Railways ordered to pay $7.2M CN and CP exceeded the revenue cap by about $9 million in 2014-15, says transport agency

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Canada’s two biggest railway companies have been ordered to surrender nearly $9 million in excess revenue and another $450,000 in fines because they exceeded their maximum revenue entitlements for moving western Canadian grain

the 2014-15 crop year.

In a Dec. 29 ruling, the Canada Transportation Agency ordered Canadian National Railway to pay more than $7.2 million, including $6.9 million in excess revenues and about $343,000 in fines.

Canadian Pacific Railway was ordered to repay nearly $2.25 million, including more than $2.1 million in

excess revenue and $106,000 in fines.

Maximum revenue entitlements (MREs), also known as railway revenue caps, limit the revenue railways can generate from moving a tonne of western Canadian grain.

The CTA ruling says CN moved 20.3 million tonnes of regulated western Canadian grain in 2014-15 and collected revenues of $745 mil-

lion, about $6.9 million more than its MRE of $738 million.

CN’s average length of haul was 1,627 kilometres, the ruling said.

CP moved nearly 21 million tonnes of grain and collected revenue of $724 million, about $2.1 million more than its MRE of $722 million.

RAILWAYS ORDERED TO PAY » CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 CP’s average haul was approximately 1,425 kilometres.

The railways have 30 days to submit their payments. Excess revenue and fines must be submitted to the Western Grain Research Foundation, which uses the money to fund agricultural research.

It is unclear if either railway intends to appeal.

In a Jan. 4 email, CN spokesperson Mark Hallman said CN is reviewing the ruling but had no further comment.

CP spokesperson Jeremy Berry said his company is also reviewing the decision.

“Structuring rates for western grain is complex, given various unpredictable factors such as weather, grain volumes and other market factors that will vary from year to year,” Berry said. “Market factors are a key driving force when it comes to pricing structures.”

MREs are based on a complex formula that considers various factors such as fuel prices, labour costs, hopper car leasing and maintenance costs, and the cost of capital.

Railway officials have been lobbying Ottawa for years for the removal of MREs. Grain shippers, meanwhile, say the revenue caps are an effective way to keep grain freight rates in check in the absence of a more competitive environment.

Norm Hall, president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, said Canada’s major railways typically exceed their MREs by a small amount each year.

“When you look at the (railways’) gross revenues of $600 million to $700 million each for grain, for CN that’s about a one percent error … and for CP, it’s around 0.3 percent, which in the big scheme of things isn’t too bad.” brian.cross@producer.com

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

Doha trade round likely dead: WTO

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

The World Trade Organization’s Doha round appears dead after members recently dealt separately with export subsidies, which were one of the three areas on which agricultural negotiations are based.

Countries agreed at the WTO ministerial meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, in December to eliminate agricultural export subsidies but didn’t agree on whether to push forward with negotiations on market access and domestic support.

Doha was launched in 2001 with an ambitious agenda to lower trade barriers and help poorer countries develop. However, talks have stalled, leading countries to negotiate bilateral and regional trade agreements instead.

Claire Citeau, executive director of the Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance, said the organization was disappointed with the Nairobi decision.

She said the Doha round was sup-

posed to address all three areas, and the Nairobi agreement doesn’t mean any substantial benefits for Canadian exporters.

“I think it’s been an ongoing disappointment that the negotiations have not yet achieved the objectives that were set out for market access and domestic support,” she said.

“Our members don’t really have concerns about export credits or export subsidies. I think some sectors might benefit from the end of export credit, maybe cereals and sugar to some extent, but overall if you look back at the original objectives, there is really a lot left on the table.”

Errol Halkai, trade analyst and acting director of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said eliminating export subsidies was a case of picking the low-hanging fruit.

All members had agreed for a long time that export subsidies were the most trade distorting and should be eliminated, he added.

However, he said he was sur-

pr ised the meeting in Kenya resulted in anything at all.

“The way things were going into Nairobi, there was a lot of pessimism about anything being achieved,” he said.

Halkai said the last several WTO ministerial meetings have not come up with anything of substance, and a work plan to further the Doha negotiations has been elusive.

However, he said there was pressure to produce something.

The decision on export subsidies affects developing and least developed countries more than others and gives them a sense that the WTO is addressing their concerns.

It would affect Canadian dairy exports, but a side deal for dairy and some products from other

countries won’t require an immediate elimination of subsidies.

As well, the Nairobi decision is not binding.

“None of the terms of this agreement are subject to dispute resolution as everything else that WTO comes up with is,” Halkai said.

“This is based on good faith.”

Citeau said Canada would prefer a strong multilateral agreement because bilateral and regional agreements have their limitations.

“They are generally limited to market access negotiations and don’t address disparities in domestic and export support so that’s why, while they are good and needed, they cannot be a substitute for the multilateral trading system,” Citeau said.

Halkai said the WTO is the only place to address domestic support, and it also offers dispute resolution.

“That’s a big issue for us because we face the U.S., which is the biggest user of domestic support, and the EU (European Union), and so that’s the only forum where we can address those,” he said.

The WTO now must decide on whether to continue with Doha negotiations, he added. Many believe there is no point, but no one wants to say that publicly, he added.

Ministerial meetings are held every two years. Halkai said a WTO decision to officially declare Doha dead would likely require ministerial approval. karen.briere@producer.com

The Doha round was launched in 2001 with the aim to lower trade barriers and help poorer countries develop, but talks stalled and participating countries opted to negotiate bilateral and regional trade agreements instead.

2015

YEAR IN REVIEW

Major political changes in Alberta and in Ottawa are two highlights of last year. The Western Producer was there for all the key agricultural stories of 2015.

Here are some of them.

See pages 26-27 for more.

JANUARY: GRAIN COMMISSION: The federal government tabled legislation to change Canada’s producer payment security system. Bill C-48, the Modernization of Canada’s Grain Industry Act, would allow the Canadian Grain Commission to create a producer compensation fund to protect growers when a licensed grain buyer fails to pay for deliveries. The bill was never passed.

LAND OWNERSHIP: Saskatchewan announced a review of its farmland ownership laws in an attempt to close loopholes that raised the ire of producers. Assiniboia Farmland Limited Partnership closed a $128 million deal in January 2014 to sell 115,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

The province’s Farm Land Security Board approved the deal despite rules that prevent pension funds from buying farmland. It said the board had a unique corporate structure that allowed it to circumvent the rules.

Another case that could be addressed in the proposed legislative changes is Skyline Agriculture Financial Corp., a foreign company that developed a complex structure of loans, derivatives and hedging in an effort to comply with the province’s land ownership laws.

RAIL CARS WANTED: Grain shippers released their first weekly report on rail performance, and the picture wasn’t pretty.

“Railways, CN and CP combined, have fallen short of shipper demand by slightly more than 11,000 hopper cars and approximately 200 box cars,” said Milt Poirier, a partner in QGI Consulting and author of the report.

CANOLA DISEASE: Manitoba agriculture leaders urged farmers not to panic about the discovery of a verticillium wilt. Farmers were told to learn how to spot it and prevent it from spreading. With only one known field infected, there is a chance it can be eradicated, said Ed Rempel, president of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association.

FEBRUARY PED WARNING: Hog producers were warned they were entering the riskiest time of year for getting porcine epidemic diarrhea in their barns. Canada had 86 premises with the deadly disease in slightly more than a year since the first case of PED was confirmed.

INCOME BOOST: Canadian farmers were making good money, according to a new report from Agriculture Canada. Aggregate net cash income for 2014 was projected at $14 billion, 10 percent higher than the previous record. The preliminary forecast for 2015 is for net cash income to fall to $13 billion, but that would still be 21 percent higher than the five-year average. Average net operating income at the farm level was forecast at an all-time high of $78,139 for 2014.

BROADACRE BROKE: A judge approved a plan to retain the executives of a failed large Saskatchewan farm to oversee the sale of its assets. The Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta approved the plan for Broadacre, which was granted bankruptcy protection Nov. 4. Broadacre was farming 65,000 acres of Saskatchewan farmland when it went out of business.

UNNECESSARY SPRAYING: Surveys and anecdotal evidence suggested 80 percent of Manitoba farmers used neonicotinoid seed treatments when growing soybeans. The province’s entomologist was concerned by that figure because less than 20 percent of soybean crops in the province actually required an insecticidal seed treatment.

MARCH CATTLE NUMBERS: Healthy market prices continued to discourage Canadian cattle herd expansion. The latest inventory numbers from Statistics Canada showed the smallest cattle herd since 1993 at 11.9 million as of Jan. 1.

Total cattle inventory dropped 2.5 percent from Jan. 1, 2014. The domestic beef cow herd, at 3.8 million head, was down two percent from a year ago.

GLYPHOSATE WARNING: The World Health Organization released a controversial report classifying glyphosate as

“probably carcinogenic to humans.”

Ariel Fenster, a McGill chemistry professor and founding member of the university’s Office for Science & Society, said the WHO report was startling because the organization said glyphosate is a probable cause of cancer rather than a possible cause. A working group of 17 experts at the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer issued a report on the carcinogenicity of five pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used herbicide in the world.

RAILWAYS VERSUS SHIPPERS: Canada’s largest railway said it was moving grain at a record setting pace this year, despite complaints from grain shippers.

Canadian National Railway also said it had consistently met or exceeded weekly grain movement targets set by the federal government. However, the Ag Transport Coalition, a group of Canadian grain shippers, said Canada’s major railways are failing to deliver 10 percent of the grain cars requested by shippers.

QUALITY IN QUESTION: An international marketer of Canadian wheat warned that Canada is jeopardizing its reputation as a source of high quality, consistent crop. Erwan Boubet, chief executive officer of Geneva, Switzerland-based grain company IFACO, said customers were experiencing quality problems and may start looking for other sources. Some said it was evidence that Canada had botched its transition to a post-CWB monopoly system. They said the country hadn’t just removed a guarantor of quality and consistency but also changed Canadian Grain Commission grading in a way that made it inconsistent.

APRIL: PED RETURNS: Canada had about 100 cases of porcine epidemic diarrhea infection in hog operations, but the three western-most provinces remained free of the disease.

The virus, which is almost always fatal to young piglets, had left traces on trailers in Saskatchewan and Alberta, but no hog operations had been infected, pork officials said April 2.

BENEFITTING FROM LAND OWNERSHIP: A judge ruled in favour of Saskatchewan’s Farm Land Security Board in a case that could have redefined how land is sold in the province. Skyline Agriculture wanted to lend Saskatchewan farmers the money to buy farmland and then provide a land value hedge against the risk of changing land values. Skyline would assume a portion of the land value risk, but the land would continue to be 100 percent owned by the farmer. The security board said the decision showed that even if you are not the land owner on paper, you can still be in violation of the act if you receive the benefits of farmland ownership.

NEW OWNERS FOR CWB: Global Grain Group, also known as G3, became the new owners of CWB.

G3 PURCHASED CWB FOR

$250 million SHIPPING MANDATE: Ottawa’s decision to end weekly grain shipping targets received negative reviews from farmers and agricultural shippers. Ottawa introduced mandatory volume requirements for grain in March 2014, at a time when the flow of prairie grain had slowed to a crawl and millions of tonnes were backed up at country elevators across the West.

In a joint statement, federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz and federal transport minister Lisa Raitt said overall grain movements had improved. Projected grain carryouts entering the 2015-16 crop year should be “within the average range historically,” the ministers said.

The purchase included eastern Bunge assets and money to pay down CWB’s debt.

The remaining 49.9 percent, which represented the $249 million total asset value of CWB, was rolled into a farmers’ trust to be given to farmers as they delivered grain to CWB. G3 is a joint venture of global grain giant Bunge and the Saudi Arabian overseas investment fund Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. Bunge would own the majority stake in the new Canadian-based firm.

HOG BARN BAN: A Manitoba hog barn moratorium showed signs of breaking up, but no one expected a flood of new barns right away.

Farmers still must comply with expensive manure treatment regulations and apply manure only at extremely low rates. These restrictions would make expansion in many areas difficult or impossible. However, the industry was celebrating the loosening of the hog barn ban as the beginning of a “rebalancing” in provincial production.

MAY: TRADE RULING: U.S. country-of-origin labelling regulations took another shot when the World Trade Organization ruled for the fifth time that the law violates international trade obligations by discriminating against imports of live cattle and hogs in the U.S. marketplace.

CONTRACT SIGNED: Southern Alberta sugar beet farmers rushed to plant their crops after a four-year agreement with Lantic (Rogers) Sugar was finalized. Tense contract negotiations culminated in a formal contract that was expected to result in 22,000 acres of beets planted if time and weather allowed.

NDP TAKES ALBERTA: Results of the May 5 election in Alberta shocked the country as the Progressive Conservative’s 44-year reign came to end. Alberta’s New Democrats, led by Rachel Notley, won 53 seats, the Wildrose 21, PC 10, Liberals 1 and the Alberta Party 1. The PC party started the election with 70 seats, while Wildrose, under new leader Brian Jean, increased from three following a mass defection of 11 members to the PCs before Christmas. Premier Jim Prentice resigned as PC leader and as MLA for his riding.

FROM WET TO DRY: After several wet, rainy springs, the spring of 2015 was extremely dry in many places. Saskatchewan and Alberta issued widespread fire bans, including in agricultural areas.

JUNE: WEATHER WOES: Frost hit a wide swath of Manitoba May 30. As of June 1, many canola fields in the region around Minnedosa had turned brown.

MONEY SOURCING: Skyline Agriculture Financial began an appeal of a court ruling that prevented it from offering a different type of financing model for growers interested in acquiring Saskatchewan farmland. In 2014, Saskatchewan’s Farm Land Security Board ruled that a 15-acre parcel of land financed by Skyline violated the province’s land ownership laws. Saskatchewan’s Court of Queen’s Bench in a March 26 judgment upheld that ruling.

We have decided to appeal because our view is that we’re on side with the text of the legislation but more importantly we’re on side with the intent of the legislation.

MARK REINEKING SKYLINE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

RESEEDING: Manitoba farmers would likely reseed more than 900,000 acres of canola this spring, but previous reseeding events showed that solid yields were still possible.

PROTEIN WANTED: A global shortage of high protein wheat would likely persist in 2015-16 because of harvest rain in the U.S. hard red winter wheat region, said Justin Gilpin, chief executive officer of the Kansas Wheat Commission.

Gilpin said precipitation initially helped the Kansas wheat crop, but it had reached the point where it was causing more harm than good to a crop that was about two weeks away from harvest.

THIRSTY CROPS: After half a decade of abundant moisture, the taps turned off. Farmers in Saskatchewan and Alberta were forced to deal with possible drought. Livestock producers were especially left scrambling to find feed to substitute for sparse pastures.

OUTLOOK

Market factors farmers should know Analysts offer their insights and reveal wild cards that could push grain and oilseed prices up or down

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG NEWSROOM

Grain markets are juggling a lot of balls this year.

A variety of factors hang suspended with major implications whichever way they fall in the coming year.

Few would spark an outright bull market, considering a preponderance of bearish factors.

However, if those bears can be dodged, farmers might get to take advantage of rallies to salve the wounds of a weak overall crop market.

Exchange rates top the list of potential market movers.

“It’s as much Canadian dollar related as anything,” analyst Jim Beusekom of Market Place Commodities said.

“It’ll significantly affect the price should (the dollar) go up or down any amount.”

Beusekom’s view was shared by several analysts, who have seen Canadian farmers benefit from the drastic decline in the Canadian dollar since the end of the commodity bull market.

Analysts identified several factors as wild cards that will play out in the coming months: • currency exchange rates • global demand for U.S. corn • South American soybean production • El Nino/La Nina • China and the developing world’s economic strength • crop yield gains • soil moisture and growing conditions in the western Prairies this spring Currency factors play a significant role in the profits farmers see from selling their crops. Prices in Canadian dollar terms for many crops have seemed to stay stable, or even rise, as the loonie slumped, while U.S. corn, soybean and wheat prices grind lower.

The effect of exchange rates is even greater in countries such as Brazil and Russia, where the currencies have slid further than in Canada.

Weak currencies strengthen crop returns, encouraging aggressive seeding next season.

Exchange rates will likely be the main market mover in crops but surplus grain stocks may limit the opportunity for rallies. | Meanwhile, U.S. farmers are seeing poor returns, and some are losing money, which will not encourage aggressive spending at seeding time. However, farmers are not expected to cut seeded acres. They will hope strong yields lead to profitability.

Weak world demand for corn has been a great millstone around the neck of the grain markets and left the United States sitting on a mountain of the crop. Weakening U.S. exports sap any optimism for a cereal grain rally.

“A l l o f t h e s e c t o r s (o f c o r n demand) are a little bearish now,” said Rich Nelson, analyst at Allendale Inc. “The biggest issue we see (influencing the 2016 market) is corn demand.”

Oversupply worries also hang over the oilseed market. Brazil’s soybean crop has suffered a number of weather challenges this season, but it could still produce a record large crop that will weigh

down oilseed prices.

To prevent a build up of South American soybean stocks, China will have to buy a lot, and Chinese demand is another factor that has crop market analysts anxious.

The country drove the world commodity boom for years by buying ever-larger amounts of almost every commodity, until it stopped doing so and even began to buy less of some commodities after 2012.

Booming commodity production in the rest of the world was built upon an expectation of steadily increasing Chinese demand.

“I’m watching ongoing failure (of demand growth) in China,” Errol Anderson of the Pro Market Wire said Jan. 4 as red numbers appeared on his market screens while the world’s stock markets recoiled from poor Chinese economic statistics.

“They consume half of global commodity trade.”

He said the near record low prices

for world ocean freight are a symptom of flagging Chinese demand, and analysts warn that any change in China’s situation will have a major impact on markets.

As always, weather events can significantly affect crop markets.

The large stockpiles of many crops mean major production problems would be needed to have a big impact on prices because it will take a lot to scare buyers into believing they will run short of crop this year.

The biggest impact of bumper crops would likely be to lock in prices similar to today’s for a long time.

El Nino has had a significant effect on Southern Hemisphere crops this year, so that is still a factor to watch.

Some analysts have predicted a reappearance of La Nina later this year, which could throw additional wild cards into the game, analysts say.

Analysts will also be looking to

see if there is any change in the long-running trend of increasing corn yields.

Ever-increasing yields were good for farmers in years when demand grew even faster. However, new yield gains could further suppress price potential in a stagnant demand market.

The cheeriest part of the market outlook has been the small crops grown in Western Canada, which generally have better outlooks than the big market crops.

Barley, flax, pulse and other special crops have seen good prices recently, offering Canadian farmers relief while the world is drowning in other crops.

