in the wheat harvest, hitting exports from the world’s sixthlargest wheat exporter.

Farmers have finished seeding winter wheat for next year’s harvest, planting only 86 percent of the initially expected area because weeks of dry weather left fields without enough moisture for germination, according to government data.

“We are not expecting a good wheat harvest. It is clear that next year’s wheat harvest will be much smaller (than in 2015),” said Tetyana Adamenko, head of the agriculture department at Ukraine’s state weather centre.

UkrAgroConsult consultancy expects a harvest of 19 million tonnes next year, which allows Ukraine to export 10 million tonnes of wheat in 2016-17.

tonnes of wheat this year and plans to export 15 million tonnes in 2015-16 season, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture October forecast.

The Ukrainian agriculture ministry has said 8.7 million acres, or 55 percent of seeded area, had sprouted as of Oct. 29, and only 69 percent of this was in good or satisfactory condition. It said 6.9 million acres had yielded no seedlings.

Adamenko said relatively warm w e at h e r i n t h e f i r s t w e e k o f November could expand the sprouted area, but its chance of surviving though the winter would be “very small.”

“Only a global weather anomaly could improve the situation,” she

said, adding that some leading Ukrainian grain production areas such as Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolayiv and Zaporizhya had seen no rain for three months.

UkrAgroConsult said the area under winter wheat could total 14.085 to 14.332 million acres this year.

“The last time an area this size was sown with winter wheat was in 2006 and 2004, when the gross crop amounted to 13.8 and 16.5 million tonnes respectively,” it said in a report.

Agriculture minister Oleksiy Pavlenko said last month that Ukraine’s winter wheat acreage could shrink by more than 10 percent because of dry weather this autumn.

He also said that the uncertainty over winter wheat seeding and concern about the volume of the next year’s harvest was the main reason for a delay in signing a grain export memorandum for the 2015-16 season.

Traders said last month that the ministry and traders’ unions had failed to sign a memorandum to determine the amount of grain available for export in the 2015-16 season, adding to market uncertainty.

Bulk shipments of peas were 16 percent ahead of last year as of Oct. 23. | FILE PHOTO TRADE

Pulse exports set blistering pace Buyers prompted to lock up next year’s crop

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Pulse crop exports are exceeding last year’s record pace, which has buyers already locking up next year’s crop.

Bulk shipments of peas were 1.14 million tonnes through Oct. 23, week 12 of the 2015-16 crop year, which is 16 percent ahead of last year.

Bulk lentil shipments were 292,300 tonnes, almost double last year’s pace at this point.

A lot of lentils and peas are shipped by container, which is tracked by Statistics Canada.

The Statistics Canada data is available only for August, but Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftFi e l d C o m m o d i t y R e s e a rc h, expects that container shipments have been brisk as well.

“We have this exceptional pace,” he said. “Because we had such low suppliers going in, there was a huge amount of pent-up demand.”

The pea and lentil export program usually begins well in advance of canola, wheat and other crops because pulses are among the first crops to be harvested.

That situation was exacerbated this year because a lot of peas and lentils were in the bin when the August and September rain came in Saskatchewan, which delayed the harvest of cereal and oilseed crops.

“It kind of gave (pulses) a bit of a running start at the year,” he said.

Most of the peas and lentils that moved dur ing the first three months of the crop year were contracted. Farmers are sitting back and being more patient with their remaining stocks.

“That’s part of what’s driving the market higher right now, is farmers have already generated quite a bit of cash and they’re bullish and rightfully so,” he said.

Stat Publishing reported a weekly grower closing price of 45 cents per pound for No. 1 red lentils as of Oct. 30, up from 36 cents a month ago.

The price for large yellow peas was $9.50 per bushel, up from $9 a month ago.

Penner said the recent run-up in yellow pea prices has not been as dramatic as red lentils because pea buyers in India have temporarily filled their cupboards.

It has also been kept in check by

the Indian government’s attempts to eliminate hording by pulse traders and importers to keep food price inflation in check.

“They tried to flush a bunch of pulses out into the market,” Penner said. “That had a little bit of an effect but really not much.”

Importers balked at the policy measure, saying it would ultimately reduce imports and drive up pulse prices in India. The government has relented and is removing the stock limits on importers but implementing time limits for product to move through their warehouses.

Large green lentil prices were 53 cents a pound at closing Oct. 30.

Stat Publishing said prices have been this high only less than 10 percent of the time during the history of the crop.

Green pea prices were $8.50 per bushel as of the end of last week, which is $1 per bu. below yellow peas.

“That’s the one area where we have comfortable supplies,” said Penner.

Canadian buyers were offering new crop pea and lentil contracts in October, which is well ahead of the usual January time frame.

Penner said companies are offering 32 cents per lb. for new crop red lentils and $8.50 per bu. for yellow peas with act-of-God clauses to protect growers against production shortfalls.

“To be able to contract at those prices is just unheard of,” he said.

Penner said it’s a no-brainer to sign up at those prices, and he anticipates many established pulse growers have already signed contracts.

“Don’t sell everything of course, but I would sell into the rallying market,” he said.

The anticipated surge in next year’s pea and lentil acres is one good reason to sell, as long as seed is available.

“We’re going to see lentils everywhere from Rosenort (Man.,) to Rosetown (Sask.,)” said Penner.

That could drive prices lower, depending on what happens with India’s rabi (winter) crop. Pulse prices are also attractive in India, so he expects India’s farmers to harvest a big rabi crop in February and March.

“If they don’t, yikes, it’s a good time to be a pulse grower,” said Penner. sean.pratt@producer.com

MARKETS CANFAX REPORT FED CATTLE FIRM The Canfax weekly fed steer w e i g h t e d av e r a g e p r i c e w a s $172.49 per hundredweight, and heifers were $170.47.

The World Health Organization’s warning about a link between meat consumption and cancer did not affect prices.

Fed prices have rallied $12 from the lows a few weeks ago, thanks to a rebound in Chicago cattle futures, which were driven higher by the recovering U.S. cash market.

Prices today in Canada are similar to the level of last year at this time.

B o t h o f A l b e r t a’s f e d e ra l l y inspected plants were scheduling delivery for the second half of November last week.

U.S. bids worked out to about the mid $160s live, depending on freight and dressing percent.

The Alberta cash to Chicago futures basis of -$11.98 was the weakest this year, but that is not unusual for this time of year.

Basis usually improves into November and December, as do steer prices.

Steer carcass weights in Canada and the United States are still record heavy, implying that feedlots are not current in their marketing.

Slaughter rates in Canada are picking up, which should help clear out the heavies.

Reuters reported that feedlots were holding out for US$140 per cwt. in the U.S. cash market late last week after some sales early in the week at $138, which was at the top end of the previous week’s range.

COWS STEADY D1, D2 cows stabilized at C$105 to $125 per cwt. to average $112.58.

D3 cows ranged $90 to $107 to average $97.67.

Rail grade cows ranged $213 to $218. Slaughter bulls fell $1.84 to average $134.45.

Sharply lower pork prices pressured cash hog prices lower.

Pork is under pressure as pork month in the United States wraps up and we enter the gap before holiday ham demand increases.

Hogs were also pressured by ample supply and the usual seasonal trend toward weaker prices in the fourth quarter.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$50-$50.50 per hundredweight Oct. 30, down from $52.50-$53 Oct. 23.

U.S. hogs averaged $60.90 on a carcass basis Oct. 30, down from $68 Oct. 23.

The U.S. pork cutout was $78.14 per cwt. Oct. 30, down from $85.98 Oct. 23.

T h e e s t i m a t e d U. S. w e e k l y slaughter for the week to Oct. 30 was 2.253 million, down from 2.312 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 2.194 million last year at the same time.

BISON STEADY The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5.35 per pound hot hanging weight. U.S. buyers are offering US$4.25 with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs.

CATTLE PRODUCTION

We e k l y w e s t e r n C a n a d i a n slaughter to Oct. 24 rebounded to 5,903 head. Slaughter is down 10 percent so far this year.

FEEDERS STRONGER The feeder steer average rallied $4.38, and heifers were up $4.04.

Prices for 300-400 pound stockers rebounded to levels seen in early October.

Steers 400-700 lb. saw keen buyer interest with prices $3-$4.50 higher, whiles heifers rose $1-$2.75.

Strong demand drove 700-900 lb. feeders higher, while yearlings heavier than 900 lb. were steady to $2.70 higher.

Weekly Alberta sale volumes rose four percent. This year’s volume is 1.13 million, which is down two percent from the previous year.

Calf prices tend to rise into the fourth quarter, but this year the rally is expected to be modest, based on reduced feeding margins and generally adequate supplies.

Bred cows ranged $1,500 to $2,800 per head.

BEEF RISES U.S boxed beef prices saw Choice rise US$3.46 to $220.93 per cwt. last week, and Select rose $1.68 to $211.55.

Cut-out values moving into November will depend on demand for middle cuts for the coming holidays, while seasonally smaller fed cattle supply are expected to underpin beef prices.

Canada not in expansion mode U.S. producers held back heifers and are ready to increase herds

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

STRATHMORE, Alta. — Canadian beef producers face a big decision: expand the herd or take the money and run.

The Canadian cow herd has shrunk by 31 percent since 2005.

Record prices and profits in the last 18 months should have signalled that it is time to turn things around, but not much is happening, said Brian Perillat, a senior analyst at Canfax.

“Cow marketings are down 15 percent this year, but you can’t really grow the herd by killing less cows,” he said at an Alberta Beef Producers zone meeting in Strathmore Oct. 22.

Heifers earned big money when they were sold as feeders last year, but that dynamic is changing.

“We are seeing a big price spread between steers and heifers,” Perillat said. “A lot of heifers went to the U.S. last year, but they are staying around here (this year), so maybe guys will breed a few more if there is grass.”

Profits continue for the cow-calf sector and range from a little more than $600 to more than $800 per animal this year, depending on feed costs and when calves were sold.

“We saw thousands and thousands of calves presold, and many sold for more than $3 per pound,” he said.

“You would think this would all point to expansion, but honestly, we are not quite there.”

As well, the price of Alberta 550 pound steers has traded at a premium over the U.S. even when adjusted for currency differences.

“We are usually, 98 percent of the time, at a discount to the U.S., but this year we were at a premium,” he said.

Retail prices for beef were up 20 percent last year but producers aren’t seeing it as a signal to expand. | FILE PHOTO “We are actually getting more for our cattle than they were down there.”

Canada exported one million head of cattle to the United States last year, but exports have dried up this year.

Some believe the weaker Canadian dollar drives cattle south, but that is a misconception, said Perillat.

Feed costs and competitiveness affect exports more than the currency rate.

While Canadian producers mark time, the U.S. appears to be in expansion mode.

“The economics have been there for them to expand because they really got the moisture last year to hold back heifers and increase the cow herd,” he said.

Demand for cattle surged since the drought broke and pastures greened up.

Record revenue in both countries pulled back this fall with a correction in the markets, but prices are still good. Fat cattle were trading for about $2 per pound

and dropped to $1.60, but prices should rebound.

Canadian feedlots had a good run that lasted longer than expected but now red ink is likely if no risk management was in place.

It was more profitable for feedlots to feed cattle already in their pens to heavier weights than to bring in expensive calves In mid October the average carcass weighed 935 lb., about 35 pounds heavier that the year before.

“It was economical to put more weight on the cattle. If it is costing you $1.30 to put those last few pounds on and you are selling them for $2, every pound is still generating profit to your bottom line,” he said.

Volatility continues for the global beef sector with greater global demand at a time when supply is shrinking.

Retail beef prices in Canada were up 20 percent in the last year, but that may have reached a ceiling. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

CRAIG’S VIEW

MEDIA COVERAGE

WHO cancer report shows need for data, context

P

erhaps the most important takehome message from the World Health Organization’s announcement regarding potential cancer dangers posed by eating processed and red meat are the lessons the WHO itself can learn about providing proper context.

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer last week added processed meat — bacon, cold cuts, hot dogs, sausages and their ilk — to the Group 1 classification of its five categories of carcinogens. That places it in the same category as tobacco, asbestos and ultraviolet radiation.

Red meat was added to Group 2A of probable carcinogens, putting it in the same class as glyphosate.

The ensuing confusion and knee jerk reactions should have been predicted.

News organizations and social media streams were immediately plugged with the IARC findings, some sensationally urging consumers to stop eating all kinds of processed and red meat, while others tried to be more useful but found themselves overwhelmed by the noise in the early hours after the release.

Eventually, the context came out.

Scientists around the world had their say, many referring to the IARC anouncement as problematic and not evidence based. For example, McMaster University epidemiologist Dr. Gordon Guyatt said in media reports, that it was “considerable overcall.”

In fact, the original IARC release did contain background notes explaining that the findings did not mean people should stop eating processed and red meat, and that the risk associated is quite small, if eaten in moderation.

In the background notes, IARC also stressed that just because something is

classed in the same group as tobacco, it doesn’t mean it is equally as dangerous.

IARC does not assess level of risk, it pointed out.

Which raises the question: why not?

The present process serves up more confusion than it does helpful advice, so why continue with it?

IARC now must surely be considering that very question, or at least it should be. The organization issued a follow-up statement later in the week to clarify its position: “The latest IARC review does not ask people to stop eating processed meat, but indicate that reduced consumption of these products can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.”

The WHO has a long history as a credible source.

However, background notes and follow-up statements fall well short of what’s required in a world where 24 hour news outlets and social media are delivering near instantaneous reactions.

It’s time that some kind of risk assessment advisory is built into the IARC reports, and others like them.

The practice of releasing observational findings, which address only theoretical hazards with no data on real world risk, is worse than useless; it’s counterproductive.

More contexts needs to be embedded into the reports.

The WHO’s current process accomplishes little more than would issuing a blanket statement labelling Earth and everything on it as a carcinogen or probable carcinogen.

A NEW ERA?

Breath of fresh air on Hill if Trudeau gov’t fulfils promises CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

Q

uestions are swirling about the kind of tone and direction the new Liberal government will choose to take in Parliament.

All eyes are on the members of prime minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, but what about all those who weren’t appointed to the cabinet? Will they start to matter again?

Above all, will Parliament itself start functioning again?

During its nearly 10 years in office, former prime minister Stephen Harper’s government was criticized for silencing its backbench MPs, ignoring parliamentary tradition and manipulating procedure rules for partisan purposes.

All speeches, questions, member

statements, blog posts and mailouts written by backbenchers were routinely vetted by the Prime Minister’s Office.

More than once, members’ statements, which were historically used at the start of question period to congratulate a constituent’s individual accomplishments or extend sympathies when community leaders passed away, were filled with partisan jabs, misleading talking points and general nastiness.

That nastiness would sometimes make its way into Parliament’s main foyer as backbenchers were trotted out in front of the Parliamentary Press Gallery armed with accusations of opposition misdemeanours.

It was a similar story in committee, where historically much of Parliament’s work is done.

Opposition MPs regularly complained that witness lists were stacked with Conservative supporters. Questions to witnesses were often leading and laced with partisan positions, while witnesses whose testimony did not side with

the government’s desired position were sometimes humiliated or, worse, berated.

It must be noted that the agriculture committee was known on the Hill for its tendency to engage in a more civil tone than some of its counterparts. This civility was apparent during the many emergency meetings held during the 2013-14 grain transportation crisis, where all sides were actively seeking a solution to the problem.

Yet, even then the government rejected opposition amendments, minus a handful of minor changes that fixed typos and translation issues.

Dissenting reports from opposition committee members were commonplace, while protest filibusters (both at committee and in the House) were not uncommon.

Co-operation between parties was often hard to find.

Trudeau, like many politicians elected before him, has promised more accountability and transparency in Parliament, with democratic reform a key plank in his campaign platform.

The 32-point plan includes a promise to reform question period so that one day a week is solely dedicated to questions to the prime minister. It’s unclear whether the prime minister would be obliged to attend other question periods during the week.

Trudeau has also promised to allow free votes on everything except legislation that implements platform promises, budget measures and matters involving freedoms guaranteed in the charter of rights. The free votes, the party has said, would be a way to empower backbench MPs. Then there’s the prime minister’s relationship with the media.

Trudeau raised eyebrows when he held a news conference with parliamentary reporters in the National Press Theatre, the first time in seven years. He’s promised that he will be back to take more questions from reporters, a trend one can only hope will continue throughout his term.

Still, there is much work to be done on the media relations front.

First and foremost is allowing

reporters to speak to experts in the government departments, a practice that has been replaced with canned talking points via email, often delivered hours after deadlines.

If transparency and open government is truly going to occur in Ottawa, Trudeau must ensure that the bureaucracy is also onboard.

Trudeau has also said he will strengthen Canada’s access-toinformation laws, a source of much frustration for journalists, stakeholders and politicians who too often have received pages and pages worth of heavily redacted documents.

Under Trudeau’s plan, the information commissioner would be given the power to issue binding disclosure orders. Trudeau has also promised to expand the law to include the Prime Minister’s Office and cabinet ministers’ offices.

It’s a long list of promises, one that, if followed through, could result in a different Parliament.

Stop the GM controversy in organics

WP staff recognized for excellent work

BY MISCHA POPOFF

O

rganic activists would like you to believe that their brand pre-exists in nature the way fresh air and clean water do.

It does not.

Organic food exists only because we have come up with a legal framework by which to define it. And it’s a mind-numbing legal framework — just ask any organic farmer who’s behind on his paperwork.

If we were to decide tomorrow that certain GMOs would be acceptable as organic, as former U.S. president Bill Clinton suggested, we could rewrite the law, or we could leave things the way they are, embroiled in controversy.

Either way, it’s up to humans to define what “organic” means.

Then there’s the notion that GMOs “contaminate” organic crops, as if we’re talking about dumping effluents into a pristine stream full of brook trout. We’re not. We’re talking about politics, plain and simple.

GMOs are completely safe, so if politicians should ever decide to agree that GMOs actually “contaminate” organic crops, it would be a political rather than a scientific decision to devise a legal construct saying so.

So why do organic activists so fervently embrace the idea of GMO contamination?

It’s simple. Their aim is to sideline agricultural genetic modification and prevent GMO farming from moving forward.

And the gambit is working marvelously: GM flax, wheat, Golden Rice, Arctic Apples, innate potato

Activists have pushed the notion that genetic modification contaminates organic crops, shelving products like Arctic apples that don’t brown as quickly. | FILE PHOTO are all on the sideline, some for more than a decade.

Yes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Organic Program does stipulate how and when organic crops can become contaminated by synthetic pesticides.

This is because pesticides can be harmful if misused. Canada’s organic standards, by contrast, make no such stipulation.

However, there is nothing in the U.S. or Canadian standards that explains how GMOs “contaminate” an organic crop. Organic farmers are prevented from making use of GMOs only because of a political aversion to this science that exists in urban organic circles.

