Producers cheer end of COOL Retaliation from Canada and Mexico averted

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

It’s not going to be a COOL winter, and that pleases Canadian cattle and hog producers.

The U.S. Congress repealed country-of-origin labelling legislation Dec. 18 as part of a larger omnibus bill, averting a potential trade war in the form of more than $1 billion in retaliatory tariffs about to be imposed by Canada and Mexico.

At press time, the bill had yet to receive presidential assent but cattle and pork association leaders were ready to celebrate once the ink was dry on Barack Obama’s signature.

“After all these years, it’s wonderful news,” said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Dave Solverson about repeal of labelling legislation that the CCA and others have fought since 2008.

NORTHERN PORT, RAILWAY SALE

Manitoba First Nations eye Port of Churchill OmniTrax will consider offer to buy the 400 kilometre Hudson Bay Railway and Canada’s only deep water Arctic port

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

First Nations groups in northern Manitoba are interested in buying the Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill from OmniTrax Canada.

OmniTrax officials confirmed Dec. 18 that the company has accepted a letter of intent from an undisclosed number of northern Manitoba First Nations.

The company announced last month it was seeking a buyer for the railway and port assets.

OmniTrax and the First Nations will now enter a 45-day period to consider terms of the deal and perform due diligence before establishing a formal purchase agreement.

“Basically, a letter of intent has been signed by OmniTrax Canada and a group of northern First Nations communities,” Omnitrax president Merv Tweed said.

“We’ve set a time limit of 45 days for explorations and sharing of information and we hope this will culminate within those 45 days into a sale.”

Tweed did not say how many First Nations groups had signed the letter or how many were likely to be involved in the sale.

“I can tell you that it’s a growing number and that we’re not set on the final total at this point,” he said.

“We have 45 days to work out the details, and we’re hoping that at the end of the day, it will culminate in what I see as a historic moment and the sale of the railway to the people in the communities of northern Manitoba.”

The Port of Churchill ships 500,000 tonnes of western Canadian grain during a normal shipping season. | Tweed said the Manitoba and federal governments have been informed of OmniTrax’s plans to reach a deal with First Nations buyers.

It is likely that both levels of government will play a role in facilitating the sale, should a deal be reached, he added.

The Hudson Bay Railway covers more than 400 kilometres from The Pas, Man., to the Port of Churchill

on the shores of Hudson Bay. The port is Canada’s only deep water Arctic port. Its assets include a grain export terminal that ships 500,000 tonnes of western Canadian grain during a normal shipping season.

Churchill’s shipping season normally runs from late July or early August through to late October or early November.

Grain volumes through the port

were well below average in 2015 with total handlings estimated at less than 200,000 tonnes.

Tweed had earlier said reduced grain volumes in 2015 and high operating costs were the main factors behind the company’s decision to sell.

“After a period of time, we’ve come to realize that Hudson Bay Rail not only (serves Churchill) for grain … but it also serves a lot

FILE PHOTO

of communities along the rail line and … the costs of doing that just become unreal at times,” he said.

“We’ve built a lot of efficiencies into our operations and we’ve made a lot of changes for the positive, but we just think that it’s time that someone else maybe takes a chance and takes a look at it.” brian.cross@producer.com

BUFFALO ROAM

Sask. producers plan capture of bison on the lam

BY SHIRLEY BYERS FREELANCE WRITER

Roaming bison were still on the loose in northeastern Saskatchewan as of press time, but producers in the Tisdale area were drawing up a capture plan.

The animals appeared to have moved away from the Highway 35 area Dec. 18, where they were sighted several times on the weekend of Dec. 11-13. Estimates have placed their numbers as high as 100.

A meeting of producers and bison experts was scheduled for Dec. 19 to plan the safe capture and return of the runaways.

“I’m getting people together and I’ve contacted the Saskatchewan Bison Association for advice about what we should or shouldn’t do,” said local bison producer Lonnie Bulmer, who was organizing the meeting.

There have been reports of the bison wrecking bales and damaging fences on nearby farms, but the biggest concern is the threat they could cause on the highway.

SBA president Les Kroeger said people need to be aware that live-

stock are on the loose, but bison typically pose minimal danger, particularly at this time of year.

“Unless they’re provoked, they won’t target a vehicle,” he said.

“They won’t come to the road and start charging vehicles.”

Nevertheless, a bison is a large animal and can weigh up to 1,000 kilograms, and warning signs have been posted on Highway 35.

Kroeger said the bison may stay in one herd or they may fragment into smaller groups.

“There are no set rules, but they can cover a lot of ground, maybe (50 kilometres) in one day,” Kroeger said.

Bison are wild animals and semi nomadic, but they might return to the farm they escaped from because they associate it with a steady food supply.

Bison cows have been known to return to the area where their last calf was born.

However, rounding them up will be challenging. Trucks, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles can be used, but the people involved must know what they’re doing and go slowly. A spooked bison can run 60 km-h.

A sign warns motorists to keep an eye out for up to 100 bison are roaming free in the Tisdale, Sask., area. | SHIRLEY BYERS PHOTO “The RM’s obligation under the Saskatchewan Stray Animals Act is to provide a location within the municipality that has appropriate enclosures to contain animals that may be at large,” said Wayne Black, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Barrier Valley, where most of the sightings have occurred.

The RM has enclosure facilities at

two locations, and two individuals have volunteered to be pound keepers.

One of those facilities is properly equipped to handle bison.

Black said the animals are protected under the Stray Animals Act, which makes it an offence to harm or take possession of them.

“Even though the RM doesn’t

have the responsibility to round up these animals, that doesn’t mean we aren’t concerned about the situation and we’re prepared to make our facilities available to work with them,” he said.

“If there’s a logical way we can approach this thing to correct this problem, we’re not averse to participating in this at all.”

CLIMATE CHANGE

Canadian canola has carbon advantage Studies have found canola increases soil organic carbon, resulting in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The recent Paris climate accord will likely increase world attention on the carbon footprint associated with crops.

This could be good news for Canadian canola producers, who produce lower amounts of greenhouse gas than producers in other canola and rapeseed regions.

“Canola is unique in terms of the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) that it puts into the soils, and increasing the amount of SOC in the soils benefits crops,” Agriculture Canada researcher Brian McConkey told a recent canola industry meeting in Saskatoon.

“It’s all kind of a nice story. Canola is good for carbon and carbon is good for canola, from a production

level as well as from marketing.”

Studies have found that soil organic carbon decreases rapidly when forest and grassland are converted to cropland but then stabilizes as pastures and cropland become established.

However, studies have also found that soil organic carbon increased in prairie soil when producers moved to zero tillage, reduced summer fallow acreage and rotated between annual and perennial crops.

Soil organic carbon levels have been rising in many parts of the Prairies by 35 kilograms per acre per year, which is significant when taking the size of the region into consideration, said McConkey.

The increase in soil organic carbon accounts for 11 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in Can-

da, which reduces Canada’s net greenhouse gas emissions by 1.5 percent.

The benefit is reduced to 7.4 million tonnes of CO2 when the carbon emitted from the creation of new cropland is considered, which brings Canada’s net greenhouse gas emissions down only one percent.

He said a comparison of canola production in Germany and the Prairies found fewer emissions on the Prairies.

“Fifteen, 20, 25 percent of emissions are reduced in the carbon footprint because of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere,” McConkey said.

Some prairie regions, such as the Red River Valley in Manitoba, are not increasing soil organic carbon as much as other regions.

However, growing canola in Canada generally produces less net carbon emissions than in Germany, which gives Canadian canola a better value when selling into Europe.

“(It) gives us a competitive advantage,” he said.

“It’s also becoming more important in the American market. Millions of tonnes of canola could potentially be sold into the California market for vegetable oils for biodiesel.”

California ranked Canadian canola as the lowest emission among oilseeds, McConkey said.

“Those jurisdictions with cap and trade systems are desperate for immediate GHG reductions and biodiesel from Canadian canola can provide that.”

Biodiesel may become a big future market for canola as economies shift away from fuel with greater net carbon emissions.

END OF COOL

Making a case for wetland inventory

» CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

into the soil, one and a half times more than wheat.

This may be counterintuitive for some people, especially when a comparison of wheat and canola stubble appears to show far more residue on the wheat field.

“If you get down to the details of the canola residue, many of the leaves are decomposed by harvest, and the pods are pulverized by harvest operations, so there just doesn’t appear to be as much carbon,” McConkey said.

Canola adds about 35 kg per acre in Saskatchewan, he added.

Increasing soil organic carbon also has significant agronomic benefits, such as an improvement in soil structure and fertility.

Solverson noted the support of the federal government, past and present, in pressing the issue through the World Trade Organization. The WTO ruled in Canada’s favour four times, supporting the contention that COOL violated international trade rules.

That point was key for Canadian Meat Council executive director Ron Davidson.

“Countries should abide by their international trade obligations, and given the consistent W TO decisions on this, I think the international trade obligations were very clear,” he said. “If the U.S. is going to repeal those measures, I think it will make everybody happy because they will then be following the rules, hopefully.”

Canadian Pork Council chair Rick Bergmann said COOL’s repeal means the end of discriminatory pricing.

The legislation required U.S. processors to label meat according to the source animals’ place of birth and death. The need to segregate Canadian cattle and pigs and then label them incurred extra costs that discouraged their sale in the United States.

Bergmann, who raises isowean pigs, said Dec. 18 that he had already noticed better price offers in the U.S. “That tells me that American producers have been talking with their processing plants that are in need of animals,” he said.

“There’s probably some speculators out there in the U.S. that say, ‘yes, common sense is going to prevail at the end of the day so let’s get these animals in now.’ ” Solverson said he is hopeful the value chain will soon return to preCOOL conditions.

Objections to COOL among U.S. cattle and hog producers and processors will be key to that, and they were also key to the repeal, he added.

“When I was lobbying in the U.S. last week, I said this is a very unusual trade dispute because industry on both sides of the border was on the same side on this issue,” he said.

“Outside of a couple of small protectionist groups, the whole U.S. cattle industry and beef processing and the unions that work in the plant, everybody wanted COOL gone .… It wasn’t just Canada and Mexico against the U.S. It was the industry against the administration, is what it was.”

Davidson said he was relieved retaliatiation won’t be necessary.

“The intent was not ever a desire to retaliate. The intent was to have the rule rescinded.”

The WTO ruled that trade damage to the Canadian red meat industry because of COOL amounted to $1 billion annually, and both international trade minister Chrystia Freeland and agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay reiterated intentions Dec. 16 to impose retaliatory tariffs if it was not repealed.

However, Bergmann said the cost of COOL has been far greater than dollar figures indicate.

“The cost has been significant on the dollar value but also if a producer has been unable to weather the storm of what COOL has created,” he said.

“That’s a pretty deep cut on our farms.”

Illegal agricultural drainage is difficult to enforce without a wetland map, says Ducks Unlimited

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Finding a wetland in North Dakota is easy — a lot easier than in Saskatchewan.

In North Dakota, one can visit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website at www.fws.gov/wetlands/ Data/Mapper.html and find the map that colour codes wetlands in the United States.

Someone who wants to identify wetlands on a specific quarter section of land can zoom in on the map and find the wetlands, both big and small, identified for that field.

The same task is more challenging in Saskatchewan.

A Ducks Unlimited Canada website at maps.ducks.ca/cwi has a map of Canada that shows where a wetland inventory is in progress or complete.

The white regions on the map represent areas that haven’t been mapped.

Southern Saskatchewan is mostly white because only 17 percent of the wetlands in the province’s agricultural region have been formally catalogued.

“The National Wetland Inventory exists for all of the U.S., so they have their baseline inventory. And they have a status and trends program, as well,” said Lyle Boychuk, manager of GIS and inventory programs for Ducks Unlimited Canada on the Prairies.

“They’re quite a bit ahead of us, in terms of inventory.”

The lack of an inventory of the millions of potholes and sloughs in southern Saskatchewan creates problems because wetlands are disappearing.

Many people blame illegal agricultural drainage, and the provincial government introduced new drainage rules in September.

However, it’s difficult to enforce wetland drainage regulations if

authorities don’t know the wetland exists.

“We’ve mapped a lot of wetlands, but we’ve only scratched the surface. There remains a lot of unmapped areas,” said Michael Champion, head of industry and government relations for Ducks Unlimited in Saskatchewan.

“The smaller, half acre, one acre or five acres, we don’t have a full understanding of where they all are.”

The Ducks Unlimited website shows similar progress in Alberta; only a fraction of its agricultural land has been mapped.

Manitoba has inventoried a higher percentage of its wetlands, particularly in the western half of the province.

Boychuk said Ducks Unlimited and the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency are having success in certain regions. Ducks Unlimited has identified several key areas for waterfowl habitat and hopes to complete an inventory of those regions in five years.

However, the mapping progress is intermittent, depending on funding. A stable financial com-

The lack of a comprehensive inventory forces scientists and regulators in Saskatchewan to extrapolate data to estimate broad trends such as wetland loss.

The approach has limited power. “(You need) publicly accessible data, in the regulatory process, for example, in cases of disputes,” Boychuk said. “It always works out that wherever you have data, (it’s) right next door is where you need it.”

WSA spokesperson Patrick Boyle said Saskatchewan is changing its policies and approach to drainage.

“As part of that, we … are working with pilot projects in the southeastern part of the province … to understand how to develop policy out of those (pilot projects),” he said. “One of those policies … is wetland policy for agricultural land.”

Boyle said the province, in collaboration with Ducks Unlimited, is making progress on a wetland inventory.

mitment is needed.

The cost is not prohibitive, said Boychuk.

“About $6 to $7 million…. It is doable,” he said.

“It’s been done all over the world, but it’s a huge gap here (in Canada) because it hasn’t been made a priority.”