Most analysts say cur renc y exchange rates will probably be the biggest single factor affecting Canadian crop returns this year, regardless of the crop, and that’s a factor that is difficult to predict. ed.white@producer.com

OILSEED PRICES

Canola-soy spread related to oil content China is still hungry for high oil canola, but heavy December deliveries limited futures in December

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Some canola growers are wondering why the crop is trading at a discount to soybeans in North America when the two oilseeds are on par in the biggest export market.

Canola was at price parity with soybeans in China at the end of December after about a year-anda-half of trading at a 10 to 15 percent discount.

Meanwhile, in North America, the January canola futures contract shortly before Christmas was the equivalent of US$7.84 per bushel, while the January soybean contract was $8.92 per bu.

Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, said the Chinese market has been more focused on oil than meal lately, which has propped up canola prices because the crop has more than twice the oil content of soybeans.

“In China, one of the suggestions has been that a large part of the rapeseed oil stocks that they’re sitting on are close to their best before date,” he said.

Penner believes that is what is driving the unexpectedly strong Chinese demand for Canadian canola.

Chinese importers paid an average of $433.19 per tonne for Canadian canola in November com-

Analysts expect to see a premium for canola due to tight supply. | pared to $396.66 for U.S. soybeans.

There is a glut of meal and feed ingredients in China, including a massive stockpile of locally produced corn.

“The USDA has it at about 115 (million tonnes) but I’ve seen estimates as high as 175 million tonnes,” said Penner.

It’s why China’s imports of U.S. corn and distillers grain have been falling in recent months.

“I think they’re flush with the feed ingredients,” he said.

Penner said it is the opposite situation in North America, which is still a meal driven market with nearby soybean futures higher than canola futures.

Lawrence Yakielashek, general manager of FarmLink Marketing Solutions, has another explanation. He said Canadian farmers have been extraordinarily eager to sell their canola in the first half of the 2015-16 marketing campaign.

“There’s a real big push right now.

There’s a lot of guys that are open-

ing up canola bins in the last month,” he said.

“You’ve got a lot of pressure on the nearby (futures) from guys who are wanting to move canola.”

Some canola is heating in bins because crop maturity was unusually uneven at harvest time because of late seeding and re-seeding.

“The headlands might have been greener than maybe the middle of the field, so you’ve definitely got some hot spots in the canola,” said Yakielashek.

Unseasonably warm winter temperatures have contributed to the heating issue, which is forcing farmers to rush product to market.

Growers delivered 6.8 million tonnes of canola through week 18 of the crop year compared to 6.2 million tonnes a year ago, Canadian Grain Commission figures show.

Sales have also been brisk, especially to China and the European Union.

“Talking to a lot of grain companies, they’re saying that 65 percent of the crop has already been sold,” said Yakielashek.

Crusher demand has also been good. He is expecting a record eight million tonnes of canola to be processed in Canada.

He believes production is well below Statistics Canada’s November estimate of 17.2 million tonnes.

He also believes canola supplies will start getting tight by mid-January, which is when prices should begin to rally to ration demand.

“I would anticipate that moving forward the margins are definitely going to reflect a premium for canola,” said Yakielashek.

He expects the market to really heat up in April-July.

“The back end of the crop year is going to be tight.” sean.pratt@producer.com

Many farmers have been looking at 2016-17 prices since harvest, but it’s only after Jan. 1 that the intense crop-versus-crop comparisons start being made, not only by individual farmers but also by farm management experts.

A particularly good outfit for calculating crop profitability is Manitoba Agriculture’s farm management crew, and I expect to begin hearing its crop-versus-crop comparison’s this week, beginning at St. Jean Farm Days Jan. 6-7 and continuing through Manitoba Ag Days Jan. 19-21.

Fo l l o w m e o n Tw i t t e r a t @ EdWhiteMarkets for coverage from those events, and watch our website at www.producer.com for updates.

Planning guides that provide crop by crop budgets help growers decide which crops to include in their rotations but the next job is to try to use marketing tools to reduce or eliminate price risk.

In years of strong markets it is pleasant to project profitability

based on new crop futures prices.

Fat profits are sitting there waiting to be locked in or gambled with.

That is not the situation now as markets are weak and profitability is thin for most crops. Hedging in 2016 is likely to be about protecting modest profits and break-evens rather than getting the most of a roaring bull market.

There are always chances for rallies, and farmers can set themselves up for those rallies.

The good news is that today’s farmers are far more prepared to use marketing tools than were past generations.

Farmers no longer need be devastated by an unexpected drop in crop prices. Most know how to hedge at least some of their exposure, even if it simply means they know how to call a broker or marketer to do some of their forward pricing and insuring.

I saw this in November when I was reporting for the final story of my series on the professionalization of farming and farm advising.

I visited Eldon Klippenstein’s farm outside Altona, Man. When I walked in his office door, he was chatting with a broker who was making 2016-17 corn crop hedges. Klippenstein, who knows his costs of production, could see profitable prices and wanted to protect them while leaving some upside potential, which he did with the advice of a marketing company and a broker with a different company.

He knew what result he wanted and understood the financial risk for his farm of having too much 2016-17 crop unpriced or unprotected. He also knew who to call to get that job done.

To me, that’s what prepares today’s farmers to better face down times than their parents and grandparents. They know what they need to do and know how to go

AG SUMMIT

Brazilian farm keen on hedging, diversification Starting with 80 acres a century ago, Grupo Scheffer now has a revenue of $170 million

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

CHICAGO, Ill. — The term megafarm takes on a whole new meaning in Brazil.

Guilherme Scheffer, financial risk management director with Grupo Scheffer, recently described the scope and scale of one of the biggest farming operations in the country.

The company planted 169,195 acres of soybeans in 2015-16, but that land is also used to grow second crops of corn and cotton, pushing the total production area to 276,640 acres.

Total revenue for the operation fell to $170 million in 2015, down from $180 million the previous year because of slumping soybean and cotton prices.

Scheffer’s grandmother started farming on 80 acres in the state of Parana in southern Brazil.

The farm wasn’t big enough to support her eight children, so the family moved to Mato Grosso, where land was one-tenth the price it was in Parana.

Scheffer’s father and his uncles rented 1,000 acres of land in southern Mato Grosso, and 10 years later moved the operation north to the municipal district of Sapezal in Mato Grosso and formed Grupo Scheffer.

Huge farms in Brazil’s Mato Grosso state have been carved out of forest like this one, or from tropical grasslands. | REUTERS/PAULO WHITAKER Eight of the company’s 11 farms are in Sapezal. The company owns 45 percent of the land and rents the remaining 55 percent.

“If I could, I would only rent, but you need some land to guarantee for the banks and you need some stability,” Scheffer told delegates

attending DTN’s Ag Summit 2015.

Grupo Scheffer likes to sign rental contracts of 15 to 30 years. It deals with 38 landlords. Some of those were farmers who were on the brink of bankruptcy.

Grupo Scheffer advanced them the rental money to save their

farms and in return received longer rental contracts.

Land in Mato Grosso rents for two percent per year of the purchase price. That works out to $60 per acre for good farmland, which is why cost of production is far lower than it is in competing export regions such as the United States.

The company’s cost of production for 2015-16, including land rental, is $6.60 per bushel for soybeans, $1.90 per bu. for corn and 45 cents per pound for cotton.

The company has an active hedging program.

“We have a written policy that I have to fulfill that 70 percent has to

be sold before harvesting,” said Scheffer.

For the 2015-16 season, the company is 100 percent sold on soybeans, 90 percent on corn and 66 percent on cotton.

Production is consistent because of ideal weather. The most extensive crop damage in the last 30 years was 10 percent below average yields. The company tries to always double or in some cases triple crop the land. That means growing lower-yielding, shorter season, 100 to 105 day soybeans as the first crop followed by either cotton or corn.

Grupo Scheffer can seed 12,350 acres of soybeans a day and harvest 6,500 acres a day.

All of the soybean fields harvested in January are planted to cotton and all the fields harvested in February go to corn. The soybean-cotton rotation is the most lucrative.

There is also a push to include grass in the mix. Crop farmers are getting into the cattle business in a big way because it is more efficient to transport meat than corn.

Grupo Scheffer had 9,000 head of cattle this year, which will expand to 20,000 head next year and continue to grow by 5,000 to 10,000 head per year.

Scheffer said the significant investment in Brazilian ports is starting to pay dividends.

The country’s northern ports will be handling an additional 54.7 million tonnes of grain over the next seven years and the southern ports an extra 83.9 million tonnes.

New ports in the north will reduce transportation costs by $121 per acre for a typical Mato Grosso farmer. sean.pratt@producer.com

WEATHER

Ukraine, Russian crops likely to survive cold snap KIEV, Ukraine (Reuters) — A cold snap that gripped Ukraine and European Russia as the new year dawned is unlikely to affect winter grain crops.

A blanket of snow in eastern Ukraine should provide protection against temperatures that fell as low as -23 C, analyst UkrAgroConsult said Jan. 4.

“Snow depth of more than 15 centimetres has developed in this (eastern) part of the country, and we believe winter crops were not damaged there,” UkrAgroConsult said in a report.

The consultancy said snow depth was only two cm in western Ukraine, but the air temperature was not as cold, falling to only -10 to -15 C, which was above the critical level for winter crops.

It said a gradual warming was expected in Ukraine this week.

UkrAgroConsult raised its forecast slightly last week for the winter wheat crop in 2016 to 17.8 million tonnes from 17.5 million because of a larger planting area. It warned that the 2016 crop would be much less than the 2015 harvest of 23.4

million tonnes because of a drought during autumn seeding.

Analysts said abnormally warm weather in Russia in recent weeks reduced the snow cover protecting w inter crops in areas east of Ukraine.

The country is expected to harvest a large grain crop of more than 100 million tonnes this year, barring weather challenges.

The snow cover is not good in northern parts of Rostov and Vologograd regions and in the central part of the Black Earth region.

T h e R o s t o v a n d Vo l g o g r a d regions had been expected to see temperatures of -10 C during the day and -13 C at night Jan 1.

However, the situation was far from critical because the cold was not expected to be enough to cause serious damage, said Igor Pavensky, deputy head of the rail infrastructure operator Rusagrotrans.

“Cases like this, when a cold spell comes after sustained warmth, have already happened in previous years and they did not cause significant winterkill (of grains),” he said.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT CATTLE PRICES RALLY Cattle futures jumped during the final week of 2015, supported by live cattle prices in the southern U.S. Plains.

Prices gained more than US$10 per hundredweight in cash markets as wintry weather and muddy feedlot conditions slowed movement of animals to slaughterhouses.

Market-ready, or cash, cattle in the U.S. Plains moved at $133-$135 per cwt., $11 to $13 stronger than the previous week, feedlot sources told Reuters.

Animal weights also were declining seasonally, which further limited supplies.

There were questions early this week whether the market could retain the gains.

A sharp drop in the stock markets

Jan. 4, led by a market meltdown in China, was expected to weigh on cattle futures. Also, beef demand tends to struggle through the end of January as consumers pay off yearend holiday debt.

Shoppers will continue to eye less-costly and plentiful pork and poultry into early spring.

HOG PRICES WELL SUPPORTED U.S. cash hog prices were expected to firm this week because packers normally increase slaughter rates following reduced kills during the holiday season.

U.S. packers are enjoying strong operating margins. Wintry weather in the Midwest likely slowed hog growth and created transportation problems.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs

delivered were US$38 per hundredweight Jan. 4, slightly down from $38.50-$39.00 Dec. 18.

U.S. hogs averaged $48.96 on a carcass basis Dec. 31, up slightly from $48.53 Dec 18.

The U.S. pork cutout was $68.83 per cwt. Dec. 31, down from $71.50 Dec 18. The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Dec. 31 was 1.664 million, up from 1.516 million the previous week.

Slaughter was 1.236 million last year at the same time.

BISON The Canadian Bison Association said Dec. 18 that Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range sold at prices up to C$5.50 per pound hot hanging weight.

U.S. buyers are offering US$4.25

with returns dependent on exchange rates, quality and export costs.

Grade A heifers sold up to C$5.35.

U.S. buyers are offering US$4.10.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

SHEEP Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 693 sheep and 101 goats sold Dec 21.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $235-$260 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $225-$250, 70-85 lb. were $205-$232, 86-105 lb. were $167$200 and 106 lb. and heavier were $143-$166.

Wool rams were $66-$110 per cwt. Cull ewes were $66-$124.

Hair lambs lighter than 54 lb.

were $200-$230 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $210-$235, 70-85 lb. were $190-$224, 86-105 lb. were $156$179 and 106 lb. and heavier were $142-$162.

Hair rams were $80-$117.50 per cwt. Cull ewes were $66-$110.

Feeder kids lighter than 60 lb. were $195-$225. Good kid goats lighter than 70 lb. were $210-$250.

Those heavier than 70 lb. were $210-$245 per cwt. Nannies were $142.50-$169 per cwt. Billies were $117.50-$192.50.

Ontario Stockyards Inc. reported that 840 sheep and lambs and 168 goats traded Dec. 29.

Lambs traded actively at preChristmas prices. Good sheep sold $5-$10 cwt higher.

Good light goats sold steady, with heavier type kid goats selling slightly lower.

CROP SUPPLY

Wild weather fails to alter bearish crop supply outlook MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

he year began on several sour notes.

• A report showed China’s economy appears to be contracting, sparking a seven percent stock market plunge that spread to other markets around the world.

• Tensions rose between Shiite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia, raising the possibility of even more conflict in the already violence prone region.

This made investors nervous and crop and livestock markets could not avoid the negativity.

However, I expect the impact will be temporary.

Lasting change in crop markets will depend on whether supply surpluses can be reduced, and that depends mostly on the weather. I see nothing yet that would lead to sharply reduced production.

After watching the coverage of rain and flooding in the U.S. Midwest over the holidays, I naturally wondered about the longer-term implications for spring seeding in the United States.

Large parts of the Midwest had 300 percent of normal rainfall in December. One hundred to 150 millimetres of moisture were common, and in southern areas 250 mm or more were recorded.

The weather caused flooding and shipping problems on the Mississippi River.

If fields are saturated come spring, then seeding would be delayed and that would support grain prices.

However, the longer-term forecasts don’t suggest that the excessively wet weather will continue.

The January forecast from the U.S. Weather Service’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows a trend toward dry conditions around the Great Lakes.

There is an equal chance for dry, normal or wet weather in most of the Midwest.

Excessive rain in late December caused flooding in the Midwest, including Union, Missouri, but a warm winter with normal precipitation could dry out fields in time for seeding. | REUTERS/KATE MUNSCH PHOTO Only in the deep south is there above normal chance for wet weather.

It is a similar picture in the January to March forecast.

As for temperatures, the three month forecast is for warmer than normal weather through much of the Midwest, which means there is a good chance fields could dry out in time for seeding.

The long-term implication of the December rain might be favourable because soil moisture reserves could be good.

Weather is also closely watched in South America.

In early December, concern increased about dry weather in Brazil’s Mato Grosso state, a key producer of soybeans. The state’s agricultural institute warned that nearly half the soy crop was in bad or terrible condition.

However, the region has since received rain, and more moisture is in the forecast, so the overall Brazilian crop might yet reach earlier forecasts for a record 100 million

tonnes or more.

Argentina should also have strong crops of soybeans and corn this year.

As well, the new government has eliminated export taxes on wheat and corn and reduced them on soybeans, which will lead to a greater incentive for Argentine farmers to push crops onto the export market.

Continuing our review of current moisture situations, it is clear that

much of the Canadian Prairies and northern U.S. Plains have little snow. Manitoba is the exception.

El Nino still dominates the weather picture, and the dry, warmer than normal winter is expected to continue across the Prairies. This could lead to early seeding here but also the worry that newly seeded crops could suffer from lack of moisture.

There is lots of talk about the

potential for a rapid shift from El Nino to La Nina conditions, but even if true, that won’t happen for months.

So for the foreseeable future leading up to seeding time, I expect surplus crop supplies will continue to be the dominating market issue. darce.mcmillan@producer.com Follow D’Arce McMillan on Twitter @darcemcmillan.

GM crops provide billions in benefits

One more time country

BY STUART SMYTH

W

ere it not for the snow on the ground, I would have t h o u g h t i t w a s Ap r i l Fool’s Day instead of Christmas when I read The Western Producer’s Dec. 3 story, Anti-GMO group says yield gains non-existent.

Lucy Sharratt, Taarini Chopra and the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network are once again misleading Canadians about genetically modified crops, something they have been doing for nearly 20 years.

Environmental groups such as CBAN have been unable or unwilling to accept that GM crops provide economic and environmental benefits for farmers.

CBAN continues to spread myths and inaccuracies about GM crops.

For example, a fact sheet on CBAN’s website still perpetuates the myth that GM cotton adoption by small landholder farmers in India increased the rate of suicide among these farmers, when this was scientifically refuted in 2011.

Four years later, CBAN is still misleading the Canadian public. Factual accuracy means nothing to CBAN and the environmental movement.

CBAN’s most recent foray into fictional publishing, Are GM Crops Better for Farmers?, dismissed the yield increases from GM canola and advocated that farmers have not financially benefited from GM canola.

Let’s examine this a bit closer.

CBAN reports that canola yields have increased by 2.4 percent over the past 20 years, yet regards this as insignificant when compared to the .7 percent increase in the previous 20 year period.

The organization’s basic lack of agricultural knowledge is glaring.

For example, the Food and Agriculture Organization published a report in 2010 called How to Feed the World in 2050, which concluded that crop yields for the three staples crops of corn, rice and wheat were averaging less than two percent growth per year.

Crop yield increases of at least two percent a year are required just to feed the planet’s current population.

Additional research from the University of California, Davis, shows that commodity yields in North America are continually declining.

The researchers examined the rates of growth of global average

yields for selected crops and found that wheat yields in the developed world actually decreased between 1990 and 2006.

Had CBAN gathered some basic knowledge, it would have found that an annual canola yield increase of 2.4 percent is significant, especially when compared to a non-GM crops such as wheat with .19 percent annual yield increases.

Reminiscent of the Dr. Seuss stories I was read as a child, CBAN suggests that GM crops don’t put more money into farmers’ pockets.

I led a group of researchers that sur veyed farmers in Western Canada in 2007 about their experiences after growing GM canola for 10 years. We found that the economic benefits of GM canola were $350 to $400 million per year, cumulatively creating benefits worth $3.5 billion over the past nine years.

The biggest surprise from our survey was the identification and

quantification of second year spillover benefits. Farmers found that in some years, weed control in a field following GM canola was so superior that they didn’t need to spray it for weeds in the following crop year.