Let’s be clear. Not a single organic crop anywhere in the United States or Canada has ever been decertified as a result of pollen or plant-material drifting onto it from a GM crop.

And yet, even the proponents of GMO farming have come to believe that GMOs contaminate organic crops, wondering how they can help prevent it and, most absurdly, how to insure organic farmers against it.

Apocryphal stories abound of “organic shipments being rejected by buyers” who, we are told, insist on absolute genetic purity. However, 43 percent of American organic food tests positive for prohibited pesticides, and the number is even higher in Canada.

Why don’t organic buyers ever reject those loads? It’s simple.

Organic stakeholders no longer care about synthetic pesticides or synthetic fertilizer, even when used fraudulently by organic farmers.

They have concluded, erroneously, that the only way forward for organic farming is to ban all new GM crops.

Nice try boys, but the jig is up.

And no, it is not “inflammatory” or “mean-spirited” to point any of this out. It’s the law.

Organic farmers are not required to keep their crops 100 percent or 99 percent or even 90 percent GMO free.

In fact, they’re not required to observe any threshold limit on GMO content in their organic crops, with the exception of organic seed production.

Organic standards were written by organic stakeholders, so there is absolutely no excuse for ignoring them.

There’s been peaceful coexistence between organic and GMO farmers since GMOs were first introduced two decades ago. And there is no basis for a GMO-free definition of organic. The whole premise of being organic is, after all, pure artifice from start to finish.

The time has come to stop organic activists from creating controversy where none exists. We should strengthen the peaceful coexistence that has always existed between organic and GMO farmers wherever GM crops are grown, and look forward to the day when we might even see the world’s first certified-organic, genetically modified crop.

In fact, it would be mean-spirited to do otherwise.

The mix of crops, as well as yields, costs and prices, are different in Alberta and Manitoba, but they share something in common: the economic picture for the crops sector is much more buoyant on this side of the 49th parallel, thanks mainly to the relatively low value of the Canadian dollar.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

BRIAN MACLEOD EDITOR

By Brian MacLeod he Western Producer is read all over the world, both in print and online. Now, we’re also recognized in a far-flung part of the world in a different way.

Ou r Ca l ga r y b u re au ’s Ba r b Duckworth recently placed second in the 2014 International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Star Prize for print journalism.

The awards were announced during the association’s congress in Hamilton, New Zealand, in October. Duckworth was honoured for her story, “Do happy animals earn you more money?”

For the story, Duckworth travelled to The Netherlands with a Canadian farm tour group, where she met farmers who explained how they make their animals more comfortable, which improves their behaviour.

The award judges said Duckworth’s article was a “topic of great importance which resonates more and more in Europe as well as in the Americas. Barbara’s style is factual, argumentation simple and understandable supported by farmers’ experience. It was a complex topic but so easy to read as facts and historical background unfolded — very skillful writer.”

True enough. She explained that one Dutch farmer keeps his sows together as a family in individual pens and uses natural light.

Another farmer explained that 50 percent of sows are no longer castrated, giving them better feed conversion and faster growth.

In September, three Western Producer journalists were honoured by the Canadian Farm Writers’ Federation.

Producer managing editor Michael Raine, whose name is no stranger to awards in the ag industry, earned silver in the Press Column category for his column writing skills.

Barb Glen from our Lethbridge bureau won bronze in the Weekly Press Reporting category for her story, “When squatters strike,” which explained how an Alberta farmer lost a 10-acre parcel of land to squatters after losing a court ruling. That story was one of the highest-read items on The Western Producer’s website last year.

And Producer photographer William DeKay won silver in the news photograph category for his shots of a gas explosion during last year’s harvest at a TransGas pumping station near Prud’Homme, Sask.

Winners were chosen by 25 judges from across Canada and the United States. brian.macleod@producer.com

SOLAR THE WAY TO GO To the Editor: I know that it is an extremely popular activity to deny the environmental crisis we are in. Somehow there has been a disconnect created between our human activity and environmental degradation. That disconnect has no greater example than the “clean coal” technology of premier Brad Wall’s government.

Despite the propaganda about clean coal technology, burning coal never has been, or ever will be, clean. Solar generated electricity is.

Wall has long championed cleancoal technology for energy as opposed to renewable energy tech-

nology to the point that he has spent, reportedly, 1.4 billion tax dollars in his carbon capture program at Boundary Dam. Construction setbacks, persistent design and technical issues are forcing the Saskatchewan government to pay up to $18 million before the end of the year because it cannot fulfil its carbon contract to oil extraction company Cenovus.

If you take $1.4 billion and divide it by $20,000, which is approximately the cost of installing enough roof-mounted solar electricity to power an average modern bungalow, that would be 70,000 houses that could have free electrical production installed on those homes.

That would be the equivalent of 82 percent of the houses in Regina.

...70,000 houses ... could have free electrical production installed on those homes. That would be the equivalent of 82 percent of the houses in Regina.

GREG CHATTERSON

For fun let’s include the $18 million in contract penalties and we can add 900 more houses for free production every time we have to pay that much in penalties. That is three or four reserves.

If we installed that amount of

solar, the existing demand on our present aging generating system would be reduced, not just the equivalent of the kilowatts generated by the sun. Additional savings are realized when energy is produced on site, as opposed to huge resistance losses in the hundreds of miles of transition lines that bring the power from Boundary Dam to your house.

Local employment of Canadians to install solar to 70,900 homes would stimulate the Saskatchewan economy that the foreign employment being used for the carbon capture program does not.

This previous dialogue is considered on the basis of Sask Power still owning the entire system, solar included for the $1.4 billion of your money it has spent. If Sask Power would offer progressive incentives to advance the solar industry, individuals could own and generate as much electricity as they wanted to, selling back the excess to Sask Power at a profit.

The technology and cost of solar electricity is getting better, more efficient and cheaper every year.

Solar energy is space age technology with a bright, clean, expanding, endless and renewable future.

Another wonderful thing is that solar is only one way of creating clean environmental saving energy. There are many clean, renewable energy options.

Do the math. Consider our grandchildren.

Re: Paris climate Change conference Nov. 30 to Dec. 11.

The conference is reminiscent of the Copenhagen climate change gathering in 2009, with 192 countries involved, each with its own agenda. In addition, 46,000 people were hoping to crash the meeting’s Bell Centre, which holds 15,000.

The 2015 Paris conference is bound to attract the same participants with increased requisitions.

It resembled Quebec and Ontario denouncing Alberta for its contribution to Canada’s two percent of the world’s greenhouse emissions, while accepting their equalization payments — a large portion which was provided by Alberta.

The world’s most gluttonous leaders were there demanding trillions of dollars to assist in green development. If foreign aid was any indicator, the money would simply disappear down some untraceable trail of squandering and embezzlement.

The huge amounts of money being extracted from hardworking people for climate control — bucking nature with no positive, visible results — makes the validation of such meetings debatable.

T

probably carcinogenic, and Robert Arnason’s story examining why Manitoba’s land prices are rising.

Har vey Drake doesn’t think highly of the WHO’s decision to classify some meat as carcinogenetic, judging by this comment.

“The World Health Organization would be better called the World Horse crap Organization. The death rate in humans is 100 percent ; we are all going to die of something. The best we can hope for is to enjoy the life we are given.

For me, that means eating bacon, steak and any other meat I can, drinking coffee and working in the sunshine. A wise man once said, ‘who by worrying can add a single minute to your life?’ ”

On The Western Producer’s Facebook page, Shaun Lorrie Thomson described how her trust has been undermined.

“I have virtually zero faith in the WHO and absolutely no faith in media outlets after our election. Eat well, work hard and don’t be afraid to live. The fear mongering media and scientists need to make a living, too. Never take them too seriously.”

The Manitoba farmland price story talked to Gordon Daman, president of Red River Group in Niverville, Man., who said a key driver of rising farmland prices is producers who covet land that’s close to their existing farm. Outside investors, such as pension plans, have little effect.

A respondent on Producer.com who identified himself as Neil agreed with Daman’s assertions on the reasons of rising farmland prices.

“I definitely agree that it is local farmers that are driving the land prices in our area due to some pretty good years in the last eight years.

That and low interest rates are sure helping farmers bid more for land.”

Arnason’s story also spurred an interesting exchange on Twitter.

TAG OPTIONS REVIEWED To the Editor: The Canadian National Goat Federation wishes to follow up on the article posted Oct. 22 in the Western Producer titled Producer’s test tagging options in goat traceability trial.

The article indicates that Canadian National Goat Federation will only be trialling radio-frequency identification tags for potential approval as official identifiers. Recognizing the need for RFID and lower cost tagging options, we will also be trialling a number of visible or non-RFID identifiers. Two such situations that call for lower cost tags is when very young kids are moved into commerce, or when a goat is sold bearing a tag used for management purposes that is not approved as an official identifier.

CNGF appreciates the varied needs of goat producers. Characteristics of certain breeds will require tail tagging options — many producers in the goat dairy industry require RFID leg bands; and low value animals will require a ver y low cost identification option for producers.

The CNGF would like to assure producers that we are working to provide tagging options to meet the diverse needs of the goat industry.

The careful consideration and process we are following for tag selection will provide producers with both RFID and visible/non-RFID tagging options.

Prairie soil moisture reserves in good shape The rain that has fallen since July has helped replenish soil that had become extremely dry during spring

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Most farmers in Western Canada will be heading into winter with good soil moisture reserves.

Climate specialists with Agriculture Canada say above average precipitation across much of the Prairies this fall has allowed most drought stressed regions to fully recover.

“There are some exceptions where below-normal soil moisture is a bit of a concern heading into the winter,” Agriculture Canada said in an email. “(However,) most prairie regions

are heading into the winter with good soil moisture reserves.”

Below-normal rainfall in May and June left many fields extremely dry entering the growing season.

Lack of moisture in most of Saskatchewan and Alberta resulted in uneven seed germination and reduced plant populations.

Since then, most of Western Canada has seen frequent rainfalls.

The most notable exceptions are parts of northern Alberta, where dry conditions persisted throughout much of 2014 and 2015.

Soil moisture recharge during the

El Nino … tends to have a greater impact on conditions in British Columbia and Alberta.

fall period is important to pastures as well as annual crops.

“Recent rainfall and good soil moisture readings into the winter will help grasslands and pasture recover from this spring’s drought conditions and should allow them to get a good start next spring,”

Agriculture Canada said.

“However, the prairie region (also) relies heavily on winter snow pack and spring rainfall.… The current conditions certainly will help; we are starting in a positive water situation. Water supplies and soil moisture are currently in a good situation.”

Agriculture Canada said a strong El Nino is expected this winter.

That would nor mally mean warmer and drier than normal winter conditions, but it is not a certainty.

“El Nino … tends to have a greater impact on conditions in British Columbia and Alberta with less

impact the further east you go,” the department said.

“At this time, (prairie) producers are in fairly good shape, soil moisture is in a good situation, water supplies are good and even below normal runoff will provide sufficient recharge in the spring in most situations.”

Northern Alberta needs abovenormal snow pack and runoff to help replenish supplies.

HARVESTING HEMP HEARTS

CROP PROTECTION

Ont. farmers cope with neonic rules Traps must be set to prove treatment necessary

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Ontario farmers are dealing with an additional task this fall on top of the usual harvest crunch: placing traps in their fields to assess soil pests.

An Ontario judge decided last month that provincial regulations restricting the use of neonicotinoid seed treatments would remain in place.

Consequently, Ontario producers are digging holes in their fields this fall to prove they have wireworms.

Grain Farmers of Ontario chair Mark Brock said farmers can potentially use neonicotinoid seed treatments on 100 percent of their corn and soybean acres if they can demonstrate that soil pests are a threat.

“As a farmer, I can do a self assessment under the protocol,” said Brock. “We have to dig a hole in the ground and put either corn or flour in the hole to attract the wireworm.”

The Ontario government introduced regulations this spring to reduce the amount of neonicotinoids applied to corn and soybeans by 80 percent. Neonicotinoids have been linked to a decline in bee colony health, and some scientists believe the insecticides are hazardous to the broader ecosystem.

With the court ruling Ontario producers are facing the reality of the regulations.

Brock said growers have three options: • Plant corn and soybean seed that doesn’t have a coating of neonics.

• Plant seed treated with neonics on 50 percent of their acres in 2016.

• Conduct a pest assessment to prove they have wireworms and need a neonic.

Brock has chosen the third option.

He dug approximately five holes per 100 acres and monitored the traps for wireworms. He then filled out the necessary paperwork and is waiting for provincial response.

“I’ve already ordered my seed for next year, my corn seed anyway,” he said. “(We made) the assumption that we have the pest and ordered accordingly, so we can get treated seed…. We’ll adjust in the next three or four weeks, depending on the result of our (applications).”

Brock said autumn isn’t an ideal time of year to detect wireworms because the soil is cold and dry and the pests are not active.

Complicating matters, the flour and corn attracts other critters.

“Skunks and raccoons seem to enjoy the traps. They come along at night and dig them up.”

He said most producers are planning to use neonics next year, despite the difficulties.

“We’ve always felt the need for these products in certain situations,” he said.

“Growers are going through the hoops of doing the pest assessments or ordering at least 50 percent (neonic treated seed) because they do value the product.”

Grain Farmers of Ontario challenged the neonic regulations in late June, asking the court for a stay or to delay implementation until May. Chief executive officer Barry Senft said the legal action was unprecedented.

“The decision to seek legal action against the Government of Ontario was not easy … but it is necessary,” Senft said in June. robert.arnason@producer.com

Moose hunt temporarily banned in five Manitoba regions Ontario, Saskatchewan, Minnesota and North Dakota also report declines in moose populations

BY ASHLEY ROBINSON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A lifetime of hunting in southwestern Manitoba’s Turtle Mountains has given Brad Mills a firsthand look at the area’s declining moose population.

“We archery hunt elk now in the Turtle Mountain Provincial Park, and in the last eight years I’ve only seen one or two moose in all my time spent in the bush in the provincial park,”Mills said.

So he and others in the community weren’t shocked when the provincial government announced a ban on all moose hunting in the Turtle Mountain area Oct. 19.

“I think everybody’s kind of glad that it’s shut off, but at the same time it’s pretty sad that it’s gone to this point where there’s hardly any moose left,” he said.

Moose hunting is now banned in five areas of Manitoba: Red Deer Lake, Duck Mountain, Swan-Pelican, Porcupine Mountain and Turtle Mountain. Hunting is closed to all groups, including licensed, Métis and aboriginal hunters.

Hunting is closed only to licensed hunters in the Nopiming area, but parts of the area are completely closed to everyone, including Métis and aboriginal hunters.

Ken Rebizant, big game manager in Manitoba Conservation and

Water Stewardship’s wildlife branch, said the department has observed drops of 50 percent or more in moose populations in different areas of the province.

He said an aerial survey of the Turtle Mountain area this February found 100 moose, down from the 250 moose found in 2008.

The province is using hunting bans and steeper penalties for illegal hunting to rebuild the moose population. People caught illegally hunting moose can now be fined with restitution payments on top of the fines given by the courts. These restitution payments start at $2,500.

Rebizant said the moose hunting bans are intended to be temporary

until the population recovers.

Vince Crichton, retired manager of game, fur and problem wildlife in Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship’s wildlife and ecosystem protection branch, said unregulated moose harvesting from aboriginal and Métis groups has depleted moose populations.

Crichton agreed with the moose hunting bans but said all groups of hunters need to co-operate in a sustainable hunting model before it can be allowed again. Otherwise, the problem will be repeated.

“Unfortunately in the licensed community, we’ve got a small percentage of hunters that are the bad apples,” he said.

“It’s the same in the First Nation and Métis communities. There’s a small number there that are causing the problem.”

Rob Olson, managing director of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, said his organization is working with aboriginal and Métis groups to find a sustainable way to hunt.

“It’s time to now, I think, to wipe the slate clean, sit down around a table and figure out what we’re going to do now to help the moose and bring them back,” he said.

Ontario, Saskatchewan, Minnesota and North Dakota have also observed similar declines. ashley.robinson@producer.com LAND CONSERVATION

Conservation groups concerned with the loss of prairie grasslands habitat say Canada’s new federal government should suspend the transfer of former PFRA pastures to local grazing groups.

Officials from Nature Saskatchewan, Nature Canada and the Alberta Wildernesss Association say a Liberal government led by Justin Trudeau should stop the transfer process until a long-term plan is put in place to preserve grasslands habitat and ensure that the pastures are maintained in their current condition.

Jordan Ignatiuk, executive director of Nature Saskatchewan, said the conservation groups do not object to transferring the pastures to local grazing groups.

However, conservationists are concerned with long-term preservation of the lands, which provide critical habitat for endangered wildlife species, including the greater sage grouse, the burrowing owl, the ferruginous hawk and the swift fox.

If beef markets fall and local grazing groups are unable to retain managerial control of the lands, there is no guarantee that the properties will not be transferred to other groups or sold to private owners and used for development or crop production.

“What we want is an assurance of protection for the grasslands,”he said. “Right now, the transfer agreements are divesting to the province and the patrons associations (will eventually) take them over … but there’s really no longterm assurance that those lands will be protected.”

He said his group has no objection to grazing, a practice that’s compatible with the Nature Saskatchewan’s conservation objectives.

There are 62 former PFRA community pastures in Saskatchewan, covering about 1.78 million acres.

So far, 20 pastures have been transferred to user-ownership groups, referred to as patron groups. brian.cross@producer.com

U of S official to link new ideas, technologies with capital Prairies officer connects to see little Liaison needs with solutions moisture

BY ASHLEY ROBINSON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — A mild winter and dry spring are in the forecast and that could make for a stressful planting season in 2016.

Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. told those at an Oct. 27 Farming Smarter seminar that farmers might be well advised to preserve all soil moisture they can this fall and winter.

That might be tricky given already dry soil moisture conditions but any efforts might help see them through until May or June, when he predicts average precipitation levels on the Prairies will resume.

“We do see signs of improvement as we move through the growing season,” he said.

El Nino, the weather condition associated with warm water in the equatorial Pacific region, is the biggest factor in weather news now, said Lerner.

As it stands, the current El Nino is among the strongest ever measured but that doesn’t mean its effects will be correspondingly stronger. That will depend on how long it lasts and Lerner predicts it will be relatively short-lived.

“All we really should care about is what are the typical anomalies that go with such a strong event.”

Lerner said El Nino is now at its peak and will weaken toward spring. That typically means British Columbia and Alberta will get less snow and rain than average and southern Manitoba will get more.

For the rest of the Prairies, the El Nino effect is typically benign.

As well, El Nino usually means a warmer than average winter across most of the Prairies, extending into Eastern Canada and the U.S. plains.

The position of the jet stream led Lerner to say the odds are good for avoiding major snowstorms as the country moves into the heart of winter.