Mapping wetlands is mostly a matter of manpower.

Boychuk said the province took aerial photos of southern Saskatchewan from 2008-11. Money is now needed to hire staff to interpret the photographs.

Photo interpreters look at stereo images, or three-dimensional pictures, to identify depressions and wetland vegetation on a field.

“You can obviously see water … vegetation heights and you can see depressions in 3D,” Boychuk said.

“You’re actually viewing a stereo model (of the wetland).”

Field tests have proven that photo interpretation is reliable.

“We were never below 90 percent confidence on our mapping … in terms of, are we collecting all the wetlands, are we calling non-

THE U.S. RENEWABLE FUEL STANDARD PROGRAM WILL REQUIRE BIOFUEL TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY

50 percent » CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE A fuel’s life cycle greenhouse gas emission is calculated as the total greenhouse gas emissions related to the fuel’s life cycle, including all stages of fuel and feedstock production and distribution. It is the net value for all greenhouse gases adjusted to account for their climate change potential, which includes how much carbon the feedstock crop fixes into the soil.

Biodiesel’s life cycle greenhouse gas emission level varies according to crop used, which is where canola has a competitive advantage over other feedstocks.

Canola and rapeseed consistently rank as the best biofuel feedstock when calculating net carbon emissions.

The Renewable Fuel Standard Program in the United States requires biofuel to achieve a 50 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to meet the biomass-based diesel requirements, compared to 25 percent in Alberta and 35 percent in the EU, although that is expected to increase to 50 percent by 2018.

Sustainable grower programs also consider carbon emissions, especially in Europe but also in the U.S., where buyers find sustainable growers so that they can sell into those markets.

These programs audit growers to assess their sustainability, including the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that their farming practices produce.

The results are calculated with the average soil carbon gain rather

than crop specific values. The reporting units (RU) are related to ecological zones, which in turn are related to soil zones.

“The canola buyer tracks the l o c at i o n w h e re c a n o l a w a s grown,” McConkey said.

“The canola buyer then provides a mass-weighted carbon footprint for the canola shipment based on RU where it was sourced. The value in Europe increases as carbon footprint value decreases.”

Greenhouse gas emissions produced from canola production vary across the Prairies because of soil types, climate differences, production practices and the types and amounts of nitrogen fertilizer used.

However, canola production in all regions adds a lot of carbon

CANOLA MARKETING

Hot canola forcing farmers to sell Heating problems in storage are forcing farmers’ hands, adding to an already strong flow of canola to elevators

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Canola has roared fast and furious into the western Canadian grain elevator system since harvest, but some of it has been flowing out of fear.

Analysts say farmers are selling canola when they are surprised to discover they have canola heating in the bin.

“It’s really catching guys off guard,” said Brian Voth, an Agri Trend marketing adviser in Altona, Man. “It didn’t go in wet.”

But many analysts and marketers note cases in which farmers need to move canola fast once they discover it has begun heating.

That doesn’t surprise Dale Leftwich, the chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission.

This year’s harvest was far from ideal.

“It was an unusual fall for many producers. They were harvesting much later than they usually would,” said Leftwich.

Many farmers had to hold off combining until very late, hoping that crops would fully mature, but in the end, many had to harvest the crop while much was still green and some even with flowering patches.

That was a product of late seeding and re-seeding that followed growing problems in spring and early summer.

“The canola that was re-seeded stayed a lot greener for a lot longer,” said Leftwich. “It didn’t go into the bins in the kind of shape that it usually would have.”

Voth said the fear-driven deliveries of green and heating canola have added to an already strong flow of canola into the elevator system.

Canadian Grain Commission statistics show about 6.45 million

Producers who harvested canola green this fall are finding it is heating in storage and are in a hurry to sell. | tonnes of canola had been delivered into the elevator system by Dec. 6, compared to 5.9 million tonnes one year ago, 5.5 million tonnes the year before that and 5.6 million in 2012 at this time.

Voth and other advisers encouraged many farmers to lock-in prices for 2015-16 crops last spring and early summer, during a rally, so

once the crop came in, many farmers began working to deliver those contracted crops.

For whatever remains, Voth encourages farmers to lock in deferred prices to capture the carry in the market .

John Duvenaud, the publisher of the Wild Oats newsletter, was also part of the drive to get canola

priced and delivered early.

“We’re 80 percent priced on canola, which is pretty aggressive for this time of year,” said Duvenaud.

He isn’t bearish on canola, but also sees little reason for canola prices to rise. U.S. farmers are holding a lot of soybeans that they will soon need to move, and South American harvest and exports loom.

FILE PHOTO

“I suspect once the new year comes, the flood gates are going to open,” said Duvenaud.

However, canola usage is good so buying demand should continue.

“The canola fundamentals themselves are not too dramatic either way,” said Duvenaud. ed.white@producer.com

SPECIAL CROPS

Hemp oversupply means no contracted acreage for 2016

BY ROBERT ARNASON & BARB GLEN BRANDON, LETHBRIDGE BUREAUS

Hemp acres could drop sharply on the Prairies in 2016 because Manitoba Harvest, the largest hemp seed processor in Canada, is not offering production contracts.

A Manitoba Harvest representative told growers at a Dec. 15 meeting in Bow Island, Alta., that there’s a glut of hemp seed in storage on farms in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Consequently, Manitoba Harvest doesn’t need additional hemp grain in 2016 because the existing supply will last well into 2017.

Manitoba Harvest operates a processing plant in Winnipeg, where it produces hemp protein, hemp oil, hemp granola bars and hemp milk.

Ric Luimes, who manages hemp production for Quattro Farms in Bow Island, said the news was not a shock.

“We kind of new there were some issues,” he said.

“There’s inventory buildup in a

lot of producers’ bins in the area.”

Rod Lanier, who grows hemp south of Lethbridge, had heard that hemp processors were struggling to use the existing supply.

“I’m not surprised (by the Manitoba Harvest move) with how far behind most companies are with taking their 2014 crop. I’ve heard lots of rumours from farmers that they haven’t moved very much of their 2014 crop, let alone last year’s crop.”

Manitoba Harvest spokesperson Kelly Saunderson said the production “pause” applies to all of West-

ern Canada. Higher than expected yields are the primary reason for the oversupply.

“In the past we’ve had our production contracts averaging yields of 500 pounds per acre,” he said.

“The last two or three years, we’re seeing average yields of 750, 1,000 and 1,200, depending on growing zone.”

Industr y estimates indicate 85,000 acres of hemp seed in Western Canada in 2015.

Saunderson said Manitoba Harvest contracted 65 percent of

those acres.

There are other hemp seed processors in Western Canada, but Manitoba Harvest bought a major player in the industry on Dec. 15.

Compass Diversified Holdings, an American firm that owns Manitoba Harvest, acquired Hemp Oil Canada for $42 million.

Hemp Oil Canada expanded its operations in 2015, building a $14 million processing plant in Ste. Agathe, Man. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Manitoba Harvest’s decision to halt production contracts in 2016 also applies to Hemp Oil Canada.

“It (the oversupply) is really industry wide,” Saunderson said, adding it’s difficult to estimate the size of the hemp seed carryover or acreage in 2016.

“There are more hemp players than there were three years ago….

There’s different processors coming into play,” she said.

“We could still see a fair amount of acres … but we don’t want too much grain out there. We want to make sure we use what we have.”

A significant drop in acreage would be a major setback for Canada’s hemp industry. The Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance was expecting acres to hit 250,000 by 2018.

Luimes said Quattro Farms will grow hemp seed in 2016, but other growers may not.

“We work with three companies …. (Manitoba Harvest) is just one of three,” he said. “(But) there are producers that will pull out (of hemp).”

Stopping production contracts for a year could alienate prairie hemp growers, who may move on to other crops.

Saunderson said Manitoba Harvest wants to maintain relationships with growers.

“We’re being very transparent in our communications with producers…. Give hemp a break this year and come back to us. We’ll make it worth coming back to us.”

Will Van Roessel of Specialty Seeds in Bow Island said the production cutback is significant, but growers are having success with hemp.

“It’s not unusual with some of these niche market crops that things go up and down and situations change.”

Manitoba Harvest says its current supply of conventional hemp seed will last it well into 2017. | Saunderson emphasized that consumer demand for hemp seed, protein powder and oil remains strong.

“We’re seeing sales of hemp foods growing. This merger with Hemp Oil Canada actually means more innovation and more new

products.”

Lanier isn’t as enthusiastic.

“It’s like lots of new crops. They start off and everybody gets very excited and everybody gets fights over the same sale to another country, so it sounds like there’s 10 buyers out there but there’s actu-

Manitoba Harvest’s decision applies to conventional hemp. The company needs organic hemp seed and will contract organic acres in 2016. robert.arnason@producer.com

Optimizing land, machinery costs help with profit In lean times, variable rate technology can help cut costs, but managing land and equipment is essential: adviser

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CHICAGO, Ill. — Farmers will need to tighten their belts over the next couple of years as crop prices remain weak, but a consultant says they will need to be smart about it.

Chris Barron, president of Ag View Solutions in Iowa, said the knee-jerk reaction is to reduce inputs such as fertilizer, seed and herbicides, but those are small ticket items for most farms. For instance, herbicides make up five percent of the cost of production for his client base.

Instead, farmers need to focus on land and equipment, which account for 53 percent of the cost of production for his clients. U.S. land tends to cost more than land in the Canadian Prairies.

Barron said there is a significant disparity in land and equipment costs among his client base. Land costs range from 90 cents to $1.88 per bu., while equipment costs range from 52 to 97 cents per bu.

That’s nearly a $1.50 per bu. difference between the big spenders and the cost conscious farmers.

“There’s a lot of operations that have cash rents that are too high,” Barron told DTN’s recent Ag Sum-

mit 2015 in Chicago.

He said there is often a three-year lag between falling commodity prices and lower rental rates, but growers can successfully negotiate more favourable agreements in the interim by coming to negotiations armed with facts.

He talked about one Iowa client who thought he was averaging 200 bu. per acre growing corn on rented land, while the landowner thought it was higher than that.

Barron sat down with the farmer and figured he averaged 190 bu. per acre on the rented land.

“That’s a pretty significant (difference) when you start looking at an additional $40 per acre (10 bushels) that’s really not there,” he said.

“It’s incumbent upon us to have good facts and figures and documentation when we show up to have a conversation instead of talking about the weather for 45 minutes and business for five minutes.”

Barron encouraged farmers to separate their land into thirds based on return on investment.

The top third is the farm’s most productive and highly profitable land, while the bottom third is the opposite.

Farms facing diminishing margins might want to consider selling some of the bottom third land.

One client who was farming 12,000 acres averaged $35 per acre for total revenue of $420,000 during the period of high prices.

The farmer downsized to 8,450 acres and averaged $72 per acre for total revenue of $608,400 during a period of lower prices.

Growers can save another $50 per acre by making better use of their equipment or collaborating with a neighbour.

Barron said many farmers overlook the return to management cost, which is the money a farmer takes out of the operation to pay for

Farm Credit Services of America says the typical Iowa corn grower could be facing US$400 per acre in working capital losses for 2015, 2016 and 2017 crops based on $3.50 cash corn prices and expenses stuck at 2015 levels.

home improvements, vehicles, vacations and college fees for their children.

That cost ranges from $36 to $226 per acre among his client base, or 18 cents to $1.18 per bu., which amounts to a potential cost savings of $1 per bu.

He also encouraged farmers to consider using variable rate seeding and variable rate fertilizer technology.

Barron calculated a total seed and fertilizer cost savings of three percent using the technology on one Iowa farm. It amounted to $27,948 in savings for the 2,950 acre farm.

That might not seem like a lot, but over 10 years it would save the farm $318,000 with compound interest.

There was also a corresponding yield increase of five bu. per acre, which generated another $9 per acre and $26,550 in revenue for the farm that year.

That would amount to $366,827 in additional revenue over 10 years.

Adding the cost savings and the revenue together results in an extra $684,827 over 10 years.

“That might be the difference between this operator staying in business or not or maybe buying

the neighbour’s farm or not.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Brazil has huge potential in crop output Improving pastures would free up 99 million acres for crops. Canadian farmers plant 74 million acres of crops

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CHICAGO, Ill. — There is staggering potential to expand corn and soybean production in Brazil, says an economist.

The country has 400 million acres of underused pastureland, a portion of which could and likely will be converted to crop production in the coming years, said Renato Rasmussen, Brazil economic analyst for Rabobank.

“Even though we have so much pastureland, it’s extremely underused,” he told delegates attending DTN’s Ag Summit 2015.

The national average is less than one animal per acre of pastureland.

“It’s one of the lowest yields for cattle ranching in the world,” said Rasmussen.

“If we could take this number from one animal per hectare (.4 animals per acre) to 1.3 (.5 animals per acre), we could free up almost 40 million hectares (99 million acres) for grazing production,” which would become available for crop production adding to Brazil’s existing 160 million acres of cropland.

To put that in perspective, Canadian farmers plant 74 million acres of grain, oilseeds, pulses and special crops a year.

“There is a lot of potential to increase grain production without having to deforest a single tree from the Amazon just by increasing (pas-

ture) yields,” said Rasmussen.

It is starting to happen as growers increasingly embrace modern technologies. There are pockets in the southern portion of the country where farmers are averaging four animals per hectare (1.6 animals per acre).

The country is also making progress improving its transportation infrastructure.

There is a lot of potential to increase grain production without having to deforest a single tree from the Amazon just by increasing (pasture) yields.

RENATO RASMUSSEN RABOBANK ANALYST

Rabobank forecasts that Brazil’s southern ports will handle 70 million tonnes of grain by 2018, up from 60 million tonnes in 2013. The northern ports will export 28 million tonnes, up from nine million tonnes. As well, many inland highway and waterway projects are already underway.