Farmers said the value of this spill-over benefit was worth an average $15 per acre, and nearly 20 percent of them felt the benefit was greater than $25 per acre. Additional benefits included reduced dockage, earlier seeding dates and reduced fuel use.

The depth of evidence and knowledge that is available about the economic and environmental benefits of GM crops means that any organization that says GM crops don’t provide economic benefits to farmers are intentionally trying to mislead the Canadian public.

The Canadian agriculture industry should be immensely proud of the economic and environmental benefits that have been generated from GM crops over their 20 year history.

I know it is winter outside, but please don’t let CBAN pull the wool over your eyes about the economic benefits of GM crops.

ELIMINATING BIASES

Gender equality benefits ag groups, communities HURSH ON AG

“

ello. I’m calling about that air drill you have advertised.”

That’s my approach when I call about farm equipment for sale, whether the voice answering the phone is male or female. I don’t just assume the seller is going to be a guy, even though that’s almost always the case.

Gender equality has come a long way in our society, and agriculture is no different.

However, there are still differences in the occupations and businesses that women and men tend to pursue, and this may always be the case.

Women were a small but growing percentage of undergrads when I was studying agriculture in univer-

sity in the late 1970s, but they have now become the majority. As a result, the agriculture professionals providing advice to producers are increasingly female, while in most cases the people receiving the advice are predominately male.

Yes, more women than ever are assuming management roles within farm operations, but a producer information meeting to discuss a new herbicide is likely to draw a lot more men than women.

Women in agriculture are celebrated through specific conferences, blogs and Twitter campaigns. Those are great initiatives to break down remaining gender bias, but we should also realize that men and women do not always share the same aspirations and interests.

Many sociologists say it’s because we raise little girls differently than little boys. We give them different toys and we instil different expectations.

That is no doubt true, but women and men are not the same, and even if raised in a completely gender neutral manner, it’s likely they would still aspire to different roles in society.

Most registered nurses are women, although it’s more common to deal with a male nurse than it used to be.

Most firefighters are men, but more women are breaking into this once male-dominated occupation.

Women are leading many important agricultural organizations. In the circles I travel, I interact with Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, former senator JoAnne Buth, who now leads the Canadian International Grain Institute, and Chantelle Donahue, vice-president of corporate affairs for Cargill in Canada. All are amazing individuals.

Many farm organizations could benefit from more female involvement. So could all levels of government. The biggest gender gap within government seems to be rural municipalities, where it tends to remain an old-boys club.

We need to make sure that outdated gender attitudes aren’t a barrier.

When asked why he appointed women to half of his federal cabinet positions, prime minister Justin Trudeau responded by saying, “because it’s 2015.” That’s glib, but

not really as progressive as it sounds.

Real progress would be half or more female cabinet ministers based on ability and suitability rather than an arbitrary quota.

It’s frightening to even comment on issues of gender equality because over-the-top sensitivity and political correctness abound.

However, Canadian society has become a great deal more inclusive on both gender and sexual orientation. In fact, it helps define us as Canadians.

Will all occupations and business management positions, including farms, someday be half men and half women? Unlikely.

Different aspirations and interests will probably mean different m a l e - f e m a l e ra t i o s i n m a n y aspects of society.

Should men and women have the opportunity to pursue whatever occupation or business they choose without discrimination? Absolutely. That’s the true test of gender equality within a society.

EDITORIAL NOTEBOOK

MICHAEL RAINE MANAGING EDITOR

M

ost producers can always imagine themselves facing something difficult in the next season, whether it’s been a tough or a good year for prices.

I think that is largely because of the risky nature of the business.

Those who are permanently optimistic might tend to overinvest in capital when times are good. They tend to need a bigger portion of luck in their financial formulas.

Farmers who are constantly pessimistic about the future tend to avoid investments, even when times are good. They fail to realize the importance of business growth when the markets will support it.

Luck doesn’t help them as much when it comes along.

However, how does a producer decide where to position the farm when it comes to balancing investment and expansion with asset protection?

For example, analysts are speculating that current prices are either at the bottom and going up, at the bottom and flat or in a position where new lows are yet to be set. A few are suggesting that there will be two quarters of significant growth before the year ends.

Farmers come in many configurations, but the closer one is to leaving the business, the less likely they will personally invest in capital, unless it is part of a family transition plan. One needs only look at the slow renewal of the cattle cycle for evidence.

Farm operator demographics show that there is a growing number in this camp.

However, one could imply from the now slightly stale data from Statistics Canada’s last agricultural census that many producers are still in the one-more-time-club when it comes to large five to 10 year investments.

Their decisions are influenced by feelings about where the markets are headed. If it’s up, then it makes sense to invest, If it’s down, one might want to preserve cash and capital, which would make this next-year-country, one more time.

However, too many next-yearcountry seasons in a row will tke a large number of growers that much closer to the exit and reduced investment.

On the upside, no matter what the market is like, experienced growers invest in inputs, and a good crop makes everyone optimistic next year. michael.raine@producer.com

In September 2007, Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall unequivocally stated that “crowns are not going to be privatized and (subsidiaries) are not going to be wound down.”

Yet here we are some eight years later, with Wall proposing the sale/giveaway of yet another Saskatchewan money maker, namely the Saskatchewan government liquor stores, while we, the taxpayer will be saddled with the problems that liquor abuse seems to be responsible for.

Wall has sold off dozens of jobs previously done by the crowns and their subsidiaries. For example, SaskTel alone contracted out or sold seven of its services.

SaskEnergy is forced to sell three of its subsidiaries to comply with Wall’s “Saskatchewan first.”

Never mind SaskPower’s carbon capture fiasco, SaskPower as well was forced to divest itself of assets that did not conform to Wall’s Saskatchewan first policy.

Under Wall’s tutelage, Saskatchewan Landing, Cypress Hills and Greenwater Lake provincial parks were sold/pr ivatized. Cabin rental, as well as services such as clearing and maintaining hiking trails, firewood supplies, went to private sectors.

The Saskatchewan first policy was a thinly disguised policy adopted by Wall, whose purpose was to prevent government owned companies from competing against the private sector.

Under a premier who stated that crowns and their subsidiaries would not be privatized, Saskatchewan has sourced out more jobs than one can imagine.

Hospital laundry services went to Alberta, Saskferco went to Norway, power to Northland Power, Ontario, and on and on.

Now Wall wants to privatize more than Saskatchewan government liquor stores.

Every one of these stores employs several people who shop local, enrol their children in local schools, pay taxes to the community and partake in local churches, organizations and sports.

These will be gone.

The local grocery store will no doubt apply for the privilege of supplying local customers with their liquor supplies. This in itself will create many problems. Now, where should we display our stash of booze — next to the soft drink display? No it is a beverage.

How about the juice department?

And how will one monitor the under-age drinking — the clerk who is operating the till?

And what of the convenience store that is open 24-7? Just who will monitor the sale of liquor at all hours of the day?

f you are planning an initiative that will be in the public eye, social media should be included in your strategy.

Not long ago, a carefully crafted news release, op-ed or publicity event could get an intended message out to the public with a man-

ageable blowback potential.

Today, people who craft brand images and messages have a more difficult time figuring out where the chips will fall when they place their message on the social media alter.

I call it a social media alter because these platforms have incredible power to make or break a company or group, yet harnessing their power can be a frustrating task.

Just ask Alberta premier Rachel Notley, who failed to clearly describe Bill 6, which allowed social media users to infer and share what they thought was in the bill.

While the Alberta NDP did make an effort to be more forthcoming on

Bill 6 before they passed it, the negative social media attention likely will have a lasting impact on how some Albertans see the party.

Something buzzing in social media Jan. 4 stemmed from actions by a group of heavily armed men calling themselves the “the point of the spear,� who stormed and captured a remote wildlife refuge near to the town of Burns, Oregon.

When the news broke, much of the mainstream media stuck to the “armed protestors� narrative on how they were standing up to the federal government over land rights.

Social media, however, was not as kind.

Soon after the group stormed the wildlife refuge, Twitter began burst-

13

ing with users relentlessly mocking the group.

The hash tags #Heehawed, #Yall Qadea and #VanillaISIS started trending, comparing the group to terrorist groups al-Qaeda and ISIS. Here an example of one of the mocking tweets, by Belvin Klopoknik @Klopoknik: “Oregon militiamen are willing to be martyred for their cause.

And if they die, they will receive 72 cousins in the afterlife. #Yall Qaeda.�

It is likely the group will have difficulty getting their cause taken seriously after taking such a social media beat down. robin.booker@producer.com

To the Editor: Although spending much of our young lives in Alberta, we have lived on a small farm in Saskatchewan for almost 40 years. At the moment, our grandson is working on a ranch in Alberta.

During our time here, we have been loyal subscribers to The Western Producer. For the first time, we are considering whether or not to renew our subscription.

It has to do with your coverage of Bill 6 in Alberta, especially the Dec. 10, 2015, issue. Let us say at the outset that the coverage by your reporters has been balanced, fair, and very informative.

They have done a good job. Your own editorial in the issue, although a bit muddled and wrongheaded, at least dealt with the issue in a respectful way.

However, the same cannot be said of your cartoonist.

This cartoon in the Dec. 10 issue was not only disrespectful, but potentially dangerous. We had the opportunity to know and work with the premier’s father, Grant Notley, in Alberta in the 1970s. He grew up on a farm near Olds, Alta. Rachel Notley grew up in the Peace River region near Fairview.

This is a family with a good understanding of rural Alberta.

Rachel Notley is not some kind of urban socialist fanatic. More importantly, having her “hoisted on a rail� and “run out of Alberta� in the cartoon is beyond the pale.

If it was intended to be funny, it was not.

In our opinion, it was too close to comments on Facebook like “someone should man up and shoot her,� and “someone should stick a pitchfork in her neck,� which have rightly been condemned. It had no place in a paper like yours.

STRAPPING THE STRAW

LAND BIOSECURITY

Farmer wants mandatory biosecurity; groups plan wider discussion

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

BLOOM, Man. — Most farmers know every low spot and bluff of trees on their farm and Pam Pugh is no different.

However, she also knows who has been on her farmland and what they were doing there.

Driving along a snow-covered gravel road west of Portage la Prairie, Man., in late November, Pugh pointed to wooden lathes sticking out of the soil on both sides of the road.

She knew which lathe had been there for many months and could

identify ones that were hammered into the soil in October and November.

All of the lathes were labelled BPIII, which is short for Bipole III, a controversial hydro electric transmission project.

Manitoba Hydro, the provincial utility, is planning to build a high voltage transmission line from northern Manitoba to Winnipeg.

A section of the line cuts across prime agricultural land in southern Manitoba, including three sections on the Pugh farm, which is a 2,700 acre pedigreed seed operation.

Pugh can recall numerous times that Manitoba Hydro employees

and contractors have come on her land without permission or failed to clean their equipment before entering a field.

After confrontations with Manitoba Hydro representatives and provincial officials, Pugh said she is tired of trespassers and people ignoring biosecurity protocols for farmland.

Her solution to the problem is more global than local. She wants a mandatory biosecurity protocol that would apply to all farmland in Canada.

“We know that utility companies and pipeline companies don’t (always) clean their equipment before entering land,” Pugh said as a north wind whipped snow across the gravel road.

“I want to make it (so) they have to clean their equipment before they go on anybody’s land in Canada….

That goes for agricultural dealerships and you name it.”

In 2013, the federal government introduced a voluntary biosecurity standard for grain and oilseed production. It advises producers to communicate with utilities, pipeline companies and contractors to ensure workers clean equipment before entering a farm.

Pugh said the voluntary approach often fails because workers don’t adhere to the rules.

For example, verticillium wilt, a fungal disease common in northern Europe, was discovered in a canola field in southern Manitoba in 2014.

In September, clubroot galls were found on a farm near Swan River, Man., devastating canola yields in a 15 acre patch of a field.

Pugh has raised the idea of mandatory biosecurity at several producer association meetings, and in December, the Manitoba Seed Growers Association passed a resolution on mandatory biosecurity that asked association leaders to investigate the issue.

President Eric McLean said the association will follow up on the resolution, but it’s probably too large an issue for a small farm organization.

He said it would likely hand it over to Keystone Agricultural Producers.

“We will bring this issue up at the K AP (annual) meeting,” said McLean.

“There will be a similar resolution (at the KAP meeting), to which we can tie our support to.”

McLean said Manitoba farmers are talking about diseases such as clubroot, which can move from farm to farm in contaminated soil attached to machinery.

He said Pugh’s proposal sounds like a good idea, but he worries about the potential consequences of mandatory biosecurity.

“You have to be careful what you ask for…. (With) mandatory biosecurity, that means the farmer himself has to … uphold the protocols,” he said.

“That means you have to wash your seeding equipment in between fields…. Is it logistically possible or feasible, with such a tight window to farm in this country, to clean equipment up (every time) you leave and enter fields?” robert.arnason@producer.com

OAT GROWERS MEETING

Gluten-free oats requires vigilance at every stage Oat growers and processors need a meticulous management system to guarantee less than 20 parts per million of gluten REGINA BUREAU

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — The glutenfree oat market is an opportunity for growers who can keep their crop clean from start to finish.

Shelley Case, a Regina dietitian and expert on celiac disease and its required gluten-free diet, told the Prairie Oat Growers Association annual meeting that it doesn’t take much contamination from wheat, barley, rye or triticale to push gluten levels too high.

Canadian regulations adopted in May define gluten-free as a food containing no more than 20 parts per million of gluten.

“So, in 100 grams of food, you cannot have more than two milligrams,” Case said.

“That’s your absolute cutoff.”

Just three barley kernels would contaminate a one kilogram container of oats that contained up to 35,000 seeds, she said.

Case emphasized that is a maximum that can’t be exceeded anywhere along the chain.

Studies in Europe and North America have found contamination at various levels, even in products that would naturally be gluten-free.

A Canadian study from 2013 found that three of 268 packages of products labeled gluten-free contained more than 20 parts per million.

The same study found that 30 of 298 products with no gluten-free statement were above the threshold.

As well, 29 of 74 products that had precautionary warnings such as “may contain” did contain more than 20 p.p.m.

CATTLE COMPETITION

Cattle handling stockmanship focus of contest

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

A team from Dri Land Feeders of Warner, Alta., was the winner of the sixth annual Feedlot Challenge held at Shelter Valley Land and Cattle near Lethbridge this fall.

Second place winners were from Wiseman Feeders of Lethbridge.

The competition, sponsored by Zoetis, tests teams of feedlot workers in cattle handling and stockmanship, with emphasis on methods that keep cattle calm.

Removing cattle from pens and administering medications were part of the test.

This year’s event drew 10 teams of four people per team from Alberta, Ontario and Quebec.

The feedlot challenge began in 2010 to support feedlot workers and recognize their value to business operations and animal welfare.

Video shot during the competition is used to provide insight, education, tips and tricks for all team participants. barb.glen@producer.com

Case said some of these results would explain why people become ill after eating products that should be safe, including oats. Some people have claimed they have become ill even after eating oats that were certified gluten-free.

It’s hard to know if the problem was contamination or something else, such as the fibre content of oats.

A small group of people are intolerant to oats that are guaranteed to be safe, and the reason isn’t yet clear. Gluten-containing grain routinely contaminates regular oats, and consumers have to know which are appropriate for

them, she added.

The demand for certified glutenfree oats is strong. Case said oats offers nutrients that typical glutenfree bases such as rice flour and other starches don’t have, such as betaglucan, iron, protein, vitamin B and higher fibre.

However, even eating products that contain the maximum of 20 p.p.m. can be a gamble, she added.

For example, someone who ate 500 grams of different gluten-free products a day that each had exactly 20 p.p.m., or two milligrams, would be eating 10 mg per day.

Sensitivity studies have found

people start having problems at 10 mg per day and damage to the small intestine at 50 mg per day after only three months.

Case said that’s important for oat growers and processors to recognize as they market their products.

They want to be well below the 20 p.p.m maximum.

“Gluten-free oats is a complete management system,” she said.

“You start clean, you stay clean.”

Seed purity, crop rotation, dedicated or thoroughly cleaned equipment and testing are critical parts of such a system. Crop rotation with pulses, flax and canola isn’t an issue because those crops are natu-

rally gluten-free.

Crops destined for the glutenfree market should be tested with the Ridascreen R-7001 Gliadin ELISA test. Some tests pick out wheat but not barley.

Tests should also be done on representative samples and shouldn’t be composited.

For example, samples with less than 20 p.p.m. shouldn’t be mixed with those much higher with the intent of blending to lower the overall content.

“This is a food safety issue,” Case said. karen.briere@producer.com

South Korea lifts ban on Canadian beef

Flour-sifting machine earns farmer top prize

The industry welcomes resumption of beef and veal exports, expected to be 400,000 tonnes this year

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

South Korea lifted its ban on Canadian beef Dec. 30, which it imposed when Canada reported a case of BSE in a cow tested last February.

An investigation of the BSE case, which was Canada’s 19th, indicated it was likely due to old contaminated feed and was considered an isolated incident.

Federal agriculture minister Lawrence MacAulay and international trade minister Chrystia Freeland announced the reopening of the South Korean beef market Dec. 31 in Ottawa.

MacAulay said he welcomed the

decision, and Freeland noted the news came on the one-year anniversary of the Canada-Korea free trade agreement.

South Korea was Canada’s sixthlargest market for beef in 2014.

Exports at that time were worth $26 million.

Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Dave Solverson said resumption of beef and veal trade with South Korea is important, in part because that country accepts cuts and offal that are less popular in North America.

“Korea is a market that will pay more for those select items, and that helps to increase the overall value of the animal for producers,”

he said in a news release.

The Canadian Meat Council also welcomed the lifting of the ban.

“When meat exports increase, sales opportunities for farmers rise, job opportunities for workers expand and Canadians benefit from greater economic growth,” said council president Joe Reda in a separate news release.

Jim Laws, executive director of the meat council, said South Korea is projected to import more than 400,000 tonnes of beef and veal this year.

“Successful completion of the technical discussions permits this country’s packers and processors to not only renew but also to further

intensify our relationships with Korean importers and consumers,” he said in a statement.

“It also allows our exporters to take full advantage of the CanadaKorea Free Trade Agreement that will begin its second full year of implementation on Jan. 1, 2016.”

Canada was the fourth largest exporter of beef to South Korea in 2014, behind Australia, the United States and New Zealand.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency released the findings of its investigation on the 19th BSE case Nov. 30, nine months after the animal was found to be infected. barb.glen@producer.com

Design is easy to set up and costs hundreds less than conventional style

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — An Ontario farmer’s flour sifter has won a competition that was looking for right-sized and cost-effective technology.

Ahren Hughes’s invention was selected by people attending the recent Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario conference.