The three strongest El Ninos occurred in 1972-73, 1982-83 and 1997-98. Predictions for 2016 can be based in part on what happened in the season following those events, Lerner said.

“Those were all years in which significant dryness occurred in parts of the U.S.” The other driving force for weather is the 18-year cycle, said Lerner.

He suggested 2016 might have similarities with the growing seasons of 1997-98 and 1979-80. Both those years were warmer than average.

However, summer 2016 so far shows a wetter than normal bias.

Lerner said there are no indications so far of a looming long-term moisture deficit but current indications show a dry spring that might work against those who plant early.

In the U.S., Lerner said there are indications for a wet spring and a dry summer in 2016. Based on the 18-year cycle, conditions there could look much like those of 1980, which was hot and dry, especially in the Midwest. barb.glen@producer.com

It’s Johannes Dyring’s job to help turn ideas into profitable ventures.

And he sees opportunities for agriculture.

“I would say data management, even in agriculture production, is probably an area which is going to be very interesting to look at to increase productivity, to lower costs,” he said.

Dyring, who has taken over as managing director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Industrial Liaison Office, said his new role

JOHANNES DYRING BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

involves assisting researchers, companies and entrepreneurs with their new technologies.

“My job is to find new exciting solutions to problems, needs in industry and society and link those needs with solutions that very well may come from the university.”

Dyring had previously been chief

executive officer of SLU HoldingAB, a subsidiary of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences . He said he increased productivity there by building relationships with researchers and the agricultural community.

“We gave advice to researchers, inventors, on how to commercialize their idea, and very often people, farmers came to me. Actually, farmers have often excellent ideas,” he said. “So we worked with them to develop their ideas to try to find capital.”

His work at the Swedish university led to an invitation to join the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry as an international fellow.

At the U of S, he said he wants to connect people with the universi-

ty’s resources, but he will also promote the developments of the university’s researchers.

Dyring said he has thoughts about possible expansion areas for agriculture from what he has observed in Europe, including precision farming. He also said there’s potential in the areas of crop disease and crop management using real time sensors and data management.

“This is just my experience from Europe, where farmers look at these kind of solutions that could increase productivity, lower costs and also benefit … the environment.”

Dyring said he plans to familiarize himself with the area and get to know researchers and farmers before tackling big projects. ashley.robinson@producer.com

ALBERTA AGRICULTURE

Opportunities for economic boost lie in agriculture, says minister

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — Diversifying Alberta’s agriculture economy will continue to be a focus for the province despite tough economic times, Alberta’s agriculture minister said after the new NDP government’s first budget.

“I think we are doing fairly well. It has been tough economic times,” Oneil Carlier said.

“Going forward we have the funds necessar y to continue building agriculture as a very important part of the economy for Alberta.”

Agriculture was left relatively untouched during the Oct. 27 budget.

The budget for the combined agriculture and forestry ministry is up two percent to $1.1 billion.

There is no new program funding, but funding continues from the budget presented in the spring by former premier Jim Prentice.

Grants to agriculture service boards and local fairs will stay the same. The $2 million cuts in grants to the Calgary Stampede and Northlands in Edmonton that the previous Progressive Conservative government announced in the spring were not reinstated.

Rural Economic Development

ONEIL CARLIER ALBERTA AGRICULTURE MINISTER

funding will increase to $38 million from $33 million.

Funds to the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency are estimated to drop from $37 million in the 20142015 budget to $32.9 million.

“Agriculture in Alberta is in a very unique and great position to take advantage of diversifying. We have value-added products. We have some very good success stories over the years,” said Carlier.

“We’re on the cusp of having some really good opportunities to diversify our economy with agriculture. We’re doing a really good job now.”

Carlier said he is looking forward to working with the new federal agriculture minister on diversifying national and international markets for Alberta’s products.

Getting rid of the United States’ country-of-origin labelling law is

an important step to boosting Alberta’s economy, he added.

Carlier said he hopes to learn details soon about the TransPacific Partnership trade deal and work with the federal government on the agreement.

“Whatever the agreement is, it’s important to the economy of Alberta to have open trade with as many countries as we possibly can. It is important to our producers.”

The government plans to allocate $8 million a year for two years for rural bus service, starting in 2016-17 budget. Details are still to be worked out following discussions with rural municipalities and other agencies.

Municipal Sustainability Initiatives grants, which municipalities use to fund infrastructure projects, will increase by $100 million to $3.9 billion over five years.

As well, the government has accepted recommendations in the auditor general’s report on grazing leases so that the program has a clearer objective.

Under the new job creation program, farmers will be able to access job creation grants for new seasonal, part-time or full-time jobs to a maximum $5,000 per job. mary.macarthur@producer.com

I think Albertans will continue to be proud we are building the province, that will take us far beyond this recession and lift us back to the good times.

JOE CECI, ALBERTA FINANCE MINISTER

ECONOMIC STRATEGY

Alberta reveals spending plan The provincial budget will see the debt increase to $6.1 billion next year

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

E D M O N TO N — Fa c e d w i t h plunging oil prices and decreasing revenue, the Alberta government is spending money on infrastructure projects it says will act as a “shock absorber” for the economy.

Alberta finance minister Joe Ceci said instead of scaling back spending, the province’s $49.9 billion 2015-2016 budget will have even more debt and the largest deficit since 1987.

“In these challenging times, we want to keep front line services,” Ceci said during a news conference before the budget address.

“We don’t want to fire thousands of nurses and teachers, so we are going to appropriately fund front line services.”

Total revenue is expected to be $43.8 billion in 2015-16, a decline of $5.7 billion, or 11 percent, from 2014-2015.

The province plans to spend $49.9 billion, including $34 billion in infrastructure building projects.

The NDP government will be forced to borrow to cover next year’s operating costs because of a dramatic drop in oil revenue.

Alberta Wildrose leader Brian Jean said the spending would send Albertans to the poor house.

“Every Albertan will be poorer because of this budget,” said Jean, who believes the government should have cut spending and developed more initiatives to create jobs.

“They have not taken any steps to protect Alberta jobs,” said Jean.

“There are hard times ahead.”

Faced with declining revenue, Ceci said the government must stimulate the economy through spending to help keep the province’s economy from collapsing.

“I think Albertans will continue to be proud we are building the province, that will take us far beyond this recession and lift us back to the good times,” he said.

“We think we have Albertans’ best interests at heart. We are not going to fire thousands of peoples to assuage some people in other parties.… We have a solid plan back to balance and we are going to invest in this province in capital development that will put Albertans back to work and help us ease this recession and lift us back to better times.”

Al Kemmere, president of the

Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties, said he is pleased to see the core support maintained and enhanced in grants and infrastructure projects for rural Alberta.

“The province is in a situation where they have a massive deficit, No matter who was in government they were going to have to deal with the reality of the deficit.”

Money for bridges, resource roads and community airports has been allocated in the budget for future years.

ALBERTA’S REVENUE IS DOWN FROM LAST YEAR BY

$5.7 billion “While that money is not going to be accessible for another two budget cycles, it is good to see there is money in that program down the road.”

Kemmere said while no one wants to see the province build up a massive debt, he doesn’t feel people are willing to give up services.

The government is projecting a $6.1 billion deficit in 2015-16, which will drop to $5.4 billion in 2016-17. It intends to balance the budget in 2019-20.

Tobacco taxes will increase $5 a carton to $50 effective midnight. As well, liquor prices will increase five percent, and the mark-up structure will change to promote made-in Alberta products.

Locomotive fuel taxes will increase four cents to 5.5 cents per litre, effective Nov. 1.

The Insurance Premium tax will increase one percent.

The new taxes are expected to generate $1.5 billion in the 2015-16 tax year and $2.3 billion in the following two years.

Ceci said the budget is designed to focus on the NDP’s three priority areas: stabilize the public serve, balance the budget and create more jobs.

David Dodge, the former governor of the Bank of Canada who was hired to help the government through its first budget, said it is not unusual for provinces to borrow to fund operating, especially when revenues decline.

It turns out to be very usual at a point in time when the economy changes dramatically,” he said.

Flags of remembrance a tribute to soldiers Flagpoles blow in the wind along an Alberta highway signifying soldiers who have died fighting for their country

BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

SYLVAN LAKE, Alta. — The melancholy notes of The Last Post brought forth emotion, tears and whispered thanks. Veterans stood in silent salute, and like the others assembled, were alone in their thoughts.

On Oct. 17, 128 flags were raised in remembrance of the 128,000 Canadian soldiers who died and or were missing in action since 1900.

ALLAN CAMERON VETERANS VOICES OF CANADA

On each of the flagpoles is a plaque with the name of a military hero or guardian, each representing 1,000 soldiers.

The sombre event took place along Highway 11 near Sylvan Lake,

Alta., and in several communities across Canada, including Vernon, B.C., Ponoka, Alta., Kingston, Ont., and Charlottetown, P.E.I. “Seeing those flags unfurl is unbelievable”, said Allan Cameron, the founder and executive director of Veterans Voices of Canada, the organizing body of the Flags Of Remembrance.

“When people drive down the highway and see the flags, it will be another moment that they’ll think about our veterans and give recognition and thanks to those who serve and sacrifice for our country,” he said.

Cameron strongly believes in what he’s begun.

“We’re doing a good thing, we’re doing the right thing. If we don’t remember, we’re going to forget”.

The non-profit’s mission is to document the Canadian military veterans on camera for history and education and donate them to schools, museums and libraries.

The first Flags event was held last year on this stretch of highway, with about 50 attendees.

This year, the event attracted 300, including veterans, their families, Royal Canadian Legion members and air cadets.

Cameron said he’s received about

I’m incredibly proud of my son and the contribution he made.

And I’m proud to be a Canadian.

CANDY GREFF MOTHER OF FALLEN SOLDIER

two dozen queries from interested parties and organizations across Canada who want to participate next year.

Candy Greff, a retired nurse from Lacombe, Alta., lost her son master corporal Byron Greff of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in a suicide bomb attack in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 2011. He was 28.

“I’m hopeful in my heart that we as a family, and all families suffering loss can heal,” she said.

“I’m incredibly proud of my son and the contribution he made. And I’m proud to be a Canadian.”

The flags will fly until Nov. 14, when a closing ceremony will be held. The flags and plaques will come down and be presented to the sponsoring family.

here is no better way to learn about where food comes from than to talk to a farmer.

That’s exactly what a group of chefs, cooking students, dietitians, home economists, cookbook authors and food bloggers did earlier this year. They toured farms around Saskatchewan learning first hand how their food was grown and raised.

Tour stops out of Regina visited Craven Riverside Gardens, the Ackerman Family Farm, Triple A Hereford Ranch, CanMar Grains, Lajord Hutter ite Colony and Young’s Equipment.

Saskatoon based tours went to Star Egg, Great Western Brewing company Infra Ready Products, Tierra Del Sol Farms, Grasslake Family Farms and Elkrest Farms.

At each stop, the group listened to the farmer talk about what and how he produced his crops or kept his animals healthy and productive.

The group then asked questions about topics including equipment, sustainability, genetically modified products and biosecurity.

The group also had a chance to taste what is grown on the Prairies and learn about the health benefits of these ingredients.

Local chefs and restaurants created menus based on pulse crops, beef, chicken, pork, bison, eggs, milk, canola oil, flax, mustard, berries and other local ingredients.

I am highlighting a few of the foodie participants’ recipes, websites and blogs.

Soldier plays role in Great War

Wartime cartooning changes with time

BY WILMA HAYES FREELANCE WRITER

William L . Hayes joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) in 1915 as a private and returned from the Great War in 1919 as a lieutenant with a Military Cross and a German wife.

Hayes, who had homesteaded near Bjorkdale, Sask., in 1908, farmed during the summer months and worked in logging camps at Crooked River as the camp cook during the winter.

When the call came for men to form the 2nd Canadian Division in February, 1915, he volunteered, just before his 27th birthday and joined the 28th (NW) Battalion.

He arrived in England for training in June, 1915, but on Sept. 11 received 96 hours detention and forfeited four days pay for being absent. Curiously, he was awarded a qualification as a bomb (grenade) thrower the next day so did not serve his detention.

A war history written later records a grenade section being created in the battalion of men keen on the idea of man-made tin can grenades.

His nighttime practice led to considerable alarm throughout the area. But the army wanted such skill among its troops so it seems to have dealt with him lightly.

By the end of September, he was in Belgium near Ypres. He would not be out of the sound of the guns for three years. He also fought at Somme, Vimy, Passchendaele, Amiens, Arras and Iwuy and was part of the occupying force on the Rhine.

Vimy Ridge was a strategic height of land held by the Germans from 1914. The French had attempted to take it in 1914 and 1915 unsuccessfully with 150,000 casualties.

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Lt. William L. Hayes was a grenade throwing expert and was awarded several medals. | HAYES FAMILY PHOTOS The British tried several times to acquire it in 1916 but the Canadians took it in April 1917 in five hours.

The artillery used 1.6 million shells in the attack and 97,000 men, the entire Canadian force with no reserves. In total, 10,600 were wounded, 3,600 were killed and four Victoria Crosses were awarded.

Amazingly, although casualties of the Great War, wounded, dead and missing, are alarming, nine out of 10 soldiers returned home.

Infantrymen like Hayes were in the trenches or front lines for only five to eight days per month so survival was a matter of being at the right place at the right time.

Hayes was wounded tw ice, including the first one at Rozieres at the Battle of Amiens in August, 1918.

Jack Bridge, a friend who was with him, reported that Hayes “was hit four times, both water bottles shot off, his left wrist bruised by a bullet. A final bullet struck one of the stars on his shoulder, glanced off and broke the skin on his throat.

WLH had been lying flat on his face on the ground, but the impacts turned him on his back.”

As a platoon commander of C

Company, he was part of the attack on the village of Iwuy, France, in October, 1918. This was a severe and little known battle, but it was for action here that he was awarded the Military Cross.

Details are sketchy but Hayes suffered a gun shot wound to one arm.

He “c o n t i n u e d a t d u t y ” a n d attacked a machine gun post in a house single handedly.

Hayes became the Company Quartermaster of D Company in June, 1916, a role he kept until he was sent to England in December, 1917, for officer training. He returned to the battalion in July, 1918.

At the end of the war, the CEF marched to the Rhine and was entrusted with the occupation of Bonn. Back with the Quartermasters, Hayes acted as a billeting officer to find accommodation for the troops.

He met his future wife at the first house he encountered at the end of the Bonn Bridge. They were married in 1920 and returned to their Canadian homestead where they lived there until his death in 1959.

Cartoons played an integral role in shaping people’s political opinions during the First World War, but in a different way than cartoons do today, said the Globe and Mail’s award-winning editorial cartoonist.

“These (WW1) cartoons are not editorial cartoons in the way that we think of them now. They’re not critiquing. They’re mostly propaganda on both sides,” said Brian Gable, who gave a presentation at the University of Saskatchewan and received an honorary degree there last month.

Gable said the Great War was a time of profound censoring of cartoons and cartoonists were essentially branches of government because the government controlled the newspapers.

“Cartoonists were complacent in the propaganda,” he said.

“It was illegal in British papers I think until 1918 to show bodies of British or Commonwealth dead. It was a crime.”

At the war’s outset, citizens were positive and patriotic about their involvement, with cartoons presenting grandiose and symbolic imagery.

“In 1914, it really was ‘Hi ho, off to war we go’. The government sort of framed the war in the sense that we are re-establishing our purity, our manliness,” Gable said.

Germans were initially portrayed as curious, with powerful, commandeering kind of personalities.

British cartoons were condescending, with Germans later shown as giant, hairy, ape-like creatures.

Gable said these grandiose themed images don’t resonate with readers now.

“I’m guessing at the time that was passion, heartfelt emotion and patriotism. Now it just kind of looks pretentious and overblown,” he said.

Cartoon captions were often several sentences long.

“Nowadays cartoons usually have very short cutlines. People will not invest more than about three seconds before you lose them,” he said.

BRIAN GABLE GLOBE AND MAIL CARTOONIST

As the war dragged on, black humour, bitterness and sarcasm crept into the heavily censored cartoons.

Cartoons started to reflect the changing tone of people’s moods, which became increasingly negative and impatient.

“By the end of the war, people were starting to get the idea that what the government is telling them, what people are telling each other, isn’t always necessarily true,” said Gable.

Historian Bill Waiser, who chairs the university’s war commemorative committee, said the images of Germans and Germany changed.

“At the beginning of the war, they blamed German leadership, but by the end of the war and because of the number of deaths that were inflicted or caused, just being German was considered a bad thing.

That intensified,” he said.

“They (the Allies) actually began to blame the entire German nation, the people, as the war dragged on,” he said.

Gable said cartooning continues to evolve and change today.

“It’s getting harder to make a general audience laugh,” he said.

“We’re becoming very cocooned in our own universe and consequently when someone impinges on that, we don’t like it and we don’t laugh.”

“It does make (cartoonists’) job harder, but in a sense, I’d rather have that than having what we saw with the British cartoons where everybody’s on the same page — Germans are monsters and animals and British are heroes and wonderful people.” william.dekay@producer.com

CHEESE BASICS

Delight guests with flavours from around the world TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

T

he holiday season will soon be upon us and we will be searching for entertainment ideas. Cheese trays are a perennial favourite and can serve a large or small group. A few simple rules will make your cheese trays a success.

Start by answering three questions. How many people are you serving? What is your budget? Are you serving it before the meal or after?

Above all, keep it simple. You can make a splash with one great cheese such as a whole wheel of triple cream Brie with truffles.

Make it the centrepiece.

If you want more variety, serve odd numbers of cheese, such as three, five or seven kinds. Cheese can be selected by themes such as all from one kind of milk or one country. Select contrasting flavours and textures. Guests will appreciate labels.

How to serve it If serving cheese before dinner, keep it mild and soft such as fresh mozzarella or chevre. After dinner cheese can be richer such as a triple cream Brie or St. Andre. It can also be stronger in flavour such as blue, Manchego or old Cheddar. Either way, you will need about two ounces per person.

Be sure to take the cheese out of the refrigerator two or three hours in advance. Arrange on a nice platter, board or slate and cover with a slightly damp tea towel to keep them from drying out. Cheese tastes best at room temperature.

For a large party, cut cheese before putting it on the board.

For soft and crumbly cheese, cut with a wire while still cold. Cut pieces according to the shape of the block or wedge. Cut in strips or wedges that can be eaten in one or two bites but not too thin. Thin slices of cheese can become translucent looking and dry out.

Small individual cheese plates are another option. This is especially nice if it follows dessert and you want to remain at the table and visit.

Leftover cheese Wrap cheese in parchment paper and then loosely wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Cheese tools Boards: Natural materials such as wood, slate and marble are ideal.

Not only do they complement the

• Swiss cheese without holes is called blind.