“There is a lot happening in Brazil at this moment that is really going to enable us to continue to expand our exporting capacity,” said Rasmussen.

Roads and other transportation infrastructure investments are needed if Brazil shifts more of its vast pasture land into crop production, increasing the number of trucks carrying crops to ports. | REUTERS PHOTO However, transportation problems will continue to be a bottleneck for the foreseeable future.

Crop prices in Mato Grosso in the central part of the country are typically 15 percent below the Chicago price and can dip as low as 25 percent below during harvest due to transportation bottlenecks because the state’s prime soybean growing area is 2,000 kilometres from port.

“This lack of logistics infrastructure is compounded by the lack of warehousing,” said Rasmussen.

Some areas of the country do not have the ability to store even 20 percent of local crop production.

“The trucks really become moving warehouses,” he said.

Farmers are also confronted by macroeconomic factors such as rising government debt, high taxes and interest rates, soaring inflation and lacklustre economic growth rates.

Brazil’s weak currency boosts farm revenues but increases input costs.

However, there is tremendous potential to expand crop production and boost exports.

Rasmussen said North American farmers shouldn’t be afraid of increased exports from Brazil because the world is going to need more food from all of the main exporting regions.

BRAZILIAN AGRICULTURE BOOMING Rabobank estimates that improved grazing technology could free up almost 100 million acres to go into crop production without harming the Amazon rainforest. Mato Grosso state is a long way from port but Brazil is making huge investments in road and port infrastructure.

Southern ports are expected to ship 70 million tonnes by 2018, up from 60 million in 2013 and northern ports 28 million tonnes, up from nine million.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Vegetable oil rally sees canola price surpass soybeans Soybean prices headed up on speculation that changes to a U.S. biodiesel blenders policy would spark domestic demand

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canola on the world market is trading on par with soybeans after more than a year of being at a significant discount.

The canola value calculation takes the cash vegetable oil price in China, backs it off for freight to Canada and then applies the Canada-U.S. dollar exchange rate.

Canola prices tend to follow soybean oil prices because the crop has 42 percent oil content versus 24 percent for soybeans.

The soybean value calculation comes from taking the soybean meal value in China, backing it off for freight to the United States and then adjusting for the exchange rate.

Canola was trading at a one percent premium to soybeans at one

point last week, which is a significant change after a year-and-a-half of trading at a 10 to 15 percent discount.

Agri-Trend Marketing president Derek Squair said canola’s resurgence is because of the recent rally in soybean oil prices.

“Canola is following it, so we’re starting to catch up a little bit,” he said.

Soybean oil has been in part supported by hopes that the U.S. Congress would modify a biodiesel blender credit to a domestic production-only credit, thus limiting biodiesel imports and increasing demand for domestically produced, soybean oil-based biodiesel.

However, that change did not survive passage of the bill that included the biofuel measures and soy oil in recent days has been falling.

Squair noted that canola exports have been brisk for the first five months of the 2015-16 campaign.

Squair expects Canada to export 8.3 million tonnes of canola and crush another 7.8 million tonnes domestically for total use of 16.1 million tonnes.

He believes farmers harvested 15.6 million tonnes, which when added to 2.5 million tonnes of carryout from the previous year results in 18.1 million tonnes of total supply.

That leaves two million tonnes of carryout and a manageable 12.4

percent stocks-to-use ratio.

Carr yout has been as low as 800,000 tonnes and as high as 3.2 million tonnes in recent years.

“We’re kind of in the middle,” said Squair. “It’s not too bad.”

Statistics Canada pegged production at 17.2 million tonnes in its November estimate. If that were the case, carryout would blossom and prices would fall.

However, Squair said the trade puts no faith in that number. Canola futures temporarily dropped after the report was released but rallied later that day based on rising soy-

bean oil prices and the beneficial exchange rate.

“If the industry believed that number, we would have been down $20 a tonne since that day in futures,” he said. “The trade just kind of brushed that off.”

Squair said the trade is becoming increasingly dismissive of Statistics Canada’s canola production estimates.

He believes basis levels will narrow as the industry realizes supplies will be tight.

However, Squair said will adjust his export number to seven million tonnes if canola trades at a five percent premium to soybeans for the remainder of the year, and that would drive up ending stocks and push down prices. sean.pratt@producer.com

MARKET INFLUENCES

Crop prices remain stable, despite buffeting MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

S

everal developments influenced crop prices this week: the falling loonie, weather problems in Brazil, U.S. biofuel policy and prospects for increased exports from Argentina. But in the end, the prices of major crops closed the week little changed.

The Canadian dollar fell below US72 cents following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to increase its interest rate by 25 basis points.

The Fed said it would continue to raise rates, perhaps to 1.375 percent by the end of 2016.

Crude oil also fell on rising stocks, and that too weighed down the loonie. Analysts now believe the Canadian dollar might remain below 75 cents all through 2016.

A weak loonie supports Canadian agricultural exports and Canadian c ro p p r i c e s b u t c a n p u s h u p machinery and input costs.

However, in the United States, the market is concerned that the stronger U.S. buck will further slow

American crop exports.

As traders digested that news, the weather forecast for central Brazil turned drier and took precedence in the market, pushing soybeans higher.

Mato Grosso, which is expected to produce 30 percent of the country’s soybean crop, is already dry and the forecast indicates little relief in the forecast to the end of 2015.

A state agricultural organization lowered its production forecast by one million tonnes to 28.3 million.

Meanwhile, it is too wet in some southern growing regions.

Conab, the national crop forecaster was not concerned and nudged up its country-wide pro-

duction forecast by .46 million tonnes to 102.4 million.

However, the forecast might shrink in coming months if it remains dry in northern growing regions.

That would support soybean futures, but the rally in soybean oil futures seems to have run out of steam partly because the focus in the related palm oil market has again shifted to the large current stocks and away from the idea that future production might dip because of dry weather earlier this year.

Another development in South America was the new Argentine government eliminating export

taxes on corn and wheat and trimming the tax on soybeans. The government also removed controls on its currency, which caused the peso to plunge by more than 25 percent.

Argentine farmers will now receive many more pesos for every tonne they sell.

This is expected to unleash over the next few months an estimated eight to 10 million tonnes of soybeans and six to 10 million tonnes of corn that farmers had been holding back in hope of a change in government.

over the holidays.

Live prices in the southern United States were US$2-$4 lower with most trade at $118. Dressed sales in the north were $2-$3 lower with trade $1 on either side of $184.

FEEDERS DRIFT LOWER

The cattle futures markets are oversold and a corrective bounce is warranted. However, the price trend is still down because 2016 will have larger supplies of calves and feeders. Bred cows ranged $1,500-$3,100 and bred heifers ranged $1,900-$3,100.

Dec. 1 was 10.794 million head, which was steady with last year.

Analysts had forecast a one percent increase, on average. The report was expected to support cattle prices.

November placements were at a record low at 1.601 million head, down 11 percent from 1.794 million last year and well shy of analysts’ average forecast of 1.719 million.

Feedlots are losing money and did not want to buy replacements at prices that would generate more losses.

Marketings are expected to tighten at auction through the holidays.

However, ample speculative stocks are currently on feed to be carried over into the first quarter.

Calf and feeder prices were more stable last week after the meltdown of the previous week, but the market was still weak with prices down two to 10 cents per pound.

Light volumes supported prices.

Calf prices are ending the year on a disappointing note after the major bull run with calves mostly $50 per cwt. lower than a year ago and yearlings $35-$40 lower.

The large drop in the Canadian dollar last week was mostly overshadowed by the new lows in the cattle futures market.

Some feedlots are full and buyers will be cautious, considering that many cattle feeders are holding inventory that they will lose money on. There are a few potential bright spots in the market, but caution must be maintained.

CRAIG’S VIEW

GIVING THANKS

Time to show appreciation; give to those less fortunate

T

his issue’s publication date is the night before Christmas, a time for family, friends, religious observances and long-standing Christmas traditions.

But it’s also time to think about how privileged we are to live in an affluent, well-fed country and take stock of our good fortune.

We have a lot to be thankful for when we compare our standard of living to people living in poverty-stricken or war-torn regions.

On the rural Prairies there is a wealth of family, friends and community circles.

Due to their remoteness, some areas lack access to certain services, but rural residents have built strong support networks, and few people can be counted on more.

Need elder care? Call a neighbour.

Need a rink built? Call a local service group. Need a ride to get seniors to doctors’ appointments? Call a friend. Need somebody to help out at 4-H? Call the people who staffed the kitchen at the last church function.

The willingness to lend a hand and the inventiveness at solving problems is a lynchpin that holds rural communities together. We are thankful for those people.

The economic situation in agriculture is also something for which to give thanks.

People living on the rural Prairies have seen better times, no doubt, but rather than becoming too engrossed in what might have been, take time to consider how much most of us have compared to what we actually need to live comfortable, satisfied lives.

Wheat and canola are down from the

exceptional levels of a few years ago, but thanks to a weaker loonie and strong demand farmers are seeing adequate cash flow in most cases And if you have lentils, yellow peas or chickpeas, you have reason to smile a little more broadly.

There is a long winter of marketing yet to come and prices could still slide, but we can give thanks that farming provides for our families.

This year marked an exceptionally strong period for cattle markets. Drought looked set to ruin pastures this spring and early summer, particularly on the central Prairies, but the worst fears never materialized, although some areas did take serious hits.

There was good news on the trade front too, with supply managed sectors preserved under the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which also shows good potential for beef, pork, grains and oilseed producers.

The U.S. country-of-origin labelling law is drawing its last breath and that too should inspire thanks from beef and pork producers and those spin-off industries that depend on their wellbeing.

We are lucky enough to live in a society so prosperous that such gifts and advantages are overlooked as ordinary and every day.

When we pause and count our blessings this holiday season, let’s be generous to those who don’t have such good fortune.

Merry Christmas.

FARM POLICY

Agriculture will keep Ottawa hopping in the new year CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

W

hat a year it has been for agriculture in Ottawa.

As I write this, the U.S. Senate has just voted to repeal country-of-origin labelling, effectively ending a protracted trade dispute over meat labels. President Barack Obama was expected to sign the bill Dec. 18.

The repeal comes as Canadian and Mexican officials were set to receive authorization from the World Trade Organization to impose US$1.01 billion in retaliatory tariffs against the Americans because of COOL. Somewhere, prime minster Justin Trudeau is breathing a sigh of relief. The U.S. repeal of COOL means he has narrowly avoided a

potential trade war with Canada’s largest trading partner.

With Trudeau set to attend a White House state dinner in his honour in March, the first time s u c h a n i nv i t at i o n ha s b e e n extended to a Canadian prime minister since 1997, a trade war is likely the last thing he wanted.

However, the end of COOL isn’t the only significant agriculture issue to come to a head this year.

The fate of the pending TransPacific Partnership remains up in the air. Still, the conclusion of the years-long negotiations this fall should not be diminished.

Canada’s export dependent agriculture industries have insisted TPP is essential to their sectors. Beef, pork and canola producers see the pending, multibillion-trade deal as a way to regain prominence in Asian markets, where several of their competitors (Australia, for example) have landed free trade deals.

And while TPP forces Canada’s supply managed sectors to make c o n c e s s i o n s, t h e c o n s e n s u s among many dairy, egg, and poultry farmers is that the outcome

Somewhere, prime minister Justin Trudeau is breathing a sigh of relief. The U.S. repeal of COOL means he has narrowly avoided a potential trade war could have been much worse.

However, while the text may have been finalized, much work remains. American presidential primaries loom and the Liberals are promising full consultations on the deal, including a full debate in Parliament. As a result, expect TPP to surface again in the new year.

The same goes with the debate around the future of Canada’s supply management sector, which is likely to slip its way into TPP-related conversations.

The future of the Comprehensive E c o n o m i c T ra d e A g re e m e nt between Canada and the European Union is also still up in the air as discontent in Europe over nonagriculture chapters continue, notably intellectual property.

This past year also marked the end of the Canadian Wheat Board, now known as G3 Canada Ltd. While the Conservatives had eliminated the board’s marketing

monopoly in 2012, its sale by the federal government marks the end of a significant chapter in Canada’s agriculture history.

Ripple effects of the board’s sale remain.

The federal government will have to decide in the new year whether it will get involved in the attempt to sell the Port of Churchill and the accompanying railway. The port’s current owner, Omnitrax, has put the operation up for sale, and has blamed declining grain shipments to Canada’s northernmost deep sea port.

Churchill isn’t the only transportation issue the federal government will have to deal with in 2016. Canada’s grain logistic system ran relatively smoothly in 2015, thanks to a smaller crop and slumping potash and oil markets, but the federally ordered review of the Canadian grain handling system continued.

Review chair David Emerson is required to submit his final report

and recommendations Dec. 24, which means the issue is expected to come off the political backburner in the new year when transportation minister Marc Garneau tables the report in Parliament in February or early March.

Weather was also a concern in 2015.

Drought conditions on the Prairies for much of the summer and too much moisture in Ontario helped questions about the effectiveness of Canada’s suite of business risk management programs resurface.

The Liberals have promised to review those programs during Growing Forward 3 talks, which are set to begin in 2016. Expect conversations around climate change and the adaptability of Canada’s agricultural sector to surface, particularly given the recent agreement in Paris.

Benefits of farm workplace insurance

have the good fortune of living and working in a rural community, and I have also had the privilege of working with individuals and families whose livelihoods depend on farming and ranching.

In addition to this, I am proud to be a member of a multigenerational farming family.

Over the years, I have observed a trend in regard to farm related injuries and the economic and social ramifications for those who are not covered by workplace insurance.

Needless to say, farming and ranching are labour intensive. The work includes a variety of repetitive tasks, risks and hazards. Most people who come to me for help after sustaining an injury do not have insurance.