Hughes, who runs Blackshire Gardens near Neustadt, won the top prize of $1,000.

“This sifter saved us a lot of money and is an invaluable part of our grain processing system,” said Hughes’ neighbours, Jeff Boesch and Leslie Moscovits, who nominated him for the competition.

“A flour sifter bought brand new or even used costs a minimum of $2,500 and requires an involved setup.”

Hughes’ sifter is used to process flour from rye, spelt, wheat, cornmeal and grits. Its capacity is rated at 80 pounds per hour.

Hughes based his design on a century-old seed cleaner that he acquired for free. Parts to make the necessary modifications, including stainless steel, wood, Plexiglas, screens and hardware, cost $570.

Ken Laing, who farms near St. Thomas, Ont., entered two horsedrawn innovations: • His no-till drill was put together with $4,300 in parts, including used double-disc openers, an old seed box, a welded frame and a battery-powered hydraulic pump to lift the implement.

• His strip-till units are attached to a horse-drawn tool carrier m a n u f a c t u re d by P i o n e e r Equipment Inc. Ojibway farmer Aric Augonie at Tweed, Ont., grew tired of grinding his Tuscarora white corn with a hand crank machine, so he came up with leg power as an alternative by modifying a lightly used exercise bike that he found. The total cost was $15.

For less than $300, Martin Smith of Viridis Hollow Farm near Hamilton redirected sump-pump water into a small pond lined with bentonite clay.

He uses it as a source of irrigation water for his orchard and to grow watercress. The pond has also attracted frogs, fish and other wildlife. The fountain used for aeration doubles as a water feature.

The Carrot Cache Foundation, which sponsored the competition, is funded through business profits generated by the Big Carrot, a worker-owned, food retail co-operative in Toronto.

It makes small grants to “practical projects in Ontario that are beyond the idea stage.”

PEST MANAGEMENT

Bees deliver crop protection product to plants An Ontario company figures out how bumblebees can be used to deliver a naturally occurring fungus to a variety of crops

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A Mississauga, Ont., company has developed a unique method for defeating crop pests.

BVT, which specializes in bee vectoring technology, has developed a system that uses bumblebees to deliver microbial agents to crops.

The company uses a naturally occurring fungus, branded BVTCR7, which can protect crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, apples, canola and sunflowers from fungal pathogens such as sclerotinia and botryis.

A bumblebee that is leaving the hive passes through a plastic tray containing BVT-CR7 in a powder form. The material sticks to the bumblebee’s legs, and the pollinator delivers the beneficial fungus to the flowering crop.

“When deposited on plants, BVTCR 7 acts as bio stimulant,” BVT notes on its website.

“Natural processes within the plant are activated to ward off invading pathogens. This mode of action results in a plant that is stronger and produces higher yields…. BVT-CR7 does not kill anything but out-competes spatially the disease.”

BVT uses bumblebees because

they are a more proficient than honeybees when it comes to delivering a microbial agent.

“Bumblebees will visit up to 10 flowers per minute,” the BV T website says.

“Bumblebees fly in relatively lower temperatures than honeybees (and) carry 10 times as much pollen or inoculant.”

Chief executive officer Michael Collinson described BVT as a biological control.

“Certainly not a fungicide, as that means killing fungi and we are one (a fungus).”

A company spokesperson said BVT has field tested the technolo-

gy, and a commercial release is underway.

BVT opened a commercial lab and production plant in Mississauga in October to develop microbial agents that are “deliverable” with bees.

For now, it is targeting growers of strawberries, apples, tomatoes and almonds.

Collinson said the bee vectoring system increases yield by 10 to 45 percent, depending on the crop.

The cost is not cheap because BVT provides the microbial agent and the bumblebee hives. A BVT document estimated the cost for sunflowers at $70 an acre.

BVT said the system saves the cost and time of applying pesticides, results in better uptake of nutrients and is environmentally sustainable.

Greenhouse tests and field trials have found bee vectoring to be just as effective as chemical spraying, said Les Shipp, an integrated pest management specialist with Agriculture Canada in Harrow, Ont. However, it has limitations.

“Weather can have a major impact outdoors (i.e. too hot or wet),” he told International Innovation, a science and technology website.

“The bees may not fly; the inocu-

lums can become caked and not remain powdery. Bee vectoring is not a silver bullet and, as such, should be used as part of a more holistic pest management program.”

Shipp said delivering a microbial to control fungal pathogens is just the beginning because bee vectoring could be used for many crop pests.

“We have demonstrated that two fungal biocontrol agents can be combined in the same inoculum for both pest control and disease suppression. There is no reason why other combinations of microbial agents cannot be used.” robert.arnason@producer.com

The amount of grain that has moved from prairie farms to export terminals so far this year is wellabove average, according to figures from Canada’s federal Grain Monitoring Program.

The data show total grain car unloads at port of 14.2 million tonnes so far in the 2015-16 shipping season, including nearly 3.9 million tonnes at Thunder Bay, 2.3 million tonnes at Prince Rupert and 7.9 million tonnes at Vancouver.

The total unload figures cover the first 19 weeks of the current shipping season, from Aug. 1, 2015 to Dec. 22.

At 14.2 million tonnes, total grain car unloads are 15 percent higher than the five-year average, but one percent lower than the same period in 2014-15, the report said.

Total west coast unloads — combining Prince Rupert and Vancouver — are 10.2 million, about 20 percent higher than the five-year average and six percent higher than last year.

Stocks at country elevators have also been running well above average during the past few months.

Capacity in the country elevator system as of Dec. 22 was 83 percent full. Space at elevators was listed as fair by the monitoring program.

Unlike the 2013-14 season, grain shippers and railway operators this year are enjoying a mild winter, with limited competition for rail capacity from other sectors. brian.cross@producer.com

CROP INSURANCE

Red Spring class again dominates insured wheat acres

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Western Canadian grain farmers insured more than 17.7 million acres of wheat last year, up slightly from 17.6 million in 2014.

About 11.4 million were Canada Western Red Spring varieties, 4.1 million were Canada Western Amber Durum, 800,000 were Canada Prairie Spring and 1.3 million were varieties from minor classes.

The numbers are contained in the 2015 Insured Acreage Report prepared by the Canadian Grain Commission.

“In wheat, what we have noticed is that red spring wheat acres continue to be about 65 percent of the total wheat acres insured,” said

Daryl Beswitherick of the grain commission.

“Durum went up this year from about 17 percent to about 23 percent of total wheat acres.… We’re not exactly sure why producers decided to grow more durum (in 2015), but price generally dictates what producers are going to grow.”

The commission has been publishing the acreage report since 2013. It compiles data from provincial crop insurance programs in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia.

Beswitherick said the report fills an information void that was created when the Canadian Wheat Board stopped publishing its annual variety survey in 2012.

Both the brewers and the malting companies are the ones that ultimately decide what’s in demand and what they want to buy.

PETER WATTS CANADIAN MALTING BARLEY TECHNICAL CENTRE

“It lists all the varieties that are grown within the different crops types,” he said.

“The CGC felt that this was something that was still needed by the industry, so we took on the responsibility of putting together the annual

(report) with the help of provincial crop insurance programs.”

As usual, Canada’s two primary wheat classes accounted for the lion’s share of last year’s insured wheat. Together, CWRS and CWAD accounted for nearly 15.6 million insured wheat acres.

Harvest was the most widely insured red spring variety, accounting for nearly 1.1 million acres, or 10 percent of all CWRS acres insured last year.

It is one of 24 CWRS varieties that will move to the new Canada Northern Hard Red Spring milling wheat class Aug. 1, 2018.

Unity, which accounted for three percent.

It remains to be seen whether varieties designated to the new milling wheat class will command a lower price than premium CWRS varieties.

Cultivars in the CNHRS class will have lower gluten strength than varieties in the CWRS class.

“Producers have a couple of years to start to transition (away from Harvest, Lillian and Unity) if they wish to,” said Beswitherick.

“Harvest, Lillian and Unity may still be a viable option (for some growers).… If they grow well in certain regions and the price dictates that they’re still a viable option, then producers may still want to grow them.”

It normally takes a few years for a new variety to gain interest among producers, even among varieties that offer significant advantages in terms of agronomy, disease resistance and yield potential.

Beswitherick said the life cycle of a popular wheat variety is usually five to seven years.

Malting barley varieties are even slower to gain favour among growers, largely because maltsters and brewers determine a variety’s marketability based on end-use performance.

Peter Watts, managing director of the Canadian Malting Barley Technical Centre, said new varieties with improved quality characteristics, better yield potential and enhanced disease packages are available in Canada.

However, older established varieties such as Copeland and Metcalfe will continue to command large acres in Western Canada until demand for the new varieties improves among maltsters and brewers.

“Both the brewers and the malting companies are the ones that ultimately decide what’s in demand and what they want to buy,” Watts said.

“From the producer’s perspective, if a variety moves, then producers will continue growing that variety because of the movement, but not always for the yield or the disease package.”

BUDGET VACATION

Low dollar doesn’t have to mean staying home this winter TALES FROM THE ROAD

ARLENE & ROBIN KARPAN

anadians planning a winter vacation are likely learning that the fastest thing heading south is the Canadian dollar.

However, it is possible to travel well internationally without breaking the bank by taking time to research the options.

We’ve been through this before when, 15 years ago, the loonie was even lower. The big difference now is that there are so many more online resources to draw upon to find the best deals.

Ours is not the only plunging currency. The Mexican peso has also been hammered by low oil prices, so the loonie doesn’t look too bad there.

Other countries dependent on resource exports have had recent currency devaluations, such as Austra Chile and South Africa. tralia, In some parts of the world, the Canadian dollar is still doing reasonably well. While the loonie has fallen against the euro, the decrease is a lot less than against the U.S. dollar.

Even in countries that have their own currency, some tourist ser vices might be priced in U.S. dollars. Fortunately this doesn’t happen everywhere.

Take the example of African wildlife safaris. Trips in East Africa are almost always priced in U.S. dollars.

In S outh Afr ica, anything booked locally is usually priced in South African rand, which has decreased in value even more than

the Canadian dollar in recent years.

Places in the U.S. that rely on Canadian visitors, such as parts of Florida, are well aware of the low loonie and are starting to respond with special discounts for Canadians.

Search for these on state tourism websites.

Many parts of the world are simply less costly, regardless of the currency. In parts of Southeast Asia, comfortable small hotels and guesthouses for less than $50 are common and you can often get a decent meal for little more than $5.

On our recent trip to Bolivia, the most we paid for a hotel room (a fairly nice one) was US$43, including breakfast. If you’re wondering where the deals are, visit the Price of Travel website, which compares costs of travelling in various countries and ranks the ones where your money goes the farthest.

The best way to save on airfare is to be flexible on dates. It’s surprising how much fares vary, even from one day to the next.

Flexibility is key when looking for last minute deals on hotels and flights We usually start with a search on Matrix ITA software because it displays fares for every day over a month, and for different lengths of trips.

Operated by Google, ITA is strictly for searching fares so you can’t make bookings there. Once you find the best deal, go to the airline, a booking site or take the information to a travel agent.

Depending on where you’re headed, it might be cheaper to fly into a major hub where there are more competing airlines and lower fares, then take a regional flight to your destination.

This is especially the case in Europe and Asia, which have low-cost local airlines.

When planning our trip to Cambodia and Laos last winter, it was significantly cheaper to fly into nearby Bangkok, Thailand (a major hub for Southeast Asia), then take regional flights from there.

If you can travel on short notice, watch for last minute deals from charter operators, both

for airfare and air/hotel packages. Look up which charter flights operate from your airport, then monitor their websites for last minute deals.

If you’re flexible as to where to go, have a look at Kayak Explore. Enter the name of your airport and it will display the lowest fares (including taxes) to various parts of the world.

Sometimes there are pleasant surprises.

An effective way to control travel costs is to go local, focusing on small hotels, guest houses and local tour operators.

Besides potential cost savings, there’s more opportunity to meet local people, which is one reason we travel in the first place.

Whether you’re staying in a small guesthouse in Asia or a B and B in your own province, your money goes directly to those providing the service rather than to an international hotel chain.

This approach takes more planning because you have to sort the good from the bad.

Researching guidebooks helps, but for more current information, go to online discussion forums on travel, the big one being Trip Advisor, which has forums on practically every country in the world where ordinary travellers ask and answer questions.

Another forum we use is Thorn Tree, operated by Lonely Planet guidebooks.

Accommodation and tour operators are common topics, and if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you can post a question.

When you find a hotel that looks promising, search for reviews.

Since anyone can post reviews, take them with a grain of salt. Some people are chronic complainers, while an overly glowing review might be coming from the hotel owner’s buddy. But if comments from different people are generally positive or negative, there’s probably something to it. It’s getting harder for anyone in the travel industry to get away with shoddy service without it showing up on Trip Advisor.

Since we’ve been making more use of travel forums, they have helped us save money and we’ve been happier with our choices for accommodation and other services.

ORTHODOX NEW YEAR

Enjoy old-time favourites from around the world TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

C

anada’s winter festive season is as diverse as its people. From Diwali to Hanukkah to Chr istmas, Or thodox Christmas and Chinese New Year, there is no lack of reason to put on a feast during these wintry days.

Many recipes are handed down from generation to generation and it is often a challenge for the modern home cook to follow some of the original family recipes.

Take perogy dough as an example. My Ukrainian friend, Linda, and I set out to translate her baba’s recipe for perogy dough. The recipe was written as a juice glass of this and a medium bowl of that without measurements in cups or litres. We went through my kitchen to find bowls and glasses of the size Linda hoped she remembered.

And as she did that, I measured.

PEROGY DOUGH Unbleached flour is important in this recipe and any recipe that requires elasticity in the dough. Without it, the dough will break when stretched.

9 c.

3 c.

all purpose flour 2.25 L unbleached 750 mL bread flour about 4 c. warm water 1L Mix and knead and divide into two or three balls and let rest for five minutes. Dust rolling pin and counter top with flour and roll dough out to 1/8 – 1/4 inch (4-6 mm) thick. Cut into circles about two inch (5 cm) diameter. Roll each again a little more to make an oval.

Put a tablespoon (15 mL) of filling into each. Use a little water on the edge before closing and pinch together to seal. Continue until all dough is made into perogies.

Boil perogies in a large pot of generously salted water, until they float, about eight minutes.

Serve with sauteed diced onions, butter and sour cream.

BLUEBERRY OR SASKATOON PEROGIES Mix one cup (250 mL) of sugar with three tablespoons (45 mL) flour. Place five to seven berries and one tablespoon (15 mL) sugar mixture in each perogy. Close and pinch the seam together.

POTATO AND CHEESE FILLING FOR PEROGIES 4 – 6 medium potatoes 1/2 c. grated medium 125 mL cheddar cheese 2 1/2 tbsp. butter 37 mL 1 small chopped onion 3 1/2 T. processed cheese 47 mL spread salt to taste milk to thin, if necessary pinch of pepper Boil potatoes and drain. Mash

with the rest of the ingredients until it reaches a pureed texture. Put one tablespoon (15 mL) in each perogy.

TACO PEROGY CASSEROLE Thick dough perogies work best in this recipe. Thin dough perogies may break apart.

35 oz. pkg. bacon flavoured 1 kg perogies 1 lb. lean ground beef 500 g 1 onion, finely diced 1 green or red pepper, chopped 2 tbsp. taco seasoning (recipe follows) 30 mL 1/2 c. beef stock 125 mL 1/2 c. sour cream 125 mL 2 – 3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped 1 c. cheddar cheese, 250 mL grated 2 green onions, cut on the bias Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook perogies until warmed through. Drain and set aside.

While perogies are cooking, brown ground beef in a large pan that has been lightly oiled.

After meat begins to brown, add onions and peppers and cook until the beef is completely cooked. Stir in taco seasoning.

Add beef stock and cook until slightly thickened, about five minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and tomatoes.

Assemble by lightly oiling a nine x nine inch (22 cm x 22 cm) baking dish. Put half of the perogies on the bottom and top with half of the beef mixture.

Top with half of the grated cheese.

Repeat with another layer of perogies, ground beef and grated cheese.

Broil until cheese melts. Garnish with green onions and serve.

TACO SEASONING A well stocked spice cabinet does not require any seasoning mixes.

1/2 tsp.

1 tsp.

1 tbsp.

chili powder 30 mL garlic powder 2 mL onion powder 2 mL cayenne 1 mL oregano 2 mL paprika 5 mL ground cumin 15 mL sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste 2 tbsp. flour 30 mL

Mix thoroughly and store in a container with a tight fitting lid.

CLASSIC APPLE STRUDEL This is a classic Serbian Orthodox New Year sweet. The dying art of stretching dough is not impossible to learn but patience is key. Stretch the dough, rest it, then stretch again. The dough is thin enough when you can read a newspaper through it.

3 c. unbleached bread 750 mL flour 1 egg 1/4 c. soft, unsalted butter 60 mL 1/2 tsp. salt 2 mL 1 c. cold water 250 mL vegetable oil flour 3/4 c. coarse white bread 175 mL crumbs 1/2 c. unsalted butter, 125 mL melted 1 1/2 lbs. peeled, cored 375 mL and thinly sliced Granny Smith, Pippin or other cooking apples 1/3 c. granulated sugar 75 mL 3/4 c. dark raisins 175 mL 3/4 c. coarsely crushed 175 mL nuts 2 tsp. ground cinnamon 10 mL 1/2 c. firm, unsalted 125 mL butter Make dough by adding flour, egg, soft butter and salt to the bowl of electric stand mixer. Mixing with dough hook on low speed, add enough cold water to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, about five minutes. Form dough into a ball and coat it with oil. Cover and let rest at

Make the filling by combining sliced apples, sugar, raisins, nuts, ground cinnamon and half of the bread crumbs. Cut the firm butter into chunks and gently toss together with the apple mixture.

To assemble, cover a work surface approximately four feet by four feet (1.2 m x 1.2 m) with a clean piece of cloth. The cloth is used to facilitate rolling the dough.

Dust cloth lightly with flour and place rested dough in the centre.

Using a rolling pin, roll dough into a large, thin rectangle. When dough is as thin as it will go with the rolling pin, it is time to begin stretching and pulling.

Place your hands under the dough and using thumbs and the back of your hand, gently begin pulling and stretching until it is a rectangle approximately 3 1/2 feet by 2 1/2 feet (1m x 1m).

Be careful not to tear dough. After it

is pulled to the proper size, let it relax on the table for a few minutes. Place apple mixture along the long edge of the dough closest to you, then form the filling into a thick log. Brush some of the reserved melted butter over the remainder of the dough. Sprinkle remaining bread crumbs over the dough.