• A person who loves cheese is called a turophile.

• The crunchy bits in Romano cheese aren’t salt but amino acid tyrosine. Tyrosine can trigger mood-boosting neurotransmitters like dopamine so this may be why cheese is so addictive.

• Cheez Whiz contains the ingredients to make cheese, but not the cheese itself.

• Mice don’t like cheese. Perhaps that is why they like Cheez Whiz.

• Wisconsin uses cheese whey combined with rock salt to de-ice roads.

• Smelly cheese and smelly feet have something in common. A bacterium called Brevibacerium linens is responsible for the similar smells.

Kinds of Cheese Canada produces more than 1,050 cheeses and producers win many awards.

In Canada, cheese is categorized according to the moisture content.

Most fall into the firm, soft or semisoft cheese category. The other three categories are blue veined, hard and fresh cheese.

They are sorted according to the type of milk, cheese category, milk treatment, fat content, ripening period and production method.

For more information, visit the Canadian Dairy Information Centre on the Government of Canada website.

Wine and cheese Soft cheeses that pair well with white wines such as Chablis and Viognier include Brie, Burrata , mozzarella and St. Andre.

Firm cheeses pair well with champagne, unoaked chardonnay or pinot noir. They include Comte, feta, cheddar, gouda and Fontina.

Hard cheese like parmesan, asiago and pecorino usually have a stronger flavour and can be served with white or red wines and beer.

Blue cheese pairs well with a richer red wine, port or beer.

Sarah Galvin is a home economist, teacher and farmers’ market vendor at Swift Current, Sask., and a member of Team Resources. She writes a blog at allourfingersinthepie.blogspot.ca. Contact: team@producer.com.

What to serve with cheese Stone fruits, grapes, pears and apples pair well. Toasted walnuts, marcona almonds and pecans also are a complement Choose dried fruits such as apricots, figs or dates.

Avoid sugary sweets.

Never pour or drizzle cheese with a jam, honey or other accompaniment because people want to taste the cheese. Let guests add the jam themselves.

Have a variety of crostini, water crackers, olive or walnut bread and baguettes to serve with each.

FACTS ABOUT CHEESE

appearance of the cheese but can withstand slicing and scraping.

Wire slicer: They easily make uniform slices. They work best if the cheese is slightly chilled and firm.

Cheese knives: A knife with two prongs at the tip is the most common type of knife. It allows for easy transfer of the cheese to the guest’s plate. When using knives for softripened cheese, such as Brie, try to minimize the surface area to prevent the oozy cheese from sticking to the blade. Open holes in the blade further reduces sticking.

Cheese planes: This resembles a small, wedge shaped cake server. A sharp slit at the base shaves off thin slices. They are to be used with firm cheese only.

and livestock as he tours visitors around his family’s organic mixed farm nestled into the rolling hills on the northeastern shores of Red Deer Lake in Alberta.

Ecological design, sustainability and interconnectedness are casually woven into his conversations.

Coen, whose knowledge is broad considering he’s only 23, lives and farms with his parents, Michael and Laura, on their 250 acre Grass Roots Family Farm.

Everyone helps out where needed. Laura’s domain is the house and garden but she also has expertise operating farm equipment.

Both Michael and Takota work off farm as Red Seal journeyman carpenters, something they are gradually curtailing.

The Coens raise grass fed beef, Berkshire heritage hogs, chickens, eggs and garden produce, selling their products via direct marketing. They are also establishing fruit and nut trees and berry bushes.

“We were farming organically even before people knew what that was,” said Laura.

The family began adopting organic farming principles in 1988 and uses no fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones or vaccines.

Takota Coen said they shifted gears, preferring not to spend the money, time, and effort required on detailed accounting of everything going on at the farm to meet organic guidelines.

They instead educate through farm tours and presentations at agricultural and food events and seminars and show their customers how they farm.

“We want our customers to be our organic certifiers,” he said.

The Coens believe in a farm management model that works with nature, rather than against it.

For example, they knew their water well capacity was insufficient to service the family, livestock, garden and fruit tree needs. After extensive research, they engineered several water harvesting swales on the land.

The Coens planted thousands of fruit and native nut trees and berry bushes. This “forest garden” will eventually provide food, shade, and shelter for humans, livestock and wildlife.

“Even this year in the worst drought we’ve had in years, we’ve caught six million gallons of water.

Our water security is looked after,” said Coen.

The Coens are also experimenting with stacked crop production.

“We are using the Gabe Brown style cocktail mix,” said Coen.

He said natural meadows support hundreds of plant species whereas CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE traditional cropping methods involve just one. The multi-species diversity provides the carbon that feeds the soil, which in turn supplies nutrients to the plants.

One of the Coens’ stacked crops, to be used for livestock feed, is a mix of wheat, oats, barley, peas, turnip and radish. Once the grains and peas are harvested, the pigs and cattle will forage, in rotation, through the stubble and root vegetables.

Sometimes it’s difficult to manage all of this diversity but we’re confident we’ll find the systems and the numbers that work for us on this land.

TAKOTA COEN ALBERTA FARMER

“We’re looking at adding sugar beets, the radishes didn’t do so well,” Coen said.

Some of the holistic practices work well while others need to be tweaked or discarded. There are compromises and trade-offs and the crop contains weeds.

The pigs raised without hormones in woodland paddocks grow at a slower pace than animals in traditional farrow to finish operations. They are outside where they get a fermented mash made of the stacked grains soaked in milk.

The Coens are committed to management practices that contribute to the well-being and health of the farm and its inhabitants.

CODES OF PRACTICE

Animal welfare issues often spark rural-urban friction Consumers are pushing for improved animal welfare, demanding antibiotic free food, but few are willing to pay more

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

TORONTO — There’s a public outcry for something to be done whenever another undercover video surfaces depicting abuse of farm animals.

Farm groups scramble to denounce the behaviour, and sometimes charges are laid or practices are changed.

Codes of practice for the humane handling of livestock may be ensconced into provincial legislation or a commodity group’s food safety program as a show of good faith.

There was some resistance to the imposition of guidelines when the codes were first developed. Producers said science was on their side and they would be unprofitable if their animals were mistreated.

All that is changing.

“There is a gradual shifting of producers as they are able to absorb what is in the code and then acceptance grows,” said Jackie Wepruk, manager of the National Farm Animal Care Council.

Many codes have existed for more than 20 years and most have been revised at least once.

Some, like the rabbit code of

practice, is new. Older codes often made recommendations, but revised versions insist that certain practices must stop or be altered.

Wepruk has been involved with farm animal welfare for 20 years and has helped shepherd these documents through the process, working with volunteers from livestock organizations, retailers, processors, veterinarians and scientists.

“One of the things (producers) need to understand is that these codes are not being developed by government or by animal rights groups,” she said in an interview

during a Canadian Meat Council symposium on animal health and welfare that was held in Toronto Oct. 1-2.

“This is your industry that has taken the leadership and taken the time to develop this code.”

Canada has taken a collaborative approach in the creation of its codes of practice through the National Farm Animal Care Council.

Pain control and housing systems are the most contentious issues.

The codes are intended to be scientifically based documents, and outside groups want assurances that they are followed.

The ultimate goal is to create a

consistent set of standards that food service and retailers can rely on when seeking animal based products.

Organizations such as the SPCA see both sides.

A recent survey from the British Columbia SPCA showed 94 percent of Canadians feel strongly that farm animals should be treated humanely. However, Geoff Urton of the SPCA said less than two percent know anything about farming, which means their ideas about humane treatment may not match the reality of farm life.

The public still says the most important priority for the SPCA is to continue investigations into cruelty cases and reduce over-population of pets with spaying and neutering programs.

However, a better standard for the care and treatment of animals raised for food is the fifth priority.

“This indicates the times are changing,” he said.

“Members of the public who are supporting charities want us to do proactive work in the form of policy and education.”

The public often sees no difference between a case of cruelty and what is considered common practice on the farm.

For example, the B.C. SPCA investigated a case where the owners of a Rottweiler kept it in a Rubbermaid container. The dog was eventually removed from the owners.

People hear of such cases and wonder why sow gestation crates are acceptable.

“They really cannot reconcile that,” he said.

They expect livestock to be treated kindly, and up to 40 percent said they would buy meat products with humane labels. In 2002, B.C. introduced a third party farm certification and food labelling program featuring a red barn that says “SPCA certified.”

Surveys show consumers place the desire for healthy, affordable food at the top of their shopping list, but improved animal welfare has moved up the scale, said Crystal Mackay, executive director of Farm and Food Care Canada, which has a 25 year plan to build public trust in food and farming in Canada.

“What people say on the survey and what they buy are very different.”

The average Canadian knows little about agriculture or science but claims to want food “free from” antibiotics, preservatives, hormones and GMOs. They do not know or care about the definition of judicious use of antibiotics and cannot conceptualize what parts per million means.

The foundation published a million booklets called The Real Dirt on Farming and recently inserted 300,000 copies into the Globe and Mail.

Reviews were favourable, said Mackay.

Farm and Food Canada will also be the Canadian home for the Centre for Food Integrity, which is based in the United States.

NEWS GRAIN DISEASE

Realistic fusarium tolerance sought Pedigreed seed growers want changes to the Agricultural Pests Act

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A prominent member of the Alberta seed industry says it’s time for the province to review legislation that places an unmanageable regulatory burden on pedigreed seed growers.

Don Sendziak, past-president of the Alberta Seed Growers Association, said the Agricultural Pests Act places unrealistic expectations on seed growers and imposes unnecessary financial costs on the industry.

“It (the legislation) is hurting the pedigreed seed industry, especially in areas where fusarium … is abundant,” Sendziak said.

“We need to revisit this issue again and make sure that something can be done.”

The Agricultural Pests Act stipulates that all seed used for propagation must be free of fusarium graminearum, a cereal grain disease that limits yields, reduces grain quality and produces potentially harmful toxins.

Fusarium is already an established disease in many parts of the province. Evidence suggests it may be spreading to new areas in the province’s central and northern grain growing regions.

S endziak said the province should listen to members of the province’s fusarium action committee and amend the act.

“We were all in favour of opening up the act and establishing realistic tolerance levels, but so far that idea has fallen on deaf ears,” said Sendziak, who represented seed grower interests on the committee.

Pedigreed seed growers in Alberta are required to have their seed tested for the disease. Seed that tests positive must be sold as commercial grain rather than pedigreed seed.

Department officials declined to be interviewed about the act and the likelihood of legislative amendments, but Jeanna Friedley, a communications official with Alberta Agriculture, said in an Oct. 23 email that the disease continues to be found in Alberta.

The agriculture department is revising its fusarium management plan based on recommendations from the fusarium action committee and Alberta’s standing committee on resource stewardship, she added.

Sendziak said the pedigreed seed industry would like to see a more flexible act that recognizes the presence of the disease in some areas and promotes the use of preventive measures and best management practices in areas that are not yet affected. brian.cross@producer.com

CHICKEN GENETICS

Genetic research finds best birds for breeding

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — The modern broiler chicken is the result of intensive breeding programs , in which only 3,000 of one million males are selected.

Unlocking the mysteries of chicken DNA has been a successful approach to feeding a hungry world by producing a fast growing, heavier, meatier bird.

“If we hadn’t delivered with genetics improvements, it would be a really different story,” said Mitch Abrahamson of the international broiler breeding company Cobb Vantress.

“The results we got from this program were better than we thought they were going to be.”

Sixty billion chickens will be slaughtered worldwide this year, up from six billion in 1961. Modern birds are two pounds heavier, which means another 25 billion birds would have been required to meet world demand if that added weight had not been achieved.

The company first considered using genomic information in 2005, he said at the annual Livestock Gentec conference held in Edmonton Oct. 13-14.

It takes seven to eight years to develop new genetics, and the company has spent an additional $145 million on genetic research in the past five years.

“Genomics delivers some advantages to a breeding program,” he said. “Whether you can afford it or not is a different question.”

Genomic information revealed which birds were better than others, even when they looked identical.

“It turns out 40 percent of what were the best birds, we were throwing them away,” he said.

Each chick is identified with a unique wing band with a data chip that includes a 15 generation pedigree and 40 other points of information about the bird.

DNA has been used to check pedigrees, which found errors in parentage. Researchers were able to find the most productive roosters once these errors were corrected.

Phenotypic information is needed to develop genomic traits.

The research and breeding program starts with two million chicks and ends up selecting 36,000 females and keeping 3,000 males as breeders.

“We are really looking for that gold medal athlete, that really unique individual that can move genetically lots of these traits all at once. They are hard to find,” he said.

Researchers collect data on production traits and profitability.

They want breeder birds that offer better feed conversion, high meat yield, growth rate, egg production and strong, healthy legs, hearts and lungs.

They have data for more than 40 physical traits, and every bird is examined for gait scoring, joint health and blood oxygen levels.

Feed conversion is measured daily, which is how much the birds eat and how much they gain. Breast meat is measured with ultrasound and dissections.

An average broiler carcass is 28 percent breast meat, compared to 17 percent in 1990.

“You can change the product pretty quickly if you have the technology and the goal and desire to do that,” Abrahamson said.

The company may have succeeded in building birds with more breast meat, but the tradeoff has been complaints about tough, dry meat.

Improving meat quality is on the priority list for further research.

Other research is evaluating feed efficiency because that is 70 percent of the cost to raise a bird. Alternate feeds and greater efficiency are desirable.

Feed costs have increased to $34.88 per bird from $12.33 in 1990, which accounts for 70 percent of the cost of bird production.

However, improvements have been made: it now take 1.5 pounds of feed to make a pound a meat compared to 2.2 lb. of feed in 1990.

Other research is studying disease and ways to restrict antibiotic use, but pedigree farms are incredibly bios cure, which means it is hard to select for disease resistance when the birds are never exposed to anything.

Genomics will continue to be a valuable tool in developing better chickens, said Abrahamson.

Results were better than they thought they might be, and their achievements could probably be extended to other livestock sectors. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

NATURAL FERTILIZER

Manure smells pretty compared to fertilizer prices A U.S. researcher helps cost out manure value vs. cost of synthetic fertilizers

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Using manure as fertilizer offers many soil benefits but it should be done with a proper plan in place. |

FILE PHOTO

Manure is enjoying a renaissance as a crop fertilizer, says an American scientist.

“We’ve seen quite a bit more move toward that, connecting the livestock and crop producers for that purpose, since we’ve seen fertilizers rising in price,” said Amy Millmier Schmidt, an assistant professor in biological systems engineering and animal science at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.

Millmier Schmidt sometimes helps livestock producers determine the dollar value of manure by making calculations and comparing it to chemical fertilizer values, but crop producers are also adding livestock to their operations so that they can use the manure.

“We’ve actually seen farmers who will contract with an integrator to put up a building and grow pigs on their farm, mainly for the benefit of having that manure available on their cropland,” she said.

Manure lacks the perfect balance of nitrogen and phosphorus to meet crop needs, but it has other benefits, such as adding organic matter and carrying good microbes that break down nutrients to make them more available for crops.

“It kind of works into the whole idea of soil health, of improving the tilth of the soil, the water-holding capacity, just a lot of other physical and biological characteristics of the soil that you don’t get from a commercial fertilizer,” she said.

Application should happen before the ground is frozen and snow-covered due to the possibility of some runoff when it melts.

Millmier Schmidt encourages crop producers to do an integrated nutrient management plan that supplements livestock manure with commercial fertilizer.

“We really feel this provides the best outcome as far as yield,” she said. “We encourage producers to calibrate their equipment so they have a better idea if they are actually meeting the application rate they’re intending to their equipment.”

Laying out tarps to drive across works well for solid manure, while doing the same thing with a set of rain gauges is best for liquid manure.

Millmier Schmidt said it’s best to get manure below the soil surface as quickly as possible to reduce odour and limit nutrient loss.

“In no till systems, we usually encourage producers to either inject a liquid or incorporate (at least minimally) a liquid or solid that’s applied to the surface,” she said. “Application should happen before the ground is frozen and snow-covered due to the possibility of some runoff when it melts. If we have a mild winter, they may be able to apply into December.”

AMERICAN FARM BILL

U.S. ag groups oppose proposed insurance cap Now is not the time to pull the rug out from under farmers, says the American Soybean Association

MIKE STURK PHOTO

CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — American agriculture groups closed ranks to prevent a proposed federal budget deal from cutting crop insurance programs that were crafted as part of a farm bill enacted in 2014 following years of contentious debate.

The budget bill seeks to cap the rate of return for insurance providers at 8.9 percent from 2017-22, a move that was estimated to save US$3 billion and opponents say

We know it because we grow it.

We’re independent seed producers.

We grow Certified seed. We process it.

And we offer you the best value in RR2Y soybeans.

will gut the programs.

Both the House and Senate Agriculture committees, which shaped the farm bill, opposed the changes.

Crop insurance groups, which claim that the industry already has sustained $12 billion in cuts since 2008, said the plan proposed in the budget would be “devastating.”

“The budget proposal would essentially destroy the delivery system and the timely service that farmers have come to rely on to get back on their feet after times of disaster,” according to statement issued by the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau, National Crop Insurance Service, and American Association of Crop Insurers.

Sharp declines in crop prices during the past two years have highlighted the need for insurance, a lobbying group for soybean farmers said.

“Farmers need a stronger safety net, not a weaker one, and now is hardly the time to pull the rug out from under them by weakening the nation’s investment in the crop insurance program,” the American Soybean Association said in a statement.

The National Association of Wheat Growers and the National Corn Growers Association also issued statements opposing the cuts.

Monsanto plans R&D closures next year CHIC AG O, Ill. (Reuters) — Monsanto plans to close three research and development centres next year with a loss of 90 jobs.

The move comes as the company restructures operations to cut costs in a slumping agricultural commodity market.

The centres in Middleton, Wisconsin, and Mystic, Connecticut, focus on seed trait development research, while the one in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, focuses on plant screening and phenotyping.

The company plans to close the Middleton centre in the first half of next year, and the Mystic and Research Triangle Park locations in the second half of the year.

Monsanto, which owns the facilities in Wisconsin and Connecticut, said it is looking for buyers for those properties and for a replacement tenant for its leased property in North Carolina.

Monsanto has 22,500 employees at more than 400 facilities worldwide in more than 60 countries.

It said earlier this month that it planned to cut 2,600 jobs and restructure its operations in a bid to cut costs. These planned overall job cuts would affect 11.6 percent of its regular workforce.

INVASIVE SPECIES

Prevent phragmites from getting stranglehold Invasive phragmites are moving west and pose a threat to waterfowl

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

CHATHAM, Ont. — An invasive species that has spread across southern Ontario now threatens the West.

Wetland ecologist Janice Gilbert told an environmental conference Oct. 21 that invasive phragmites are a significant threat to prairie pothole, wetland, river and lake environments across southern Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

The plant, which has not yet been scientifically categorized, should not be mistaken for benign phragmites americanus. The invasive species is a water’s edge plant that covers thousands of acres in some parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes.