They often continue to work despite their injuries, making the injuries linger and worsen, resulting in permanent disabilities that eventually make it impossible for them to do ranch and farm work.

In contrast, those with insurance coverage have a much better chance of recovery because they are able to maintain a stable income and access rehabilitative services such as physiotherapy and chiropractic care.

Farmers and ranchers who are seriously injured spend more time in hospitals and long-term care because there aren’t many options.

Access to housing is often affected because many hired men and women, along with their families, live on the farms where they work.

For them, an injury can also mean a

In addition, there is usually a significant gap between what is provided and what is required to make ends meet. The resulting stress takes a substantial toll on individuals and their families.

Farming and ranching are unique because for us it is not just a job; it is about who we are, whether we are working to maintain our own family farms, rich with historical and cul-

tural meaning, or working on a farm to support ourselves and those we love.

It has been my experience that people lose a part of themselves when they are injured and cannot access the help they need to recover and adapt.

The stress related to loss of income and loss of purpose combine to create feelings of hopelessness and helplessness that can contribute to psychosocial and emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, addiction and family violence.

It is important to consider that social problems come with a large price tag in addition to the heartbreak they cause.

The skills, dedication, hard work and determination of Albertans who work on farms is invaluable to the social and economic integrity of our communities, our province and our country.

Alberta farmers, ranchers and farm workers deserve the safety net of insurance coverage that is already legislated in other provinces.

HIGH PRICES ENCOURAGE PRODUCTION

Be leery of joining overheated lentil market HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

S

ometimes a market goes bonkers, and that’s what has happened with lentils.

Negative consequences are inevitable whenever craziness ensues, and it will be no different with this bit of insanity.

Sky-high record prices are certainly a good news story for producers lucky enough to sell into this rapidly rising market, but observers are speculating on the potential downside in the months and years ahead.

Red lentils were a good price at harvest time, selling off the combine for around 35 cents a pound.

Now they are 55 cents or more, which equates to an extra $12 a bu.

Top quality large green lentils were selling for around 40 cents a

lb. off the combine, and some buyers are now reportedly paying 70 cents, which is an $18 a bu. increase in about four months.

Farmers who grew a really good crop of lentils and had the foresight/luck to hold them until recently could have grossed $1,000 or maybe even $1,500 an acre.

Of course, few will have reached those lofty returns. Stories abound of could have, should have, would have from producers who wish they could have grown a bigger crop and wouldn’t have sold it so soon.

Analysts attribute most of the price strength to dry conditions in India, which have stoked the demand for lentil imports. A chunk of the price strength also comes from the weakening Canadian dollar.

New crop contract prices were available in the early fall, months ahead of the normal time, and those prices have also ratcheted up to record levels. Prices of 40 cents a

lb. on the first 10 bu. per acre have been available with an act of God clause in the contract.

This makes lentils the stand-out winner in 2016 cropping options.

Some producers who have never grown lentils want to try their luck, and price contracts are being signed with farms in such unlikely locations as Prince Albert, Sask., and Winnipeg.

New crop red lentil prices have retracted a bit lately, and some buyers have withdrawn from the market. They’ve filled their contracting needs even before the time when new crop contracts are usually just being initiated.

This overheated market will produce losers as well as winners.

There’s a reason why lentils aren’t grown in higher moisture regions.

Farmers in those regions might grow a decent crop if they have drier and warmer weather than normal in 2016. Otherwise, there could be huge crop failures.

GROWERS WHO WAITED TO SELL RED LENTILS COULD REAP

$12 per bushel more

Producers in areas where lentils are normally grown will be pushing their rotation so that they can seed as many acres as possible, and that could result in disease issues. In some cases, producers are rolling the dice and seeding their entire farm to lentils.

Will you be able to sell 2016 lentils if you don’t have a contract, and what will the price be if acreage and production are as high as anticipated? Producers in many other parts of the world are also excited to cash in, so international competition will likely increase.

What will happen with negotiated sales with buyers in far-away countries when the price inevitably falls? Lentil marketers would seem to be facing a lot of risk.

Analysts say the cure for high prices is high prices. Overproduction typically leads to a number of years of depressed returns.

Lentils are hot, and that probably means someone is going to get burned.

o, we had the discussion. The MC talk.

That’s Merry Christmas.

Each week our editorial board gets together to discuss possible topics, then we debate the appropriate stand we should take and how the argument should be made.

After the outline is set, someone volunteers to write the editorial.

So D’Arce McMillan, Terry Fries, Bruce Dyck and myself, sometimes joined by Michael Raine, gather together in our Saskatoon office while Barb Glen joins in by phone from Lethbridge.

(I particularly enjoy this meeting because it occasionally allows me the opportunity to ramble, which strangely, is why the others sometimes don’t enjoy this meeting quite as much.)

Last week, we got together to discuss our Christmas editorial, the one you see today on Page 10.

We discussed how it was a difficult year for many farmers because of the weather and prices this summer, but by and large, many farmers escaped the worst of what is considered an off year. So there was much to be thankful for, which formed the outline of our editorial.

But when it came to the end, we debated, albeit briefly, how we should sign off. Season’s Greetings? Happy Holidays? Merry Christmas?

Some readers’ eyes might roll at this, but it’s actually a reasonable debate. Our society has become much more multicultural in the last 30 years or so, and it’s important to address all our readers as Canadians.

But Merry Christmas does just that. It is not exclusive. It simply recognizes that a segment of our society, in this case a large segment, is celebrating an important spiritual festival. If we offered Happy Hanukkah to acknowledge our Jewish readers (Dec. 6-14 this year) or Happy Ramadan to wish our Muslim friends well in their holy month (which began in midJune this year), it should be no problem. Most of us don’t even know when many of these celebrations take place, but Christmas tends to be ubiquitous. Everyone knows it’s coming.

Our debate was brief, and as you see in today’s editorial, the point was made.

So, although it’s been said many times in many ways — and by many people in more lyrical ways than me — Merry Christmas to you. brian.macleod@producer.com

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE To the Editor: I farm in northern Alberta and recently ran into a quandary with Bill 6 and a three-tonne government bridge.

You see, I have to use the threetonne bridge to access my farm land. It’s the only access I have to my land and most of my equipment weighs more than three tonnes.

I’ve been complaining to the local county and Alberta Transportation for years to replace the bridge with one with more appropriate weight limits for accessing farmland, but it’s always fell on deaf ears .

I was told they only have to provide me with access, not any specific weight access.

I was pretty upset today, thinking of the generations of my family that have farmed that land.

KARL SORENSEN

Then along came Bill 6 and the talk of ensuring safety in farming. I again asked if my bridge would be replaced now, but was still told no.

Due to budgetary constraints and the downturn in the economy, it just wasn’t feasible to provide a new bridge, despite Bill 6.

So, to ensure I understood the ramifications of this new Bill 6, I made an inquiry with Occupational Health and Safety. I was told if an unsafe work environment was made over the bridge weight limit, they would issue a stop-work order on me crossing the bridge with anything over three tonnes.

I asked if that would force the government to finally rectify the situation and was told no. In fact, it would only force me simply to not cross the bridge with anything over three tonnes. Essentially, this forces me to abandon all my farmland across that bridge, as I would not be able to get any equipment over there, unless I wanted to build my own multimillion-dollar bridge.

The Occupational Health and Safety official agreed this was an

unfair situation getting stuck between two government departments, but couldn’t see any way around it. He had to do his job in OH&S, just as Alberta Transportation has to do theirs.

I was pretty upset today, thinking of the generations of my family that have farmed that land. I debated what to do but I believe bringing it to the attention of the media is the right thing to do because it’s not right.

This government can’t preach safety on one hand and then use budgetary constraint excuses when I ask them to ensure my safety to farm my land.

SNOPING

Check out those questionable stories PRODUCER ONLINE

ROBIN BOOKER

A

lmost everyone has a friend or two that sends them story links that are questionable.

More often than not the message is ignored, or the person who receives the message gently tries to convince the sender the message is bogus.

“No Jason, rubbing that on my head will likely not convince my bald spot to leave.”

The same phenomenon is often seen on social media.

I can pretty much guarantee that if you share a story on Facebook that says you might get millions of dollars if you share it with someone else, you will not be given a red cent.

The urban dictionary defines the term snope as: “To use knowledge gained from an urban legend website or other research to administer a firm rebuke to people who chronically forward junk to your inbox. This action may involve hitting the reply-all button (public snoping).”

Snope can also be used as a verb that indicates checking the validity of a suspected story.

For instance: “Jason told me a story about how Fred Rodgers from Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood used to be a Navy Seal during the Vietnam

War, but I snoped it and the story is just an urban legend.”

The most popular website people use to check if such stories are fact or fiction is snopes.com.

Staff at snopes.com try to get to the bottom of rumours or urban legends circulated by people online.

In the archives are hundreds of rumours the site has verified, discounted or explained why the rumour is only partially true. On this site are numerous postings about food and food production.

The site is not compressive or infallible, but it can be used to quickly see if a story, which isn’t worth looking too deeply into, is even in the ballpark of being true.

To test the site, I added the headline “Toddlers killed more Americans than terrorists in 2015,” which happened to appear in my Facebook wall.

Snopes had already looked into the claim with the caveat that it didn’t know exactly what constitutes a “toddler” or a “foreign terrorist” and which criteria counted toward attaining those totals in the claim.

However, they rated the claim as true: “Broad counts indicate that 21 toddlers shot and killed themselves or others in 2015; 19 Americans died at the hands of potential or suspected Islamic terrorists,” the site stated.

I likely won’t be using the site to publicly snope any of my social media friends, but I will kindly send them links to help them remember that just because something is on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true. robin.booker@producer.com

Doomsday seed vault to open

U.S. to tighten GM wheat trial rules

The Arctic facility is designed to protect crop seeds against cataclysmic events OSLO, Norway (Reuters) — Two new consignments of crop seeds will be deposited next year in the “doomsday vault” built in an Arctic mountainside to safeguard global supplies.

The vault, which opened on the Svalbard archipelago between Norway and the North Pole in 2008, is designed to protect crop seeds against the worst cataclysms of nuclear war or disease.

It already has more than 860,000 samples from almost all nations.

Even if the power were to fail, the vault would stay frozen and sealed for at least 200 years.

“The seed vault is the back-up of the back-up,” said Cierra Martin, a spokesperson for the Crop Trust, which manages the Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

She said two deposits were planned for next year, but that the details of the deposits were as yet unclear.

“The deposits are due in March and May,” she said.

The vault is rarely opened as a way to protect the seeds.

Syria’s civil war prompted the first withdrawal of seeds from the vault in September, following a request by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas, which moved its headquarters to Beirut from Aleppo, Syria, in 2012 because of the conflict.

“ICARDA had to move collections in Syria to Morocco and Lebanon and the seed vault helped them reestablish their collections,” said Martin.

Many of these seeds, which included samples of wheat, barley and grasses suited to dry regions, have traits resistant to drought, which could help breed crops to withstand climate change in dry areas from Australia to Africa.

The changes follow the discoveries in 2013 and 2014 of unauthorized crops in U.S. fields CHICAGO, Ill. (Reuters) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture will tighten regulations for field trials of genetically modified wheat.

The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said it will require developers to apply for a permit for field trials involving GM wheat planted on or after Jan. 1. Since 1997, such trials have been authorized by notification, which is a less stringent process.

The rule change follows the discoveries in 2013 and 2014 of unauthorized GM wheat growing in Oregon and Montana.

Field trials of GM wheat were never authorized at the Oregon

site, and the last authorization for a field trial at the Montana site expired 10 years earlier.

“Using permits for field trials of GE wheat provides an additional level of safeguarding based on, and consistent with, the biology of wheat,” the department said in a report accompanying its notice.

“It became clear to us following the GE wheat incident in Oregon that the detection of regulated GE wheat where it was not authorized had great potential to disrupt wheat markets globally,” the USDA said.

With permits, the department can require a longer period to monitor volunteer plants, which can emerge

following the harvest of a crop.

There is no commercially approved GM wheat, but Monsanto’s herbicide-tolerant Roundup Ready wheat was near commercialization a decade ago before the company shelved the project amid fears that export sales would suffer.

The USDA said it authorized 572 requests for field trials of various crops in 2014, including 21 for wheat. Most of the rest were for corn, soy and cotton.

“Research in wheat has ramped up quite a bit in the past few years, including trials with biotech traits,” said Steve Mercer, a spokesperson for U.S. Wheat Associates.

Permits will now be needed for GMO field trials. | FILE PHOTO

NEWS AG NOTES WHEAT STEM SAWFLY FORECAST The wheat stem sawfly forecast map is available on Alberta Agriculture’s website.

It predicts that the risk of economically significant sawfly populations will be limited to a few areas next year.

Insect management specialists look at four spots inside wheat fields after harvest and count the number of stems that are intact and the number that have been cut by the sawfly. This gives forecasters a percentage cut and a sense of what to expect for the following year.

The forecast calls for low numbers, especially in the traditional areas such as the Municipal District of Acadia, the County of Forty Mile and the Special Areas, although individual fields may vary.

It found a hot spot with potential yield losses in the eastern portion of Willow Creek and the western portion of Lethbridge counties.

The insect was also found in Flagstaff County.

Tallying up feathered friends Bird counters across the country head outdoors to compile data on species and numbers

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Birders gather in groups, just like the creatures they count, and Christmas is one of their favourite times to get together.

This is Charlotte Wasylik’s seventh season counting birds at Christmas.

She and 30 other birders from Vermilion, Alta., were scheduled to get together Dec. 19 and count birds.

The Christmas Bird Count is conducted across North America on a single day chosen by local groups between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5 .