Using the cloth to help lift dough, roll strudel like a jelly roll, starting from the filling side. Place the strudel, seam side down, in a horseshoe shape on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter.

Bake in a preheated 375 F (190 C) oven for about 35 minutes. Just before serving, dust with icing sugar and slice strudel into individual servings.

Serve either warm or at room temperature.

ZAMBIAN WOMEN

Book tells stories from Zambia Volunteer writes about working with women

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Marianne Stamm will always be a mzungu, the Swahili word for white person or foreigner.

After 10 trips to Zambia, where she and her husband, Robert, worked on agricultural projects designed to help Zambians learn more productive farming methods, she wrote a book about her experiences as a mzungu but also as a friend and teacher.

Laughter in the Shadows: Stories of Courage from 11 Zambian Women, was published this fall.

Stamm may be familiar to some Western Producer readers. She is a former freelance writer who also wrote a blog on the newspaper’s website. She and Robert farmed near Westlock, Alta., and still own property there that is rented to other farmers.

For the moment, Schleithein, Switzerland, is home, where the Stamms have taken over Robert’s parents’ farm and near where their two sons and grandchildren now live.

They first visited Zambia as agricultural volunteers through a church mission but later got involved in other projects.

The book tells the stories of Zambian women and the challenges they face due to the patriarchal culture, limited knowledge of agriculture and the scourge of HIV. “The main emphasis for us was always on consulting and teaching and linking up with information,” Stamm said in a Dec. 8 interview.

“It was rewarding. We’ve given a lot but I got so much back.”

Her book, divided into a chapter for each woman profiled, recounts their working lives and explains Stamm’s own challenges in understanding the culture and working within it.

She tells the stories of Jacinta, a small-scale farmer whose recent production improvements are the envy of others. Loveness, another woman featured in the book, is straddling Zambian culture and the ways of the Western world, often to the dismay of her husband.

Christine, who is also profiled, took the agricultural knowledge she gained and taught it to others.

Then there are the tales of Eva, Margaret, Naomie, Clara, Vivienne, Lwiche, Eliness and Juliet.

Each has a compelling story, which Stamm describes while giving her own impressions and experiences with Zambian travel, culture and family relationships.

Stamm said the book took four years to write. She began in 2011 with a grant from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. That grant provided her with a deadline and once finished the writing, she decided to self-publish 150 copies in Switzerland and 200 in Canada. All of them are now gone through marketing efforts mostly confined to public readings but a second printing is planned.

Stamm varies the readings with the audience, but she admits particular enjoyment when reading the chapter on Vivienne, who

became and remains a friend.

“I’m a very bad judge of my own writing. I don’t know which story is the best. But she is someone I enjoyed writing about, although I enjoyed writing about them all.”

Stamm said she loves Zambia but life there, even in three-monthlong stints, was not always easy.

“I love Africa. I love it and I hate it at the same time. There’s so much about it that’s so frustrating,” she said.

“Sometimes I would just like to be black. I would just like to change my colour and disappear. My being there gave them different expectations than if I hadn’t been, because they would think there was money in the room. My skin is always money.”

She and Robert were able to share information on tillage, planting methods, fertilizer and other aspects of farming, but getting that information to a wider audience is difficult in Zambia, she said.

Government bureaucracy is often a hurdle, as is the culture that gives fewer rights to women than to men.

Stamm is giving $5 from every book sale toward the education of one Zambian woman, and will help more women if future sales allow.

“I still believe that education is the thing. All our research shows that women who are educated have less children, take care of them better. Their children have more options.… I think that’s the biggest thing we can do for them.”

After working in Africa and then returning home, Stamm said she would often be asked if she and Robert had done any good or fostered positive change in Zambia.

“Then I ask them ‘what change did you make in those three months?’

Any real change takes a long time.”

In an excerpt from the book, Stamm discusses the challenge of living within a different culture and in the role of helper and teacher.

“Zambia can be a lonely place for me at times — in a culture not my own, among a people who are so different from me that I sometimes think I can never belong.

“In fact, I know that I can never belong, as they do. It is a bit of a shock, too, sometimes to realize that what I might want to bring to these people, they don’t even really want or, I might have to acknowledge, need.”

But far from introspective, the book provides many insights into Zambian culture and the successes achieved one step at a time.

Stamm said the farm project manager told her things are difficult for farmers this year. The planting season was supposed to begin in mid-November, but intermittent showers meant the corn had not yet germinated.

Last year was already a poor year and many people went hungry. In addition, the Zambian kwacha has depreciated and seed, fertilizer and imports are expensive.

ON THE FARM

Couple’s love of farming spills over to children Parents pay special attention to safety while inviting kids and grandkids to share in the farming lifestyle

BY KAREN MORRISON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

ROSTHERN, Sask. — Livestock lessons begin early on the Lehmanns’ Saskvalley Stock Farm.

“We teach them from a ver y young age to respect the animal,” said Karen Lehmann, whose children play a big role when the family is working cattle.

They are at school this day as her husband, Barry, and his brother, Murray, move feed into nearby fields for their cattle.

“Anytime we work cattle, they have to be there,” said Barry of his children’s love of farming.

Both agree it’s important to give them age appropriate tasks and teach them that tractors are not for joy rides.

“Grandpa said this is a workplace,” said Karen.

The workload once handled by Wesley and Marjorie Lehmann is now managed by the next generation of sons, their wives and their children.

The cow-calf and grain operation near Rosthern involves Barry and Karen, Murray and Cathy and Carl and Michelle.

Murray said they keep labour to a minimum, feeding every few days in winter and planting corn for the cattle to graze.

“You don’t have to make as many bales and it’s cost effective,” he said.

The family keeps 12 horses for riding, farm work and competition.

Cathy, a community pasture rider, has achieved strong results on the team roping circuit with Murray, who has also done fitting for cattle shows in the past.

All live in the farmyard except Wesley and Marjorie’s daughter, Heather, who works in Vancouver and owns one quarter of land, and Carl, who left full time farming to work as a realtor but continues to help where needed most.

Wesley was also a realtor until recently, one of his many off farm jobs over the years. “”I sold real estate to make a living and play at farming,” he said.

“I figured someone better get a job or we’d starve to death.”

Marjorie worked as a nurse and helped with farm work when needed. Her income often helped pay off debts.

All of her daughters-in-law also work off the farm.

The Lehmanns have 500 head of cattle, of which 150 are registered Shorthorns.

Carl said they maintain that number to ensure a good supply of purebred animals for their annual bull sale in April at Saskatoon Livestock Sales, which includes two other Saskatchewan cattle producers.

In addition, the Lehmanns background cattle year round.

Carl has always loved the cattle business.

“There’s a lot less risk than in grain farming, and I don’t have to invest as much money to grow a product or invest in equipment,” he said.

“I’m not a big fan of metal.”

Murray said their land is good, so

ON THE FARM

THE LEHMANN FAMILY Rosthern, Sask. it makes sense to grow grain and their own feed, including barley, corn, oats and greenfeed hay.

They sell their canola on contract through Bunge.

Wesley called 2015 a good year for the cyclical cattle business.

“If it was always like this, we’d be a lot richer than we are,” he said.

Carl said they rode out the bad years of the BSE crisis by carefully watching costs and keeping expenditures low.

“It was very difficult at times, but we hung in there. Wes was a good manager,” Marjorie said, citing the help they received with their young family from Wesley’s parents and hired household help.

“Whenever I went back to work, it was often to pay off things.”

She bought the couple’s first four Shorthorns with her own money.

Wesley’s grandfather, Karl, arrived from Germany to homestead, bought land in 1915 and then passed down a quarter section to Wesley’s father, Albert, in 1919.

Barry and Wesley agree that family support is important, and the multi-generation farm lifestyle allows children to grow up knowing their grandparents.

“I enjoy being outside and watching the mysteries and wonders of life,” Barry said. ”Really, we both had such a great childhood growing up on the farm, we wanted that for our children,” said Karen.

Marjorie’s recent Parkinson’s diagnosis and Barry’s multiple sclerosis present challenges.

Farming allows Barry to be his own boss and set his own pace and schedule.

“There are some things I physically can’t do,” said Barry, who also works from home in logistics for a trucking company.

Barry does most of the seeding, while Murray and Kathy oversee most of the spring calving.

Looking ahead, the family sees few changes on the horizon.

“We’ll just keep doing what we’re doing,” said Murray. karen.morrison@producer.com

ADJUSTING TO CHANGE

Access to specialists

Friends vital when moving to new community SPEAKING OF LIFE

HEALTH CLINIC

JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW CLARE ROWSON, MD

Q:

I understand that it is possible for a person to have direct access to a specialist in the United States? Why can’t this be done in this country? Do we really need the middle man or family doctor?

A:

It is true that most people, depending on their health insurance plans, are able to directly access a specialist in the U.S. It is not possible in Canada.

With direct access there could be many unnecessary visits to a specialist. You might ask to see an ear, nose and throat specialist when you have an earache that could be treated by the family doctor.

Another example would be going to a gynecologist for a routine examination and PAP test.

These trivial visits would soon clog up our system so people with serious illnesses would have longer waiting times.

One solution would be to have specialists or their nurses triage the referrals and send inappropriate requests back to the family doctor, but this would be time consuming.

The general practitioner is also useful for co-ordinating services, such as laboratory exams and other tests, so that there is no duplication.

He can also keep records of all medications and make sure there are no interactions between medications prescribed by other doctors.

Another option is the use of telehealth or telemedicine. This method has been used for a while in northern and remote communities where there is no easy access to doctors. Some clinics have a computerized setup where the patient and nurse or doctor are present in one location and the specialist is in another, allowing them to communicate and answer questions.

Sometimes this technology is also used for doctors who need to have a group consultation over a difficult diagnostic problem or for educational purposes.

If you are willing to drive some distance, ask your doctor for a list of specialists who may practice in another town or city who might be able to see you sooner.

If you are willing to pay and live close to the U.S border, you can take matters into your own hands and see a specialist there.

If your doctor does not know of any alternatives, a provincial College of Physicians and Surgeons website will allow you to do an online search for a specialist. You could suggest one of these names to your family doctor.

Once you have the appointment, phone the specialist office at intervals and ask if there is a cancellation.

Be prepared to go at short notice even if it is not a convenient time.

Be nice to the receptionist. You will catch more flies with honey

Q:

My husband and I are moving our family to a new community shortly after Christmas. We are not fussy about moving. All of us are enjoying it here and we have heard that the place we are moving to is not as friendly as this community. But our jobs depend on it and putting food on the table is important. What can we do about it?

A:

Part of what makes life on the Prairies so fascinating is that each and every one of our small communities has its own personality. Some of them are friendlier than are others, some are progressive and some are more isolated. .

Your first task is to try to understand the peculiar character of your new home. You do not have to play hockey if you would rather play the piano, but you do have to acknowledge it and if you are into a hockey town then at least support the local team.

While some communities may be friendlier than others, all communities have friendly people. You just have to find them.

Even the friendliest of communities is not likely to reach out to you if

you insist on hibernating in your living room.

Reach out and include your family in community events.

Every community has its own set of rules. Some rules might isolate or discriminate those with different ethnic or social orientations.

Prepared for criticism if you befriend someone in town who is otherwise isolated.

All of us like to be liked, but there is a catch phase to that as well. We prefer to be liked by those people who have taken the time to get to know us. And that is true for your new community.

When you first move into town, you may meet people through your casual contacts but they are not your friends. Friends are those who

you meet, with whom you spend time and with whom you share your more significant life experiences.

Building friendships takes time.

Don’t expect to find those close and intimate relationships when you first move into town. Let them develop as they will and appreciate them when they do.

I would like to caution you about whatever rumours you have heard about your new home. They may or may not be true.

It is best to figure that out for yourself rather than going in with preconceived biases. It is best to give your new neighbours a chance.

CANOLA IN 1991

Task force recommends keeping open market FROM THE ARCHIVES

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

75 YEARS AGO: JAN. 9, 1941 The University of Saskatchewan’s farm management department published a 62-page farm account book that was “by far the best farm account book which has yet to come to this writer’s attention.” The book was definitely needed, according to the article. “It has been almost impossible to get hold of a farm account book which provides necessary instructions and is thoroughly adapted for use on Canadian farms.” It was compiled

by E.C. Hope and Hadley VanVliet.

The Western Producer reported that A.B. Young of the Hel-O-Lynn Stock Farm of Unity, Sask., had purchased “an exceptionally well

bred young boar” from Hooker Bros., which were noted Yorkshire swine breeders from Ormiston, Que. “Mr. Young’s new herd header is Ranche Leader 262 U 219577, sired by Orchard Valley Sardis 41R 1900170 and out of Ranche Bess 234 S 200450.”

50 YEARS AGO: JAN. 6, 1966 C.S. Fisher, manager of Saskatchewan Wheat Pool’s flour mill and vegetable and vegetable oil plant in Saskatoon who was just back from a trip to Britain, reported that new mass production baking techniques in Britain and the United States could revolutionize the production of bread wheat on the Prairies in the next 10 years. The main change would be less reliance on high gluten strength that was obtained from the hard red spring wheat for which the Prairies was known.

Sasks Pool ran a job ad looking to hire someone to analyze seed for purity and germination and to perform some routine clerical work at its farm service centre in Moose Jaw. The ad was headlined: Seed Analyst (male or female).

25 YEARS AGO: JAN. 10, 1991 Prairie agriculture ministers and

Ivanhoe Y 47A, owned by Charles Harlton and Son of Belle Plaine, Sask., was the senior and grand champion boar at an unknown competition in 1950. | FILE PHOTO federal agriculture minister Don Mazankowski agreed on a cost sharing formula to fund a new farm safety net program. The proposed new program would be called the Gross Revenue Insurance Plan, or GRIP. A task force appointed by the federal government to review the canola industry was expected to recommend keeping the open market system for selling the crop.

Task force member Alex Graham, president of Prairie Pools Inc., said he felt like a “lone voice in the wilderness” because the option of central desk selling never had a chance, considering who had been

appointed to the committee.

“When you’ve got the chairman of the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange sitting at the table, he’s not very interested in talking about the potential of single desk selling,” Graham said. Prairie Pools had wanted canola marketing to be put under the Canadian Wheat Board or some other centralized marketing agency.

10 YEARS AGO: 2005 Prairie hog producers, still smarting from the recent announcement of a duty on U.S. corn imports, were relieved to hear that the duty wouldn’t be imposed on corn used

to feed hogs bound for export. “We are going to apply for a Manitobawide exemption on this duty because we export a larger percentage of pork than we import feed used,” said Karl Kynoch, chair of the Manitoba Pork Council.

Prime minister Paul Martin admitted on the campaign trail Dec. 20 that his Liberal government had been offering inadequate farm support programs.

“We’ll work on the design and we’ll have a new design in place in 2006,” he said. He never got the chance.

BEE POPULATION

Honeybee colonies show increase despite ‘bee apocalypse’ reports Journalists have done a poor job of getting their facts right, says official

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

The opening line of an article posted on CBC News’s website last May summarized a commonly held belief about honeybees: “The collapse of bee colonies nationwide (in Canada) is wellestablished and beyond dispute.”

A provocative lead, but not true.

Statistics Canada data shows that honeybee colony numbers have increased steadily from 637,920 colonies in 2011 to 667,397 in 2013 and 721,106 in 2015.

Yet many media outlets use words such as “endangered,” “at risk” and “near extinction” to characterize the plight of honeybees.

Jim Coneybeare, vice-president of the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association, said media rhetoric can be excessive.

“I don’t think ‘endangered’ is the right terminology,” he said. “(But) within Ontario I think it would be correct in saying that the situation puts a great stress on honeybees and the beekeepers.”

Coneybeare said bee colony health declined in Ontario after neonicotinoid seed treatments became standard practice for corn and soybean growers, but Ontario isn’t Canada.

“I think things need to be clarified,” said Coneybeare, who represents the OBA on the Canadian Honey Council.

“It’s important that people realize that the West hasn’t seen Ontario’s situation…. We’re a big country and there are huge differences between East and West.”

Honey council chair Kevin Nixon said journalists have been reluctant to report that Canada’s beekeeping industry is prospering.

“Over the last couple of years there have been times where we tried getting that message out … but it didn’t seem to get picked up,” said Nixon, a beekeeper from Innisfail, Alta.

“The general public isn’t made aware of these good news stories.

The industry is growing and is thriving.”

Honey council executive director Rod Scarlett was more direct in his criticism. He’s seen dozens of reports on Canada’s “bee apocalypse,” and the stories are irritating.

“Ultimately I think it’s the press’s responsibility to get the facts right…. In general, they have done an awful job of getting factual information,” he said.

“If they don’t do the work to follow up and make sure the articles they’re presenting are correct, we don’t have the time or manpower to go out and correct everybody’s article.”

The media coverage has convinced many Canadians that bees are in serious trouble. Most articles say neonicotinoids, an insecticide applied to canola, corn and soybean seed, are responsible for honeybee deaths and colony losses and are putting pollinators in jeopardy.

Nixon said the reports stoke conflict between beekeepers and crop producers, harming what should be a positive relationship.

It can be argued that the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association has provoked some of the friction between honey producers and farmers. It lobbied against neonicotinoids, and its efforts may have helped convince the Ontario government to impose neonic restrictions.

By 2017, corn and soybean growers will have to prove they need neonics to control pests. If not, they cannot use neonic seed treatments.

Coneybeare said the OBA’s position on neonics is a source of disagreement within the national honey council, but neonics are just

one of many issues facing the beekeeping sector.

“There are many, many things … that are common across the country,” he said. “It’s definitely important that we maintain a national membership…. Sometimes certain issues get painted with a broad paintbrush and that’s where we run into problems.”

2015

What do you think the most important story was in 2014? Tell us at www. producer.com or on our Facebook page.

YEAR IN REVIEW

JULY: CLUBROOT DETERMINED: Clubroot resistant lines of canola were faring less well than expected in some regions of Alberta. A data analysis based on a 2014 survey of clubroot resistant canola fields uncovered nine additional strains of the disease capable of overcoming the resistance.

ON THE AUCTION BLOCK: Producers started to sell more cattle than usual because of dry conditions.

They weren’t selling entire herds but were weeding out dry cows, a few bottom-end calf pairs, replacement heifers and yearlings in an effort to allow their grass to stretch until the rain arrived.

Scorching hot and dry conditions also posed a significant threat to prairie crops.

CWB PREDICTS WHEAT YIELDS DOWN

15 percent

CROP OUTLOOK: CWB increased its yield estimates for western wheat and canola crops after a prairie-wide tour, but said overall yields would be down significantly from 2014. It also predicted a 19 percent drop in canola yields from the previous year.