“It’s important that we give the West a head’s up,” Gilbert said.

“I’ve talked with people from Ducks Unlimited who’ve said ducks can get into a stand of phragmites and cannot find their way out. We’ve been finding dead turtles in stands of phragmites as well.”

The species has no natural enemies in North America.

The seed can travel up to 10 kilometres, or broken plant material can float to new locations, where it may take root. Once in place, rhizomes and stolen (root-like stems) allow the species to colonize wide swaths of the landscape.

Gilbert advised western Canadians to learn about the plant and

Invasive phragmites from Eurasia lines thrive in a deep ditch next to a cornfield near Dresden, Ont. The species has long been identified as phragmites australis but recent research has refuted this designation, according to Dr. Janice Gilbert. It is closely related to phragmites americanus, a species that is not an environmental concern in North America. | JEFFREY CARTER PHOTO stamp it out wherever it’s found so that it does not become a permanent feature of their landscape.

“If we had known in the 1970s

what an issue it would become in Ontario, we would have jumped on it, at least I hope that’s what we would have done,” she said.

Eradication efforts have had success in Ontario, but it’s an uphill battle. The strategy has been to spray glyphosate followed by roll-

ing and a controlled burn. Spot spraying conducted the following year is important to control the escapes.

“The potential for re-growth is high,” said Pete Cloud, councillor with the Kettle and Stony Point Nation on the south shores of Lake Huron.

“Once you control an area, you need touchups every year.”

Spraying isn’t as efficient as it should be because the chemistries registered in Canada can be applied only when no standing water is present.

Gilbert said Ontario’s natural resources ministry may be close to changing that.

Formulations using glyphosate and imazapyr can both be used over water in the United States.

He said it’s possible the products have not yet been registered in Canada because the country is seen as a small market despite the prodigious phragmites population. There may also be concern that the general public will react negatively to herbicide use in wetlands.

“We’re not saying we’re going to be poisoning wetlands. It’s going to be done responsibly with safe chemicals,” she said.

“Not only is it the only option, it’s the most effective and environmentally responsible way to control phragmites.”

Gilbert believes Western Canada has an opportunity to keep the problem from spreading.

Invasive phragmites were first identified in Ontario in 1948 on Walpole Island in the St. Clair River delta, south of Lake Huron.

A concerted effort to address the issue began only in the past decade.

FARM MANAGEMENT

CATTLE GRAZING

Workplace safety in the spotlight

Killing frost not enough to make alfalfa safe

Safety training videos key component of university curriculum This is part of a series exploring how farmers, ag consultants and service providers are professionalizing agriculture by integrating the many skills required by today’s complex and challenging industry. This week: The importance of farm safety training to keep employees safe, and the farms viable.

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Young farmers expect to learn a lot about soil science, plant science, farm management and animal production when they attend university to study agriculture.

That’s what generations of farmers have studied.

However, while those foundations are still dominant in university and college agriculture curricula, some might be surprised at what programs such as the University of Manitoba’s School of Agriculture are focusing on these days.

“The area we are focusing on right now for additional training is farm safety,” said school director Michele Rogalsky.

“We perceive that’s a critical management function.”

Farming has long been among the most dangerous occupations in Canada with many farmers injured every year by accidents with machinery, gases, bacteria, disease and animals.

Much attention recently has centred on the tragedy that occurred with the Bott family in Alberta, in which three children died in a truck load of canola. However,

MICHELE ROGALSKY SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR

m y r i a d o t h e r i n j u r i e s h av e occurred across the Prairies this year, as they do every year.

An injury or death for the person who does most of the farming can destroy the farm as a viable unit.

As well, many farmers have employees, and they need to ensure they are able to offer safe workplaces that conform to workplace safety standards and keep the farm safe from legal liability.

That’s why agricultural education programs are taking farm safety more seriously and making it part of the core of their farm management training.

Garrett Sawatzky, one of the University of Manitoba’s farm management instructors, said increas-

ing farm safety knowledge and understanding is “the biggest change we’ve seen in the last couple of years.”

It’s now part of a core curriculum that was once dominated by hardcore management and production fundamentals.

“It’s been really overlooked, and any chance we get we try to incorporate it,” said Sawatzky.

However, Rogalsky said that won’t be done just using the old methods of classroom instruction.

The School of Agriculture and organizations such as Keystone Agricultural Producers and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association have been developing safety training videos that can be accessed using smartphones and tablets.

These videos are increasingly become essential farm management tools for young farmers.

“They’re not going to drive in to the university and sit in a classroom,” Rogalsky said.

“If you can chunk it into 20 minute pieces, they can watch it while waiting to deliver their grain at the elevator.” ed.white@producer.com

Frost ruptures the plants cells, making it even more likely to cause bloat in the rumen of cattle

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Cattle producers sometimes believe that alfalfa is safe to graze once a killing frost occurs.

However, the crop can still be a major cause of bloat, depending on the stage of alfalfa maturity when the frost hits.

The risk of bloat severity decreases as an alfalfa plant matures.

“In cases where a field has experienced a frost event but the alfalfa is still at that vegetative plant stage, the frost event can actually make it more susceptible or still be at a risk of bloat because the frost ruptures those plant cells,” says Sarah Sommerfeld, a regional forage specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture in Outlook.

“Alfalfa in the vegetative stage is rapidly digested in the rumen. This rapid digestion process produces large quantities of gases and foam in the rumen, which can result in bloat. Following a frost event, the risk of bloat does not decrease until the alfalfa plants begin to dry down.

“When you think of alfalfa after a frost event, that plant is still very lush and succulent. If it’s in a vegetative stage, the frost event causes the plant cell walls to start breaking down. This actually increases the

rate of digestion in the rumen.”

However, the risk can be managed by waiting one to two weeks for plants to really dry down, resulting in less rapid digestion in the rumen.

Nutrient loss occurs during drying, and producers need to assess the risks and benefits. “(However,) the alfalfa plants will maintain sufficient forage quality to meet the animal requirements at that time of year,” Sommerfeld said.

She said producers who want to reduce the risk of bloat even further can grow non-bloating legumes.

“But keep in mind the management they’ll need to implement on their farm to well manage the bloat risk,” she said.

The main advantage of using alfalfa is higher yields.

Other legumes, such as bird’sfoot trefoil, cicer milkvetch and sainfoin, have different components that make them non-bloat.

Sanfoin and bird’s-foot trefoil have condensed tannins that attach to the protein parts of the plant and slow down the rate of digestion in the rumen, reducing the chance of bloat.

With cicer milkvetch, the plant cell walls are formed in a way that slows down the rate of digestion in the rumen and provides safety while grazing.

N on-bloating legumes include sainfoin, cicer milkvetch and bird’sfoot trefoil.

Bacon in the news — but this time about price FROM THE ARCHIVES

50 YEARS AGO: NOV. 4, 1965

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: NOV. 7, 1940 The bacon board reduced prices by 70 cents per 100 pounds, bringing the price for a sizeable Wiltshire side for export to $17. Agriculture minister James Gardiner and board chair J.G. Taggart were in London negotiating a new bacon agreement with the United Kingdom.

More than 150 people attended t h e S a s k a t o o n Fu r B re e d e r s Association’s fourth annual field day, which featured a large display of fox and mink and a demonstration of the most desirable types of animals for pelting purposes.

Larger farms and better roads prompted Sask Pool to urge mandatory use of reflective signs on all slow moving vehicles, mainly farm machinery. The pool made the pitch to members of the Saskatchewan legislature’s highway traffic and safety committee.

Prairie farmers would soon be able to contribute grain gifts to help drought stricken producers in Eastern Canada. National Farmers Union president Roy Atkinson said farmers could tell their elevator agent the amount of the gift and the agent would issue a ticket for that amount to fund headquarters.

25 YEARS AGO: NOV. 8, 1990 Ontario farm leaders who were in Ottawa trying to draw attention to the income crisis facing their members complained that they were becoming tired of being ignored while their western counterparts received all the attention from the federal government.

This was the first paragraph of a short story on page 15: “If terms

The conference, organized by Manitoba Agriculture, would feature sessions on accounting packages that work on a cash or accrual basis, GST and tax management systems and customizing a databased program for livestock.

10 YEARS AGO: NOV. 3, 2005 An American company received a Canadian patent for the infamous terminator gene technolog y . T h e s y s t e m’s d e v e l o p e r claimed it was designed to stop genetically modified crops from spreading, but some farm groups and environmentalists worried that the ultimate goal was to extend corporate control over the seed industry.

Former Reform party leader Preston Manning encouraged farmers to build a coalition of sustainable interests with urban environmentalists as a way to bring real political change. He said producers should present themselves less as farmers and rural residents and more as “stewards of the land.” Such a coalition would be similar to what was used to bring the Reform party together, he added. bruce.dyck@producer.com

South Africa drought outlook CAPE TOWN, South Africa (Reuters) — The South African Weather Service said an El Nino weather system, which was already forecast to bring drought conditions for much of the southern hemisphere’s summer, now looks like it will extend into autumn next year.

Dry conditions last year cut South Africa’s staple corn crop by a third and the prospect of another drought pushed prices in July to record highs, raising the prospect of food price inflationary pressure in Africa’s most advanced economy.

“Most models are showing the strengthening of an El Nino episode towards the summer season, with the expectation to continue throughout the autumn season,” the weather service said in its monthly regional climate bulletin.

El Nino is a warming of ocean surface temperatures in the eastern and central Pacific that occurs every few years. It can bring floods to some regions but in southern Africa it generally heralds drought.

South African corn farmers intend to plant 6.3 million acres in the 2016 season, the lowest level since 2011, the country’s Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) said.

Arson suspected in lab fire RENNES, France, (Reuters) — A Monsanto research centre in western France suffered heavy fire damage in a suspected arson attack early Oct. 28, the official in charge of the site said.

The official, Jakob Witten, said police investigators “strongly suspect it was a crime as no electrical or other sources were found.”

The fire was ignited from two different places at the site, where about 10 people work and which is specialized in corn research. The smell of gasoline lingered near the building, which had heavy damage in its reception hall and offices.

“No Monsanto sites in Europe have so far been the victim of fires of criminal origin, this is unprecedented violence,” Witten said.

Novozymes launches biofuel enzyme COPENHAGEN, Denmark (Reuters) — Novozymes has launched a new enzyme for bio-

The Danish company said the product, Avantec Amp, improves yield and throughput in corn ethanol production and significantly reduces the need for urea, surfactants and ammonia.

A typical ethanol plant would be able to increase net profit by $3.3 million by using the product, Novozymes said, an important selling point as biofuel makers’ margins have been pressured due to low oil prices recently.

The world’s largest industrial enzyme maker has lost around five percentage points in market share in the U.S. ethanol enzymes market in the past 12 months and now has a share of around 55 percent, a spokesperson said. Its main rivals are Dupont and Dutch firm DSM. Novozymes’ enzymes have been aimed at producing better ethanol yields.

But as ethanol prices have fallen together with oil prices, ethanol producers have increased production of the side product DDGS, used for animal feed, for which prices have gone up.

California may add meat to cancer alert list Processed meat may be forced to carry warning labels after the World Health Organization put it in the same cancer risk category as tobacco and asbestos 65 warnings would be preempted if processed meats were added to the Proposition 65 list.”

The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer put processed meats in its Group One category, along with tobacco and asbestos, products for which the agency says there is “sufficient evidence” of cancer links.

Any move to add red or processed meat to the Proposition 65 list would be challenged by the industry, said Mark Dopp, senior vicepresident of regulatory affairs and

(Reuters) — California is examining new World Health Organization findings to determine whether to add red meat and foods like hot dogs, sausages and bacon to a cancer-alert list, setting the stage for a potential battle with the meat industry over warning labels.

The inclusion of meat and processed meat on the list could reduce consumer demand, hurting major producers and processors like Hormel Foods Corp. and JBS USA. It could also open the door wider for litigation against meat companies from consumers diagnosed with certain types of cancer.

California has often been at the forefront of consumer-oriented initiatives, particularly regarding agriculture. It rolled out laws for larger chicken cages and restrictions on antibiotic use for livestock ahead of much of the rest of the country.

Now the meat industry is focused on what the state will do after a unit of the WHO said processed meat can cause colorectal cancer in humans. It said the risk of developing cancer is small, but increases with the amount of meat consumed.

The meat industry maintains that its products are safe to eat as part of a balanced diet.

California’s Proposition 65, an initiative approved in 1986, requires that the state keep a list of all chemicals and substances known to increase cancer risks.

Producers of such products are required to provide “clear and reasonable” warnings for consumers.

Some Proposition 65 experts expect California to add processed meats to the list.

The meat industry is adamant it will escape having to put warning labels on packages of bacon or hot dogs. It says a 2009 California appellate court ruling confirmed federal authority over labels for meat from plants inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“Meats will never have to be labelled in the state of California,” said Jim Coughlin, a consultant hired by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

But the situation on labelling processed meats is not known, according to the state agency assessing the WHO findings, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.

Federal law preempts warnings on fresh meat, but “our understanding of how federal law governs processed meats is less clear,” said Allan Hirsch, chief deputy director of the California office.

The institute represents companies including Cargill Inc., Tyson Foods Inc. and Kraft Heinz Co. But a legal fight could follow. Private lawyers, or even the state of California, could file lawsuits in an attempt to overturn the 2009 ruling and force meat companies to apply labels, Coughlin said.

Red meat is less likely than processed meat to be added to the list because it was classified as “probably carcinogenic.”

California Proposition 65 requires the state to list substances and chemicals that increase cancer risk, and according to the WHO, that now includes processed meats like sausages and hot dogs. | FILE PHOTO

The National Milk Producers Federation, which represents more than 30 dairy producer co-operatives, sees opportunity in the deal.

The organization feels there may be opportunities to export more U.S. milk and milk products to Canada and Japan.

“New Zealand did not get the unfettered access to the U.S. market that it long sought, but Japan and

Canada did not open their markets to the degree we sought,” said federation president Jim Mulhern.

“On an A through F grading scale for TPP, it was long clear the agreement would not score an A. The preliminary information suggests that the result is not an F.” Mulhern said a detailed assessment is impossible until the final wording of the agreement is made available.

Gene Paul, legislative co-ordinator with the National Farmers Organization, said its directors have not yet taken a position on the TPP, but he feels the deal is taking the dairy industry in the wrong

The NFO is a co-operative whose members are largely small to midsized dairy producers in New York state, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and part of Iowa.

“There’s a philosophy in our country: all trade is good, no matter how bad it is,” Paul said.

“We’re concerned on a broad basis about ruining the market for everyone. We are not in favour of dumping product that would endanger Canada’s supply management system.”

Paul said his organization has long supported a growth management approach to the U.S. dairy

FACT #29: Seed production is a priority for Proven Seed. We work with CSGA growers to produce,

industry that would involve similar principles as Canada’s supply management system.

Some farmers favour the expansion of trade opportunities into Canada, but they tend to be larger dairy operators, he added.

“This deal is for large agri-business, for the people who actually do the trading,” he said.

“I don’t think down the road farmers are going to get any real benefit from it.”

Paul said American dairy farmers have been struggling, although the decline in feed prices has helped.

trade could eventually provide opportunities on both sides of the border.

However, he said the opportunity for U.S. producers is small at the moment because Canada is offering only 3.25 percent access to its market.

“There’s not a big hurt to Canada; therefore there’s not a big opportunity for us,” Novakovic said.

“What the TPP is signalling to Canadian dairy farmers is that a crack has opened for supply management. It’s small, but cracks only get bigger.”

He said Canadian dairy farmers looking to get out of the industry within the next few years have little to be concerned about, but it’s a different story for those looking to pass their operation on to the next generation.

“You need to start thinking about a world without supply management.”

An end to Canada’s supply management system would likely change the movement of milk and milk products within North America, Novakovic said.

Opportunities for dairy farmers in Ontario and Quebec would likely open up in the northeastern U.S., but movement from south to north would likely also occur.

Producers in the western U.S., where the industry is concentrated, would have an opportunity to ship milk and milk products north into Western Canada. Milk and milk products have tended to move from east to west under supply management, he added.

Novakovic said farmgate milk prices in Canada were 18 percent higher than in the U.S. from 1991 to 2000 and profitability is also higher, though not dramatically so.

As well, Canadian dairy farmers enjoy a larger share of retail prices, which tend to be higher in Canada — 23 percent in the case of cheese from 2005-13.

Novakovic said supply management appears to have afforded Canadian farmers with a higher quality of life, based on a study he was involved in some years ago that compared dairy farms in eastern Ontario with those in New York state.

New Zealand, Australia and Ireland are among the world’s lowest cost producers of milk with New Zealand being the larger player in milk exports, he added.

Test plots of thebaine poppies near Lethbridge show that the plants thrive in the dry, sunny climate of southern Alberta. | API LABS PHOTOS PHARMACEUTICALS

New crop popping up in Alta. shows potential Lethbridge test plots show the region’s low humidity and bountiful sunshine make it suitable for growing thebaine poppies

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Flowers may bloom metaphorically as well as physically in 2017 if Lethbridge-based API Labs is successful in its bid to grow poppies for the pharmaceutical market.

The company has been working for nine years to obtain the necessary federal approvals to grow thebaine poppies, establish a seed cleaning plant and build an alkaloid processing plant to produce ingredients for pain medications.

API managing director Glen Metzler says the company might be able to contract poppy acres with growers in 2017 for a 2018 crop.

Test plots indicate poppies thrive in the southern Alberta climate because of low humidity, long hours of sunlight and cool nights during the growing season.

API has been testing the crop since 2013 in small plots and largerscale 20-acre plots.

“We had some good results from it,” said Metzler.

“We had some issues with the heat because the seeding was so late. We didn’t receive our licence until the first of June so we couldn’t seed any earlier.”

The primary hurdles for API involve security and managing worries about theft of the poppies in the field or theft of the seed pods and upper stalks from which the pharmaceutical ingredients are derived.

Thebaine, the ingredient derived from the poppies, is a controlled substance under federal rules.

However, theft — or diversion, as Metzler terms it — is not a problem in England, Australia and other countries where poppies are grown for the same purpose.

Poppies are among the most profitable crops grown in Austra-

lia, and Metzler said that country is now expanding its growing area to three additional states to meet demand for the crop and interest from farmers.

“We’ve been, all along, saying Canada should be a growing area,” said Metzler.

“We’re letting the others take away the market opportunity that Canada has. We’re relying completely on imported material. So you have to ask yourself, health care costs, as well as security of supply? We don’t have those opportunities. Why are we not creating these kind of jobs for our kids?”