“The goal is for all of the birders who take part in the count to become citizen scientists, and their job is to count all the birds, which in turn helps scientists look at population trends of birds during the winter so they can see if some species are increasing or decreasing in

population,” said Wasylik, who organized the traditional Christmas bird count as well as a bird count for kids.

“We have lots of kids signed up this year, so it will be a good turnout. We encourage everyone to enjoy nature and to get outside even in the winter because there are lots of things to see. We are not going to be looking specifically at birds, but also any mammals we see or any tracks and get the kids to have lots of fun outside.”

She expected the children to see finches, common redpoll, red and white winged crossbill, pine grosbeaks, bohemian waxwings and black capped chickadee in the park in Vermilion.

Wasylik said it’s difficult to know if the bird population is increasing or decreasing in the area because some years there are more bird counters than other years.

“It’s a little difficult to tell, but

overall, the population of chickadees, especially, is very healthy and ravens are really increasing in population.”

If you have a feeder, spend at least 15 minutes watching your feeder and recording how many birds of each species come to your feeders.

CHARLOTTE WASYLIK ALBERTA BIRD COUNTER

Last year a volunteer spotted a black backed woodpecker, which is common in southern Alberta but not in the Vermilion area.

“It was one of the most unusual species the Christmas bird count has ever produced in our area. That was a really good bird.”

Wasylik said it’s always exciting to

see a snowy owl during the count.

The bird counters also want people to record the birds that appear in their backyards.

“If you have a feeder, spend at least 15 minutes watching your feeder and recording how many birds of each species come to your feeder. Just do the best you can for estimating how many species you have,” she said.

“I know with black capped chickadees, they’ll fly to the feeder and fly away and come back and sometimes it’s hard to know if that is one chickadee or seven. The highest number you count at once will be your total number.”

Bird Studies Canada organizes the Christmas Bird Count. Bird watchers can visit the group’s website at www.birdscanada.org/volunteer/cbc/ to find Christmas bird counts in their area. mary.macarthur@producer.com

PORCINE EPIDEMIC DIARRHEA

Latest PED case evidence virus still circulating

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Ontario reported another case of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus Dec. 2, its first since July 14.

The province has had 85 premises infected with the deadly hog disease, but many of those have been disinfected in the months since the first cases were found in January 2014.

Only 16 new cases were reported in 2015, including the most recent one.

Hog barns in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia remain free of PED, said Dr. Julia

DR. JULIA KEENLISIDE VETERINARY EPIDEMIOLOGIST

Keenliside, a veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture.

However, it doesn’t mean the virus isn’t circulating.

Keenliside said during an Alberta

Pork conference call Dec. 9 that environmental sampling at assembly yards, abattoirs, truck washes and trucks in Alberta have found evidence of the virus, as well as its cousin, swine delta coronavirus.

Saskatchewan has had positive tests for delta coronavirus too, but Keenliside said they were likely the avian type of the disease. Available tests do not initially distinguish between the porcine and avian types.

Manitoba has had five premises infected with PED, but all are now “presumptive negative,” said Keenliside. “There has been strict biosecurity to eliminate PED from all

the pig areas, and so testing has shown that the virus has been eliminated from the animals and the environment,” she said.

It’s possible the virus could remain in manure storage, and that will be monitored.

PED is now considered endemic in the United States and can be easily carried within manure on trucks and other surfaces. The virus thrives in cool, moist conditions so winter brings a higher risk of spread.

The virus is almost always fatal to young piglets, which die of dehydration and malnutrition. barb.glen@producer.com

WHEAT MIDGE SURVEY MAP Alberta Agriculture has used samples to create a new wheat midge survey map. It shows a couple of residual hot spots for the insect, but generally the numbers are low.

The department took soil cores from more than 300 wheat fields, washed the midge cocoons out of the soil with specialized screens and looked at the samples under a microscope.

Alberta Agriculture takes at least five soil samples per county from wheat-heavy counties and a few less samples from less prevalent areas.

The survey has found that wheat midge numbers are at their lowest because of recent years of dry conditions.

The forecast map is available on the department’s website.

CANOLA TRIAL DATA AVAILABLE Small-plot data on canola seed varieties are now available in the 2015 Canola Performance Trials booklet.

The performance trials were conducted on more than 25 small-plot sites across the Prairies last year. The booklet contains results from short, medium and long season zones with yield and agronomic performance. It also has gross revenue for each variety and location.

The booklet provides information about production practices, as well as comparative data on leading canola varieties and newly introduced varieties.

The program is funded by the Alberta Canola Producers Commission, SaskCanola and the Manitoba Canola Growers Association. Seed companies paid their own entry fees.

SHEEP CHAIR RE-ACCLAIMED Phil Kolodychuk, a sheep farmer from Bluesky, Alta., has been re-acclaimed chair of the Canadian Sheep Federation for a third consecutive term.

This is Kolodychuk’s sixth year on the CSF board of directors.

The executive committee also includes vice-chair Rob Scott, a sheep producer from Brandford, Ont., Barbara Johnstone-Grimmer from Pender Island, B.C., and Herman Bouw of Dugald, Man. For more information, call 888684-7739 or email info@cansheep. ca.

It looks and smells a lot like Christmas Couple provides a splash of colour with flower arrangements or poinsettias in an array of colours

BY MARIA JOHNSON FREELANCE WRITER

B L A C K FA L D S, A l t a. — T h e extended fall was welcome, but winter weather propels people into the Christmas mode, said Faye Naylor of the Central Alberta Greenhouses Ltd. The sales consultant at the Blackfalds, Alta., facility called it a doubleedged sword.

“We all want winter to stay away but the cold and snow gets people thinking about Christmas,” she said.

This season, the 84-year-old wholesale greenhouse business shipped 55,000 poinsettias to locations across Alberta, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories and British Columbia.

Owners Rosalie and Kevin Wesenberg, whose greenhouses sit on a 7.5 acre property near Blackfalds, Alta., say the business constantly evolves to market demands.

“We want our customers to see the value in working with us,” said Kevin. “We work to meet their needs and help them to be successful.”

The couple is facing challenges in their competitive industry, including price pressure from over production, increasing labour costs and the low Canadian dollar.

The rewards for their efforts have included the Alberta Greenhouse

Growers Association’s grower of the year and best ornamental for 2015.

Their year round staff tops 35 and climbs to 90 in the spring.

For the past two years, that has included about two dozen workers from Barbados employed under the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program.

“We hire from Barbados mainly because they speak English,” said Kevin.

No language barrier significantly eases the work safety situation, he said, citing difficulties in attracting Canadian workers for seasonal jobs.

Walter Good, Rosalie’s grandfather, started the business by producing mainly tomato plants in 1931 at Rocky Mountain House.

He and his wife, Myrtle, saw an opportunity, taught themselves

• Poinsettias are also known by other names such as Christmas flower, lobster flower and Mexican flame leaf. flower arranging, then shifted their business primarily to florals and relocated to Red Deer in 1949.

Rosalie’s father, Harold, joined the enterprise in 1955 and he and his wife, Gladys, eventually took the reins. Industry growth resulted in them opening seven flower shops around central Alberta.

• The bright petals are actually the upper leaves of the plant called bracts. The flowers are small, green or yellow.

• Poinsettias bloom in cream, lemon, peach, pink and with white and gold-splashed leaves.

Demand for bedding plants and seasonal florals swelled. The construction at the Blackfalds site began in the early 1960s and the entire business relocated there in 1977.

Kevin was hired as a grower in 1991, the same year he and Rosalie married. She came into the business

his holiday season, turn the Christmas turkey carcass into a tasty golden stock for making soups, sauces and stews.

There are a myriad of ways to make stock but a long simmer produces a more flavourful and clearer stock.

Start the roasted bones in cold water. As fat rises to the surface, skim it off every 10 minutes for the first half hour and then every half hour for the next two hours. Chill the completed stock and scrape off the fat that sets on the surface.

An easy way to get a crystal clear stock is to freeze it first. Then defrost it in a sieve over a bowl in the refrigerator. As it melts, a gelatinous blob is formed that strains all impurities. Discard the blob.

Simmer on the stovetop, in the oven or in a crockpot. A quick stock can be made in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes after full pressure is reached. Allow it to cool naturally.

Stock will keep in the refrigerator up to six days or in the freezer up to six months. Freeze in resealable plastic bags by laying them flat until frozen. Then they can be conveniently stacked in the freezer to save space.

The only safe method to preserve stock by canning is with a pressure canner. At sea level, pints are processed at 10 pounds (5 kg) pressure for 75 minutes and quarts at 10 lb.

(5 kg) pressure for 90 minutes.

At altitudes more than 1,000 feet (305 metres), use 15 lb. (7.5 kg) pressure.

Pressure canning makes rich and flavourful stock. After cooling, check that lids have sealed.

Brodo is Italian for broth. This is a long simmered bone broth detoxifying cleanse. Bone broths are a popular trend and touted to be healthful.

Although there is no definitive research to prove they are a super food, they are hydrating, contain collagen that is a protein that may help with bone, joint and skin health and contain vegetable and herb antiinflammatories.

The lighter meal after a period of over indulgence brings your digestion back into balance.

Break the turkey carcass into small pieces and place in a large stock pot with cold water and vinegar. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. During the boiling, a frothy layer will rise to the top. Skim regularly to remove.

Simmer six hours over gentle heat.

If the level of the water drops below the bones during simmering, add water to bring the level back up.

After six hours, add the remaining ingredients and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

Strain through a fine strainer to discard all solids. Return the liquid to the stove. Bring to a moderate boil and cook until the volume has been reduced to four cups (1 L). This step will intensify the flavours of the broth. Then heat oven to 325 F (160 C). Toss garlic in oil and salt and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in oven for 20 minutes until the garlic cloves are lightly browned and softened.

Finish the dish by cutting the peeled, fresh ginger into matchsticks.

Use about 12 per serving. Add about one teaspoon (5 mL) coconut oil and three cloves of roasted garlic per serving. Place the ginger, coconut oil and garlic in the bottom of a soup bowl and pour in six ounces (200 mL) of the hot brodo. Let the ginger and garlic steep for two minutes and serve.

and sizzling, about 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and transfer everything to a stock pot. Be sure to deglaze the roasting pan with a little water and scrape up the brown bits and add to stock pot.

Add thyme, bay leaves, black peppercorns, star anise and tomato paste to stock pot.

Fill with cold water to cover and place over medium high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to maintain a slow simmer. Simmer for a minimum of five hours or simmer for 12-24 hours. Skim the fat off the top regularly to prevent clouding of the stock.

Cool and strain through a sieve.

Discard the solid parts. Refrigerate and use within six days or freeze up to six months.

TURKEY DEMI-GLACE Velvety textured demi-glace is typically made from veal bones because they contain the most gelatin.

The roasted turkey stock is reduced until it is thick and then gels with cooling. With a demi-glace, an intense flavour is imparted without

excess liquid. If you don’t like celery, it can be omitted.

Continue to simmer prepared turkey stock for about four hours. Skim the fat from time to time. The stock will be reduced to a syrupy thickness. It keeps in the refrigerator for six days or frozen for six months.

SCHOOL PRODUCTIONS

Where have all the concerts gone?

BY ROSALIE TENNISON FREELANCE WRITER

Back in the days of one-room schools, snowy rural roads and little winter entertainment, the school Christmas concert drew people from miles around.

From the youngest to the oldest, recitations were memorized, songs were learned and a Christmas pageant most likely ended the evening’s festivities along with a visit from Santa Claus.

With amalgamation, declining rural populations and a move away from Christian influences, the modern performance is now often presented as a holiday concert.

Lori Arthur, a music teacher in Manitoba’s Louis Riel school division, said the entertainment in December has evolved to be a musical production centred around winter.

“My winter concert this year is about a snowstorm in Manitoba and what you can do when it snows,” she

said. “There is no mention of Santa Claus or gifts. Some cultures don’t believe in Santa Claus, so he is not mentioned in my concerts.”

Frances Vestby, who teaches in the Swan Valley school division, said the concerts in her school centre around good will, happiness and being kind.

“We still call our concert a Christmas concert, but there are no religious references,” she said.

The concerts today are more professional in the presentation and are generally a group activity led by the music teacher without too many individual parts, she said.

The changes are driven by cultural awareness, parental direction and suggestions from the administration, said Vestby.

She said the older concert model was more entertaining because each class contributed and more individual children were given roles.

“I believe there are people who want a more traditional Christmas

concert. When I went to school, we sang, we recited, we acted the Christmas story.”

Arthur said she doesn’t get the same support from parents as in the past because of people’s busy lifestyles.

She schedules a full cast closing number to ensure all children get to stay to the end and enjoy the full experience of being part of a fun holiday production.

The days of Joseph making Mary cry by pulling her hair have been replaced by new more secular, polished productions that still rely on children performing in front of their proud parents.

“For me, what we do is still a musical presentation and the kids are giving a wonderful performance,” said Arthur.

“The content is secondary if the kids can shine on stage. I’ve seen shy kids blossom and brave ones struggle. In the end, I want them to enjoy the moment.”

ON THE FARM

Markets collapse but reindeer live on Couple educates people about reindeer by taking their animals to special events, schools and seniors’ homes

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WADENA, Sask. — Elaine and Wes Wirtz remember a time when people thought reindeer did not exist.

“Fifteen years ago, there were still a number of people who thought that reindeer actually were a mythical creature. There were a significant number of adults who didn’t believe us that they were reindeer, but that has changed,” said Elaine.

She credits social media’s farreaching ability to help educate people about the antlered animals.

“Every time we take them out, it just flashes on Facebook all over.

They take pictures and put them on their Facebook page,” she said.

The couple operates South Tundra Reindeer, a small farm on the outskirts of Wadena, Sask.