AUGUST: NEW WHEAT CLASSES: The Canadian Grain Commission said it would reclassify 25 varieties in the Canada Western Red Spring wheat class. The commission announced that 25 CWRS varieties, including Lillian, Unity, Harvest and Kane, would be reclassified Aug. 1, 2017.

GOODBYE CWB:The CWB is history. The former Canadian Wheat Board found a new majority owner, a new name and a new corporate logo. G3 Global Grain Group, which recently bought the CWB, completed its investment in the former wheat board and renamed the company G3 Canada.

FOR SALE: Legumex Walker, a major pulse processor, put its pulse and special crops processing plants on the market. Its plants are located on the Prairies, the U.S. Midwest and Pacific Northwest and China.

SEPTEMBER: AGRICULTURE IGNORED: A month into the federal election campaign heading toward the Oct. 19 vote and none of Canada’s main political parties had made any specific agricultural promises. Canadian Federation of Agriculture president Ron Bonnett said there was a tendency to ignore agriculture because its full impact isn’t easily seen.

DEVILISH WEED: A prohibited noxious weed, extremely poisonous to livestock and humans, was found in three Alberta canola fields. Devil’s trumpet, also known as jimsonweed, was found in canola fields in Westlock, Barrhead and Leduc counties while farmers were swathing canola. Hot dry weather across the Prairies created ideal conditions for the poisonous plant to thrive. It had been reported in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

LOOKING FOR MONEY: Glencore, the parent company of Viterra, said it was considering selling some Canadian grain handling assets to reduce debt and maintain its credit rating.

THE SALE OF ASSETS IN AGRICULTURE AND PRECIOUS METALS WAS EXPECTED TO RAISE

$ 2 billion

PED RULES RELAX: Western Canadian hog producers warned that the risk of porcine epidemic diarrhea entering from the United States was increased because of Canadian regulatory changes.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency served notice that it would cancel an emergency protocol in Manitoba that ensured stringent washing, disinfecting and drying of livestock transport trucks returning from the United States. The measure allowed trucks that were crossing into Canada from the U.S. to be specifically tagged and then taken directly to a wash station for thorough disinfection.

PRICING INFO: The Alberta Wheat Commission’s new online price portal was operational, giving producers more knowledge and insight into available grain prices. The PDQ (Price and Data Quotes) site was the product of farmer demands for greater transparency in western Canadian cash bids after the dreadful 2013-14 crop marketing year.

SOME READY, SOME NOT: The phrase “green is the colour” took on a new meaning in some parts of Saskatchewan this year. Normally used by Saskatchewan Roughrider football fans, the phrase was used to describe the uneven maturity in durum crops across much of the province’s southwest.

SLOW HARVEST: Persistently cool, wet weather during the last part of August and the first two weeks of September set back prairie harvest with about 40 percent of total western Canadian acreage yet to be harvested in the final week of September.

OCTOBER: TRADE DEAL: A proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement was reached, but each participating country had yet to pass enacting legislation.

Most Canadian dairy farmers were relieved that supply management principles were left in place, although 3.25 percent of Canadian production could come from foreign sources under the deal.

FEDERAL ELECTION: The Liberal party won Canada’s 42nd general election held Oct. 19, winning 184 seats. The Conservative party won 99 seats, the New Democratic Party won 44, the Bloc Quebecois won 10 seats and the Green party won one seat.

THE HARPER GOVERNMENT OFFERED A

$2.4 billion INCOME SUPPORT PROGRAM OVER 15 YEARS TO OFFSET LOSSES TO CANADIAN DAIRY FARMERS

With the Conservatives losing the federal election, it was not clear whether the Liberal government would support the deal. However, grain farmers, processors and exporters saw huge financial benefits in the deal.

CANCER CAUSING?: The livestock and meat industries reacted angrily to an international study that said hot dogs, bacon and other processed meat could cause cancer. A summary of the study conducted by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer said there is “sufficient evidence” to link consumption of processed meat with bowel cancer and classified it as Group 1, which is “carcinogenic to humans.”

It also classified red meat as “probably carcinogenic,” or Group 2A, placing it in the same cancer risk category as glyphosate.

The North American Meat Institute said defining red and processed meat as cancer hazards “defies both common sense and numerous studies showing no correlation between meat and cancer.”

WHO CAN BUY? Saskatchewan planned to introduce legislation to tighten up the province’s farmland ownership laws.

The results of an online survey found that most respondents, 62 percent of them farmers, opposed allowing investors such as Canadian pension funds to own land.

NOVEMBER: COMPANIES GO SHOPPING: It was only a matter of time before consolidation occurred among the big six agricultural chemical and life sciences companies in agriculture, said analysts and company executives. The consolidation furor started with Monsanto’s failed US$46.5 billion hostile takeover bid for Syngenta earlier in the year. It flared up again following quarterly financial result reports from Dow Chemical and DuPont, in which executives discussed the prospects of becoming buyers or sellers. DuPont is the world’s second largest seed company and sixth largest seller of crop protection products.

AGRICULTURE PORTFOLIO: Lawrence MacAulay was named federal agriculture minister.

MacAulay, 69, a long-serving MP from Prince Edward Island, was a seed potato grower and dairy farmer before entering politics in 1988.

FORECASTING FUTURE: The world might be on the cusp of more tempestuous weather, analysts said. They planned to watch the evolution of the El Nino-La Nina situation in coming months and compare it to past oscillations.

Analysts at the two-day conference in Winnipeg seemed to agree that the coming months could signal big weather impacts for global food production.

FARM SAFETY RULES: Sweeping changes to work and safety rules for Alberta’s farms and ranches generated concern and widespread calls for the provincial government to retract the proposed laws. Many farmers wanted more details about how the mandatory Workers Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety rules would apply to their farms.

DECEMBER:

COOL REPEALED: The United States repealed its country- of-origin labelling regulations, avoiding imminent countervailing tariffs planned by Canada and Mexico. Canadian beef and pork producers and processors cheered the ruling, but lamb and sheep labelling requirements remained.

BILL 6 PASSES: The Alberta government officially passed its controversial Bill 6, which introduced mandatory Workers Compensation and Occupational Health and Safety rules after first adding several amendments that would exempt family members from many of the rules. The bill sparked heated exchanges between farmers and politicians.

FARM SAFETY

Program teaches grain entrapment prevention, rescue Canola groups help fund a mobile demonstration unit to teach farmers, workers, and emergency responders about dangers and rescue techniques

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

A Canadian farm safety organization has teamed up with prairie canola groups to build and operate a mobile grain entrapment demonstration unit to prevent more people from dying in grain accidents.

“This grassroots support means that we have a solid start to this new and vital program,” said Marcel Hacault, executive director of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association.

The Manitoba Canola Growers Association, the Alberta Canola Producers Commission and Sask-

Canola have agreed to contribute $30,000 each over three years to fund one unit.

“Projects like the mobile grain entrapment demonstration unit are important to our organization and our industry,” said Jack Froese of the Manitoba association.

“They provide opportunities for agricultural workers, farmer and farm families across the Prairies to learn about the importance of grain safety and spread awareness of the dangers of grain entrapment.”

A Saskatchewan grandfather and grandson died in September while emptying a grain truck. In October, three sisters died in a truck loaded

with canola on their Alberta farm.

Hacault hopes the new unit will help prevent more tragedies.

Emergency responders in Nova

Scotia successfully rescued a person trapped in grain this year, two weeks after taking grain bin rescue training.

“We’ve seen that it works and saves lives,” said Hacault.

Heightened awareness of the tragedies in Alberta and Saskatchewan has focused industry on the need for more training.

The unit will be a small trailer with two grain bins and augers to allow grain to move from one bin to another to simulate grain movement, suffocation and engulfment.

“Each of these units would serve communities at fairs and trade shows, train first responders in

grain rescue techniques and be used by commercial grain farmers for training agricultural workers.”

Hacault believes the units could be used to increase the awareness of grain entrapment, confined spaces, the need for equipment guards and the hazards of dust.

“We want to start the conversation about safety,” he said.

Large grain farmers could also use the trailer to teach grain safety, he said.

The three-year project is expected to build three units and cost $600,000. mary.macarthur@producer.com

HOMAGE TO FARMERS

Landscape is canvas for artist/farmer Stan Herd hopes his next project, Young Woman of Brazil, will be ready for the 2016 Olympics

BY REBECA KUROPATWA FREELANCE WRITER

Stan Herd created this portrait of Kiowa Chief Satanta in 1981. He uses crops, grass, shrubs, flowers and rocks in his landscape creations. | STAN HERD PHOTO

It wasn’t exactly art work back then, but Stan Herd starting learning the basics of his craft when he was about 11 years old plowing fields on his parents farm near Protection, Kansas.

That was in the 1960s, and after years of more practice and attending art college, he returned to the land, but this time his work had a different focus.

“But I returned to the land (in 1983) to create representational works on the land as an homage to my parents and the people who worked the land,” he said.

Herd starts his land creations by subtracting parts from existing crops, such as alfalfa, rye, oats, sorghum, soybeans, wheat, corn, and prairie grass.

He also incorporates other elements, such as flowers, shrubs, vegetables, mulch, sand, rock and potted plants. He sometimes uses recycled materials.

Weather is a big factor in Herd’s art, second only to financing.

“Coming up with the right image, for the right reason, in the right time is part of the magic,” he said.

Herd created a 160 acre portrait of Kiowa Chief Satanta in 1981 and continued through 35 monumental earthworks over the next 40 years.

Herd’s book, Crop Art & Other Earthworks, is credited with inspiring Disney executive Don Franz to begin a global movement of corn maze designs in 1993.

Herd’s next project will be a new work of art, Young Woman of Brazil, near a favela (ghetto). Neighbourhood children, gardeners, other community members and college students from Brazil and Kansas will help design and create the work.

“We hope we have something in place by the Olympics this August,” he said.

TRADE DEAL

Special compensation gives dairy sector ‘bad image’

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadian dairy farmers will receive approximately $2.9 billion for domestic market losses associated with the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

A Manitoba farmer says the optics of the federal compensation package send the “wrong message” to consumers.

Steven Boerchers, a dairy farmer from Beausejour, Man., is worried the compensation looks like a government handout. He believes the government money should support Canada’s dairy industry rather than individual farmers.

“I’d rather send monies in different directions rather than taking (it) personally for our farm,” Boerchers said in an interview during the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba conference, held in Winnipeg in December.

“There are enough holes in the industry that could be plugged

with some money, to do some good things.”

Based on the text of the TPP, participant countries will gain duty free access to 3.25 percent of Canada’s dairy market. In early October, t h e f e d e r a l g ov e r n m e n t a n nounced a financial package to compensate dairy farmers for the loss.

STEVEN BOERCHERS MANITOBA DAIRY FARMER

“The compensation for the entire supply management system is $4.3 billion…. The bulk of it, $2.9 billion,

comes to dairy farmers,” said Wally Smith, Dairy Farmers of Canada president.

Under the deal, Canadian dairy farmers will receive direct compensation for 15 years.

Boerchers said farmers began contacting him shortly after the government announced the TPP compensation.

“I was getting phone calls and text messages from other farmers and people in the ag community (saying), ‘oh, I hear you guys get to live another 15 years and you get a cheque to boot.’ ” Boerchers was so concerned about the optics of the deal that he brought a resolution to the DFM meeting, asking Dairy Farmers of Canada to use the compensation to enhance dairy processing capacity and border controls in Canada.

“I think some people will view this as the government giving us free money. Really it’s not…. I want there to be a clear message that we

are self-sufficient.”

Smith said he’s heard concerns about the optics of the compensation package but not public comments.

“I’ve heard it privately. I’ve never seen it in the form of a resolution or brought forward at a public meeting,” Smith told reporters at the Winnipeg meeting.

He said the compensation is not a handout or a subsidy.

“It’s not a payment that’s going to top up a low milk price. It is a direct cost to government for the price they had to pay to expropriate some of (dairy farmers’) property so they could successfully conclude the TPP round.”

Smith said production quota has immense value for dairy farmers, and the federal government, with the TPP deal, “expropriated” a piece of that asset.

“We were successful in telling the government that if you’re going to expropriate one of our key and

most critical assets, there has to be a cost attached to that,” he said.

“I am very proud that … we have been able to extract a commitment that is going to mean no negative impact for at least 15 years on your farm, with respect to cash flow.”

Smith spoke with Boerchers at the Winnipeg meeting and said he admires Boerchers’ commitment and passion for dairy farming.

However, he said the young Manitoba farmer should focus his energy on issues that are more critical for Canada’s dairy industry.

Boerchers said the conversation did alter his perspective but didn’t change his mind.

“I see (his) side of it quite a bit more, (but) I still have my concerns,” he said. “It’s a bad image … for farmers to be cashing government cheques.”

About 20 producers supported the resolution, but it was defeated. robert.arnason@producer.com

Cranberries seen to boost immunity in chickens

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

DRESDEN, Ont. — Most people know cranberries go with Christmas dinner. Now, an Agriculture Canada researcher has found that the tart fruit boosts immunity when fed to young birds.

Mortality was decreased 50 percent when Moussa S. Diarra and his research team fed small amounts of cranberry extract to broiler chickens during their first 10 days of life.

“This idea came to me when I participated in my first Christmas dinner in Canada,” Diarra said.

“Now cranberries are one of my favourite fruits.”

The research is suppor ted through the Organic Science Cluster at Dalhousie University, but Diarra feels the findings may have applications beyond the organic industry. There’s growing concern

about the development of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial drugs used by poultry farmers.

Diarra feels the research also has potential benefits for cranberry growers and processors and poultry farmers.

The extract can be obtained from the pulp of pressed cranberries, which was previously viewed as waste.

He’s also looking at potential improvement to meat quality because the antioxidants in cranberries could increase storage time.

The birds appear to like cranberries in their diet, he said. Feed intake was not affected, and the birds that were fed the extract gained weight a little faster, although the difference was not statistically significant.

Diarra is now looking at potential benefits of other fruit extracts for the poultry industry.

Before Dan Orchard shifted his concentration to clubroot, he was an expert on canola fertility.

The Canola Council of Canada plant scientist now has expertise in both aspects of the crop, and he recently attended the Farming Smarter conference to talk about how to attain “colossal canola.”

It begins with seeding rates.

Orchard said growers need at least five plants per sq. foot to achieve full yield potential, but they should seed double that amount to compensate for the seeds that inevitably won’t survive.

“It’s not cheap … but that extra pound of seed I think can go a long ways,” he said at the Dec. 8 meeting.

He also encouraged growers to seek planting uniformity, which he deemed “nearly as important as seeding rate.” A uniform stand makes it easier to decide when to spray and swath.

Orchard said nitrogen recomm e n d at i o n s f o r c a n o l a hav e changed in recent years. Several hybrids are more efficient at nitrogen uptake, so two to three lb. per acre might be sufficient.

As yield goes up, so does nitrogen efficiency, he said.

For phosphorus, any soil test showing less than 20 parts per million is a red flag to add the nutrient. Unlike nitrogen, which is mobile in the soil, phosphorus stays within an inch of where it is placed.

“I’m not a big fan of putting fertilizer with the seed,” said Orchard, but phosphorus is the exception.

A test of less than 20 app. calls for placing 20 lb. of phosphorus with the seed, but tests that show 40 to 50 p.p.m. means there will be no benefit.

“From a selfish point of view as an agronomist, I don’t like to see fertilizer with the seed because it’s too hard to diagnose” any future problems, Orchard said.

Potassium is not usually an issue in prairie soil, but canola will mine that nutrient, so he advised watching soil tests to ensure it is sufficient.

As for sulfur, “it’s huge for canola,” he said. Typical signs of deficiency include cupped purple leaves and small, pale flowers, as well as lack of pods.

Orchard said the recommendation for swath timing has also

changed in recent years. The new one is to wait until 60 percent colour change, up from 30 percent.

Varieties resistant to shatter allow the delay, which should increase yield.

As for clubroot, Orchard reminded growers that it’s an issue with soil rather than just with canola.

Clubroot exists in more than 2,000 Alberta fields. Low reports from Saskatchewan are because of lack of testing, he said. In Manitoba, more extensive testing of soil rather than canola plants is revealing low-level presence in many areas.

Orchard predicted that more new strains of clubroot will be discovered in coming years, which will limit the effectiveness of planting canola varieties resistant to only certain strains.

He said boron looks promising as a potential management tool, which means canola varieties with a high tolerance for boron could be one answer.

“I think this is a huge opportunity for the seed industry to start breeding boron tolerance into our canola.” barb.glen@producer.com

Farmers may feel new climate change focus Producers and researchers argue that the agricultural industry has already taken steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

BY ASHLEY ROBINSON SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Farmers might soon have to deal with a worldwide political push to take more action on climate change.

The recent climate change summit in Paris, and a new Liberal government in Ottawa that has vowed to make it a priority, has brought added urgency to an issue long considered less important by the previous Conservative government.

The COP21/United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris has taken a new approach to establishing climate change targets.

“This time what they’re going to

do, so they say, is try to create a different kind of framework in which they won’t impose or make any attempt to impose targets on countries,” said Jeremy Rayner, director of the University of Saskatchewan’s Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy.

“Countries will come forward with targets on their own.”

In Canada, prime minister Justin Trudeau has said he wants to work with the provinces on targets by meeting with premiers, who have told him they want to draw up their own climate change strategy for a bottom-up approach.

The Alberta government recently

announced that it will implement a carbon tax, and British Columbia already has one.

“In some ways, for agriculture it is unfortunate that we’ve moved to the carbon tax because if we had a cap and trade system, then saved emissions would be counted as credits that could be sold,” Rayner said.

Purple gas and diesel used for agriculture are exempt from the carbon tax in B.C., and it is also expected to be exempt in Alberta.

However, Manitoba recently announced that it would stick with a carbon cap-and-trade program for its climate change plan.

Even with carbon taxes being

brought into the equation, agriculture still has a lot of opportunities to reduce its impact on the environment.

Many prairie producers took measures to help the environment decades ago by shifting to zero and minimal tillage and restoring shelter belts and waterways.

Tim Nerbas, director with the Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Association, said 70 percent of Saskatchewan farmland is under direct seeding or a low soil disturbance system.

“We’re actually removing carbon from the system and we’re storing it back in the soil because when the soil was first broke, a lot of carbon

was released for the agriculture of the day,” he said.

However, Nerbas said harmful practices, such as broadcasting nitrogen, appear to be returning.

He said it’s concerning because it leaves nutrients in the fertilizer on top of the soil, which then run off and end up in water systems and the atmosphere.

Jeff Schoenau, a professor in the U of S’s soil science department, said farmers should use the four Rs of fertilizer management: the right rate, the right source, the right time and the right place.