Metzler also has his eye on the U.S. market for thebaine-derived drugs, which is estimated at $5 billion. barb.glen@producer.com

YOU’RE IN CONTROL You’ve created a controlled environment for successful feeder production – do the same for your price.

API LABS MANAGING DIRECTOR

Farmer returns from the crop are expected to be as good or better than what is received for canola, said Metzler. Half of API’s 170 investors are farmers, and its board of directors has experience in agriculture and marketing as well as law enforcement.

The manufacturing plant, should it be built, could employ up to 300 people.

Metzler said he is hopeful that the groundwork laid with the former Conservative government will hold up under the new Liberal regime.

Approvals are needed from Health Canada for the project to proceed as API envisions.

Canadians are prescribed $500 to $600 million worth of poppyderived drugs a year. Such drugs

PROFILE

Bertram Stewart proud of 4-H involvement In the show ring since 1944, Stewart developed an eye for award winning cattle and has travelled the world to judge at competitions

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Bertram Stewart says he was pleased to be inducted into the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame. | BERTRAM FAMILY PHOTO

4-H mentor Bertram Stewart has seen it all.

The Elora, Ont., man made his first trip to the World Dairy Expo in 1969 and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed one since.

Stewart has been connected with some of the best female cattle to ever show at the world expo in Madison, Wisconsin.

Since 1990, he has also mentored Ontario 4-H members who compete in the national 4-H dairy cattle

judging contest.

Now, at age 83, Stewart is showing no signs of slowing down. In May 1960, Stewart asked his boss from Agro Acres to buy a seven-week-old calf, which would go on to change the lives of many. At the time, Stewart paid $4,500 for the calf named Pansy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The day I bought the calf, my mother phoned me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bertram, please be careful. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

Stewart said.

However, it did not take long for

the investment to pay off because Pansy was nominated for the All Canadian as a junior yearling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only cow to produce two daughters that were grand champion and reserve at the Royal Winter Fair (in Toronto) that same year,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been done before or since. They went to Madison and won as the best three females. We sold her last son for $600,000.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart was one of eight siblings raised on an Ayrshire dairy farm.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Had the farm been Holstein, we probably wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been much better off,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart.

He joined 4-H when he was 12, following in the footsteps of his older brothers and sisters and encouraged by his parents, who served as judges at various competitions In 1959, Stewart found employment with a wealthy Italian family and helped them establish a popular herd called Agro Acres in Waterdown, Ont. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably that was one of the big breaks in my life,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was lucky that the cattle I bought for the Agro Brothers turned out to be pretty exceptional.

Maybe I got more publicity out of it than the Agro family. We were a close unit situation.â&#x20AC;?

It was his early success with Pansy and her offspring that led Stewart to be invited to judge.

He has since judged cow shows across Canada and the United States and has travelled to more than 17 countries outside North America to judge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During all those years, after I got too old for 4-H, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t instantly become a club leader, but I did do quite a bit of assisting different calf clubs with 4-H work and so forth,â&#x20AC;? said Stewart.

Stewart became involved in 4-H again when he moved to Halton County to start his own business buying and selling cattle. He was club leader for 43 years before stepping down eight years ago because of his age.

This is when Stewart helped establish the TD Canadian 4H Dairy Classic, a dairy show for 4-Hers at the Royal that grew from a small show to 360 to 365 head.

A few years later, Stewart was asked to be a fundraiser for Holstein Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I asked the people from Holstein Canada that, if we raise money, what will happen to it? And they said that if the committee comes up with a good idea, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support us. So, we came up with the idea that we should have a dairy 4-H judging competition in the province. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on since that time. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now in our 26th year.â&#x20AC;?

Stewart also became increasingly involved in the cow showing business as large herd operators from as far away as Mexico and Brazil hired him to show off their cattle.

While his wife stayed at home and raised their family, Stewart travelled.

As he looks back on his career, Stewart said he is most proud of the show industry he helped create and the people he trained that are now leading shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes me feel very good, seeing how well things are going,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Stewart was inducted into the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame in 2010, which he said was,â&#x20AC;&#x153;without a doubt, the most exciting thing that happened to me.â&#x20AC;?

In 2005, Stewart was awarded the Klussendorf Award in the U.S. and was added to the Walk of Fame in Milton, Ont.

FOOD SECURITY

Hunger gnaws at Canada’s north as Liberals vow relief The Trudeau government promised to add $40 million to the Nutrition North food subsidy program FORT SIMPSON, N.W.T. (Thomson Reuters Foundation) — Shipping food to this remote village is never easy, but when the river linking it to the rest of Canada’s sprawling Northwest Territories starts freezing in November, groceries must be airlifted in by helicopter.

Logistical challenges like this push food prices to unaffordable levels for many local residents in Canada’s far north, particularly for fresh fruit and vegetables.

Hunger rates across the north are far higher than the Canadian average, with the region’s indigenous peoples particularly hard hit.

More than 60 percent of children in Nunavut, Canada’s most northern territory with a mostly indigenous population, aren’t getting enough to eat, according to a campaign group.

The rates are lower in other northern areas: slightly more than 30 percent in the Northwest Territories and less than 20 percent in the Yukon.

“People make do and make ends meet,” said Diana Bronson, head of Food Secure Canada, a research group. “The cost of living is high and incomes are low (in parts of the north). Children are going to bed hungry every night.”

The newly elected Liberal government has promised to spend an additional $40 million over four years on the Nutrition North food subsidy program, on top of the $60 million currently spent annually.

Campaigners welcome the move, but some say money alone won’t be enough to deal with the north’s hunger challenges.

At Northern Grocery, the main store in Fort Simpson, a kilogram of wrinkly red peppers costs $9.59, while an avocado is about $3, nearly double the price in other parts of Canada.

One shopper said it’s not uncommon to pay $12 for a single pepper in February, which makes healthy eating an expensive endeavor.

“We do our best to provide the healthiest food we can,” store manager John Dempsey said as customers chatted and local residents in camouflaged hunting jackets bought pizza, orange juice and bananas.

“Transportation is a major cost due to the length of the supply chain.”

He said the store, which is a seven hour drive from the territorial capital Yellowknife, does its best to keep prices stable, even as transportation costs vary because of the weather.

The local ferry cannot operate when the Liard River connecting Fort Simpson to the territory’s main road is freezing or thawing in autumn or spring, Trucks must unload food on one side of the river and have it transported into town on a helicopter.

During winter months, trucks drive across ice roads to access the town.

Norma Kassi, a researcher on indigenous communities, didn’t grow up waiting for helicopters to bring groceries to the neighbourhood store. Like thousands of others, she used to get most of her food directly from the land.

An indigenous Gwich’in from the

Yukon, she grew up eating caribou, beavers and fish hunted by family and friends. But like thousands of others, she is now dependent on the grocery store.

The caribou population in Canada’s north has crashed, climate change is making it more dangerous to hunt because of melting ice and unpredictable weather, and fish the family once ate are now contaminated with pollutants, she said.

“Almost everything we ate when I was a kid came from the land,” said 61-year-old Kassi, from the Arctic Institute of Community-Based Research.

Traditional foods (caribou and other animals) are inaccessible nowadays due to climate change.... That’s what is causing a lot of the problem.

NORMA KASSI RESEARCHER

“Traditional foods (caribou and other animals) are inaccessible nowadays due to climate change....

That’s what is causing a lot of the problem.”

This shift away from traditional food toward imported goods shipped into the north at high cost has had a profound impact on the region’s indigenous people, she said.

Nunavut now faces the “highest documented rate of food insecurity for any Indigenous population living in a developed countr y,” according to the Council of Canadian Academies, a governmentbacked research group.

Indigenous people in the north are six times more likely to face hunger than other Canadians, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food said following

a visit to Canada in 2012.

Kassi supports the incoming government’s plan to increase subsidies for the Nutrition North program, but she said the region needs to produce more of its own food.

Rather than simply subsidizing the transportation of food from the south, which is the basis of the Nutrition North program, she believes the government should invest in greenhouses for community gardens and training so local people can raise livestock.

“We (indigenous people) want to be involved,” she said. “In a country that’s rich with lots of resources, this (hunger) is uncalled for.”

GM IMPORTS

EU halts GM opting-out option BRUSSELS, Belgium (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; European lawmakers rejected a proposal that would have allowed countries to restrict or ban the use of imported genetically modified crops that have secured EU approval.

The European Parliamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment committee rejected the draft law 47 votes to three, many arguing that the proposal was unworkable and would lead to the reintroduction of border controls.

The bill was designed to mirror legislation that allows member countries to opt out of using GM crops that have been approved for c u l t i v a t i o n i n t h e Eu ro p e a n Union.

A majority of EU member states this month requested opt-outs for a Monsanto GM corn variety, the only GM crop approved for cultiva-

tion in the EU. By contrast, more than 60 GM crops are approved for import into the bloc. Such approvals cover consumption by both humans and animals, but in practice they are all used as animal feed, most being grades of corn and soybeans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A clear majority in the committee does not want to jeopardize the internal market,â&#x20AC;? said environment Committee chair Giovanni La Via. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, the existing legislation should remain in place and member states should shoulder their responsibilities and take a decision together.â&#x20AC;?

EuropaBio, a lobby group that represents the GM industry, welcomed the vote and urged the European Commission to withdraw the planned legislation.

Too much of a good thing: U.S. farmers grapple with another supercrop Elevators are out of storage so farmers are forced to sell at low prices LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn./CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. elevators are filling up so fast with a bumper harvest that they are storing crops in the open and refusing delivery from farmers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have contracts.

The scramble is a reflection of the exceptional yields and weaker than expected U.S. exports that continue to affect farmers, storage operators and traders.

The supply glut means the outlook for farm incomes and prices might get even bleaker than now painted by official forecasts.

Growers who are still hoping to wait out the downswing want to store as much of their crops as possible, but elevators are rejecting spot deliveries because of a lack of space, in some cases for longer than farmers can remember. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of storage,â&#x20AC;? said Richard Guse, a Minnesota farmer who also co-owns a grain elevator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our next best option is to find a place to sell it, so you get that harvest pressure.â&#x20AC;?

Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, which account for a third of U.S. corn and a quarter of soybean production, have produced record yields thanks to near-perfect conditions after bad weather early in the growing season suggested that yields could drop.

As a result, farmers in southwestern Minnesota are paid 15 cents less per bushel for their corn and soybeans than they would if there was enough space, said Ed Usset, grain marketing economist for the University of Minnesotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Farm Financial Management.

It is resulting in an even deeper dent in farm incomes, considering that the cash price for corn in the area is about US$3.25 a bushel, already well below the estimated $4 production cost, Usset said.

The squeeze, which is caused by

storage bottlenecks, comes as South American farmers plant massive crops this fall, adding to record global soy inventories and near-record corn stocks.

A strong dollar is weighing on U.S. exports, crop prices are already down 50 percent from their 2012 p e a k s a n d f a r m i n c o m e s a re expected to drop 36 percent this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a $6 home run, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a base hit.

ANDY PULK MINNESOTA FARMER

Poor returns could prompt farmers to idle some of their less-productive farmland. They may also cut back on fertilizer or premium seeds, which could lower yields.

For the time being, farmers are struggling to make space for record harvests or trying to sell it, even if it means taking a further hit.

Crystal Valley Cooperative, which owns elevators in southern Minnesota, sold grain and loaded it on trains at harvest for the first time in years instead of waiting until after harvest to get better prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave up a margin opportunity, but just to make sure we could handle everything,â&#x20AC;? said grain division manager Jeff Spence. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Prices for next spring deliveries are at least 23 cents per bushel higher than spot prices.

The co-opâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s large rail-loading terminal in Madelia, Minn., temporarily stored 200,000 bu. of soybeans in the open air for the first time. The move risked damage from rain, which is a cost the eleva-

tor would bear.

As well, a smaller elevator in Lake Crystal, Minn., emptied out a machinery shed to store soybeans.

Crystal Valley gained new clients after rival co-op Working for Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Success refused to take soybean deliveries from growers in southern Minnesota and northern Iowa without binding contracts, Spence said.

Mike Minnehan, WFSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicepresident of operations, said the re s t r i c t i o n s w e re n e c e s s a r y because farmers wanted to pay to keep crops in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storage facilities without selling them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of pre-selling (by farmers to the elevator), so you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have an opportunity to haul it out as it was coming in,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Minnehan said the company might make exceptions now that traffic is slowing and the harvest is winding down.

Elevators cannot sell crops in storage and move them to processors and ethanol plants until farmers agree to sell.

The crisis may encourage farmers to prepare for big harvests by signing forward contracts to ensure they can make deliveries or by securing temporary storage, Usset said.

The feed grain glut is a boon for hog and poultry producers, feed makers, soy processors and ethanol plants in the western Midwest because it gives them some of the lowest costs in years.

Some of the more fortunate, who like Minnesota farmer Andy Pulk still have storage space, continue to hold out for better prices. Pulk is hoping that corn futures will rise to $4.50 per bushel from $4 for the futures contract representing the next harvest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a $6 home run, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a base hit,â&#x20AC;? he said.

ACQUISITION

Renn Mill Center buys rights to Jiffy agricultural equipment

BY D’ARCE MCMILLAN SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Renn Mill Center Inc. has bought the manufacturing and distribution rights to the Jiffy brand of agriculture equipment, including the Jiffy bale shredder, hay rake and harrow drawbar.

Renn bought Jiffy from ProAll International Manufacturing Inc.,

an equipment maker in Olds, Alta., where Jiffy products have been manufactured since 1959. Renn also bought the Pro-Care line of lawn maintenance equipment from ProAll. Price was not disclosed.

ProAll’s success with Reimer concrete mixers led to its decision to focus on the industrial side and sell the agricultural line.

“We had to make a choice; we

couldn’t continue supporting both sides of the business,” ProAll chief executive officer Larry Koop said in a news release. He is pleased the Jiffy name will live on with Renn.

Renn president Doug Hilsabeck said the deal fits with his company’s desire to expand its product line.

“We’ve been looking for a brand of equipment that fits well with ours in t e r m s o f p rov e n q u a l i t y a n d

dependability that earns the trust of farmers. Jiffy has been a trusted name in agriculture for many years.”

Hilsabeck said in a news release that his company, located east of Lacombe, Alta., has increased the size of its manufacturing facility and invested in automation and robotics over the past five years.

Renn makes grain processing equipment for livestock operations

and grain bagging equipment.

“Jiffy complements our product offering with its hay processing and crop production equipment and lets us step into the hay production market…,” said Hilsabeck.

Renn plans to merge the distribution networks and expand market access to both brands. darce.mcmillan@producer.com

Electric drive tractor hits the dirt Electricity is more efficient than mechanical drive systems, which could save farmers money over the long haul

BY RON LYSENG WINNIPEG BUREAU

The electric drive farm tractor is no longer just a dream.

The Autonomous Tractor Corp. of Fargo, North Dakota, delivered its first unit last month.

The company made its debut at Fargo’s Big Iron Show in September 2012, when it introduced the Spirit Autonomous eDrive tractor.

The odd looking machine left farmers puzzled by the fact that it did not have a cab. Where does the driver sit?

The answer is that ATC’s gold coloured, toaster-shaped proto-

type was designed to be remote controlled, guided by prescription field pattern maps working with radio towers, which broadcast the company’s proprietar y Laser Radio Navigation System.

The Spirit introduced three new technologies: • Electric drive.

• A unique tractor chassis with two diesel engines.

• No onboard operator controls.

However, introducing three new technologies in the same tractor turned out to be too much of a challenge.

As a result, ATC decided to bring its new technologies to market in

three distinct stages.

The first stage would be a conversion process to install eDrive on existing high-horsepower North American tractors.

With an increase in fuel efficiency of 10 to 20 percent over straight diesel, ATC head Craig Schulz said the eDrive conversion tractors should draw attention to the electric drive concept.

“So instead of focusing on a completely redesigned, cab-less tractor right away, we’ve start retrofitting farmers’ existing tractors with eDrive diesel-electric. And in doing so, we got to market much more quickly,” he said.

“We just delivered our first diesel-electric conversion to a major customer, Family Farm Group near St. Louis, Missouri. (Their farmer members) operate about 1.5 million acres in 70 locations and they have 496 tractors. Their first model 8760 with eDrive is at work right now in the southern states. They’ll be paying close attention to the performance and gathering data to give us feedback.”

Schulz said the ATC retrofit system is designed for older tractors from 200 to 600 horsepower. On the big tractors, the company replace the original engine with two 202

h.p. Isuzu diesels, each of which drives a 200 h.p. generator.

The generators power four 125 h.p. oil-cooled electric wheel motors, each of which is controlled by its own proprietary variable frequency drive. One joystick manages steering, speed and implement control. The price tag is $225,000.

New M7 ‘definitely an ag tractor’ The higher horsepower tractor line is Tier 4 compatible

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Kubota is getting bigger.

Martin Carrier of Kubota Canada said during Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont., that the company’s new M7 chassis tractor line, which was released this fall, pack 130 to 170 horsepower and an optional continuously variable transmission into a new, heavier duty frame.

The bigger M7 tractors, as well as the M6 line formerly called GX, get new Tier 4 compatible engines, including the associated diesel exhaust fluid tanks.

Kent Brown of Kubota in the United States said the company has added a new, heavy-duty loader with a closed centre as well as 29 gallon per minute hydraulics.

“Add the premium cab and it gets the ISOBUS ready system and controller … it’s definitely an ag tractor now,” he said.

Rob Allison of Kubota Canada said the company has been expanding its commercial farm lineup and recently added a new exhibition building at the Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock.

“We want the market to understand we are serious, Kubota is serious, about the larger farm business,” he said.

“Out west we know most farmers will buy a 130 to 170 h.p. for loader work and for haying. In Eastern Canada, that is a field tractor sized machine.”

The company has entered commercial agriculture through the forage and livestock sectors.

Carrier said the machines have been well tested in western Canadian winters.

“Can it grab two five-by-six round bales frozen into the ground and lift them? Yes it will,” he said.

Dave Palmer of Kubota’s hay tools division said the company’s silage baler and an expanded line of rakes and tedders was added this year.

The company is marketing its Kabota branded Kvernland forage equipment.

“It had in the past a very, very good name up in Canada and we are in our second year selling them in the U.S.,” he said while attending The Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois.

Kubota acquired the Norwegian haying company in 2012, at about the same time that Kaverland bought Italian baler building Gallignani, know for its variable bale chamber, round balers. These machines are the basis for the balers that Kubota is now marketing in North America.

Allison said the company is developing more tools for the North American market.

“We know we need a five by six baler to meet western Canadian farmers’ needs, and we have a few prototypes in testing now and hope to have one in place in the coming season or two.”

The company’s hay tools have been known for putting up high quality hay in short, potentially high humidity northern European seasons. Its roller conditioner design processes the whole width of the cutter bar for complete processing and quick dry down.