They recently walked Trinta, one of their yearlings, from the farm to downtown Wadena during a night of Christmas shopping on main street.

Children and adults flocked around, photographed and petted the animals and some even gave a hug.

For years, they have taken their reindeer to various activities around the province, including museum events, school classrooms and senior citizen residences.

Their farmland has been in the family since 1908 when Wes’s grandfather migrated north from Chicago while working for the railroad.

He suffered from asthma and an overnight stop in Wadena provided his first decent night’s sleep in years. Soon after, he bought five quarters of land.

Wes and Elaine purchased several quarters of family land in the 1980s, where they produced grain and cattle while they also worked off farm.

Wes taught school and Elaine was a physiotherapist.

Their four children had already left home when in 1999 Elaine noticed a newspaper ad about reindeer for sale.

Like many, they thought there was money to be made in alternative livestock markets.

But by the time they had stock for sale, the markets had collapsed, in part due to the regulations surrounding chronic wasting disease.

“Reindeer farming really never went anywhere and part of the reason for that was the CWD and the elk closed down all the markets to the States,” said Elaine.

Added Wes: “That’s really what shut everything down.”

They were invested in the animals so they kept them.

“I guess the bottom line is we’re animal people and we’ve come to enjoy the reindeer,” said Elaine.

“On our farm, they became pets,” said Wes. They are among the few reindeer producers left in the province. Currently, interest has been shown from game farms.

“The trophy ranches are coming to us saying ‘when are you going to have some because now people are

Wes and Elaine Wirtz started South Tundra Reindeer in hopes of selling breeding stock but chronic wasting disease closed export markets.

They now raise 16 animals for enjoyment, saying they are small and train well. | WILLIAM DEKAY PHOTOS interested,’ ” said Elaine. “You can’t say that’s a market you’d want to go into because it takes four to five years to grow a bull big enough to be in a trophy ranch.”

They enjoy reindeer because of the animals’ personality.

“They engage you and respond to you. A reindeer will come up and look at you right in the eye — what are you going to feed me.”

She said they’re intelligent, cooperative and train well.

“You can take them into buildings without too much difficulty. I think that’s more because of the centuries of domestication,” said Elaine.

In parts of Eastern Europe, the animals are produced for meat, fur, milk and transportation.

Like their larger cousins, the caribou, reindeer are divided into two groups: tundra and woodland.

Their name comes from an Old Norse word, hreinin, which means horned animal.

Their connection with Christmas grew from Clement Moor’s poem, A Visit from Saint Nicholas (’Twas the Night Before Christmas) in 1823.

Elaine thinks some of the confusion surrounding reindeer may

ON THE FARM

WES & ELAINE WIRTZ Wadena, Sask. come from generations of misinformation. The reindeer pulling Santa’s sled were often much larger than they are in real life.

Elaine and Wes tread lightly with children and their Christmas myths.

“No, this isn’t one of Santa’s reindeer, it’s one that’s on the farm. We might say that they’re in training yet,” said Elaine.

“I personally don’t like to promote them as Santa’s reindeer.

Santa is a mythical figure and these are very real.” william.dekay@producer.com

• Antlers are unique to cervids and usually only found on males • Reindeer females are the only female cervids to grow antlers.

They are normally smaller than those of males.

• Reindeer use their antlers to clear away snow so they can eat the vegetation underneath. This is one possible reason that females of this species evolved antlers.

HAZARDS OF WINTER

Prevent falls with proper footwear, keep warm to prevent illness HEALTH CLINIC

CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

Do you have any helpful hints on how to prevent winter accidents? Several of my older friends have slipped and broken hips by going onto their decks in wet or slippery conditions. Two of them now use walkers to get around.

A:

It is true that older people are more likely to fall and break

bones in the winter months due to slippery conditions. It is not a good idea to go outside onto the deck to feed the birds or get firewood wearing inappropriate footwear.

Change into winter boots with nonslip soles first.

Car accidents are one of the main reasons for injury in the winter, and they are more likely to affect younger people.

Accidents are also the main cause of death in children under the age of 14. They can also slip and fall on ice, and there are many sports related injuries from hockey, tobogganing, skiing, figure skating and snowmobiling.

However, there are also many instances of illness and even death due to less obvious winter-related

conditions. For example, some older people do not heat their houses well enough, in hopes of saving money on heating bills.

There is also the misconception that sleeping in a cold bedroom or with the window open is somehow good for you.

Being constantly cold is a risk factor for older people in particular because they tend to have poor circulation and a lower immune response. They are more at risk of developing complications from flu and colds such as pneumonia, bronchitis and heart failure.

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in people older than 80.

There are additional hazards due to extreme weather conditions

such as blizzards. Environment Canada suggests tying one end of a long rope to your door and holding onto the other end to avoid getting lost in white-out conditions and blinding snow on your acreage or farm. After the storm is over, take it easy when shovelling the path and driveway. Every year, people get heart attacks and strokes as a result of this activity.

Take frequent breaks or get a younger person or a snow removal service to do it for you.

In case of storms leading to power outages, it is advisable to keep an emergency pack with a batterypowered flashlight, a small radio, tools for emergency repair, readyto-eat food such as nuts and chocolate bars, a first aid kit, blankets and

extra warm clothing.

Environment Canada also suggests that you keep your vehicle’s gas tank full in case fuel stations close down after a storm.

Also, have cash on hand in case bank machines and electronic payment methods are down. Computers and modems don’t work without electricity.

Carbon monoxide is another hazard more likely to present a danger in winter when furnaces are running or chimneys can become blocked by snow.

Every home should have a carbon monoxide detector as well as smoke alarms.

REMEMBERING FAMILY

Grieving at Christmas

CANADA’S LARGEST INDOOR FARM SHOW

SPEAKING OF LIFE

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

Last summer, my mother passed away. She had been sick for more than two years and succumbed to cancer. My concern now is about my father at Christmas time. Mom and Dad always made a big deal out of Christmas, buying us more presents than we could possibly want and putting together a wonderful feast.

Dad thinks that he will be OK working through this first Christmas without his wife but I am not so sure. What can my sisters and I do to help our dad through the season?

A:

Christmas is likely to be a difficult time for your father, just as will be his first anniversary or first birthday without her.

Those special moments drive home the impact of the loneliness that grieving carries with it.

Your first task is to make sure that you are OK. I think it is great that you are as sensitive as you are for your father but let’s not forget that you lost your mother.

Don’t spend the Christmas holidays mourning your mom but you do need to give yourself the freedom to miss her. Ask for more hugs from your husband and consideration from your children.

When your father sees you are looking after yourself, he will be more likely to follow suit.

Your dad is not likely to complain or feel sorry for himself if he suspects that you are struggling as well. The two of you can learn to support each other and grieve together.

If you share that compassion, chances are good that all of you will be able to have a Christmas season that carries great joy and good will into the lives of your children.

It’s been about 2 months since our girls, Catie, Jana and Dara passed away suddenly on our farm. Since then, we have been overwhelmed with love and support in every way imaginable. One thing that has really touched us is the support we’ve received from people all over Alberta, our neighboring provinces, all across Canada, and beyond. Many churches, individuals and families just like us, who do not even know us personally, have sent their love and sympathy to us. What an encouragement.

This road we find ourselves on is not an easy one, there’s many different emotions we experience. But it is comforting and helpful to know that there’s a large community out there who have reached out to us, and we want to extend our appreciation back to you. To everyone who has supported us in some way, we want you to know that we have been lifted by every prayer, been encouraged by every card and letter (yes, we’ve read them all), and appreciated the financial support that has come in many ways. It is our hope that we can reach as many of you as possible through this publication to say “Thank you”. Words cannot express our gratitude. God bless you all this Christmas Season and in the coming years.

With much love, Roger, Bonita and Caleb Bott

TILLAGE

Equipment maker continues expansion Salford official says purchase of the company will give customers another option in vertical tillage

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farm machinery maker Salford has bought tillage company Aerway, which has added additional capacity to both companies.

The farmer-designed Aerway was brought to North America from New Zealand in the early 1980s and has become well known in the United States as a pasture tool.

The three-tine roller tillage tool’s least aggressive setting shatters soil and leaves a characteristic dottedslot pattern, but the machine offers aggressive rolling cultivation when set at an angle to the direction of travel.

“Aerway was a great fit for what we are doing at Salford,” said company spokesperson Anson Boak.

“Our company believes strongly in vertical tillage, and the Aerway is just a different approach to that. It gives our customers, and dealers, another option.”

Aerway has built up a market in Texas and the American Southwest, where cattle producers looking to improve pastures use it for soil conditioning and to break up hardpan and reduce compaction.

It is also used as a manure applicator, a pull-between toolbar with a liquid tank and for the turf and vineyard industries.

“Aerway had a working relationship with Valmar (Airflo from Elie, Man.), as they mounted the Valmar units to the Aerway machines to be used for seeding tools,” Boak said.

Salford bought Valmar and fertilizer application equipment maker BBI in the last two years.

Aerway is located 25 kilometres from Salford’s operations in south-

Aerway tillage equipment is popular among cattle and row crop producers to break up soil and reduce compaction. | ern Ontario, which made the logistics “a good fit.”

The two companies were already familiar with each other. Aerway had added an Ingersoll wavy coulter toolbar to its system with a finishing rolling basket or tine harrow from Salford for an all-in-one tillage tool.

“They were customers of ours and we had being doing business

for years,” said Boak.

Valmar didn’t have a field sales force, and BBI, which is based in Cornelia, Georgia, had a small number of representatives. Meanwhile, Aerway has an American marketing network of manufacturers’ representatives that complemented Salford’s short-line dealers.

As a result, the growing company felt the added brand with a strong

livestock following will provide new opportunities.

SAF-Holland of Luxembourg, which owned Aerway until last week, said the agricultural company was not part of its core business.

The European company has more than $1.5 billion in annual sales from its highway truck trailer hitches and axles.

The companies agreed not to dis-

close the purchase price, but SAFHolland said it was “in the low single-digit million (euro) amount.”

Salford has operations in Canada, the U.S. and Russia and is owned by New York-based GenNx360 Capital Partners, a private equity firm that invests in industrial and agricultural business-to-business companies. michael.raine@producer.com

WEED CONTROL

Researchers outline options for wild oat control

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Field trials are looking at row spacing, rotations and herbicides to tackle the problem of wild oats. | FILE PHOTO

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Controlling weeds in oats has always been a problem, but researchers are looking at integrated management strategies that could help.

Eric Johnson of the University of Saskatchewan’s plant sciences department said wild oats, the second most abundant weed on the Prairies, is a major problem because it can’t be selectively removed from cropped oats with a herbicide.

A herbicide screening project for a couple of years resulted in “dead, dead, dead” oats, he told the Prairie Oat Growers Association annual meeting.

Kochia is also becoming a concern. It is the 10th most abundant weed but is becoming resistant to Group 2 herbicides and glyphosate.

“In the U.S., it’s also developing resistance to Group 4s,” Johnson said.

Glyphosate resistant kochia is worst along the South Saskatchewan River in the Leader and Lancer areas of Saskatchewan.

“The big problem down here is that it’s dominated by chem fallow,” Johnson said. “ We really have to rethink chem fallow.”

He said growers are trying tank mixing, which is one solution.

However, in Australia, where glyphosate resistance is a bigger

problem, much of the resistance developed on bare land without competition, he said.

Johnson said adding another herbicide to a tank mix means growers are really only spraying one herbicide and increasing selection pressure.

“We might even have to go back to some tillage if you’re going to fallow.”

He said the real solution is integrated weed management, or “many little hammers” to gain control.

Some of the U of S research is looking at a long-term rotation study based on work done at Lacombe, Alta., in barley.

KNOWING THE NUMBERS

Decision making should take cost of production into account PRECISELY AGRONOMY

THOM WEIR, PAg

D

o you know what it costs to produce that bushel of canola, or wheat or lentils or soybeans, for that matter?

It seems like pretty basic stuff, but I am always surprised when I ask this question to growers and get either a far off gaze or a weak stab with a ballpark number quickly plucked from a recent conversation on coffee row.

I got this reaction recently when I asked the question to a moderately large operator I was visiting to review his fertility plans for the year. I was surprised because this particular grower is aggressive and appeared to be at the top of his game.

I know that he rents quite a bit of his land and am pretty sure he is moderately leveraged with new equipment and buildings. Obviously he has had to supply complete financials to his lenders.

His wife, who was sitting at the table with us, had a better idea of their costs because she did the data entry in their accounting program.

However, she wasn’t sure because she had never drilled into the numbers for the answer.

At this point, I suggested that they calculate these numbers using one of the many calculators that are

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE There, researcher Neil Harker looked at wild oat management in a continuous barley or canola-barley rotation and also at other factors such as cultivars, seeding rates and row spacing.

He found that wild oats could be controlled in barley with fairly low herbicide use if other practices were followed.

The U of S oat study is in its third year and uses rotations of continuous oats, oats-canola-oats-peas and oats-canola-barley-peas at Saskatoon and Indian Head.

Johnson said rotation effects won’t be known for five years, and researchers hope the study will run for 10 years.

They have found that narrower row spacing of eight inches produced better results than row spaces of twice that.

Conversely, wider row spacing resulted in yield decreases of 11 percent in Saskatoon and 10 percent in Indian Head, Sask.

“It’s interesting because the trend in equipment is to go the opposite way,” he said.

“I understand that. I don’t think you change what you’re doing based on a little bit of weed control.”

In Australia, herbicide resistance drives the entire cropping system, and Johnson said Canadian growers fortunately aren’t at that point.

Australian growers are moving back to narrower row spacing and using disc openers.

Oat yields in the presence of wild oats increased seven percent in

available on the web. I also left them with an Excel spreadsheet that I use.

We then set up an appointment for a future visit.