It means using GPS technology to place exact amounts of fertilizer where it is needed most.

Having a diversified crop rotation also helps build organic matter in the soil.

Schoenau said management practices that increase yields will generally enhance carbon sequestration in the soil.

“By increasing photosynthesis in the whole agricultural system, invariably some of that carbon that is fixed by plants in photosynthesis gets returned back to the soil in the form of dead roots and unharvested crops and crop residue,” he said.

High yielding crops can also be good for reducing cattle’s impact on the environment.

Reynold Bergen, science director with the Beef Cattle Research Council, said improving crop yields is important because producing forage and feeding from fewer acres lowers farmers’ environmental footprint As well, he said anything that improves feed efficiency for cattle will help reduce their impact on the environment.

Feeding cattle grain instead of grass can reduce their impact on the environment because they can digest grain more efficiently, said Bergen.

Producers should also consult veterinarians or nutritionists to make sure cattle are getting the right balance of nutrients from their food.

Cattle also help the environment by grazing, but Bergen said it should be on a healthy pasture.

“That healthy pasture also has healthy roots, and those roots are a natural form of carbon sequestration,” he said.

“Roots are bigger and healthier in healthy plants than they are in overgrazed pastures, and so maintaining healthy pastures is really key, of course.”

It’s still not clear how the current political spotlight on climate change will affect agriculture, but experts agree that best management practices can help producers mitigate agriculture’s environmental footprint. ashley.robinson@producer.com

HERBICIDE STUDY

Herbicide mixes tackle resistant weeds While many growers rely on herbicide and crop rotations, a U.S. study finds tank mixtures more effective

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A new research study from Illinois casts doubt on a commonly promoted method to combat herbicide resistant weeds.

The study of herbicide records from hundreds of fields over an eight-year period in that state showed that rotating herbicides from year to year increased the likelihood of developing glyphosate resistant weeds.

Joe Vink, weed management technical lead with Monsanto Canada, said the surprising findings run contrary to a commonly held belief that changing up herbicides prevents resistant weeds.

“It can be a portion of your weed management program, but if that’s the only thing you’re doing is rotating herbicides and think you’re done, then you have a false sense of security,” he recently told farmers attending Agri-Trend’s 2015 Farm Forum event.

Vink said growers are better off tank mixing herbicides so that they are applying two or more modes of action to their fields.

“More and more experts support the evidence that mixtures are more effective than herbicide rotation,” he said.

Mixtures can be highly effective in combating herbicide resistance, and growers should strive to use multiple modes of action on every acre of their land every year, he said.

“It’s not as easy as it sounds, obviously, because the way it is, not a lot of herbicides have the same efficacy as glyphosate does on such a broad range of weeds.”

A weed management specialist says “growers should strive to use multiple modes of action on every acre of their land every year.” | FILE PHOTO That’s why 71 percent of the glyphosate used by western Canadian farmers in 2014 was applied alone, eight percent was a glyphosate copack and 21 percent was tank mixed.

Glyphosate is classified as a low risk herbicide for weed resistance.

By contrast, Group 1 and 2 herbicides are considered high risk.

Vink said glyphosate will remain low risk as long as it is used properly, such as in tank mixes.

However, the foundation for weed resistance management will always be crop rotation, with ideally three or more crops.

There is a strong case for western

Canadian growers to employ an oilseed-cereal-pulse rotation.

Vink said it is even better if growers throw a forage or winter crop into the mix.

In almost every case, glyphosate resistance was found after a farmer didn’t follow the recommended crop and herbicide diversity.

The first case of glyphosate resistant waterhemp in Ontario was found in a field where the farmer had grown soybeans for nine consecutive years.

“Glyphosate was applied at least twice every single year,” he said.

It was the same scenario with glyphosate resistant giant ragweed.

The Ontario farmer planted soybeans for six consecutive years and applied only glyphosate at least twice a year.

Alberta’s first case of glyphosate resistant kochia was on a farm where the grower relied solely on glyphosate for weed management in his fallow rotations for six to eight years. There was no history of Roundup Ready crops on that farm.

Farmers should also consider using non-herbicide weed management tools.

“This gets kicked under the table, but this is so important.”

Those tools include growing competitive crops that quickly

form a canopy, increasing seeding rates and adjusting seeding depth.

Vink said growers shouldn’t be fooled into thinking they can rely on chemical companies to come up with new modes of action to combat resistance.

“To the best of my knowledge, and I’ve talked to many people about this, it’s not going to happen anytime soon,” he said.

“It’s kind of staggering. The last new class of herbicides registered in Canada was the HPPD inhibitors, Group 29. That was in 1982. So it has been a long time.” sean.pratt@producer.com

HYBRID CANOLA

Stacked canola traits allows post seeding glyphosate application

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Bayer is registering a hybrid canola that is resistant to both Liberty, glufosinate, and glyphosate herbicides.

It may be available in 2016.

“It’s not new to them (farmers),” said James Humphris, manager of seed traits at Bayer.

“They have been using these traits for many years now. They are

just both in the same hybrid with an InVigor, so it’s still within our breeding system as well.”

The InVigor Choice Hybrid contains the Liberty as well as the Roundup trait.

Stacking them in one hybrid allows growers to use two distinctive herbicide systems on the same crop. Most InVigor canola already receives a pre-emergent glyphosate spring burn-off. Now, the glyphosate resis-

NITROGEN

Humphris said growers have been concerned about how to deal with volunteer canola that will ultimately arise from this hybrid line.

“This is a reason many growers have been growing InVigor, not just because of it’s performance but because of volunteers.”

Users of the stacked-trait hybrid will need to include a tank mix partner to deal with volunteer plants because glyphosate alone will not kill it.

“But that’s no different today than a grower who is growing a straight Roundup Ready,” Humphris said.

“They need to put something into his tank to control the volunteers.”

Fertilizer delivers on demand

They should be looking at their herbicide rotation over four years, and if volunteer canola is a problem they need to have a strategy.

JAMES HUMPHRIS BAYER

Clark Brenzil, a weed control specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture, said he doesn’t foresee the hybrid being more troublesome than other canola lines, as long as producers follow recommended rotations.

“You’re going to be having cereals on either end of the canola crop, and then in the third or the fourth year of the rotation you’re going to be having a pulse opposite canola,” Brenzil said. “So by the time it rolls back around again to canola, that means the volunteers will be cleaned up. And you will largely be using groups that aren’t linked to either of those two herbicides.”

Humphris said the hybrid may not be the best product for growers with tight rotations.

“They should be looking at their herbicide rotation over four years, and if volunteer canola is a problem they need to have a strategy.”

Humphris said the hybrid would work well in fields that have high weed pressure, including Canada thistle and cleavers.

The stacked trait hybrid also provides more management options for growers with fields suffering from resistance pressure.

“Whether its Group 9 glyphosate resistance, or we are seeing Group 1 coming into the marketplace, growers’ herbicide rotations will change and they will be looking for more options. This is one of those options.” robin.booker@producer.com

Scientists hope to create a fertilizer that responds to signals from the roots calling for more nutrients

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Picture a granular fertilizer with a polymer coating that has a thin film of nanobiosensors that will release its nutrient payload only when the crop requests it.

“This is not science fiction, we are actually getting this to work,” said Carlton University PhD student Emily Mastronardi, who is developing smart release technology for large-scale applications.

“The nitrogen needs of a plant changes throughout the season,” she told the Canola Industr y Meeting held in Saskatoon last month.

“This means we need a fertilizer that matches those needs and only be there when the crop can actually take it up, instead of being there the whole time, which can be lost to the environment.”

The first step in this work is to identify signals that the plant emits when it needs nitrogen.

“If we can find that, then we can intercept and deliver nitrogen when a crop is actually asking for it,” she said.

Plants emit root exudates, which can be small carbon-containing compounds, amino acids, sugars and vitamins. Different crops emit different exudates.

Mastronardi said it’s been demonstrated that these root emissions control plant nutrient uptake and communicate with soil microbes.

There are more root emissions in periods of low nitrogen presence.

“So our goal then is to identify these specific exudates that are important for nitrogen uptake so that we can intercept them and create that smart fertilizer that will release nutrients on demand.”

Carlos M. Monreal from Carleton found these exudates by determining when nitrogen demand increases during specific growth periods of wheat and canola and then used mass spectrometry to identify exudates that occur in the soil during these periods.

He identified 12 chemical signals that closely associated with crop nitrogen uptake. Some were crop specific, which showed a potential for designing crop specific fertilizer.

Monreal’s team then identified the signals it wanted to intercept and developed biosensors to

Researchers hope to design fertilizer that understands a plant’s chemical signals, causing it to dissolve its protective coating and deliver nutrients. | FILE PHOTO detect them.

The lab where Mastronardi works is studying aptamers, which are single stranded oligonucleotides (short DNA or RNA molecules). The aptamers are synthetic and do not code for any organism.

“The reason we use them is because they can fold into 3D nanoscale shapes and that allows them to bind targets with high affinity and selectivity,” she said.

“Some aptamers can distinguish between a single functional group on a molecule.”

The researchers used a process called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) to create the aptamers.

“We synthesize in our lab a large pool,” she said.

“It’s like a DNA library of random sequences. We just picked a length, usually it’s between 40 to 80 bases long, and we synthesize a large random library. Then we incubate that library with our exudates of interest.”

The aptamers that bind with the exudates are amplified using a technology called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which pro-

vides a more enriched pool for the target exudates. The cycle is repeated until an aptamer is created with high affinity.

“If you know the downstream application you want to use your aptamer in, you can include that in your selection so that you have a chance of getting a very good aptamer that will work in your particular application,” she said.

A method called layer-by-layer deposition was used to create the smart aptamer films needed to encapsulate the fertilizer.

“What we do is alternate positive and negative polymers,” he said.

“They almost self assemble, just by dipping them into different charged polymers. Since DNA is negatively charged, we can substitute that for a negative polymer on the outside of the film, and then we just add a capping layer.”

However, the researchers needed the film to do more than just bind; they also needed it to be responsive.

As a result, they studied how the permeability of the film would change once the aptamer was bound to its target.

They found that the permeability

of the film increased when the aptamer bound with the exudates, which allowed the fertilizer payload to be released. They also found that aptamers act as a structural support for the microcapsule, and target binding leads to microcapsule rupture.

This led the group to develop two systems of smart fertilizer, which will release nutrients on demand in slightly different ways.

The first system embeds the aptamer in the wall of a microcapsule. The permeability of the film is changed when exudates are released indicating that a crop can take up nitrogen, and the payload is delivered.

The second system uses the aptamers in a microcapsule’s calcium carbonate core. Layers are built around the core, which can be dissolved when a signal is received by the exudates.

The DNA aptamer acts like scaffolding, holding up the layers. It binds when released and causes the microcapsule to burst, which then allows the nutrient load to be delivered. robin.booker@producer.com

Carbon, nitrous oxide key to greener approach Practices are available that increase soil organic carbon, but fixing more carbon in soil can have unintended consequences

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Crop production’s carbon footprint is becoming more important, especially when selling feedstock for biofuel into markets operating under a carbon cap and trade framework.

But how can growers reduce the amount of greenhouse gas that their farms emit?

“You’re not going to be able to control how much energy it takes to make fertilizer or diesel fuel or how efficient your equipment is, but you can control what you do to manage your cropping system, so there is a role for that,” said University of Saskatchewan associate professor Rick Farrell.

The agriculture sector contributes eight percent of the total amount of greenhouse gas produced in Canada, including 22 percent of methane and more than 80 percent of nitrous oxide.

The goals for greenhouse gas mitigation in the agriculture sector are twofold: enhance carbon sequestration and reduce N2O emissions.

Using practices that increase soil organic carbon in the soil, such as zero-till, does reduce the amount of net carbon dioxide that a farm produces.

However, there may also be unintended consequences of fixing more carbon in cropland, Farrell told the Canola Industry Meeting last month in Saskatoon.

“What you do to increase carbon also includes other nutrients, including nitrogen, which means

Zero-till reduces net carbon dioxide but increases nitrous oxide so a strict nutrient management system should be followed. | FILE PHOTO that you can be doing something to produce carbon and put it into the soil and the same time you may be producing N2O emissions,” Farrell said.

Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas, which will trap 289 times more heat energy than the equivalent mass of carbon dioxide.

This means 3.5 kilograms of N2O will offset one tonne of carbon sequestered in the soil.

Nitrous oxide is naturally created in soil. Even unbroken soil produces the gas because of the nitrogen cycling processes, primarily nitrification and denitrification.

“But the thing is, we are adding in plant residue or fertilizer, so we are adding in a source that pumps this

whole thing along and increase the amount of nitrogen and increases the amount of N2O,” Farrell said.

“So somewhere along here we have to be able to control or slow that down.”

Nitrous oxide emission factors in agriculture are usually looked at in terms of the percentage of applied nitrogen that is actually lost as N2O, which varies globally.

The emission factors on the Prairies are .2 to .8 percent of the applied nitrogen lost as N2O emission, while the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change guidelines for N2O emissions, which serves as a standard, are one percent.

“So out here in the semi-arid Prairies we are below that, which is a

good thing, but because we have so much land, that means that cumulatively that a large amount of N2O is being produced,” Farrell said.

He said the best way to reduce N2O emissions is to get better use of the nitrogen fertilizer that is applied, and the best way to do that is the 4R nutrient management system.

Under this strategy, producers choose the right source, rate, timing and placement of fertilizer so that it is available when a crop needs it, which maximizes its use.

Advanced efficiency and smart fertilizers can also be used to increase fertilizer efficiency within the 4R nutrient management system.

Farrell said a 4R nutrient management study at the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Diversification Centre in Outlook, Sask., found that split applications tended to result in lower N2O emissions than applying all of the urea at the same time.

“Part of that is by the time you get to the split application you have an established crop,” he said.

“The fertilizer goes in and once it become soluble and available, the crop just snaps it up and uses it and so it’s not available to be converted into N20.”

The study applied granular urea between zero and 90 kg per acre using both split applications and single applications during seeding.

Side-banded applications were also compared to broadcast applications with the urea incorporated into the soil.

The study found that the amount of nitrogen applied affected N2O emissions, especially when it was increased from 45 kg per acre.

Fertilizer placement also has a significant effect on N2O emissions.

Plots that received the side-banded application had greater nitrogen losses in the form of N20 than did plots where urea was broadcast and incorporated into the soil. “(With) the side banded fertilizer, there is an entirely different pattern, and part of the reason is we’ve taken all this fertilizer and we’ve put it into a tiny little band, which basically changed the chemistry of what occurs,” he said.

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Farrell said a study that started in 1998 at Agriculture Canada’s research centre near Scott, Sask., found that crop rotations matter when it comes to N2O emissions.

Wheat on canola had the highest total emission as well as the highest yield-scaled emissions.

“We’ve seen this in some other studies. For some reason, when growing wheat or another crop on canola stubble, you have higher emissions in that second year,” Farrell said. “Adding canola in the rotation has an environmental cost in that it adds emissions in the year following when it was grown.”

The study monitored five crop rotations: • continuous wheat crop sequence with and without fertilizer • continuous pea • pea-wheat • canola-wheat • pea-canola-wheat

Urea was banded at 30 kg per acre for canola, 25 kg per acre for wheat and three kg per acre for pea crops.

Adding a pulse crop into the rotation lowers N2O emissions because the crop’s nitrogen fixation allows less nitrogen to be applied during the rotation.

“Including a pulse in the crop sequence benefits the overall rotation on both a per area and a yield scaled emissions basis,” Farrell said. “When you look at rotations, the general feeling is that if you combine canola and a pulse in rotation, they will sort of balance each other out.”

To understand why canola residue seems to produce more greenhouse gas emissions, Far rell helped set up a study that looked at how different crop residues affect N2O emissions.

Another study, this one at four Agriculture Canada centres in the brown, dark brown, black and grey soil zones, collected soil from long-

PRODUCTION term continuous wheat plots to gauge emissions caused by different residues. The soil was adjusted so that 50 and 70 percent of the pore spaces were filled with water.

Nitrification occurred In the soil with 50 percent of the soil’s pores filled with water. Denitrification occurred in the soil with 70 percent water-filled pores.

Pea, wheat, canola, and flax residue was tested with the soil, and the study used N15-tagged nitrogen compounds to help track where the emissions originated.

“Any N15 that wound up as N2O had to have originated from the residue, so we could track how much N2O came directly from the residue and how much came from the soil,” Farrell said.

Canola, flax and peas added some nitrogen and produced slightly higher emissions in aerobic conditions with 50 percent water in pore spaces. Canola and flax always had the highest emission

values.

Canola, flax and peas added a little bit of nitrogen under anaerobic conditions, but they also added a lot of energy, which resulted in denitrification.

Canola and flax residue were again the top emitters, and the canola residue emitted the most N2O seven out of eight times.

“When you move into anaerobic conditions, remember you are also adding a lot of carbon, and the carbon provides a lot of energy and electrons to drive denitrification and again drive up emissions,” Farrell said.

Emission factors did not change considerably in the black soils with 70 percent water in the soil pores.

However, emissions were high in the gray soil with 20 percent of the nitrogen emitted as N2O. The same patterns emerged In the dark brown and the brown soils: higher emissions in anaerobic conditions but with higher

percentages of the emissions coming from plant residue.

Plant residue with high nitrogen content can act as another source of nitrogen when it is added to the soil, and an increase of N2O emissions follows, Farrell said.

Wheat has a high carbon-nitrogen ratio and tends to immobilize nitrogen, so it actually removes nitrogen from the available pool and reduces the amount of N2O that is produced.

Farrell said there is an opportunity to increase nitrogen efficiency because any N2O emissions that develop must have passed through an available form of nitrogen.

“It has to have been a nitrate at some point, so these residues also produce a lot of available nitrogen in the soil, and the question is, is that nitrogen available to the plants, when is it available? That is still to be determined.” robin.booker@producer.com

Versatile gets its colour back

BY MICHAEL RAINE SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Versatile tractors are going retro.

The machines were yellow and red when the first D100 came out in 1966, but that design was replaced by a black, red and yellow motif in 1978 and then by a Ford blue colour scheme in 1989 when New Holland bought the company.

Red returned in 2000 when Buhler took over, but yellow and black were gone.

However, the big tractors get their traditional colours back this year if farmers order them that way, including the new Delta Track. A few of the retro-look machines will be available for sale in January for delivery in July.

Above is a sneak peek at the first ones coming off the line in Winnipeg. michael.raine@producer.com

New toxins heighten need for feed tests A survey of North America found 97 percent of samples tested positive for at least one mycotoxin

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Feed grain samples were showing lower levels of mycotoxins late last year, but producers should remain vigilant for new toxins.