“Dairy and beef cow folks are

KENT BROWN KUBOTA

really focusing on hay quality,” Allison said. “A few years ago it was hay volume. We are focusing on high quality production but have been North Americanizing those tools,

making them bigger, faster and making sure they pair with North American tractors and farmers’ experiences.”

He said the M7 won’t be the end of the trend toward larger tractors for Kubota.

“High horsepower is coming,” he said. “The way Kubota does it, is to move into a market and get a sense of it and then grow the line. There is a logical progression to growth. I think it won’t be long until we have 250 h.p. tractors. We have dealers making their expansion plans based on that growth in the lineup.” michael.raine@producer.com

ALBERTA

Corn growers reap rewards with warm, frost-free spring Although some reported Goss’s wilt, yields weren’t affected

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Good weather and limited disease resulted in high yields for most Alberta corn growers. | D’ARCE MCMILLAN PHOTO

READYMADE, Alta. — It was a good year for all types of corn in southern Alberta, including crop grown for silage, earlage and grain.

Corn heat units reached 2,500 in some regions, which was higher than the average of 2,200 to 2,400.

That, when c o m b i n e d w i t h warmer nights and plenty of irrigation, led to high silage tonnage and grain yields in the 140 to 150 bushels per acre range.

Lloyd Van Eeden Petersman, a

Building better midge traps.

Dupont Pioneer representative from Taber, Alta., told an Oct. 28 corn production meeting that warm spring weather started the season and “we just kind of stayed ahead of the norm.”

It was a marked contrast to last year, when a killing frost occurred in mid-September, which limited the amount of grain harvested.

Irrigation pivots ran from early May, producing corn six to eight feet tall that touched the truss rods on the pivots.

Goss’s wilt, a bacterial disease, made another appearance, said Van Eeden Petersman. It didn’t limit yield in most cases, but its effects depend on growth stage.

Goss’s wilt needs an entry point, which can be furnished by sand blasting, hail or broken stalks in violent storms.

It doesn’t do much damage if it enters plants later in their growth stage, but it can limit photosynthesis and thus yield if it is able to attack in early July.

The disease tends to be more of a problem in fields where corn has followed corn because spores can overwinter in crop residue.

Burying that residue provides some protection, as does baling, but that can transfer spores to another field.

Van Eeden Petersman also reported the appearance of holocus leaf spot in corn crops this year. It is a bacterial disease so it can’t be controlled with fungicides.

He said holocus leaf spot looks similar to foliar burn that might occur from herbicide or fertilizer and usually doesn’t limit yield.

“It’s generally just a cosmetic thing,” he said.

European corn borer is common in this part of Alberta, though most varieties now have the B.t. trait, which provides protection. Once again, planting corn after corn exacerbates the problem.

This year also brought two-spotted spider mites to some cornfields.

“Perhaps we’ve had this before but haven’t really seen it,” he said.

The mites kill plants from the bottom up and can affect ear development.

Signs of two-spotted spider mites include a dusty appearance in plants at field edges and a cottonylooking material on the undersides of leaves. The mites are tiny and red, so producers might notice a dusty reddish material clinging to their jeans after field scouting. barb.glen@producer.com

It’s been more than a decade since clubroot was discovered in a central Alberta canola field.

It didn’t take long for researchers to develop canola varieties resistant to the soil borne disease, but it took even less time for the pathotypes to overcome that resistance.

Crop Production Services hopes its new Proven Seed canola variety, PV580 GC, will help farmers in clubroot areas continue to grow canola.

The variety is resistant to multiple clubroot pathogens.

“It is a first step in moving away from single gene to multigene resistance, which is extremely important as the clubroot pathogen continues to evolve,” said Ryan McCann of Crop Production Services.

Twenty-seven fields have been identified and 16 confirmed to have pathotypes that are able to overcome clubroot resistance since the first case was identified two years ago.

“There is a whole bunch of viru-

lent pathotypes that have been identified that have already overcome the current resistance on the market,” McCann said.

“In the past, there really was only one gene holding the clubroot back in a lot of markets. Like every other disease, eventually that disease will overcome that resistance.”

It took CPS four years to find and include new genetic sources that could be included in canola to continue to resist clubroot.

CPS worked with the University of Alberta and Agriculture Canada and bred the variety into its breeding program in Saskatoon.

“This is the first true multigenic clubroot variety to be on the market,” said McCann.

The new variety has two genes resistant to the clubroot pathogen and will be available to farmers next spring on a limited basis. Sales will be focused on clubroot-infested areas.

CPS breeders are also working on other clubroot resistant varieties with different resistance and additional resistance, McCann added. mary.macarthur@producer.com

WEED RESEARCH

Tumbling Tumbleweeds

Study finds kochia stays close to home

I’m a roaming cowboy riding all day long, Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.

Nights underneath the prairie moon, I ride along and sing this tune.

— Opening lyrics to a song by Bob Nolan, sung by Marty Robbins and Sons of the Pioneers

Researchers tracking tumbleweeds found most of the seeds were lost in the first 500 metres

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT — They aren’t cowboys, but they do drift along with tumbleweeds.

And sometimes they run.

Agriculture Canada researchers Bob Blackshaw and Hugh Beckie have assigned their graduate students to chase tumbleweeds as part of research in Lethbridge and Scott, Sask.

The scientists wanted to know how far and how much kochia, a tumbleweed ubiquitous on the Prairies, spreads its seeds.

They did it by attaching GPS collars to mature kochia plants and then releasing them to the mild — or wild — winds.

“We go out on a windy day. I go out with three of my students and we let (the tumbleweeds) go in the wind,” said Blackshaw.

“If it’s a nice gentle wind, we walk behind them and if we have a big wind, we run like hell.”

Kochia resistant to certain herbicides is steadily spreading on the Prairies, and Blackshaw gave an update on the research Oct. 27 at a seminar organized by the Farming Smarter applied research group.

The GPS collars are worth about $1,500 each, so chasing down the weeds and retrieving the collars is important for budget as well as data.

“It was sort of fun to do. The students loved it,” said Blackshaw in a later interview.

“You learn some different technology as well. We’re already thinking about how we could use those tracking systems for other weeds or other questions that we might want to look at in the future.”

By weighing the kochia tumbleweeds before and after release, the research team could determine how much seed was released and the distance travelled.

Research teams released four tumbleweeds at a time, doing three to four runs.

“Those tumbleweeds, they might go five, 10, 15 kilometres before they get stuck in a fence line or somewhere, but the good news is that a lot of that seed is going to drop in a relatively short period of time.”

The plant drops most of its seed in the first 500 metres of travel, indicating that it’s not as likely as once thought for herbicide resistant kochia to spread easily from one farm to the next.

Blackshaw also discussed research on the persistence of kochia seed and found most of it either germinates or dies within one year.

Studies involved burying seed in nylon packages at different depths and then removing them at different times of the year to test germination.

“We’re only part way through these studies, but the good news here is that 90 percent of that kochia is going to do something in the first year. It’s going to germinate and grow, or it’s going to die.”

Another study, on seed produc-

tion relative to plant maturity, revealed less positive news for farmers. Blackshaw and his team found that kochia that emerges as late as August can still produce viable seed before a killing frost that same year.

The findings show the need to be diligent in controlling the weeds, even late in the growing season. barb.glen@producer.com

Recognition for producing quality cattle is the norm for Continental Holsteins

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — The accolades for Continental Holsteins are numerous, but every award has been gratefully received.

Long-time Holstein breeders Norm and Marj Atkins of Leduc, Alta., won the grand champion rosette at the recent Westerner Dairy Showcase with a mature cow born in 2007.

Named Lakefield Dundee Janice, this Canadian born and bred cow has had six calves and also won the honour at last year’s show.

It has an excellent rating under the Holstein classification system.

“It is a great day, but we have done this for years and years and years. We are not new at this business,” Norm Atkins said after the show, which was held in Red Deer Oct. 31.

The name Continental is synonymous across North America for high quality cattle. Accepting each award has been a pleasure.

“You never think because you have got somebody ready to go right now that this will carry on through the fall because you have

to work at it,” Atkins said.

A lifelong dairyman, he came from the Springbank area west of Calgary, once a strong dairy region. His wife, Marjorie, is from DeWinton, west of the city.

They moved to the Leduc area in the fall of 1973 and remain active in the business, milking 150 cows and running a successful breeding stock business.

“I think we are really lucky to carry on in this business,” he said.

They received the master breeder award in 1988, which is one of the highest honours in the Holstein business, as well as other tributes for their cattle and contributions to agriculture.

Marj was the inaugural recipient of the Marj Atkins Achievement Award, which the Alberta Holstein Association created in 2013. Both are past presidents of the association.

For young breeders such as Markus and Amanda Hehli of Rimbey, Alta., doing well at shows like this promotes what they are trying to accomplish for the next generation of dairy farmers.

That young female was also named best bred and owned in that class and received the honourable mention in the intermediate champion class.

They milk 90 cows with Markus’s parents, Heini and Ruth, Swiss immigrants who established the farm in 1980.

The younger side of the family has been quick to adopt social media to promote their genetics and achievements.

They show across Western Canada, and Markus has worked as a professional fitter and judged extensively, including the United States and Mexico this year.

They also use genomics and

practical selection techniques to develop their breeding program.

“I use genomics to make my breeding decisions, but I don’t breed strictly for the index,” Markus said. “You can’t breed a cow on a computer. You never could and you still can’t,” he said.

Markus would like to expand, but the signing of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and its potential effects on supply management may affect his future decisions.

“Whatever they do, it might not be ideal, but somehow it’s got to work, as long as you’re progressive enough in your thinking to be able to adapt,” he said.

“But if you are set in the ways you are doing things, you probably won’t make it,” he said. barbara duckworth@producer.com

BEEF MARKETS

Beef industry laments Alberta’s refundable checkoff Alberta Cattle Feeders official said a fee increase or move to a non-refundable levy must be accompanied by a spending plan

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

PONOKA, Alta. — Canadian beef producers are in danger of losing valuable markets because Alberta feedlot operators have received millions of dollars in check-off refunds, said the chair of Alberta Beef Producers.

About $13.1 million of the money generated through a $2 per head provincial checkoff has been refunded in the five and a half years since it become refundable, and $11.3 million has gone back to producers identified as cattle feeders.

“It’s going into guys’ pockets. It is not going back to the industry,” Greg Bowie said during an ABP meeting.

“If it was staying in the industry and was used for the benefit of the industry as a whole, we wouldn’t have a problem with it, but $13 mil-

lion is not going back to industry.”

This year, $2.2 million of the $2.5 million refund request went to people identified as cattle feeders.

The other $1.8 million was refunded to producers identified as cowcalf producers.

“They’re not at all shy about admitting they take the refund,” said ABP executive director Rich Smith.

Cow-calf producers receive 14 percent of the refunds and make twothirds of the refund requests, but 87 percent of the money goes to 86 people identified as cattle feeders.

“The refunds are very skewed,” said Smith.

Producers attending ABP fall meetings have been asked to make motions or indicate by show of hands who wants a return to a nonrefundable checkoff and see a checkoff increase.

The ABP wants to increase the $1

RICH SMITH ALBERTA BEEF PRODUCERS

non-refundable national checkoff to $2.50, keep the provincial checkoff at $2 per head and dedicate 60 cents of that portion to marketing and research.

“We’re not just turning the clock back. We need to address the key areas of the shortfall of money in markets and research,” said Smith.

Bryan Walton, chief executive officer of Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, said the organization

“supports refundability.”

“We start with the philosophy that you need a plan, then you talk structure and governance and then you talk money. It always seems like it starts with money and we think it is inappropriate.”

Any check-off increase must be accompanied by a detailed plan of where it will be spent, including any increase in the national checkoff for research and promotion, he said.

“We have a resolution that we won’t support an increase to the national checkoff unless it is supported by proper governance and a budget laid out. It looks like Canada Beef is moving in that direction, which is a positive sign.”

Research money from the 80 member organization is directed at projects that benefit cattle feeders.

Walton didn’t know exact dollar figures but said it has invested in research in feed grains, improved

vaccines, barley straw, farm safety and emergency preparedness.

ABP invested $1.5 million in feed grains research in 2009, which encouraged the government to add an additional $8 million in research money.

Last year, ABP provided $100,000 in feed grains research with the promise of another $100,000 for the next two years if the money is available.

Government officials have made it clear they won’t put up money until the industry steps up with the initial investment, said Bowie.

“It is very evident we need to have industry dollars to stimulate that government contribution.”

Bowie believes the new NDP provincial government is more receptive to making the checkoff nonrefundable again. mary.macarthur@producer.com

meeting in Strathmore Oct. 22.

A similar resolution passed Oct. 26 at a zone meeting in Fort Macleod.

“None of that money would be used for our operations or policy advocacy,” said ABP manager Rich Smith.

A $3 levy is now collected on every animal sold in Alberta, with $2 retained in the province and $1 going to the national check-off agency. Producers have had the right to request a $2 rebate since 2010, and the once rich organization now struggles to meet commitments for research funding, marketing and education.

About $2.5 million was refunded in the last year and 87 percent of that was to feedlot operators.

Smith said a non-refundable levy could solve the budget shortfall and a proposal that the province return to a former policy of nonrefundable levies for all boards and commissions has been provided to the government.

The resolution in Strathmore also included a caveat saying the full checkoff should be raised to $5 per animal sold.

“Clearly we need to get more money and clearly there is money in the industr y. It is time we stepped up to the plate,” said rancher Erik Butters of Cochrane.

“I prefer the option of making it non-refundable so there is no freeloaders, but if that doesn’t fly, put it up and see what happens,” he said.

Other producers agreed that more money is needed to support the activities to which the organization has committed.

“If you want to have any say on how the game is played, you have got to have some money to do it,” said Doug Wray of Irricana.

The added money could go to research such things as feed grains and forages or rebuild the $5 million trade advocacy fund, which helps pay costs when challenges occur. The trade challenge against the United States’ country-of-origin labelling law is an example.

The organization also wants to support research to benefit the prairie beef industry as well as further promote Alberta beef.

“We also think the Alberta beef brand is worthy of support,” Smith said.

“It is a consumer driven brand that has been around for a long time and it is a source of pride for our industry.”

More money is also needed at the national level to fund Canada Beef and the Beef Cattle Research Council.

Provincial organizations now submit $1 per animal sold to the national checkoff agency, although eastern provinces take back some of the money to fund their own projects. The four western provinces submit the entire amount.

Increasing the national checkoff to $2.50 per head has been proposed. It is calculated that Canada Beef would receive $1.45, research 50 cents, issues management 15 cents, administration eight cents and provincial allocations 32 cents.

“With our current level of industry funding, we are having trouble being competitive in the global market,” said Smith.

Less money on the table makes it increasingly difficult for the industry to match government grants. As well, governments seem to prefer quick results, but less money is available to pay researchers or their facilities.

“We have some situations where we are not able to take advantage in research initiatives or the marketing or research funding from government,” he said.

The federal government’s contribution to fund the beef science research cluster is expected to decrease in Growing Forward 3, so the industry will be expected to pay more.

The issue will be further debated at Alberta Beef Producers’ annual meeting in Calgary Dec. 7-9. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

PAIN MANAGEMENT

Pain relief for beef soon required under code Producers must provide pain control when dehorning cattle and castrating bulls

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Providing pain control to beef cattle during dehorning and castrating will become a requirement Jan. 1 under the beef cattle code of practice.

The code, which was released in 2013, is not legally binding.

However, it is a consideration in some provincial legislation, and its requirements and recommendations are considered to be best management practices that producers should voluntarily follow.

Dr. John Campbell, head of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine’s large animal clinical sciences department, gave an update on pain control Oct. 21 in a webinar organized by the Beef Cattle Research Council.

He said the code will require producers to provide pain control if they dehorn cattle after horn bud attachment, which is usually at two to three months of age.

Pain control must be provided during castration if the bull is older than nine months, but that will change to six months in 2018.

“I think pain control is becoming more of a priority within our industry as part of our animal welfare mandate,” said Campbell.

“Society expects it of us. It’s part of that social licence to operate.”

The approaching deadlines mean producers will have to familiarize themselves with pain control options, though consultation with a veterinarian is always recommended, he said.

There are two types of pain control: • Anesthetics cause lack of feeling

Dr. John Campbell reminded producers that as of Jan. 1, 2016, the beef cattle code requirements call for pain control to be administered when castrating bulls older than nine months. | FILE PHOTO or awareness and dull pain to permit such things as surgery.

• Analgesics relieve pain.

Many analgesics are non-steroidal anti-inflammator y drugs (NSAIDS) and are commonly used in people and animals, Campbell said.

Three NSAIDS are licensed for use in cattle: ketaprofen, flunixin and meloxicam. All are injectable products.

One sedative, xylazine, is also approved for use to dull pain as well as sedate.

Ketaprofen and flunixin are short acting at 12 to 24 hours. Meloxicam lasts about 48 hours but has a longer withdrawal time, Campbell said.

Branding, dehorning and castration are specifically discussed in the code of practice.

Campbell said no pain control is

DISEASE RESEARCH

Experts study how viruses evolve Goal is to produce vaccine that prepares for virus rather than wait until infection

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

EDMONTON — The average person is host to billions of diverse bacteria and viruses that live in a community called a microbiome.

A 200 pound adult probably carries two to six lb. of bacteria, some of which may cause disease while others are necessary for life, said virologist Frank van der Meer of the University of Calgary’s faculty of veterinary medicine.

“Viruses have many roles, and there are good and bad viruses,” he said during the Livestock Gentec conference held in Edmonton Oct. 13-14.

Genomics help researchers identify the residents of a microbiome and their relationships.

Some of van der Meer’s research is looking at the microbiome that develops during the life of a calf. He specializes in bovine viral disease

because it is a good model to show how a virus infects a body and evolves over time.

BVD can cause persistent infection in cattle. Calves infected in the womb are immune compromised and either die or fail to thrive.

“For me, that is a very nice model to study what happens to a virus when there is not immune response to mess things up,” he said in an interview.

Genomic studies traced the virus’s family tree back to 1909 in Western Canada.

The next piece of detective work is tracing its evolution and ability to cause disease, which can eventually provide information about all the viral species present in the respiratory tract of cattle and their involvement in disease development.

“We would like to understand how it changed and became very pathogenic,” he said.

“With that information, we try to

understand how viruses change.

We use BVD as an example.”

The end goal is to figure out how the virus might evolve in the future so that more effective vaccines can be developed.

“We are always behind,” he said.

“We always wait until there is infection in the field; then we start producing a vaccine. What about if you can produce a vaccine that is ready for a virus that could emerge 10 years from now?”

BVD is found around the world, although Scandinavia, Scotland and Northern Ireland are free or almost free of it.

Other European countries such as Germany, France and Switzerland are working toward eradication.