I use this example to highlight one of the biggest shortfalls I encounter when trying to practice agronomy.

Probably more than one of you are now asking, “what does this have to do with agronomy?”

Agronomy is made up of three disciplines, including soil and plant sciences as they apply to soil management and crop production.

However, agronomy also includes economics.

Sometimes agronomists forget about this component when making recommendations. It is easy to concentrate on the best that technology has to offer, but it is more difficult to make recommendations based on what is best for the long-term health of the farming enterprise.

I have stressed with farmers that the basis of a strong production plan is to go back to the basics and start with a retrospective of last year’s production. Go right down to the crop and the cost to produce a bushel of that crop.

This information, plus a cost of production plan for next year, will allow farmers to make cropping decisions and land rental agreements and provide a specific target on what they need to achieve when they sell the remainder of this year’s production.

As well, the narrower row spacing reduced wild oat seed production by 30 percent in Saskatoon and 82 percent in Indian Head.

The doubled seeding rate resulted in 51 percent less wild oats seed production in Saskatoon and 20 percent less in Indian Head.

The results indicate promise for wild oat control, but Johnson said researchers also recognize that sometimes growers need a big hammer.

An experiment that used the label rate and a doubled rate of several herbicides from several groups found three herbicides that have promise for kochia control: • Cadet, a Group 14 soybean herbicide, was effective on kochia but not many other weeds, he said. It isn’t available in Western Canada.

• Benchmark, which is no longer available but that contained a Group 2 and Group 6 combination, worked well despite Group 2 resistance.

• Infinity, a Group 27 and Group 6 product that is not registered in oats, also performed well.

“We will talk to Bayer and the provincial minor use co-coordinator about perhaps getting Infinity registered in oats,” Johnson said.

tile. Once these numbers are known, it’s simple to work out the yield-price combination that will be needed to turn a profit.

For example, let’s say a farmer’s calculations show that the total cost of production to grow a top canola variety is $360 per acre. If the farmer grows a 40 bushel canola crop, he will need to sell it for $9 per bushel to break even.

However, if he only harvests a 30 bu. crop, the farmer will need to sell it for more than $12 per bu. to turn a profit.

The fact is your operation can’t provide you and your family with a targeted income if it doesn’t know its true costs and what it needs from its various crops.

And yes, the cost of production should include paying yourself.

How often have you heard, “pay yourself first?” If you don’t know what your costs are, how can you pay yourself?

SOILS

Erosion threatens food production TORONTO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; One-third of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arable land has been lost to soil erosion or pollution in the last 40 years, scientists said in research published during climate change talks in Paris.

It takes about 500 years to generate 2.5 centimetres of topsoil under normal agricultural conditions, and soil loss has accelerated as demand for food rises, biologists from Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sheffield University said in the report.

Preserving valuable topsoil is crucial if the world is to produce enough food for more than nine billion people by 2050, the scientists said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Soil is lost rapidly but replaced over millennia, and this represents one of the greatest global threats to agriculture,â&#x20AC;? Sheffield University

biology professor Duncan Cameron said in a statement with the report.

He recommended that farmers engage in â&#x20AC;&#x153;conservation agriculture,â&#x20AC;? in which crops are rotated more frequently, organic matter is restored to the soil.

Intensive farming now maintains crop yields through the use of fertilizers, which are made by an industrial process that consumes five percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural gas production and two percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual energy supply, the report said.

French officials recently launched a plan to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Backed by the United Nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food and Agriculture Organization, it aims to increase carbon stocks to boost soil fertility.

Provide the right stuff for 200 bu. per acre wheat Treat wheat as a real crop, not just for rotations anymore

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A wheat crop in Lincolnshire, England, yielded 246 bushels per acre this year.

It broke a record set previously in New Zealand of 233 bu. per acre.

Peter Johnson thinks prairie farmers set their sights too low when it comes to wheat yields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wheat is the most responsive crop we grow to management, and yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the crop that we manage the least,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson, a former wheat specialist with Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture ministry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Across the world itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just kind of a rotation cropâ&#x20AC;Ś. Wheat, you just put it in the ground, you expect a good yield and if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mad at it.â&#x20AC;?

Johnson told the Dec. 8-9 Farming Smarter conference that England and New Zealand have maritime climates with longer growing seasons, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe water limits are the reason for lower wheat yields on the Prairies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does need water, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t argue with that, but boy, it does not need as much water to get high yields as what a lot of people think,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He said the real key is to manage for high yields and cultivate a mindset that wheat is a real crop that can yield 200 bu. per acre if given the right conditions.

Those conditions begin with variety selection. In the United Kingdom, development of dwarf varieties was key to yield increases. So was the arrival of improved fungicides that increased the cropâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nitrogen use.

In Canada, wheat breeders were once handicapped by the need to maintain kernel visual distinguishability, said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to breed in handcuffs because of the quality parameters that they had to fit. I think you should worship the ground that (Agriculture Canada wheat breeder) Ron DePauw walks on.â&#x20AC;?

In a later speech about wheat breeding, DePauw agreed that new rules have made a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has certainly freed up our abilities, our resources, to target other traits.â&#x20AC;?

RON DEPAUW WHEAT BREEDER

Cereal yield has three components: heads per sq. metre, grains per head and the weight of each kernel.

Even minor improvements to any one of these will increase yield, but the biggest gains can be made if the crop has optimum conditions at the head-filling stage.

Johnson said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider seeding rate to be as important as other factors. A low rate simply increases tillers for the same number of heads per sq. metre.

He also believes in splitting nitro-

gen applications. Properly timed nitrogen can increase tillers, and one more tiller means 35 more kernels per sq. foot. If fertility leads to one more seed per head, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 65 more kernels per sq. foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(At anthesis), if I go from 35 to 48 or to 54 seeds per head, man, the yield potential is unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Johnson said growers in southern Alberta see 50 percent of potential wheat yields. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That really stinks. We could do a lot better.â&#x20AC;?

Ideal temperatures for wheat are 18 C during the day and 10 C at night, and those conditions arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon in the region.

He recommended early planting so there is more grain fill during lower temperatures and less in the highest heat of summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The earlier we can get it to head, the more yield potential weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have.â&#x20AC;?

He said fungicide timing is also a key yield driver. Small plot data indicates an eight to 10 percent yield increase from fungicides, and the later they are used, the greater that increase.

DePauw said numerous promising new wheat varieties are in development, and there is already potential for 100 bu. per acre yields of hard red spring on dry land and 150 bu. under irrigation.

He said wheat breeding is entering a new and exciting era. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish I was starting my career over againâ&#x20AC;? because of the potential that exists in wheat improvements. barb.glen@producer.com

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — A small pork company in Saskatchewan has adopted a determined approach to keep itself relevant in the competitive world of meat processing.

Moose Jaw’s Thunder Creek Pork is the only federally inspected processing plant in Saskatchewan.

Most hogs come from Saskatchewan farms, but the pork may be shipped to nearby stores on Moose Jaw’s Main Street or a restaurant in Japan.

A single carcass can end up in six countries, said Tyler Wiebe, hog procurement manager.

Heads, ears, liver and kidneys may go to China, loins could end up in Japan and legs are sent to the United States.

“We try and sell everything but the oink,” he said.

“The only thing we can’t sell is the large intestines or lungs because we are a scalding plant and they are full of water. We don’t save uteri or pancreas but we do save small intestines for the pharmaceutical industry.”

The plant was taken over by Donald’s Fine Foods in British Columbia in 2010 after previous owners had failed.

It had unsteady first steps before it was able to increase to its daily capacity of 1,200 hogs.

Hog supply was limited when the plant reopened because producers were committed to other contracts and some were distrustful after bad experiences with past owners.

“Our first day was only 40 head and it took us eight hours,” Wiebe said.

However, Donald’s had a strong marketing plan to help the plant through the early rough patches.

“It was the clientele that was already established throughout the company,” he said.

The plant now handles domestic and export pork every day, and four container loads of fresh, chilled pork leave for Japan every week.

Japanese clients regularly visit the plant and watch as meat is packed on a container truck. The same people then inspect the meat when it arrives in Japan.

The Japanese are particular.

Colour meters are used to make sure the pork is the right shade of pink, and four employees are dedicated to check for colour, blood splash, bruises, firmness and proper weight.

The Japanese also want particular breeds of pigs, although they have not asked for higher food safety specifications, said plant manager Steve Ma. “Our CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) has done a really good job, and I think they trust our

Canadian standards,” he said.

The plant has also received an A plus rating from the international

food safety and quality auditor BRC Global Standards, and it is a ractopamine free plant, which means it can ship pork to China.

The farms that sell to the plant range from two to 1,500 sows. It does not offer forward contracts but has pricing agreements to supply pigs that provide a dressed carcass weighing 93 to 98 kilograms.

“The buying radius is primarily Saskatchewan with the radius being about five and a half hours,” said Wiebe.

“All of our hogs are under agree-

ment with (Hutterite) colonies and farmers around here.”

The company offers brands as varied as Primrose Farms, Britco Pork, Savoury Choice and Paradise Valley to identify pigs raised outdoors.

The pasture pigs are raised in B.C. and are processed at the company’s plant in Langley, B.C. The Moose Jaw plant is probably at capacity at this point because it does not have more cooler space.

“We want to do it as smart as we can because we don’t want to affect our quality,” Wiebe said.

“We’ll take our time in figuring out how we can get more hogs through the plant.”

Wiebe and Ma started working at the plant as teenagers, sweeping floors and doing odd jobs.

Staffing problems are a continuing challenge. The company used temporary foreign workers but backed away when the government changed the program requirements.

Six foreign workers are employed at the plant, and it tries to help newcomers become permanent residents.

“Most of them are residents. Most people that came here are already a citizen or a resident,” said Ma. The plant once experienced 100 percent turnover, but staff is now more stable.

“We have a really good screening program,” said Ma. “We do an orientation and a walk through the plant to make sure they are comfortable with it and meet the supervisor before orientation. I think that helped quite a bit.”

He conceded that a job in this industry is not for everybody.

“I have been working at this industry for more than 20 years and I have seen a lot of people come and go,” he said.

“It is hard work but to me this job is rewarding because you accomplish something every day.” barbara.duckworth@producer.com

WATER QUALITY

Smarter nutrient use in everyonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best interest That said, the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle arm of the lake, which feeds Buffalo Pound Lake, does experience algal blooms. Last summer, Regina and Moose Jaw were under water restrictions because the treatment plant couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle the algae.

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pristine water from the Rocky Mountains is loaded with nutrients by the time it reaches Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake Diefenbaker, says a water expert.

Howard Wheater, director of the Global Institute for Water Security at the University of Saskatchewan, said researchers are keeping an eye on water coming from the mountains through Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s river systems and into the lake.

Nitrogen and phosphorous are entering the lake, but phosphorous is by far the most concerning to scientists. It can lead to significant algal blooms that cause water quality issues and problems for water treatment systems.

Wheater said the phosphorous is settling into the lake sediment and remaining unavailable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last couple of years, what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen is about 86 percent of phosphorous thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming into the lake is staying in the lake,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview during the Saskatchewan Irrigation Projects Association conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sink.â&#x20AC;?

Wheater said sunlight is critical to making phosphorous bioavailable.

The big loads of nutrients that are coming down the rivers have been accompanied by a lot of turbulence a n d s e d i m e n t s , w h i c h h av e restricted the light and kept algal activity minimized.

We really have to work to be more smart in the way in which we manage the environment and be more efficient about the way in which we use nutrients in agriculture, and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win for everybody.

HOWARD WHEATER RESEARCHER

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The concerns for the future really are if we would get increasing temperature with a warmer climate, and perhaps reducing flows and having clearer water, then that might well lead to mobilization and algal blooms,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we should be aiming to do our best to reduce the input of nutrients to the system.â&#x20AC;?

Wheater said research clearly shows the nutrient loading is occurring in Alberta. He said cities have invested heavily in advanced water treatment systems, so even though populations are increasing,

the nutrient load should be decreasing.

This is more difficult in smaller communities that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t invest in new technologies.

Agriculture is contributing to the problem, and Wheater said watershed associations are doing good work with producers to educate them and help find resources.

Creating buffer strips, retaining wetlands and other beneficial management practices help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them, of course, are in the farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; financial interest and some are not,â&#x20AC;? Wheater said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really have to work to be more smart in the way in which we manage the environment and be more efficient about the way in which we use nutrients in agriculture, and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win for everybody.â&#x20AC;?

He said nutrient loading of water bodies is a global problem that crosses many boundaries and involves many players.

The water instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s South Saskatchewan River Basin Project is one of 10 Global Energy and Water Exchanges initiatives and the only one in North America. It is looking at water management, quality, quantity, social issues, policy and economy.

ANIMAL WELFARE

Oral pain control ready for cattle Meloxicam can be administered through drench or added to feed

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

An orally administered liquid pain reliever for cattle is now available through Canadian veterinarians.

Meloxicam Oral Suspension was developed by Solvet, a Calgarybased manufacturer of animal health products.

The Canadian Beef Cattle Code of Practice directs cattle producers to provide pain control for castration and dehorning as of Jan. 1.

Dr. Merle Olson, vice-president of research and development at Solvet, said the timing of the product’s release is fortuitous, but the company had been working on its development for four years.

“There’s nothing else like it in North America,” he said.

“Anything done to animals that we can provide pain control … we’re all aboard with that.”

Meloxicam as an injectable product has been available for pain relief for several years, but this is the first product that can be administered through drench or applied

to feed. Olson said it will be available only through veterinarians, and Solvet has spent the weeks since the Oct. 5 registration approval meeting with veterinarians to acquaint them with the product.

Meloxicam Oral Suspension is the only product labelled specifically for pain relief related to castration.

Anything done to animals that we can provide pain control … we’re all aboard with that.