“2015 has definitely not been as bad, but people are more aware and they are looking,” said Dr. Barry Blakley, who heads the University of Saskatchewan’s toxicology laboratory.

Ergot continued to show up in feed samples from last year. As well, vomitoxin, known as DON, which is released by fusarium, has previously been known to present a risk, but new toxins identified as T-2 toxin and HT-2 have been discovered, said Blakley.

“Elevators are screening with Elisa kits for DON, but that is only part of the story,” he said. “DON is toxic stuff, but it is nowhere near as potent as HT-2, which is 50 times more potent than DON.… A lot of corn samples were loaded with T-2 toxins and HT-2 toxin, which we haven’t seen before.”

Ergot was more spotty in 2015, depending when crops received rain. It was a major problem in 2014.

It has been found in all prairie provinces but nothing was detected in British Columbia.

The greatest ergot problems were in Ontario, followed by Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

More corn is being grown and more is being tested.

“Some of the corn cobs were absolutely loaded with mycotoxins, but if they make silage out of it that dilutes it and makes it below the level,” he said.

Blakley said crops should be analyzed in the form they will be fed, so stalks and cobs should be checked.

Cattle will avoid them if they are contaminated.

Some grain may look fine but is loaded with mycotoxins.

Feed mills and producers have been more vigilant in testing samples, but many toxins grow in combination and may be missed in routine scans.

Feed companies have been screening the components through

28Annual

the

Blakley’s lab to make sure all the ingredients are safe. They are also avoiding using screenings that could contain what looks like weed seeds but is actually ergot.

“A lot of companies are shying away from feeding the screenings and if they are, they are going to test it beforehand,” he said.

A broad survey across North America found 97 percent of samples tested positive for at least one mycotoxin, according to Alltech, the animal nutrition company.

Toxins were lower than last year, but it does not mean the risk is less, said Alexandra Weaver, a mycotoxin specialist with Alltech.

“They are found in all commodities, and since they are invisible and often odourless compounds, we must test for them to know where they are and what we have,” she said during a Nov. 30 webinar.

“Climate plays a very big role in the development of mould and mycotoxins. Depending on the rainfall and temperature during both flowering and harvest, this can have a very big impact whether there will

be moulds that develop and grow and produce mycotoxins.”

Of the 100 samples from Canada and the United States, the greatest levels were found in the Midwest, the East Coast, Ontario and Quebec.

Fumonisin is a major mycotoxin derived from fusarium and affects grain crops.

“Fumonisins are very frequent in 80 percent of the samples we are seeing,” she said.

There were also positive cases of DON and fusaric acid because of fusarium infection of crops.

Quebec grain had higher than normal levels of vomitoxin and zeralenone, which comes from fusarium. Animals may refuse to eat contaminated feed or they can become ill.

Monogastrics such as pigs and chickens can suffer overall negative effects with sickness and poor growth. Their intestinal tracts, internal organs and immune systems may be affected.

Vaccinations may not work properly in infected animals.

influence intestinal diseases like necrotic enteritis (in poultry),” she said.

Producers have also been concerned about overheated greenfeed and hay because of the possible presence of nitrates, Alberta Agriculture forage specialist Barry Yaremcio said in an email.

Nitrates in greenfeed can be converted to nitrite if higher moisture bales become heated.

Nitrite is 10 times more toxic than nitrates.

Nitrite is formed when bale temperatures exceed 40 C during storage. Nitrites require a different test than nitrates, so both need to be checked if bales have heated.

At these temperatures, some of the protein in the feed is bound to the fibre components and is not available to the animal.

A second test needs to be done to determine the available protein compared to the crude protein level, which is reported on feed test reports. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

Canadian Pork Council hires new executive director LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

John Ross will replace Martin Rice as executive director of the Canadian Pork Council.

Ross will start his new job Feb. 29 and work with Rice until the latterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement at the end of April.

His name is likely to be familiar to many in the Canadian meat industry.

He is chair of the industry-government steering committee for countryof-origin labelling, which has been the focus of a trade dispute with the United States for several years.

He has also served as Agriculture Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative on the beef value chain roundtable.

Ross is scheduled to retire from his federal government job in mid-

February. In a news release, the pork council said it was pleased to hire a man with 30 years of experience in government and a longstanding interest in livestock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very excited to have John on our team,â&#x20AC;? said council chair Rick Bergmann in the release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John will bring his knowledge and experience from the public sector to our organization. Having worked on livestock development issues for most his career with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, his skills, leadership and experience are what our industry needs in a senior position at this time.â&#x20AC;?

The pork council represents 7,000 farms that produce 25.5 million hogs a year.

RED DEER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grazing is designed to increase producer profits while also meeting the nutritional needs of livestock.

Joshua Dukart of North Dakota factors in the needs of wildlife as well.

Dukart uses holistic management to rebuild grass and soil but also keeps an open mind when it comes to altering plans mid season to adapt to the weather, the cattle and the available grazing land.

Dukart includes wildlife in the plan because he said even through he may not like having elk on his ranch, they are the reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get bogged down with the idea that whatever you adopt, you have to do it everywhere,â&#x20AC;? he told the Alberta Sheep Breeders Symposium held in Red Deer this fall.

He calls his system purposeful grazing to get animals to the right place at the right time for the right reasons.

The most important thing is to make sure enough forage is left to avoid overgrazing and allow for recovery time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably the most underrated item that I know of in grazing management,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Recovery time starts once animals leave an area and lasts as long as they are off the pasture. This gives plants time to regrow, reproduce roots and rebuild soil.

Overgrazing can happen for a variety of reasons: â&#x20AC;˘ Individual plants can be overgrazed if animals stay too long in a pasture. The paddock can be patchy where some plants are not grazed while others are clipped off. â&#x20AC;˘ Animals return to a paddock too soon. â&#x20AC;˘ Animals graze too soon following dormancy, which stunts regrowth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more paddocks you build, the more recovery time you are going to build in there,â&#x20AC;? Dukart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is all about moving in a direction where you hit a point you are comfortable with.â&#x20AC;?

Dukart might mob graze for a short period on a particular spot to get rid of undesirable plants and then move cattle to the next pasture.

He may also move cattle every day to stimulate growth but then return to a longer rotation in which they are moved every two weeks.

Dukart said he was taught to always keep plants in their vegetative state, but he has learned that

that depends on the animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nutritional needs, which is where it becomes important be flexible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Livestock at certain times of the year need to be in performance mode, which means most of the emphasis has to be placed on their specific nutritional needs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

These periods may be breeding season, calving-lambing, weaning and lactating.

Cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nutritional requirements drop off after weaning, which means, cows can go on a pasture where the grass is more fibrous with more lignan and less green material.

Dukart said he has also learned new tricks by matching cow types to fit his grazing plans. He also grazes cattle and sheep on the same fields because they select different plants.

He moved his calving period from February to March to May and June, which is when forage is growing and provides more nutrition.

He said sometimes human intervention is necessary to improve land, but he prefers to use livestock for the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try and let nature do as much of the heavy lifting as possible,â&#x20AC;? he said. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

SENECA VALLEY VIRUS

Alert sounded for FMD look-alike

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Blisters seen around the mouth, nose and hoofs of pigs can â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and should â&#x20AC;&#x201D; raise instant reactions from hog producers.

The fear is that these blisters indicate foot and mouth disease, with its related health and trade implications, but it might also be symptomatic of the less dangerous Seneca Valley Virus.

Dr. Julia Keenliside, veterinary epidemiologist with Alberta Agriculture, said Dec. 16 that no cases of SVV have been found in Canada,

but 70 premises in the United States have identified cases.

As well, three sows exported from two locations in Canada tested positive for SVV when they arrived at slaughter in the U.S. No symptoms or positive tests were found at the source farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really are still trying to puzzle out what happened there,â&#x20AC;? said Keenliside.

SVV is not a reportable disease, but its similarities to reportable and more deadly illnesses require producers to contact their herd veterinarians immediately should they see symptoms.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distinguish it from the really scary reportable foreign animal diseases such as foot and mouth without doing lab testing,â&#x20AC;?

Keenliside said during an Alberta Pork conference call. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just by looking at the animal, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell what virus caused those blisters. There are three other reportable diseases that also cause blisters in swine. All that you have to know is that blisters around the hoofs and the mouth and the nose of pigs is really a cause for concern and must be reported immediately.â&#x20AC;? barb.glen@producer.com

SASKATCHEWAN STUDY

Bison mortality study focuses on malignant catarrhal fever ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

T

he most recent edition of the Canadian Veterinary Journal contains an observational study of bison mortality on 26 bison herds in Saskatchewan.

One of the study’s primary objectives was to describe the risk of malignant catarrhal fever in the province’s bison population.

MCF is caused by a viral infection from the ovine herpesvirus-2 virus.

It can be carried by healthy sheep and possibly goats but can sometimes have lethal consequences when transmitted to cattle or bison.

Many large outbreaks of MCF in farmed bison have been described in the past and are often associated with exposure to sheep.

The exact mechanism of transmission is not clear, but it would appear that direct contact with sheep is not always necessary. Airborne transmission of viral particles, contaminated feed or water or perhaps other sources such as wild birds may help to explain why bison herds without direct contact with sheep sometimes have outbreaks of this disease.

Unfortunately, the disease has created conflicts between bison and sheep producers and has led to calls to legislate the distances for segregating newly established farms.

This study hoped to report the risk of MCF deaths as well as other causes of bison mortality and to examine differences in bison herds that were located near sheep herds versus those located farther away.

Six of the 26 herds in the study were within one kilometre of a sheep farm, and these were designated as the high exposure group.

Nine herds were one to 5.6 km away (low exposure) and 11 herds were more than 5.6 km away (negligible exposure).

Seventy-six dead bison were examined, although herd owners reported an additional 57 mortalities that were not examined. A total of 1.1 percent of the bison died from a variety of causes during the study period.

Malignant catarrhal fever was a relatively rare event and was diagnosed in only two of the high risk herds. Within these two herds, the risk of an MCF mortality was .2 percent and .6 percent, which is also quite low.

The disease accounted for 9.2 percent of the mortalities examined in this time period, and no large outbreaks occurred.

MCF was not diagnosed in herds within the low exposure or negligible exposure groups.

The study noted that exposure to the virus is obviously a factor that could potentially influence whether clinical MCF occurred on a farm.

However, stress that precipitates clinical symptoms resulting in death could also be a factor.

The study found that the three most commonly reported causes of

death for calves and adult bison were non-infectious problems associated with calving, nutrition and trauma.

Copper deficiency was noted as a widespread problem: half of the dead bison were identified to be deficient.

These results are similar to recent studies in the beef cow population.

Even if copper deficiency was not the primary cause of death, it could contribute to other problems and potential production losses.

Dr. Tasha Epp, Dr. Cheryl Waldner and Dr. Murray Woodbury from the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine conducted the study, which described the causes of death in farmed bison over 18

months from Dec. 1, 2012 to May 31, 2014. Herds were recruited to participate in the study through the Saskatchewan Bison Association, the Canadian Bison Association and local veterinarians.

Herd owners contacted local veterinarians to perform post-mortems when animals died, and the samples were submitted with a detailed history to Prairie Diagnostic Services for examination by a pathologist and diagnostic tests.

Owners also completed a final post-study sur vey to confirm demographic information about the herd, total deaths on the farm and proximity to sheep operations.

The study will provide valuable information for bison and sheep producers as well as legislators.

MCF is carried by sheep and can be deadly when transmitted to cattle or bison. | FILE PHOTO Like all scientific studies, it has limitations and will not answer all the questions about this controversial disease.

The study was funded by Saskatchewan Agriculture and will undoubtedly play an important

role in future decisions about how to help bison and sheep producers exist in harmony.

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

LONDON, Ont. — Ahren Hughes is earning a modest income growing shiitake mushrooms on 1,200 logs in an upland forest site near Neustadt, Ont. He’s netting about $6,700 a year when all goes right. Some might not consider that to be a lot, given his experience, attention to detail and literally wheelbarrows of labour.

He has reduced his labour by switching to skids from an old hay wagon to transport logs, but much remains. He spends about three hours a day in his neighbour’s upland woodlot next to his own 45-acre farm.

“With 5,000 logs, the revenue potential would be greater, but I would be back there all day,” he said.

“I sell my mushrooms fresh in the summer and dried in the winter,” he said during the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario conference in London Dec. 4.

He prefers winter-sawn, hard maple logs with diameters of 10 to 15 centimetres. These are reasonably abundant, have durable bark and remain productive for up to five years.

Other expenses include overhead, purchased spawn (cultured fungus) and inoculation.

Mushrooms are harvested from each log twice a season. About half a pound of mushrooms are produced per picking.

The mushrooms have a fresh shelf life of three to four weeks when picked at the right maturity.

Harvest volumes can be closely managed by scheduling when logs are shocked, a process where the log is immersed in cold water to force the fungi to fruit.

Fresh shiitakes are marketed for $9 a lb. wholesale to chefs and $12 a lb. at a farmers market.

Hughes wants to increase his returns by expanding his harvest season with cold-hardy shiitake strains and finding new uses for his spent logs.

The logs can be burned, but there is also value as lumber because of the unique patterns created by the mycelium, which give the wood a distinctive rustic appeal.

More deteriorated logs can be chipped.

A pasteurization process allows mushrooms to be re-inoculated so they can be grown in trays or bags for a small harvest after a few weeks.

Log inoculation takes place in early spring to help reduce exposure to unwanted yeast and fungal spores. A hand-held grinder with a specialty bit sinks the holes three

centimetres deep. A 13 cm diametre log would need 35 holes.

Hughes uses a special tool to inject the holes with spores. He then uses beeswax to seal the holes, blemishes and log ends.

“With my operation, I want to have all my new logs ready by the end of April,” he said.

“If I had an indoor facility, nothing would stop me from doing it in February.”

The logs are then placed in the woodlot, where they receive dappled sunlight during summer with adequate but not excessive air movement.

The mycelium is allowed to propagate and colonize the entire log.

A small fall harvest is possible, but Hughes waits until the following year, when the logs are set on end in an A-frame configuration using T-bars and cables.

The logs are immersed for 24 hours into water tanks, each with a capacity for 15 logs, to shock the fungi into producing their fruiting bodies. Tiny mushrooms, which are called pins, appear in about three days and they’re ready for harvest a few days after that.

Hughes also mists his logs regu-

larly with overhead lines during extended dry periods.

Regular inspection is important to monitor undesired organisms.

They can be scraped away, but individual logs may need to be discarded.

Hughes, who grew up in Guelph, Ont., tinkered with forest mushroom production at the Ignatius Je s u i t C e nt re i n G u e l p h a n d worked in Western Canada and in Kenya as a volunteer farm labourer before farming full time.

He also grows and markets asparagus, specialty dried beans and mixed grains.

Buhler revenues down from 2014 SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Buhler posted a year end loss of $5.3 million on revenue of $245.7 million, citing weak commodity prices and the unstable political environment in Eastern Europe.

Results were down from 2014 when the farm tractor and equipment maker poised a profit of $12.5 million on revenue of $325.5 million.

Sales in Canada in 2015 were steady with the previous year, but sales to the United States and Eastern Europe were down significantly.

FARM SUCCESSION

Adding a new generation first requires financial checkup TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

COLIN MILLER

F

amilies thinking about including the next generation in the farm need to first carry out a financial checkup to make sure it can feed two families.

Key areas need to be reviewed with an accountant to determine the farm’s financial health.

Solvency This is a farm’s ability to meet its long-term financial obligations.

Adding another family to the operation may require expansion of the current farm. The family needs to calculate their ability to cover debt to ensure they are able to cover their current loan amounts and possibly take on more debt.

The debt to asset ratio, which is total farm liabilities divided by fair market value, shows the percentage of the farm’s assets that are tied up as collateral for loans. Higher ratios are more likely to affect the farm’s ability to borrow more

COMMODITY MARKETS

NobleAgri sold to Chinese firm N E W YO R K / H O N G KO N G (Reuters) — Noble Group Ltd. will sell the remaining 49 percent stake in its agribusiness to China’s stateowned COFCO International Ltd. Asia’s biggest commodity merchant is leaving the agricultural market as part of an effort to slash debt.

The $750 million cash deal will hand COFCO full ownership of Noble Agri, which will be renamed COFCO Agri. It will handle commodities such as corn, sugar, cocoa and fertilizer as China seeks greater access to food.

The purchase will also expand COFCO’s global footprint in agricultural markets, rivalling the industry’s big four: Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. It bought an initial 51 percent stake in Noble Agri in April 2014.

“The acquisition will greatly accelerate COFCO’s internationalization and global positioning,” chair Frank Gaoning Ning said, adding that COFCO was bullish on the business’s long-term outlook.

The terms of the deal also include an additional deferred payment of up to $200 million if the business is listed on a stock market or sold and also based on the unit’s future performance.

For Noble, the deal is a major step toward helping it retain its investment grade credit rating and repair investor confidence after a bruising accounting dispute.

The company said the proceeds will go toward paying off debt.

money because the bank may be concerned with its ability to pay debts if times get tough.

A ratio below 30 percent is generally good, while a ratio above 60 percent could raise concern. However, this varies depending on the type of farming operation it is and whether a farm is growing or already established.

The debt to equity ratio, which is total farm liabilities divided by total farm equity, compares the bank’s ownership of an operation to the farmers’ ownership.

A lower ratio is good while a ratio above 1.5 could raise concerns that the farm is carrying too much debt.

Again, this depends on where the farmers are in their career and the type of farming operation.

Liquidity This addresses whether a farm meet its cash obligations within the year. It is the ability to generate the cash needed to pay for farm and living expenses, taxes and debt payments.

The farm may be generating sufficient cash flow for the current operation, but adding another family will increase the need for cash to cover the added expenses.

The current ratio, which is the total current farm assets (cash, inventory, accounts receivable) divided by total current farm liabilities (financial obligations due within the year), demonstrates how easily a farm can pay off its

debts that are due within the year.

A ratio above two is really good while anything below one could raise concerns about possible missed or late payments.

Debt coverage This is the ability of a farm to pay current debt obligations.

Using most of a farm’s income to make debt and interest payments may make it difficult to support the next generation.

Adding net income, amortization (depreciation) and interest on long-term debt and dividing by cash needed to cover debt allows farmers to see how much of their cash flow from operations is used to pay down long-term debts.

A debt coverage ratio of less than one will raise concerns about a farm’s ability to cover its current debt.

There may still be ways to include the next generation even if the financial ratios are not great. Offfarm sources of income may need to be considered while the farming operation grows large enough to support both families.

It’s important to obtain professional advice when making these decisions.