“As countries become more free of that particular virus, they will demand stock coming into their country that is also free,” he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

required for branding, partly because there is little definitive research on pain levels and no good method of applying local analgesics.

“There’s no doubt it causes pain.”

Freeze branding causes less acute pain than hot iron, so producers might take that into consideration.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that recently branded calves return more quickly to their dam and

move more easily if given meloxicam, he added, but more research is needed.

For castration, the primary directive is to do it as soon as practically possible on young animals, he said.

“The method may not matter so much as the timing of the procedure.”

Research on flunixin and meloxicam has shown promising results in reducing post-castration pain.

Campbell said surgical castration likely causes more acute pain for a short time, while banding likely produces less pain over a longer time. The duration of castration done by banding makes it difficult to determine the best time to provide pain medication.

Dehorning has the most research, much of it done in the dairy industry, Campbell said.

Eighty-seven percent of fed cattle and 89 percent of non-fed cattle are polled in Canada. The proportion of horned cattle continues to decrease, so dehorning is steadily becoming less of an issue.

“Bottom line is, we should be using polled bulls whenever we can,” he said. “If we’re going to dehorn, we should do it as young as possible and certainly before horn bud attachment.”

Campbell said more research is needed about the best method of dehorning.

Producers and veterinarians used to prefer caustic paste on the horn buds of young calves, but there have since been indications that “it’s quite a bit more painful than we thought it was.”

Campbell said the public might not distinguish between dairy and beef cattle when it comes to pain and stress, but there are differences that are reflected in the respective codes of practice for beef and dairy. barb.glen@producer.com

Respiratory disease and digestive problems account for more than half the overall deaths in sheep flocks. | FILE PHOTO SHEEP MANAGEMENT

Experts target sheep mortality Veterinarian wants to work with producers to improve flock health

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

RED DEER — A long-time cattle veterinarian has learned after a short time working with sheep that the two species are very different.

As an epidemiologist and owner of Alberta Beef Health Services, Joyce Van Donkersgoed has also discovered that the sheep industry does not have many effective treatments for the diseases she sees at a southern Alberta feedlot.

“One of my frustrations as a veterinarian is that there is very limited help out there,” she told the Alberta Sheep Symposium held in Red Deer Oct. 15-16.

Lambs arrive at the feedlot without much health history. They often succumb to disease faster than feedlot cattle, so she conducts necropsies when they die to see what went wrong and learn how to control or prevent future problems.

The industry considers feedlot lamb losses of three percent to be the norm, but she considers that death rate to be high.

Producers finishing their lambs on the farm or at a feedlot need to consider the value of a market animal and determine the cost of saving it.

“If you have a small operation with 36 ewes and you lose half a percent of your feeder lambs, is that something to get excited about?

Do you want to do something different to reduce that death rate, and how much is it going to cost you to figure out why they die?” she said.

Van Donkersgoed is working with pathologists at Alberta Agriculture and microbiologists at Prairie Diagnostic Service to determine the causes of death in commercial lambs. This could help reduce mortalities and improve overall health of the flock.

The findings will be shared with the sheep industry and small ruminant veterinarians to help them make better diagnoses of feeder lambs.

A grant from the Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency (ALMA)

will fund post mortems over a one year period in a commercial lamb feedlot.

She advises producers to keep written records of treatments, number of deaths, causes and onfarm activities at the time of death.

Van Donkersgoed has determined that pneumonia is a leading cause of death, and lambs die quickly once they are infected. Most forms are acute.

There are no licensed bacterial or viral vaccines in North America to prevent pneumonia in sheep.

Using drugs designed for cattle will not work because the bacterial strains are different. As well, withdrawal periods to prevent antibi-

JOYCE VAN DONKERSGOED EPIDEMIOLOGIST

otic residues are long.

“You as a producer must work with your veterinarians in what is called a patient veterinary relationship to actually use these products.

Your veterinarian has to have knowledge of your sheep before they can actually prescribe these products,” she said.

“If you use one of these products without a prescription, you are actually breaking the law.”

Processors may ask for an affidavit to show that the animals have passed the drug withdrawal period to avoid residues in the meat.

Lambs can get serious bacterial infections, but they can also die from an anaphylactic reaction to a drug. The flock veterinarian should be informed if that happens.

Vaccines would be helpful but nothing is approved in North America at this time. As a result, scientists from the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in

Saskatoon are using funding from ALMA and national and provincial organizations to develop a respiratory vaccine for sheep. This could take three to five years.

Digestive problems account for one-quarter of the illnesses or deaths, so it is important to work with a nutritionist on ration formulation for sheep.

Frothy bloat is responsible for more than 40 percent of digestion related deaths.

Gas bloat and grain overload also happen, especially when more grain is added to rations.

Frothy bloat is often linked to feeding alfalfa hay. A feedlot does not know the lamb’s history, and some may never have eaten alfalfa.

Lambing mortalities can happen in a feedlot.

“Something that is really hard to deal with is lambing mortalities,” she said.

Some young ewe lambs may arrive pregnant, and a feedlot does not have the facilities to care for them if they survive. Pen checkers may not realize the ewe is pregnant until it is too late, and the young animals may not be monitored at night when lambing may occur.

Uterine or vaginal prolapses may occur after lambing. Animals with these conditions may die of infection or bleed to death.

Producers need to keep male and female feeder lambs separate to avoid unwanted pregnancies.

Rectal prolapses may also occur.

Potential causes include cutting tails too short, diarrhea, coccidiosis, worms and feed overload.

Injuries contribute to five percent of deaths seen at the feedlot, including broken legs, toe abscesses, suffocation, bleeding to death from wounds and cellulitis, which is an infection under the skin.

Injury prevention can start at the farm and when animals are shipped to a feedlot or market. Try to use certified livestock transporters who practice low stress handling, do not use electric prods and do not overcrowd trucks.

CATTLE THEFTS

Brand inspectors lack power Cattle group wants inspectors to have more authority when a theft is suspected

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Producers at a Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association district meeting here want brand inspectors to have more power when it comes to dealing with cattle theft.

They say they don’t get enough help from the RCMP. District 2 director Philip Lynn said the board and the RCMP met after the SCA annual meeting last January, in which a resolution was passed asking for dedicated RCMP officers to handle cattle thefts, but didn’t get far.

“The RCMP resources are challenged, with both people and funds,” Lynn told the meeting.

“The SCA has requested (a) dedicated livestock officer, but it was denied.”

Cattle producers have long complained that RCMP constables don’t have a livestock background and don’t understand the seriousness of the problem.

They say the RCMP could better investigate when thefts are reported and share information with

other detachments.

“We need to get them involved to track down theft, but quite honestly, unless we have somebody dedicated that knows the lay of the land and knows the cattle industry, you might as well send them on a wild goose chase,” Lynn said.

Instead, cattle producers must rely on brand inspectors, but that presents another problem.

SCA chair Bill Jameson, who sits on the board of Livestock Services of Saskatchewan, which took over brand inspection from the province, said he was surprised to learn inspectors have no power when it comes to suspected thefts.

LSS can’t act even if a producer believes he knows where his stolen horses or cattle are, he said.

“You pay $2.65 a head for brand inspection services, but if there’s a problem, there’s nothing we can do about it,” he said.

LSS suggests producers go to the RCMP, which in turn could ask for help from LSS, but that takes the problem right back to the original concern, Jameson said.

He said two RCMP constables are

on staff in Alberta to deal with cattle theft. As well, the province’s inspection organization, Livestock Identification Services, has the power to go onto land, count cattle and investigate.

“It’s shocking, and I for one want that changed,” he said of the Saskatchewan situation.

The meeting passed a resolution to take to the SCA annual meeting that calls for the organization to lobby the province to extend enforcement and investigative powers for the LSS. Another resolution passed at the Moose Jaw meeting asks the province to remove the designation of wolves as fur bearing animals in agricultural areas so that farmers can protect their livestock without trappers’ licenses.

Another motion asked for the repeal of the Horned Cattle Purchases Act because the administration costs of collecting levies for sending horned cattle to market exceeds the revenue. A similar resolution was defeated at last year’s annual meeting. karen.briere@producer.com

COMPARING VALUES

Supply management and animal welfare ANIMAL HEALTH

JAMIE ROTHENBURGER, DVM

By Jamie Rothenburger here is more to the issue of supply management in the Canadian dairy industry than simple economics.

In a holistic view of the supply management system, the impact on animal welfare is worth considering.

One of the major concerns about opening up Canada’s borders to imported milk is that most will come from the United States.

Dairy veterinarian Dr. Rob Walsh emphasizes that dairy producers know that well looked after cows do better than those that are not, regardless of which side of the border they farm.

However, from an animal welfare perspective, there are differences between dairy farms in Canada and the U.S. that deserve attention.

Information that directly compares the welfare implications of the two systems is hard to come by, but there are some indirect measurements that could imply significant welfare differences.

For one, the average lifetime lactations per cow in Canada is four to five, compared to 2.4 for U.S. cows.

This statistic implies less frequent culling in Canadian cows, which may be an indirect measure of welfare. Cows that live long, productive lives ultimately produce more milk per cow than those that are culled as younger cows.

T

If we apply the welfare principle of reducing the total number of animals used, then maximizing the production of a single cow is better for welfare, if all else is held equal.

This longer productive lifespan also suggests that cows in Canada may be treated for disease and illness rather than simply culled from the herd.

Herd ownership is another indirect indicator of welfare.

For each litre of milk that leaves a Canadian dairy farm, there is a portion of the revenue that funds the infrastructure required to audit and enforce the high standards that the consumer demands.

ROB WALSH DAIRY VETERINARIAN

More families and individuals own dairy farms in Canada than corporations. Corporate-owned farms may have high standards and the ability to implement highquality management, but there may be an advantage to having owners who manage the farms and work directly with their cows.

“If the person actually milking the cows is the owner, that raises the bar of care,” Walsh says.

“An employee working for minimum wage is probably less invested than someone who owns the farm and that farm is their livelihood.”

Supply management also provides a framework, including funding, for national programs.

Dairy Farmers of Canada is im-

plementing a mandatory national program called proAction, which will hold dairy farms to a standard for animal care as well as milk quality and environmental stewardship.

“Trying to implement welfare standards nationally is a big job, but this new program is formalizing what is being done on farms already and will drive producers to critically evaluate their current practices looking for opportunities to improve,” Walsh says.

A key component of the proAction initiative is an animal welfare assessment based on the National Farm Animal Care Council’s Dairy Code of Practice.

“For each litre of milk that leaves a Canadian dairy farm, there is a portion of the revenue that funds the infrastructure required to audit and enforce the high standards that the consumer demands.”

Producing milk in Canada for domestic consumption provides the opportunity to implement science-based welfare standards.

Society’s ability to drive welfarefriendly practices is diminished if we import milk.

Animal welfare can always be improved, and programs such as proAction provide a mechanism for this to occur.

“We are addressing welfare issues with the best science we have available and we are always striving to do better,” says Walsh.

In an age when consumers care about more than just the price of their milk, it is worthwhile to reflect on the animal welfare value provided by our supply management system.

Western College of Veterinary Medicine 50 Years of WCVM | 1965-2015 Celebrating 50 years of veterinary education, research and clinical expertise at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM).

The WCVM’s equine fund has been renamed the Townsend Equine Health Research Fund in honour of Dr. Hugh Townsend. Photo: Christina Weese.

When Dr. Hugh Townsend began his work as the first Equine Health Research Fund (EHRF) fellow in 1977, it was the beginning of a legacy that would allow WCVM researchers to enhance horse health and cultivate a legion of international equine specialists.

The EHRF was the brainchild of Dr. Ole Nielsen, WCVM’s dean from 1974 to 1982. Recognizing the need for advanced equine research and training in Western Canada, Nielsen contacted Townsend in 1976. Nielsen wanted the 1973 WCVM graduate to serve as the first fellow of the new research fund, which would be established to support equine research.

While the WCVM had modern facilities and capable people, the fund required a “fairly modest” amount of capital so the college could develop an equine research program. Townsend’s family had personal connections in Alberta, and both his father and brother helped to introduce the college to donors who could contribute the capital needed to get the equine fund off the ground.

In honour of the Townsend’s long-time dedication to the EHRF and his family’s many contributions to the college, the charity now has a new name: the Townsend Equine Health Research Fund.

The decision wasn’t made lightly, says Dr. Baljit Singh, associate dean of research at the WCVM. He commends Townsend for his work in support of the fund that has been “critical in creating the large number of current equine research leaders across North America.”

As for Townsend, he became internationally known for his work in vaccine efficacy and equine infectious diseases. Before his recent retirement, he was a WCVM faculty member for more than four decades and held several roles on campus including infectious disease and internal medicine specialist in the WCVM’s Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences.

Since Townsend completed the first EHRF research fellowship in 1979, the fund has supported nearly 50 research fellows over the past four decades. Much of the research supported by the EHRF became building blocks for modern equine medicine, including the cause and correction of angular lameness deformities in foals, equine nutritional requirements, biomechanics of the horses’ spine, breeding practices, surgical management of joint disease, vaccine efficacy and respiratory diseases as well as lung inflammation and wound healing.

Townsend says those research efforts put WCVM on the map, but more importantly, the college and its equine fund have helped to train several generations of equine specialists and large animal veterinarians with strong backgrounds in equine health.

“My feeling was, the most important aspect of the fund was the people: the education, the learning, the desire to make things better for the horse and the horse industry,” says Townsend.

A collection of independent crop input dealers that recently changed its name could soon be adopting yet another moniker.

Grow Community of Independents became United Suppliers Canada Inc. Sept. 1 to reflect its new partnership with a large customer-owned wholesaler of crop input products headquartered in Ames, Iowa.

Grow was a network of 17 independent crop input dealers operating 75 retail outlets in Western Canada.

“We’re now part of a much larger ownership group across North America,” said Greg McDonald, general manager of crop protection and seed with United Suppliers Canada.

United Suppliers comprises 600 agricultural retailers that operate nearly 2,800 retail locations in 22 states and provinces.

McDonald said the Canadian group is focused in the near-term on launching the United Suppliers Canada brand, but he said another name change could be coming because of recent developments with the U.S. parent company.

United Suppliers announced Oct. 8 that it has merged its crop input business with the crop input business of Land O’Lakes, one of the largest co-operatives in the United States.

The two companies will do business as Winfield US in the United States.

Winfield is Land O’Lakes’ brand of crop inputs, which posted sales of US$4.8 billion last year. United Suppliers had sales of $2.6 billion.

“I do believe at some point we will be brought into the Winfield umbrella and brand,” said McDonald.

In the meantime, the company will continue its transition into

“We’re just now part of something bigger that can fuel our growth and strength,” he said.

United Suppliers already had seven independent dealers operating in Western Canada at the time it joined forces with Grow, bringing the total Canadian presence to 24 dealers operating more than 90 retail outlets.

Those dealers account for 12 to 13 percent of Western Canada’s annual crop input sales.

“We plan on obviously growing our ownership over the next years to come,” said McDonald.

He said the partnership with United Suppliers gives the western Canadian dealers access to an improved line of products and services.

The company has three business

units: crop nutrients, crop protection and seed and a business resources unit that offers dealers organizational development and financial services support.

“I do believe we will have the opportunity to look at new and unique products now that we’re part of a North American distribution business,” said McDonald.

He has been in contact with all the major crop input manufacturers with which his Canadian dealers want to work.

“We’re working on direct contracts with those manufacturers,” said McDonald.

“In the U.S., they are doing that already.”

Some contracts have been finalized, while others are in the negotiation phase.

“We made significant progress on bringing on multiple manufacturers for the 2016 business,” he said.

“We believe at some point in the future that we will be able to purchase directly from all the manufacturers that our owners in Canada deem are important.”

McDonald believes Canadian d e a l e r s w i l l hav e e v e n m o re opportunity to strengthen product lines and services and better compete against multinational retailers following the merger with Land O’Lakes, which has been doing business in the U.S. for 94 years.

“It really just allows for more opportunity when you become a bigger player,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

Maple Leaf Foods swings into profit but shares slip slightly (Reuters) — Maple Leaf Foods Inc. posted a rare profit in the third quarter as it nears the end of its restructuring plan.

The profit is only Maple Leaf ’s second in the past 11 quarters but was slightly smaller than expected.

The company rolled out a program in 2010 to boost earnings by shutting some plants and modernizing others.

“We are making meaningful progress on eliminating inefficiencies driven by the ramp-up of our new facilities, though not at the

pace we had hoped for,” said chief executive officer Michael McCain.

Maple Leaf disappointed the market by delaying to 2016 its target of increasing earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization as a percentage of revenue to 10 percent, Canaccord Genuity analyst Derek Dley said in a note.

The profitability measure amounted to 7.1 percent during the

quarter, up from the previous quarter but below expectations, he said.

Restructuring costs fell 76 percent to $3.4 million in the third quarter.

Maple Leaf’s net sales fell slightly to $818.8 million from $820.1 million in the third quarter, hurt mainly by the agri-business group, which includes Canadian hog production operations.

Sales in the meat products unit,

which includes products sold under brands such as Maple Leaf and Schneiders, fell marginally to $814.8 million in the quarter.

The company earned 16 cents per share on an adjusted basis.

Its net earnings were $18.7 million, or 13 cents per share, in the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with net loss of $26.7 million, or 19 cents per share, a year earlier.

Net earnings were four cents per share below analysts’ expectations

Analysts had, on average, expected Maple Leaf to earn 17 cents a share.

Meat processors around the world were rocked last week by a World Health Organization report that said eating processed meat could cause colorectal cancer in humans.

The Canadian Meat Council, which represents meat packers such as Maple Leaf and the Canadian units of Cargill Ltd. and JBS SA, rejected the findings as simplistic.

This means that unlike the owners of a corporation, the partners are personally liable for all the actions and debts of the partnership. As well, each partner is liable for the entire partnership. A corporation may be more expensive to set up than a partnership, but the liability issue represents a significant advantage over a partnership.

Partnerships are regulated by provincial law, and although formal registration is not required, it is recommended to avoid later difficulties.

For example, there could be questions about whether the partnership exists if it is not formally registered. In such cases, the courts will look at the actions of the partnership and not at what it owns to determine the validity of the arrangement.

The existence of a partnership agreement will also hold sway with the courts.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest railway company announced record third quarter profits last week despite lower freight volumes.

Canadian National Railway reported net profits of $1 billion in the three month period ending Sept. 30, up 18 percent from the same period in 2014.

Third quarter revenues were $3.22 billion compared to $3.12 billion in the third quarter of 2014.

CN said it is still on track to meet double digit earnings-per-share growth targets this year, despite lower third quarter freight volumes.

Reduced fuel costs and beneficial foreign exchange rates relative to the Canadian dollar helped boost profits and reduce the railwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operating ratio to a record low 53.8 percent.