DR. MERLE OLSON RESEARCHER

However, it can also be used under veterinary approval for relief of pain related to other procedures such as branding and dehorning.

Dosage is determined by weight of the animal, and Olson said research shows the product will provide a therapeutic dose of pain relief for three days.

“This is the beauty of this product. Our research showed three-

day pain control. It’s like taking an Advil and it works for three days.”

Research on the product’s effectiveness was done by measuring animals’ cortisol levels and heart rate and by monitoring their behaviour after castration in terms of activity and feeding.

Withdrawal period in cattle is 35 days.

Olson said the company is working to get the product labelled for other food animal species, including horses.

The liquid product is tasteless and can be delivered through feed to animals such as elk and bison, which are more difficult to handle.

“We tried to make it as simple and user friendly as we can.”

Prices will vary by clinic.

Solvet is the veterinary arm of ADL, which manufactures more than 35 products in its Calgary plant and has 80 employees.

Its first product was an ivermectin pour-on product, which helped reduce the flow of ivermectin from the United States through the Own Use Import program, Olson said. barb.glen@producer.com

CALVING PROBLEMS

Calving: when to watch, when to help ANIMAL HEALTH

ROY LEWIS, DVM

C

attle producers have a lot of ideas on how best to stimulate a weak calf that doesn’t want to breathe.

With calving season just around the corner, here are some of my experiences as to what works and what doesn’t.

There are many reasons why calves come out slow and weak, and recognizing when these conditions might occur could give producers a heads up.

Producers who provide assistance for either fetal oversize and a harder pull or when a malpresentation occurs must be aware that time is running out and that a weaker calf that is barely alive is a definite possibility.

Other instances include a cow that has been sick and losing weight or has experienced an abnormality during pregnancy.

A cow that is losing body condition in late pregnancy could be carrying twins, so it is a good idea after any assisted calving to carefully examine the uterus for either tears or another calf.

Producers who find another calf need to assist in its delivery immediately.

There are various forms of resuscitation, but it’s important to establish breathing and get oxygenation to the blood, especially if there is a strong heartbeat.

One thing we know for sure is that

the old method of hanging calves to remove fluid does no good and is actually harmful because all the organs push down by gravity on the chest and make it more difficult to breath. The fluid that does come out is generally draining out from the stomachs.

It’s much better to get the calf in a sitting up frog legged position so that both lungs can get air equally, which is similar to what would happen in a standing calf.

Extend the neck forward to open the airways and wipe away any large amounts of mucous around the mouth.

Good calf resuscitators are available that can simply bathe the area in extra oxygen to help with breathing if it is not strong. Some of these will also provide suction.

Mouth to mouth resuscitation doesn’t provide much benefit because the air simply goes down the esophagus and inflates the stomach rather than getting into the lungs where it needs to go.

Producers who are working with a calf whose breathing is slow but has a stronger heartbeat can stimulate breathing by either sticking a straw up the nostril, pouring cold water in the ear or putting cold snow in the ear to irritate the calf and get it going.

Calving problems have been greatly reduced in today’s cow-calf operations, so resuscitation shouldn’t be a routine occurrence unless it is a hard calving or there has been a delay in getting the calf out, such as occurs with a full breech birth.

It sometimes pays with hard calvings to stop pulling and let the calf get a few breaths, particularly when the rib cage is out and before the tight hips are pulled through.

The calf may bellow because it is

alive then and feels the pain, so be aware of this response.

Producers who are getting too many weak calves should look at several factors in their herd management.

For example, is intervention too slow, especially in the case of heifers?

The clock is ticking once the calving process has started and regardless of whether the water bag has broken. Many producers used to think they had lots of time if the water bag had not broken, and that simply isn’t true.

It’s a good rule to intervene in one to one and a half hours if no progress has been made.

Time is particularly in short supply in breech births (backward with both back legs ahead) and torsions, so it’s imperative to be ready to stimulate the calf.

The navel is essentially broken once the calf ’s tail head comes through the pelvis in a backward calving, and the calf will try to start breathing. This is where a faster pull from that point forward will save calves and why it’s important to always assist a backward calf when possible.

Another way to preempt the need for resuscitation is to check a calf’s viability by putting fingers in its mouth to check the swallowing or gag reflex. A weak reflex is a good sign that the calf will be sluggish when delivered.

As well, a calf that is overly active and thrashing around could be a sign that it is oxygen deprived and time is running out. It will be important for producers to get them out as soon as possible and use their resuscitation skills .

As new technologies are introduced and the veterinary profession changes, the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) continues to find innovative ways to provide its students with high quality training that adequately prepares them for their careers.

When students from the college’s 50th class complete their degrees in 2019, they will be the first to experience some of the latest in medical simulation techniques, thanks to the new B.J. Hughes Clinical Learning Centre. The new centre will give students a chance to practise clinical techniques and hone their skills before they begin working with live animals. The lab’s flexible learning space will offer the college’s faculty the opportunity to teach various levels of simulation – from running through client scenarios with actors to practising surgical techniques on computerized mannequins and models.

The centre is just one of several new initiatives that will take the college into the future. One new program is the college’s veterinary social work program — the first of its kind in Canada. Social worker Erin Wasson joined the WCVM as a clinical associate in 2015 after completing her master’s practicum at the college and helping to develop the innovative program. Wasson’s days include everything from counselling families with the grief of losing a pet to helping livestock producers cope with the hardship of herd loss. She is also available to help counsel faculty, staff and students who may need extra support.

The WCVM is also working to address the lack of veterinary services available in northern communities with its new service learning program that was launched in 2013. Each year, the college works with northern representatives and volunteers to provide two spay-neuter clinics for the communities of La Ronge, Air Ronge and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.

These low-cost services are facilitated with the help of local community groups and the Northern Animal Rescue (NAR) volunteer organization. This hands-on clinical rotation allows students the opportunity to learn how to deliver veterinary service to remote, rural and indigenous communities where there’s a critical need for veterinary care.

The college has also worked to address the changing roles that veterinarians play in the work force by collaborating with the University of Saskatchewan’s Edwards School of Business. The new program allows students to earn a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and Master of Business Administration (MBA) with only one additional year of study.

Both the WCVM and Edwards have worked to provide tuition support for students who undertake this unique program that prepares them for a wide array of career possibilities — from opening their own clinic to working in the veterinary industry or advising government.

As we celebrate 50 years, the WCVM is working hard to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine, introducing new facilities and programs that will allow graduates to become leaders in their field.

ALTONA, Man. — It’s a busy day at B and S Farm, with Eldon Klippenstein on the phone with his broker, hedging 2016-17 corn.

He’s multitasking, organizing quality samples of the pedigree seed and commercial beans and soybeans he’ll sell this year and also planning his crop mix.

New office furniture is sitting in boxes on the floor, waiting to be assembled, whenever there’s time between overseeing the operations of a 5,000 acre joint venture farm, a seed business, a small trucking company and a new grain trading business.

It’s the life of the contemporary farmer. It demands many skills, far beyond those needed by previous generations. It also demands the ability to let go of many aspects of farming and trust others who have special skills.

Klippenstein needs to be able to handle everything from cash flow management to human resources (the farm employs three full-time staff) and marketing to succession planning.

It’s a bewildering set of demands that Klippenstein’s practical, incisive mind seems to be able to handle.

“It seems to keep rolling,” is his pithy comment, apparently unrattled by the multiple skill demands he faces daily.

Unlike many farmers, Klippenstein wasn’t born into farming.

He was born in Mexico and came to Manitoba as nine-year-old in the late 1990s when the family settled in Altona.

After high school he managed a department in a local grocery store and then sold cars for five years.

He got married, and his wife’s family encouraged the newlyweds to consider farming.

“I always said ‘no,’ ” said Klippenstein. “I equated farming with sitting in a tractor and being bored. I needed more than sitting in a tractor.”

His in-laws were persistent and eventually he began to look at farming with less jaded eyes.

He and Pamela eventually bought land beside her family’s farm, trading labour for the use of equipment

Eldon Klippenstein sees himself as the hub, receiving expert advice from professionals, assessing it and making decisions about what actions to take. | ED WHITE PHOTO thinks must be made for his marketing plan to work.

He also relies on FarmLink Marketing for cash flow and marketing advice.

His lawyer understands farming, as does his banker, and he has accountants he trusts. They all offer good advice.

And that’s where Klippenstein thinks the modern farmer fits in.

“You fill the gaps between the professionals,” he said, describing himself and other farmers as “the hub.”

Being able to rely on competent professionals is essential for today’s vast, complex farms, in which no farmer is able to handle everything.

However, the professionals offer various and sometimes conflicting advice that must be balanced and assessed, leading to actions.

That’s the farmer’s job.

When managing human resources, he relies mostly on the golden rule: “Treat others the way you would like to be treated. It’s pretty simple.”

And because he has good people surrounding him, his weaknesses are covered.

“I can’t fix stuff properly,” he notes, relieved that he has people

with mechanical skills.

He keeps up with the escalating skill demands and new technology by reading a lot of newspaper and magazine articles, attending a lot of workshops, going to many conferences and talking to the professionals he trusts.

“You’re dealing with so much more change.”

Far from the boring, tractor-sitting job he thought farming was, Klippenstein has found a complex and demanding business that suits him.

“It’s an interesting gig, what I’m doing now, compared to what I used to do.”

There are no signs that it will become any less interesting in coming years as farming continues to increase the demands placed on farmers and the professionals who serve them. ed.white@producer.com

and other farming essentials.

He also spent two years in the University of Manitoba’s agriculture diploma program, studying ag business.

In a nice surprise, “we discovered there’s a fair bit to learn.” He found he loved marketing and management and that those were key to modern farm success.

Since then, Klippenstein has been helping develop a three-farm joint venture that he manages.

Family member involvement can grow and shrink within the overall operation, allowing for succession issues to be resolved gradually and creating maximum use of equipment and resources.

He and Pamela also run E2 Trucking and Red River Grain, and Pamela’s accounting and bookkeeping skills help make sure the numbers all add up for the multiple operations.

One of Klippenstein’s prime skills is the ability to find and trust agriculture-focused professionals.

The broker on the morning phone call, Keith Ferley, “understands farms,” Klippenstein said. That trust allows Klippenstein to offload the task of placing the hedges he

BUSINESS STRUCTURE

What happens when a partnership changes or ends?

MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

GRANT DIAMOND

A

business partnership agreement should recognize that people come and go in our lives and businesses. It should be drafted in a way that accommodates change so as to avoid problems later on.

A partner might want to leave, so the agreement should anticipate how to buy out that person’s interest.

The partners might want to welcome a new person. How does that person buy in?

And a partner might die. How does the deceased ownership interest pass to the estate, and how is it taxed?

ADDING A NEW PARTNER Under law, all partners must agree to the admission of a new partner unless the partnership agreement permits otherwise.

As well, if there are no specific instructions in an agreement, it is assumed that new partners will have the same rights and obligations of existing partners.

Care should be taken to ensure that the addition of the new partner does not create a new partnership or dissolve the existing one.

In particular, the agreement should specify the required contribution, participation rights, liability before and after admission and management role of the new partner. A firm integration plan needs to be outlined.

There are two ways a new partner may be admitted to a partnership: • The new partner acquires the interest from one or more partners.

AG FINANCE NOTE PRODUCER AWARDED FARM MANAGEMENT SCHOLARSHIP Mark Brock of Staffa, Ont., has won the Robert (Bob) L. Ross scholarship.

Brock will receive free tuition to Agri-Food Management Excellence’s CTEAM program as well as up to $4,000 toward travel expenses.

Agri-Food Management Excellence administers the scholarship with Farm Management Canada, Family Farms Group and the Ross family.

Brock farms with his family at Shepherd Creek Farms Ltd., where they grow 1,500 acres of wheat, soybeans, corn, edible beans and hay and raise 500 breeding ewes.

He is chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario and has been involved in farm organizations for several years.

The scholarship’s aim is to help a Canadian farmer continue on the path of farm management excellence. It was created last year in memory of Bob Ross, a dairy farmer and farm business consultant from St. Marys, Ont.

• The new partner acquires interest by contributing capital to the partnership.

In the former method, a new partner acquires his interest from one or more partners. Those partners will be deemed to have disposed of a portion of their interest for proceeds equal to the consideration received from the new partner. A capital gain or loss may result.

In the latter method, the acquisition cost, which is assumed to be at fair market value, is now the partner’s adjusted cost base.

T h e o t h e r p a r t n e r s a re n o t deemed to have disposed of a portion of their interest. As a result, no tax consequences is associated with the existing partners.

DEATH OR DISABILITY What happens if the partnership is automatically dissolved?

Without a partnership agreement, rights do not transfer to successors, heirs or executors when a partner dies because the relationship is specific to the partnership.

However, the partners can use an agreement to stipulate that death or disability does not dissolve the obligations of the remaining partners and the rights of the withdrawing partners.

DEEMED DISPOSITION From a tax perspective, the death of a partner usually results in the

deemed disposition of his partnership interest on the date of death, and the estate then represents the partner until the partnership interest is settled.

The partnership agreement usually addresses the immediate sale to the existing surviving partners or the admission of a replacement partner, such as a spouse or child.

Many farm partnerships, which may only include the spouses, create a scenario where the surviving spouse is now the only member of the partnership.

Unless a child or another individual replaces the spouse that has died, the partnership automatically dissolves and we have dispositions of partnership interests for

both spouses. The partnership assets are now those of the surviving spouse.

The assets transfer at cost, except for the capital gain-loss on the disposition of the partnership interests.

There are no tax consequences.

The partnership is deemed to continue if children replace the deceased.

A professionally prepared partnership agreement will address these scenarios, so it is always prudent to involve tax and legal professionals when preparing such an agreement.
